Air Traffic Control (ATC) services play a critical role in ensuring safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the skies. However, the increasing demand for air travel and the growing complexity of aircraft systems have put a strain on the ATC infrastructure, resulting in various challenges. One of the most significant challenges faced by ATC services is processing errors due to Defruiting . This article aims to explore the impact of processing errors due to Defruiting on ATC services, the steps to rectify and prevent these errors, and the factors responsible for them.

Voltage fluctuations due to power source errors can disrupt Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, leading to operational failures, communication issues, and compromised safety. Proper power conditioning and backup systems are essential to mitigate such risks.

UPS-related power source errors have a significant impact on ATC, leading to potential disruptions in communication, radar systems, and critical equipment. See the details and learn how SkySMC can be used to train ATSEP on this use case.

A waveguide is a structure designed to confine and guide electromagnetic waves, typically in the microwave frequency range. It can be considered a hollow metal tube that serves as a low-loss transmission line for high-frequency signals.

In air traffic control services, instrument misuse errors refer to errors made by air traffic controllers in using air traffic control equipment or systems, such as radars, communication systems, or flight data processing systems.

Missing command error refers to a situation where a required command is not found, causing a program or a system to be unable to execute properly. This article has the ATSEP-Strategies to be adopted to Mitigate the Risk of Software Related Missing Command Error.

Radar Interference due to ADS-B can create hindrances in normal operations of a radar system.

In air traffic control (ATC), instrument errors refer to inaccuracies or malfunctions in the equipment used to monitor and control aircraft. These errors can range from a simple misreading of instrument displays to more complex system failures that can impact the safe operation of aircraft.

A "transmitter-related power error" refers to a situation in which the power output from a transmitter is incorrect or not functioning as intended.
