The introduction of virtual towers, as defined in EUROCAE Standard ED-240A, and the remote working of Air Traffic Controllers and Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEPs) will bring a plethora of advantages for ATC. It also requires modern Remote Monitoring and Control Systems and a Specific Skill Set for ATSEP.

Four videos provide a deep insight into SkyRadar's SMC infrastructure and exercises for ATSEP qualification in compliance with EASA's Easy Access Rules for Air Traffic Management.

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.

Transmission errors can be divided on the base of the media through which transmission is taking place. Coupler Errors produce disturbances in transmission.
