10.50 Social Psychology and Flight Deck Management

10.50.2 Explain how outside resources, such as ATC, engineers and other pilots can contribute to a pilot’s management of a flight.

Outside resources, such as air traffic controllers (ATC), engineers, and other pilots, play crucial roles in a pilot's management of a flight.

Let's take a closer look at how each of these resources contributes:

1. Air Traffic Controllers (ATC): 

ATC personnel provide vital assistance to pilots throughout the flight.

They help with route planning, provide real-time weather updates, and ensure safe separation between aircraft.

ATC also guides pilots during take-off, landing, and while navigating through controlled airspace, enhancing overall flight management.
