the smooth, safe traffic flow in and out of a controlled airport is the responsability of whom /when?

Question

this is a faa quetion

Answer 1

14 CFR PART 91
§91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.

(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.

Answer 2

Air Traffic Controllers, they manage flights ingressing and egressing the flight pattern and the sectors outside the flight patterns.
Just because they give instructions on how not to bump into one another, a pilot's best bet may be to ALWAYS rely on his TCAS/BCAS (Tactical Collision Avoidance System/ Beacon Collision Avoidance System).
This way of backing oneself with extra caution, helps against human error (from the ATC guys), because with TCAS/BCAS, an airplane on autopilot can and will evade another (the other one if similarly equipped will do the same) airplane if it/they detect a "path conflict". In the case where one or more airplanes aren't on autopilot, well, they'll just warn the pilots to steer the airplane on an evasion path "carved" out by TCAS/BCAS.
Remeber the 1972 collision at San Diego between a Boeing 727 and a Cessna. And recently, the collision between a DHL Boeing 757 cargo jet and a Russian Tupolev...ummmm...I cant seem to remeber what model it was. Anyway, my point -I hope- is clear.

Answer 3

the flow of traffic on the ground and in the air is always managed by air traffic controllers. They make sure that planes are spaced out evenly on approach or departing. Sometimes with big international airports, this is monitored 24 hours a day/7 days a week

Answer 4

If it's a controlled airport, then it has to be the air traffic controllers. But the pilots have a responsibility to look out and avoid doing anything stupid, because nobody (including ATC) is perfect.

Answer 5

ultimately the pilots are responsible. ATC monitors and gives directions. most the time these directions are the best because the controllers have a view of the big picture. but if something goes wrong even in controlled space the pilots are responsible for the safe out come of the flights.

Answer 6

The credit goes to the Air traffic controllers .

Answer 7

By definition, a controlled airport's traffic pattern is managed by air traffic controllers.

Answer 8

This is the responsibility of ATC (air traffic controll )

Answer 9

ATC
