The limited
field of view from the pilot's cockpit limits pilot's ability to
avoid any close proximity to other air traffic around him during
the course of the flight as well as on the ground. He is, therefore,
dependent on the Air Traffic Controller for directing him in his
flight and on the ground for all manoeuvres right till the end of
his journey.
To eliminate
confusion in understanding a particular instruction, standard Radio
Phraseologies have been laid down which are understood by the pilots
and Air Traffic Controllers the world over. A small mistake by Air
Traffic controller or a misunderstanding by a pilot can result in
a disaster and the loss of many lives. While pilots are required
to follow Controller's instructions faithfully and meticulously,
Air traffic Controller ensures that the instructions given are clear
and flawless.
