Evaluation of Controller Strategies in Air Traffic Management for KLFIR Oceanic Sector / Mohamad Fuad Sidik ...[et al.]

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by ground to control movement of all aircraft within a controlled airspace. This is done by using either Radar Control or Procedural Control depending on the availability of radar system in the area. In Peninsular Malaysia, these controlled areas are k...
