Air Traffic Controllers
Air traffic controllers coordinate the movement of air
traffic, to ensure that aircraft stay safe distances apart.
Duties
Air traffic controllers typically do the following:
[5] - Issue landing and takeoff instructions to pilots;
- Monitor and direct the movement of aircraft on the
ground and in the air, using radar, computers, or visual
references;
- Control all ground traffic at airports, including baggage
[10] vehicles and airport workers;
- Manage communications by transferring control of
departing flights to traffic control centers and accepting
control of arriving flights;
- Provide information to pilots, such as weather updates,
[15] runway closures, and other critical information; and
- Alert airport response staff, in the event of an aircraft
emergency.
Air traffic controllers' primary concern is safety, but they
also must direct aircraft efficiently to minimize delays. They
[20] manage the flow of aircraft into and out of the airport
airspace, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and monitor
aircraft, as they travel through the skies.
Controllers usually manage multiple aircraft at the same
time and must make quick decisions to ensure the safety of
[25] the aircraft. For example, a controller might direct one
aircraft on its landing approach, while providing another
aircraft with weather information.

Heathrow expansion should face strict environmental conditions, say MPs.
[1] Final government approval for the expansion of Heathrow
should be withheld until Europe’s busiest airport can
demonstrate that it accepts and will comply with key
environmental conditions, a parliamentary committee has
concluded.
MPs on the environmental audit committee have been
[5] hearing evidence on the likely carbon emissions, air quality
and noise levels after the government-appointed Airports
Commission recommended a third runway at Heathrow as
the preferred plan for London airport expansion.

Write true (T) or false (F), according to the text:
( ) The expansion of Heathrow airport ought to be blocked until the busiest airport complies with key environmental conditions.
( ) The expansion of Heathrow should begin once Europe’s busiest airport may accept other conditions for weather.
( ) Europe’s busiest airport can accept this change under two conditions: better air quality and lower noise levels.
( ) Heathrow airport can choose the best alternative for environmental conditions.
