Air traffic control (ATC) involves ground-based air traffic controllers directing aircraft both on the ground and in the air. The primary purposes of ATC are to prevent collisions, organize efficient air traffic flow, and provide pilots with information. Controllers operate air traffic control systems to expedite air traffic safely and prevent mid-air collisions. ATC has developed since the 1920s with the introduction of radio technology and navigation aids, and establishment of regulations and procedures. Key types of ATC services include area control, approach control, aerodrome control, flight information, and alerting services.
This document provides information on the aeronautical experience, flight time requirements, and currency requirements to obtain an instrument rating for airplanes. It also summarizes regulations regarding aircraft and personal documents required for IFR flight, as well as preflight planning considerations such as weather minimums, alternate airports, and fuel requirements.

It provides the purpose, components, and issuance intervals of these products and classifications.
When clearing an aircraft to hold at a fix other than its destination airport, air traffic controllers should consider operational factors like delay length, holding airspace limitations, navigational aids, altitude, and weather conditions. Controllers will issue the clearance limit, holding instructions, and expected further clearance time to aircraft. They may omit certain holding instructions if no delay is expected. Controllers should provide delay information and additional clearance times to aircraft as needed based on traffic conditions.

Optimization of Cumulative Energy, Exergy Consumption and Environmental Life ...J. Agricultural Machinery
油
Optimal use of resources, including energy, is one of the most important principles in modern and sustainable agricultural systems. Exergy analysis and life cycle assessment were used to study the efficient use of inputs, energy consumption reduction, and various environmental effects in the corn production system in Lorestan province, Iran. The required data were collected from farmers in Lorestan province using random sampling. The Cobb-Douglas equation and data envelopment analysis were utilized for modeling and optimizing cumulative energy and exergy consumption (CEnC and CExC) and devising strategies to mitigate the environmental impacts of corn production. The Cobb-Douglas equation results revealed that electricity, diesel fuel, and N-fertilizer were the major contributors to CExC in the corn production system. According to the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) results, the average efficiency of all farms in terms of CExC was 94.7% in the CCR model and 97.8% in the BCC model. Furthermore, the results indicated that there was excessive consumption of inputs, particularly potassium and phosphate fertilizers. By adopting more suitable methods based on DEA of efficient farmers, it was possible to save 6.47, 10.42, 7.40, 13.32, 31.29, 3.25, and 6.78% in the exergy consumption of diesel fuel, electricity, machinery, chemical fertilizers, biocides, seeds, and irrigation, respectively.
How to Build a Maze Solving Robot Using ArduinoCircuitDigest

Preface: The ReGenX Generator innovation operates with a US Patented Frequency Dependent Load Current Delay which delays the creation and storage of created Electromagnetic Field Energy around the exterior of the generator coil. The result is the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy performs any magnitude of Positive Electro-Mechanical Work at infinite efficiency on the generator's Rotating Magnetic Field, increasing its Kinetic Energy and increasing the Kinetic Energy of an EV or ICE Vehicle to any magnitude without requiring any Externally Supplied Input Energy. In Electricity Generation applications the ReGenX Generator innovation now allows all electricity to be generated at infinite efficiency requiring zero Input Energy, zero Input Energy Cost, while producing zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions, zero Air Pollution and zero Nuclear Waste during the Electricity Generation Phase. In Electric Motor operation the ReGen-X Quantum Motor now allows any magnitude of Work to be performed with zero Electric Input Energy.
Demonstration Protocol: The demonstration protocol involves three prototypes;
1. Protytpe #1, demonstrates the ReGenX Generator's Load Current Time Delay when compared to the instantaneous Load Current Sine Wave for a Conventional Generator Coil.
2. In the Conventional Faraday Generator operation the created Electromagnetic Field Energy performs Negative Work at infinite efficiency and it reduces the Kinetic Energy of the system.
3. The Magnitude of the Negative Work / System Kinetic Energy Reduction (in Joules) is equal to the Magnitude of the created Electromagnetic Field Energy (also in Joules).
4. When the Conventional Faraday Generator is placed On-Load, Negative Work is performed and the speed of the system decreases according to Lenz's Law of Induction.
5. In order to maintain the System Speed and the Electric Power magnitude to the Loads, additional Input Power must be supplied to the Prime Mover and additional Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft.
6. For example, if 100 Watts of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >100 Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the Prime Mover.
7. If 1 MW of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >1 MW Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the Prime Mover.
8. Generally speaking the ratio is 2 Watts of Mechanical Input Power to every 1 Watt of Electric Output Power generated.
9. The increase in Drive Shaft Mechanical Input Power is provided by the Prime Mover and the Input Energy Source which powers the Prime Mover.
10. In the Heins ReGenX Generator operation the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy performs Positive Work at infinite efficiency and it increases the Kinetic Energy of the system.

3. WHAT IS ATC FLIGHT PLAN
An ATC flight plan is a document which provides
specified information to air traffic service units
relative to an intended flight or portion of a flight of
an aircraft. (ICAO Annex 2: Rules of the Air).
4. WHAT IS ATC FLIGHT PLAN
Detailed rules regarding submission, contents,
completion, changes to, and closing of a flight plan
are contained in ICAO Annex 2 (Rules of the Air) and
in national flight information publications. (see
CAAM E-AIP)
A flight plan may be filed as a written document, an
electronic document, or may be filed verbally.
The operators, dispatcher and ATC hold a copy of
flight plan.
After FP have been signed by dispatcher, dispatcher
needs to brief to pilot
5. A flight plan shall be submitted prior to
operating:
any flight or portion thereof to be provided
with air traffic control service;
any IFR flight within advisory airspace;
any flight across international borders.
WHAT IS ATC FLIGHT PLAN
6. CONT.
any flight within or into designated areas, or
along designated routes, when so required by
the appropriate ATS authority to facilitate the
provision of flight information, alerting and
search and rescue services;
7. CONT.
any flight within or into designated areas, or along designated
routes, when so required by the appropriate ATS authority to
facilitate co-ordination with appropriate military units or with
air traffic services units in adjacent States in order to avoid the
possible need for interception for the purpose of identification;
11. Submission of a flight plan
(GENERAL)
Prior or before to departure or when ever the
aircraft want to take-off.
Should be submitted in person or by telephone to ATS
reporting office at the departure aerodrome.
Except when other arrangement have been made for
submission or repetitive flight plan.
During flight
Normally be transmitted to the aeronautical
telecommunication station serving the ATC unit in
charge of the flight information region. (FIR)
12. WHEN TO SUBMIT ATC FLIGHT PLAN
(AS PER CAAM)
The flight plan shall be submitted by the operator or pilot-in-
command to the nearest ATC unit.

13. ACKNOWLDGEMENT OF ATC FLIGHT PLAN
(AS PER CAAM)
In the event of a proposed delay of 30 minutes or more to the
departure time for a flight plan when a flight plan has been
previously filed, the pilot-in-command or his representative will
be required to notify ATC of the revised ETD. Where applicable
the flight plan should be amended or a new flight plan submitted
by the pilot-in-command and the old flight plan cancelled.
A pilot-in-command may change from an IFR flight plan to a VFR
flight plan by reporting 'CANCELLING MY IFR FLIGHT' when
weather conditions indicate that the remainder of the flight can
be conducted under VFR.
14. ACKNOWLDGEMENT OF ATC FLIGHT PLAN
(AS PER CAAM)
When it becomes evident that flight in VMC in accordance with its current flight plan will
not be practicable, a VFR flight operated as a controlled flight shall:
a. Request an amended clearance enabling the aircraft to continue in VMC to
destination or to an alternative aerodrome, or to leave the airspace within which an
ATC clearance is required; or
b. If no clearance in accordance with a) can be obtained, continue to operate in VMC
and notify the appropriate ATC unit of the action being taken either to leave the
airspace concerned or to land at the nearest suitable aerodrome; or
c. If operated within a control zone, request authorization to operate as a special VFR
flight which is to request clearance to operate in accordance with the instrument
flight rules.
15. Acceptance of a flight plan
The first ATS unit receiving a flight plan, or change
thereto, shall:
1. Check it for compliance with the format and data
conventions
2. Check it for completeness and to extent possible for
accuracy
3. Take action, if necessary to make it acceptable to
the ATS
4. Indicate acceptance of the flight plan or change
thereto, to the originator.

A repetitive flight plan (RPL) is a flight
plan related to a series of frequently
recurring, regularly operated individual
flights with identical basic features,
submitted by an operator for retention
and repetitive use by ATS units. (ICAO
Annex 2: Rules of the Air)
RPLs are routinely used by most airlines
for regular scheduled flights which
operate over the same route at least
once a week.
