two types of air traffic controllers. </p><p class="paragraph">One type of air traffic controller is based at the airport, in a control tower. </p><p class="paragraph">The other type of air traffic controller sits in a control centre. </p><p class="paragraph"> </p><p class="paragraph">The air traffic controllers in the <strong>control tower </strong>sit high above the airport. </p><p class="paragraph">From there, they can see everything. </p><p class="paragraph">They can see the taxiways where the aircraft are moving on the ground, the runways and the surrounding area. </p><p class="paragraph">They talk to the pilots on their radios. </p><p class="paragraph">They tell them when they can take off or land. </p><p class="paragraph">They also look after the aircraft on the ground. </p><p class="paragraph"> </p><p class="paragraph">The air traffic controllers in the <strong>control centres</strong> do not see any real aircraft. </p><p class="paragraph">They sit in front of screens. </p><p class="paragraph">On these screens, aircraft are displayed as symbols. </p><p class="paragraph">Radar systems are used to display these symbols. </p><p class="paragraph">Radar facilities send out signals. </p><p class="paragraph">These signals are invisible. </p><p class="paragraph">When the signals hit an aircraft, they are reflected back. </p><p class="paragraph">Then the signals are picked up again by the radar facility. </p><p class="paragraph">We have many radar facilities. </p><p class="paragraph">They are located all over Germany. </p><p class="paragraph">This way, the air traffic controllers always know where the aircraft are. </p><p class="paragraph"> </p><p class="paragraph">The sky over Germany is very big. </p><p class="paragraph">That is why air traffic controllers in the control centres share their work. </p><p class="paragraph">Each air traffic controller looks after one part of the sky. </p><p class="paragraph">This means the sky is divided into many small pieces. </p><p class="paragraph">Just like a jigsaw puzzle. </p><p class="paragraph">We call these pieces sectors. </p><p class="paragraph">Each sector is controlled by a team
