Abstract

An air traffic control system which prevents a human air traffic controller from speaking directly with an aircraft crew, but which receives instructions from a human air traffic controller, understands their semantic meaning, integrates the semantic meaning of these instructions with specified parameters to maximize safety of the aircraft, and transmits them to the aircraft crew through a computer generated voice message.
