Hey guys, quick nerd dispatch about Aviation stuff. Celine was talking about earlier, the air traffic control, you're on the right track. It's you you're you're correct Saline. Uh, air traffic is separated, vertically, and horizontally and it's handled by a ton of different people along the Route. Um, you have a ground controller, controlling everything on the ground. Moving around the airport tower. Is everybody taking off and landing at the airport. Uh and in like the immediate vicinity like right next to the airport on Final Approach, stuff like that beyond that you get a little bit higher up to about 12, 15,000 feet is traycon. Traycon is the thing that Newark can't keep running properly and that is actually the most important area because that is the first and last 10 minutes of flight, probably the most dangerous part of flight. Um, you there is, is that first, and last 10 minutes, when you're approaching the area, you're close to all the other aircraft that area is also controlled. Separately from everything else is actually even they'll split that up into other controllers based on volume. And then once you get above that, about 18,000 feet, you get to, uh, Center. And then that's basically all the in route flights. So when you've already gotten up to your cruise altitude, And the seat belts are off and everything like that that Center control. And then across the country, there are different sectors 13 or 14 different sectors across the country. Uh, that use basically, they'll switch their frequencies based on what part of the country. They're flying into and talk to that controller there. So uh, yeah, your Aviation nerd fact of the week. Okay, that's it. I'm done.
