Do air traffic controllers notify other airports when a flight arrives?
For example, suppose that a Delta flight from Atlanta arrives without incident at Detroit. Would Detroit's ATC have to notify Atlanta's ATC of this? Or would this be a matter for the airline's operations department?
ATC is basically a relay system. When the flight leaves one sector, it is picked up by ATC in the next sector. There's no need to let the originating ATC know that the flight has landed.
It goes on the system that all relevant parties can access
They can.
There's not much need to do so.
The pilots and internal things on planes send messages to the Airline control center that the plane has landed, the plane is at the gate. And other stuff.
Far away Air traffic control is only really concerned when the plane DOES NOT arrive as expected.
For the purpose of your question The Airline operations department is the ATC of the Airline.
Delta had a big problem as well as other Airlines about twenty years ago at the Detroit Airport.
The planes landed as normal. There was a blizzard. The crews to deal with the planes were stuck in traffic. Eventually later planes were diverted to other Airports A very chaotic day for those involved.
It took a while for the control center to understand the issue that the plane had landed but was stuck getting to an empty gate.
The Air Traffic controllers care that the flight arrives safely at its destination, they don't really care how and when it gets there once it leaves their sector, as long as the flight does not end up on the evening news. The Atlanta Tower controllers hand the departing flight to the Atlanta Departure controller and the flight becomes that controller's problem, and so on and so on until the flight blocks in at its arrival gate.
Delta, on the other hand, cares very much that one of its flight arrives safely and on time. A late or diverted flight creates all sorts of problems for connecting passengers and aircraft and air crew schedulers.
Not per se. Not by phone at least. They log it into a computer which the airlines have access to. Obviously the operations center of any airline wants to know when one of their planes departs or lands or has a problem. They need this info to make sure flights are on time or to substitute a plane if needed.
Flights are passed off from one ATC to the next, and they are of little concern once they have been passed off. Arrival information is logged into a computer system, which can be accessed by the people who need that information.
If they don't they should
- Flight status from Paris to Benin (country in Africa)? When I tried to see the flight status Live in route on Air France, all it states is? "Flight position Not available at this time". What are the reasons that could be? When I have tried to see the flight status for other flights, I have no problem seeing the Live Flight status, so why am I having difficulty for this flight. I even contacted the airline and they don't know either. So any information on this would be helpful and interesting.
- Do passenger air jets fly over the North Pole often on their way to other side of world (Ex. China) from North America? Was watching a documentary where someone left Canada on a passenger jet and they showed the flight going over the north pole to China would it not be kind of dangerous if they had to land and had to get out at the North pole? the cold air pressure is not too much for passengers inside?
- How soon will the Airports start using these electronic powered airplanes. This will greatly reduce the air polution from Gas powered planes? https://www.google.com/...-show/amp/
- How can I become and Air Traffic Controller? I'm very interested in becoming an Air Traffic Controller! I love the communication side of Aviation. I'm currently a Sophomore in college and my school does not offer an AT-CTI program, but it offers Flight Operations and Aviation Management (which I'm taking both). I was wondering what the process would be to become a controller the civilian way. I do not desire to join the military. I just want to be an ATC at airports in the US
