What Happens in the Control Tower?

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to keep track of all your toy cars. In real life, there's a team of people who do a similar job but with airplanes! This team works in a place called the control tower.

Big Screens

Inside the control tower, there are big screens that show where all the airplanes are flying in the sky. It's like a giant computer game where they can see everything happening around them.

Talking to Pilots

The people who work in the control tower, called air traffic controllers, use radios to talk to the pilots. They tell them when it's safe to take off, which means they can go up into the sky, and when it's safe to land, which means coming back down to the ground.

Keeping Everyone Safe

The air traffic controllers help make sure that all the airplanes stay at a safe distance from each other. They are like superheroes who help the pilots know what to do next. Their job is to make sure that everyone gets where they need to go safely!
