Multiple Choice

Provide airport traffic control service based only upon ___________.

Explanation:
Air traffic control provides service based on traffic that the controller can observe or knows about. This observed or known traffic is what lets the controller sequence aircraft, issue clearances, and maintain safe separation. Other factors like weather or pilot requests influence how service is carried out, but they don’t establish the basis for providing the service. For example, separation decisions are built on where the other aircraft actually are (or have been reported to be), not on hypothetical distance or on pilots asking for a particular clearance.
