It takes a lot of coordination to keep things moving smoothly at an airline's hub airport. We took a tour through the American Airlines control tower to see what it takes to keep the planes flying.
When a plane lands, it needs to have a ramp assigned so pilots know exactly where to park. People in the tower keep an eye on this whole moving puzzle that involves planes coming in from all over.
No more marshaling and wing walking (the guys on the pavement that used to tell the pilots where to move and park). American's operations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport now do all that with laser measurements and automated systems.
The tower manager keeps an eye on everything, from incoming traffic to weather (even predicting the weather), so that there are no unnecessary delays for flights.
There's no view like the one from the roof of the control tower. You can see for twenty miles, across an area the size of Manhattan at DFW.
