Vectors: Air Traffic Control

The video explains the critical role of air traffic controllers in ensuring safe air travel by using vectors. Vectors, which have both magnitude and direction, are used to track aircraft positions and directions. The video details how vectors are calculated and used to maintain safe distances between planes, ensuring parallel paths to avoid collisions. It highlights the importance of vectors in aviation safety, given the absence of physical traffic controls in the sky.

What calculation is performed to determine the vector describing the movement of an object between two points?

Why are vectors considered vital for air traffic safety?
