The Last Dalai Lama?

On a wet Sunday in June at the Glastonbury Festival, more than 100,000 people spontaneously burst into a rendition of ‘‘Happy Birthday.’’ Onstage, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, blew out the solitary candle on a large birthday cake while clasping the hand of Patti Smith, who stood beside him. The world’s most famous monk then poked a thick finger at Smith’s silvery mane. ‘‘Musicians,’’ he said, ‘‘white hair.’’ But ‘‘the voice and physical action,’’ he added in his booming baritone, ‘‘forceful.’’ As Smith giggled, he went on: ‘‘So, that gives me encouragement. Myself, now 80 years old, but I should be like you — more active!’’

Meet the 'homeless man' who flies the world first class

For the last year and a half, Ben Schlappig has been essentially homeless. The 25-year-old American has ______ fixed address, ______ the keys to his own front door. Why bother paying rent, he figured, when a bed was only ever a first class ticket away?

Schlappig is a "Hobbyist," as those in the game call it - a professional traveler with an almost obsessive attention to fine print, who uses a mixture of frequent flyer miles and credit card reward points, to zoom around the globe for a fraction of the cost.

Since he first started racking up air miles a little over a decade ago – yes, he was just 14 when he started this – Schlappig says he's never flown economy on an international flight.

Heathrow expansion should face strict environmental conditions, say MPs.

Final government approval for the expansion of Heathrow should be withheld until Europe’s busiest airport can demonstrate that it accepts and will comply with key environmental conditions, a parliamentary committee has concluded.

MPs on the environmental audit committee have been hearing evidence on the likely carbon emissions, air quality and noise levels after the government-appointed Airports Commission recommended a third runway at Heathrow as the preferred plan for London airport expansion.

➧ TEXT: The following text refers to questions 21 e 22.

The following are examples of types of air traffic controllers:

Tower controllers direct the movement of vehicles on runways and taxiways. They check flight plans, give pilots clearance for takeoff or landing, and direct the movement of aircraft and other traffic on the runways and other parts of the airport. Most work from control towers, as they generally must be able to see the traffic they control.

Approach and departure controllers ensure that aircraft traveling within an airport's airspace maintain minimum separation for safety. They give clearances to enter controlled airspace and hand off control of aircraft to en route controllers. They use radar equipment to monitor flight paths and work in buildings known as Terminal Radar Approach Control Centers (TRACON). They also provide information to pilots, such as weather conditions and other critical notices.

En route controllers monitor aircraft once they leave an airport's airspace. They work at air route traffic control centers located throughout the country, which typically are not located at airports.

Each center is assigned an airspace based on the geography and altitude of the area in which it is located. As an airplane approaches and flies through a center's airspace, en route controllers guide the airplane along its route. They may adjust the flight path of aircraft for safety and collision avoidance.

Air Traffic Controllers

Air traffic controllers coordinate the movement of air traffic, to ensure that aircraft stay safe distances apart.

Duties:

Air traffic controllers typically do the following:

- Issue landing and takeoff instructions to pilots;

- Monitor and direct the movement of aircraft on the ground and in the air, using radar, computers, or visual references; - Control all ground traffic at airports, including baggage vehicles and airport workers;

- Manage communications by transferring control of departing flights to traffic control centers and accepting control of arriving flights;

- Provide information to pilots, such as weather updates, runway closures, and other critical information; and

- Alert airport response staff, in the event of an aircraft emergency.

Air traffic controllers' primary concern is safety, but they also must direct aircraft efficiently to minimize delays. They manage the flow of aircraft into and out of the airport airspace, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and monitor aircraft, as they travel through the skies.

Controllers usually manage multiple aircraft at the same time and must make quick decisions to ensure the safety of the aircraft. For example, a controller might direct one aircraft on its landing approach, while providing another aircraft with weather information.
