The Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee (ATPAC) makes recommendations for standardizing, clarifying, and upgrading present air traffic control procedures and practices. It also has the function of reviewing new or revised procedures necessary to accommodate changing air traffic control concepts.

ATPAC serves the public interest by providing a forum for interaction among the FAA, the military, the airlines, airline pilots, air traffic control representatives, general aviation pilots, business pilots, and their representatives. The level of expertise and balanced viewpoint on this committee has enabled early identification of potential problem areas and accelerated early corrective action. As a result, a much greater level of safety and public confidence in the nation’s air transportation system has occurred.
