Why don't planes collide in the air.

Is it that only one plane flies at a point in time?

No question is stupid sir.

There have been many near collisions in the air and several actual collisions including one in 1960 that killed 134 in New York. But when you factor in the number of planes that fly everyday; every year- the probability is very very very low due to onboard systems , pilot training , the vastness of the sky compared to a plane size and God's Grace.

Quick recovery bawo, did you even read the post?

gambia:


Baba, person must injure nah, you dey mind them.

I am shocked



So planes have finally learnt how to do accident...



In this 2020... Na im b say we Don die finish

That's why airports have Air Traffic Control (ATC).

They are people trained to monitor airplanes on the ground and in the air. They speak with pilots (through radio) before and during flights, to prevent a collision.

(ATC are often based inside those tall towers in airports.)

Airplanes also have collision avoidance equipment showing them every other airplane in the vicinity. The equipment will usually warn them if they are on a collision course with another airplane.

Even at that, collisions still happen, but they are very rare because:

(i) There are more cars than airplanes.
(ii) The air is a three-dimensional space.

It has length, breadth, and height compared to roads which only have length and breadth. That makes roads two dimensional.

This basically means two airplanes can be on the same "lane" but with one flying over the other, which makes collision rarer.
