Problem:
Create an Air traffic control system simulation in C programming
This task will simulate the control of a single airplane from departure to arrival. At the departure airport, Air Control Officer I will be responsible for getting the aircraft safely up to the required altitude for handover to the pilot. When the aircraft is within the area of responsibility of the destination airport, Air Control Officer II will take over control of the aircraft and guide it descend and landing. Between handing over to the pilot and from the pilot to Air Control Officer II the airplane will be flying auto mode. The simulation will present an appropriate graphical interface to show the flight profile, display relevant information about the aircraft, the dialog between pilot and air control officers etc. The Air control officers will be required to pass information to the pilot. The pilot will then make the requisite change to ensure that the plane follows a safe flight path. These requirements will be updated as clarification are solicited and ratified.

Additional Information:
This question is from Computer Science, particularly to C programming. The question here is about developing the program in C which simulates a flight seen upon radar screen. This simulation can be helpful for Air Traffic Controllers who direct flights to their destinations correctly.
