A control zone (CTR or controlled traffic region) in

aviation is a volume of controlled airspace, normally

around an airport, which extends from the surface to

a specified upper limit, established to protect air traffic

operating to and from that airport.

Because CTRs are, by definition, controlled airspace,

aircraft can only fly in it after receiving a specific

clearance from air traffic control.

This means that air traffic control at the airport know

exactly which aircraft are in that airspace, and can take

steps to ensure aircraft are aware of each other, eitherusing separation or by passing traffic information.
