Air route traffic control centers. Retrieved from http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/artcc/〕 FAA Area Control Centers located at 1850 S. Sigsbee St. Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.〔StuckMic.com. (2012). Indiana Center/EnRoute Facility Locations - Contact Information. http://www.stuckmic.com/atc-facility-directory/indiana-centerenroute-facilities-94/〕 The primary responsibility of Indianapolis Center is sequencing and separation of over-flights, arrivals, and departures in order to provide safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of aircraft filed under instrument flight rules (IFR). Indianapolis Center is the 12th busiest ARTCC in the United States. Between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, Indianapolis Center handled 1,922,383 aircraft operations.〔Federal Aviation Administration. (2013). Air Traffic Activity System (ATADS). Retrieved from http://aspm.faa.gov/opsnet/sys/Center.asp〕 Indianapolis Center covers approximately 73,000 square miles〔 FAA. Department of Transportation. Facility orientation guide; Indianapolis ARTCC indianapolis, indiana. Retrieved from StuckMic.com FAA - Air Traffic Control Facility Orientation Guides. http://www.cdn.stuckmic.com/images/data/525/indianapolis.pdf〕 of the Midwestern United States, including parts of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee. Indianapolis Center lies adjacent to 6 different Air Route Traffic Control Centers, including Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center, Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center, Memphis Air Route Traffic Control Center, Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center, Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center, and Chicago Air Route Traffic Control Center. ZID overlies or abuts many approach control facilities (including, but not limited to, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Charleston). ==Popular Culture== Indianapolis Center is depicted in the second scene of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), in which an air traffic controller provides information and guidance to pilots of two passenger jets (Trans World Airlines, Allegheny Airlines and a fictional "Air East") who are en route through the ZID flight information region to avoid collisions with each other or with an unidentified "aircraft" that appears to have extremely bright anti-collision lights and is "exhibiting some non-ballistic motion." A supervisor orders another controller to "get on the horn with the '45th Recon Wing'" to find out if there is a test flight mission in "Restricted Area 2508." (The actual 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was based at Bergstrom Air Force Base in the mid 1970s, but was deactivated not long before the film's pre-production. The real Restricted Area 2508 is located in Southern California.) The scene concluded with a senior supervisor instructing the controller to ask the TWA and Air East pilots if they wish to officially report a UFO. Both pilots declined. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
