1. A computing device for air traffic control (ATC) flight management, comprising:
a memory;
a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to cause the processor to:
receive airport information associated with an airport;
generate, using the airport information, an ATC flight management analysis, wherein the ATC flight management analysis includes:
an airport map showing locations of aircraft at the airport; and
a card panel including a number of flight cards, wherein each respective one of the number of flight cards corresponds to a different respective one of the aircraft at the airport;
generate, using the airport information, an airport environmental information window to display environmental information at the airport, wherein the environmental information includes:
a temperature at the airport;
a dew point at the airport; and
an atmospheric pressure at the airport;
receive a selection of an aircraft icon corresponding to an aircraft of the aircraft at the airport on the airport map;
generate, in response to a user input selecting way-points on the airport map, an initial ground taxi route corresponding to the selected way-points for the aircraft corresponding to the selected aircraft icon;
generate an airport operating mode control window including operation mode toggles and lighting control toggles, wherein:
the operation mode toggles include a recommended airport mode of operation and aircraft traffic at the airport an ATC controller is responsible for; and
the lighting control toggles include airport ground lighting control settings;
toggle the aircraft traffic at the airport the ATC controller is responsible for by transferring from control of a first sub-group of the aircraft at the airport to control of a second sub-group of the aircraft at the airport;
modify the airport ground lighting control settings; and
a user interface configured to display the ATC flight management analysis and the airport operating mode control window in a single integrated display.
