  • “Base Operations” at military airfields provide these services

Control Tower

  • Responsible for the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of traffic operating on an din the vicinity of an airport
  • three frequencies:
    • Clearance Delivery: relays IFR clearances
    • Ground: aircraft movement on the ground
    • Tower: clearance to takeoff and land

Approach Control (APC)

  • primary function is to control Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) traffic in the terminal area

Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) “Center”

  • controls IFR traffic enroute (i.e. IFR traffic that is between terminal areas)
