Q

What does ATSU mean? and what comes under ATSU?

A

Air Traffic Service Units - under which you have

ATCU - Air Traffic Control Unit

  • Aerodrome Control
  • Approach Control
  • Area Control

AFIS - Aerodrome Flight Information Service (cannot give you control in the air, but can on the ground)

RADIO - Just information that they know (cannot give you control)

Q

If traffic demand exceeds, or is anticipated to exceed, the capacity of a particular sector or aerodrome, what happens?

A
  1. The ATCU responsible for that airspace shall advise the ATFM unit and other ATCUs concerned.
  2. As soon as practicable, flight crews and operators of aircraft planned to fly in the affected area should be advised of flow restrictions.
