Q

What are the Control Requirements of Aerodrome Controllers?

A

Aerodrome controllers shall issue clearances, instructions and information to aircraft under their control to achieve a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic on and in the vicinity of an aerodrome with the objective of preventing collisions between:
- aircraft flying within the designated area of responsibility of the tower, including the circuit
- aircraft landing and taking off
- aircraft operating on the manoeuvring area
- aircraft, vehicles and personnel operating on the maneuvering area
- aircraft on the maneuvering area and obstruction on that area

  • the contrast formed by an aircraft and its background
  • glare from the sun
  • restricted visibility caused by haze or other conditions
