Citation preview
Purpose of ATC tower1. To provide aerodrome control service.• To separate all traffic using runways for takeoff and
landing.
• To provide Surface movement control
2. To increase flow efficiency of air traffic at airports so can avoid the flight delay.
Air Traffic Control Services
• ATC providing safe operating conditions for aircraft and passengers
• Control the airport operating services and the airspace within a 5 to 10 km radius of the airport
• Deal with airport operations staff for the airport surfaces and equipment maintenance (snow removal, ice control, airport lighting, etc)
• Deal with airport emergency plans (aircraft crash, bomb threat, hi-jacking, etc.)

Flight Profile
• Every aircraft that flies follows a similar flight pattern that begins before takeoff and ends after landing.
• This pattern is called a flight profile. • A typical commercial flight profile has 7 phases. • Each phase of a typical flight profile is monitored by an air
traffic control facility with its own group of controllers. • Each of these controllers follows specific rules and procedures
while directing flights through designated airways. • They monitor the flight using special equipment and decision
support tools (computers) that ensure a safe and efficient flight.
7 Flight Profile• Step 1- Preflight: Pilot files the flight plan & send to the Tower controller. Tower inform pilot the
weather information. Flight checks, push-back from the gate & taxi to the runway.
• Step 2- Take-off: Tower controller gives pilot clearance for take-off, aircraft powers up & take-off.
• Step 3- Departure: Aircraft climbs to a define altitude Tower controller pass their communication with pilot to the Departure Controller. Pilot receives clearance for routing.
7 Flight Profile• Step 4- En-route: Communication with the pilot then pass to
the Air Route Controller. Air route controller instructing pilot to the specific altitude and heading.
• Step 5- Descent: Near airport Approach Controller instructing pilot to descent & change heading.
• Step 6- Approach: Pilot receives approach clearance & the then communication with pilot is passed to the Tower Controller.
• Step 7- Landing: Local controller at tower gives clearance for landing. Ground controller directs the pilot across the taxiways to its destination gate at the terminal.
