2020年9月18日 · What is a TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach CONtrol)? A TRACON is a term used in the US for what is elsewhere known as the Terminal Control (ICAO terminology), the control in charge of operations around one or more large airports. It doesn't manage ATC at airports, which is provided by TOWERs. TRACON is therefore an intermediate step used for:

2021年4月23日 · I know that the ATC has feedback on the current position of the aircraft via Radar and ADS-B data. However, are there any tools to forecast future trajectories. For example, say an aircraft is scheduled to arrive at an airport and will reach within the coverage of the terminal airspace ATC in the next 5-10 minutes.

It is often desirable to call an FAA air traffic control (ATC) facility on the telephone: To ask a question about a "mark-the-tape" incident; To request a tour; To notify the facility of unregulated nearby operations like RC plane flying; How can one find the non-emergency telephone number for an ARTCC, TRACON, or control tower (ATCT)?

2021年4月18日 · $\begingroup$ Long ago, back in the mid 80s, I tried out for Canadian ATC and took an initial screening test that was a booklet with 25 diagrams representing displays, with airplanes and tracks and data tables, and you had to answer two multiple-guess questions about potential conflicts for each diagram. I didn't keep track of the time.

2021年8月30日 · In my experience at a TRACON in the United States: There are many different maps we can select, including no map (a blank scope). Which information is separable (i.e. on distinct maps) can vary by facility. In general order of importance, the maps can show: The sector boundaries, both with surrounding controls and the boundaries of internal ...

2021年7月21日 · It is a radar control position worked in the TRACON. As aircraft are transferred from the ARTCC to the Tracon, the Center (or Enroute) controller will tell them to contact the "Approach" controller. Everyone in the TRACON uses the callsign "Approach" (or "Departure"),* but the first person the pilot talks to in the TRACON will be the arrival ...

In general, flight following is provided by the nearest TRACON or ARTCC, so you can look in at least three places, two of which are maps: The VFR chart, if you're near a controlled field, which shows the TRACON frequencies; The IFR en route chart, which shows the ARTCC frequency for your general area even if you're not close to a controlled field

2017年4月24日 · If you're at an Tower/TRACON combined facility, you'll go through the Tower course in Oklahoma, and then go to your facility and get trained in the tower, once done there, you'll then be sent to Oklahoma again for the Radar course, and return to your facility for training in the TRACON. A career in the US ATC system is generally what you make it.

2018年4月12日 · A TRACON is an ATC facility usually associated with Class B airspace. Because the Class B airspace is so busy they usually have their own radar controllers instead of calling the tower directly or using ATC Center. The documents you referring too probably reference ATC procedures for incoming traffic rather than restrictions on pilots.
