- Issuing clearances for departing and arriving aircraft.
Wake Turbulence
- Wake turbulence is created by large or heavy aircraft.
- An 'H' preceding the aircraft type on the flight strip indicates an aircraft capable of creating wake turbulence.
- The primary responsibility of the pilot in relation to wake turbulence is to maintain safe separation from preceding aircraft.
- The appropriate action for aircraft departing behind a large or heavy jet to avoid wake turbulence is to maintain a safe distance.
Aircraft Separation
- Controllers in a VFR tower are responsible for maintaining visual separation between aircraft.
- Anticipated separation in the context of air traffic control refers to the predicted safe separation between aircraft.
Departure Area
- The departure area is the airspace in which departing aircraft are cleared for departure.
- The primary purpose of the departure area is to ensure safe separation of departing aircraft.
- The local controller is responsible for managing the departure area and advising departing pilots to contact the departure controller.
- Facility directives affect the shape of the departure area and require local controllers to take specific actions regarding departing aircraft.
