control tower
- Definição1
- A terminal facility that uses air/ground communications, visual signaling, and other devices to provide ATC services to aircraft operating in the vicinity of the airport or on the movement area. Tower controllers authorize aircraft to land or takeoff at the airport or to transit the Class D airspace regardless of flight plan or weather conditions. A tower may also provide approach control services.
