Airport Movement Area Control Operational Concept

Abstract

This concept of operations is one of a set that in total will describe the operation on the National Airspace System (NAS) when the projected upgrades are completed. As described in time National Airspace System Requirements Specification (NASSRS), Airport Movement Area Control involves the control and separation of aircraft and vehicles on the movement areas of qualifying aerodromes in all weather conditions, and includes the separation of aircraft from obstructions. This document describes specialists' functions necessary for the control of the airport movement area, most importantly, determining the identity and location of vehicles and aircraft on the movement area. This operational concept also describes interactions and information passed between the user, specialists, and NAS subsystems involved with airport movement area control in order to provide a common perspective for those engaged in this control.
