controlled aerodrome

The airport does not have radar, nor is it a radio controlled aerodrome.

Tauranga Airport is a controlled aerodrome, offering excellent experience for students flying in controlled airspace, and of course added safety.

The traffic information zone is equivalent to the controlled aerodromes CTR - control zone.

CONTROL ZONE: A Control Zone is controlled airspace which goes down to ground level, surrounding a controlled aerodrome.

Above the TIZ most AFIS aerodromes have a TIA - Traffic Information Area equivalent to the controlled aerodromes TMA.

Toowoomba Aerodrome does not have a control tower, however the airfield is regulated and operated under Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulations of aviation operations at non-tower controlled aerodromes.

If a registered civil or ultralight aircraft crashes away from a controlled aerodrome or is reported missing, Australian Search and Rescue [AusSAR] has national responsibility for coordinating the search and rescue.

From 18 November 2010 Broome International became a Class D non-radar controlled aerodrome which means that aircraft are separated by air traffic controllers based on estimates provided by pilots and reporting their distances and altitudes from the airfield.

FISOs most usually work in an aerodrome control tower, providing a flight information service to aircraft in the local area, and on the ground, and therefore require similar equipment and commanding views of an air traffic control tower at a quiet controlled aerodrome.
