CHAPTER 4:APPROACH CONTROL
~~ WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THE APPROACH AREA??~~
Area over which landing and takeoff
operations are made
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~WHAT IS THE APPROACH CONTROLLERS??~~
~~The approach controller (APP) will guide the
traffic through the Terminal Control Area
(TMA). ~~
 TMA is a two or more airports are clustered together with
their control zones
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APP CONTROLLER
Important to know the different Standard Instrument
Departure (SID) routes and the appropriate arrival
procedures
2. Sequencing
3. To control the speed of the a/c

Chapter 4 – Approach Control
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APP CONTROLLER
1.
It is important to know the different Standard
Instrument Departure (SID) routes and the
appropriate arrival procedures.
~~The Approach Controller is responsible for all aircraft
within approximately 40nm of the airport, up to a
specified upper limit~~
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
2. A task so-called sequencing.
-Aircraft arrival procedures still need to be properly
separated from each other and in the end only one
could land at the time. So the distance on final approach
between landing aircraft should be as such that the first
landing aircraft has vacated the active runway
before the next landing one can receive a landing
clearance-
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
3. To control the speed of the a/c.
-Aircraft in approach will gradually slow down towards
the final landing speed. By allocating from the
beginning allocated speed to the traffic, you can control
the distance in between them much easier. Another
advantage of slow speed is that their turns will be
much shorter and easier. You could use this to let them
turn either for separation but as well for gaining or losing
distance between them.-
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~What is an Approach procedure?~~
~~Is a series of predetermined maneuvers based on flight
instruments. It normally starts at the initial approach fix
(IAF) towards a point from where a landing can be
completed. ~~
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
APPROACH CONTROL PROSEDUR
1. Co-ordination
2. Transfer of communication
3. Weather Information
4. Information to aircraft
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~Co-ordination~~
1.
Aircraft approaching to land; if necessary requesting
landing clearance arriving aircraft which are cleared to
visual holding points
2.
Aircraft routing through the traffic circuit.
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
APPROACH CONTROL PROSEDUR
1. Co-ordination
2. Transfer of communication
3. Weather Information
4. Information to aircraft
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~Transfer of communication~~
 Approach controller will establish the communication
when the aircraft has become number one to land.
 For following aircraft, when they are established on final
approach and have been provided with appropriate
separation.
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
APPROACH CONTROL PROSEDUR
1. Co-ordination
2. Transfer of communication
3. Weather Information
4. Information to aircraft
~~Weather Information~~
~~The Approach Controller shall transmit the latest
weather observations to aircraft on approach.~~
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
APPROACH CONTROL PROCEDUR
1. Co-ordination
2. Transfer of communication
3. Weather Information
4. Information to aircraft
~~Information to aircraft~~
On the final approach the pilot is to be advised that he will be radar
vectored to intercept the final approach :
1. Runway in use
2. Type of final approach
3. Procedure to be followed in the event of a radio comms fail
if it is not published
Aircraft receiving a surveillance radar approach shall be given:
1. angle of the descent path
2. radar termination range
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~What is a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) route?~~
~~The Standard instrument Departure route is a (published)
special route to be followed from departure towards the
SID point.~~
Or in other word:
~~a published navigational chart showing the route an
aircraft must take as it takes off and climbs away from an
airport~~
E.G:SIDS chart
 SIDs chart
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
Information in the SIDS chart:
A - Name of the facility and SID
B – Frequency of communication
C - Navigation aids
D-Minimum altitudes, distance , courses
E- Text description of the procedures and transitions
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
~~What the function of the SIDS??~~
are designed to separate departing traffic from
arrivals.
2. provide efficient interception of an outbound
course
3. avoid noise sensitive areas
4. simply the issuance of departure clearances
1.
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
 2 type basics of SIDS
Pilot navigation
~~where the pilot is primarily responsible for
navigation along the SID course
1.
2. Vector SIDS
~~where ATC will provide radar vectors to an
assigned route or fix
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
What is the Standard Instrument Arrival Route(STAR)?~~
~~A standard instrument arrival route
or STAR usually covers the phase of a
flight that lies between the top of
descent from cruise or en-route flight
and the final approach to a runway for
landing.~~
Chapter 4 – Approach Control
Holdings
 The main purpose of a holding:
1.
To regulate the traffic flow in congested areas. In
reality ATC will avoid holdings and only issue a holding
instruction if its use is inevitable.
2. Has 3 types : Direct entry , parallel entry & offset
entry
Q-bank
 Please state what the responsibility of the approach
control?
 What is the function of the holding?
 What are understand between SIDS and STAR?
 Please explain 2 approach procedure you know.
