How does Tracon work?
An airplane’s transponder transmits flight data to incoming radar signals. The departure controller is located in the TRACON facility, which may have several airports within its airspace (50-mile/80-km radius). He or she uses radar to monitor the aircraft and must maintain safe distances between ascending aircraft.
Where is Tracon New York?
Westbury, New
The New York Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) is located in Westbury, New York, on Long Island. New York TRACON, also known as N90, is a consolidated TRACON, meaning that a single location provides approach service for several large airports.
How do you find the approach frequency?
In the United States, you can consult the VFR Sectional Chart and look for the frequency box located near a terminal area. Otherwise you’ll need to consult the Airport Facility Directory for the region your are flying to find a ARTCC (Center) frequency.
What is Area Controller?
Area controllers are responsible for the safety of aircraft at higher altitudes, in the en-route phase of their flight surrounding busier airports and airspace. Area controllers are responsible for specific sectors of 3D blocks of airspace with defined dimensions.
What does Tracon mean?
Terminal Radar Approach Control
Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) controls aircraft from the terminal to en-route traffic control to one or more airfields. Typically controls aircraft approaching and departing between 5 and 50 miles of the airport.
What is Artcc?
Air Route Traffic Control Centers ( ARTCC ), also referred to as “centers,” are established primarily to provide air traffic services to aircraft operating on an Instrument Flight Rule ( IFR ) Flight Plan within controlled airspace. This service is provided principally during the en route phase.
