Coordination Tower / Ground

Already between tower and ground, in many situations communication and coordination are indispensable for smooth, safe and efficient traffic handling.

Even though most standard operations are regulated in the form of SOPs, there are many situations that require coordination between two ATC stations.

Examples for coordination tower / approach:

Examples of coordination between tower and ground / apron:

In contrast to many coodrinations between approach and center, there generally is no standard phraseology for coordination in the tower area. Therefore, normal "plain language" should be used when coordinating with the neighboring ATC unit. However, it should be noted that this station may be very busy with pilots. Therefore, you should not just start talking and also should keep your inquiries as short as possible.

Examples:

T: Approach, Tower
A: Go ahead
T: DLH4MA can't fly SIDs and has to go to CINDY, which vectored departure should I give him?
A: Climb on runway track to 4000 feet, thereafter expect radar vectors
T: Consider
T: Apron, Tower 
A: Go ahead
T: CFG2228 taxied wrong, coming via M30 instead of M8
A: Roger
