This guide is intended to provide new approach controllers with an easy introduction to the subject. It contains the basic principles and important tips for establishing sequences on the final approach. Detailed knowledge of the articles "Radar vectors" and "S...

Segment of an instrument approach Arrival Segment: This segment represents a transition from the enroute phase to the approach phase of the flight. Initial Approach Segment: This segment begins with the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) and ends at the Intermed...

Wirbelschleppen (Englisch: wake turbulence): schon wieder so ein abstrakter neuer Begriff. In diesem Video wird erklärt, was man sich unter Wirbelschleppen vorstellt und wie diese entstehen. Und was haben Fluglotsen damit zu tun? Wir müssen sicherstellen, das...

Wake turbulence: yet another abstract new term. This video explains what wake vortices are and how they arise. And what do air traffic controllers have to do with it? We have to make sure that accidents like the one shown in the video in New York don't happen...

Bei der Verfahrensstaffelung (auch prozedurale Staffelung genannt) können sich zwei Luftfahrzeuge unter bestimmten Umständen näher als die bei der Radarstaffelung notwendigen 3 NM kommen. Bei folgenden Beispielen wird Verfahrensstaffelung genutzt: Unabhängig...

With procedural separation, two aircraft can fall below the 3 NM required for radar separation under certain circumstances . Procedural separation is used in the following examples: Independent parallel approaches (IPA) In Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, unde...

Unlike tower controllers, radar controllers cannot look out of the window to provide air traffic services. They have to rely on data collected by so-called surveillance systems. Examples of these systems are primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surve...
