Aerodrome Control Operations and Procedures within Zagreb CTR

Aerodromski kontrolni toranj Zagreb pruža usluge aerodromske kontrole zračnog prometa unutar kontrolirane zone (Controle Zone – CTR) Zagreb te na manevarskim površinama Zračne luke Zagreb. Izdaju odobrenja i informacije pilotima zrakoplova pod svojom nadležnošću s ciljem postizanja sigurnog, redovitog i učinkovitog protoka zračnog prometa. Utvrđuju prometnu situaciju na temelju obrazaca za praćenje napredovanja leta (papirnatih stripova s podacima iz planova leta), radio-telefonske komunikacije i koordinacije s ostalim jedinicama. Istovremeno kontroliraju dolazne i odlazne zrakoplove civilnih i vojnih korisnika imajući na raspolaganju jednu uzletno-sletnu stazu te se zbog toga svakodnevno susreću s problematikom većeg broja operacija uz ograničeni kapacitet uzletno-sletne staze. Jedna uzletno-sletna staza je ograničavajući faktor prilikom povećanja prometne potražnje.Aerodrome control tower Zagreb is providing aerodrome control service within CTR Zagreb and at maneuvering areas of Zagreb International Airport. The tower is issuing clearances and information to the pilots under its jurisdiction with the objective of contributing safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic. They are determing the situation based on paper strips (flight plans), radio-telephony communication and coordination with other units. Simultaneously they are controlling departing and arriving civil and military aircraft relying on the one runway. Due to restricted capacity of the runway they are unable to answer expanding traffic demands and they are facing those issues on daily basis
