Introduction

The Hong Kong Air Traffic Controllers are usually divided into Two Types which are Radar or Non-Radar Controllers. Controllers are either Tower Controllers or Radar Controllers.

  1. Tower Controllers
  2. Radar Controllers.

Radar Controllers include Departures, Approach, Terminal, and Enroute Radar Positions

The Three Main Streams are:

  1. Tower Stream
  2. Approach Stream
  3. Enroute Stream

These terminologies will be further discussed in the SPRAT course regarding their Areas of Responsibility (AOR)

ATC Working Positions

Air traffic controllers in Hong Kong work in a team and their Position can mainly be divided into Tower Controllers and Radar Controllers. In the Aerodrome Tower Environment, there are CDC,GMC,AMC,ZNC and FIS. The normal Flow of an Aircraft Departs from an Aerodrome and Land in an Aerodrome is as follows: This is an example of an aircraft departing VHHH

  1. Aircraft Contacts CDC for IFR clearance
  2. Aircraft Contacts GMC for Push back and Taxi clearance
  3. Aircraft Contacts AMC for Take off Clearance
  4. Aircraft Contacts DEP for Radar Services which includes Radar Identification and a Higher Altitude
  5. Aircraft Contacts EE for Radar Services, Higher Altitude and for radar separation if required
Flow of Handling Outbound Flights

This is an example of an aircraft arriving VHHH from RCAA (Taiwan FIR)

Flow of Handling Inbound Flights
  1. Aircraft Contacts EE for Radar Identification, STAR clearance
  2. Aircraft Contacts TMC for Flow control, Holding Patterns as aircraft approaches Hong Kong
  3. Aircraft Contacts APP for Sequencing, Radar Separation, Fine Speed Control, and Vectoring as Aircraft Enters APP airspace.
  4. Aircraft Contacts FAD during 0200-1000, For Finer Sequence inside the Corridor of the APP Path
  5. Aircraft Contacts AMC for Clearance to Land
  6. Aircraft Contacts GMC for Clearance to taxi to Bay

    • For Aerodrome (HKAIP AD 2.18 ATS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES)

Air Traffic Management (ATM) and scopes

Atm-scope.png

The objectives of ATS, as stated in ICAO Annex 11, are to

  1. prevent collisions between aircraft;
  2. prevent collisions between aircraft on the maneuvering area and obstructions on that area; note that this objective does not include the apron and ATS in general is not intended to prevent collision with terrain.
  3. expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic;
  4. provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights;
  5. notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid and assist such organizations as required.


Air Traffic Control Service to accomplish objectives 1, 2 & 3 above and this service is divided into: 

a.	Area control service for objectives 1 & 3.
b.	Approach control service for objectives 1 & 3.
c.	Aerodrome control service for objectives 1, 2 & 3.

Flight Information Service to accomplish objective 4 above. Alerting Service to accomplish objective 5 above.


The air traffic control (ATC) service is established to accomplish the first three objectives. While the first and third are universally applicable to all ATC units, the second one is only relevant to aerodrome control units. The fourth objective is covered by the flight information service (FIS) and the last one is the alerting service.

The advisory service has no specific objectives defined. It is considered a temporary measure to facilitate the smoother transition from FIS to ATC.

Air Traffic Management is the aggregation of the airborne and ground-based functions required to ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircraft during all phases of operations to enable aircraft operators to meet their planned times of departure and arrival and adhere to their preferred flight profiles with minimum constraints and without compromising agreed levels of safety.

Air Traffic Services (ATS), A generic term meaning air traffic control service which includes : 

 area control service
 approach control service and
 aerodrome control service
 air traffic advisory service   
 flight information service 
 alerting service

Divisions of Airspace

Hong Kong's Division of Airspace in general divides into East, South, West Sector. The General Radar Sector Area and Vertical Limits are displayed in the diagram The detailed Areas-of-Responsibility that will be discussed in later chapters.
