Introduction of ATC and working Position

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 Area 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 Enviroment there are CDC,GMC,AMC,ZNC and FIS. The normal Flow of an Aircraft Operation from Push Back to Take off is as follows:

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

Planner (PLE)

Positions	Frequency (MHz)
CDC	122.15
GMN	121.6
GMS	122.55
AMN	118.2
AMS	118.4
ZNC	120.6
FIS	121.0
DEP	123.8
DEH	122.0
APP	119.1
FAD	119.5

Note:

• CDC was using 121.9 recently Changed AIP SUPP 13/20
• ATC Frequencies
  • For Enroute (HKAIP ENR 6.7 Hong Kong ATC Sector Boundaries Chart)
  • For Aerodrome (HKAIP AD 2.18 ATS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES)
