are used during low visibility procedures and to enhance the provision of an
aerodrome control service in areas outside visual surveillance.
The Ground Movement Surveillance Control endorsement will only be granted to
a controller who holds a Tower Control or Ground Movement Control
endorsement. (See Figure 5).
d) Air Control (AIR)
Where the Aerodrome Control task is differentiated into Ground Movement Control (GMC) and Air Control (AIR), the Air Control endorsement entitles the holder to provide the ATC services associated with Air Control.
NOTE: In the UK it is not permitted for controllers to hold only a Ground Movement Control or Air Control rating endorsement. At aerodrome control units where the aerodrome control service is differentiated into air control and ground movement control, unit endorsements associated with these rating endorsements must be gained simultaneously.
e) Aerodrome Radar (RAD) Control The Aerodrome Radar (RAD) rating endorsement recognises that radar is playing an increasing role in the provision of aerodrome control. The Aerodrome Radar
Control rating endorsement entitles the holder to use radar in the provision of an
aerodrome control service.
The Aerodrome Radar Control rating endorsement will only be issued at units
approved by the CAA where controllers use the Aerodrome Traffic Monitor to its
full extent as notified in the Manual of Air Traffic Services Part 1.
The unit MATS Part 2 will define the airspace within which this service may be
provided.
The Aerodrome Radar Control endorsement shall not permit the aerodrome
controller to use the surveillance radar equipment in any way that will detract from
the primary task of providing an aerodrome control service by visual observation of
aerodrome traffic.
The Aerodrome Radar Control rating endorsement will only be granted to a
controller who holds either a Tower Control or an Air Control rating endorsement.
(See Figure 5).
