MULTIPLE MODE OF OPERATION

When performing ‘multiple mode of operation’ (defined and described in the EASA ‘Guidance Material on remote aerodrome air traffic services’ — Issue 2), in addition to GM3 ATCO.D.060(c), the following items should also be considered:

—             Use of communication facilities (e.g. aeronautical mobile service, aeronautical fixed service and surface movement control service) for simultaneous provision of air traffic services in geographically separated areas of responsibility

—             Applicable procedures for traffic management, such as traffic prioritisation, enabling multiple mode of operation

—             Procedures for prioritising between aerodromes

—             Procedures for the transferring/merging/splitting of aerodromes in an RTM (defined in the EASA ‘Guidance Material on remote aerodrome air traffic services’ — Issue 2)

—             Different weather and light conditions at different aerodromes

—             Human capabilities/limitations with regard to the simultaneous handling of more than one aerodrome and distribution of attention
