SECTION 17 AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER SITING CRITERIA
B17-1 GENERAL INFORMATION. The air traffic control tower (ATCT) is the focal point for flight operations within the designated airspace of the installation and for
controlling aircraft and vehicles on the airport movement area. Locating and siting an ATCT is a complex procedure that involves many operational and technical requirements.
The tower cab must be correctly oriented. The area to be controlled must be visible from the cab. The air traffic controller must have proper depth perception of the area under surveillance, and there can be no electronic interference with equipment in the cab or with navigational equipment on the ground. For these considerations and other operational and technical aspects of selecting a site, consult Air Force Flight Standards Agency, Engineering and Systems Integration Branch (HQ AFFSA/A3/8, 7919 Mid-America Blvd, Suite 300, Oklahoma City, OK, in the early stages of planning. A site survey will be conducted to determine the best siting for the proposed ATCT. For accurate planning and design considerations, the site survey should be conducted within five years of the
projected ATCT construction completion date. More specific architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical systems design requirements may be found in the Air Traffic Control Tower and Radar Approach Control Facility Design Guide published by the Design Group Division at Headquarters, Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (HQ AFCEE/DCD). For Navy air traffic control design criteria, see UFC 4- 133-01N.
B17-2 SITING CRITERIA. ATCT siting and height determination require sound engineering principles and close coordination with the host base. Siting project engineers must consider factors that relate to the economics of each candidate site, such as
accessibility to utilities, subsoil and ground water conditions, expansion possibilities, as well as selecting a site requiring a tower of the minimum height necessary to meet the specific requirements. The following specific guidelines must be followed:
B17-2.1 Unobstructed View . The air traffic controllers operating this facility must have a clear, unobstructed, and direct view to all operating positions of the airport traffic area; to the approach end of the primary instrument runway; and all other active
runways, taxiways, parking aprons, test pads, and similar areas. The tower should be located close to runway midpoints and equidistant from other airfield areas to the greatest extent possible.
B17-2.2 Site Area Requirements . The site must provide sufficient area to
accommodate the initial building and any planned expansions, including vehicle parking, fuel storage tanks, and exterior transformers.
B17-2.3 Quantity Distance Criteria . Siting of the ATCT must meet explosives separation distance criteria in AFMAN 91-201.
B17-2.4 Obstruction Clearance . As a minimum, the site must conform to ground system and obstruction clearance criteria for Category II Instrument Landing Operations (see FAA Handbook [FAAH] 7110.65 and AFI 11-230).
