Concept of Operations
(Draft: Version 1.0 - April 7, 2020)
The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) describes how the FAA envisions that RTS will be used to provide air traffic control services in Class D airspace under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). In a nutshell, ATCT services will be provided from a Remote Tower Center (RTC) via a network of cameras, sensors, displays, and other supporting equipment. RTCs can be located on the airport, or off the airport in a geographically-remote location.
