Aerodrome Control Services provide Air Traffic Control Services for traffic within the aerodrome, with the exception of aircraft in the arrival or departure phase of their flight (which are controlled by the Approach Control Services). The Objective of the Aerodrome Control Services are the following (ICAO-ANNEX 11):
For the SSR, please refer to the SSR Code Allocations For RJJJ docuement.
The Delivery Clearance Position is connected as RJTT_DEL.
The Delivery Clearance Position is responsible for the following:
Note 1: If no Standard Instrument Departure is possible, the controller may invite the pilot to modify their flight plan or propose a multi-directional departure procedure negotiated with the approach (APP) or departure (DEP) controller
Note 2: In case the Ground Controller (GND) being subject to over-occupation, the Delivery Clearance Position (DEL), shall delay the the delivery of clearances, until the Ground Controller (GND) is able to manage the traffic
The Ground Controller is connected as RJTT_GND.
The Ground Controller is responsible for the following:
Note 1: In the case of a runway crossing, the controller will transfer the traffic to the Tower Controller (TWR) (or appropriate controlled), Nevertheless the Tower Controller (TWR) may instruct a runway crossing with the
Note 2: A monitor (or “Stand by For”) clearance can be given if the Tower Controller agrees. Some pilots will not know the difference between a monitor clearance and standard transfer, this is normal and the controller shall refrain from speaking “stiffly” to the pilot
Taxi routes for Departure are instructed by ATC using route names in the table below.

ARRIVAL |

TWY S-R-A |
Note 1: Alternative routing may be instructed by ATC as required
Note 2: Some pilots will not know these routes, in this case use standard phraseology.


Red: Terminal 1: Domestic (JAL, SKY)
Blue: Terminal 2: Domestic, some ANA Intl (ANA, ADO, SNJ)
Green: Terminal 3: International
Yellow: Maintenance Hangars
Light Grey: International Cargo
Dark Grey: Domestic Cargo
Purple: Coast Guard
Pink: Business Jet/GA parking
The Tower Controller is connected as RJTT_TWR.
The Tower Controller is responsible for the following:
Note 1: A Go-Around can be announced at any time by the pilots. ATC must issue a Go-Around clearance if there is an obstruction on the runway, when the aircraft is about to reach the runway threshold (2NM).
Here is an example of how to fill in the ATIS box:

There are three main runway configurations during the daytime (2100-1400z). If you need help determining which runway(s) to use, LiveATC & FlightRadar are useful tools to reference. For information regarding the types of approaches, check the Approach Control section.
The North Flow is the preferential runway configuration. The departure runways are 05 and 34R, and the arrival runways are 34L and 34R.
The West Flow is used most of the time when the prevailing winds are southerly. The exception is when the South Flow is in use (see below). The departure runways are 16L and 16R, and the arrival runways are 22 and 23.
The South Flow is used for roughly 3 hours between 0600z-1000z when the prevailing winds are southerly. The departure runways are 16L and 16R, and the arrival runways are 22 and 23.
At night time (1400z-2100z), a different configuration is used. During the night, specific restrictions are put in place for noise abatement. (Check noise abatement procedures below). The airport is very conveniently placed, allowing aircraft to enter and exit via the ‘gulf’ to the South of the airport. If you need help determining which runway(s) to use, LiveATC & FlightRadar are useful tools to reference.
The departure runway should be chosen from: 05, 16L, 16R, 34R or 04, in that order, wind abiding. For the arrival runway, when the prevailing winds are northerly, 34R or 34L should be used, in that order. When the prevailing winds are southern, 23, 16L or 22 should be used, in that order.
When RWY 34R/16L, 05, 16R, 04/22 is in use, departing aircraft may be instructed intersection departure from C2, C3, C13, D2, A15/L15, A14/L14, B2/T2 or B13 without pilot's consent. Aircraft unable to depart from C2, C3, C13, D2, A15/L15, A14/L14, B2/T2 or B13 intersections shall advise "TOKYO GROUND/TOWER" accordingly.
The remaining runway length for intersection departures are as follows:

In the North flow, runways 34L & 34R are in use - the preferred daytime runway configuration. The type of approach is determined based on the visibility. If in doubt, FlightRadar is useful to check what they are using IRL.

What is the HIGHWAY VISUAL 34R ?:
HIGHWAY VISUAL 34R is an approach method that requires a visual on the highway for approach. Therefore, the controller will need to follow the following procedures to issue a clearance for this approach. (C: Controller, P: Pilot)
1. C: ANA102, Expect HIGHWAY VISUAL RWY34R approach.
P: Expect HIGHWAY VISUAL RWY34R approach, ANA102.
When the aircraft approaches CREAM, CLOAK or CAMEL and has the highway in sight.
2. C: ANA102, Report highway in sight.
P: Highway in-sight, ANA102.
3. C: ANA102, Roger. Cleared HIGHWAY VISUAL RWY 34R approach.
P: Cleared HIGHWAY VISUAL RWY 34R approach, ANA102.
When the aircraft approaches CAMEL and does not have the highway in sight.
2. C: ANA102, Report highway in sight.
P: Highway not in sight, ANA102
3. C: ANA102, Roger. Fly heading xxx re-vectors for approach.
P: Fly heading xxx, ANA102.
If multiple pilots cannot see the highway in sight, the controller responsible may change the approach operations to the “North Wind Approaches (unclear skies)” instead.
In the West flow, runways 22 & 23 are in use - this configuration is most frequently used (or rather when the South flow is not in use) when the prevailing winds are southerly. The type of approach is determined based on the visibility. If in doubt, FlightRadar is a useful tool to check what they are using IRL.

The primary approach for runways 16L and 16R is the RNP approach. The ILS is very rarely used.
During the night, specific restrictions are put in place for noise abatement. The airport is very conveniently placed, allowing aircraft to enter and exit via the ‘gulf’ to the South of the airport.
The arrival runway should be determined based on the winds. When the prevailing winds are northerly, 34R or 34L should be used, in that order. When the prevailing winds are southern, 23, 16L or 22 should be used, in that order.
In the night flow, VP1 = N/A, VP2 = KAIHO
