Digital Towers Enhance Air Traffic Control In Florida And Alaska
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has begun operating digital air traffic control towers at two US airports, using cameras and electronic displays to help controllers monitor aircraft movements and activity around the airfield. The systems are now operational at Bartow Executive Airport in Florida and Kenai Municipal Airport in Alaska. According to the FAA, these are the first digital towers operating in the United States. The FAA plans to install digital tower systems at five additional airports, as reported by Military Aerospace.
