German term or phrase: Kontrollkanzel
Zusätzlich zu den eingeschränkten Sichtverhältnissen, die sich durch die entsprechenden Wetterlagen ergeben, kann es aus den Kontrollkanzeln der Vorfeldkontrollen, bedingt durch deren Höhe über Bodenni¬veau zu unterschiedlichen Sichtweiten auf den Vorfeldern kommen.

English translation:Turret of the [air traffic] control tower
Explanation:
Ich würde in diesem Fall den Begriff des "turret" wählen, da das eigentlich auch naheliegende "dome" auch in anderem Zusammenhang in der Architektur verwendet wird.

agree  Clive Phillips: Yes, this is specifically about traffic control on aprons/ramps, some of which may be "invisible" in terms of the controllers' line of sight.

  -> Thank you for the agree. Would be fine to be there now and help all the leisure travellers launching their vacations :-)
disagree  RBell01: Although I like 'Turret' from a creative point of view, I prefer 'Dome', particularly since we are talking about a technical text here.

  -> Thank you for the disagree. Also have thought about dome but this is in my opinion a more general term. Would be fine if you could enter your solution as answer. So colleagues can vote and I will gain knowledge :-)
