GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:
hora a la vista de la dependencia torre
English translation:
time at which (the aeroplane/flight XXYYYY) comes under control of the tower
Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / airports
Spanish term or phrase:hora a la vista de la dependencia torre
This appears in a list of "Hitos horarios de la operación de arribada por indicativo", between the items "ATRCM delay associated" and "ATA" (actual time of arrival), defined as "hora aterrizaje (paso por umbral)". It appears below another item I asked, "hora de paso por el último fijo". Since this is an airport manual, I'd prefer the stock phrase. TIA for any help.
Explanation: Last year I gave English classes in AENA, they are responsible for the engineering and technical support to the Controllers. In Seville the Controllers are in charge of the air space between airports for the whole of southern Spain (and I suppose Madrid/Barca covers the north). So even flights from Paris to Fez which cross Spain at some point are under the control of the Seville tower (which happens to house the local airport control tower as well - but in a different room!). Such flights are passed from regional control to regional control even though they may be a long distance from siad tower.
Hope this helps.
Thnx for the effort. Truth to tell, I've been with Aena 15 years now, through 2 expansions, new tower designs, and still running, but they never fail to surprise me. 2 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
However, for exact term, I'm still waiting for client confirmation. It just so happens that pilots and controllers speak a kind of Martian. BTW, "dependencia" here is the tower (as facility). As Jairo previously pointed out in my other Q, the Spanish can be reduced to very simple English expressions.
I think then, in accordance with your new ref., that my answer is more or less correct, it is the control between airports which is important, as you state "- whether or not it is landing. The purpose is always to maintain vertical clearance (between 2 planes) and emergency landing clearance (minimum altitude for landing given the weather conditions)."
In my answer note that "tower" is still the name given to the building which controls a regional airspace and not just an airport runway(s). Good luck
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_flight_rules : After ATFCM delay comes "over FAF" time and the time the plane starts flying VFR or IFR under supervision of the control tower - whether or not it is landing. The purpose is always to maintain vertical clearance and emergency landing clearance.
of things airports measure in order to determine QoS (quality of service) for ANSPs (Air Navigation Service Providers = mainly Controllers). It really is all I have.
Me da la impresión de que es la hora en que el controlador de la torre de control avistó a la aeronave que estaba en fase de aproximación a la pista, me da pena no poder ser de más utilidad pero el lenguaje en español es un tanto rebuscado
