[@rnzoli]

I noticed that your phraseology is "runway 11/29 (is) free" (instead of "cleared to land" and "cleared for takeoff" ) both at landing and at departure, so you are working in the tower as an AFISO (aerodrome flight information service officer). This explains how you are even allowed to do all that stuff. Some AFISO''s I met even handle payments for landing fees, fuel, parking etc. I love these regional airports, where big jets and smaller aircraft mix (I fly the small ones). And whenever I have the chance, I like to meet people in the tower and have a great respect for the really few ground personnel as well, for their versatility and cooperation with us.

[@this_sabby]

Never knew about this, thanks mate! Im an avgeek, smarter everyday!!

[@Galastin]

I assume this has something to do with level of responsibility? Like, he is there to inform on conditions but the pilot is responsible for all movement of the aircraft. Hence, he is not actually "controlling" or ordering the pilot to do anything.

[@WhenTheTucker]

@@Galastinbasically. The airport at Catalina Island in California basically operates like this. They’re a private airport but allow anyone to come in (provided you can land).

[@ekpq53]

Then you're going to love SGAS. At that airport, C-150s and other medium-sized planes land among B747s and 787s, not to mention that a military squadron of at least 3 planes had just taken off a few meters from where helicopters are taking off, haha. All this while on the active runway, a C152 is practicing touch-and-goes... and I almost forgot about the other one that's doing a 360, waiting for its turn to land, which is also in training. Those controllers are masters.

[@rnzoli]

@@Galastin yes, the main dividing line between air traffic "control" service and "information" service is the responsibility of aircraft SEPARATION, i.e., preventing them from mid-air collisions. With "control service", the air traffic controller is responsible for the separation, with "information" service, the pilots are responsible to separate themselves from each other visually. (Mind you, this is a very rough explanation, there are different levels of control and information services provided in airspace classes from A to F.) But it doesn't mean "information" can be disregarded in a negligent manner, because the air law often require pilots to make certain decisions and actions based on the information (e.g., not to conduct 2 instrument approaches in low visibility weather simultaneously).

[@andrewjones-productions]

Good grief, is there anything this very capable young man can't do? He's practically running the airport all by himself! Everything from moving an aeroplane with a tractor to being the airport ATC! I am very, very impressed!

Nice Work Mattias, thank you for sharing this insight into near artic General Aviaton, ATC and airport maintenance circumstances. Worked as an KLM Avionics Technician @Schiphol in the Netherlands and saw the snowfleet(sneeuw vloot) in action, they do the same you did clearing the runway only with multiple snowploughs and similar equipment. Very impressive and an overall demanding job since here it requires extra work for people working "normal" Airport jobs on and around the airfield and its adjacent buildings and processes.

I was a Navy electrician over 40 years ago. I remember doing exactly the same kind of troubleshooting while chasing down electrical faults. Oddly enough, the flight deck lighting always worked flawlessly. Two memorable occasions stick with me. One time was in the fire room on top of a main boiler. It was probably 140 °F. We could only work there for 5 minutes at a time. It seemed as if I had to drink my own body weight of water afterwards. The other time was in the Aleutian Islands in January working aloft on the running lights while it was around -20 °F. Now I am an old man and I get mad if it's not within 2 degrees of 72.
