Sec. 87.417 Scope of service.
(a) Airport control tower stations (control towers) and control tower remote
communications outlet stations (RCOs) must limit their communications to the
necessities of safe and expeditious operations of aircraft operating on or
in the vicinity of the airport. Control towers and RCOs provide air traffic
control services to aircraft landing, taking off and taxing on the airport
as well as aircraft transiting the airport traffic area. Additionally,
control towers and RCOs can provide air traffic control services to vehicles
operating on airport movement areas (see subpart L of this part). Control
towers and RCOs must serve all aircraft without discrimination. An RCO must
be remotely operated from a control tower or other FAA control facility
located at a nearby airport.
(b) A control tower must maintain a continuous watch on the following
frequencies during the hours of operation:
121.500 MHz
3023.0 kHz (Alaska only)
5680.0 kHz (Alaska only)
The Commission may exempt from these watch requirements the licensee of an
airport control tower station if a satisfactory showing has been made that
such an exemption will not adversely affect life and property in the air.
