§ 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.
