Figure 3. Air Traffic Control: a) overview of a large TRACON facility. Potomac is pictured. b) A
single ATC TRACON station. Beside the radar display is a stack of memory aid blocks when the
controller writes essential aircraft information - as long as there is a physical block to the right,
there should be a corresponding "blip" on the screen. c) TRACON display from Minneapolis-St. Paul.
On this display are aircraft under control (undesignated), as well as craft from 3 other controllers,
East (E), North (N), and Ground (G). Below each aircraft name is controller designation, altitude in
hundreds of feet, and airspeed in tens of knots.
