GE + GW
GE + GW is the tower ground scope for EKCH_C_TWR (118.580), using the TWR aspect layout. It covers runway and taxi logic while coordinating with apron and delivery.
Strips live in bays that are ACTIVE or LOCKED. Use REQ where the bay allows; fully locked strip types cannot be requested.
Bay overview
Section titled “Bay overview”| Bay | Strip type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Messages | Messages | Coordination / free-text. |
| Final | TWR-ARR | Arrival finals — force assume gives GE+GW ownership. See TE + TW for detail. |
| RWY ARR | TWR-ARR | Runway arrival segment. Can be REQ. |
| TWY ARR | APN-ARR | Apron arrival taxi. Can be REQ. |
| Startup | APNPUSH | Cleared departures; labelled STARTUP-TWR. If any apron position is online, limited to stands G110–G137, W1, and AS; otherwise all stands. |
| Push back (TWR) | APNPUSH | Release / direction from the pushback map moves the strip here; opens the TWR taxi map. |
| TWY DEP (TWR) | TWR-DEP | Synced with apron TWY DEP-LWR; may use different strip designs. Can be REQ from TWY DEP-LWR. SI to next sector applies. |
| RWY DEP | TWR-DEP | Departures on the runway segment. |
| Airborne | TWR-DEP | After departure. |
| De-ice A | APNPUSH | Same strip family; mostly manual moves between active bays. |
| CLR DEL | (passive) | Passive if CLR DEL, DEL+SEQ, or SEQ PLN is online. |
| Stand | APN-ARR | Gate / stand; active. |
Departures
Section titled “Departures”Startup → Push back (TWR) via pushback map → TWY DEP (TWR) / De-ice A as needed. TWY DEP (TWR) and apron TWY DEP-LWR stay in sync; use SI and handoff rules per spec. RWY DEP and Airborne behaviour (including auto-move and SI) aligns with TE + TW.
Arrivals
Section titled “Arrivals”TWY ARR strips match other TWR scopes; SI splits follow system logic. Final and RWY ARR (TWR-ARR) landing workflow and runway colour rules are documented in TE + TW.
Uncleared strips
Section titled “Uncleared strips”All uncleared strips sit in CLR DEL (no airline split in this scope), with the same behaviour as CLR DEL.
