aircraft during Case II/III recoveries. Duties and responsibilities include:
Maintaining separation and ensure safety of flight
Reviewing the Master Air Plan
Evaluating system/equipment/communication status
Reviewing marshal area for potential conflicts
Identifying all airspace constraints that may/will affect recovery operations
Coordinating with AATCC Supervisor for case recovery, expected BRC,
expected marshal radial for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, expected final
bearing, expected type of approach, Charlie time, first push time, etc
Ensuring AATCC Recovery (Marshal) Board is accurate and complete
Initiating and/or accepting RADAR handoffs from other control positions/agencies
Providing inbound flights with arrival information and assistance, if required.
Obtain load reports. Issue marshal instructions and clearances as required.
Monitoring aircraft adherence to marshal instructions and provide control

Approach Control
Approach Control is responsible for controlling inbound aircraft from marshal/TACC until
handoff to Final Control, or PriFly. Approach Control establishes the interval for aircraft
on final approach. Duties and responsibilities include:
Maintaining separation and ensuring safety of flight
Reviewing the Master Air Plan
Evaluating system/equipment/communication status
Reviewing approach area for potential conflicts. Identifying all airspace
constraints that may/will affect recovery operations
Coordinating with AATCC Supervisor for case recovery, expected BRC,
expected marshal radial for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, expected type of
approach, Charlie time, first push time, etc.
During Case II/III recoveries, provide positive control for all traffic
Broadcasting changes of the BRC and other pertinent recovery information
Ensuring AATCC Recovery (Approach) Board is accurate and complete
