Arrival frequency
Hi all
Have recently sat ATPL IFR Comms exam and got slightly confused with the different controller designators for approach services.
The way I understood it was:
Approach - deals with getting you from airway onto initial approach
Director (if applicable) - seperates traffic just before and on final approach/ILS
Tower - clears you to land/take-off etc.
However the notes I have been learning from mention Radar, Approach, Arrival, Tower. No-one else on my course had ever heard of anyone calling xxx Arrival. Is Arrival the ICAO equivalent of Director or something else entirely??
