Question For anyone Who Knows LACC well?

Doing a project for work and have looked everywhere for the answer to this wondered if anyone could help.

What operational functions are performed from the LACC Ops Room?
There are 5 spaces



Thanks for any help given

If you're at the college, pop into the library and open the LACC MATS Pt 2. It's all in the Gen section

Five alternatives could be:

1. Management baiting
2. Restaurant critiquing
3. Cherquing (sp?)
4. Procrastination
5. Being fine upstanding humans

I'm sure I read somewhere that they exercise positive control over aircraft from there too... But you know what these magazines are like!

Good luck with your project.

Thanks Pike - I couldn't decipher that particular piece of spelling, I thought it was a hobby specific to LACC
