How do pilots receive radar advisories during simultaneous approaches?

During simultaneous approaches, pilots receive radar advisories primarily on the tower frequency. This operational procedure is integral for maintaining situational awareness and ensuring safe separation between aircraft during landing sequences. The tower controller has a comprehensive view of the airfield and is responsible for coordinating the final approach and landing of multiple aircraft safely.

Using the tower frequency allows the controller to provide timely updates and instructions to pilots, such as adjustments in approach angles, sequencing orders, and any immediate concerns regarding airspace or runway conditions. Communication on this frequency helps streamline operations, as both the tower and pilots can engage in direct dialogue regarding the landing procedures.

In contrast, while approach control is typically involved in managing aircraft during the en route phase and could assist before they transition to the final approach, the tower takes over once aircraft are near the airport. Choice of frequencies is critical, as using the designated tower frequency enhances the ability to manage simultaneous approaches effectively.
