A combined radar approach control and tower with radar facility is an air traffic control terminal that provides radar control to aircraft arriving to and departing from the primary airport and adjacent airports and to aircraft transiting in the terminals airspace. The terminal is divided into two separate functional areas radar approach control positions and tower positions. Radar approach control positions provide radar control service to aircraft arriving in, departing from, or transiting in airspace controlled by the facility, while tower positions control air traffic on the surface of airports by giving pilots taxiing and take-off instructions, issuing air traffic clearances, and providing separation between landing and departing aircraft. These two areas are located within the same facility or in close proximity to one another, and controllers rotate between both areas. As of January 2006, FAA operated 138 combined radar approach control and tower with radar facilities.
