Three disciplines exist in Air Traffic Control: Aerodrome, Approach and Area.
- Aerodrome controllers manage traffic on the ground and in the immediate vicinity of an airport.
- Approach controllers manage traffic arriving and departing at those airports.
- Area controllers manage traffic flying enroute, away from airfields.
In reality, these positions are always manned by separate controllers. On IVAO, however, they are often combined under the services of a single controller which can make opening an Approach or Area sector extremely challenging.
