Operating Modes

Three Views for Every Position

VATDS adapts to your control position with specialized views for Tower, TRACON, and Enroute operations.

Tower View

5nm radius coverage with runway estimation, gate labels, and departure sequencing for local control.

  • Runway lineup detection
  • Gate/ramp position labels
  • Ground stop TMI support

TRACON View

50nm range with multi-airport support, arrival sequencing timeline, and approach spacing tools.

  • Miles in trail analysis
  • Fix balancing support
  • Speed recommendations

Enroute View

ARTCC-wide coverage with sector boundaries, time-based metering, and airspace flow programs.

  • Sector boundary display
  • Holding pattern support
  • 5nm separation standards
Enroute Mode

Center-Wide Awareness

ARTCC-wide view with sector boundaries, airspace flow programs, and time-based metering support. Monitor traffic across your entire center from a single unified display.
