• Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.

• Issuing landing and takeoff authorizations or instructions.
• Monitoring or directing the movement of aircraft within an assigned air space or on the ground at airports for minimizing delays and maximizing safety.
• Monitoring aircraft within a specific airspace, using radar, computer equipment, or visual references.

• Providing flight path changes or directions to emergency landing fields for pilots traveling in bad weather or in emergency situations.
• Alerting airport emergency services in cases of emergency or when aircraft are experiencing difficulties.
• Directing pilots to runways when space is available or directing them for maintaining a traffic pattern until there is space for them to land.
