This report presents the results of interviews conducted with airport management and FAA tower personnel during a survey of nine U.S. airports. This survey was conducted in December 1971 and January 1972 as part of a nationwide Airport Ground Traffic Control (AGTC) requirement study. The AGTC System is defined as the system responsible for active runway control, taxiway control and ramp control between the terminal facilities and the taxiways. This report is made up of the informal notes taken during each interview or generated shortly thereafter, and of a composite summary of the views expressed during the survey.
