Approach control can be situated at the aerodrome or at some other site. Normally, if there are two aerodromes in the vicinity, there will be one approach control unit to cover them both. The approach controller’s main task is to provide separation to departing and arriving aircraft operating under instrument flight rules. The approach controller takes over the control of an arriving aircraft from the airways controller and hands over the aircraft to the control tower. For departing aircraft the procedure is reversed.

When airports are very busy the approach controller may stack the aircraft at different levels so that each may descend in turn towards the airport. In such cases the approach controller usually gives aircraft their expected approach time. Because of their high fuel consumption at low levels, jet aircraft and, particularly, supersonic aircraft, prefer to remain at higher altitudes before starting their descent.
