Tower
The responsibility of Tower at Lanseria falls to the dedicated Tower ATS unit, "Lanseria Tower" (FALA_TWR) on 124.000. TWR will be responsible for the movements on the runway, as well as the responsibility of ensuring safety amongst VFR aircraft operating in the circuit or within the Lanseria CTR from GND - 6500ft MSL.
Note
As the frequency for departure is already handed in the IFR clearance, handoffs to the next ATS unit (Johannesburg Radar) is not required with departing aircraft.
