Atl ils prm
I've got a question for those of you who do PRM approaches more frequently than I do.
The last few times I've been to ATL, they were doing PRM approaches, and I tune the monitor frequency as required. What I found unusual is that I'll often hear distracting transmissions on that frequency. I've heard vehicles crossing runways and airplanes under tow being given instructions.
My understanding of the setup is that the monitor frequency is there to protect the NTZ, and that transmissions on that frequency are safety critical to the PRM operation.
Since ATL is the only place I ever seem to get PRM approaches, I'm wondering if this is normal, or it's just an ATL thing?
