The San Marcos Air Traffic Control Tower, which opened October 1, 2011, is City-owned and staffed by RVA, Inc. In August 2014, a Terminal Radar Display went live. The radar uses a real-time feed from Austin TRACON and assists our controllers in safely and efficiently guiding aircraft into the airport.

MOVEMENT AREA PROCEDURES

In conjunction with our tower opening, a movement area on the ramp was created.

Any vehicle on the airfield must be equipped with flashing lights and radio.
