Local controllers may use certified tower radar displays for which capabilities?

Certified tower radar displays give local controllers real-time visibility of aircraft around the airport, showing each target’s identity, exact location, and how those aircraft relate to one another in space. With that awareness, controllers can issue radar traffic advisories to pilots to warn them about nearby traffic and help maintain safe separation. They can also provide headings or vectors to VFR aircraft to route them efficiently and safely, especially when sequencing arrivals, departures, or avoiding conflicts near the approach path. Weather info and flight plans come from other systems, and these displays are used for actual operations rather than training-only purposes.
