Who is responsible for visual control of all aircraft operating in the Control Zone?

The Air Officer is the person in charge of visual control in the Control Zone. This role carries the overall authority for airspace management within that zone, including ensuring aircraft are observed and directed to maintain safe separation, especially when visual coordination is relied upon. The other roles deal with different aspects or levels of operations: a CIC Officer handles information-centered command functions, a Tactical Air Officer focuses on tactical air operations, and an AATCC Officer handles specific communications and coordination tasks. In this context, only the Air Officer has the broad responsibility for visual control of all aircraft in the Control Zone.
