The FAA operates the Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). The tower has a radar room or TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control) where air traffic controllers monitor the in-flight activity of all aircraft entering Rochester airspace. The Rochester ATCT is one of only a few towers in the U.S. to use the latest state-of-the-art radar display system know as STARS (Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System).
