ANSP in Japan
Flight Information Region and Control Area
The sky of Japan, which is theairspace assigned for control,consists of one Flight InformationRegion (FIR) : Fukuoka. Thisregion is controlled by Air TrafficManagement Center (ATMC) ,Sapporo, Tokyo, Fukuoka andNaha Area Control Centers(ACC).
Sapporo ACC Tokyo ACC
Fukuoka ACC ATMC
Naha ACC
ATMC manages the whole Fukuoka FIR. ACCs keep in closecontact with concerned airports and adjacent foreign FIRs suchas Anchorage, Oakland, Manila, Taipei, Shanghai, Incheon,Vladivostok and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

AFIS Aerodrome Flight Information ServiceAFIS Unit can’t issue clearance in JCAB,So①AFIS Unit transmit aircraft intension(SID/STAR/Flight-Level etc.) to ACC,② ACC issued DEP/ARR clearance to AFIS Unit,③ AFIS Unit transmitted ACC-Clearance to IFR aircraft
※１ Kitakyushu Airport and Saga Airport, has implemented the Remote Air-ground CommunicationService at nighttime.

Remote Air-ground Communication Service34
Airport Air-ground Communication Service→ Remote Air-ground Communication Service
As of April 1, 2015
Remote Air-ground Communication Service was introduced in 1974. (40years experience)
Airport Air-ground Communication Service was migrated to Remote Air-ground Communication Service at 11 airports ( ) since 2002.
Under consideration with the aim of future further efficiency. Fukui in 2006
Tottori in 2015

Kitakyuusyuu
BenefitsSince 2002, JCAB changed Airport Air-ground Communication Service to Remote Air-ground Communication Service at 11 airports taking account primarily the safety.
〈Benefit〉・The reduction of the staff is possible. (It brings reduction of staffing cost)・Overall maintenance costs are less expensive
〈Weak point〉・Air to ground communication may not be available.There is not a substitute of the air to ground communication in R/AFIS.
