Tier 2: GND

This lesson will prepare you for working the Ground positions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, or SeaTac for short.

Layout-wise, Seattle is actually a fairly simple airport. The complexity here is in the policies and procedures, and preventing traffic jams along Taxiway B.

This lesson will start by covering SID and altitude assignments for SEA departures, and the various SIDs at SEA.

After covering the SIDs and initial altitudes, you will learn about the four Ground positions at SEA:

• Flight Data

• Clearance Delivery

• Ramp

• Ground
