if RAPCON(approach) can not use radar due to some problem(ex>electricity out, radar failure...) What does RAPCON do and be restricted their work?
I think this is called "NON RADAR SITUATION" and i wonder can they do air traffic control or not.
I learned Pilot use SID, STAR...etc which can operate under non radar in this situation, but if weather is not good, and pilot can not see outside(in cloud) i think just operating SID, STAR can be dangerous due to any traffic which do not contact control facility.
and i wonder what work can RAPCON do under NON RADAR SITUATION.
if some vfr traffic suddenly contact RAPCON and request IFR clearance and radar vector due to weather, can RAPCON issue ifr clearance to vfr traffic? can RAPCON issue cleareance to fly some fix?(for example:C/S cleared to XXX(fix name), climb and maintain 9,000)
I want to know What work can RAPCON do in NON RADAR SITUATION.
Thanks..
