Livermore Getting RADAR displays in June 2003!
(Click here for more information)

Facility Description:
Livermore Tower is a level-6 VFR Control Tower with radar. We got our radar scope in Febuary 2003. Currently we average approximately 210,000 operations per year, 99% of which is general aviation. The remaining traffic is military and air taxi operations. There is currently no commercial traffic into Livermore, although we do get many business jets flying in and out, such as Gulfstreams, Citations, Challengers, etc. The tower opened in 1974, and has been managed by the FAA ever since. Our most senior controller has been here since 1975! As you can see by the picture, our tower is very small but adequate since there are no obstructions to our view. The inside of the cab was renovated a few years ago, and looks very clean/nice inside. The tower gives a great view of the Tri-Valley area (Livemore, Pleasanton, Dublin), and overlooks a beautiful golf course that is co-located alongside the west end of the airport. Livermore Tower has been called a "country club" by many... but you'll have to check it out for yourself!

Livermore Getting Radar!?
Livermore Air Traffic Control Tower had two radar displays installed into the tower cab in Febuary 2003. This installation coincided with the NORCAL TRACON facility in Sacramento California becoming fully operational around the same time. For more information, give us a call!
