Operation Counts

[ThePlaneFlyer]

Can someone please tell me how the ATC operations are counted and recorded.

[Nate_Schneller]

Every “cleared for takeoff” or “cleared to land” on Tower I believe counts as an op.

Adding on to Nate, all approach clearances & servicing aircraft through RV/FF counts as operations as well;

ATC Operations

An operation is counted for each clearance issued. This includes tower takeoff and landing clearances along with approach clearances for the ILS and GPS which are worth more operations. A user can also gain an operation for aircraft serviced with radar vectors or flight following while working a radar facility.

The full story on this I don’t recall every seen published, only some pointers. But indeed not all instructions will count as an Operation. Like Nate, I’ve also read it’s the clearance instructions, and Tyler did a note on this once. See above.
In Tyler’s post there’s nothing mentioned on Ground ATC operations, but I’m quite positive Ground ATC does build Ops as he/she is controlling.
