I have a friend that is a ground traffic controller at PHL. Next time I see him I’ll ask at what point the switch-over from GTC to ATC and vice versa takes place. Seems like that would always be a critical interval.

The tower controls landings and takeoffs, Ground controls taxiways.

No. Heavy was controlled totally by tower.
