ZJX	Jacksonville Center	Enroute

Purpose:

This document prescribes the procedures to be utilized for providing air traffic control services at Jacksonville Center. The procedures described herein are supplemental to the Jacksonville ARTCC Facility Operating Guidelines and FAA Order JO 7110.65, as well as any published FAA guidelines or procedures.

Distribution:

This order is distributed to all Jacksonville ARTCC personnel.

Splits:

ZJX airspace shall first be split high/low unless an east/west split would be operationally effective.

The ultra-low sectorization shall not be utilized without a minimum of the high/low split open. Ultra-low sectorization shall not be opened if center is only utilizing the high split. Ultra-low is only available for S3 controllers actively working on their C1 with authorization unless prior permission is obtained from the ATM or designee.

Sector 12 ALBANY is an Ultra-Low Sector that owns no enroute airspace, and shall work all unopened TRACON airspace in ZJX. This sector may be opened as traffic permits when appropriate TRACON’s can not be staffed and an enroute controller can control the boundaries of ZJX TRACON’s. Sector 12 ALBANY shall thus own the vertical and lateral limits of the P31, VPS, OZR, PAM, TLH, VAD, CAE, SSC, FLO, MYR, CHS, NBC, SAV, JAX, DAB, and F11 TRACONS whenever they are not staffed. If any of these positions are opened by another controller, R12 shall relieve that airspace and continue working all unopened TRACON airspace

Sector 13 ASHBURN is a low enroute sector AOB FL235 located over Central North Florida and South Georgia. This sector primarily handles aircraft into Tallahassee (TLH), Cairns (OZR), Valdosta (VLD), Jacksonville (JAX) via the OHDEA# and AMG# arrivals and the ARNEY# departure, Savannah (SAV), and A80 satellites to MCN/CSG.

Sector 15 OCALA is a high workload, low enroute sector primarily AOB FL265 except below the JAX33 Geneva Shelf where JAX15 is delegated AOB FL235. Ocala borders the F11, JAX, and TPA TRACONs. R15 does the primary sequencing for the JAFAR#, GRNCH#, SHREK#, and LEESE# arrivals into F11 TRACON, as well as working F11 departures via CAMDT, VIZTA, KNEED DTAs as well as LEWRD# and EPCOT# SIDs. JAX15 issues descents into Jacksonville (JAX) via the MARQO# STAR, and works departures via the JETIN2 SID. JAX15 also issues multiple descents into the Tampa and Sarasota

Sector 16 MAYO is a high enroute sector at or above FL270, primarily working overflights bound deeper into ZMA airspace, as well as descents into TPA. Sector 16 also works departures out of KMCO via the CAMDT corridor as well as the EPCOT# and LEWRD# SIDs. Descents will be issued for aircraft inbound to KMIA, KFLL, and KPBI when ZMA Sector 23 (STOOP) is opened, otherwise aircraft remain at cruise. All aircraft in this sector will cross the ZMA

Sector 30 NEPTA is a high enroute sector spanning the gulf region of ZJX. ZJX enroute controllers are advised to be alert towards aircraft traversing Y280 & Y290. Traffic on these airways are generally inbound or outbound ZMA airspace. When ZMA is offline aircraft inbound to KMCO via PRICY# STAR shall be given descent. Aircraft inbound MCO are not authorized to deviate off course and shall be handed to the appropriate F11 sector if online.

Sector 33 GENEVA is a high enroute sector, handling a majority of descents into KMCO and KTPA, as well as overflights to MIA/FLL via the FROGZ#/TEEKY# arrivals. GENEVA is arguably the highest workload high sector and Enroute controllers should be aware of the heavy flows, both overflights and descents

Sector 35 TORRY is a high enroute sector that covers aircraft inbound/outbound ZMA airspace via AR and Y routes. ZJX En Route controllers are advised to be alert towards aircraft traversing AR3, AR5, AR7, AR15, AR16, AR17, AR18, AR19, AR21, AR22, AR23, AR24, G446, Y493, Y494, and M202. Aircraft traversing these airways are generally inbound or outbound to the Miami Area, or long-range flights towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Oceanic Holding

If the need arises for holding aircraft near the oceanic corridor, a published hold may be utilized at HADWN. Extreme caution should be exercised when holding aircraft at HADWN as this fix is near AR3, G446, Y232, and Y234. Aircraft with conflicting altitudes and a loss of separation may occur if aircraft within the hold are at the same altitude, or stray outside of the hold’s protected area.

Sector 50 ALMA is a high enroute sector that functions as a sequencing corridor for arrivals to KATL via JJEDI# if ATL is West, or SITTH# if ATL is East. Offload arrivals for KMCO also travel through R50, though the only restriction that needs to be issued is for the LEESE# and GRNCH# arrival. Initial descent for the TPA area will be issued.

Sector 52 METTA is another far east oceanic sector entirely working aircraft traversing the Atlantic northbound to ZDC/ZNY or southbound to ZMA. ZJX En Route controllers are advised to be alert towards aircraft traversing AR3, AR5, AR7, AR15, AR16, AR17, AR18, AR19, AR21, AR22, AR23, AR24, G446, Y493, Y494, and M202. Aircraft traversing these airways are generally inbound or outbound to the Miami Area, or long-range flights towards the Atlantic Ocean.

If the need arises for holding aircraft near the oceanic corridor, a published hold may be utilized at ANNVA. Extreme caution should be exercised when holding aircraft at ANNVA as this fix is near AR15. Aircraft with conflicting altitudes and a loss of separation may occur if aircraft within the hold are at the same altitude, or stray outside of the hold’s protected area.

Sector 53 ASHBURN is a low enroute sector AOB FL235 bordering the Eastern coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. This sector primarily handles aircraft into Savannah (SAV), Jacksonville (JAX) via the LUNNI# and HOTAR# arrivals as well as the CROSB2 departure, and Charleston (CHS) via the BAGGY2 Arrival as well as the LGRHD# and STUNO# Departures
