<h3> Handoff and Radar Tracking </h3>
Columbia ATCT is a VFR tower. No radar handoffs shall be initiated to LC.


TRACON controllers shall not drop track on any arriving aircraft. This allows a controller to maintain radar identification during missed approach.

<h3> Release and Rolling Calls </h3>
<tab name="DRE- Departure Radar East">
TRACON sectors give automatic releases to all departures from Columbia ATCT when departures follow the standard departure procedures as specified in this document.
 
All other airports within TRACON’s boundaries shall request a departure release. Upon approval of the release, the release shall be good for five minutes.
 
Upon issuance of the takeoff clearance, a departure message shall be sent to the appropriate departure sector. This can be accomplished non-verbally by the LC ensuring the aircraft is squawking the appropriate squawk code and mode C is enabled when airborne.
<br><br>
<h3> TRACON Departure Procedures</h3>
Forward departure instructions to LC for aircraft executing practice missed approaches.
 
Ensure all departures are on course as soon as practical.
 
All departures should be on course before handoff to Enroute Control unless otherwise coordinated. Aircraft shall be climbed to 10,000 or less if filed.
 
Provide airspace for automatic departures and radar final.
 
Provide airspace for missed approach on all runways.
<br><br>
<h3> TRACON Arrival Procedures </h3>
The sector responsible for the primary runway shall establish the approach sequence for all arrivals.
 
Communications transfer of arriving aircraft to LC must be accomplished no later than five nautical miles from the end of the arrival runway.
 
When simultaneous approaches are being conducted on converging runways, LC is responsible for ensuring runway separation. However, TRACON must provide enough spacing to minimize the possibility of a go-around.
 
When vectoring to final from parallel downwinds, aircraft on opposing base legs shall be assigned altitudes to ensure vertical separation unless other approved separation has been applied. This ensures separation in the event of an overshoot on final.
 
Coordinate with LC for any aircraft conducting approaches to other runways than the active arrival runway(s) in use.

Purpose:

This document prescribes the procedures to be utilized for providing air traffic control services at the Central Florida Tracon. 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.

Description:
1. The primary “combined” radar position shall be DRE. No other sectors shall be staffed until the “combined” position is already in use.
2. Once DRE is in use, DRE may delegate a portion of its airspace to DRW. Thereafter, DRW may delegate a portion of its airspace to ARB.
3. Once ARB is in use, ARB may delegate a portion of its airspace to ARL. Thereafter, ARL may delegate a portion of its airspace to ARM.
4. Once ARM is in use, ARM may delegate a portion of its airspace to ARG. ARM/ARG are considered “final” radar positions and of the two ARM shall be opened first.
5. Once DRW is in use, DRW may delegate a portion of its airspace to SRD. Thereafter, SRD may delegate a portion of its airspace to SRK.
6. Once SRK is in use, SRK may delegate a portion of its airspace to SRS or SRN. Thereafter, SRN may delegate a portion of its airspace to SRV and SRP. SRV is dependent on SRN and therefore, SRV shall NOT be opened unless SRN is already in use. SRN assumes responsibility for SRV airspace when SRV is not in use.

NOTE: SRP is intended to be a “final” radar position for the SFB Airport and should only be used during high-volume traffic scenarios.

General Information

Handoffs: MCO ATCT is a radar tower. Radar handoffs shall be accomplished prior to aircraft entering MCO ATCT’s area of responsibility. Any other ATCTs within F11 shall not receive a radar handoff for arriving aircraft. All other internal and external handoffs shall be initiated as soon as the aircraft are clear of conflict.

VFR Aircraft: VFR Aircraft within the Orlando Class Bravo airspace shall ordinarily be kept below 5,000 feet and within the appropriate satellite radar position.

Departure Release: Unless otherwise coordinated, F11 shall give automatic departure releases to all traffic from MCO. All other airports within F11 shall request a departure release for traffic receiving radar services. Upon receipt of the departure release, the release shall remain valid for five (5) consecutive minutes. Upon issuance of the takeoff clearance, a rolling call notification message shall be sent to the appropriate F11 radar controller. This notification should include the callsign of the aircraft and the departure runway the aircraft is departing from.

Rolling Calls:MCO ATCT will ensure datatag auto acquires and will not send rolling calls to F11 departure controllers unless one of the following criteria is met:
a. The F11 departure controller requests rolling calls.
b. The departure scratchpads are not completed as per Chapter 7.1 of this SOP.
c. The departing aircraft is issued a departure heading not outlined in the MCO ATCT Standard Operating Procedures.

Runway Change Procedures: When changing runways, LC must verbally coordinate with the appropriate F11 position(s) for the last departure/arrival off the previously used runway and the first departure/arrival off the newly selected active runway(s). Notify F11 of the new runway configuration and last departure and arrivals. When notified by F11, stop all departures on the present configuration. When F11 is ready for the new configuration, F11 will notify LC. Upon completion of notification, departures may resume with the new configuration. Ensure ATIS has been updated to reflect the new configuration.

Simultaneous Approaches: Runway 36L/36R and Runway 18R/18L may not be used for simultaneous instrument approaches. The ATIS shall indicate at all times “Caution simultaneous approaches in use” prior to stating the arrival runways.
