Purpose: This agreement establishes coordination procedures and defines delegation of airspace between VATUSA Jacksonville ARTCC (ZJX) and VATUSA Miami ARTCC(ZMA). This agreement is supplemental to procedures contained within FAA Order 7110.65.

Distribution:

This order is distributed to all Jacksonville and Miami ARTCC personnel.

General Responsibilities

All handoffs will be conducted by radar handoff functionality unless otherwise coordinated.
All communications handoffs shall occur no later than the sector boundary.
Unless otherwise coordinated, data blocks and any relevant scratchpads shall be updated by the transferring center controller to accurately reflect assigned altitude information prior to initiation of a radar handoff.

Aircraft of similar performance landing within ZJX/ZMA shall be provided 5 miles in trail, constant or increasing, regardless of altitude (no stacks).

Transitioning aircraft shall not be permitted to operate an enhanced simulation rate greater than 1x across the sector boundary, unless prior coordination has been achieved.
Upon receiving a handoff from F11, ZMA shall have control for climbs.

When initially logging on to a position, ZJX shall indicate to ZMA whether F11 is utilizing north or south operations.
When initially logging on to a position, ZMA shall indicate to ZJX whether Tampa ATCT is utilizing north or south operations.
When Sector 02 (HOBEE) of Miami Center is online, ZJX shall ensure all aircraft landing within ZMA routed via the OMN corridor (eastern shore) will cross the ZJX/ZMA common airspace boundary AOB FL300, and via the western shore corridor AOB FL310.
ZMA authorizes ZJX to work all arrivals via PRICY# & ALYNA# (or equivalent) through Miami Center airspace when Miami Center is offline.
ZJX authorizes ZMA to work the MAATY/DADES arrivals (or equivalent) through Jacksonville Center and F11 ATCT airspace when Jacksonville Center is offline. Arrivals are to be issued descent in compliance with this LOA.
ZMA shall not descend aircraft below 12,000ft. until West of the Tampa ATCT/F11 shared boundary. ZMA shall handoff all DADES# arrivals via HIBAC to F11. F11 will descend and then transfer control to TPA.

Route Restrictions

Jacksonville AreaQ77Tampa via F11

If ZJX75/57 are combined, ZMA will issue BDRY AOBFL310. If ZJX57 is staffed by a separate controller, ZMA will issue BDRY AOBFL250.

Aircraft on or east of Q77/V267 shall be cleared northbound at ODD altitudes and southbound at EVEN altitudes.
Aircraft on routes/flight plans which are west of Q77/V267 shall be cleared northbound at EVEN altitudes and southbound at ODD altitudes.

Aircraft arriving TPA via the DADES# STAR HIBAC transition shall cross ZINGR at 17000 for F11 transition to TPA TRACON. DADES# STAR HIBAC transition shall be at the Tampa ATCT border at 12,000 if north OPS. South OPS 10,000 and 250 knots at the TPA ATCT border.
