General Procedures

The receiving ARTCC has control for beacon code changes.
Each ARTCC shall route/restrict aircraft in accordance with this page.
Active sectors will be communicated by referencing sector ID or frequency, not callsign.
Each facility has control for turns up to 15 degrees within 15NM of the shared boundary, except as defined
Aircraft with any of the following points in their route shall not be cleared beyond them without coordination: IISLY, ZJAYX, ISSZZ, THRTL, CABLO, BULZI, SHRKS, ENEME. Aircraft over ZJAYX shall be AOB FL410.
Aircraft on Q75, Q103, Q83, or Q69 shall not be cleared beyond FISHO, GRONK, JUSEE, or RYCKI without coordination.
When advised of TBM (tmu.vatsim.net) operations at CLT, ZJX must deliver aircraft to CLT within +/- 1 minute of assigned slot time.
Controllers shall amend a descending aircraft's final (cruise) altitude to the lowest altitude cleared.

Prearrange Coordination

JJEDI/SITTH or WRGNZ arrivals from ZJX50JAX arrivals via OHDEA.DUCHY

1. ZJX50 HIGH shall initiate a handoff to ZTL23 ULTRA HIGH.
2. ZTL23 ULTRA HIGH shall immediately initiate a handoff to ZTL20 HIGH.
3. When ZJX observes that ZTL20 HIGH has accepted the handoff, ZJX will transfer communications directly to ZTL20 HIGH.
4. If ZTL20 HIGH does not accept the handoff by the ZTL/ZJX border, ZJX will transfer communications to ZTL23 ULTRA HIGH.

1. ZTL22 HIGH shall initiate a handoff to ZJX50 HIGH.
2. ZJX50 HIGH shall immediately initiate a handoff to ZJX13 LOW.
3. When ZTL observes that ZJX13 LOW has accepted the handoff, ZTL will transfer communications directly to ZJX13 LOW
4. If ZJX13 LOW does not accept the handoff by the ZJX50 HIGH border, ZTL will transfer communications to ZJX50 HIGH.
