11 TRANSFER OF COMMUNICATIONS Transfer of communications to PIT Tower for aircraft executing an instrument approach must be not later than (NLT) the Final Approach Fix (FAF) Transfer of communications to PIT Tower for aircraft executing a Visual Approach (VA) or a Class B arrival must be NLT 5 Nautical Miles (NM) from the threshold of the landing runway. Aircraft should be transferred in order of landing. DEPARTURE COORIDORS Dependent on the direction or traffic flow, a Departure Corridor is an area of airspace east or west of the airport. The Corridor extends up to and including 5000 MSL. The airspace is the jurisdictional responsibility of Local Control (LC), but may be used by Departure as outline herein. These corridors are depicted on PIT Flow Maps and below of each flow LC must release departures on headings as close to on course as practical, and to remain within the corridor (confines of 360 to 190). On a west flow, LC must issue headings no further lest then 360 and no further right than 190. The following headings should be utilized unless otherwise coordinated. Initial Fix Heading West Flow BSV, EWC, TON, REC, JST 360 TVT, DILINE Runway Heading HLG, AIR, BURGS, CKB, AGC, MGW 190 East Flow EWC, BSV, DILINE, TVT 360 TON, REC, JST Runway Heading MGW, AGC, CKB, BURGS, AIR, HLG 190 Distributed: PIT FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY Page 6
12 2.7.2 Departure may vector within the Departure Corridors only as follows: a. On a West Flow, DS must make turns only in a counter-clockwise direction. DN must make turns only in a clockwise direction. Westbound departures remaining south of the CUTTA corridor and north of the WISKE corridor may be turned on course. b. On an East Flow, DS must make turns only in a clockwise direction. DN must make turns only in a counter-clockwise direction. REDUCED SEPARATION PROCEDURES Reduced longitudinal separation of 2.5 NM between aircraft established on the Final Approach Course (FAC) within 10 NM of the landing runway is authorized for all PIT runways except RWY 14. The following conditions must be met: a. The weight class of the leading aircraft is the same as or less than the trailing aircraft b. Heavy aircraft and the Boeing 757 are permitted to participate as the trailing aircraft only. LAND AND HOLD SHORT PIT Tower does not conduct Land and Hold Short Operations. MULTIPLE APPROACHES Instrument Landing Systems (ILS)/Visual Approaches (VA) to Parallel Runways When executing VA, maintain standard separation from traffic established on the adjacent ILS approach until the VA clearance has been issued and acknowledged by the pilot. a. Minimizing Aircraft Overshoot. When vectoring aircraft for a VA with traffic for a parallel runway, inform the aircraft that traffic is using the other runway. Example: Traffic is landing Runway 28L. b. When there is traffic for parallel runways, Arrival should not transfer communications of an aircraft to the Tower until after it is established on final, or until specific traffic has been issued to an aircraft on base leg or downwind ILS/VA to RWY 32/28R. In this operation, L1 must provide visual separation between a RWY 32 missed approach and traffic landing RWY 28R. The weather minimums are basic VFR (1,000/3) ATIS must contain the message Multiple approaches in use. DIVERSE VECTOR AREA Within a Diverse Vector Area (DVA), random vectors may be assigned to IFR aircraft below Minimum Vector Altitude (MVA) in accordance with the DVA procedure and facility directive. The PIT and AGC Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedures establish Diverse Vector Areas. For obstruction clearance purposes, the following procedures must be used when applicable. a. Aircraft departing any runway at PIT or AGC and in a climb using standard climb gradient (200 feet/nm) may be vectored in any direction at or above 1,700 MSL. b. An aircraft assigned the PIT or AGC SID and climbing to an assigned altitude at or above the MVA may be given a vector at any time. Distributed: PIT FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY Page 7
13 c. DVA and obstruction clearance methods must be applied to IFR aircraft on a go around, break out, or missed approach as follows. i. Aircraft executing a go around at or beyond the runway threshold and climbing to an assigned altitude at or above the MVA may be randomly vectored once at or above 1,700 MSL. ii. Break out aircraft (aircraft taken off the FAC somewhere prior to the runway threshold) below the MVA must be assigned an altitude at or above the MVA and vectored to avoid depicted obstructions in accordance with FAAO , paragraph 5-6-3, Vectors Below Minimum Altitude. iii. Aircraft executing a published Missed Approach in accordance with an instrument approach procedure are provided obstruction clearance and specific climb out instructions. The aircraft may only be randomly vectored at or above the MVA. TOWER VISIBLE SEPARATION (TVS) Tower visibility must be 5 miles or greater, ceiling must be 1,000 feet or greater Arrivals: LC must provide visual separation of arrival aircraft from all other aircraft within 3 NM of the runway threshold through landing. Arrival may assume that aircraft are being separated by the Tower whenever wake turbulence separation is not required Departures: LC must provide visual separation of departures within the Departure Corridors until standard IFR separation is accomplished. LINE UP AND WAIT (LUAW) OPERATIONS The general requirement for conducting LUAW is contained in FAAO and Some of those requirements are included here for ease of reference When an aircraft is authorized LUAW, inform it of the closest traffic inbound to the same runway Do not authorize aircraft to simultaneously LUAW on the same runway Do not clear an aircraft to land, touch-and-go, option, or low approach on the same runway with an aircraft that has been cleared to LUAW until the aircraft in position starts takeoff roll Do not authorize LUAW if an aircraft has been cleared to land, touch-and-go, option, or low approach on the same runway When an aircraft is authorized to LUAW on a runway that intersects with another runway, traffic must be exchanged between that aircraft and any other aircraft that is authorized to LUAW, take-off, or arrive on the intersecting runway (s). Departing RWY 28L at Taxiway P does not intersect with RWY 32. Distributed: PIT FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY Page 8
14 a..luaw on RWY at night is prohibited at an intersection between sunset and sunrise unless RWY 28L is used for departures only. TRANSFER OF POSITION RESPONSIBILITY All personnel shall use the ZOB position relief checklist when transferring any position to another controller. Distributed: PIT FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY Page 9
15 CHAPTER 3. TOWER CAB POSITIONS SECTION 1. CLEARANCE DELIVERY GENERAL INFORMATION Monitor and operate communications equipment on specific position frequency as identified in section 2.2. PRE-DEPARTURE CLEARANCE (PDC) PDC may be used if requested by the pilot within the flight plan. Controllers shall use appropriate Alias dot command to issue the PDC and information.
