8 2-1. Areas CHAPTER 2. Certification Requirements The Potomac Consolidated TRACON is a very large TRACON, split into the four following areas; a) Chesapeake Area (CHP) Primarily covers BWI, with MTN and others as satellites. Requires an additional certification to control. b) Shenandoah Area (SHD) Primarily covers IAD, with FDK, HEF and others as satellites. Requires an additional certification to control. c) Mount Vernon Area (SHD) Primarily covers DCA. Requires an additional certification to control. d) James River Area (JRV) Primarily covers CHO and RIC with others as satellites. Does NOT require an additional certification to control Consolidating Areas a) The Potomac training progression is CHP, then SHD, then MTV. A controller on PCT is required to include in their controller ATIS which areas they cover. They should also include this in their online message on the ATC Chat. b) JRV area may be controlled by a Potomac controller at their discretion. The controller must ensure continuous airspace, meaning they may NOT control only CHP and JRV, but may control SHD and JRV Callsigns a) When connecting to an area that a controller is certified for, they will use the callsign XXX_APP, where XXX is the major airport for that area (BWI, DCA, RIC, IAD). b) Individual sector callsigns ex. IAD_X_APP should only be used during events or as authorized by the ATM, DATM or TA. Note that the S (student), M (mentor) and I (instructor) callsigns are still permitted. c) If a controller is controlling a position for which they have a solo cert but not a full certification, they will add a S suffix to their callsign. Ex. IAD_S_APP. If they are being monitored on an event position that already has an S, they will add a second s, ex. BWI_SS_APP Combined Callsigns (PCT_APP/DEP) a) PCT Combined is required to control all areas (JRV, CHP, SHD, MTV) unless delegated to another online sector. b) PCT Combined is required to update their controller information to include the general areas they are working. A template example is shown below. Potomac TRACON Combined - Providing service for KBWI, KIAD, KRIC, KDCA and the surrounding airports. c) The primary area for PCT Combined is Mount Vernon (MTV); PCT Combined shall control no less than MTV area combined if the rest of PCT becomes split. d) PCT Combined shall operate on the following two frequencies and splits; a. PCT_APP Covers all approach sectors into Potomac TRACON. Uses OJAAY identifier, frequency and voice server (118.95, PCT_1J) b. PCT_DEP PCT_DEP may be opened by a fully certified controller if PCT_APP is already online. PCT_DEP is delegated every "departure" sector in Potomac TRACON airspace. Uses KRANT identifier, frequency and voice server (125.65, PCT_1K) c. In the event that PCT_APP and DEP are online, delegation of local services will be at the discretion of the controllers online. All top down obligations must still be met. FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION USE ONLY 8

9 3-1. Departures CHAPTER 3. General a) Receipt of a departing aircraft s altitude is required to verify their altitude reporting transponder is functioning. If an aircraft does not check in with their altitude leaving, the controller should ask to pilot to confirm it. say altitude leaving b) Issue departing aircraft a climb to the highest altitude as prescribed in the relevant chapter or their filed cruising altitude as soon as practical Arrivals a) If an aircraft is on a descend via arrival that is issued by Washington Center, the following must be confirmed on initial contact with Potomac TRACON. a. Current altitude leaving b. Descending via, the name of the procedures, and the runway/direction b) On initial contact with Potomac TRACON, it is strongly recommended that all IFR arrivals be given the following. If the arrival does NOT check in with the current ATIS, it is required; a. ATIS letter b. Altimeter of destination c. Approach to expect c) There is one exception to 3.2b, arrivals to MTV area transiting CHP area via BAL or DEALE/BILIT should be given a local altimeter and the direction of landing at DCA/ADW on initial contact with CHP and the items in 3.2b on check in with MTV. d) Aircraft in opposing downwind legs on the same or parallel runways should be assigned altitudes at least 1000 ft separate at all times to ensure vertical separation in case of an overshoot or late turn to final.

26 CHAPTER 8. RADAR TEAM POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES SECTION 1. GENERAL 1. SIGN IN/SIGN OUT PROCEDURES. All personnel are required to sign into the network with the appropriate call sign and frequency, as denoted in this order. 2. TRANSFER OF POSITION RESPONSIBILITY AND USE OF CHECKLIST. a. The transfer of position responsibility shall be accomplished to provide and maintain operational continuity. b. The relief briefing shall involve the use of a tailored checklist, which lists the operational conditions applicable to the position being relieved (See Appendix 1). c. Relieved controllers shall monitor and observe the position for a minimum of two (2) minutes after completion of relief briefing/transfer of position responsibility. 3. AUTO ACQUISITION OF DEPARTURES. a. The towers are responsible for determining if automatic radar acquisition of a departure from their airport has occurred. Upon notification from the tower that automatic acquisition has not occurred, or for satellite airport departures that do not acquire, the first PCT sector to work a departure is responsible for initiating a radar track. 4. STARS INFORMATION. Arrival sectors shall ensure the appropriate arrival information is entered in scratch pad areas prior to frequency change to the tower. 5. PRE-ARRANGED COORDINATION. Prearranged coordination procedures are only authorized as outline in the appropriate chapters. 6. COORDINATION METHODS. All coordination shall be accomplished using approved methods appropriate to specific circumstances. Coordination methods shall be chosen to minimize distractions, minimize opportunities for miscommunications, and maximize personnel s attention to their operational positions. 7. AIRCRAFT BETWEEN SECTOR ALTITUDES. a. PCT sector boundary altitudes are defined in increments of 1,000 feet. A controller whose airspace overlies another s airspace has jurisdiction over the 500 foot VFR altitude between the two sectors for VFR traffic, unless otherwise specified. b. It is the responsibility of the controller working a heavy jet aircraft to ensure that necessary coordination takes place prior to allowing a heavy jet to operate at an altitude less than 1,000 feet above any adjacent sector or tower airspace boundary.
