5 vzau Chicago ARTCC 5 Chapter 1. General Information 1-1. Purpose of this Document This directive prescribes air traffic control procedures and position responsibilities for use by controllers providing air traffic control services and traffic management functions at the Chicago TRACON. The provisions of this directive are supplemental to procedures and phraseology prescribed in FAA JO All controllers working the Chicago TRACON are required to be familiar with and apply the provisions prescribed in this directive, other related facility directives and current Letters of Agreement with the Chicago TRACON Audience All vzau Chicago ARTCC members and visiting controllers certified or working toward certification to provide ATC services on a C90 TRACON position Software Utilization vzau has standardized on the Virtual Radar Client (VRC), vstars, and the Euroscope software as its operating software of choice. Any references to software in this and other facility documents are written with this software in mind Global Ratings All positions of operation outlined within this document shall be staffed in compliance with VATSIM Global Ratings Policy (GRP). The Chicago TRACON is designated by the GRP as a MAJOR facility, and all controllers staffing any C90 positions shall either possess or be in training (certified to be monitored) for the appropriate rating and/or facility endorsements Emergencies Controllers shall reference the VATSIM Code of Conduct and Code of Regulations policies regarding emergencies at all times, and have the right to request the termination of an emergency should it interfere with operations. Non-compliant pilots should be referred to a VATSIM Supervisor by utilizing the.wallop command on the radar client software Updates This SOP is to be reviewed and, if necessary, updated every six months to remain as current as possible. Senior Staff will convene during the months of June and December to release any necessary updates effective each July and January.

6 vzau Chicago ARTCC 6 Chapter 2. Positions of Operation 2-1. General O Hare International Airport is vzau s primary Class Bravo airport, and the only GRP-designated Major facility within the ARTCC Controllers staffing TRACON positions in C90 shall hold at least an Approach Controller (S3) rating, along with an Chicago C90 TRACON major endorsement, or shall be in training for such Communications The following are the TRACON positions that require duty familiarization and the transfer of position responsibility. The name of the position, the frequency, the online callsign, and the voice channel are as follows: Position Name Frequency Callsign FARMM Feeder CHI_Y_APP CHI_Y1_APP PLANO Feeder CHI_X_APP CHI_X1_APP KUBBS Feeder CHI_J_APP CHI_J1_APP OKK Feeder CHI_E_APP CHI_E1_APP ORD North Final CHI_F_APP CHI_F1_APP ORD South Final CHI_W_APP CHI_W1_APP ORD Central Final CHI_Z_APP CHI_Z1_APP Position Name Frequency Callsign North Sat CHI_A_APP CHI_A1_APP South Sat CHI_S_APP CHI_S1_APP South Sat CHI_P_APP CHI_P1_APP South Sat CHI_L_APP CHI_L1_APP South Sat CHI_U_APP CHI_U1_APP Voice Channel chi_y_app chi_x_app chi_j_app chi_e_app chi_f_app chi_w_app chi_z_app Voice Channel chi_a_app chi_s_app chi_p_app chi_l_app chi_u_app

Every controller is encouraged to use voice as the primary method of communication with aircraft per VATSIM regulations. However, aircraft utilizing non-voice communications (text or receive only) will never be denied ATC services, nor will controllers executing text or receive only commands be denied the ability to control. Controllers shall use text to clarify instructions and/or when instructed by an aircraft Every C90 position will maintain a standard and common position ATIS. VRC s Controller Info dialog automates many of these elements of a standard position ATIS. The position ATIS will include the following elements at minimum: Position Current ATIS Letter ID Active Runways Voice ATIS. At Class D, C and B airports located within C90, Local Control shall be responsible for keeping an updated voice ATIS with all necessary information pertaining to operations its respective airport. The standard VOICE ATIS for C90 if no other controller is online, is KORD_ATIS. The secondary Voice ATIS will be KMDW_ATIS. If both of those airports have a voice ATIS currently active, it will be up to the C90 controller on whether to connect an ATIS for a C90 Class Delta airport, however it is not required to do so. The ATIS should also be recorded with the voice server as rw.liveatc.net. Sample voice ATIS templates can be found below. 1. O Hare Airport Information (code), (time of wx observation) Zulu, (weather sequence wind, vis, precip/phenomena, clouds, temp, dewpoint, altimeter) 2. Arrivals expect vectors (choose one: ILS, Visual) Runway (#) approach 3. Departures expect runways (#, #, #) 4. Notices to Airmen: PIREP; Closures; Birds; Noise abatement, MU readings Wind shear; SIGMET; HIWAS; Braking action; SWAP. 5. For Clearance Delivery contact (position name) on frequency (frequency) 6. VFR aircraft say direction of flight, aircraft type and requested altitude 7. Pilots readback all runway hold short and taxi instructions. 8. Advise on initial contact you have information (code).

8 vzau Chicago ARTCC 8 NOTE 1- When ORD is landing converging runways or simultaneous approaches, place a message in the voice ATIS advising of converging operations to converging runways in use and/or that simultaneous approaches are in use. Also, when LAHSO operations are in effect, place an appropriate message in the voice ATIS. NOTE2- Prior to broadcasting, review the pending ATIS to ensure accuracy and inform pilots via voice and text of the update information code being broadcast Hierarchy of Opening Positions The following is a suggestion as to the order in which positions will be opened/split in the event more than one controller wishes to control C90.

9 vzau Chicago ARTCC 9 Chapter 3. O Hare Approach Control 3-2. ORD Approach Control Airspace Chicago TRACON Feeder controllers are delegated that airspace as depicted below. Defined airspace for each of the Feeder controllers is configuration specific and detailed in the graphic for each arrival configuration. Concerning runway 28L/10R, information in this chapter will be added in the update of this document that occurs after a scenery is made available with runway 28L/10R available for us. Any diagram below that had at one point included runway 32R/14L still remains, however, the runway has been permanently closed and is no longer in use and therefore should be disregarded on the diagrams. C90 Feeder Controller Airspace ORD Finals are delegated that airspace within active descent areas as depicted in this chapter.

10 vzau Chicago ARTCC Final shall not descend into the descent area until ensuring diverging or 3NM lateral separation exists from departure aircraft on ORD Tower assigned headings that parallel the descent area ORD Feeder boundaries are uncommon with ORD departures and South Satellite.

Feeder Approach Feeder Approach shall accept handoffs from ZAU and adjacent facilities for ORD arrivals, initiate handoffs to the appropriate Feeder or Final position, and be responsible for initial control and sequence of aircraft to the active descent area. Feeders are expected to adjust speed, altitude, and interval to ensure appropriate in-trail spacing for Final Approach Feeder Approach is also responsible for coordinating with adjacent facilities and C90 positions regarding any situation or condition that may impact ideal operation Feeder Approach should feed aircraft to another feeder controller on a published arrival or assigned heading, that will enter the receiving controller s airspace. Accomplish communication transfer and radar handoff. The receiving Feeder has control of the aircraft on contact, not upon entering airspace, unless otherwise coordinated Feeder Approach should feed aircraft to Final Approach on a lead-in, downwind, or base heading, or a published arrival. Accomplish communication transfer and radar handoff as soon as possible. Final has control on contact, not upon entering airspace, unless otherwise coordinated Final Approach Final Approach shall accept handoffs from Feeders, and/or adjacent facilities when appropriate, and provide final sequence to their primary runway, initiate handoffs to other Feeders or Finals.

11 vzau Chicago ARTCC Final Approach is also responsible for coordinating with ORD_regarding any situation or condition that may impact ideal operation including missed approaches that will remain inbound on the localizer Final Approach shall inform any aircraft when they exit and re-enter the Class Bravo airspace prior to handing the aircraft to Tower Local Control When conducting simultaneous approaches to parallel runways, turns in the descent area should be no greater than 210kts Simultaneous ILS/RNAV Approaches Simultaneous ILS/RNAV Approach procedures are to be utilized with such approaches are being conducted on two or more parallel runways For two runways, Traffic vectored for the low side (28C/R, 14L, 22L, 4L) shall be at 4,000 feet prior to 3NM of the high side localizer. Traffic vectored for the high side (27L, 14R, 22R, 4R) shall not be turned onto the localizer below 5,000 feet unless coordinated with other controllers Traffic from the High and Wide Stream (SHAIN/WATSN/OXI STARs) will always be vectored for the high side when utilizing dual Simultaneous approaches In the event an aircraft has to be pulled off the final for any reason, attempt to obtain visual separation between that aircraft and cancel the approach clearance. Assign the aircraft 3,000 feet, or if above, an altitude that ensures separation and does not conflict with downwind traffic. Coordinate with the appropriate controller for altitude, heading and speed with that aircraft. Point out the aircraft to any effected TRACON control position Triple Simultaneous ILS/RNAV Approaches Simultaneous ILS/RNAV Approach procedures are to be utilized when such approaches are being conducted to three parallel runways, and capture points will be utilized Traffic vectored for Triple Simultaneous approaches shall be conducted at ORD utilizing only and east or west flow runway configuration. Aircraft should normally be established on final outside the defined capture point. East Flow Capture Points (the point at which aircraft may join/capture the localizer) 9L 4,000ft. ILIUM 9R 7,000ft. FOTTR 10L 5,000ft. BURKE 10L 6,000ft. KALZO 10C 5,000ft. KYLAA 10C 6,000ft. COUPR West Flow Capture Points (the point at which aircraft may join/capture the localizer) 27R 4,000ft. WELEV 27L 7,000ft.

12 vzau Chicago ARTCC 12 28C 6,000ft. SNTOE Traffic may be turned onto final inside the Capture Point if no parallel traffic exists and prior coordination is affected Traffic vectored for the low side (North) shall be at 4,000 feet prior to 3NM from the Central localizer Traffic vectored for the middle side (South) must be established on final at 5,000 feet, at the defined capture points. Aircraft must be level at the intercept altitude prior to 3NM from the Central localizer if traffic is inbound on the parallel runway final approach course Traffic vectored for the Central localizer shall cross WASCO (9R) or GRABL (27L) at 7,000 feet, unless otherwise coordinated In the event an aircraft has to be pulled off the final of the central localizer runway for any reason, attempt to obtain visual separation between that aircraft and cancel the approach clearance. Instruct the aircraft to climb and maintain 4,000 feet and track the localizer, or issue the localizer heading if unable to track. Coordinate with the appropriate departure controller and initiate a handoff if necessary. 3.8 Dual Parallel Visual Approaches Weather must be a ceiling of 4,500 feet or higher, and visibility of 10 miles or greater for use as the primary approach procedure Traffic vectored for the low side shall be issued, and have acknowledged, a visual approach clearance prior to 3NM of the high side localizer unless visual or vertical separation is being applied with parallel runway traffic Traffic vectored for the high side shall not be descended below 5,000 feet until established on the localizer or cleared for a visual approach. With coordination the high side may run visual approaches and the low side may run ILS approaches Triple Parallel Visual Approaches Triple Parallel Visual Approaches are not operated at O Hare. Up to two parallel runways, the outboard runways, may be utilized for visual approaches while a third, the center runway, must be primarily an ILS approach The one exception to having three runways operating visual approaches constitutes that the Center final shall primarily conduct ILS approaches. Individual aircraft, however, may be cleared for a visual approach to the center runway provided the pilot is instructed to fly the localizer When visual approaches are being conducted to one runway and ILS approaches are being conducted to two runways, weather must be a ceiling of 4,500 feet or higher, and visibility 10 miles or greater for use as the primary approach procedure When visual approaches are being conducted to two runways and ILS approaches are being conducted to one runway, weather must be a ceiling of 5,500 feet or higher, and visibility 10 miles or greater for use as the primary approach procedure.

13 vzau Chicago ARTCC Configuration Changes When the weather is greater than a ceiling of 4,500 feet and greater than a visibility of 10 miles, traffic shall be no closer than a 10NM final from traffic that is touching down on an opposite direction final. When the weather is less that stated, traffic shall be no closer than a 16NM final from traffic that is touching down on an opposite direction final.

31 vzau Chicago ARTCC General Operational Procedures ORD Departure is delegated the airspace depicted below, with the exception of airspace delegated to ORD Tower and is exclusive of Feeder, Final, South Satellite, and North Satellite airspace as defined in this document. ORD Departure Delegated Airspace Approach Control shall be responsible to ensure 3 miles of lateral or diverging separation from aircraft that have departed ORD airport, on Tower assigned headings, that will parallel the active arrival descent area. Departure control shall ensure 1.5NM lateral separation from the active arrival descent area, where the Tower assigned heading does not parallel the descent area After radar identification of an ORD departure, Departure Control shall assume control for altitude and unless otherwise permitted, not alter the assigned heading prior to leaving ORD Tower airspace.

32 vzau Chicago ARTCC When issuing an altitude, the appropriate SID must be restated as part of the climb clearance if pilot compliance with the altitude crossing restriction on the ORD SID is required (e.g. UAL123 Chicago Departure, radar contact, O Hare EIGHT departure, climb and maintain 15, Departure traffic may be climbed within departure delegated airspace above 6,000 ft The use of 6,000 ft outside the active arrival descent area is to be used by Departure Control for the shuttling of traffic. The use of 6,000 ft is not intended as a blanket altitude and should only be used when needed for safety and traffic. Excessive use of 6,000 ft is discouraged as it creates a burden on approach and departure to issue mandatory merging traffic advisories Unless the speed restriction is included in the Departure Procedure, the position issuing a climb clearance to 10,000 ft or above to a jet aircraft is responsible to issue the speed assignment West Departure West Departure shall work BDF, MZY, SIMMON, IOW, PLL, MYKIE, OLINN, NOONY, PEKUE remaining clear of the active runway final approach courses.

Uncontrolled Satellite Airport Instrument Approach Procedures The following procedures shall be applied when an approach procedure to an uncontrolled airport originates in one sector s airspace and the destination airport is in another controller s airspace The initiating controller shall coordinate with the receiving controller to determine whether a communication handoff is necessary. The receiving controller will be the one to determine whether such handoff is necessary. The initiating controller will commence a point out of the aircraft to the receiving controller If the receiving controller accepts the point out, the initiating controller shall issue as part of the cancellation procedure to report cancellation on the receiving controller s frequency. Even though no communication transfer has been made it is the responsibility of the receiving controller to ensure the cancellation of IFR by the aircraft Uncontrolled Satellite Airport Instrument Approach Restrictions Whether the aircraft will transfer from one sector to another, it is the responsibility of the initiating controller to ensure the aircraft does not breach the vertical or lateral limits of the satellite airspace while flying the approach procedure If the pilot is unable to abide by the following restrictions, coordination with the affected position may be made based on controller workload.

In this case, a second position may not be relieved until after the first is complete and transfer of control has been confirmed Relief Procedures These procedures shall apply at all positions utilizing radio capabilities, acting in handoff duties for radio positions or working in the split mode for a radio position The relieving controller shall observe the position for a period of time including the operational situation and listening to voice communications. The relieving controller shall indicate when he/she is ready to be briefed on the position being relieved. The relieving controller may ask any questions necessary to ensure a complete understanding of the operational situation after the verbal briefing is complete The controller being relieved shall commence the verbal briefing at the request of the relieving controller. The relief checklist should be followed by the active controller. Any abnormal traffic should be pointed out to the relieving controller. After the checklist has been completed and all questions have been answered, the active controller may release the position. The now-inactivecontroller shall remain on the frequency for a period of time to ensure the position has been successfully transferred At the point in which the transfer is complete, the relieving controller, now-active-controller shall make a statement or otherwise indicate to the now-inactive-controller that position responsibility has been assumed When both parties agree that the relieving controller has assumed responsibility, they must end coordination communication with their operating initials Relief Checklist Order When transferring a position to a relieving controller, the following items shall be communicated verbally as part of this checklist and in the following order: 1). Runway Configuration at all noteworthy airports 2). Approach procedures in use at all noteworthy airports 3). Weather conditions, including PIREPs 4).
