New York ARTCC - Harrisburg TRACON Area Airport Notes 1) Squawk This is the range of beacon codes assigned to each towered airport. All IFR and VFR aircraft requesting flight following and departing from non-towered airports will be assigned a beacon code from the controlling TRACON or Center controller. 2) Tower, Ground, Clearance The first item is the defined frequency that the controller will transmit on. The second item is the controller ID that is used to identify the position and is unique within NY. 3) ATIS This is the frequency that will broadcast airport information IF an automated system is currently in use within VATSIM, then this will be the frequency to refer pilots to in order to get the latest information. VFR Beacon Codes As all airports in the Harrisburg TRACON are Class D airports, a discrete squawk code for VFR flight is NOT required. If an aircraft requests flight following, coordinate with Harrisburg Approach or the controller covering the TRACON and assign a VFR squawk code from the 0601-0677 subset of squawk codes.

KMDT Harrisburg Intl TOWER IFR Operations 1) Releases Releases from KMDT are by request only unless Harrisburg Approach or the controlling authority authorizes blanket releases. 2) Separation The standard departure separation technique to use is anticipated radar separation. Only use timed separation if the pilot requests it. 3) Radar By agreement with Harrisburg TRACON, this Tower will not radar identify departing IFR aircraft and will instruct IFR departures to contact departure control upon reaching 1000 MSL. 4) Initial Headings Issue the initial headings below as part of the takeoff clearance based on the general direction of the pilot s first waypoint. Runway Heading 13 Runway Heading 31 050 5) Missed Approaches Should a pilot have to go missed approach or go around, issue the following heading and altitude Runway Heading Altitude 13 050 3000 31 070 3000 Coordinate with Harrisburg Approach as soon as possible and handoff aircraft as soon as traffic is not a factor.

KMDT Harrisburg Intl TOWER VFR Operations 1) Airspace Class DELTA Tower only controls the Class D airspace depicted on the sector file from SFC - 2800 MSL (inclusive) 2) Pattern Work Use the traffic pattern directions below to the maximum extent practicable: Runway Direction Heading 13 LEFT Runway Heading 31 RIGHT 050 All props should be at 1,300 and all jets should be at 1,800 3) Departures All departures are not required to have a discrete squawk code and can depart VFR squawking 1200. If flight following has been requested by the pilot, this should have been coordinated by Ground and a squawk code issued to the pilot. Due to the proximity of the Capital City Class D airspace, additional control of VFR departures from Runway 31 should be used as follows: For Rwy 31 Departures to the SW, S, SE, E, NE: Instruct the aircraft to make a right downwind departure. This will, in effect, turn the aircraft onto a right downwind for Runway 31. Once appropriate based on altitude, traffic, and coordination with KCXY Tower, instruct the aircraft to turn on course. For Rwy 31 Departures to the W, NW, N: Instruct the aircraft to make a right crosswind departure. This will turn the aircraft onto a right crosswind off Rwy 31 (~040 heading). Once appropriate based on altitude, traffic, and coordination with KCXY Tower, instruct the aircraft to turn on course. Example: CALLSIGN, make right downwind departure, wind XXX at YY, Rwy 31 clear for takeoff 4) Arrivals VFR arrivals should be given standard pattern entry instructions to established them in the preferred traffic pattern direction. 5) Flight Following Flight following should have been coordinated by Ground with the TRACON prior to taxi. Instruct all VFR Departures with flight following to depart as prescribed in #3 above and instruct the aircraft to contact Departure at 1,000.

KCXY Capital City Airport VFR Operations 1) Airspace Class DELTA Tower only controls the Class D airspace depicted on the sector file from SFC - 2800 MSL (inclusive) 2) Pattern Work Use the traffic pattern directions below to the maximum extent practicable: Runway Direction 8 LEFT 12 RIGHT 26 RIGHT 30 LEFT All aircraft should be at 1,500 3) Departures All departures are not required to have a discrete squawk code and can depart VFR squawking 1200. If flight following has been requested by the pilot, this should have been coordinated by Ground and a squawk code issued to the pilot. Due to the proximity of the Harrisburg Class D airspace, additional control of VFR departures from Runway 8 and 12 should be used as follows: For Rwy 8 Departures: To the SW, S, SE: Instruct the aircraft to make a left downwind departure. This will, in effect, turn the aircraft onto a left downwind for Runway 8. Once appropriate based on altitude, traffic, and coordination with KMDT Tower, instruct the aircraft to turn on course. All Other Directions: Instruct the aircraft to make a left crosswind departure. This will, in effect, turn the aircraft onto a left crosswind for Runway 8. Once appropriate based on altitude, traffic, and coordination with KMDT Tower, instruct the aircraft to turn on course. For Rwy 12 Departures: Instruct the aircraft to make a right downwind departure. This will turn the aircraft onto a right downwind off Rwy 12. Once appropriate based on altitude, traffic, and coordination with KMDT Tower, if necessary, instruct the aircraft to turn on course. Example: CALLSIGN, make right downwind departure, wind XXX at YY, Rwy 12 clear for takeoff 4) Arrivals VFR arrivals should be given standard pattern entry instructions to established them in the preferred traffic pattern direction. 5) Flight Following Flight following should have been coordinated by Ground with the TRACON prior to taxi.

Harrisburg TRACON TRACON IFR Operations Departures When clear of traffic in the area or when traffic is not a factor, Departing IFR aircraft will: 1. Be instructed to climb and maintain 8,000 2. Be instructed to proceed direct to their first waypoint when able 3. Handed off to New York Center prior to reaching 8,000 unless traffic in the area requires the aircraft to level off at 8,000. Instructions 1 and 2 above may be combined as needed and deemed practicable. Arrivals New York Center will handoff all arriving aircraft with an assigned altitude of 8,000 As the TRACON layout is straight forward, arrivals can be given standard vectors to the approach in use. Keep aircraft above the Class D airspace areas in the TRACON as much as possible.

Harrisburg TRACON TRACON VFR Operations Departures There is no Class C or Class B airspace in the Harrisburg TRACON. So, there is no requirement for any aircraft to be radar identified. Harrisburg TRACON will only radar identify VFR Aircraft receiving flight following, which can be organized by any of the Class D Towers or if requested by the pilot. Should a Tower receive a flight following request, it should be coordinated with the Harrisburg TRACON and a VFR squawk code may be issued by Tower or the TRACON. Arrivals There is no Class C or Class B airspace in the Harrisburg TRACON. So, there is no requirement for any aircraft to be radar identified. Harrisburg TRACON will only radar identify VFR Aircraft receiving flight following handed off by a neighboring radar controller. Harrisburg TRACON will advise the pilot to report the destination airport in sight. Upon confirmation of the airport in sight, the TRACON will advise the pilot of termination of radar service and advise the aircraft to squawk 1200 such as: Harrisburg Approach, Cessna 40F 5500 Cessna 40F, Harrisburg Approach, VFR descent at your discretion, report Lancaster in sight Will report, Cessna 40F Approach, Lancaster in sight, Cessna 40F Cessna 40F, radar services terminated, squawk VFR, contact Lancaster Tower on 120.9, good day Tower on 120.9, Cessna 40F
