MERGING TARGET PROCEDURES
Except while they are established in a holding pattern, apply merging target procedures to all radar identified: |
1. Aircraft at 10,000 feet and above.
2. Turbojet aircraft regardless of altitude. 3. Presidential aircraft regardless of altitude. |
|
Aircraft not in contact with an ATC facility may squawk
_____ in lieu of 1200 while en route to/from or within the designated fire fighting area(s). |
1255
|
|
VFR aircraft which fly authorized SAR missions for the
USAF or USCG may be advised to squawk ____ in lieu of 1200 while en route to/from or within the designated search area. |
1277
|
|
An action taken to transfer the radar
identification of an aircraft from one controller to another controller if the aircraft will enter the receiving controller’s airspace and radio communications with the aircraft will be transferred. |
Handoff
|
|
The term used to inform the
controller initiating a handoff that the aircraft is identified and approval is granted for the aircraft to enter the receiving controller’s airspace. |
Radar Contact
|
|
A physical or automated action
taken by a controller to transfer the radar identification of an aircraft to another controller if the aircraft will or may enter the airspace or protected airspace of another controller and radio communications will not be transferred. |
Point out
|
|
The term used to inform
the controller initiating a point out that the aircraft is identified and that approval is granted for the aircraft to enter the receiving controller’s airspace, as coordinated, without a communications transfer or the appropriate automated system response. |
Point out approved
|
|
A term used to transfer radar identification
of an aircraft to another controller for the purpose of coordinating separation action. Traffic is normally issued: 1. In response to a handoff or point out; 2. In anticipation of a handoff or point out; or 3. In conjunction with a request for control of an aircraft. |
Traffic
|
|
The term used to inform the
controller issuing the traffic restrictions that the traffic is identified and that the restrictions issued are understood and will be complied with. |
Traffic Observed
|
|
PASSING OR DIVERGING
Aircraft are on opposite/reciprocal courses and you have observed that they have passed each other; or aircraft are on same or crossing courses and one aircraft has crossed the projected course of the other and the angular difference between their courses is at least ___ degrees. |
