Approach Control 1

Sector 1 Approach control 2
Sector 2
Clearance Delivery -> Ground <-> Tower <-> Approach <-> Center
Each ARTCC is
divided into areas,
then each area is
divided into sectors.
Sector boundaries
may be based on
lateral boundaries,
vertical boundaries,
or both.

So, you must adjust traffic reports for any wind correction you are holding.
– sequencing
• Radar Contact
– aircraft has been identified on radar and radar
flight following will be provided until...
• Radar Service Terminated
– you are no longer under ATC radar
surveillance and must resume normal IFR
position reporting
• Resume Own Navigation
– you are responsible for your own navigation,
but you are still in radar contact and need not
resume IFR non-radar position reporting.
Clearance limit
– will normally be your destination airport
– but you may be cleared to a fix prior to you destination if
• known delays at your destination
• ATC will gain an operational advantage
• If you are given a clearance limit other than your destination
airport, you should be given
– holding instructions, if not published, for the fix to which you are
cleared and an Expect Further Clearance (EFC) time, or
– a statement that no delay is expected
• Route of Flight
– Departure Procedure (DP) [formerly called a SID]
• Published in U.S. Terminal Procedures
• When a route, e.g., preferred route, begins with a fix,
departures will normally be routed to the fix by a DP or radar
vectors
• ATC will assume you have at least a textual description and
may automatically assign a DP. If you don’t want to use a
DP...
– indicate “No DP/STARs”
– in the remarks section of your flight plan
– Remainder of route of flight
• Preferred routes, TEC (Tower Enroute Clearances… later…)
• Published in AFD
“… cleared to CMK
VOR, hold North as
published, maintain
60, expect further
clearance @
2145Z”
• Altitude(s)
– Given in order flown
• e.g., “…cross Racey at 40, cross CMK at or below 60,
maintain 80”
– If initial altitude is different than that filed (or final)
• you should be given a time or point at which you can expect
clearance to your final altitude e.g., “expect FL190 ,
10 minutes after departure”
– If not at your desired altitude after a reasonable
amount of time, request it
• Altitude(s) - continued
– Cruise clearance is an authorization to…
• fly at any altitude from the minimum IFR altitude
• up to and including the altitude specified in the clearance
• and make an approach of your choice at your destination
• all without making any reports to ATC
• However, once you do make a report to ATC that you’ve
vacated an altitude for your descent
– you may not return to that altitude without an additional
clearance
• e.g., “…cleared to Meriden airport, cruise 40”
• Frequencies
– Departure control frequency
– Possibly ground or tower frequency (if initial
frequency is clearance delivery)
• Transponder Code
– 4-digit code to put in your transponder
– usually keep the same ‘squawk’ for entire flight
If in doubt,
verify
Never assume
ATC heard Be alert for
your readback similar call signs
• An ATC clearance is an authorization for you to proceed under a specific set of conditions
within controlled airspace.
• You may not deviate from an ATC clearance unless you experience an emergency or the
clearance will cause you to violate a rule or regulation.
• If you deviate from an ATC clearance, you must notify ATC as soon as possible. If you are
given priority over other aircraft you may be requested to submit a written report to the manager
of the ATC facility within 48 hours.
• Anytime you are in VFR conditions, it is your responsibility to see and avoid all other traffic,
regardless of the type of flight plan you are on.
• An IFR flight plan is required before flying into Class A airspace or any other controlled airspace
when weather is below VFR minimums.
• You must receive an ATC clearance before entering Class A or B airspace regardless of the
weather and in Class C, D, and E airspace when the weather is below VFR minimums.
• The elements of an ATC clearance are: Aircraft identification, clearance limit, departure
procedure, route of flight, altitudes/flight levels in the order to be flown, holding instructions, any
special information, and frequency and transponder code information.
• A Cruise Clearance authorizes you to operate at any altitude from the minimum IFR altitude up
to and including the altitude specified in the clearance without reporting the change in altitude to
ATC.
