Surveillance

Surveillance coverage can be expected to be available at all levels in the KA CTR. Although KA ADC is not permitted to use surveillance for separation, OLW may assist by establishing surveillance separation standards via coordination

Coordination

Departures

A 'next' call is made for all aircraft entering OLW CTA when they are next to depart. KA ADC must inform OLW if the aircraft does not depart within 2 minutes of the next call.

Example

KA ADC -> OLW: "Next, NWK694"
OLW -> KA ADC: "NWK694, Unrestricted"
KA ADC -> OLW: "NWK694"

The Standard Assignable level from KA ADC to OLW is the lower of A050 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.

Arrivals/Overfliers

OLW will heads-up coordinate all arrivals/overfliers to KA ADC

Example

OLW -> KA ADC: "Via PD, KPG, Overflier”
KA ADC -> OLW: "KPG, A040"

The Standard Assignable level from OLW to KA ADC is A060, any other level must be prior coordinated.
