Airspace
KA ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the KA CTR SFC to A055.
Refer to Class D Tower Separation Standards for more information.
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 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.
