Airspace

TW ADC Airspace

TW ADC Airspace

TW ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the TW CTR, as well as the Class C airspace between A045 and A065.

Refer to Class D Tower Separation Standards for more information.

Surveillance

Surveillance coverage can be expected to be not available below A034 in the TW CTR. Although TW ADC is not permitted to use surveillance for separation, ARL/MDE may assist by establishing surveillance separation standards via coordination

Circuits

Circuits are to be flown in the direction coinciding with the Runway designator (Left/Right) at A024.

Coordination

Departures

A 'next' call is made for all aircraft when they are next to depart. TW ADC must inform ARL/MDE if the aircraft does not depart within 2 minutes of the next call.

Example

TW ADC -> ARL: "Next, QLK5D"
ARL -> TW ADC: "QLK5D, Unrestricted"
TW ADC -> ARL: "QLK5D"

The Standard Assignable level from TW ADC to ARL/MDE is the lower of A070 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.

Arrivals/Overfliers

ARL/MDE will heads-up coordinate all arrivals/overfliers to TW ADC

Example

MDE -> TW ADC: "Via MOR DCT for the VOR-A, FD272”
TW ADC -> MDE: "FD272, VOR-A"

The Standard Assignable level from ARL/MDE to TW ADC is A080, any other level must be prior coordinated.
