Airspace

Tasman Airspace

Tasman Airspace

Howe (HWE)

HWE is a non-standard subsector that sits within TSN. Unlike TSN, it operates as a VHF Surveillance sector when it is open.

Due to limitations in VHF/HF coupling, HWE cannot extend to adjacent HF units.

Sector Ownership

Due to limitations in vatSys, TSN cannot relinquish sector ownership of the HWE sector when HWE is online. Tracks inbound to HWE airspace will appear as Blue Announced tracks to both TSN and HWE.

Surveillance Coverage

Limited surveillance coverage exists for aircraft in CTA greater than 250nm from LHI. Procedural Standards must be implemented prior to losing surveillance coverage

Coral (COL)

The COL subsector includes the AGGG and ANAU FIRs. These FIRs do not have their own positions, and cannot be split off from COL.

Extending

Warning

TSN (and its subsectors) are not permitted to extend to any adjacent Domestic/International sectors
