Note
Pearce TCU is a military TCU and procedures can differ significantly to those in a civil TCU. Ensure you are familiar with the military controller skills necessary to provide a quality service.
Airspace
The vertical limits of the Pearce TCU is SFC to F160.
Airspace Division
PEA is responsible for the restricted airspace within R155A and R155B. This airspace is reclassified to Class C when PEA is online.
PE ADC owns the airspace within the Pearce CIRA (5nm Radius of YPEA ARP, located entirely within R155A) from SFC to `A035.
Airspace Division
Additional airspace may be released by NOTAM, or coordinated between PEA, PH TCU, and LEA/PIY to facilitate military operations.
Phraseology
PEA -> PH TCU: "Request release of M166, SFC to F160, for Military Operations. My onwards with LEA"
PH TCU -> PEA: "M166, SFC to F160, released to you. Your onwards with LEA"
PEA -> LEA: "Request release of M166, SFC to F160, for Military Operations. My onwards with PH TCU"
LEA -> PEA: "M166, SFC to F160, released to you. Your onwards with PH TCU"
Coordination
Enroute
Departures
All aircraft from PE TCU to HYD require Heads-up coordination prior to the boundary, however, as soon as practical (when is the aircraft becomes airborne) is preferred.
Arrivals/Overfliers
All aircraft transiting from HYD to PE TCU must be Heads-up coordinated prior to 20nm from the boundary. There are no standard assignable levels; HYD and PEA controller must agree on a suitable level during coordination.
Phraseology
LEA -> PEA: "via AVNEX, EGLE9, will be assigned A090"
PEA -> LEA: "EGLE9, A090"
PE ADC
Next coordination is required from PE ADC to PE TCU for all aircraft.
The Standard Assignable Level from PE ADC to PE TCU is:
| Departure Procedure | Level |
|---|---|
| GUNOK SID | A030 |
| A Procedural SID | F130 |
| All others | The lower of F130 and RFL |
GIG ADC
Next coordination is required from GIG ADC to PE TCU for all aircraft.
The Standard Assignable Level from GIG ADC to PE TCU is:
| Aircraft | Level |
|---|---|
| All | The lower of A050 and RFL |
PH TCU
All aircraft transiting between PE TCU and PH TCU must be heads-up coordinated prior to the boundary.
Phraseology
PEA -> PH TCU: "Airborne YPEA, PHNX11"
PH TCU -> PEA: "PHNX11, F180"
