Section 2. OPERATING POSITIONS

6-200 TERMINAL RADAR TEAM POSITIONS a. The Radar Branch consists of four Primary Radar Positions (Approach East, Approach North, Approach

West, and Arrival Control) as well as Associate Positions. Approach East will provide all services to departing

aircraft from NKT. The Radar Branch also has a Flight Data position and Final Control operating positions. The

responsibilities of each position in the IFR room have been developed using the Team Concept and Intent and are

listed below.

REFERENCE FAA JO 7110.65, paragraph 2-10-1

b. IFR Room team positions are shown below.


EXP-21

6-204 APPROACH EAST

This position performs the duties and responsibilities of terminal area control service and SUA control as outlined

in the references within the designated airspace and the following:

a. May, without verbal coordination, authorize participants into APN SUA, except subareas, after

completing an automated handoff or for participants departing NKT, after receiving flight progress information

from APN.

NOTE

Participant aircraft departing NKT will call APN for squawk into North Sector SUA.

NOTE

ATC will not approve actual mission numbers to avoid implying that actions of aircraft within SUA are approved.

b. Provides approved separation between military participants and any IFR or VFR non-participant aircraft

authorized in SUA.

c. Provides all services to departing aircraft from NKT.

d. Must APREQ all northbound aircraft with APN to ensure awareness toward potential conflicting enroute

traffic between GSB and R-4314.

6-324 INFORMATION AND STATUS BOARDS

There are several Information and Status Boards located above various positions in the radar room.

a. The Information Boards contain pertinent information on local airports, frequencies, minimum vectoring

altitudes, etc.

b. The Status Boards contain real-time status of local airports, weather, runways, special use airspace, and

other information that affects the facility throughout each watch.


EXP-23

c. Procedures

(1) Information Boards. FWOs shall ensure the accuracy of the information boards. Forward any

discrepancy to the Training Support Specialist.

(2) Status Boards. RD shall maintain the Status Boards for timeliness and accuracy. All information

shall indicate current status of the appropriate areas. Scheduled hours of activation for special use airspace are not

written on the status boards, the real-time activation shall be indicated by the affected altitudes. Unless otherwise

indicated, the altitudes begin at the base of the designated airspace (Figure EXP-14).

NOTE The intent of these procedures is to give the controllers a visual cue for each of the status boards. Data written in a

particular area indicates to the controllers that there is pertinent real-time information. The lack of data in a particular area

indicates nothing pertinent to broadcast or that particular special use airspace is inactive.

Figure EXP-14

6-328 CONTROL SYMBOLOGY

Use authorized control and clearance symbols or abbreviations for recording clearances, reports, and instructions.

Control status of aircraft must always be current. You may use:

a. Plain language markings when it will aid in understanding information.

b. Locally approved identifiers. Use these only within your facility and not on FDIO or interphone circuits.

See Figures EXP-15 and EXP-16.

REFERENCE ATCFM, Paragraph 2-603 and 2-604

c. Plain sheets of paper to record information when flight progress strips are not used.

1. PURPOSE. This agreement outlines procedures and responsibilities for the scheduling of and the use of the

BURNER Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA).

2. CANCELLATION: This is an initial Letter of Agreement (LOA) and cancels no previous edition(s).

3. SCOPE. The procedures outlined herein are for use in the conduct of operations within the BURNER

ATCAA and are applicable to MCAS Cherry Point Radar Air Traffic Control Facility (RATCF) (Cherry Point

RATCF), MCAS Cherry Point Range Management Division (RMD), and all participants utilizing the area to

include Second Marine Aircraft Wing (2nd

MAW), USAF 4th Fighter Wing (4

th FW), and USN Strike Fighter

Wing Atlantic (SFW).

4. DEFINITIONS.

a. The BURNER ATCAA, Flight Level 180 – 290, overlies eastern North Carolina as

as depicted in Attachment 1. The BURNER ATCAA is primarily developed for Large Force Exercises but may

also accommodate aerial refueling and high altitude ingress and egress to and from Restricted Areas / Special Use

Airspace (SUA).

b. Vertical areas within the BURNER ATCAA between FL180 – FL290 may be utilized in part or whole on

a real-time basis. Vertical utilization above FL230 is conditional upon the release of this airspace by Center.

5. PROCEDURES.

a. Commanding Officers must ensure all participants utilizing the BURNER ATCAA are familiar with the

provisions within this agreement.

b. Scheduling.

(1) Participants will schedule BURNER ATCAA through MCAS Cherry Point Range Management

Division (RMD), Cherry Scheduling at 252-466-4040 / 4041. RMD will coordinate and de-conflict the BURNER

ATCAA with the Neuse ATCAA and the Hatteras B East and Hatteras B West ATCAAs through FACSFAC

VACAPES, FFVC Range Scheduler, DSN 433-1221/22, commercial (757) 433-1221/1222, prior to scheduling.

RMD will forward scheduled usage to Cherry Point RATCF.

(2) Participants desiring to utilize Restricted Areas and/or MOAs in conjunction with BURNER ATCAA

must schedule those areas through the appropriate scheduling authority.

(3) Participants desiring to utilize BURNER ATCAA vertical altitudes above FL230 will increase

probability of activation by scheduling W-122 Air 8 and W-122 Air 15 Areas (Attachment 1) concurrently

through FACSFAC VACAPES, FFVC Range Scheduler, DSN 433-1221/22, commercial (757) 433-1221/1222.

(4) Participants desiring to utilize the BURNER ATCAA for aerial refueling should schedule a block

altitude of at least 3,000’ and identify refueling to RMD.


EXP-87

(5) Participants are required to notify Cherry Point RATCF DSN 582-5960, commercial (252) 466-5960,

and/or airborne Cherry Point Approach, 360.775 UHF / 119.75 VHF, with cancellation of scheduled BURNER

ATCAA as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in restricted future usage.

c. Military Assumes Responsibility for Separation of Aircraft (MARSA).

(1) Commanding Officers will implement MARSA procedures when less than standard separation is

required.

(2) MARSA Authority. Each BURNER ATCAA evolution will have a MARSA Authority assigned.

Typically the MARSA Authority is the first aircraft approved into the BURNER ATCAA. For example the

exercise lead aircraft, flight lead, the aerial refueling tanker, or the Airborne Warning and Control Systems

aircraft (AWACS) will be the MARSA Authority.

(3) While in the BURNER ATCAA the MARSA authority is responsible for ensuring all participants

utilizing the area are aware of operations and procedures.

(4) Participant(s) will be assigned 1,000’ below the activated BURNER ATCAA altitudes, and clear of

all SUA prior to being approved into or released to the MARSA Authority for entry into BURNER ATCAA.

(5) Participants desiring to utilize the BURNER ATCAA for aerial refueling will be responsible for

developing that event refueling track and ensuring all participant(s) are aware of. Participants can expect that

altitude block to be released to the MARSA authority (aerial refueling tanker) and all inbounds can expect to be

held 1,000’ below or above the refueling altitude block until ‘released to the MARSA authority’.

(6) MARSA Authority will report “all complete” to Cherry Point Approach (frequency 360.775 UHF /

1194.75 VHF) when all participants within that scheduled activity have exited.

d. Participant(s) will contact Cherry Point Approach (frequency 360.775 UHF / 119.75 VHF) at least 5

minutes prior to entry with the following:

(1) BURNER ATCAA altitudes requested.

(2) Other SUA areas to be utilized concurrently (i.e. R5306A, W122, ATCAAs) with BURNER

ATCAA.

(3) Other participants expecting MARSA authorization during that evolution.

(4) Any special handling requests (i.e. ingress / egress requests).

e. It is the pilot’s responsibility of the participant to remain within the boundaries of the BURNER ATCAA

once approved entry.

f. When cleared into BURNER ATCAA participant(s) must monitor GUARD Frequency (243.0 UHF / 121.5

VHF) at all times.

LETTER OF AGREEMENT


SUBJECT: Use and Scheduling of NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATC Assigned Airspace

1. PURPOSE. This agreement outlines procedures and responsibilities for the scheduling of and the use of the

NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA).

2. CANCELLATION. The MCAS Cherry Point, USMC 2nd

Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), and USAF 4th

Fighter Wing NEUSE ATCAA LOA effective 01 July 2011.

3. SCOPE. The procedures outlined herein are for use in the conduct of operations within the NEUSE A and

NEUSE B ATCAAs and are applicable to MCAS Cherry Point Radar Air Traffic Control Facility (RATCF)

(Cherry Point RATCF), MCAS Cherry Point Range Management Division (RMD), and all participants utilizing

the area to include Second Marine Aircraft Wing (2nd

MAW), USAF 4th Fighter Wing (4

th FW), and USN Strike

Fighter Wing Atlantic (SFW).

4. DEFINITION.

a. The NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs, Flight Level 180 – 290, overlies eastern North Carolina as

depicted in Attachment 1. The NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs are primarily developed for aerial refueling

and high altitude ingress and egress to and from Restricted Areas / Special Use Airspace (SUA). NEUSE A and

NEUSE B ATCAAs may also accommodate Large Force Exercises.

b. The NEUSE ATCAA is sub-divided laterally, into Area A and Area B, and can be utilized in part or whole

as depicted in attachment 1.

c. The NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs vertical definition is FL180 – FL290. Vertical areas may be

utilized in part or whole on a real-time basis. Vertical utilization above FL230 is conditional airspace release by

FAA Washington Center.

5. PROCEDURES.

a. Commanding Officers must ensure all participants utilizing the NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs are

familiar with the provisions within this agreement.

b. Scheduling.

(1) Participants desiring to schedule the NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) will contact Cherry

Point RMD Central Scheduling DSN 582-4040/41, commercial (252) 466-4040/41. Same day requests will be

made to RMD DSN 582-2936, commercial (252) 466-2936.

(2) Participants desiring to utilize R5306A, C, and/or D areas in conjunction with NEUSE A and/or

NEUSE B ATCAA(s) should schedule through RMD Central Scheduling DSN 582-4040/41, commercial (252)

466-4040/41.

(3) Participants desiring to utilize NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) vertical altitudes above FL230

will increase airspace availability by scheduling W-122 Air 8 and/or W-122 Air 15 Areas (Attachment 1)


EXP-91

concurrently through FACSFAC VACAPES, FFVC Range Scheduler, DSN 433-1221/22, commercial (757) 433-

1221/1222.

(4) Participants desiring to utilize the NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs for aerial refueling should

schedule a block altitude of at least 3,000’ and identify refueling to RMD.

(5). Participants are required to notify Cherry Point RATCF DSN 582-5906, commercial (252) 466-5960,

and/or airborne Cherry Point Approach, 360.775 UHF / 119.75 VHF, with cancellation of scheduled NEUSE A

and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in restricted future usage.

c. Military Assumes Responsibility for Separation of Aircraft (MARSA).

(1) Commanding Officers will implement MARSA procedures when less than standard separation is

required.

(2) MARSA Authority. Each NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA evolution will have a MARSA

Authority assigned. Typically the MARSA Authority is the first aircraft approved into the NEUSE A and/or

NEUSE B ATCAA. For example the exercise lead aircraft, flight lead, the aerial refueling tanker, or the Airborne

Warning and Control Systems aircraft (AWACS) will be MARSA Authority.

(3) While in the NEUSE A and/or NESUE B ATCAA(s) the MARSA authority is responsible for

ensuring all participants utilizing the area are aware of operations and procedures.

(4) Participant(s) will be assigned 1,000’ below the activated NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s)

altitudes, and clear of all SUA prior to being approved into or released to the MARSA Authority for entry into

NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s).

(5) Participants desiring to utilize the NEUSE A and NEUSE B ATCAAs for aerial refueling will be

responsible for developing that event refueling track and ensuring all participant(s) are aware of. Participants can

expect that altitude block to be released to the MARSA authority (aerial refueling tanker) and all inbounds can

expect to be held 1,000’ below or above the refueling altitude block until ‘released to the MARSA authority’.

(6) MARSA Authority will report “all complete” to Cherry Point Approach (frequency 360.775 UHF /

1194.75 VHF) when all participants within that scheduled activity have exited.

d. Participant(s) will contact Cherry Point Approach (frequency 360.775 UHF / 119.75 VHF) at least 5

minutes prior to entry with the following:

(1) Specific NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) requested.

(2) Other SUA areas to be utilized concurrently (i.e. R5306A, W122, ATCAAs) with NEUSE A and/or

NEUSE B ATCAA(s).

(3) Other participants expecting MARSA authorization during that evolution.

(4) Any special handling requests (i.e. ingress / egress requests).

e. It is the pilot’s responsibility of the participant to remain within the boundaries of the NEUSE A and/or

NEUSE B ATCAA(s) once approved entry.

f. When cleared into NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) participant(s) must monitor GUARD

Frequency (243.0 UHF / 121.5 VHF) at all times.


EXP-92

g. Participant(s) will notify Cherry Point Approach (frequency 360.775 UHF / 119.75 VHF) 5 minutes prior

to exiting the NEUSE A and/or NEUSE B ATCAA(s) and state intentions.

h. Approval into the NEUSE A and/or NESUE B ATCAA(s) does not include approval into other SUA.

Participant(s) must properly schedule that SUA and comply with SUA requirements.

i. Aircraft experiencing two-way communications failure during operations within the NEUSE A and/or

NEUSE B ATCAA(s) will continue flight in accordance with procedures set forth in FAA Handbook 7610.4,

Special Military Operations, paragraph 10-5-12, "Communications Failure."
