You’re clearing an aircraft through immediate stops
CLEARED THROUGH (airport) TO (fix)

IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
How do you clear an aircraft planning IFR operations for the initial part of flight and VFR for the latter part?
Clear them to the fix at which the IFR part ends.
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
How do you treat an aircraft planning VFR for the initial part of flight and IFR for the latter part?
Treat them as a VFR departure
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
When a VFR aircraft is ready to fly IFR, what do you do?
Issue a clearance when it requests IFR clearance to the fix where it proposes to start IFR operations.
CLEARED TO (destination) AIRPORT AS FILED
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
What do you have to do when an aircraft changes from VFR to IFR?
Assign a beacon code to Mode-C equipped aircraft that will allow MSAW alarms
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
When a VFR aircraft operating below the minimum altitude for IFR operations requests an IFR clearance and the pilot informs you, or you are aware, that they are unable to clim in VFR conditions to the minimum IFR altitude, what do you have to do?
BEFORE issuing a clearance, ask if they’re able to maintain terrain and obstruction clearance during a climb to the minimum IFR altitude
(Aircraft call sign), ARE YOU ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR OWN TERRAIN AND OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE UNTIL REACHING (appropriate MVA/MIA/MEA/OROCA)
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
What do you do if the aircraft is able to maintain their own terrain and obstruction clearance?
Issue the appropriate IFR clearance
(4-2-(1-9)
IFR-VFR and VFR-IFR Flights
What do you do if an aircraft is unable to maintain terrain and obstruction clearance?
Instruct the pilot to maintain VFR and to state intentions
(5-8-(all) Radar Departures (Procedures)
When the departure route description on a radar SID contains the phrase, “fly assigned heading”, “as assigned by ATC” or similar phrases, with a published range of headings in the route description, what do you do?
Assign headings or vectors as needed not to exceed those headings in the published range until reaching the MVA, MIA
(5-8-(all) Radar Departures (Initial Heading)
How much separation of departure for runways separated by less than 2,500’ do you need if courses diverge by 15 degrees or more immediately?
1 mile
