Q

(MSP LOA: 4b)

What conditions have to be met to be able to give a clearance to departing aircraft without Center’s approval?

A

> the flight plan was received from Center via FDIO or interphone

> departures are cleared at 10,000’ MSL or below

> departures are within 2 hours of the proposed dep time/EDCT

> an actual or assumed dep time (within 3 min of actual) is forwarded to center

> RAPCON confines all dep to within approach control airspace until a radar handoff is accomplished with the center.
