■
■
■

A

■ You are applying ATS surveillance separation between the concerned aircraft and another aircraft that was, is, or will be transferred.

Q

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Identification > Handoffs > Transferring Controller Non-Automated Handoff

If unable to do an automated handoff, transfer identification using one of the following methods: 
■   
—  
—  
—
■  
—   
— 
■
A

■ Inform the receiving sector or unit of:
— The position of the PPS relative to a point common to both surveillance displays or to a previously transferred aircraft that is identified
— The aircraft identification or ADS-B Flight ID or, if uncorrelated, the SSR code
— Other control information, if required
■ Provide a secure sequence of arriving aircraft as specified in an arrangement.
— When transferring to an FSS, the predetermined sequence is in relation to a fix as specified in the arrangement.
— When transferring to an FSS, the predetermined sequence is in relation to a control transfer point within the control zone.
■ Physically point to the PPS on the surveillance display of the receiving controller.

Q

MATS ACC > Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation From an ATS Surveillance Boundary

Unless you coordinate separation with the controller concerned, separate an ATS surveillance-controlled aircraft from the boundary of adjoining ATS surveillance airspace as indicated in Table: ATS Surveillance Separation between Aircraft and Adjoining ATS Surveillance Airspace. Also, if an adjacent sector applied a larger ATS surveillance minimum than your sector, apply additional separation from the sector boundary to ensure that aircraft are separated by at least the ATS surveillance minimum applied in that sector. ⓘ

ⓘ Managers determine which sector applies the additional separation from the boundary.

A

Look at table: ATS Surveillance Separation between Aircraft and Adjoining ATS Surveillance Airspace
