Q

Agreement between Martin ACC and MSP Air Route Control Center

Minneapolis must ensure aircraft landing Martin are routed via…

A

A.4 Minneapolis must ensure aircraft landing Martin are routed via HML BLACK BLACK Arrival and issue descent to 10000 feet. Minneapolis will hand-off aircraft landing Martin to East Low and point-out to Martin High as required. Minneapolis will provide 10 mile spacing between similar type aircraft arriving Martin Terminal Airspace.

Martin Terminal Star Restrictions

A

KYLER Runway 27 is active:
Kyler at 10,000 feet and 220 KIAS (Props and Jets single stream)

KYLER - Runway 9 is active:
JETS –> KYLER 10,000 - 16,000 feet and slowing to 250 KIAS
PROPS –> KYLER 10,000 feet
2 streams (stacking props and jets)

For White, the KYLER runway 9 restrictions apply, pistons 9,000 feet (or lower if flight planned lower). Coordinated altitude box required for props going in at 9,000 or below

Q

V327

A

Northbound = Westbound, Even altitudes

Southbound = Eastbound, Odd altitudes

We do not switch altitude for aircraft between dusty and lumpy when the track changes direction.

(Note we still may get aircraft that are at wrong way altitudes according to the rule above that we may have to fix altitutde)

Arrangement between Martin Area Control Centre and Sandy Control Tower - C. DESCRIPTION OF AIRSPACE

( sandy control zone)

A

C.1 The Sandy control zone is the airspace to 5700 feet (5000 feet AAE) within the area bounded by a circle of 5 miles radius centered on: N49°30’00.00” W099°45’00.00”

Q

boundary estimate tip for procedural airspace

A

while the aircraft is still within radar coverage, RBL them to the boundry to get a boundary estaimate. Put in the notes section of the FDE “BNDRY @TIME” you can add a minute or 2 to the estimate to air on the side of caution if you’d like

if you miss this, then you have to wait for their dusty report and then extrapolate a boundary estimate using the true airspeed

we can pull the strip BOUNDARY ESTIMATE PLUS 10 MINUTES

Q

Arrangement between Martin Area Control Centre and Sandy Control Tower

B. RESPONSIBILITIES
B.1 SANDY CONTROL TOWER

A

B.1.1 Provide Airport Control Service within the Sandy Class D airspace to VFR, Special VFR, and IFR Aircraft for which the responsibility for control has been transferred to the Tower.
B.1.2 Assume control of arriving IFR aircraft in accordance with MATS and the operating procedures detailed in this arrangement.
B.1.3 Authorize Special VFR (SVFR) flights within the Sandy Control Zone and ensure that SVFR flights shall remain clear of the flight paths of IFR flights operating in the control zone.
B.1.4 Update OIDS system as follows:
- Current ATIS code
- - Active runway
B.1.5 Inform Martin ACC as soon as practicable of a No Transponder IFR departure so they may affect the appropriate coordination.
B.1.6 Inform Martin ACC when the Tower Radar Display, OIDS system, or EXCDS are unserviceable.
B.1.7 Advise Martin ACC of any aircraft without a functioning transponder operating within the Sandy Control Zone if a possibility of conflict exists with IFR traffic.

Q

SOM 650 AIRWAY OVERLAP

A

A. It has been determined by Airspace Planners that the overlap of protected airspace between V306/V327 discontinues 6.8 miles (or 8 DME including slant range for altitudes below 18000’ ASL) from YDD. Aircraft that report more than 6.8 miles, or 8 DME from YDD established on either airway are clear.

B. It has been determined by Airspace Planners that the overlap of protected airspace between V306/V6 discontinues 12.4 miles (or 13 DME including slant range for altitudes below 18000’ ASL below) northwest side of YAR. Aircraft that report more than 12.4 miles or 13 DME NW side of YAR established on either airway are clear.
