applicable to the position being relieved (See Appendix 1).
c. Relieved controllers shall monitor and observe the position for a minimum of two (2) minutes after
completion of relief briefing/transfer of position responsibility.

3. AUTO ACQUISITION OF DEPARTURES.
a. The towers are responsible for determining if automatic radar acquisition of a departure from their

for satellite airport departures that do not acquire, the first PCT sector to work a departure is
responsible for initiating a radar track.

4. STARS INFORMATION. Arrival sectors shall ensure the appropriate arrival information is entered in scratch pad
areas prior to frequency change to the tower.

5. PRE-ARRANGED COORDINATION. Prearranged coordination procedures are only authorized as outline in the
appropriate chapters.

specific circumstances. Coordination methods shall be chosen to minimize distractions, minimize opportunities
for miscommunications, and maximize personnels attention to their operational positions.

7. AIRCRAFT BETWEEN SECTOR ALTITUDES.
a. PCT sector boundary altitudes are defined in increments of 1,000 feet. A controller whose airspace
overlies anothers airspace has jurisdiction over the 500 foot VFR altitude between the two sectors for
VFR traffic, unless otherwise specified.
b. It is the responsibility of the controller working a heavy jet aircraft to ensure that necessary coordination
takes place prior to allowing a heavy jet to operate at an altitude less than 1,000 feet above any
adjacent sector or tower airspace boundary.

b. Each sector shall ensure aircraft on its frequency receive ATIS changes for those airports within their
area.
c. All controllers shall acknowledge ATIS code changes via private text or via voice methods.

10. REDUCED SEPARATION ON FINAL. 2.5 NM is authorized between aircraft established on the final approach
course within 10 NM of the landing runway at DCA and IAD airports only.

11. APPROACHES TO MULTIPLE RUNWAYS. Controllers shall inform arrival aircraft when approaches are being
conducted to parallel/intersecting/converging runways. This may be accomplished through the ATIS.

12. AUTOMATED POINT-OUT PROCEDURES. Automated point-outs may be accomplished using the vSTARS client in
lieu of verbal coordination with the following provisions.
a. Ensure the scratch pad information is correct and entered into the appropriate area of the full data
block.
b. Arrival aircraft are descending to the runway, and the controller receiving the point-out shall protect for
the missed approach, if applicable, unless otherwise specified.
c. Departures shall be climbing to an altitude above the sector receiving the point-out.
d. All other aircraft shall be at level flight.

13. VECTORING TO FINAL. When vectoring to final, aircraft on opposing base legs shall be assigned altitudes that

SECTION 3. RADAR TEAM PROCEDURES
1. POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES. The first sector to provide service to a CHP area arrival shall:

2. CHP AREA PROCEDURES.
a. Aircraft crossing over BAL shall be in level flight prior to 5 DME. Transfer of communication shall be
accomplished prior to 5 DME. This is due to a potential loss of radar contact as the aircraft passes in the
vinicity of the ASR main bang.

3. SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE. R4001 protects Aberdeen Proving Grounds, where virtual military ordinance is fired and
tested. Separate non-participating aircraft from R4001 to avoid the airspace. Separation minima is not required.

4. OTHER OPERATIONS. Normal runway configurations are contained in the BWI/PCT LOA. Adverse wind, weather,
and airfield conditions may dictate that any combination of runways may be used.

5. PRACTICE APPROACHES. Provide IFR lateral separation to VFR aircraft conducting practice instrument
approaches to BWI and MTN. A minimum of 500 feet vertical separation must be maintained unless heavy jet
separation is required. IFR lateral separation must commence at the time the aircraft receives an approach
clearance.
