Order 7110.65P, Air Traffic Control, with changes

8/5/047110.65P CHG 1NOTE−The aircraft should track laterally and vertically on theHaris One Arrival and should descend so as to comply withall speed and altitude restrictions until reaching Bruno andthen maintain 10,000. Upon reaching 10,000, aircraftshould maintain 10,000 until cleared by ATC to continue todescend.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65 Clearance Information, Para 4−7−1.AIM, Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), Area Navigation (RNAV) STAR,and Flight Management System Procedures (FMSP) for Arrivals,Para 5−4−1.i. When a pilot is unable to accept a clearance,issue revised instructions to ensure positive controland standard separation.NOTE−1. 14 CFR Section 91.123 states that a pilot is not allowedto deviate from an ATC clearance “that has beenobtained...unless an amended clearance is obtained”(except when an emergency exists).2. A pilot is therefore expected to advise the controller ifa clearance cannot be accepted when the clearance isissued. “We will try” and other such acknowledgements donot constitute pilot acceptance of an ATC clearance.3. Controllers are expected to issue ATC clearances whichconform with normal aircraft operational capabilities anddo not require “last minute” amendments to ensurestandard separation.4. “Expedite” is not to be used in lieu of appropriaterestrictions to ensure separation.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Providing Assistance, Para 10−1−3.4−5−8. ANTICIPATED ALTITUDE CHANGESIf practicable, inform an aircraft when to expect climbor descent clearance or to request altitude changefrom another facility.PHRASEOLOGY−EXPECT HIGHER/LOWER IN (number of miles orminutes) MILES/MINUTES,orAT (fix). REQUEST ALTITUDE/FLIGHT LEVELCHANGE FROM (name of facility).If required,AT (time, fix, or altitude).REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, IFR Flight Progress Data, Para 2−2−6.4−5−9. ALTITUDE CONFIRMATION−NONRADARa. Request a pilot to confirm assigned altitude oninitial contact and when position reports are receivedunless:NOTE−For the purpose of this paragraph, “initial contact” meansa pilot’s first radio contact with each sector/position.1. The pilot states the assigned altitude, or2. You assign a new altitude to a climbing ordescending aircraft, or3. TERMINAL. The aircraft was transferred toyou from another sector/position within your facility(intrafacility).PHRASEOLOGY−(In level flight situations),VERIFY AT (altitude/flight level).(In climbing/descending situations),(if aircraft has been assigned an altitude below the lowestuseable flight level),VERIFY ASSIGNED ALTITUDE (altitude).(If aircraft has been assigned a flight level at or above thelowest useable flight level),VERIFY ASSIGNED FLIGHT LEVEL (flight level).b. USA. Reconfirm all pilot altitude read backs.PHRASEOLOGY−(If altitude read back is correct),AFFIRMATIVE (altitude).(If altitude read back is not correct),NEGATIVE.
