Order 7110.65P, Air Traffic Control, with changes

7110.65P 2/19/04NOTE−Those en route facilities using host software that providescapability for passing interim altitude shall include thespecific operations and procedures for use of thisprocedure in a LOA between the appropriate facilities.1. The controller within whose area of jurisdictionthe control instructions will be issued.2. Any intervening controller(s) through whosearea of jurisdiction the aircraft will pass.e. After accepting a handoff from anothercontroller, confirm the identity of primary target byadvising the aircraft of its position, and of a beacontarget by observing a code change, an “ident” reply,or a “standby” squawk unless one of these was usedduring handoff. These provisions do not apply atthose towers and GCAs which have been delegatedthe responsibility for providing radar separationwithin designated areas by the parent approachcontrol facility and the aircraft identification isassured by sequencing or positioning prior to thehandoff.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Approach Separation Responsibility, Para 5−9−5.f. When using appropriate equipment, consider adiscrete beacon target’s identity to be confirmedwhen:1. The data block associated with the targetbeing handed off indicates the computer assigneddiscrete beacon code is being received, or2. You observe the deletion of a discrete codethat was displayed in the data block, orNOTE−When the aircraft generated discrete beacon code does notmatch the computer assigned beacon code, the codegenerated will be displayed in the data block. When theaircraft changes to the assigned discrete code, the codedisappears from the data block. In this instance, theobservance of code removal from the data block satisfiesconfirmation requirements.3. You observe the numeric display of a discretecode that an aircraft has been instructed to squawk orreports squawking.g. Initiate verbal coordination prior to acceptingcontrol of a track when “CST”, “NAT”, “NT”,“NONE”, “NB”, “NX”, “OLD”, “OL”, “AMB”,“AM”, or “TU” is displayed in the data block.1. When an automated interfacility handoffaction is initiated and “AMB” or “AM” is displayedin the full data block, advise the other facility that adisparity exists between the position declared by theircomputer and that declared by your ARTS/PIDP/STARS system.2. When an automated interfacility handoffaction is initiated and “NAT,” “NT,” or “TU” isdisplayed in the full data block, advise the otherfacility if a disparity exists between the positiondeclared by their computer and the actual targetposition.h. Advise the transferring controller, prior toaccepting the transfer of radar identification, that youwill delay the climb or the descent of an aircraftthrough the vertical limits of the transferringcontroller’s area of jurisdiction, unless otherwisespecified in a LOA or a facility directive.NOTE−Those en route facilities using HOST software thatprovides capability for passing interim altitude shallinclude the specific operations and procedures for use ofthis procedure in a LOA between the appropriate facilities.i. If you decide, after accepting the transfer ofradar identification, to delay the aircraft’s climb ordescent through the vertical limits of the transferringcontroller’s area of jurisdiction, advise the transferringcontroller of that decision as soon as possible.You now have the responsibility to ensure that thenecessary coordination is accomplished with anyintervening controller(s) whose area of jurisdiction isaffected by that delay, unless otherwise specified in aLOA or a facility directive.NOTE−Those en route facilities using HOST software thatprovides capability for passing interim altitude shallinclude the specific operations and procedures for use ofthis procedure in a LOA between the appropriate facilities.5−4−7. POINT OUTa. The transferring controller shall:1. Obtain verbal approval before permitting anaircraft to enter the receiving controller’s delegatedairspace. TERMINAL. Automated approval may beutilized in lieu of verbal, provided the appropriateautomation software is operational (automated pointout function), and the procedures are specified in afacility directive/LOA.5−4−4Transfer of Radar Identification
