Order 7110.65P, Air Traffic Control, with changes

7110.65P 2/19/04FIG 5−9−3Arrival InstructionsNOTE−1. The altitude assigned must assure IFR obstructionclearance from the point at which the approach clearanceis issued until established on a segment of a published routeor instrument approach procedure.2. If the altitude assignment is VFR-on-top, it isconceivable that the pilot may elect to remain high untilarrival over the final approach fix which may require thepilot to circle to descend so as to cross the final approachfix at an altitude that would permit landing.d. Instructions to do one of the following:EXAMPLE−The aircraft is en route to Delta waypoint at 6,000 feet. TheMVA for this area is 4,000 feet. “Cross Delta at or abovefour thousand. Cleared M−L−S runway one eightapproach.” (See FIG 5−9−3.)FIG 5−9−4Arrival InstructionsNOTE−The principal purpose of this paragraph is to ensure thatfrequency changes are made prior to passing the finalapproach fix. However, at times it will be desirable to retainan aircraft on the approach control frequency to provide asingle-frequency approach or other radar services. Whenthis occurs, it will be necessary to relay tower clearancesor instructions to preclude changing frequencies prior tolanding or approach termination.1. Monitor local control frequency, reporting tothe tower when over the approach fix.2. Contact the tower on local control frequency.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Communications Release, Para 4−8−8.3. Contact the final controller on the appropriatefrequency if radar service will be provided on final ona different frequency.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Final Controller Changeover, Para 5−10−8.4. When radar is used to establish the finalapproach fix, inform the pilot that after being advisedthat he/she is over the fix he/she is to contact the toweron local control frequency.EXAMPLE−“Three miles from final approach fix. Turn left headingzero one zero. Maintain two thousand until established onthe localizer. Cleared I−L−S runway three six approach. Iwill advise when over the fix.”EXAMPLE−The aircraft is being vectored to an MLS curved approach,3 miles from X-ray at 3,000 feet. “Three miles from X-ray.Turn right heading three three zero. Maintainthree thousand until established on the azimuth course.Cleared M−L−S runway one eight approach.”(See FIG 5−9−4.)“Over final approach fix. Contact tower one one eightpoint one.”NOTE−ARSR may be used for establishment of initial approachand intermediate approach fixes only. ASR must be used toestablish the final approach fix.5−9−4Radar Arrivals
