2/19/047110.65PSection 6. Basic Radar Serviceto VFR Aircraft− Terminal7−6−1. APPLICATIONa. Basic radar services for VFR aircraft shallinclude:1. Safety alerts.2. Traffic advisories.3. Limited radar vectoring when requested bythe pilot.4. Sequencing at locations where procedureshave been established for this purpose and/or whencovered by a LOA.b. Apply the procedures contained in para 7−1−3,Approach Control Service for VFR Arriving Aircraft,when arriving VFR aircraft are handled by approachcontrol and provide vectoring service in accordancewith Chapter 5, Radar, Section 7, Speed Adjustment,in addition to the radar services prescribed inpara 5−6−1, Application, and para 5−6−2, Methods.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Surface Areas, Para 2−1−16.FAAO 7110.65, Application, Para 7−6−1.FAAO 7210.3, Chapter 11, Section 1. Terminal VFR Radar Services.AIM, Terminal Radar Services for VFR Aircraft, Para 4−1−17.7−6−2. SERVICE AVAILABILITYa. Inform aircraft on initial contact whenever thisservice cannot be provided because of radar outageand apply para 7−1−3, Approach Control Service forVFR Arriving Aircraft.b. Provide the service, to the extent possible usingan available frequency, if an aircraft desires theservice but cannot communicate on the appropriatefrequencies. Aircraft which do not desire radarservice may be fitted into the landing sequence by thetower. Coordination of these aircraft shall beaccomplished with the approach control unless afacility directive/LOA prescribes otherwise. Nonparticipatingaircraft shall, to the extent possible, begiven the same landing sequence they would havereceived had they been sequenced by radar vectors.c. Radar sequencing to the primary airport, whenlocal procedures have been developed, shall beprovided unless the pilot states that the service is notrequested. Arriving aircraft are assumed to wantradar service unless the pilot states “Negative radarservice,” or makes a similar comment.7−6−3. INITIAL CONTACTAn aircraft sighted by the local controller at the timeof first radio contact may be positioned in the landingsequence after coordination with approach control.7−6−4. IDENTIFICATIONIdentify the aircraft before taking action to position itin the approach sequence.7−6−5. HOLDINGHold VFR aircraft over the initial reporting fix or a fixnear the airport when holding is required to establishan approach sequence.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Visual Holding of VFR Aircraft, Para 7−1−4.7−6−6. APPROACH SEQUENCEDo not assign landing sequence numbers, whenestablishing aircraft in the approach sequence, unlessthis responsibility has been delegated in a LOA orfacility directive.NOTE−The landing sequence is ordinarily established by thetower.7−6−7. SEQUENCINGa. Establish radar contact before instructing a VFRaircraft to enter the traffic pattern at a specified pointor vectoring the aircraft to a position in the approachsequence. Inform the pilot of the aircraft to followwhen the integrity of the approach sequence isdependent on following a preceding aircraft. Ensurevisual contact is established with the aircraft to followand provide instruction to follow that aircraft.PHRASEOLOGY−FOLLOW (description) (position, if necessary).Basic Radar Service to VFR Aircraft− Terminal7−6−1
