Purpose:
This document prescribes the procedures to be utilized for providing air traffic control services at the Columbia Air Traffic Control Tower (CAE ATCT) and TRACON. The procedures described herein are supplemental to the Jacksonville ARTCC Facility Operating Guidelines and FAA Order JO 7110.65, as well as any published FAA guidelines or procedures.
Distribution:
This order is distributed to all Jacksonville ARTCC personnel.

ATCT Information
IFR Departure Instructions
Clearance/Route
All Aircraft shall be "Cleared as filed" unless a route amend is necessary. All routes must comply with LOA-approved standards. Aircraft unable to accept preferred route require coordination between all affected facilities.
Altitude
Instruct all pilots to maintain 4,000 feet and to expect filed cruise altitude (If higher) ten minutes after departure. All filed cruise altitudes must be checked for validity for the direction of flight and/or LOAs.
Departure Frequency
The Primary Departure Frequency is CAE_S_APP on 124.150. Updates to the Departure Frequency will be given by the TRACON controller.
Transponder
All departing aircraft shall be assigned a trasnponder code between 1601-1677.
VFR Departure Instructions
Altitude
If Aircraft is not remaining in the pattern, issue the instruction "Maintain VFR below 2,000 feet".
Departure Frequency
VFR aircraft not remaining within the pattern shall be given a departure frequency. The primary departure frequency is CAE_S_APP on 124.150. Updates to the Departure Frequency will be given by the TRACON controller.
Transponder
All VFR aircraft shall be assigned a trasponder code between 1601-1677.
Pushback and Startup
GC does not authorize pushbacks or startups unless the aircraft
pushing back will enter a controlled area during pushback.
- In these instances, aircraft should be instructed “Push and start approved, push tail facing (direction).” The direction should keep the aircraft pointed in the direction the aircraft will taxi.
- If the pilot calls to push, and no controlled area will be penetrated, simply advise the pilot “Push and start at pilot's discretion.”
Intersection Departure
GC must advise LC of all intersection departures verbally or through the chatbox.
ATIS
GC shall ensure pilots have the current ATIS prior to the aircraft being handed off to LC.
Active Runway Operations
GC must transfer communications to LC if an aircraft is to operate on an active runway.
Handoffs
GC shall instruct aircraft to “Contact Columbia Tower 119.500” unless otherwise agreed upon by LC. LC can request pilot monitor the frequency instead of contacting.
Area of Responsiblity
LC has responsibility for a five mile radius from the CAE field from surface up to and including 2,500 feet.
LC has responsibility to control 4,000 feet and below 1 ½ miles either side of the extended centerline within 5 miles of the departure end of the automatic departure runways.
Active Runway Selection</.h3>
The active runway shall be determined based on wind and known
factors that may affect the safety of takeoff/landing operations.
Runway 11 is designated as the calm wind runway.
Departure Procedures
LC will provide separation for aircraft in the LC airspace.
LC shall provide initial radar separation between successive departures.
When automatic departures are in effect, IFR jet/turbojet departures
shall be released on runway heading climbing to 4,000 feet.
LC has the option to assign all piston aircraft runway heading or a
fanned heading that will conform to the applicable departure corridor.
Arrival Procedures
LC shall be responsible for separation of all arrival aircraft that have
been handed off by TRACON from all departing aircraft still under LC
jurisdiction
Communication transfer must be completed prior to five nautical miles
from the runway.
Practice Instrument Approaches: Issue special instructions as verbally coordinated with the
TRACON.
LC shall NOT change the approach sequence without coordination.
Go Around/unplanned Missed Approach
- LC shall assign IFR aircraft runway heading and 3,000 feet
- LC must verbally coordinate with departure prior to frequency change.
Automatic Release
LC is authorized automatic releases from the TRACON controller so long as the aircraft departs on the pre-coordinated active departing runway(s) on approved departure headings
In order for automatic releases to be authorized, procedures in this document shall be followed.
Departure releases must be obtained if automatic releases are suspended by TRACON.
Visual Tower
Except as defined in 4.3.2, Columbia ATCT is a visual/VFR tower and shall
not initiate or accept any radar handoffs and shall not initiate control/start track on any target.
ATIS
LC shall manage the ATIS for KCAE
LC shall provide initial radar separation between successive departures.
When automatic departures are in effect, IFR jet/turbojet departures shall be released on runway heading climbing to 4,000 feet.
LC has the option to assign all piston aircraft runway heading or a fanned heading that will conform to the applicable departure corridor.
Practice Instrument Approaches: Issue special instructions as verbally coordinated with the TRACON.
LC shall NOT change the approach sequence without coordination.
Go Around/unplanned Missed Approach
In order for automatic releases to be authorized, procedures in this document shall be followed.
