All IFR Aircraft conducting practice approaches shall maintain 3,000 feet

Departure Frequency

The Primary Departure Frequency is JAX_S_APP on 124.900.

Squawk Assignment

All IFR Squawk codes will be auto-assigned by the controller client.
It should assign a code between 2601-2677. Controllers shall not change the auto-assigned code if a code between 2601-2677 is not assigned.

VFR Departures

Clearance

VFR Aircraft do not need explicit clearance to enter or exit the airspace.
All VFR remaining in the pattern will require coordination with the tower and will be directed to contact when ready for taxi.

Assigned Altitudes

Not Remaining in the Pattern
Jet: VFR aircraft shall be instructed to maintain VFR at or below 3,000.
Turboprops: VFR aircraft shall be instructed to maintain VFR at or below 3,000.

Aircraft remaining in the pattern shall not be given a departure frequency.

Squawk Assignment

VFR Squawk codes shall be assigned by the controller client using the assign squawk feature in their controller client for all traffic not remaining in the pattern.

Ground

General Information

Ground Control Responsibilities

The Ground Controller is responsible for the movement of vehicles and aircraft on the airport movement areas except for the active runway(s)

ATIS

Ground control shall confirm all pilots have the current ATIS code PRIOR to commencing taxi to the active runway. This can be achieved by requesting the pilot "state the current ATIS code". The ATIS is the responsibility of the tower controller.

Active Runway Operations

Except for runway crossings, Ground Control must transfer communication to Local Control if a vehicle/aircraft is to operate on a runway. Coordination for all runway crossings must be accomplished by requesting permission from local control by stating "(Number of Aircraft) to cross Runway (#) at Taxiway (Letter). Once approved and crossing has been granted and the crossing has been observed, ground control must state to local control "Runway (#) crossing complete"

Intersection Departures

Ground Control must advise local control of all intersection departures verbally.

Opposite Direction Departures

Ground Control must coordinate and obtain approval from Local Control, prior to taxiing an aircraft to a runway for an opposite-direction departure.

Pushback and Startup

Push back into a controlled area: Aircraft shall be instructed: "Push and Start Approved, tail facing (direction)." The direction should keep the aircraft pointed in the direction the aircraft will taxi.
Push back will not enter a controlled area: Aircraft shall be instructed: "Push and start at pilot's discretion."

Runway Assignments

The runway assignment should be the runway closest to the position of the aircraft based on the Active Runway Assignments as selected by the Local Controller.

Taxi Operations

As the taxiways at Jacksonville are simple, there are no defined routes for taxi.
NOTE: Do not direct an aircraft leaving the runway to hold short of the parallel taxiway without prior approval from LC.

Transfer of Communication

Departing aircraft shall be instructed to contact the local control frequency upon or slightly before holding short the runway for departure. Local control has the option to have the pilot "monitor" the frequency. If a pilot is going to monitor, ground control must send a private message via the controller client of the aircraft with their callsign and runway.

Tower

Active Runway Selection

The active runway shall be determined based on wind and known factors that may affect the safety of takeoff/landing operations.
East Operations is designated as the calm wind runway.

  • East Ops: Runway 8 and 14. It is recommended that VFR traffic remaining in the pattern use runway 8.
  • West Ops: Runway 26 and 32. It is recommended that VFR traffic remaining in the pattern use runway 26.



7110.65Z Runway Selection

Area of responsibility

LC has responsibility for a five mile radius from the JAX field from surface up to and including 3,000 MSL.

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
Practice Instrument Approaches: Issue special instructions as verbally coordinated with the TRACON. Practice Instrument Approaches shall assign runway heading and maintain 3,000 feet. Departure frequency as assigned by approach control.
LC shall NOT change the approach sequence without coordination. Communication transfer must be completed prior to five nautical miles from the runway.

Automatic Terminal Information Service

LC shall manage the ATIS
The ATIS shall be on 125.850

Automatic Releases

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.

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 the appropriate heading climbing to 3,000 feet. When automated departures are in effect, VFR may be released on the appropriate heading climbing at or below 3,000.

Arrival Procedures-General

The sector responsible for the primary runway shall establish the approach sequence for all arrivals.
Communications transfer of arriving aircraft to LC must be accomplished no later than five nautical miles from the end of the arrival runway.
When simultaneous approaches are being conducted on converging runways, LC is responsible for ensuring runway separation. However, TRACON must provide enough spacing to minimize the possibility of a go-around.
When vectoring to final from parallel downwinds, aircraft on opposing base legs shall be assigned altitudes to ensure vertical separation unless other approved separation has been applied. This ensures separation in the event of an overshoot on final.
Coordinate with LC for any aircraft conducting approaches to other runways than the active arrival runway(s) in use.

SHREK# will be descended from Enroute to traverse DUNNELLON/VITTS and shall be descended to 7,000 with a hand off to the appropriate F11 sector.

Departure Procedures-General

During East Flow, Turbojets that are west or southwest bound should be vectored counterclockwise north of KJAX.
During West Flow, Turbojets that are northeast bound should be vectored clockwise north of KJAX.
Forward departure instructions to LC for aircraft executing practice missed approaches.
Ensure all RNAV departures are on course as soon as practical. All other departures should be positioned through a DTA
Aircraft shall be climbed to 15,000 or less if filed.
Provide airspace for automatic departures and radar final.
Provide airspace for missed approach on all runways.

Handoff and Radar Tracking

Jacksonville ATCT is a VFR tower. No radar handoffs shall be initiated to LC.
TRACON controllers shall not drop the track on any arriving aircraft. This allows a controller to maintain radar identification during missed approach.
