<li>When opening a CTR position, if there is a neighboring CTR position staffed, announce on the ATC Chat the position is open. If splitting the position announce the split information on ATC Chat.

<p>Put this in CVG ATIS at all times: (Really just some times since this is a decade old)</p>
<q>New Scenery Available for CVG. The old runways 36L - 18R is the new 36 and 18 Center.</q>
<br>
<p><q>“NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES IN EFFECT. REQUESTS FOR OTHER RUNWAYS MUST INCLUDE A STATEMENT OF OPERATIONAL NECESSITY.”</q> used as needed</p>
<br>
<p>No SVFR operations</p>
<br>
<p>Runway 36L / 18R is new-ish. Simulators older than xplane 11 (or maybe FSX) may not have the new runway</p>
<p>Always refer to the Center runway as Center</p>
<br>
<p>Normal operations are arriving on 18C and 18L</p>
<p>Departing on 27 (or sometimes 18L for cargo aircraft)</p>
<br>
<p>Diverging headings off the runway:</p>
<p>+ / - 15 degrees (or 20 for easy math)</p>
<ul>
<li>18R +15/20 degrees right (200/205)</li>
<li>18C Runway Heading</li>
<li>18L -15/20 degrees left (165/170)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>36L -15/20 degrees left (355/350)</li>
<li>36C Runway Heading</li>
<li>36L +15/20 degrees left (025/030)</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<p>Missed Approaches</p>
<p>North flow:</p>
<p>36L - Climb 4000, 310 Heading, then 210...</p>
<p>36C - Climb 4000, Runway heading...</p>
<p>36R - Climb 4000, 360 heading, then 150...</p>
<p>Then send to final radar</p>
<br>
<p>South Flow</p>
<p>18R - Climb 4000, 240 heading, then 350...</p>
<p>18C - Climb 4000, Runway Heading...</p>
<p>18L - Climb 4000, 120 heading, then 010...</p>
<p>Then send to final radar</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Parallel taxiways:</p>
<p>Further from the runway (E, S, J) for taxing departures</p>
<p>Closer to the runway (D, K, T) for taxing Arrivals</p>
<br>
<p>Push flight strips to local in the order of departure.</p>
<p>Instruct aircraft to monitor local's frequency if strip order is correct.</p>
<br>
<p>VFR aircraft require an explicit clearance out of the Class bravo</p>
<p>All VFR aircraft require a flight plan. CD can make one for them.</p>
<p>All VFR aircraft are cleared up to 5,500 initially (Jets and props)</p>
<p>Minimum information:</p>
<ul>
<li>Callsign</li>
<li>Aircraft type (optional equipment code)</li>
<li>Direction of flight</li>
<li>other known info (destination, Alt., temp Alt., Cruise Alt., Squawk)</li>
</ul>
<p>Aircraft requesting Flight following shall be coordinated with appropriate radar position prior to give ing a class bravo clearance.</p>
<p><q>VFR</q> shall be placed in the scratchpad. <q>FVFR</q> if requesting flight following</p>
<br>
<p>VFR close traffic pattern shall be coordinated with tower, no unique beacon code required</p>
<br>
<p>IFR Turbojets shall be given 6000 feet initially, then filed altitude 1-0 minutes after</p>
<p>Other IFR aircraft filed higher than 4000 feet, shall be given 4000 initially, with an <q>Expect filed 1-0 minutes after</q></p>
<p>VFR aircraft shall be instructed to maintain VFR at or below 5,500 feet</p>
<br>
<p>Aircraft departing 27/9 shall be issued departure freq. for radar sector appropriate for their direction of flight</p>
<p>North / South configuration: Bearcat if going East. Wildcat if going West.</p>
<br>
<p>No push back or engine start instructions</p>
<p>No ramp control services by controllers</p>
<br>
<p>Aircraft not in LOA compliance require coordination</p>
<p>All aircraft shall be encourage to file a SID. otherwise they need to be coordinated with radar</p>
