POSITION BREAKDOWN

PIT_DEL (ML – 126.750): Responsible for the ATIS. Handling ALL departing

aircraft. IFR or VFR get clearance from you. ALL IFR departure must get the

PIT1 departure with a valid departure gate. All aircraft, no matter navigation type,

are able to accept that departure. With that in mind, all IFR jets are to maintain

5,000 and IFR props maintain 4,000. VFR jets will be assigned to maintain 5,000

on departure (no at or below. TRACON will handle that later in their flight). VFR

props will be assigned to maintain 3,000 on departure (no at or below. TRACON

will handle that later in their flight). VFR traffic pattern aircraft are assigned a

squawk code only. No departure frequency or altitude. ALL ASSIGNED

INITIAL ALTITUDES DO NOT DEPEND ON THE AIRCRAFT FINAL

REQUESTED ALTITUDE. VFR JETS REQUESTING TO CRUISE AT 4,000

ARE ASSIGNED 5,000.

PIT_GND (SM – 121.900): Handling all movement areas. VFR to the EAST and

SOUTH depart 28C. VFR departures to the NORTH and to the WEST are

assigned 28R. Taxi sequencing should be used to expedite departures. KPIT is

NOT equipped with ASD-X. Aircraft should not squawk mode C on ramps or

taxiways. Pilots should be reminded to squawk mode C when being handed off to

tower only. Monitor aircraft positions to ensure runway infringement is not to

occur. Any intersection departures requested from any aircraft must be

coordinated with local control. Ground will not be split. Ground will have control

of all taxiway north of runway 28C/10C and south of 28R/10L. Any other taxiway

are controlled by local control.

PIT_TWR (JL – 128.300): VERIFY ALL AIRCRAFT ARE SQUAWKING

MODE C PRIOR TO DEPARTURE CLEARANCE. Responsible for all runways

and all taxiing aircraft requesting to cross runways. Responsible for all taxiways

north of 10L/28R and south of 10C/28C. Intersection departures are permitted.

Automatic releases are in effect. All arriving aircraft can be radar accepted from

the appropriate TRACON controller. All VFR departures can be radar handled by

tower until on course where at that time tower will initiate a radar hand-off to the

appropriate departure controller for further services. Headings for all departures

are as follows:

IFR JETS on PIT1:

EWC, REC, JST: heading 360 after departure

BSV, TVT, DILNE: runway heading

AHITY, HLG, AIR, BURGS, CKB, AGC, MGW: heading 180 after

departure

IFR PROPS on PIT1:

Same as above

VFR AIRCRAFT:

Requesting East or South depart 28C and are given heading 180.

Requesting West or North depart 28R and are given heading 360.

All go-arounds are given runway heading and assigned 4,000 feet no matter

aircraft type. All go-around are then given to PIT_N_DEP or PIT_S_DEP

depending on arrival runway.

KPIT airport jurisdiction

Tower Control Uncontrolled Ground Control

PIT_N_DEP (ZY – 124.150): PIT_N_DEP will control all departures on the PIT1

going to DILNE, TVT, BSV, EWC, REC and JST. All aircraft will maintain as

per the PIT1 departure. All departures will fly headings as described in the tower

position briefing. Departures airspace extends up to 14,000 feet. BEWARE OF

ARRIVALS. DO NOT CLIMB AIRCRAFT ABOVE INITIAL ALTITUDE

UNTIL CLEAR OF ALL ARRIVALS. Any go-arounds off of 28R will come to

this frequency on the go. Aircraft should be vectored northbound and off to

N_APP on 124.150. All VFR departures should be vectored in a way that keeps

them out of the way of IFR departures and arrivals. Only aircraft routed via EWC

will go to CLE_30_CTR on 120.775. All other departures will go to

CLE_64_CTR on 134.900. This position can also expect to provide class D

departure services to KBVI until the tower closes at 0100Z.

PIT_S_DEP (TR – 119.350): PIT_S_DEP will control all departures on the PIT1

going to HLG, AIR, BURGS, AHITY, CKB, AGC, and MGW. All aircraft will

maintain as per the PIT1 departure. All departures will fly headings as described

in the tower position briefing. Departures airspace extends up to 14,000 feet.

BEWARE OF ARRIVALS. DO NOT CLIMB AIRCRAFT ABOVE INITIAL

ALTITUDE UNTIL CLEAR OF ALL ARRIVALS. Any go-arounds off of 28L

will come to this frequency on the go. Aircraft should be vectored southbound and

off to S_APP on 123.950. All VFR departures should be vectored in a way that

keeps them out of the way of IFR departures and arrivals. All departures on this

frequency will be handed off to CLE_64_CTR on 134.900 when leaving

TRACONs airspace. This position can also expect to provide class D departure

services to KHLG until the tower closes at 0200Z and KAGC (continuous).

PIT_N_DEP airspace

PIT_S_DEP airspace

PIT_N_APP (AJ – 124.150): Responsible for IFR aircraft arriving on the

HAYNZ4 and JESEY2 RNAV arrivals. All aircraft will have been previously

been told to descend via the filed STAR and what transition to fly (east or west).

Therefore, all arrivals to KPIT shall cross CUTTA on the JESEY2 arrival at and

maintain 10,000 feet and 250 kts. All arrivals on the HAYNZ4 arrival shall cross

GRACE at and maintain 10,000 feet and 250kts. All aircraft will then proceed via

the assigned transition from CTR and will expect further descent on the STAR.

Vectors to final shall be issued after the final fix on their filed STAR. Aircraft

arriving on these STARs are to be given runway 28R as their arrival runway.

Visual or ILS approaches are acceptable depending on spacing and weather. This

position can also expect to provide class D arrivals services to KBVI until the

tower closes at 0100Z.

PIT_S_APP (JC – 123.950): Responsible for IFR aircraft arriving on the

DEMME2 and FEWGA3 RNAV arrivals. All aircraft will have been previously

been told to descend via the filed STAR and what transition to fly (east or west).

Therefore, all arrivals to KPIT shall cross WISKE on the FEWGA3 arrival at and

maintain 10,000 feet and 250 kts. All arrivals on the DEMME2 shall cross

NESTO at and maintain 10,000 feet and 250kts. All aircraft will then proceed via

the assigned transition from CTR and will expect further descent on the STAR.

Vectors to final shall be issued after the final fix on their filed STAR. Aircraft

arriving on these STARs are to be given runway 28L as their arrival runway.

Weather and flow

The latest forecasts have us controlling in a west flow for this event using 28R and

28L for arrivals and 28R and 28C for departures. Class D airports flow can be

determined on a need be base. The sky conditions should be favoring visual

approaches. Brush up on your traffic calls!

Other Information
