There's no hard and fast rule to keep you in the B airspace, but FAAO 7110.65 reads:
7-9-3. METHODS
a. To the extent practical, clear large turbine engine-powered airplanes to/from the primary airport using altitudes and routes that avoid VFR corridors and airspace below the Class B airspace...
Honestly, they'd (Tower Management) like us to repeat the TL or TR at the MM, but many of us are just really lazy. It's really not that huge a deal. Most of you guys won't turn until 400 feet anyway, which is usually fairly close to the MM.
When I work Rwy 26L with 2 headings, I actually like...
...degree divergence as long as you diverge immediately after departure. If you turn at or slightly inside the MM, this ensures that we have accomplished this separation standard (we use this a lot off runway 26L **SOP calm wind headings of 275/290** and runway 9L **calm wind headings of 090/105**).
The only people who should turn to a heading that is not on the "noise track" for runway 27R/L (calm wind heading of 250 degrees) would be satellite turn-outs. We (ATL ATCT) had been turning out the ATRs and SF-34 as a test but that will stop effective this Sunday. Then hopefully restart soon...
In the terminal (Tower and approach enviroment), we see exactly the same thing that we saw on your flight progress strips prior to the implementation of the new ICAO procedures - the final altitude requested, nothing more.
Stifler...
Thanks for the PM (2 additional pilots emailed me with this exact question in the last couple of days, now I know why)!
We (ATC) must protect the ILS Critical area when the weather is less than 800/2. Now in the case of your specific question about using B-V at ATL after landing Rwy...
You can buy the Mattson ATC test prep....it comes with a CD-ROM. Just google it and it'll come up. Several folks who have taken the test recently have told me that it was good practice and prep, but cautioned to not over-study it!
The progressive taxi routings are still required. If you are not getting it, its simply b/c someone (controller) is being lazy...it will catch up with them. The FAA has been doing random safety audits on tapes to ensure that controllers are doing their jobs...its only a matter of time.
DR / ATL...
At some point in the process they ask you to pick georgraphic locations by state for which you desire to be considered. That's about the best you'll get there.
CTI or military controllers (VRAs). The lady told me they are just laying off the OTS announcements for a while....we will see it again, just not right now.
I tried to get this info out of HR this week, and they coudn't give me a date. Rumor in the facilities is that they're laying off the "off-the-street" vacancy announcements for a while.
TD,
If the 8L final was that long, the others were probably also equally as long. In addition to you having to cross 4 runways in route to your DN destination (giving you much higher risk) AND having to deal with transitioning through a ramp to get to twy F....you probably still made out better...
Taxiway D is called Dixie at ATL in order to preclude any confusion with the company Delta. Been that way for decades and is depicted on the NOS airport diagram (shoud be also on the Jepps unless they've screwed it up recently) that way. I also believe its in the AFD.
Hey guys and gals,
Just a heads up for you:
The portion of taxiway Dixie that is located between ramps 6-north and 6-east is going to be closed until the end of May 2009. If you are an arrival and know that you are parking at 6N, but feel based upon your arrival location that you may get asigned...
In answer to your question about where they will park....we (ATL ATCT) have been working them in and out of Atlantic Aviation (formerly Mercury) all week. Of course, no one told us who they were or what they were doing until now....they're call sign is "Tsunami."
I used to hear a basset hound named "Sadie" in the background of one of our pilots xmissions years ago (BW...you know who you are). That was always funny!
