2. (There is a published altitude at Dvine WP): “Proceed direct Dvine, Climb via the Suzan Two departure except cross Mkala at or above seven thousand.”

Add

NOTE-
In Example 2, the aircraft will join the Suzan Two departure at Dvine, at the published altitude, and then comply with the published lateral path and any published speed or altitude restrictions. The aircraft will climb so as to cross Mkala at or above 7,000; remainder of the departure must be flown as published.

Add

6. When an aircraft has been issued an interim altitude and after departure ATC can subsequently clear the aircraft to climb to the original top altitude published in the SID instruct aircraft to “climb via SID.” When issuing a new altitude and compliance with published restrictions is still required instruct aircraft to “climb via SID except maintain (altitude).”

Add

PHRASEOLOGY-
CLIMB VIA SID.

CLIMB VIA SID except maintain (altitude).

Add

EXAMPLE-
1. (An aircraft was issued the Teddd One departure, “climb via SID” in the IFR departure clearance. An interim altitude of 10,000 was issued instead of the published top altitude of FL 230; after departure ATC is able to issue the published top altitude): “Climb via SID.”

Add

NOTE-
In Example 1, the aircraft will track laterally and vertically on the Teddd One departure and initially climb to 10,000; Once re­issued the “climb via” clearance the interim altitude is cancelled aircraft will continue climb to FL230 while complying with published restrictions.

Add

EXAMPLE-
2. (Using Example 1, after departure ATC is able to issue an altitude higher than the published top altitude): “Climb via SID except maintain flight level two six zero.”

Add

NOTE-
In Example 2, the aircraft will track laterally and vertically on the Teddd One departure and initially climb to 10,000; once issued “climb via” clearance to FL260 the aircraft will continue climb while complying with published restrictions.

4. If it is necessary to assign an interim altitude, or assign a final altitude not contained on a STAR/RNAV STAR/FMSP, the provisions of subpara 4­5­7h may be used in conjunction with subpara 4­5­7a.

7. If it is necessary to assign an interim altitude or assign a bottom or top altitude not contained on a STAR or SID, the provisions of subpara 4­5­7h may be used in conjunction with subpara 4­5­7a.

PHRASEOLOGY-
DESCEND VIA THE (STAR/RNAV STAR/FMSP) ARRIVAL EXCEPT AFTER (fix) MAINTAIN (revised altitude information).

PHRASEOLOGY-
DESCEND VIA THE (STAR name and number) ARRIVAL EXCEPT AFTER (fix) MAINTAIN (revised altitude information).

EXAMPLE-
“United 454 descend via the Haris One Arrival, except after Bruno, maintain one zero thousand.”

EXAMPLE-
“United 454 descend via the Eagul Five Arrival, except after Geeno maintain one zero thousand.”

NOTE-
The aircraft should track laterally and vertically on the Haris One Arrival and should descend so as to comply with all speed and altitude restrictions until reaching Bruno and then maintain 10,000. Upon reaching 10,000, aircraft should maintain 10,000 until cleared by ATC to continue to descend.

NOTE-
The aircraft should track laterally and vertically on the Eagul Five Arrival and should descend so as to comply with all speed and altitude restrictions until reaching Geeno and then maintain 10,000. Upon reaching 10,000, aircraft should maintain 10,000 until cleared by ATC to continue to descend.

PHRASEOLOGY-

Add

EXAMPLE-
“Climb via SID except after Baret, maintain flight level one niner zero.”

Add

NOTE-
1. Considering the principle that the last ATC clearance issued has precedence over the previous, the phraseology “maintain (altitude)” alone cancels previously issued altitude restrictions, including SID/STAR altitude restrictions unless they are restated or modified, and authorizes an unrestricted climb or descent. Speed restrictions remain in effect unless the controller explicitly cancels the speed restrictions.

Add

2. Restate “climb/descend via” and then use “except” or “except maintain” phraseology to modify published restrictions or assign a new top/bottom altitude. Use “resume” phraseology with “maintain” to rejoin a route and assign a new altitude where compliance with published altitude restrictions is not required.

4­8­1. APPROACH CLEARANCE

a. Clear aircraft for “standard” or “special” instrument approach procedures only. To require an aircraft to execute a particular instrument approach procedure, specify in the approach clearance the name of the approach as published on the approach chart. Where more than one procedure is published on a single chart and a specific procedure is to be flown, amend the approach clearance to specify execution of the specific approach to be flown. If only one instrument approach of a particular type is published, the approach needs not be identified by the runway reference. An aircraft conducting an ILS or LDA approach when the glideslope is reported out of service must be advised at the time an approach clearance is issued unless the title of the published approach procedure allows (for example, ILS Rwy 05 or LOC Rwy 05). Standard instrument approach procedures (SIAP) must begin at an initial approach fix (IAF) or an intermediate fix (IF) if there is not an IAF. Where adequate radar coverage exists, radar facilities may vector aircraft to the final approach course, or clear an aircraft to any fix 3 NM or more prior to the FAF along the final approach course in accordance with Paragraph 5­9­1, Vectors to Final Approach Course, and Paragraph 5­9­2, Final Approach Course Interception.

Add

NOTE-
1. Separate monitor controllers, each with transmit/receive and override capability on the local control frequency, will ensure aircraft do not penetrate the depicted NTZ. Facility directives must define responsibility for providing the minimum applicable longitudinal separation between aircraft on the same final approach course.

Add

2. The aircraft is considered the center of the primary radar return for that aircraft, or, if an FMA or other color final monitor aid is used, the center of the digitized target of that aircraft, for the purposes of ensuring an aircraft does not penetrate the NTZ.

Add

e. The following procedures must be used by the final monitor controllers:

Add

1. Instruct the aircraft to return to the correct final approach course when aircraft are observed to overshoot the turn­on or to continue on a track that will penetrate the NTZ.

Add

Add

(a) Visual separation is applied.

Add

(b) The aircraft reports the approach lights or runway in sight.

Add

(c) The aircraft is 1 mile or less from the runway threshold, if procedurally required, and contained in facility directives.

Add

4. Do not inform the aircraft when radar monitoring is terminated.

Add

5. Do not apply the provisions of Paragraph 5­13­1, Monitor on PAR Equipment, for simultaneous independent close parallel approaches.

Add

f. Consideration should be given to known factors that may in any way affect the safety of the instrument approach phase of flight when simultaneous independent close parallel approaches are being conducted to parallel runways. Factors include, but are not limited to, wind direction/velocity, wind­shear alerts/reports, severe weather activity, etc. Closely monitor weather activity that could impact the final approach course. Weather conditions in the vicinity of the final approach course may dictate a change of approach in use.
