adjacent airspace handoff
Say I fly VFR from ISP to FRG. It's less than two miles from the end of
ISP's Class C to the start of FRG's Class D (unless I stay below 1500 for more than ten miles, which I'd rather not do). In a situation like this, would the Class C controller typically 1) hand me off to the Class D controller; 2) approve an early frequency change; or 3) neither? --Gary |

I would address this question to someone at ISP, if I were in this
situation. However, my educated guess is that the handoff has already been coordinated before the wheels leave the ground. This is surely the subject of a "letter of agreement" between the facilities. Bob Gardner "Gary Drescher" wrote in message ... Say I fly VFR from ISP to FRG.

My experience has been, that if the Class C controller hands you off to Approach Control (usually as a result of your request to Clearance Delivery), airspace transitions will be coordinated. |

Call ISP and ask for copies of their LOA's with surrounding ATC facilities.

Probably class C towerclass C departure, then they will instruct you to contact class D tower. -- Hello, my name is Mike, and I am an airplane addict.... |

FAA Order 7110.65P Air Traffic Control Chapter 7. Visual Section 8. Class C Service- Terminal 7-8-8. TERMINATION OF SERVICE Unless aircraft are landing at secondary airports or have requested termination of service while in the outer area, provide services until the aircraft departs the associated outer area. Terminate Class C service to aircraft landing at other than the primary airport at a sufficient distance from the airport to allow the pilot to change to the appropriate frequency for traffic and airport information. PHRASEOLOGY- CHANGE TO ADVISORY FREQUENCY APPROVED, or CONTACT (facility identification). |

Thanks. I notice belatedly that AIM 3-2-4f2 conveys this information too. --Gary |
