Rev. 2 - 30 Jul 2015
Purpose
This agreement prescribes transfer of control procedures, radar handoff procedures, route/altitude assignments, and delegation of airspace between New York TRACON (N90) and LaGuardia Local (LGA). 
Cancellation
New York TRACON (N90) and LaGuardia Local (LGA) Letter of Agreement, dated January 2011, is hereby cancelled.
Scope
The procedures contained herein must apply unless prior coordination is effected.
Disclosure
vZNY and any other facilities mentioned in this document are affiliated with the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation (VATSIM) network.

General Procedures

Coordination

  • Procedures contained in Letters of Agreement shall apply at all times unless prior verbal (or textual) coordination between facilities has been effected otherwise.

Position Combining/Decombining

  • Coordinate prior to combining/decombining pertinent positions within facilities with any affected controllers.

Conflicting Flows

  • When the facilities to which the LOA pertains must use conflicting traffic flows, they shall do so alternately, governed by traffic volume and delays at each airport or airspace.

LaGuardia Departure Procedures

  • LGA Local shall:
    • Select the runway configuration and notify the N90 TRACON prior to the change. When this selection conflicts with other airports, TRACON has final approval authority for runway configurations.
    • Identify to TRACON the last aircraft that will depart prior to a runway configuration change. Tower shall then obtain a release from TRACON for the first departure in the new configuration.
    • Ensure complete and accurate flight plans for all VFR departures. If the departure will be handled by TRACON, do not radar identify but handoff in a timely fashion.
    • Handoff departing traffic to TRACON after observing a turn towards the assigned climb or heading. Ensure the handoff is accomplished in a timely fashion.
  • LGA Local may:
    • Use heading of 350 instead of 340 when departing runway 31, in the event of strong winds aloft from the East/Northeast. If using heading 350 instead of 340, departures to the East Gate must also use heading 010 instead of 360.
