Nomenclature

  • ZWY hereafter refers to New York Oceanic.
  • A transition fix is a fix inside or at the edge of Moncton airspace that is the last fix in the aircraft route prior to its entry into ZWY airspace, or the first fix in the aircraft route upon its entry into Moncton airspace.

General Procedures

  • Traffic entering ZWY from Moncton shall already have received oceanic clearance from Moncton or a preceding controller.
  • All handoffs must be initiated no less than 10 nm from the sector border.
  • Aircraft departing ZBW airspace via VITOL (i.e., via the N airways) shall be handed off to Moncton; ZWY does not provide CTA service in that area, and its airspace ceiling is at 5,500'.
    • Handoffs between ZWY and Moncton are from non-radar to non-radar airspace. Advise the aircraft to contact the next controller 10 nm prior to passing the boundary fix.
  • Arrivals to Moncton FIR will be routed via CUDAS, ENGLE, FOCUS, or JEBBY and will enter Moncton FIR at FL400 or lower filed cruise altitude.

Routing

  • All aircraft entering ZWY airspace must be routed via a charted transition fix.
  • All aircraft entering Moncton airspace must be routed via a charted transition fix.
