LOA/EWR LIB

Letter of Agreement

Newark TRACON (EWR) & Liberty TRACON (LIB)

Rev. 1 - 1 Jan 2021

Purpose: This agreement prescribes transfer of control procedures, radar handoff procedures, route/altitude assignments, and delegation of airspace between Newark TRACON (EWR) and Liberty TRACON (LIB).

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. The procedures outlined in this document are intended exclusively for use in the VATSIM flight simulation environment and must never be used for actual flight or air traffic control operations. vZNY and any other facility mentioned in this document are not affiliated with the FAA in any manner.

EWR Departure has the option to leave North props requesting 10,000 and above at 9,000 without coordination. Aircraft flight planned below 10,000 will be at 9,000'. LIB-N does NOT have control for climb on traffic at 9,000'.
For departures going to the South Gate exits, EWR departure clears departures direct ELVAE at 6,000/5,000 and releases control for climb to LIB-S. LIB-S is still responsible for coordination as required with LGA area and/or LIB-W.
LIB-N and LIB-W have control for turns of EWR and EWR satellite departures not to exceed headings which transition the respective departure gates.
LIB-W has control for turns on SBJ gate traffic no farther north than the extended centerline of EWR runway 11.
LIB-N has the option to handoff to METRO any V249 traffic at 8,000 and 9,000 if a significant speed difference exists, with a pointout to EWR departure.
When EWR Satellite Departure is open EWR/EWR SAT jets may transition the NORTH gate at 9,000 or 10,000, and should be at 10,000 when traffic permits.
When EWR Satellite Departure is open, LIB-N may turn no further east than 5 ½ NM from the western edge of the North Gate.
EWR/EWR SAT will provide 20 miles-in-trail departures via ELIOT.
