Anchorage ARTCC (ZAN) UpdateAnchorage ARTCC - Space Launch

ActivitiesCurrently, one Commercial Space Launch facility is located within the PAZA FIR. This facility, named “Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska” or PSCA is located on Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska.



Anchorage ARTCC (ZAN) UpdateAnchorage ARTCC - Space Launch

Activities

Six Launches from PSCA are planned for 2020, but specific dates (and impacted airspace) have not yet been coordinated.

PSCA activity is expected to increase to seven launches in 2021 and up to thirty-six launches in 2022.

AIDC - “AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES INTERFACILITY DATA COMMUNICATIONS”

AIDC – an automated process that accomplishes required ATC facility to ATC facility flight coordination. AIDC replaces the controller’s manual coordination process whereby flights are coordinated (transferred) between ATC facilities via ground to ground telephone calls. AIDC assumes the controller’s high value / low complexity coordination task and eliminates human induced errors such as missed or delayed coordination and flight data corruption.

Anchorage ARTCC and Magadan ACC initiated an AIDC trial on January 17, 2018. While generally successful, with more than 98% of messages successfully exchanged, this trial has been extended through September 2020 to permit further modifications to be made to ATC systems software. While transparent to airspace users, the use of AIDC greatly reduces workload allowing the air traffic controller to allocate more time to tasks such as analyzing, and hopefully approving, altitude and/or routing change requests.

ARCTIC CTA/FIR IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:

A. COMMUNICATIONS.

1. ALL FLTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE ENTERING THE FIR

EASTBOUND OVER PILUN OR LISKI, MUST MAKE MANDATORY POSITION REPORTS

UPON ENTERING THE CTA/FIR VIA CPDLC OR GANDER HF VOICE. PILUN AND

LISKI TFC REPORT VIA VHF AS DIRECTED OR VIA CPDLC.

2. ALL FLTS MUST MAINTAIN A LISTENING WATCH ON THE CURRENT GANDER HF

RADIO FREQUENCY WHILE TRANSITING THE CTA/FIR UNLESS A SATISFACTORY

SELCAL CHECK HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH GANDER RADIO.
