Questions for Sydney controllers

[bekolblockage]

Just a few questions relating to the operation of Final Director in Sydney.

1. Does Director have a defined sector of airspace (lateral and vertical limits)with boundaries displayed on the screen?

2. Do you hand off label jurisdiction from APP to FD?

3. Are there standard hand-off levels, speeds and minimum spacing for silent hand-off or are they modified and coordinated between APP and FD as required?

Thanks in advance for any info.
