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.

Thanks for that Missy. When you say speeds as per the label, do your procedures stipulate a minimum IAS that APP should use to ensure that FD has some flexibility e.g. 210kts or is that left totally open to interpretation?

Yeh, finally. Just trying to tidy things up for your imminent return. Brown envelope in the mail.
