GM1 ATS.TR.230(a)(3)(i) Transfer of
responsibility for control
ED Decision 2020/008/R
COORDINATION
OF STANDARD CLEARANCES FOR ARRIVING AIRCRAFT
(a) Wherever possible, the air traffic services providers concerned should establish standardised procedures for transfer of control between the air traffic control units concerned and standard clearances for arriving aircraft.
(b) Where standard clearances for arriving aircraft are in use and, provided no terminal delay is expected, clearance to follow the appropriate standard instrumental arrival (STAR) will normally be issued by the ACC without prior coordination with or approval from the approach control unit or the aerodrome control tower, as applicable.
(c) Prior coordination of clearances should be required only in the event that a variation to the standard clearance or the standardised transfer of control procedures is necessary or desirable for operational reasons.
(d) Provision should be made to:
(1) ensure that the approach control unit is at all times kept informed of the sequence of aircraft following the same STAR; and
(2) display the designators of assigned STARs to the ACC, the approach control unit and/or the aerodrome control tower, as applicable.
