1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 3-9-4. TAXI INTO POSITION AND HOLD (TIPH)

2. BACKGROUND: The use of safety logic systems as a sole source for issuing landing clearances in conjunction with TIPH was reviewed by the Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service. It was determined that safety logic systems, as a sole source for preventing runway collisions or incursions, removed the pilot from the safety equation. The conclusion of this review resulted in the stipulation of ceiling and visibility restrictions which allow the pilot to perform a critical role in runway safety by direct observation of the landing environment and thereby providing an extra layer of safety to this critical phase of flight.

1. Landing clearance need not be withheld if the safety logic system is operating in full core alert runway configuration.		1. Landing clearance must be withheld if the safety logic system is inoperative or in limited configuration or conditions are less than reported ceiling 800 feet or visibility less than 2 miles.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 3-10-5. LANDING CLEARANCE

2. BACKGROUND: The use of safety logic systems as a sole source for multiple landing clearances was reviewed by the Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service. It was determined that safety logic systems, as a sole source for preventing runway collisions or incursions, removed the pilot from the safety equation. The conclusion of this review resulted in the stipulation of ceiling and visibility restrictions which allow the pilot to perform a critical role in runway safety by direct observation of the landing environment and thereby providing an extra layer of safety to this critical phase of flight.

1. PARAGRAPH NUMBER AND TITLE: 9-2-10. LAND-BASED AIR DEFENSE IDENTIFICATION ZONE (ADIZ) ATC PROCEDURES

2. BACKGROUND: For several years, the Air Traffic Organization has supported national defense initiatives in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Air Defense Identification Zone (DC ADIZ). In accordance with national directives, this change prescribes standardized procedures for handling aircraft in all locations where security services are required and establishes approved communication for security tracking of aircraft in security services airspace.

9-2-10. LAND-BASED AIR DEFENSE IDENTIFICATION ZONE (ADIZ) ATC PROCEDURES		9-2-10. LAND-BASED AIR DEFENSE IDENTIFICATION ZONE (ADIZ)/AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC) SECURITY SERVICES
TERMINAL		No Change
Add		Provide ATC security services at locations where procedures are required for the tracking of aircraft in security services airspace. ATC security services are designed to support the national security mission of the FAA and other agencies. Two-way radio communications, flight planning, and operational transponder on an assigned code are required for operations within the designated area.
a. Verify, by direct observation or pilot confirmation, IFR and VFR flight operations entering, exiting, or transitioning the ADIZ meet all of the following minimum conditions:		a. When the assigned code is observed, advise the aircraft to proceed on course/as requested but to remain outside of Class B, C, and/or D airspace as appropriate.
Add		PHRASEOLOGY- (ACID) TRANSPONDER OBSERVED PROCEED ON COURSE/AS REQUESTED; REMAIN OUTSIDE (CLASS) AIRSPACE.
1. Two-way radio communications are maintained at all times prior to entering and throughout transition of the ADIZ. Aircraft operating in an airport traffic pattern or landing at nontowered airports are exempt from the ATC communication requirement, provided they monitor the airport common traffic advisory frequency.		1. Maintain continuous security tracking of VFR aircraft operating within the designated area to assist security forces in situational awareness. Immediately report all instances of loss of radio communication or the inability to conduct security tracking of an aircraft to the FLM/CIC and await instructions.
2. Aircraft is equipped with an operating transponder with automatic altitude reporting capability. Aircraft is squawking an ATC assigned discrete beacon code, with altitude, at all times. Do not allow an aircraft to cancel its flight plan and/or squawk VFR while in the ADIZ.		2. The provision of basic separation services to aircraft, i.e., IFR, SVFR, Class B, Class C, TRSA, is not applicable to ATC security tracking.
3. Aircraft with operating transponders, but without operating Mode C (altitude) require specific authorization from ATC in order to operate within the ADIZ. ATC must coordinate with the Domestic Events Network (DEN) prior to approval.		No Change
4. Aircraft flying too low for radar coverage shall be instructed to report landing or exiting the ADIZ. Maintain flight progress strips on such aircraft until pilot reports landing or exiting the ADIZ. If a flight progress strip does not exist for the aircraft, record the call sign, transponder code, entry point (e.g., north, northeast, east), and time of entry into the ADIZ.		No Change
*PHRASEOLOGY-* (Call sign), REPORT LANDING OR LEAVING THE ADIZ.		No Change
5. United States Military, law enforcement, and aeromedical flights are exempt from filing flight plans.		No Change
b. Pilots unable to comply with the requirements of subpara a, above, shall be instructed to remain clear of or exit the ADIZ as appropriate. When equipment failure involving transponder or Mode C is experienced, and the aircraft is operating within the ADIZ, the pilot may be permitted to land. An operation such as this may be permissible when it is more expedient than exiting the ADIZ and no additional security risk is evident.		b. Establishing Two-Way Communications.
*NOTE-* Specific operations may be exempted, waivered, or verbally granted by the appropriate authority establishing the ADIZ.		Delete
Add		1. Pilots must establish two-way radio communications with ATC prior to entering the security service area. Responding to a radio call with, “(a/c call sign) standby,” establishes radio communications and the pilot may enter the area, provided all other security requirements have been satisfied.
Add		2. Aircraft requesting security services should not normally be held. However, if holding is necessary or workload/traffic conditions prevent immediate provision of ATC security services, inform the pilot to remain outside the designated area until conditions permit the provision of ATC security services. Inform the pilot of the expected length of delay.
Add		PHRASEOLOGY- (A/C CALL SIGN) REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE (location) AND STANDBY. EXPECT (time) MINUTES DELAY.
Add		c. Termination of Service.
Add		1. If the aircraft is not landing within the designated area, provide security services until the aircraft exits the area and then advise the aircraft to squawk VFR and that frequency change is approved.
Add		PHRASEOLOGY- SQUAWK VFR, FREQUENCY CHANGE APPROVED. or CONTACT (facility identification).
Add		2. When an aircraft is landing at an airport inside the area, instruct the pilot to remain on the assigned transponder code until after landing.
Add		PHRASEOLOGY- (ACID) REMAIN ON YOUR ASSIGNED TRANSPONDER CODE UNTIL YOU LAND, FREQUENCY CHANGE APPROVED.
Add		3. Using approved handoff functionality, transfer the data blocks of all security tracked aircraft that will enter another sector/position for coordination of aircraft information/location. Upon acceptance of the transferred information, instruct the pilot to contact the next sector/positions' frequency.
