Hybrid = Vectors + RNAV
IFR (RNAV) Example:
Cleared to Atlanta Intl Airport via the ESTRR# departure, GANTS transition, then as filed. Climb and maintain 8000, Expect FL350 10 minutes after departure. Departure frequency 122.8, squawk 2001.
If no RNAV departure is useable you can use Charlotte SID, Kermit SID, or Knights SID, and instruct aircraft to expect radar vectors to first fix.
Example:
Cleared to Atlanta Intl airport via the KERMIT departure, radar vectors HAMLN, then as filed. Climb and Maintain 8000, expect FL350 10 minutes after departure. Departure frequency 122.8, squawk 1234.
via Aurora or 2001-2777
Charlotte Douglas International Airport is surrounded by class B airspace. Aircraft entering class B airspace VFR require a clearance in accordance with 7110.65 Chapter 7, section 9-2.
VFR Deaprture Example:
Cleared out of the Charlotte class bravo airspace, maintain VFR at or below 2500 until further advised. Departure frequency 122.8. Squawk 1201.
VFR Local Pattern Example:
Cleared into the Charlotte class bravo airspace, pattern altitude 1800, expect left closed traffic runway 18L, squawk 1201.
Ground is responsible for all movement areas.
Air cargo is located in the center of the field at taxiways A5 and A6.
Arriving GA traffic and private jets shall be routed to park at the general aviation ramp located at D4 and D5, south of the Air National Guard (ANG) ramp.
When requesting a runway crossing from TWR, specify the runway and the point at which crossing will occur, using the format of "Cross (rwy) at (intersection)?". Callsign is not required.
TWR's approval is only valid for one aircraft to cross as specified.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport is facilitated with ASDE–X (Ground Radar). Pilots are required to operate transponders on mode 'active'.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport airport is surrounded by class B airspace. Aircraft operating in class B airspace receive services as outlined in 7110.65 Chapter 7, section 9.
North Ops
South Ops
North Ops:
DEPARTURES: 36C, 36R
ARRIVALS: 36L, 36R
South Ops:
DEPARTURES: 18L, 18C
ARRIVALS: 18L, 18R
Simultaneous Departures are authorized for runways 18L/36R and 18C/36C.
Aircraft departing simultaneous must fly divergent courses. Example: Aircraft departing east sent to runway 36R, aircraft departing west sent to runway 36C
ATIS remarks should read "Simultaneous departures in use."
Aircraft should be advised to climb and maintain 4000', fly runway heading, and handed off to the approach or center controller if available.
VFR aircraft shall transition over KCLT midfield eastbound or westbound at 4500ft MSL.These aircraft will be under Air Traffic Control of the overlying facility (APP or CTR)
Charlotte APP also serves the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (KJQF). Runway assignments will be instructed on initial contact. Standard ATIS settings listed below. Note the exception if using simultaneous depatures for runways 18L/36R and 18C/36C.
