APPENDIX A
Memorandum of Agreement Between
Department of Transportation Federal
Aviation Administration, and the U.S. Army,
the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force
(This Agreement provides for the provision of air traffic control services
between the FAA and the three military services as discussed in Chapter 2.)
WHEREAS, by virtue of Section 307(b)(4) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1348(b)(4)), the
Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (hereinafter referred to as the FAA) is authorized to provide
necessary facilities and personnel for the regulation and protection of air traffic.
WHEREAS, by virtue of Section 303(d) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1344(d)), the Administrator
of the FAA may make such provision as deemed appropriate authorizing, with its consent, the performance of any
function under Section 307(b) of the Act by any other Federal department; and
WHEREAS, there are three separate agreements now in effect between the FAA and the Army, Navy, and Air Force,
respectively, relating to the operation of air traffic control facilities on military installations; and
WHEREAS, all parties to the three existing agreements wish to supersede such agreements with this separate
agreement between the FAA and the three military services;
NOW, THEREFORE, all parties to this agreement mutually agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Determination of Operational Responsibility.
A. In keeping with requirements of national defense and with due regard for budgetary, manpower, and all other
pertinent considerations, the general allocation of responsibility for the operation of each military facility subject to
this agreement shall be mutually determined at the national level between the FAA and the appropriate military
service. To facilitate the determination of operational responsibility, recommendations concerning the operation of
air traffic control facilities will be made at the local level by appropriate FAA and military personnel.
B. Unless agreement is reached to the contrary, the military services shall provide airport traffic control service
(visual flight rules) at those military airports where the cognizant military authority deems that such service is
required and said airports are not served by an FAA, state, municipal, or other non-Federal tower.
C. When it is mutually agreed to be moreadvantageous to establish independent military and FAA approach control
facilities, the approach control authority for the military terminal area ordinarily will be delegated to the military.
Prior to approval by FAA of this delegation of authority, the military facility must be equipped to transmit and receive
onallfrequenciesnecessarytocontrolallcategoriesofIFRtrafficnormallyoperatinginthearea.Additionally,aletter
of agreement relating to the control of air traffic shall be consummated between the appropriate local military
authority and the appropriate FAA air route traffic control center.
D. The FAA is authorized to assign an ATREP to each military approach control facility covered in Article I,
Section C. The function of the ATREP is set out in detail in Article IV.

NAVAIR 00-80T-114
E. At all military locations not served by an ATREP, authorized FAA personnel may make evaluations of military
approach control facilities and those military towers and military ASR/PAR units that exchange control of air traffic
directly with FAA facilities. Theseevaluations areto beconducted atsuch timesas aremutually agreeableto theFAA
and the cognizant local military authority. The purpose of such evaluations is to determine whether equipment
performance and staffing are adequate for the service being provided; whether personnel qualifications, certification,
and performance meet acceptable standards; and, whether procedures utilized are consistent with the agreements
provided for in Article I.C and Article V. All deficiencies which may affect flight safety shall be reported to cognizant
military authority for timely corrective action.
F. Delegation of approach control authority may be temporarily suspended by a representative of the FAA area
manager or the ATREP if such action is deemed necessary in the interest of flight safety. The commanding officer
(or designated representative) of the affected military installation shall be notified prior to the time suspension action
is taken and informed of the reason(s) therefore.
G. Withdrawal of any delegation of authority covered by this agreement shall not be authorized prior to approval
of FAA and the appropriate military service at the national level.
ARTICLE II. FAA Operations on Military Installations.
A. Where mutually agreed, the FAA will provide exclusive air traffic control services and staffing on military
installations. Unless agreed to thecontrary, wherea military facility is located nearan FAA approach control facility,
the FAA will perform the approach control function from the FAA facility for both the military and nonmilitary
facilities.
B. At jointly staffed air traffic control facilities located on military installations, unless agreed to the contrary, the
FAA will staff the approach control (surveillance radar) function and the military service will staff and be responsible
for the PAR function.
C. The FAA shall have full authority and responsibility for the operation of its authorized functions.
D. The basic radar system approved for use in the radar approach control function is of the ASR type. Proposals for
useofradarsystemsotherthantheASRshallbesubmittedtotheWashingtonofficeoftheFAAforreview.Thisclause
shall not affect those terminal facilities currently utilizing other radar systems, nor is it intended to limit the use of
ARSR or other slower RPM systems to supplement ASR equipment.
ARTICLE III. Crosstraining at Jointly Staffed ATC Facilities.
In the best interest of the FAA and military services, it is essential that organized crosstraining be accomplished;
accordingly, crosstraining programs shall be implemented and training shall be conducted to the maximum extent
possible.
A. At the request of the responsible local military authority, the FAA will provide on-site approach control training
to designated military personnel. Qualification and training shall be carried out in accordance with FAA regulations
and procedures. Military personnel who successfully complete the training program and receive appropriate FAA
certificates and ratings are not required to maintain currency on approach control positions. However, qualified
military controllers, where current by FAA standards and military supervisors, may be assigned to approach control
positions without direct supervision.
B. At the request of the FAA facility air traffic manager, the appropriate military authority will provide on-site PAR
training to designated FAA personnel. Qualification and training shall be carried out in accordance with military
regulations and procedures. FAA personnel are not required to maintain currency on PAR positions. However,
qualified FAA controllers, when current by military standards and when agreeable to both military and FAA
supervisors, may be assigned to PAR control positions without direct supervision.

Significant disruptions to the FAA system may include, but are not limited to, loss of services resulting from power
failures, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires, civil disturbances, or personnel absenteeism. Personnel absenteeism
may be because of epidemics, walkouts, “sickouts,” illegal strikes, and the like. A significant disruption is considered
tobeapeacetimesituation,shortofnationalemergency,wheretheoperationalcapabilityofoneormoreFAAARTCC
areas to provide required services is seriously reduced. In the past, the absence of a coordinated Navy/Marine Corps
plan to be used in the event of disruptions in the ATC system has necessitated a concentration of decision making
disruptions. The intent of this contingency plan is to decentralize authority by delegating contingency actions to the
lowest echelons capable of carrying out the required actions and making appropriate decisions.
E.1.3 Assumptions
The following assumptions form the basis on which this contingency plan is formulated:
1. The FAA will maintain primary cognizance for overall management of the ATC system.
2. At least 30 percent of the ATC system will remain functional.
3. Military ATC facilities and services will be fully available.
4. A national emergency will be declared if the FAA ATC system becomes nonoperational (i.e., greater than
70-percent loss of capability).
5.
14 CFR will not be waived in situations less than a national emergency.
E.2
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Associate Administrator for Air Traffic will determine that a significant disruption has occurred and will so notify
the NMCC which will, in turn, notify the headquarters of the individual military services. The Air Traffic Control
System Command Center (ATCSCC) in Herndon, Virginia will provide centralized direction of the ATC systems.
Upon notification of a significant disruption, CNO will take action to cooperate with the FAA by reducing IFR
operations in areas affected by the disruption while maintaining overall continuity of naval air operations to the
maximum extent possible. The basic elements of the general plan are:
1. Upon notification that the ATCSCC Air Traffic Services Cell has been activated, CNO (N885F) will ensure
that one Navy or Marine Corps officer is on duty at the ATCSCC at all times forthe duration of thedisruption.
The functions of this officer are:
a. Act as liaison between FAA headquarters and CNO/CMC action officers.
b. Attend to the interests of naval aviation as they may be affected by events occurring in the ATCSCC Air
Traffic Services Cell.
c. Keep interested offices within CNO and CMC apprised of significant events.

NAVAIR 00-80T-114
2.
CNO (N885F) will notify all naval aviation commands of the nature and extent of the disruption and direct
compliance with this contingency plan.
3.
Naval aviation shore facilities shall activate local contingency plans to minimize effects of ATC disruptions
on naval air operations.
4.
Operational commanders shall:
a. Reduce IFR operations in affected areas to those operations specified below (areas affected will be specified
in CNO notification message).
(1) Active air defense missions and active antisubmarine warfare missions.
(2) Flights in support of combat operations or forces.
(3) Flights in support of peacetime emergency plans.
(4) Flights involving safety of lives or property (e.g., search and rescue, air evacuation, hurricane
evacuation, airlift forces in support of domestic crises, etc.).
(5) Flights supporting important peacetime service, joint or unified/specified command exercises or
missions.
(6) Other flights specifically approved by one of the following commanders or higher authority:
(a) Naval Air Force Commanders.
(b) Chief of Naval Air Training.
(c) Marine Corps Air Wing Commanders.
(d) Fleet Marine Force Commanders.
(e) Commander, Naval Air Systems Command.
(f) Commander, Naval Air Force Reserve.
b. Institute flow control procedures to smooth IFR traffic in affected areas (e.g., shift operations where
possible to times of low traffic density such as at night or early morning hours).
c. Conduct flights in accordance with VFRs in affected areas if feasible.
d. Reroute IFR flights to avoid affected areas if possible.
e. Use MARSA in affected areas, if feasible.
5.
Aircraft commanders shall list the words “military priority” in the remarks section of the flight plan for all IFR
flights, any part of which will be conducted in affected areas. “Military priority” signifies that the flight falls
into one of the categories set forth in subparagraph 4.a. of paragraph E.2.
6.
Active air defense interceptor missions and active antisubmarine warfare missions are vital to national defense
and are given priority over all other military and civil aircraft by procedural handling by ATC for the particular
operationsasspecifiedincoordinatedagreementsorauthorizations.ATCservicesshallbeprovidedto allother
“military priority” flights in affected areas on a first come, first served basis.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
As need dictates, commanding officers of naval aviation shore facilities may cancel leave for military ATC personnel,
recall military personnel on annual leave, and extend the length of the work day and work week.
FAA may redeploy air traffic coordinators, air traffic representatives, regional, area, and facility ATC personnel to
those facilities most affected by disruption. However, FAA ATC personnel may not be redeployed by FAA from
military facilities without the concurrence of the military commanders.
E.4
COORDINATING ACTION REQUIRED
To support this plan, commanding officers having ATC facilities under their cognizance shall coordinate with
appropriate local/regional FAA ATC officials and/or nearby military commanders to develop local contingency plans
(e.g., letters of agreement or procedure) for use in the event of disruptions to ATC service affecting the military
facility. Appropriate contingency actions might include:
1. Between the military airfield(s) and international airspace, designation of egress and ingress corridors within
which the military would assume responsibility for separation between military traffic.
2. Designation of blocks of special use airspace for exclusive military use within which the military would
assume responsibility for separation of aircraft.
3. Increasing the area of jurisdiction for which approach control service has been delegated to military facilities.
4. Delegationofauthoritytomilitaryapproachcontrolfacilitiestoprovideserviceforairfieldsnormallyprovided
such service by FAA facilities. Example: NAS Propbase is normally provided approach control service by
Libertytown FAA approach control. NAS Jetbase, which is 15 miles from NAS Propbase, has its own military
approach control facility. A local contingency plan might provide for NAS Jetbase to supply approach control
service to NAS Propbase and Libertytown Municipal Airport in the event of a disruption to FAA provided
services.
5. In joint FAA/military facilities, assignment of approximately crosstrained military personnel to operating
positions normally filled by FAA personnel.

APPENDIX I
Minimum Vectoring Altitude Chart
(For use in the preparation, review and approval of Minimum Vectoring
Altitude Charts as discussed in Chapter 7)
I.1
AREA OF CONSIDERATION
The area considered for obstacle clearance shall be the maximum range of the primary radar, except for GCA
facilities, in which the distance may be limited to the maximum range the facility is expected to vector aircraft. This
area may be subdivided into sectors as necessary to gain relief from obstacles. There is no prescribed limit on the
size, shape, or orientation of the sectors; however, they must be designed in consideration of aircraft maneuvering
ability, obstacle clearance requirements, and air traffic flow requirements. Vectoring charts should be designed to
emphasize simplicity and safety in radar traffic control applications.
I.2
OBSTACLE CLEARANCE
Obstacle clearance shall be provided over all obstacles within the vectoring area/segments and within a 3-mile
(5 miles at distances greater than 40 miles from the antenna) buffer area surrounding the area/segments. Apply
1,000 feet ofobstacleclearancein areas and 2,000 feet in areas designated as mountainous in theFLIP. MVAs should
provide at least 300 feet above the floor of controlled airspace. Include a rationale if selected altitudes do not provide
300 feet above the controlled airspace floor. Resultant altitudes are rounded up to the nearest 100 feet, i.e., 1,101 feet
shall become 1,200 feet.
Where lower MVAs are required in designated mountainous areas to achieve compatibility with terminal routes or
to permit vectoring to an instrument approach procedure, 1,000 feet of obstacle clearance may be used.
I.3
PREPARATION
1.
Minimum Vectoring Altitude Charts should be drawn on an appropriate topographical chart. An aeronautical
sectional chart is the preferred method since controlled airspace is included on the chart. However, where four
or less sectors can be identified, the compass rose diagram on theREQUEST/APPROVAL form may beused.
2.
Center the MVA chart on the ASR antenna site, even if other NAVAIDS are used to describe sectors.
3.
Segment the chart into areas as required by the different minimum vectoring altitudes. Configuration of the
segments will vary with local terrain and operational considerations. Use the following methods as applicable:
(See Figure I-1 for an example chart.)
a. Describe the segments by using magnetic bearings from the radar antenna site and radar display range marks
or by radials or radials and arcs from VOR/TACAN/VORTACs.
b. To facilitate correlation between vectoring charts and radar displays, make segment boundaries coincident
or compatible with map overlay or video map data.
c. Make each sector large enough to accommodate vectoring of aircraft. In some cases, it may be desirable
to combine adjoining smaller areas having different altitudes into a single large area with one altitude.
d. Establish segment boundaries at least 3 miles (5 miles at distances greater than 40 miles from the antenna)
from the obstruction determining the minimum vector altitude.
e. To avoid a large area with an excessively high minimum vectoring altitude because of an isolated prominent
obstruction, enclose the obstruction with a buffer of at least 3 miles (5 miles at distances greater than
40 miles from the antenna) from the obstruction. Do this to facilitate vectoring around the obstruction.
I-1
ORIGINAL
NAVAIR 00-80T-114
f. Determine the minimum IFR vectoring altitude in each area by applying paragraph I.2.
Note
Minimum vectoring altitudes are established irrespective of the flight
checked radar coverage in the sector concerned. They are based on
obstruction clearance criteria only. It is the responsibility of the controller
to determine that a target return is adequate for radar control purposes.
g. Ensure that an assumed 200-foot mast height is applied to MVA computations for those sectors overlaying
designated shipping lanes.
h. An MVA established outside of controlled airspace will be so noted and will consider obstacle clearance
only.
i. Ensurethat minimum vectoring altitudes arecompatible with vectoring altitudes established forassociated
radar instrument approach procedures.
j. Depict the segment identification and the minimum vectoring altitude in each segment.
k. Complete the Minimum Vectoring Altitude Chart Computations sheet (Figure I-2).
4.
Develop Terminal MVACs to support radar data being provided by a feed from a single ASR/DASR or to
support thedesignated terminal areaofamulti-sensor“mosaic”systemwhen theareaisadapted toexclusively
utilize a single terminal radar.
5.
Develop Long Range MVACs to support those systems where radar data is provided by a feed from one or
moreARSRs,orafeedfrommorethanoneterminal radar,orformulti-sensor“mosaic”systems (e.g.STARS).
