CENTER AND CHARLOTTE ATC TOWER  \nLETTER OF AGREEMENT  \nSUBJECT: APPPROACH CONTROL SERVICE EFFECTIVE: August 16, 2018  \n1. PURPOSE: To delegate authority and responsibility for approach control services in the airspace described in Annex 1 and to outline interfacility procedures supplemental to the Air Traffic Control Order.  \n2. CANCELLATION: ZTL and CLT Letter of Agreement dated Janury 5, 2017.  \n3. RESPONSIBILITIES: ZTL delegates to CLT authority and responsibility for control of IFR aircraft operations within the delegated airspace described in Annex 1.  \n4. PROCEDURES: ZTL and CLT will transition arrivals and departures via the Arrival Transition Areas (ATA's) and Departure Transition Areas (DTA's) depicted in Annex 1. Departures from Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (KCLT) and satellite airports must be established on the appropriate departure procedure prior to the ZTL/CLT airspace boundary to ensure aircraft transition within the confines ofthe DTA. This procedure must be utilized for departures with requested altitudes of 11,000 feet and above.  \na. Arrivals:  \n(1) The Transfer of Control Point (TCP) will be the common ZTL/CLT lateral boundary and vertical confines ofCLT airspace.  \n(2) ZTL must provide CLT arrivals a minimum of 5 miles in trail and published speeds at the ZTL/CLT lateral boundary unless otherwise coordinated. CLT has control for speed increases on arrivals.  \n(3) CLT will not reverse, hold or climb an arrival within an ATA without ZTL approval.  \n(4) CLT will transition arrivals into CLT delegated airspace prior to the adjacent ZTL sector boundary.  \n(5) When notified that holding is required, ZTL will clear subsequent arrivals to the appropriate arrival transition fix depicted in Annex 1. CLT must accept any aircraft inside the arrival transition fix at the time holding is required.  \n(6) The airspace inside the ATA, 11,000-16,000 feet as depicted on Annex 1, is released to ZTL in the event of holding or ifCLT does not accept ahandoff by 3 NM from the TCP.  \n(7) ZTL will clear turbojet and turboprop arrivals to KCLT via the appropriate Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) and ensure all aircraft are established on the appropriate routings prior to the TCP. Prop arrivals may remain on filed routings. All CLT terminal area arrivals must be cleared to cross the arrival transition fix (or TCP for prop arrivals not on STAR) in accordance with the following routes and altitudes.  \n(8) Turbojets arrivals to KCLT must be cleared as follows:  \n\n| Optimized Profile Descent (OPD) STAR operations: ZTL must issue landing direction. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1. Altitude and speed depicted for the appropriate STAR based upon runway configuration.\u003Cbr>a. ZTL will ensure appropriate coordination with CLT for all cases of aircraft on an OPD STAR NOT issued a \"descend via\" clearance.\u003Cbr>b. ZTL must initiate handoff and communication transfer to CLT prior to the TCP to facilitate issuance of a runway assignment in a timely manner.\u003Cbr>c.

Aircraft are expected to be at these prescribed altitudes to meet appropriate CLT OPD windows. Special consideration will be made for high-performance aircraft. The CLT OPD windows are:  \nA.
