Chapter 2 - South control

2.1 Area of Responsibillity

South control (LLSC_CTR) is the south sector of LLLL FIR, covering from the south line of TMA LLBG down until Eilat city. 
Also in this sector are seven AF bases and a few un-controlled airstrips. The sector is going from ground level to unlimited (If mil-certefied, if not until FL370).

The sector splits mainly into Flights over the ATS route (mainly at the J10 airway etc.) Which the parent unit as showen above is LLSC_CTR

2.2.2 Route restrictions

Due to a high amount of traffic in the vicinity of the south sector, most of the airways are limited to the upper limit of FL370 and the lower limit of 5000 to 6000ft.

2.2.2 ATS controlling restrictions

Due to a small maneuver area within the J10 corridor, the controller may not vector any traffic; instead, the controller MAY give direct toward any FIX over the route/sector.
Vectors shall be the last resort in any situation for IFR traffic

2.2.2 Initial Route Clearance and transfer of control (IFR)

South control shall issue route clearance (including STARs) in accordance with GEN 1.1. See Annex A for a list of
STARs.
