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

2.1.1 Sector Frequency

South control is operating on 120.900

2.2 General Operating Procedures

2.2.1 Common ATS traffic routing

The main traffic is either northbound or southboundsouthbound, with little to nonno east\east-westbound. The traffic is normally passingpasses through the J10 airway,airway. inIn the sector are some shortcuts which may be approvenapproved onunder the following conditions

Remark: The bold identification may indicate the most prefebalepreferred shortcuts for traffic managmentmanagement

2.2.2 Route restrictions

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

2.2.2 ControllingATS over ATScontrolling restrictions

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