Does CIS provide any procedural separation with SIDs/STARs/other traffic by chance? Or is it just something you hear being used a lot? Would be good to include some information about why to issue the clearance limit.

[llamavert]

It is pretty much used every time for arrivals northbound over water, it's location allows tower to issue holds if jets are inbound while not infringing on any SIDs or STARs at any point. It's mainly used for when runway 14 is in use as most of the time if it isn't busy and runway 32 is in use, tower will just clear aircraft @ HASS for the visual approach.

Ok great, thanks. Also, I'm assuming VFR departures normally just depart a leg of the circuit into class G?

[llamavert]

Yeah, mostly tracking south to the training area into class G

[mattkelly4]

@llamavert is an explicit airways clearance given (cleared to XXXX, not above A015) for VFR departures into class G, or is it just a takeoff clearance after reporting ready for an upwind departure, etc?

[llamavert]

For VFR departures into Class G yes I'm pretty sure that an explicit airways clearance is given, however for stuff like parachuting and training area flights from memory it's something along the lines of "Cleared standard drops, squawk 1234" likewise for VFR departures into Class G to the training area "Cleared to the training area, squawk 1234"

Yeah for stuff like PJE ops, its usually associated with a letter of agreement between the PJE company and ATC, that may involve a coded clearance that implies a clearance to operate in a certain area, certain radius, certain levels, etc etc. Obviously something we won't be simulating online

@llamavert some really great work here, thanks for putting this together. I'm happy with everything, just want to clarify a few points (see comments).
