Philadelphia Showing Up in ZDC

Philadelphia (KPHL) shows up under ZDC Washington when it's actually in ZNY New York. This shows misleading traffic for ZDC.

Because it should be in the proper ARTCC. It shows 35 planes for ZDC when 15 of those are in ZNY, which leads pilots to call up Washington Center for clearance from PHL. Would make it a lot more convenient.

My Current Hi Enroute Chart H9/H10 shows KPHL about 10nm inside DC Airspace, not NY. Not sure how accurate these are supposed to be, but this is not one downloaded off a website. It's the actual chart that I purchased and can be used for RW navigation.

The high altitude boundary wouldn't apply since that shows airspace above FL180, however the low chart shows the same. However the A/FD published by the FAA credits ZNY as the controlling ARTCC.

I regret we follow simple geometry, not manuals. If an airport is geometrically within an ARTCC, it will show there.

 

I'd rather not make manual corrections such as "Philadelphia always in ZNY", because it would affect aircraft on the ground - and as soon as they depart they would come up in the geometrically correct area.

Not quite...considering Philadelphia TRACON (which is part of the New York ARTCC) owns up to 13000' in some areas and up 12000' in other. And depending if they're going North or South out of the Philadelphia TRACON, to the North is NY_CTR, and to the South is DC_CTR.

I only have one ARTCC sector boundary, no differentiation by altitude.
