Michael Smith Posted August 7, 2007 at 09:01 PM Posted August 7, 2007 at 09:01 PM when I was flying KATL-KPHL (great ATC from both) I looked at FSnav and it showed PHL in DC Center, I then was on Vroute and it showed it in DC Center as well, but DC Center was not online and NY Center was serving pilots into KPHL so what center is KPHL in Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Levy 976130 Posted August 7, 2007 at 09:03 PM Posted August 7, 2007 at 09:03 PM KPHL is in New York (ZNY) Center. Not sure why it says its DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Alston 812154 Posted August 8, 2007 at 01:07 AM Posted August 8, 2007 at 01:07 AM KPHL is in New York (ZNY) Center. Not sure why it says its DC. The FSNav display is correct, PHL airport does sit inside the DC Center boundary, and controlled by PHL Tracon. I guess on Vatsim they have worked it out that NY Center covers it in the absence of PHL_APP. Regards. Ernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Grchan 925585 Posted August 8, 2007 at 01:10 AM Posted August 8, 2007 at 01:10 AM The PHL tracon is under the ZNY ARTCC. Therefore it is controlled bu ZNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward McCoy 904185 Posted August 8, 2007 at 03:34 AM Posted August 8, 2007 at 03:34 AM The PHL tracon is under the ZNY ARTCC. Therefore it is controlled bu ZNY. Actually the Tracon is under DQO 18 and OOD 19 which are ZDC sectors.. But of course it's just an LOA that I guess was agreed upon a few years ago. Edward J.

James Hudson 951027 Posted August 8, 2007 at 05:17 AM Posted August 8, 2007 at 05:17 AM No, PHL is a NY Airport. The Tracon Coordinates insync with the N90 NY Tracon. It's half under NY and half DC, Same goes with Long Island NY, Boston Covers it, but the N90 Tracon is still a NY Tracon. For example, ISP HVN all NY airports, but ZBW Boston, lies above it. PHL is a NY Airport NY T R A C O N A R T C C. JFK ISP LGA EWR PHL...
