a. Vector aircraft by specifying:
1. Direction of turn, if appropriate, and magnetic heading to be flown, or
PHRASEOLOGY-
TURN LEFT/RIGHT HEADING (degrees).
FLY HEADING (degrees).
FLY PRESENT HEADING.
DEPART (fix) HEADING (degrees).
2. The number of degrees, in group form, to turn and the direction of turn, or
PHRASEOLOGY-
TURN (number of degrees) DEGREES LEFT/RIGHT.
3. For NO-GYRO procedures, the type of vector, direction of turn, and when to stop turn.
PHRASEOLOGY-
THIS WILL BE A NO-GYRO VECTOR,
TURN LEFT/RIGHT.
STOP TURN.
b. When initiating a vector, advise the pilot of the purpose.
PHRASEOLOGY-
VECTOR TO (fix or airway).
VECTOR TO INTERCEPT (name of NAVAID) (specified) RADIAL.
VECTOR FOR SPACING.
VECTOR TO FINAL APPROACH COURSE,
or if the pilot does not have knowledge of the type of
approach,
VECTOR TO (approach name ) FINAL APPROACH COURSE.
NOTE-
Determine optimum routing based on factors such as wind, weather, traffic, pilot requests, noise abatement, adjacent sector requirement, and letters of agreement.
c. Issue with the vector an altitude to maintain and all appropriate altitude restrictions when:
1. The vector will take the aircraft off an assigned procedure which contains altitude instructions, i.e., instrument approach, nonradar DP, FMSP, etc.
2. The previously issued clearance included crossing restrictions.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, ROUTE OR ALTITUDE AMENDMENTS, Para 4-2-5.
d. If appropriate, advise the pilot what to expect when the vector is completed.
PHRASEOLOGY-
EXPECT TO RESUME (Route, DP, STAR, FMSP, etc.).
NOTE-
You must ensure that the pilot is made aware if he is expected to resume a previously issued rout procedure.
e. Provide radar navigational guidance until the aircraft is:
1. Established within the airspace to be protected for the nonradar route to be flown, or
2. On a heading that will, within a reasonable distance, intercept the nonradar route to be flown, and
3. Informed of its position unless the aircraft is RNAV, FMS, or DME equipped and being vectored toward a VORTAC/TACAN or waypoint and within the service volume of the NAVAID.
PHRASEOLOGY-
(Position with respect to course/fix along route),
RESUME OWN NAVIGATION,
or
FLY HEADING (degrees). WHEN ABLE, PROCEED
DIRECT (name of fix),
or
RESUME (name/number FMSP/DP/transition/STAR/procedure).
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Chapter 4., Section 1. NAVAID USE LIMITATIONS.
f. Aircraft instructed to resume a procedure which contains restrictions (DP/STAR/FMSP, etc.) shall be issued/reissued all applicable restrictions or shall be advised to comply with those restrictions.
PHRASEOLOGY-
RESUME (name/number FMSP/DP/transition/STAR), COMPLY WITH RESTRICTIONS.
g. Aircraft vectored off an RNAV route shall be recleared to the next waypoint or as requested by the pilot.
h. During stage A operation, update the route of flight in the computer unless an operational advantage is gained and coordination is accomplished.
i. Inform the pilot when a vector will take the aircraft across a previously assigned nonradar route.
PHRASEOLOGY-
EXPECT VECTOR ACROSS (NAVAID radial)(airway/route/course) FOR (purpose).
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, APPLICATION, Para 7-6-1.
