NBAA: Reminder About Climb and Descent Performance and Transponder Usage

The NBAA has informed ANN that the FAA's New York TRACON has published a Letter to Airmen (LTA) 04-01, entitled "Climb and Descent Performance and Transponder Usage."

Recently, there have been several incidents where less-than-standard separation between aircraft occurred as a result of an aircraft's non-standard climb/descent rate performance, non-activation of transponder equipment or incorrect beacon code selected on departure.

Particularly within New York Approach Control airspace, where there exists a continuous high volume of traffic in complex airspace, it is essential that information concerning aircraft performance is clearly communicated and those procedures for the operation of transponder equipment be closely followed.

In an effort to eliminate similar events, LTA 04-01 serves as a reminder to the aviation community of Aeronautical Information Manual-related paragraphs, which are used as a basis to separate aircraft by air traffic control personnel.
