Rarotonga Enroute

Enroute

  • NCRG_CTR "Rarotonga Control" on 118.900
    • Limits: 5,500ft to FL245, with the lateral bounds indicated as above. Roughly 340nm by 260nm.
    • Provides an Enroute radar service within its' lateral bounds.
    • Additionally acts as the Enroute interface between NCRG_APP and NZZO FSS.
    • Provides a top-down service to NCRG when NCRG_APP is offline.

TMA

  • NCRG_APP "Rarotonga Tower" on 118.100
    • Limits: There are three layers to NCRG_APP's area of responsibility:
      • A circle of 30nm diameter centered on RG VOR from SFC to 5,500ft.
      • A circle of 50nm diameter centered on RG VOR from 5,500ft to 9,500ft.
      • A circle of 70nm diameter centered on RG VOR from 9,500ft to 14,500ft.
    • Provides a combined Approach/Tower service for NCRG.

Wait, another Approach station with a Tower callsign?

Similar to NFTF_APP, we've had to implement this position with a _APP suffix, as the FSD restricts _TWR callsigns to a visibility range of 50nm.
