About This File
This manual is for controllers of London Area Control (LAC), London Terminal Control (LTC) and Manchester Prestwick Control (MPC) sectors and contains specific and local procedures relevant to these sectors. In addition, relevant information regarding the handling of traffic at airfields that may be covered top-down by VATSIM controllers is also included.
Controllers must be familiar with controlling procedures in the UK; this manual should be read in conjunction with MATS Part 1 (CAP 493) and guidance on standard UK Radiotelephony phraseology, detailed in CAP 413.
