===== Notes =====
* While it is recommended that aircraft be rerouted to comply with turbojet and props only departure gates, it is not required.
* ZIMMZ is for use by RNAV equipped turbojet aircraft only.
* For aircraft using DIXIE or WHITE as their exit, change the route to read as ''ELVAE NECCK DIXIE'' or ''ELVAE NECCK WHITE'', respectively. 
* BREZY is only a valid exit if either followed by ''V39 CMK GREKI/MERIT/BAYYS/BDR'', or when the destination is within the LaGuardia sector of N90 (i.e. LGA, HPN or DXR).
* SHIPP and WAVEY are only used for EWR and TEB departures.
* When using PORTT# departure, the scratchpad entries for BIGGY, LANNA, PARKE and ELIOT should be PBY, PLA, PPE and PET, respectively
* RNAV equipped aircraft are aircraft with the equipment suffix /Z, /L, /Y, /I ,/V, /S OR /G.

The table lists the common frequencies used as departure frequency by EWR Clearance Delivery. The first available controller in this list should be handling departures.

Note that this table only serves as a guide. The actual departure frequency has to be determined based on coordination with the other online controllers since the combination of DEP and/or APP sectors is allowed.

If the aircraft is an East Gate, SHIPP, or WAVEY departure, and EWR DEP is offline, but LGA DEP and EWR TWR are online or covered by another controller, departure frequency will be 120.400 (or the frequency of whichever position is covering LGA DEP).

If there is no other controller online that would accept departures from EWR, a departure frequency should not be provided. Instead, inform aircraft "Departure offline" as part of their clearance. When leaving your jurisdiction simply inform the aircraft "change to advisory frequency approved."

===LDJ Departures===
; Introduction
Linden (LDJ) is a non-towered airport in close proximity to Newark. Since it is a non-towered airport, the Clearance Delivery position at Newark issues IFR clearances to aircraft departing Linden, using the same exits as other Newark satellites. When checking the PRD for routes, use KTEB as the departure airport first. If no routes are available, try KEWR. The following sections detail how to handle these aircraft.

; Initial Contact
When an aircraft calls for an IFR clearance out of LDJ, ensure you do the following:
* Ask the aircraft for their requested runway for departure.
* Inform the pilot that the clearance is on request and to standby (as long as the clearance still needs to be reviewed and/or additional coordination is required).
* If the pilot requests departure from Runway 9, you '''must''' request a direction of turn from EWR DEP.


; The Clearance
Once you have reviewed the clearance as you would for any aircraft out of TEB/EWR and coordinated with EWR DEP as needed, inform the aircraft that their clearance is ready.
*Like other EWR satellites, all aircraft filing for GREKI, MERIT, BAYYS, CMK, or BDR should be rerouted via BREZY V39 CMK, direct to the exit point, then as filed. For aircraft without charts, use BREZY direct CMK direct exit point.

*Provide the clearance as usual. However, instead of the EWR4 departure, the aircraft will be given the following instructions for departure and to hold for release at the end:
{{phraseology|syntax=Cleared to ______, via enter controlled airspace heading 290, radar vectors (exit fix) (route). Maintain 2,000' … Hold for release.}}

*If Runway 9 is requested, use the following phraseology depending on whether a left or right turn was given by EWR DEP: 
{{phraseology|syntax=Cleared to ______, via enter controlled airspace turn (left/right) heading 290, radar vectors (exit fix) (route). Maintain 2,000' … Hold for release.}}

Once the readback is correct, inform the pilot that it is accurate, ask them to advise when they are number one and ready for departure, and change them to advisory frequency.


; Coordinating a Release
Once the aircraft is number one and ready for departure, instruct them to standby.

Request a release from EWR DEP, including the runway and direction of turn (if needed).
* If possible, EWR DEP will provide a release and a time the pilot needs to be off by, e.g., "_____ is released for departure; he needs to be off in 5 minutes" or "______ is released for departure; he needs to be off by (XXXX) Zulu."
* If traffic conditions prevent the release, EWR DEP will provide an approximate delay time, e.g., "I can't release him yet; I won't be able to get him out for another 15 minutes or so."


; Releasing the Aircraft
Due to Linden's proximity to the arrival and departure flows at Newark, it is typically impractical to give the pilot a specific departure time and rely on them to depart on their own. Instead, there is a very small window to get them airborne, which often occurs during breaks in traffic into and out of Newark.

If the aircraft is not released, inform the pilot, and '''do not''' release the aircraft: 
{{phraseology|syntax=Hold for release, expect XX minute departure delay.}}

If the aircraft is released, provide them with their release time and any instructions/changes with the release, including their approved runway for departure: 
{{phraseology|syntax=Released for departure off Runway (9/27) at Linden, clearance void if not off by (XXXX) Zulu (or if not off in _ minutes), time now (YYYY) Zulu. If not off by (XXXX) Zulu (or if not off in _ minutes), advise this frequency of intentions. Contact Departure on 119.2 when airborne. Change to advisory frequency approved.}}

In the example above, XXXX and YYYY are times in UTC, pronounced digit by digit. XXXX is the clearance void time, and YYYY is the current time. For example: ''... clearance void if not off by one six three zero Zulu, time now one six zero zero Zulu ...''

*Newark Ground must use intersection W for all departures from runway 22R when EWR lands runway 22L. Full length can be used only if requested for performance or operational necessity.
*Newark Ground must use intersection Y for all departures from runway 22R when EWR lands runway 29. Full length can be used only if requested for performance or operational necessity. Runway 22R at W can be used while landing runway 29, provided jet blast advisories are issued, and departures are staggered so as not to interfere with runway 29 arrival traffic.
*Newark Ground must issue FULL LENGTH runway 4L for all departures when EWR departs runway 4L. Intersections can be used only if requested or for operational necessity.
*Since departures can come from taxiways Alpha or Bravo, sequencing for intersection departures is more involved, requiring Ground Control to properly push flight strips to the tower controller in the correct order.
*Departures should be issued taxi instructions using the hold method at all times, with the final hold point being short of the departure intersection.
*{{phraseology|Runway Two Two Right at Whiskey, taxi left on Bravo, Romeo, hold short of Whiskey}}
*Below is a list of usable runway lengths from common intersections. If the numbers are not divisible by 50, you must round them '''down''' to the nearest 50 feet before providing the information to the pilot.
*{{phraseology|Runway Two Two Right at Whiskey, taxi via left on Bravo, hold short of Foxtrot. Runway Two Two Right at Whiskey intersection departure, one-zero thousand one hundred fifty feet available.}}

====Aircraft Movement====
* Taxiway '''Alpha''' is the primary route for inbound aircraft, and taxiway '''Bravo''' is the primary route for outbound aircraft.
* Note that taxiways Alpha, Bravo, Sierra, and Zulu are bidirectional.
* When using runway 22R for departure, outbound aircraft merge at the intersection of taxiways Romeo and Kilo. To allow for safe merging, all aircraft via taxiway Romeo hold short of taxiway Juliet, and all aircraft via taxiway Kilo hold short of taxiway Sierra.

===Local Control===
<tabber>
|-|Procedures=

====Releases====
Releases from Newark are automatic unless N90 requests individual releases.

====Separation====
The standard departure separation technique to be used is anticipated radar separation.

====Radar====
Newark ATCT is Limited Radar Approach Control certified
# VFR aircraft with flight following and all IFR aircraft will be radar identified by N90
# VFR aircraft without flight following will be radar identified by the EWR ATCT Class Bravo Airspace (CBA) controller, or the local controller if CBA is not staffed
# Local Control shall switch communications on departing aircraft to the TRACON departure controller or the LGA CBA controller, as appropriate, after departure. It is imperative that Local Control observe departing traffic turning towards the assigned climb, heading, or visual reporting point before handing off.

====Aircraft Exiting the Runway====
*Arriving aircraft must be issued a turn onto one of the taxiways adjacent to the landing runway to ensure they continue taxiing away from the runway exit. Handoff to Ground Control should occur after the aircraft starts taxiing away from the active runway. Local Control will coordinate with Ground Control as needed to determine the traffic flow on the taxiways.

;Parallel Runway Operations
*During overflow operations, Newark can land simultaneously on runways 4L and 4R. Refer to the TRACON section of this SOP for further information.
*Runways 4L and 4R are 950 feet apart, so these parallel runways are considered the same runway with respect to wake turbulence. For more information on same-runway separation, refer to {{Template:ExtLink_FAA7110}}.

;Intersecting Runway Operations
*Newark Tower can land on runway 22L and runway 11 simultaneously. Separation over the intersection will be provided by TRACON initially but will be monitored and adjusted by Tower as necessary using S-turns and speed control.
*Newark Tower can land on runway 4R and runway 11 simultaneously, provided that runway 4R arrivals land and hold short of runway 11.
*Simultaneous operations can be conducted on runway 22R at taxiway Whiskey and runway 29, provided the aircraft on runway 22R is not a heavy jet.
*When circling from runway 4R to runway 29, use the BRIDGE VISUAL approach.
*When circling from runway 22L to runway 29, use the STADIUM VISUAL approach.
*Simultaneous arrivals to runways 29 and 4R are permitted if:
**A runway 29 arrival must be through the intersection of runway 4R prior to the runway 4R arrival reaching a point no closer than 5,000 feet from the intersection of both runways.
**Weather conditions must have a ceiling at or above 2,500 feet and visibility greater than four miles.
*Ensure that large turbojet aircraft and heavy jets commence takeoff from either runway 22R full length or from taxiway W before a runway 29 arrival reaches a one-mile final.

; Line Up and Wait Operations (LUAW)
*Only one aircraft may LUAW at a time.
*An aircraft may be issued a LUAW instruction after another aircraft has been issued a landing clearance, provided the weather is not less than an 800-foot ceiling or less than 2 miles visibility.
*This applies when EWR is in a single-runway configuration or using a departure-only runway for an arrival.

;Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
LAHSO may be conducted under the following conditions:
*At least 3 miles visibility.
*Ceiling of at least 1,000 feet.
*No wind shear reported.
*An announcement shall be made in the ATIS (Example: "LAHSO in effect").
LAHSO configurations allowed:
*Land runway 4R, hold short of runway 11 for a runway 11 arrival. Available landing distance (ALD) 8,100 feet.
*Land runway 4R, hold short of runway 29 for a runway 29 departure. ALD 8,100 feet.
*Land runway 4L, hold short of runway 11 for a runway 11 arrival. ALD 7,750 feet.
*Land runway 4L, hold short of runway 29 for a runway 29 departure. ALD 7,750 feet.
*Land runway 11, hold short of runway 4R for a runway 4R arrival. ALD 5,700 feet.
*Land runway 11, hold short of runway 22L for a runway 22L departure. ALD 5,700 feet.

; Departure Procedures
: Select the departure heading based on the table above if the aircraft is '''not''' on a Departure Procedure. Otherwise, clear the aircraft for takeoff as usual and ensure they fly the assigned departure.

*'''Runway 22R/L Departures:''' Issue heading 190. Once the departure is established on heading 190, assign heading 220 and instruct the aircraft to contact departure.
: If the pilot does not follow the initial 190 heading, runway heading is acceptable.
: Before releasing subsequent departures from runway 22R, Newark Tower must verify aircraft are turning in the correct direction.

*'''Runway 4L/R or 11 Departures:''' Issue heading 060. Once the departure is established on heading 060 (around 1,500'-2,000'), assign a left turn to heading 290 and instruct the aircraft to contact departure.
:If the pilot does not follow the initial 060 heading on runway 4L/R, runway heading is acceptable. After TEB runway 6 arrival traffic is no longer a factor, issue a left turn to heading 290 and instruct the aircraft to contact departure.

:If the pilot does not follow the initial 060 heading on runway 11, issue a left turn heading 060 to avoid conflicts with LGA traffic.

:Before releasing subsequent departures from runway 4L, Newark Tower must verify aircraft are turning in the correct direction.
:'''Exception''': For East Gate departures, maintain heading 060 and hand off immediately to Departure Control.

*'''Special Procedures when LGA is using ILS Runway 13:'''
:When LGA is using the ILS approach to runway 13, assign the following climb procedure for departures from runway 4L and 11:
{{phraseology|Fly heading 040, at 4 DME turn left heading 290. Maintain 2,000'.}}

:If the pilot cannot follow this procedure, Newark Tower must provide radar vectors to replicate it. Heading 290 may be issued before 4 DME if traffic permits. Hand off to Departure Control after assigning the 290 heading.

; For East Gate departures when EWR DEP is offline but LGA DEP is online:
When EWR_DEP is offline and not covered by any controller but LGA_DEP is online or covered, and there is a departure heading to an East Gate, SHIPP, or WAVEY:
*'''Runway 4L/4R:''' At around 4 DME or upon reaching approximately 1,500'-2,000', instruct the aircraft to turn left heading 040 and contact LGA_DEP.
*'''Runway 22L/22R:''' Once established on heading 190, instruct the aircraft to turn '''right''' to heading 040 and contact LGA_DEP.
**Ensure the aircraft executes a '''right turn''' by providing an intermediate heading or emphasizing the right turn, and visually confirm the aircraft is turning right.
*'''Runway 11:''' At around 4 DME or reaching approximately 1,500'-2,000', advise the aircraft to turn left heading 040 and contact LGA_DEP.
*'''Runway 29:''' Once established on heading 265, instruct the aircraft to turn right heading 060 and contact LGA_DEP.

*'''Missed Approaches/Go-Arounds:''' Aircraft must fly runway heading or track the localizer until reaching the departure end of the runway. They should then be assigned a heading as indicated in the table unless it's beneficial for safety to delay or initiate a turn early.
*'''Initial Separation:''' Separation for all missed approaches or go-arounds should begin with altitude. Consider assigning intermediate altitudes (e.g., 2,000') before climbing to 3,000' to avoid loss of separation with converging targets.
*'''Speed Restrictions:''' To reduce TRACON workload, consider issuing speed restrictions on missed approaches or go-arounds in line with {{Reference7110|chapter=4|section=8|reference=4-8-9}}.
*'''TRACON Coordination:''' Coordinate with TRACON as soon as possible, and hand off when Local Control traffic is no longer a factor.
*'''Judgment and Safety:''' Use sound judgment with go-arounds or missed approaches. Deviate from the standard headings and altitudes if required to ensure safety.
*'''Table Usage:''' The table above indicates the heading and altitude to be assigned to a missed approach or go-around before transferring to TRACON frequency.
*'''Runway 22L/22R Operations:''' For simultaneous runway 22L missed approaches and runway 22R departures, adjust the departure's heading to runway heading.
*'''Runway 4L/4R Operations:''' For simultaneous runway 4R missed approaches and runway 4L departures, adjust the departure's heading to runway heading.

|-|VFR Procedures=
===VFR Procedures===
; Departures
All departures whose destination is LGA, JFK, TEB, CDW, MMU, HPN, FRG, or ISP ("New York Metros") should remain on the ground until an Approval Request (APREQ) is sent to and approved by the destination Tower, indicating they are able to accept the aircraft into their airspace.

Aircraft departing EWR without flight following should end up on about a 240° heading towards LDJ. Depending on the departing runway, Newark Tower should give radar vectors to ensure the aircraft is clear of any local traffic, including potential TEB ILS 6 arrivals, before issuing the 240° heading.

Aircraft departing EWR that will join the Skyline Route should be given a vector towards the east (within Tower's airspace) '''and''' an altitude (since we did not give them an altitude to expect in their clearance).

In lieu of a heading, controllers may opt to issue an instruction to join the Skyline route to expedite the departure out of the airspace (traffic permitting).
{{phraseology|Fly heading ___, maintain VFR at (1500/2000) ... or ... Proceed direct (a landmark), join the skyline route (Northbound/Southbound), maintain VFR at (1500/2000) ...}}


; Over-flights and Runway 11/29 Arrivals
*Vector the over-flights as shown in the diagram below.
*No over-flights are permitted when circle-to-land operations are in effect.
[[File:EWR-TWR-Overflights.png]]

; Pattern Work
*All runways at EWR have left traffic patterns.
*Helicopters should be at 500', props at 1,000', and jets at 1,500'. Adjust these altitudes when necessary to avoid over-flights or normal IFR traffic flow.

; New York Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA)
*Floor of New York Class B airspace above the Hudson and East Rivers is 1,300'. EWR Tower owns 1,301'-2,000', but standard altitudes to transition the Bravo on the Skyline Route are 1,500' and 2,000'.
*Aircraft transiting the entire length of the Hudson River Class B Exclusion Zone (transient operations) will operate between 1,000'-1,300'.
*Aircraft within the Hudson River Exclusion Zone that are conducting sightseeing, electronic news gathering, law enforcement, landing, etc. (local operations) will operate below 1,000'.
*Expect aircraft to fly along the west shoreline of the Hudson River when southbound and along the east shoreline of the Hudson River when northbound (i.e., staying to the right).

; Skyline Route
The Skyline Route is a VFR Transition Route that lies above the Hudson River between the Verrazzano Bridge and the Alpine Tower. Operations in the Skyline Route require a Class Bravo clearance from ATC. Aircraft requesting this route should be handled as follows:

*'''Northbound Aircraft''': Will contact EWR ATCT prior to the Verrazzano Bridge, should be cleared into the CBA at 1,500'/2,000', and will fly along the east bank of the Hudson River until the Alpine Tower.
*'''Southbound Aircraft''': Will contact LGA ATCT prior to the Alpine Tower, should be cleared into the CBA at 1,500'/2000', and will fly along the west bank of the Hudson River until the Verrazzano Bridge.
**LGA ATCT will handoff to EWR ATCT around the Lincoln Tunnel. If LGA ATCT is offline, aircraft will contact EWR ATCT prior to the Lincoln Tunnel, should be cleared into the CBA at 1,500'/2,000', and will fly along the east bank of the Hudson River until the Alpine Tower.

***IFR Cancellation (outside of Bravo Airspace); or
***Leaving the Bravo Airspace; or
***Landing assured


; Airspace Delegated from N90

</tabber>

==TRACON==
<tabber>
|-|General Information=
===General Information===
; Callsign
* When EWR APP is combined (i.e., Yardley is the only EWR approach controller), the callsign should be EWR_P_APP.
* When a controller handles a departure, they must use the radio name "Newark Departure" on frequency.
* When a controller handles an arrival or enroute traffic, they must use the radio name "Newark Approach" on frequency.
* When speaking to other controllers via landline, refer to yourself by the sector name you are controlling.

; Point Outs
: When using an automated point out, verbal (or textual) approval must be obtained before an aircraft may enter another controller's airspace. An automated point out without a verbal or textual description does not constitute a valid point out.

; Separation Minima
: Minimum radar separation between aircraft must be at least three miles (intra-TRACON) or five miles (TRACON-Center) and must be constant or increasing when the transfer of control is accomplished. Wake turbulence separation and miles-in-trail requirements may increase this minimum.

;Transfer of Control
*When N90 Liberty Departure is staffed or is covered by another position (typically, New York Center), N90 departure controllers must handoff as specified in facility SOPs.
*When N90 Liberty Departure is NOT staffed or is not covered by another position (typically, New York Center), N90 departure controllers must accomplish ALL of the following before releasing the aircraft from frequency:
**Clear aircraft direct to the first fix or on course climbing to an altitude of:
***For aircraft requesting 11,000' or higher, issue from 11,000'-17,000' (13,000'-17,000' for EAST GATE EXITS).
***For aircraft requesting below 11,000', issue their cruise altitude.
***For aircraft going to BDL, issue 10,000'.
**Clear the scratchpad.
**Provide separation from traffic coming from different airports and heading to the same fix, including those that are under the control of another controller. In this case, coordination is required.
**Transfer these aircraft to UNICOM prior to them reaching 17,000' unless traffic is a factor, except in the case of EAST GATE EXITS. In this case:
***If Boston Center is online, then handoff directly to Boston Center.
***If Boston Center is offline, then switch to UNICOM.
*When N90 Liberty Departure and New York Center are NOT staffed or covered by another position, N90 departure controllers shall hand off aircraft routed via Q409 or Q167 to Washington Center at the following altitudes, per the N90 ZDC LOA:
**WHITE Q409: FL240
**WAVEY EMJAY Q167: FL230

;General Arrival Procedures
*Coordinate each visual approach, either verbally or via a scratchpad entry.
**Use "VAA" in the scratchpad for an arrival cleared for a visual approach to the airport.
**Use "VAP" in the scratchpad for an aircraft following traffic to the airport.
*Separation between arrivals may be reduced to 2.5 NM in-trail on the final approach course within 10 NM.
*Inform Newark Tower of the first or last arrival when a runway change is requested.
*Obtain approval from Newark Tower for the use of a secondary arrival runway. Indicate the landing runway in the scratchpad.
*Provide an automated handoff to Newark Tower (4Z) for any arrivals not using the primary runway.
*The designated point for transferring communications and control of IFR/VFR arrivals to Newark Tower is 8 NM from EWR airport.

;Parallel Runway Arrivals
*When conducting parallel visual approaches to RWYs 4R/4L, apply the following procedures:
**Heavy jets will be sequenced to RWY 4R and typically kept 1,000' below traffic landing RWY 4L.
**Do not allow a larger aircraft to overtake a smaller aircraft on final.
**Final Vector 4 will enter "R4L" in the scratchpad to notify EWR Tower which aircraft are sequenced for that runway.
**If RWY 4L traffic cannot apply visual separation from RWY 4R aircraft, FV4 will climb RWY 4L aircraft to 4,000', heading 040, and advise EWR Tower to stop departures until further notice.

;Circle to Land 29
*Circling to Runway 29 must be conducted in VMC conditions. Circle-to-land operations are limited to the STADIUM VISUAL or the BRIDGE VISUAL approach. Confirm that the pilot has the airport or a charted obstacle in sight before clearing for a visual approach:
{{Phraseology|United 123, Teterboro airport is at 12 o'clock, 6 miles, report in sight.}}
*Once confirmed, issue clearance for the visual approach, such as:
{{Phraseology|United 123, proceed direct Teterboro, cross Teterboro at 3,000', cleared STADIUM VISUAL runway 29 approach.}}

; Use of Runway 11 for Overflow Operations
*At the discretion of the TMU, Runways 11 and 22L may be used for arrivals using CRDA in the event of heavy arrival flow. This configuration cannot be used solely for weather and must be approved by the TMU.
*METRO has sequence authority for all EWR Runway 11 overflow arrivals.
*CRDA airspace will be delegated to METRO from EWR Departure and is located within METRO's typical airspace in the Southwest flow.
*ARD will hand off EWR Runway 11 traffic at or descending to 5,000'.
*Unless coordinated otherwise, EWR Runway 11 is used only for arrivals from ARD and RBV areas.
*Description of Converging Runway Display Aid (CRDA):
**CRDA is an automation tool for CRC users that allows controllers to establish and maintain staggered distances between two aircraft on different runways. CRDA projects the position of an aircraft approaching one runway onto the final approach course of the other runway as a "ghost" target.
***'''Common Point:''' where converging approaches intersect, typically the runway intersection or the extended centerlines of both runways. The CRDA software uses this point to project ghost targets equidistant from the common point.
***'''Ghost Target:''' An image representing an aircraft at a position other than its actual location, based on the common point.
***'''Stagger Mode:''' The real aircraft and its ghost are equidistant from the common point.
***'''Tie Mode:''' The ghost track uses stagger mode with an adapted offset (0-10 NM).
*Use CRDA for simultaneous arrivals only when VFR weather conditions apply. Controllers must still apply standard separation as per JO 7110.65.

* Aircraft may request a Runway 11 approach outside overflow operations, provided all relevant controllers are coordinated.

;Use of Runway 29 for Overflow Operations
*At the TMU's discretion, Runways 29 and 4R may be used during heavy arrival flow. This configuration is not weather-dependent and must be TMU-approved.
*EWR shall use the ILS Runway 4R and the RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 approaches as overflow options. RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 is only used during overflow.
*EWR Tower will be assigned RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 approach airspace from EMPYR, beneath the EWR Tower and NFI airspace delegations.
*While using RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29, TEB must use RNAV (GPS) X Runway 6, and LGA must use the LOC Runway 31 approach.
*ARD normally assigns the RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 approach to traffic from ARD and/or RBV. Aircraft should be fed to NFI at 5,000' with "R29" in the scratchpad and sequenced with RWY 4R traffic.
*The designated transfer point for communication and control for RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 arrivals to EWR Tower is ZIAAA at 180 knots.
*Aircraft may request the RNAV (GPS) X Runway 29 approach outside overflow, provided coordination is achieved with all relevant controllers.

|-|Noise Abatement=
===Noise Abatement===
The following are recommended procedures and must only be used when traffic, weather, and workload permit their use.
*General (in effect 24 hrs a day):
**During periods of light traffic or whenever the opportunity presents, use the following Community Environmental Guidelines:
***Maximize the use of random vectors in lieu of established ground tracks.
***Retain arrival aircraft at higher altitudes as long as feasible.
***Coordinate with other controllers to issue higher altitudes to departures earlier than normal.
**Arrival:
***Ensure turbojet aircraft conducting uncharted visual approaches are vectored so as to intercept the final approach course outside the respective outer markers, and are instructed to maintain at or above 2,000 until on final.
***Vector arrivals so as to avoid overflying the BWZ VOR and maintain 7,000 until abeam the VOR.
***The Rt. 80 Visual Approach to Morristown RWY 23 is the preferred noise abatement approach.
**Departure:
***RWY 22L/R
****Ensure jet departures follow EWR SID's except when necessary to vector because of traffic or weather.
****Vector props at or above 1,500.
****When operationally feasible, vector North and East jets inside of LDJ. This turn may be made prior to 2,000 if other departure traffic, traffic landing RWY 11, or traffic released off RWY 29 is not a factor.
****When operationally feasible, turn ELIOT departures northwest bound (i.e. 310 heading) at or after LDJ.
***RWY 4L/R
****Ensure jet departures follow the EWR SID and vector at or above 2,000.
****Vector props at or above 1,500.

*Additional procedures for the midnight shift (2300-0700 Local):
**PENNS Arrivals will be cleared by ZNY to maintain 9,000 and should not be cleared below that altitude until at least abeam the BWZ VOR.
**Departures
***RWYs 22L/R
****ZIMMZ/NEWEL/ELIOT departures must transition the SBJ Gate, climbing to 11,000.
****Turn WEST jet departures between 5 and 8 DME.
***RWY's 4L/R
****Vector departures at or above 2,500.
***Non-standard turns off EWR are not permitted unless traffic, weather, or equipment difficulties exist. If the pilot requests one, inform them that it is not a noise abatement approved procedure.
****Example: No right turns for RWY 4L/R southbound departures or left turns for RWY 22L/R eastbound departures.
***Teterboro
****Approve a departure climb off RWYs 19 and 24 to 3,000' whenever arrival traffic is not a factor. This approval may be given for each aircraft at the time of departure roll, a series of aircraft, or a specified time frame. Advise TEB Tower to amend the TEB# SID to read "except maintain 3,000'".
****When departing RWYs 1 and 6, and LGA is not using ILS 13, approve a departure climb to 3,000'. This approval may be given for each aircraft at the time of departure roll, a series of aircraft, or a specified time frame. Advise TEB Tower to amend the IFR clearance to read "maintain 3,000'".
****RWY 19/24 arrivals on visual approach should follow the normal flight path, overhead the airport for left traffic.

;Satellite Departure Control
*When managing departures from minor airports, merge traffic with EWR and/or TEB traffic.
**LIB West departures should utilize the most expeditious gate, considering traffic and weather. If traffic levels are high and the West and/or SBJ Gates are saturated with EWR traffic, all satellite departures should use the Satellite Gate.
*MUGZY has control responsibility for the following airports: TEB, CDW, MMU, N07, 4N1.
**Unless coordinated otherwise:
***On the NE flow, MUGZY will release airspace around CDW to EWR Departure.
***EWR Departure will control departures from TEB, CDW, N07, and MMU.
***EWR Departure shall provide tower services for TEB, CDW, and MMU when their respective towers are offline.
***EWR Departure will point out departures from CDW, N07, and MMU to MUGZY, except:
****On a SW flow, MMU RWY 23 releases are not required from MUGZY.
****When CRDA is in use, request release of MMU RWY 23 departures from METRO.
***On a NE flow, EWR Departure must point out runway 29 departures to MUGZY.
***MUGZY has sequencing authority for all EWR overflow runways on a northeast flow.
***MUGZY shall instruct Lincoln Park (N07) arrivals to contact CDW Tower to cancel IFR.
*METRO has control responsibility for the following airports: N05, SMQ, N51, 47N, 39N.
**On a northeast flow, coordinate Central Jersey Regional arrivals with MUGZY.
**METRO has sequencing authority for all EWR overflow runways on a southwest flow.
**Assign the PRINC# (Princeton #) SID to 39N departures when feasible.
**On a SW flow, METRO has sequence authority for IFR LDJ arrivals and shall point these out to EWR Departure and EWR Tower, advising of IFR cancellation, landing, or missed approach.
**On a NE flow, Final Vector 4 has sequencing authority for IFR LDJ arrivals and shall point out an IFR LDG arrival to EWR Tower and MUGZY, advising of IFR cancellation, landing, or missed approach.
*ZEEBO has control responsibility for the following airports: 12N, 13N, N05, FWN, 1N7.
**Obtain a block of airspace 3,000' and below west of STW for approaches to 12N or the VOR RWY 25 approach to Blairstown (1N7), per the N90/ABE LOA. Blairstown departures are handled by Allentown TRACON.
**Point out Sussex approaches to MUGZY.
