Overview
Sector 72 (Selinsgrove)
- This is a super high altitude sector. The traffic flow in this sector is multi-directional in the vicinity of the PSB VORTAC. This sector sequences New York Metro area departures routed via J60, J64 and Q62 with over flight traffic from ZBW on J60 and J64 as well as other over flight traffic from ZBW routed via J49 to PSB and hands off this traffic to ZOB. This sector works random route over flight traffic north and northeast bound as well as south and southwest bound.
Sector 73 (Philipsburg)
- This is a high altitude sector. The traffic flow in this sector is multi-directional in the vicinity of the PSB VORTAC. The other predominate traffic flows in this sector are westbound via J60, J64, Q62 and random routes north and southbound between Area A and Area C. This sector sequences New York Metro area departures routed via J60 and J64, with over flight traffic from ZBW on J60 and J64, as well as other over flight traffic from ZBW routed via J49 to PSB and PHL departures routed via J60, J64 and Q62 and hands off this traffic to ZOB. Additional westbound flights departing ABE must also be sequenced on J60 and J64. This sector works eastbound departures from ZOB enroute to LGA (TON PSB MIP MIP STAR) and ZBW e.g.: KBOS, KBDL and KSWF via PSB.J49.
Sector 74 (Broadway)
- The traffic flow in this sector is primarily west to east and is predominantly comprised of KEWR and KLGA arrivals. The KEWR arrivals are routed via FQM/FQM STAR and the KLGA arrivals are routed via MIP/MIP STAR. This traffic must be descended and sequenced for the New York TRACON.
Sector 75 (Milton)
- The predominant traffic flow of this sector is west to east. Additional random route traffic north and southbound traverse this sector between Area A and Area C. This sector must sequence and descend eastbound arrival traffic to KEWR and KLGA and hand off these flights to Sector 74. The KEWR traffic is received from ZOB routed via SLT FQM/FQM STAR KEWR. The KLGA traffic is received from ZOB and Sector 73 routed via ETG or PSB MIP/MIP STAR KLGA. This sector must establish and maintain holding aircraft at MIP and FQM as necessary. This sector also works northeast traffic enroute to ZBW e.g.: KBOS, KBDL, and KHPN via J49 and southwest bound traffic from ZBW also on J49 and J59.
Sector 91 (Williamsport)
- Traffic flow in this sector is diverse with a moderate workload involving arrivals and departures in and out of ten airports. A number of the airports within the sector are not served by an approach control or tower. This sector provides service to a significant number of enroute aircraft. The majority of traffic consists of general aviation and small commuters arriving and departing KIPT and KUNV. The aircraft arrive from all directions and must be sequenced.
Sector 92 (Pottstown)
- This sector handles PHL departures routed via PTW in addition to KABE and KAVP arrivals and departures. Departures are received at 13,000′or 12,000′ (from PHL) and 8,000′ (from KABE and KAVP) and climbed to 17,000′. KABE arrivals are delivered Allentown TRACON at 9,000′ over FJC VOR and departures received at 8,000′ via ETX VOR. Southbound traffic includes KBWI, KDCA and KIAD turbo-prop arrivals. This sector also handles PHL turbojet arrivals via SPUDS. This sector usually has a moderate to heavy workload with most of these arrivals and departures transitioning through each other.
Sector 93 (Swissdale)
- This is a low altitude sector. The traffic flow is in all directions with a diverse mix of aircraft types. A large percentage of this traffic must be climbed or descended, including turbojets in and out of HAR, AVP and ABE. In addition, when Sector 91 is closed, KIPT and KUNV arrivals and departures are handled at this sector. Most of the enroute traffic consists of KIAD and KBWI turbo-props routed via FQM to HAR.
