SEQ PLN

SEQ PLN is the primary scope for 121.905 whenever 121.730 is primed. It is also the primary scope for 119.905 unless 121.905, 121.630, and 121.730 are all primed. The layout uses the GND aspect (same family as AA + AD and CLR DEL).

Cleared departures go to the controller staffing or carrying 121.905, or to the delivery controller staffing or carrying 119.905. When neither frequency is staffed or carried, departures go directly to the applicable AD, GE, or GW recipient, using the normal ground/tower fallback when needed. Carrying apron arrival 121.630 alone does not make a controller the sequencing recipient.

When 121.630 is offline, 121.905 also covers arrival apron. Use the manually selectable Apron Arrival scope for arrival actions; the arrival bays on SEQ PLN remain passive.

Uncleared strips

Section titled “Uncleared strips”

Others, SAS, and Norwegian match CLR DEL uncleared strips and are active so SEQ PLN can clear aircraft when needed.

Startup (SEQ)

Section titled “Startup (SEQ)”

All cleared departures sit in Startup (SEQ), sorted by TSAT with the earliest time at the bottom. A TSAT update automatically changes the order. Clickspots match Cleared strips in CLR DEL.

Voice clearance automatically assigns ownership to the controller carrying 121.905, or 119.905 when no controller carries 121.905. PDC assigns ownership after pilot acknowledgment. This applies regardless of the issuing scope. If neither frequency is staffed, the aircraft is assigned directly to the stand’s AD, GE, or GW controller instead. The strip still appears in STARTUP; visibility does not imply ownership.

The next logical route steps are:

  • Any G stand or APRON SOUTH stand: GE 121.830 → the applicable tower.
  • W1, RI, RII, RIII: GW 118.580 → the applicable tower.
  • Other stands: AD 121.730 → the configured ground/tower route.

Unavailable steps are skipped. When consecutive steps are carried by the same primary, no self-transfer is created.
