Narrative

WHEN ON AN E FLOW (LNDG RWY 8/12 AT CXY; AND RWY 13 AT MDT) WITH A DEP OFF RWY 12 AT CXY AND AN INBOUND COMING FROM THE SE ON AN EXTENDED DOWNWIND FOR R TFC RWY 8; DUE TO THE CLOSE PROX OF THE 2 ARPTS; ARTS DATA TAGS OFTEN OVERLAP MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH ONE'S INBOUND TFC NEAR THE ARPTS. NORMAL TFC PATTERN FOR RWY 8 IS L- HAND TFC. WITH THE ABOVE SIT; SEVERAL TIMES SEPARATION MINIMA WAS LOST. THIS BECAME AN ISSUE BTWN MDT AND CXY FACILITIES. CXY TWR REQUESTED THAT MDT APCH PROVIDE A MANUAL VERBAL HDOF FOR THE INBOUND TFC. MDT APCH HAS REFUSED SAYING THAT THE CONFLICTS DON'T HAPPEN FREQUENTLY ENOUGH. DOES AN ACCIDENT HAVE TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE OUR REQUESTS ARE MET? THIS IS ALSO A REASON WHY CXY TWR SHOULD BE AN L-RAC. CXY TWR ALREADY HAS A LOA TO ALLOW ITS CTLRS TO USE THE D-BRITE FOR SEPARATION. HOWEVER; THE FAA REFUSES TO DELEGATE AIRSPACE TO CXY CITING ECONOMIC INSTEAD OF SAFETY REASONS FOR THEIR REFUSAL. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH MDT TRACON SUPVR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: UNABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE RPTR BUT WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO A SUPVR AT MDT TRACON REGARDING AIRSPACE. THE SUPVR STATED THAT CXY TWR IS A LEVEL 1 FACILITY WITH D- BRITE RADAR AND HAS AN ARTS DATA KEYBOARD FOR FLT PLAN INFO REGARDING THE TRSA. THE TWR IS LOCATED 3.5 MI FROM MDT; AND THE ONLY AIRSPACE CXY HAS IS THE ATA/CTL ZONE UP TO 2000 FT. HE DISPUTES THE RPTR'S CLAIM OF AIRSPACE VIOLATIONS WITHOUT COORD BY TRACON. THE TWR IS SCHEDULED TO GO CONTRACT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
