RADAR HDOF CTLR STATES CTLRS AT LAS ARE USING PROCS THAT ALLOW MORE THAN 1 CTLR TO USE THE SAME AIRSPACE.

Narrative

WORKING ASSOCIATE POS FOR 2 DEP SECTORS; 2 DIFFERENT ACFT (ACFT X AND ACFT Y) BOTH ON THE SAME DEP PROC; CAME OFF ON 2 DIFFERENT FREQS AND TAGS. THE FIRST ACFT (ACFT X) CAME OFF IN W DEP'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT A RELEASE. THIS ACFT CAME OFF ON THE KASINO TAG; TALKING TO THE SATELLITE POS; WHICH WAS COMBINED WITH KASINO. THE SECOND ACFT; WHICH SHOULD BE THE SAME PROC; CAME OFF 5 MI IN TRAIL. HOWEVER; THIS ACFT WAS ON THE W DEP TAG TALKING TO THE W DEP. BECAUSE THE SOP STATES THESE DEPS WILL BE COORD; BUT MGMNT DIRECTED THESE DEPS TO BE RELEASED AUTOMATICALLY; THERE IS CONFUSION AMONG CTLRS HOW TO WORK THE ACFT. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROC. ALSO; THE STAAV DEP TURNS R AT 4 DME; WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THE PART OF THE CTLRS TO NOTIFY ADJACENT SECTORS OF THE ACTIONS OF EACH ACFT. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CALL FOR RELEASE (NO NOTIFICATION); THESE ACFT WILL DEPART AND CTLR ACTIONS CANNOT BE PROPERLY PLANNED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THE FACILITY HAS AN SOP THAT CLRLY AND THOROUGHLY COVERS COORD PROCS TO BE USED BY CTLRS. THE RPTR CLAIMS THE FACILITY MGR HAS DIRECTED HIS SUPVRS TO ALLOW 'LOOK-AND-GO' BY CTLRS WHEN THE FACILITY IS OPERATING IN CERTAIN CONFIGNS. HE SAID MOST OF THE CTLRS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH SPUR OF THE MOMENT PROCS.
