PHL TRACON CTLR VOICED CONCERN REGARDING THE (SAPRS); SIMULTANEOUS APPROACHES TO PARALLEL RUNWAYS; PROC NOTING CLASS B EXITS AND COM PROBLEMS.

Narrative

I WAS WORKING A LOW ALT SECTOR (PTW) RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING ACFT; MOSTLY REGIONAL AND CPR JETS AND DH8 TURBOPROPS; FROM THE N AND S AND TURN THEM TO A DOWNWIND TO LAND RWY 26 AT PHL. THIS OP IS KNOWN AS SAPRS (SIMULTANEOUS APCHS TO PARALLEL RWYS). ACFT LAND RWY 27L (MOSTLY MAINLINE JETS) AND RWY 26 (AS STATED ABOVE). THIS OP REQUIRES US TO VECTOR BELOW THE CLASS B TO LAND RWY 26. THE SECTOR I WAS WORKING (PTW) IS ALSO REQUIRED TO USE A FREQ (126.85) AT A DISTANCE BEYOND ITS SVC AREA DURING THE SAPRS OP. THE PROCS ALSO OFTEN REQUIRE ME TO VECTOR ACFT ON CONVERGING HDGS AT THE SAME ALT OVER THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. WHEN I WAS WORKING THE PTW SECTOR AND WAS HAVING PROBS WITH THE FREQ AS I HAVE IN THE PAST DURING THE SAPRS OP. THE FREQ WAS BREAKING UP AND UNREADABLE TO NUMEROUS ACFT. THIS REQUIRED ME TO HAVE TO REPEAT NUMEROUS XMISSIONS AND HAVE TO CHANGE MY PLANS DUE TO ME NOT BEING ABLE TO BE TIMELY IN MY DSCNTS AND VECTORS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE ACFT CONVERGING. THE FREQ PROB HAS BEEN RPTED AND ADDRESSED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST 2-3 YRS. THE AF TECHS TELL US THE FREQ IS WORKING NORMALLY BUT WE ARE USING IT BEYOND ITS SVC AREA. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE PROB. THE PROB WITH THE CLASS B NOT PROTECTING INBOUND ACFT HAS ALSO BEEN RPTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND AGAIN NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS PUTS CTLRS; AIRLINE PAX; CREW AND PEOPLE IN AND AROUND PHILADELPHIA IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
