An aircraft departs a satellite airport VFR then arrives at a satellite airport VFR can I count the portion between these operations as a VFR overflight?
No. The TRACON would count this as 1 secondary VFR departure and 1 secondary VFR arrival. If these operations occurred fully within tower airspace the tower would get two VFR overflight counts. • How do Stand-Alone Towers count aircraft landing and departing within the Towers airspace but not at the primary airport? There are no provisions for counting these in the standard? Since there are no provisions in the TTAP program for Towers to count secondary operations, it has been determined that Towers be permitted to count these operations as overflights. For example, a hospital is located 2 miles from the airport in Towers airspace where helicopter traffic frequently depart and exit Towers airspace. The Tower would count that helicopter operation as an overflight. • Do we receive credit for overflights that pass through multiple sectors or areas? No. Once the aircraft enters your facility airspace you get only one count for that operation. Towers and TRACON count this operation independ
