Active Runways
Runway 13/31 must always be the jet arrival and departure runway due to the length of the runway
When the winds are calm, runway 31 will be the primary runway , and 4/22 may be used in either direction.
Use the following tables to determine the active runway(s)
Runway 13/31
| Wind Direction | Runway |
| 040 clockwise to 220 | 13 |
| 220 clockwise to 040 | 31 |
Runway 4/22
| Wind Direction | Runway |
| 310 clockwise to 130 | 4 |
| 130 clockwise to 310 | 22 |
No departure heading is needed unless requested by the departure controller.
Once an aircraft is observed airborne, (not when they call airborne) should be told to contact departure. The frequency is not needed since it was given in the clearance. Remember that the departure controller will be logged on as ACY_x_APP (where x represents the sector) and may still be referred to as "departure."
