New York ARTCC is located at 4205 Johnson Ave, Ronkonkoma, NY. The town of Ronkonkoma is located on Long Island. New York ARTCC is one out of 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers in the US. Their primary resposibility is the separation or overflights and expedited sequencing for both arrivals and departures along STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes) and DPs (Departure Procedures) for the entire New York Metropolitan Area along with Philadelphia. The Class Bravo aka Class B airports that ZNY assumes enroute control over include EWR , LGA , JFK and PHL . Altogether, New York Center owns 3.27 million square feet of airspace. Broken down, ZNY contatins 17,000 square miles of mainland airspace and 3.25 million square miles of oceanic airspace. THE BASIC BREAKDOWN The sector shelves start as low 5,500 AGL and top out as high as Flight Level 600 (60,000) AGL. ZNY is broken into Low Altitude and High Altitude sectorization and contains 16 Low Altitude sectors and 12 High altitude sectors making a combined total of 28 sectors excluding Oceanic sectors. Unlike many ARTCC's within the CONUS, ZNY does not contain any Super High Altitude sectors. Within the Center there are 6 Areas, sometimes known as specialties at other ARTCC 's. AREA BREAKDOWN In ZNY, those Areas are Lettered A through F. Area A covers the south edge of Pennsylvania and feeds arrivals into PCT (Potomac Consolidated TRACON ) which runs arrivals and departures for DCA , BWI , and IAD primarily among many airports. Area B covers the East side of Pennsylvania and all of New Jersey. Area B controls westbound, southbound and southwest bound departures out of N90 (New York TRACON ). Area B sequences most of those departures into streams for the STARs into BWI , IAD , and DCA . Area C covers the north edge of Pennsylvania. Area C controls both eastbound arrivals into JFK on the LENDY5 STAR and some westbound departures out of N90. Area D is right in the middle of Pennsylvania and butts up against Cleveland ARTCC 's (ZOB) east border. Area D handles the PHL SPUDS1/SLATT1 STAR along with PHL departures departing via the PTW (Pottstown VOR aka VHF Omnidirectional Range ) exit to head westbound. Area D's High Altitude sectors handles all westbound N90 departures. They also handle the MIP3 (Milton 3) STAR into LGA and FQM1 (Williamsport 1) STAR into EWR . Area E is the first set of Oceanic sectors that mainly have control over the Atlantic just off shore from New York and New Jersey. Area E maintains one "mainland" Oceanic sector that feed arrivals and departures to transition from the NATS (North Atlantic Tracks) onto the STARs into international airports such as IAD , JFK , EWR , and PHL . Area F is the other set of Oceanic sectors and maintains control of the South Atlantic. Just like Area E, Area F assumes responsibility for two "mainland" high altitude oceanic sectors just of the coast of New York. Combined, Area E and Area F are surrounded by Miami ARTCC (ZMA), Jacksonville ARTCC (ZJX), Washington ARTCC (ZDC), Boston ARTCC (ZBW), San Juan FIR, Piarco FIR, Shanwick Oceanic Control in the UK, Santa Maria FIR in Spain. Moncton and Gander FIRs in Canada. Area F also controls the Caribbean area including Bermuda. AREA A High Altitude Sectors
