AC Local Area Groups and Sectors
This section is incomplete
Each sector is assigned a sector number which is used when co-ordinating the passage of aircraft between each other. Colloquial names are also in use for each group of sectors and are sometimes used within the co-ordination process when sectors are bandboxed together to indicate that one sector team is operating a whole group of sectors.
LACC is unusual in that it uses Class A airspace at lower levels. Therefore VFR operation is prohibited.
