* - The "Vancouver North" sector handles the arrival/departure separation for Vancouver traffic to/from northern BC, northern Canada and Europe as well as departures to Edmonton. Due to the size of this sector and blocking by mountains, this sector could not be operated on one frequency. Rather than have aircraft switch frequencies in mid-sector, a switch was installed to allow the controller to select which transmitter to use depending on the location and altitude of the aircraft receiving the message. Both receivers operate simultaneously through a mixer circuit.
"YVR and YYJ Terminal", control traffic 16,000 feet and below within 35NM's of Vancouver except for US airspace and airspace within the Comox MTCU (Military Terminal Control Unit) which is capped at FL230.
The "Airports" specialty controls FL250 and below over the Rocky Mountains east of a line from Princeton to Ashcroft and all altitudes northeast of 51N/124W.
"East" controls FL260 and above over the Rockies as well as all altitudes within roughly 100NM's of Vancouver south and east of 51N/124W and not contained by the three terminals. This specialty does all the arrival sequencing for arrivals from the east and converts departing eastbound and northbound aircraft from the departure vectors to the on-course portion of the flight.
"West" controls all altitudes west of 124W except for the terminal airspace. They primarily handle north/south traffic between Alaska and Seattle ARTCC's, but also are seeing increasing numbers of long-range aircraft going to and from the Pacific ocean to points in the USA. They are responsible for the airport service on Vancouver Island and the northern coast of BC.
