The Plans

PDX SOP and LOA define several special traffic plans that are used in specific situations.

FAN PLAN

This plan is designed to expedite the departure of multiple small propeller-driven cargo planes.

Southbound non-noise sensitive IFR departures are automatically released and, unless otherwise coordinated, must be assigned the Portland SID, 4,000 ft. and the following climb out heading:

• Flight plan route west of V23: heading 210

• Flight plan route on V23: heading 180.

• Flight plan route east of V23: heading 150.

This fans out the departures across these headings.

PDX CIC must coordinate initiation and termination of the Fan Plan with P80 CIC when the first southbound Fan Plan aircraft calls PDX for IFR clearance.

BOXER PLAN

This plan is basically the arrival version of the Fan Plan, designed for the arrival of multiple small propeller-driven cargo planes. P80 will sequence the aircraft inbound from the south on approach for runway 3.

PDX may clear aircraft for a straight in visual approach to Runway 3, or use Runway 10R/28L via the left downwind once the Boxer arrival reports the airfield in sight.

This plan is used in Runway 10 or 28 flow only (not south flow).

To the maximum extent possible, utilize Runway 10L/28R for all aircraft not parking at south cargo ramps.

WEATHER PLAN

Either facility may implement the weather plan if conditions affect the automatic release of departures, such as weather along the typical departure routes requiring P80 to vector departures around it.

PDX must re-clear all RNAV SID aircraft via the Portland SID, radar vectors the RNAV SID common fix (LAVAA, MINNE, CHISM, WHAMY, HRMNS), direction transition fix, then as filed. The flight plan shall remain via the RNAV SID in the flight plan editor.

Tower must coordinate departure headings. P80 has control for turns for all departures upon communications transfer.

All PDX departures must be a minimum of 5 MIT (Miles In Trail), unless otherwise authorized by P80.
