What is the transfer of communication point at JAN?

The transfer of communication point at JAN occurs at the common boundary. This is the designated location in the airspace where control of an aircraft is transferred from one air traffic control facility to another. The common boundary is generally defined by airspace sectors or geographic areas of responsibility between different air traffic control centers.

When an aircraft approaches the boundary of one control area and enters another, communication must be established with the new controlling facility to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of air traffic services. This process is critical for maintaining safety and efficiency in airspace management.

In contrast, transferring communication at the destination airport, the point of departure, or an established holding pattern might not adhere to the required protocol for communication handover. Each of these other options could occur during flight operations, but they do not specifically respect the formal procedural norms established for coordination at the common boundary.
