Traffic	Altitude	Speed
Base (36/18)	5,000 ft	≤210 kts
Downwind (36/18)	3,000 ft	≤210 kts
North (27)	4,000 ft	≤210 kts
South (27)	5,000 ft	≤210 kts
Adjacent arrival across airport	8,000 ft	—

Key rules:

Adjacent arrivals routed across airport at 8,000 ft, remain within ARE airspace unless coordinated.
Release control to ARF/M/N within 30 DME MEM for descent/turns, up to 30° away from airport.
Coordinate approach sequence for parallel runways when finals not staffed.
Point out aircraft not tagged to appropriate departure.
When OLV Tower closed and ARN not staffed: issue departure clearances at OLV.

Traffic	Altitude	Speed
Base (36/18)	6,000 ft	≤210 kts
Downwind (36/18)	4,000 ft	≤210 kts
North (27)	5,000 ft	≤210 kts
South (27)	7,000 ft	≤210 kts
Adjacent arrival across airport	9,000 ft	—

Key rules:

Adjacent arrivals across airport at 9,000 ft, remain in ARW airspace unless coordinated.
Release control to ARF/M/N within 30 DME MEM for descent/turns, up to 30° away from airport.
Coordinate parallel runway sequence when finals not staffed.
Point out aircraft not tagged to appropriate departure.
When AWM not staffed (Rwy 9 Final/ARN): issue departure clearances at AWM.

Position	Callsign	Sym	Frequency
Final West*	MEM_F_APP	1F	126.700

Final 9/27	MEM_N_APP	1N	126.050

F_APP is the primary combined position — staff it before opening any other final.

Controllers must:

Assume control within 30 DME, descent/vectors toward airport or up to 30° away, staying within associated arrival airspace.
Establish approach sequence for landing aircraft at KMEM.
Dual north/south finals: coordinate sequence and any airspace incursions with the other final controller.
Simultaneous dependent approaches: maintain 1.5 NM radar separation on adjacent localizers.
Parallel/simultaneous approach vertical separation:
- Aircraft from east → odd altitudes (unless coordinated)
- Aircraft from west → even altitudes (unless coordinated)
