Is there a requirement to APREQ a KVKS departure inbound to KJAN prior to issuing clearance?

The requirement regarding the APREQ (Airborne Request) for a KVKS departure inbound to KJAN (Jackson, Mississippi Airport) is that it is not necessary before issuing a clearance. This is because in standard operating procedures for departures, the aircraft's initial clearance can be issued without needing to request specific approval from the destination facility regarding the departure. However, communication still needs to be maintained between relevant air traffic control stations to ensure safety and efficiency of air traffic flow.

While there are certain circumstances in which prior approval could be needed, such as specific operational situations or when the airspace is busy, these do not apply universally. Therefore, the correct understanding is that the standard operating procedure does not require an APREQ for every scenario and the clearance can be issued without it.
