ARTCC "Z" ID LIST The following is a list of the twenty contiguous Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs), listed by name, and also listed by their "Z" identifiers. Often, here on AVSIG, people will ask what on earth "ZOB" stands for, and when they find out that it is the identifier for Cleveland ARTCC, they still don't understand why it is called ZOB. Well, my friends, the "OB" in ZOB comes from the location of Cleveland Center, which is approximately 25 miles west of Cleveland, in the little town of OBerlin, OH. Well, that answers that riddle, good luck with the rest. I have listed the ARTCCs by name, by Zxx ID, and by the ZCx ID. The Zxx ID is more or less a (mail) routing symbol, whereas the ZCx ID is a computer ID, which really only Flight Service Station (FSS) specialists would use when entering your IFR flight plan into the computer, so that it gets routed to the correct ARTCC. All of these identifiers can be found in the LOCATION IDENTIFIERS handbook (7350.5). I have also listed each ARTCC's address and telephone number. If you ever need to look up a FAA facility's address and/or telephone number, just look in the white pages of your telephone book under U S GOVERNMENT, or sometimes you will find it listed under GOVERNMENT OFFICES in the blue pages. This list is current as of 8/24/89. If you catch an error, Plex me a correction and I'll get it corrected.
