Final Answer:
FMY/RSW/PGD departures over LAL/SMELZ/KPASA requesting above FL340 must be assigned discrete squawk codes. ZJX has control for FL340 to FL600 NM south of the LAL VORTAC, within the AVON Sector.
Step-by-step explanation:
In air traffic control, when FMY (Page Field)/RSW (Southwest Florida International Airport)/PGD (Punta Gorda Airport) departures over LAL (Lakeland VORTAC)/SMELZ/KPASA request altitudes above FL340 (Flight Level 340), they must be assigned discrete squawk codes. Discrete squawk codes are unique transponder codes assigned to individual aircraft for radar identification. Additionally, ZJX (Jacksonville ARTCC) has control for altitudes ranging from FL340 to FL600 NM south of the LAL VORTAC within the AVON Sector. This means that air traffic control responsibilities for this specific airspace fall under the jurisdiction of ZJX at altitudes between FL340 and FL600 NM south of the Lakeland VORTAC.
