Aerodrome
SID Selection
vatSys does not have SIDs built-in for YSRI. Aircraft planned via ANKUB, KADOM or MUDGI may be assigned the SID that terminates at the appropriate waypoint, as long as ATC is familiar with the chart, and the pilot is able.
Aircraft who are not planned via these points, or who are negative RNAV, may be assigned a visual departure.
VFR Procedures
All VFR aircraft outbound and inbound, or transiting the field maintain A015.
Aircraft transiting the RIC CTR track via the northbound or southbound VFR route.
Aircraft transiting northbound contact RI ADC at NPBR for clearance.
Aircraft transiting southbound contact RI ADC at KRMD for clearance.
Tip
You can find details of the transit route (including reporting points and altitudes) in the ERSA FAC YSRI and VTC.

Miscellaneous
Circuit Operations
YSRI circuit area is defined as within 6nm of the YSRI ARP. An aircraft operating in the circuit will be issued a clearance to the operate within the circuit area not above A015.
Circuit Direction
| Runway | Direction |
|---|---|
| 10 | Left |
| 28 | Left |
Start Approval
A start approval is required whenever parachute drops are conducted onto the Richmond Drop Zone. Additionally, ‘propellers/engines stopped’ reports are required. ATC shall notify these requirements by ATIS broadcast.
Inital and Pitch
The standard inital points are 5nm downwind of the active runway, dead side, left pitch/circuit.
Coordination
SY TCU
'Next' coordination is required from RI ADC to SY TCU for all aircraft.
Example
RI ADC -> SDN: "Next, TROJ57, runway 28"
SDN -> RI ADC: "TROJ57, unrestricted"
RI ADC -> SDN: "TROJ57"
The Standard Assignable Level from RI ADC to SY TCU is the lower of A050 or the RFL.
