SID Selection

Aircraft planned via MIKIS, TASUM, or VEKLO shall be assigned the relevant Procedural SID.

Aircraft planned via IRSOM, MORGO, FLIKI, VIMAP, NUNPA, or MOTRA, departing Runway 32L, shall be assigned the relevant ALPHA Procedural SID.

Aircraft planned via FLIKI, VIMAP, NUNPA, or MOTRA, departing Runway 14R, shall be assigned the relevant BRAVO Procedural SID.

Non-Jet Aircraft planned via IRSOM, FLIKI, or MORGO may be assigned the relevant CHARLIE Procedural SID on pilot request.

Aircraft not planned via any of the above waypoints, shall be recleared via the most appropriate one, and assigned the Procedural SID.

Aircraft unable to accept a SID, or that cannot practically accept amended routing via the above points, shall be assigned the RADAR SID.

ATIS

YMLT ATIS identifiers range from A to M, as YMHB uses N through Y.

Circuit Direction

Runway Day Night
14R Right Right
32L Left Left

Coordination

Departures

'Next' coordination is not required to LTA for aircraft that are:
a) Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and
b) Assigned the standard assignable level; and
c) Assigned a SID; or
d) Not entering LTA CTA

All other aircraft require a 'Next' call to LTA.

Phraseology

LT ADC -> LTA: "Next, ABC, runway 14L"
LTA -> LT ADC: "ABC, Heading 150 Visual, unrestricted"
LT ADC -> LTA: "Heading 150 Visual, ABC"

LT ADC: "ABC, turn right heading 150 Visual, Runway 14L, Cleared for Takeoff"
ABC: "Right heading 150 Visual, Runway 12, Cleared for Takeoff, ABC"

The LTA controller can suspend/resume Auto Release at any time, with the concurrence of LT ADC.

LT ADC shall give heads-up coordination to LTA controller prior to the issue of the following clearances:
a) VFR Departures
b) Aircraft using a runway not on the ATIS

The Standard Assignable level from LT ADC to LTA is:
For IFR Aircraft: A080
For VFR Aircraft: The lower of A045 or the RFL.

Arrivals/Overfliers

LTA will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from LTA CTA to LT ADC.
IFR aircraft will be cleared for the coordinated approach (Instrument or Visual) prior to handoff to LT ADC, unless LT ADC nominates a restriction.
VFR aircraft require a level readback.

Phraseology

LTA -> LT ADC: "via IRSOM for the DGA, TFW"
LT ADC -> LTA: "TFW, DGA"
