Note
Visually monitor all aircraft to ensure tracking South of Bolivar Strobe, to ensure aircraft remain outside of Edinburgh CTR.
ATIS
Operational Info
ATIS broadcast BY DAY shall follow the format:
RWY 21R (OR 03L) FOR ARRS & DEPS WEST, RWY 21L (OR 03R) ARRS & DEPS EAST
OR
RWY 26R (OR 08L) FOR ARRS & DEPS, RWY 26L (OR 08R) FOR CCT TRAINING
ATIS broadcast BY NIGHT shall follow the format:
RWY 21R (OR 03L) FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Approach Expectation
The APCH field should include EXP INST APCH when:
- the ceiling is at or below A020; or
- visibility is less than 5000m
Coordination
Departures
When the aircraft is ready for departure, PF ADC will coordinate with the relevant Class C sector above them for permission to release the aircraft into their CTA.
Phraseology
PF ADC -> AAW: "Next, XMM, 03L"
AAW -> PF ADC: "XMM, Heading 020, unrestricted"
PF ADC -> AAW: "Heading 020, XMM"
The Standard Assignable level from PF ADC to AD TCU is the lower of A030 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.
Arrivals
AD TCU will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from Class C to PF ADC.
IFR aircraft will be cleared for the coordinated approach (Instrument or Visual) prior to handoff to PF ADC, unless PF ADC nominates a restriction.
VFR aircraft require a level readback.
Phraseology
AAW -> PF ADC: "via PAL, YTS"
PF ADC -> AAW: "YTS, A010"
Tip
Remember that IFR aircraft are only separated from other IFR or SVFR aircraft in class D. You should generally be able to issue a clearance for an approach and use other separation methods (visual separation, holding a departure on the ground) if separation is required with these aircraft.
