Airspace
AY ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the AY CTR SFC to A045.
Refer to Class D Tower Separation Standards for more information.
Surveillance
Surveillance coverage can be expected to be available at all levels in the AY CTR. Although AY ADC is not permitted to use surveillance for separation, ELW(BLA) may assist by establishing surveillance separation standards via coordination
Local Lateral Separation Points
Due to the convergence of inbound/outbound air routes approaching AY, the geographic feature separation standard may be useful to efficiently process opposite direction aircraft from the north.
The Hume Highway is a good reference for this standard.
Phraseology
XEB is inbound to YMAY from the north and has reported visual. They are vertically separated from an outbound aircraft departing YMAY to the northeast.
AY ADC: "XEB, track to remain at least 1nm west of the Hume Highway, report established"
XEB: "Track to remain at least 1nm west of the Hume Highway, XEB"
XEB: "XEB, established 1nm west of the Hume Highway"
XEB is now laterally separated from aircraft over east of the highway
AY ADC: "XEB, requirement to remain at least 1nm west of the highway, cleared visual approach"
XEB: "Remain at least 1nm west of the highway, cleared visual approach, XEB"
Coordination
Departures
A 'Next' call is made for all aircraft entering ELW(BLA) CTA when they are next to depart. AY ADC must inform ELW(BLA) if the aircraft does not depart within 2 minutes of the next call.
Phraseology
AY ADC -> BLA: "Next, AM324"
BLA -> AY ADC: "AM324, Unrestricted"
AY ADC -> BLA: "AM324"
The Standard Assignable level from AY TWR to ELW(BLA) is the lower of A070 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.
Arrivals/Overfliers
ELW(BLA) will heads-up coordinate all arrivals/overfliers to AY ADC
Phraseology
BLA -> AY ADC: "Via ARRAN1 Arrival, RXA6783”
AY ADC -> BLA: "RXA6783"
The Standard Assignable level from ELW(BLA) to AY ADC is A080, any other level must be prior coordinated.
