CPDLC

The Primary Communication Method for ISA is CPDLC.

The CPDLC Station Code is YISA.

Voice may be used in lieu when applicable.

Airspace

Territory Airspace

Territory Airspace

TRT is responsible for TRS, ASH, and KIY, when they are offline.

Reclassifications

BRM CTR

When BRM ADC is offline, BRM CTR (Class D/E SFC to A055) reverts to Class G, and is administered by ASH. Alternatively, ASH may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish.

Tip

If choosing not to provide a top down service, consider publishing an ATIS Zulu for the aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification. The More ATIS plugin has a formatted Zulu ATIS message.

TN TCU

TN TCU being online will activate the following Airspace by default:

  • TN MIL CTR SFC-A025
  • R249A A015-A025
  • R249B A025-F190
  • R238 A035-F190

All of which are reclassified as Class C when active, and TN APP has Control Authority of.

Note

TN APP may negotiate with TRS for an increase to the upper limit of the Restricted Areas and their airspace, if required for military operations. This limit may also be changed by NOTAM.

Extending

Important

Due to the large geographical area covered by this sector and it's neighbours, controllers are reminded of their obligations under the ATS Policy when extending. Ensure that you have sufficiently placed visibility points to cover your primary sector and any secondary, extended sectors in their entirety.

Sector Responsibilities

TRT and TRS are responsible for sequencing, issuing STAR Clearances, and issuing descent for aircraft bound for YPDN.
ASH is responsible for issuing descent and ascertaining arrival intentions for aircraft bound for YBRM. ASH is also responsible for sequencing and issuing descent to aircraft bound for YCIN.

STAR Clearance Expectation

Handoff

Aircraft being transferred to the following sectors shall be told to Expect STAR Clearance on handoff:

Transferring Sector Receiving Sector ADES Notes
ASH, KIY TRT, TRS YPDN

First Contact

Aircraft being transferred from the following sectors shall be given STAR Clearance on first contact:

Transferring Sector Receiving Sector ADES Notes
KIY, ASH, ISA(ARA/STR) TRT, TRS YPDN

Coordination

Enroute

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.

TRT Internal

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.

DN TCU

Airspace

DN TCU owns the airspace within a 40NM radius of the DN DME from SFCF180

DN TCU is also responsible for Active Restricted Area R264 A-K and R230 A-F

DAW may request DN TCU (SFCF240) from TRT to facilitate military transits to/from R264 A-K and R230 A-F

Refer to Darwin TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when DAW is online.

Arrivals/Overfliers

Voiceless for all aircraft:

  • With ADES YPDN; and
  • Assigned a STAR; and
  • Assigned A100

All other aircraft coming from TRT CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to DN TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.

Departures

Voiceless for all aircraft:

  • Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
  • Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL

All other aircraft going to TRT CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by DN TCU.

BRM ADC

Airspace

BRM ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace SFC to A055, as well as the Class E airspace 1200ft AGL to A055, within the BRM CTR.

Departures

Departures from YBRM in to ASH CTA will be coordinated when ready for departure.

Phraseology

BRM ADC -> ASH: "Next, ANO333"
ASH -> BRM ADC: "ANO333, Unrestricted"
BRM ADC -> ASH: "ANO333"

The Standard Assignable level from BRM ADC to TRT(ASH) is the lower of A050 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.

Arrivals

YBRM arrivals shall be heads-up coordinated to BRM ADC from TRT prior to 5 mins from the boundary.

Phraseology

TRT -> BRM ADC: "Via SAFIR, FD621”
BRM ADC -> TRT: "FD621"

The Standard Assignable level from TRT(ASH) to BRM ADC is A060, any other level must be prior coordinated.

CIN TCU

Airspace

The limits of the CIN TCU are SFC to F200 within 25 DME CIN. This may be amended by NOTAM.

Arrivals/Overfliers

The Standard assignable level from ASH to CIN TCU is F130, tracking via CIN VOR.

All other aircraft must be voice coordinated to CIN TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.

Departures

The Standard Assignable level from CIN TCU to ASH is F190, and tracking via their planned route.

CIN ADC

When CIN TCU is offline, coordination is not required between ASH and CIN ADC. Aircraft entering CIN ADC airspace shall be handed off, and instructed to contact CIN ADC for onwards clearance.

CIN ADC owns the Class C airspace within the CIN MIL CTR from SFC to A015.

TN TCU

Airspace

Any airspace releases from the default setup must be coordinated and agreed upon with TRT(TRS). It is also good practice to remind them of any airspace releases that may be active due to NOTAMs.

Departures

Voiceless for all aircraft:

  • Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
  • Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL

All other aircraft going to TRS CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated by TN TCU prior to the boundary.

Phraseology

TN TCU -> TRS: "DRGN48, request DCT BEBEX"
TRS -> TN TCU: "DRGN48, concur DCT BEBEX"

Arrivals/Overfliers

Voiceless for all aircraft:

  • Tracking via TN; and
  • Assigned the lower of F130 or the RFL.

All other aircraft coming from TRS CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated to TN TCU.

Phraseology

TRS -> TN TCU: "via NOLEK, FD858"
TN TCU -> TRS: "FD858, F150"

IND(INE) (Oceanic)

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 15 mins to boundary.

Aircraft must have their identification terminated and be instructed to make a position report on first contact with the next (procedural) sector.

Phraseology

ISA: "QFA121, identification terminated, report position to Brisbane Radio, 129.25"

International (WAAF)

As per Standard coordination procedures, Heads-up Coordination required for all aircraft prior to 30 mins from boundary.

Phraseology

TRT -> WAAF CTR: "Estimate, SIA236, KIKEM time 21, F320"
WAAF CTR -> TRT: "SIA236, F320"
