Non-Standard Positions

Non-standard positions may only be used in accordance with VATPAC Air Traffic Services Policy.
Approval must be sought from the bolded parent position prior to opening a Non-Standard Position, unless NOTAMs indicate otherwise (eg, for events).

CPDLC

The Primary Communication Method for INL is Voice.

CPDLC may be used in lieu when applicable.

The CPDLC Station Code is YINL.

Tip

Even though INL's Primary Communication Method is Voice, CPDLC may be used for Overfliers.

Airspace

GOL is responsible for the BN TCU when BN TCU is offline.
INL is responsible for DOS, GOL, SDY, BUR, and NSA when they are offline.

Reclassifications

SU CTR

When SU ADC is offline, SU CTR (Class D SFC to A045) reverts to Class G, and is administered by NSA and BUR. Alternatively, NSA may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish (not recommended), and this must be coordinated to BUR.

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.

CFS CTR

When CFS ADC is offline, CFS CTR (Class D SFC to A045) reverts to Class G, and is administered by MNN and INL. Alternatively, INL may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish (not recommended), and this must be coordinated to ARL(MNN).

Due to the low ceiling of CTA, when CFS ADC is offline, INL shall instruct aircraft departing into CTA to report lined up on the runway and issue an airways clearance (traffic pending) at that time.

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.

Sequencing in to YBBN

Aircraft assigned the same runway inbound via:

BLAKA and GOMOL
SMOKA and MORBI

Must be considered to be on the same STAR for sequencing purposes. That is, they must be at least 2 minutes apart at their respective Feeder fixes.

Holding Fixes

Refer to the vatSys Enroute Holds map for details of published holds on the airways inbound to YBBN. Where delays necessitate holding, aircraft should be instructed to hold at the following positions. The listed time should be subtracted from an aircraft's assigned feeder fix time to determine when they should leave the hold.

Feeder Fix	Holding Fix	Time from Hold to Feeder Fix
TEBOT	ATROP	2 min
UGTUG	SAVER	2 min
Others	Feeder Fix	-

Tip

Additional holding may be performed at upstream holding fixes to reduce controller workload. This is particularly useful when non-standard child sectors have been opened, allowing aircraft to absorb some of their delay in the previous sector.

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
INL	ARL	YSSY
INL	GOL	YBSU
NSA, BUR	KPL	YBMK, YBRK

First Contact

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

Transferring Sector	Receiving Sector	ADES
ARL/MNN/MDE	INL, DOS	YBBN, YBCG
TSN(All)	SDY	YBBN, YBCG, YBSU
KPL/CVN	BUR, DOS	YBBN, YBCG
INL	GOL	YBSU

YBBN STAR Assignment

PROPS

When operating a PROPS Runway Mode, Aircraft shall be assigned the appropriate 'Alpha' STAR (or other STAR on pilot request), with the following runway selection:

FF	Runway
BLAKA	01R/19L
GOMOL	01R/19L
UGTUG	01R/19R
TEBOT	01R/19R
MORBI	01L/19R
SMOKA	01L/19R
WOODY	01L/19R
ENLIP	01L/19L
Other aircraft:
From the NORTH and WEST	01L/19R
From the SOUTH and EAST	01R/19L

These standard runway assignments may be modified strategically by the BAS or BFL controller.

Example

During an event, the vast majority of traffic is coming from BLAKA and GOMOL feeder fixes. BAS/BFL may elect to assign 19L to BLAKA arrivals and 19R to GOMOL arrivals, to keep them strategically spearated in the TCU.

BFL -> INL: "All arrivals via GOMOL to be assigned 19R until further notice"
INL -> BFL: "Roger, Arrivals via GOMOL to be assigned 19R"

SODPROPS

When operating the SODPROPS Runway Mode, aircraft via ENLIP, BLAKA, GOMOL and UGTUG, shall be assigned the ISPON STAR with the appropriate transition. Aircraft via other Feeder fixes may be assigned the standard STAR.

YAMB Coded Clearances

Coded Clearances are available inbound and outbound from the AMB TMA to provided a standardised corridor for fast jet aircraft.

Tip

Descriptions of the coded clearances are available in the FIHA AD2 Supps.

Inbound

Fast jet aircraft leaving offshore SUA or arriving to YAMB from the east shall be cleared via one of the following coded clearances:

Arrival	Level	Route
Northern 4	`F200`	MOSSI LESKO BOBED JEZZA ANKED, or ANKED LESKO BOBED JEZZA ANKED
Central 4	`F200`	VIRGE BOBED JEZZA ANKED
Byron 2	`F200`	SEMAJ LOTMA ZANET LAGOB TUGUN

Phraseology

CRNG21 plans to depart M649 and return to YAMB.
SDY: "CRNG21, cleared to YAMB via VIRGE thence CENTRAL 4, maintain F200"

Important

The Coded Clearances are not present in vatSys, so the name of the Coded Clearance must be written in the Global Ops Field of the FDR and flight plan route amended to include all relevant tracking points.

Outbound

Fast jet aircraft departing YAMB to the east may be cleared for a coded clearance departure by AMB ACD. ACD will update the FDR route field with the respective tracking points and write the departure name in the Global Ops Field.

The routes are shown below:

Departure	Level	Route
Northern 3	`F190`	BINUP MURJO BOBED LESKO MOSSI, or BINUP MURJO BOBED LESKO ADNUK
Central 3	`F190`	BINUP MURJO BOBED VIRGE
Byron 1	`F190`	COWIE KIWEE ZANET LOTMA SEMAJ

Coordination

Airspace

The Vertical limits of the BN TCU are SFC to F180, except in BAC airspace, where it is SFC to A075 in the North West, and SFC to F125 in the South East.

Refer to Brisbane TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when BAS, BDN and/or BDS are online.

Arrivals/Overfliers

Voiceless for all aircraft:

With ADES YBBN or YBCG; and
Assigned a STAR; and
Assigned A090 for YBBN arrivals; or
Assigned F130 for YBCG arrivals

Additionally, Voiceless coordination may be used for YBCG arrivals tracking via BN and assigned F190.

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

Departures

Voiceless for aircraft:

With ADEP YBBN
- Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
- Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL
With ADEP YBCG
- Tracking via APAGI and assigned the lower of F120 or the RFL; or
- Tracking via BN and assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL
With ADES YBSU
- Assigned the ITIDE STAR; and
- Assigned F130

All other aircraft going to INL CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by BN TCU.

Enroute

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

INL Internal

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 20nm (reduced from 50nm) to boundary.

That being said, it is advised that INL(All) give Heads-up Coordination to the relevant sector prior to 20nm from the boundary in the following scenarios:

INL to DOS for all aircraft
DOS to BUR, NSA, GOL and INL for all aircraft
SDY to NSA, GOL and INL for all aircraft

SU ADC

Airspace

SU ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the SU CTR SFC to A045.

Refer to Reclassifications for operations when SU ADC is offline.

Departures

Next coordination is required from SU ADC to NSA/BUR for all aircraft entering NSA/BUR CTA.

The Standard Assignable level from SU ADC to NSA/BUR is:

Aircraft	Level
All	The lower of `A040` and `RFL`

Where possible (and no possible conflict exists), a higher level shall be assigned by NSA/BUR for high performance aircraft during next coordination.

Arrivals

NSA must ensure all YBSU arrivals have been assigned a STAR, unless the pilot is unable to accept one.
YBSU arrivals shall be coordinated to SU ADC from NSA prior to 5 mins from the boundary.

Phraseology

NSA -> SU ADC: "via ITIDE2W Arrival, JST731"
SU ADC -> NSA: "JST731"

The Standard Assignable level from NSA to SU ADC is A060, any other level must be prior coordinated.

CFS ADC

Airspace

CFS ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the CFS CTR SFC to A045.

Refer to Reclassifications for operations when CFS ADC is offline.

Departures

Next coordination is required from CFS ADC to INL for all aircraft entering INL CTA.

The Standard Assignable level from CFS ADC to INL is:

Aircraft	Level
All	The lower of `A070` and `RFL`

Where possible (and no possible conflict exists), a higher level shall be assigned by for high performance aircraft during next coordination.

Arrivals

YCFS arrivals shall be coordinated to CFS ADC from INL prior to 5 mins from the boundary.

Phraseology

INL -> CFS ADC: "via IDNER, VET"
CFS ADC -> INL: "VET"

The Standard Assignable level from INL to CFS ADC is A080, any other level must be prior coordinated.

OK TCU / AMB TCU

Airspace

By default, OK TCU owns the airspace within the R654A-D restricted areas, and AMB TCU owns the airspace within the R625A-D restricted areas, unless stated otherwise by ad-hoc release or NOTAM.

Departures

All aircraft from AMB/OK TCU to INL(All) require Heads-up coordination prior to the boundary. Expect this coordination to be completed a short time after the aircraft becomes airborne (pending controller workload).

Phraseology

AMB TCU -> NSA: "via COWIE, BUCK03."
NSA -> AMB TCU: "BUCK03, F190"

Arrivals/Overfliers

All aircraft transiting from INL(All) to OK TCU and AMB TCU must be heads-up coordinated prior to 20nm from the boundary. Operations within OK TCU and AMB TCU are fairly ad-hoc, so there are no standard assignable levels. ENR and TCU controllers should coordinate to determine the most suitable level.

Phraseology

GOL -> AMB TCU: "via HUUGO, STAL13, what level can I assign?"
AMB TCU -> GOL: "STAL13, A090"
GOL -> AMB TCU: "A090, STAL13"

TSN(HWE/FLD) (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

INL: "QFA121, identification terminated, report position to Brisbane Radio, 126.45"
