Pushback Delays

SMC will be responsible for delaying aircraft's pushback requests, in order to avoid overloading the taxiways.

If there are more than 5 aircraft in the queue at the Holding Point for the departure runway, do not approve any more pushback requests.

OzStrips

All aerodrome controllers must be familiar with the VATPAC recommended workflow for OzStrips.

Ensure the Queue function is used to actively to keep track of the order of requests.

Tower Control (ADC)

Runway 14R/32L Release

Runway 14R/32L will be used for taxiing. The Runway is released to SMC by default.

Departure Spacing

Ensure that a minimum of 90 second spacing is applied between subsequent departures from the same runway.

Wake Turbulence Separation

Due to the tight sequence, there are times that Wake Turbulence Separation cannot practically be applied.

When a following aircraft is of a lighter Wake Turbulence Category than the preceding aircraft, a traffic statement and wake turbulence caution shall be issued.

Example

AYPY ADC: "ANG3, 747 has just departed. Caution Wake Turbulence. Runway 32L, Cleared for Takeoff"
ANG3: "Cleared for Takeoff Runway 32L, ANG3"

Runway Vacating Instructions

To minimise runway occupancy, it is essential that aircraft vacate the runway without delay. ADC shall instruct all arriving aircraft to vacate via the following exits when issued a landing clearance:

Landing Runway Exit

32R F

If aircraft miss these exits, they should be instructed to vacate via A (landing 32R) or via the grass (landing 14L) without delay.
