3. Perth (YPPH)

Runway Modes

Depending on wind limitations, there are two possible Runway Modes in use at YPPH:

24A21D

Enroute will assign Runway 21 to arrivals that operationally require it

All arrivals on Runway 21/24 will be cleared for the ILS Approach.

Airspace Division

Non-Standard airspace division will be in use.

The red line represents the STAR to the arrival runway.
The solid green line represents the SID to AVNEX.

24A21D Airspace Division

24A21D Airspace Division

03A06D

Enroute will enter XX in the scratchpad for arrivals that are unable to Land and Hold Short of Runway 06.

Departures that operationally require Runway 03 will be assigned the PH7 SID with Runway Heading. PHD shall clear these aircraft DCT ESDEG when practical.

All arrivals on Runway 03 will be cleared for the ILS Approach.

Airspace Division

Non-Standard airspace division will be in use.

The red line represents the STAR to the arrival runway.
The solid green line represents the SID to AVNEX.
The dashed green line represents the suggested vectors for 06 departures.

03A06D Airspace Division

Flow

PFL will formulate the sequence in accordance with the Flow Times below. Ensure that event traffic gets priority over non-event traffic.

PFL will construct the sequence via the Arrivals List Window.

Appropriate annotations for the Arrivals List Window can be found here.

Times

The times below indicate the number of minutes from KABLI to the Runway Threshold on the Alpha STAR.

Runway Time
03 16
21 16
24 14

Subtract 1 minute if assigned MX or CSR.

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

PHA: "VOZ721, Traffic is QFA25, a 747 4nm ahead. Caution Wake Turbulence"
VOZ721: "VOZ721"

Speeds

PIY will instruct all arrivals to cross KABLI at 250 knots, then published STAR speeds.

Runway 21 vs Runway 24 Arrivals

The KABLI1A STAR is approximately 2 minutes longer on Runway 21 vs Runway 24. Take this in to account when building the sequence.

Coordination

PH ADC

Auto Release

Standard as per PH TCU Local Instructions, with the exception of auto-release being available for 06 Departures assigned Runway Heading during the the 03A06D Runway Mode

PHD to LEA

Voiceless for all aircraft:

  • Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL; and
  • Tracking via AVNEX or ESDEG

All other aircraft going to LEA CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated.

PIY to PHA

Standard as per PH TCU Local Instructions, with the exception of:

  • During the 24A21D Runway Mode, arrivals assigned Runway 21 may be handed off to PHA on a Heading north of the Runway 24 arrivals, without coordination.

PIY to PHA 24A21D

PIY to PHA 24A21D

Between PIY/HYD and PFL

PFL will construct the sequence via the Arrivals List Window.

Appropriate annotations for the Arrivals List Window can be found here.

PFL must voice coordinate any changes to instructions after PIY/HYD has put a < on it.

PIY/HYD must voice coordinate any requests for Track Shortening, CSR, or Victor/Xray STARs, to PFL.
