Auto Release
Next coordination is not required to BAA for aircraft that are:

- Assigned a Procedural SID
All other aircraft require a 'Next' call to BAA.
The Standard Assignable level from BA ADC to BAA is:
| Aircraft | Level |

Arrivals/Overfliers
BAA will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from Class C to BA ADC prior to 5 mins from the boundary.
IFR aircraft will be cleared for the coordinated approach (Instrument or Visual) prior to handoff to BA ADC, unless BA ADC nominates a restriction.
VFR aircraft require a level readback.
