Airspace
AMB ADC owns the Class C airspace in the AMB CTR within 10nm of the YAMB ARP from SFC to A015. This airspace is primarily used for military circuits and initial and pitch approaches.
YAMB Aerodrome
SID Selection
Aircraft planned via BN, JEDDA, MESED, BOBOP, TATEN, shall be assigned the Procedural SID that terminates at the appropriate waypoint. Aircraft who are not planned via those points or who are negative RNAV may be assigned a RADAR SID or a visual departure.
Coded Departures (Fast Jets)
Visual Departures are commonly requested by high performance military jets and often processed in the form of a coded departure (e.g. BYRON7 departure), which can be found in the AD2 Sups Page for YAMB. These coded departures provide a corridor with altitude constraints to join the Military Training Areas east of Brisbane, avoiding civilian traffic inbound to Brisbane.
Aircraft will depart the circuit visually and track overhead YAMB to begin tracking for their initial waypoint.
Example
CRNG21 plans to enter R637 via the gate MOSSI for Military Training.
AMB ADC: "CRNG21, cleared to YAMB via MOSSI, flight planned route. Runway 15, Northern 1 Departure. Climb to F190. Squawk 3601, Departure Frequency 126.20"
Example
WOLF03 was assiged the BYRON7 departure with their initial clearance.
AMB ADC: "WOLF03, make left turn, reach F190 by COWIE, cleared for takeoff"
WOLF03: "Make left turn, reach F190 by COWIE, cleared for takeoff, WOLF03"
| Departure | Initial Constraint | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Northern 1 | F190 at BINUP |
BINUP MURJO BOBED LESKO MOSSI/ADNUK (Transition) |
| Central 1 | F190 at BINUP |
BINUP MURJO BOBED VIRGE |
| Byron 7 | F190 at BINUP |
COWIE KIWEE ZANET LOTMA SEMAJ |
Note
Charts for the Coded Departures may be in YAMB AD2 Supplements 6.2.25.11 available here: RAAF AIP page
Note
Since the Coded Departures are not SIDs, AMB ACD needs to write the name of the coded departure in the Global Ops Field of the FDR and amend the flight plan route to include all relevant tracking points.
Runway Operations
Runways 15/33 are the primary runways at YAMB.

Additional charts to the AIP may be found in the RAAF TERMA document, available towards the bottom of RAAF AIP page
Miscellaneous
Circuit Operations
The Circuit Area Airspace is allocated to be within 5nm of the YAMB ARP from SFC to A015. Aircraft can be instructed to extend outside of this airspace by ATC for traffic management.
Circuit Direction
| Runway | Direction |
|---|---|
| 15 | Right |
| 33 | Left |
| 04 | Left |
| 22 | Left |
Coordination
AMB TCU
'Next' coordination is required from AMB ADC to AMB TCU for all aircraft.
Example
AMB ADC -> AMB TCU: "Next, ASY01, runway 33"
AMB TCU -> AMB ADC: "ASY01, Assigned Heading Right 030, unrestricted"
AMB ADC -> AMB TCU: "Assigned Heading Heading Right 030, ASY01"
Level Assignment
The Standard Assignable Level from AMB ADC to AMB TCU is:
a) The Lower of F180 or RFL for Aircraft assigned via Procedural or RNAV SID.
b) F190 for Aircraft assigned a Coded Departure.
