Note
YCIN is a joint military/civil aerodrome and procedures can differ significantly to those at a civil aerodrome. Ensure you are familiar with the military controller skills necessary to provide a quality service.
Airspace
CIN ADC is responsible for the Class C airspace within the R825 restricted area, SFC to A035.
Restricted Area Activations
When CIN ADC is online, the R825 restricted area SFC to A035 is activated by default.
Manoeuvring Area
Recommended Taxi Routes
Except when the traffic situation warrants, taxi clearances shall conform to the following diagram:
Local Procedures
Initial and Pitch
The intial points are aligned with Taxiway A at the following locations.
| RWY | Initial Point | Altitude |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | 5NM downwind, over Derby Highway | A020 |
| 29 | 4.3NM downwind, over the Defence land perimeter boundary | A020 |
Military Gates
There are numerous military gates established throughout the CIN TMA to facilitate entry and exit to adjoining SUA.
Pilots should include the desired departure gate when requesting clearance.
Phraseology
OBAK11 plans to enter the R806A restricted area via Gate 12 for military training and airwork.
OBAK11: "Curtin Delivery, OBAK11 for Gate 12, F190 for R806A, request clearance."
CIN ACD: "OBAK11, Curtin Delivery. cleared Gate 12 direct, climb to F190, squawk 6001, departure frequency 121.0."
If the pilot does not nominate a gate, or nominates a gate that does not provide access to their intended SUA, CIN ACD should clear the aircraft to depart via the appropriate gate.
| Intended SUA | TCU Exit Gate |
|---|---|
| R803A-B | 2 or 4 |
| R804A-B | 6 |
| R805A-B | 8 |
| R806A-B | 10 or 12 |
Tip
Coordination requirements exist between ACD and TCU when aircraft are requesting clearance to operate in an SUA that has not been activated. Controllers performing the role of ACD should ensure they coordinate with TCU before providing clearance.
Runway Modes
Circuit Direction
| Runway | Direction |
|---|---|

Departures Controller
When a TCU controller is online, aircraft shall be issued with a departure frequency during their airways clearance in accordance with the table below. If no TCU controllers are online, the advisory frequency or appropriate enroute frequency shall be issued.
| Runway | Via | Departure Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| All | All | 121.0 (CIA) |
ACD to CIN TCU
The controller assuming responsibility of ACD shall give heads-up coordination to CIA (or the enroute controller responsible for the CIN TCU) prior to the issue of a clearance to an aircraft intending to operate in an SUA that has not been activated.
