Airspace
ES ADC owns no airspace. Release may be available from ES APP for circuits.
Flight Category
Recovering military aircraft must automatically revert to VFR at the following points:
- At the initial point when recovering via military stream landing pattern (initial and pitch)
- At Hi-Key
- Following a touch and go, go-around, or visual overshoot when a local IFR aircraft has indicated an intention to join the circuit
Runway Modes
Single runway operations only.
Circuit Procedures
The East Sale Circuit Area (ESL CIRA) is active at all times when R360A is active.
Circuit operations occur within a 5NM
radius of ESL ARP, at the following altitudes:
Type | Normal Altitude | Low Level Altitude | |
---|---|---|---|
Day | Night | ||
Non Jet | A010 | A004 | Circling Minima |
Jet | A015 | A006 | Circling Minima |
Circuit Direction
Runway | Direction |
---|---|
09 | Left |
22 | Left |
04 | Right |
27 | Right |
No more than the following aircraft shall be permitted to operate in the circuit area at any one time:
ESL Day | ESL Night | WSL Day | WSL Night | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aircraft Count | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
Low Approach
By day, pilots of local aircraft may request a low approach. Pilots are responsible for ensuring that no collision risk exists and that there is suitable spacing to continue the approach and for the potential/subsequent go-around.
Standard Taxi Routes
Runway | Outbound Route | Inbound Route |
---|---|---|
Runway 27 | E2 or Eastern Check Bays | D2 |
Runway 09 | D2 or Western Check Bays | E2 |
Runway 22 | E2 or Eastern Check Bays | J |
Runway 04 | J | D2 |
Helicopter Operations
Circuits
When RWY09/27 is being used for fixed-wing circuit training, it is preferred that helicopters utilise the threshold of runway 04 (runway 09/27 direction) for landing and take-off to increase segregation between final approach and upwind segments. When helicopters require use of TWY A (Pad Alpha) for circuit training, base turns should be sequenced to avoid conflict during the final approach segment.
Lanes
The 16 individual training areas within the ESL military airspace are separated by 4 outbound lanes. These lanes are used by aircraft transiting to/from exterior training areas or for entry and exit of ESL military airspace.
Lanes are defined by GNSS waypoints situated at 12, 35, and 50 NM from YMES AD.
Outbound Lanes
Lane Direction | 12NM GNSS Waypoint | 35NM GNSS Waypoint | 50NM GNSS Waypoint | Bearing |
---|---|---|---|---|
Northern | LEKEM | GONEB | LANOS | 359 |
Eastern | VEMDA | KADRU | TAVET | 090 |
Southern | SABAX | LUTUK | NOLOX | 180 |
Western | DUGAD | LERKO | DUNNE | 270 |
Lanes extend from SFC
or the base of restricted airspace to F160
. Aircraft departing ESL military airspace may be instructed to track via a lane at or below F160
.
Phraseology
BRCT21 is departing East Sale via the Eastern Lane at FL110 to YORB
ES SMC -> BRCT21: "BRCT21 cleared to YORB via Eastern Lane, flight plan route, climb to F110, squawk 5072, departure frequency 123.3"
Coordination
Auto Release
Next coordination is required from ES ADC to ES TCU for all aircraft.
The Standard Assignable Level from ES ADC to ES TCU is:
Aircraft | Level |
---|---|
Fixed-wing | The lower of F160 and RFL |
Rotary-wing | The lower of A040 and RFL |
Helicopters departing from helicopter spots will be treated as if departing from the duty runway.
Phraseology
PSDN14 is a VFR helicopter departing from the threshold of RWY04 (in the direction of runway 27)
ES ADC -> ES TCU: "Next, PSDN14, runway 27"
ES TCU -> ES ADC: "PSDN14, right turn, unrestricted"
ES ADC -> ES TCU: "Right turn, PSDN14"
