Maneuvering Area Responsibility
The area of responsibility between SMC West and East is divided by Runway 03/21.
Everything West of the Runway belongs to SMC West, everything East of the Runway belongs to SMC East.
Runway Selection
Southwest Plan
With the Southwest Plan active, all departures shall be assigned runway 21. Arrivals will be processed to either runway 21 or 24.
Northeast Plan
With the Northeast Plan active, departures via AVNEX, OTLED, OLMAM, SOLUS, and OPEGA shall be assigned runway 03. All other departures shall be assigned runway 06. All arrivals will be processed to runway 03.

Circuit training traffic shall be issued SSR code and clearance to operate within circuit area not above A015. Circuit training is typically conducted on Runway 03/21.
All circuits are to be conducted to the east of Runway 03/21 (right-hand circuit Runway 03).
Helicopter Operations
There are no helipad facilities at YPPH. Helicopters should be issued an airways clearance in accordance with the fixed-wing operation applicable to their flight rules (i.e. SID for IFR helicopters, VFR departure via appropriate VFR route if necessary for VFR helicopters). Helicopters should be cleared to takeoff/land from runways or taxiways, as deemed appropriate by ADC. The point of takeoff/landing must be specified by ADC.
