Non-Standard Positions
Non-standard positions may only be used in accordance with VATPAC Air Traffic Services Policy.
Approval must be sought from the bolded parent position prior to opening a Non-Standard Position, unless NOTAMs indicate otherwise (eg, for events).
Dual ADC Operations
When Jandakot ADC (Circuit) is online, responsibility for the Runway, Circuit, and Airspace is divided between the two ADC controllers.
ADC West takes responsibility for the North-West Runway, Circuit and Airspace (Runway 06L/24R), and the entire JT CTR at A015.
ADC (Circuit) takes responsibility for the South-East Runway, Circuit and Airspace (Runway 06R/24L) at or below A010.
ADC (Circuit) is not permitted online when Single Runway Operations are in use.
Refer to the ATIS section for information on ATIS formatting when ADC East is online.
Airspace
JT ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the JT CTR SFC to A015.
Dual ADC Operations
Airspace Ownership when ADC East is online, is:
- At
A015; owned entirely by ADC West - At or below
A010; split between ADC Circuit/West down the middle of the 06L/24R and 06R/24L extended centrelines.
VFR Operations
Arrivals
VFR aircraft will report inbound at BOAT, POWR, OAKF or RUSS at A015. JT ADC will instruct aircraft to maintain A015 or remain outside the control zone (workload permitting). Aircraft will then report again at ADWD when inbound from BOAT or POWR, or FDL when inbound from OAKF or RUSS. They should then be instructed to join the circuit as below:
| VFR Approach Point | RWYs 06 | RWYs 24 | RWY 12 | RWY 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADWD | "Join base runway 06L" | "Join right downwind runway 24R, maintain A015", until the aircraft are clear of RWY 24R departures via Fiona Stanley Hospital and FREM, then "Cleared Visual Approach" | "Join final runway 12" | "Join downwind ruwnay 30, maintain A015", until the aircraft is clear of RWY 30 departures via YGB, then "Cleared Visual Approach" |
| FDL | "Join downwind runway 06L, maintain A015". Aircraft should fly overhead the airfield between the control tower and the upwind end of the runway and join the circuit. Once established in the circuit, "Cleared visual approach" | "Join right downwind runway 24R, maintain A015". Aircraft should fly overhead the airfield between the control tower and the upwind end of the runway and join the circuit. Once established in the circuit, "Cleared visual approach" | "Join right downwind runway 12" | "Join final runway 30" |
All aircraft will arrive on runway 06L/24R or 12/30.
Note
Circuit joining instructions given without an assigned altitude imply clearance to conduct the visual approach. There is no need to clear these aircraft for a visual approach.
Departures
VFR aircraft should report ready to JT ADC with their departure intentions. A takeoff clearance constitutes a clearance to depart the zone by extending the pilot's requested leg of the circuit. Aircraft departing the zone into class G airspace will transfer to area frequency upon leaving the zone, no explicit frequency transfer is given to these aircraft.
Aircraft departing a leg of the circuit will climb to and maintain the following levels until clear of the zone:
All runways: A010
VFR aircraft will depart via set outbound departure routes. Aircraft will track extended circuit legs to the departure point. These departure points include: YGB, FREM via Fiona Stanley Hospital, and SHOP.
Departures via FREM and YGB will depart on runway 06L/24R. Runway 06R/24L is used for circuit traffic and departures via SHOP.
IFR Operations
Arrivals
PH TCU will coordinate all IFR arrivals in accordance with coordination procedures.
Departures
All IFR Departures must be assigned the most appropriate SID in accordance with the aircraft's direction of flight.
| Direction | SID |
|---|---|
| South/West | TONEG |
| North/North-west | ISPET |
| East/North-east | SCARP |
Circuits
The circuit direction changes depending on tower opening hours and runway being used.
| Runway | Direction |
|---|---|
| 06L | Left |
| 06R | Right |
| 24L | Left |
| 24R | Right |
| 12 | Left |
| 30 | Left |
Circuits to be flown at A010
Helicopter Operations
General
Unless otherwise depicted in the ERSA FAC YPJT, all helicopters must comply with fixed wing procedures.
Circuits
Circuits are conducted within the lateral confines of the fixed-wing circuit at A008, in the same direction as the current runway config. The termination point of the circuit is the Main Pad.
ATIS
Runway Nomination
The ATIS must indicate the current runway config and nominate what each parallel runway is being used for. The northern runway (06L/24R) is primarily used for VFR arrivals and departures, the southern runway (06R/24L) for circuit training and departures via SHOP. The cross runway (12/30) for all arrivals/departures when weather is unsuitable for parallel runway operations.
This should be reflected on the ATIS as below:
- Single ADC:
RWY 06R/24L FOR CCTS AND DEPS VIA ARMADALE SHOPS. RWY 06L/24R FOR ARRS AND ALL OTHER DEPS - Dual ADC:
RWY 06R/24L FOR CCTS AND DEPS VIA ARMADALE SHOPS, FREQ 119.4. RWY 06L/24R FOR ARRS AND ALL OTHER DEPS, FREQ 118.1
Operational Info
When PH RWY 03 is in operation, the ATIS OPR INFO shall include:
DUE YPPH DUTY RWY 03, CAUTION WAKE TURB
Coordination
Departures
Next coordination is required from JT ADC to PH TCU for all aircraft entering PH TCU CTA.
The Standard Assignable level from JT ADC to PH TCU is:
| Aircraft | Level |
|---|---|
| All | The lower of A030 and RFL |
Arrivals/Overfliers
PH TCU will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from Class C to JT ADC.
IFR aircraft will be cleared for the coordinated approach (Instrument or Visual) prior to handoff to JT ADC, unless JT ADC nominates a restriction.
VFR aircraft require a level readback.
Phraseology
PH TCU -> JT ADC: "via RNAV-Z RWY 06L, FD416, circling to land RWY 24R"
JT ADC -> PH TCU: "FD416, RNAV-Z RWY 06L with a circle to land RWY 24R"
Tip
Remember that IFR aircraft are only separated from other IFR or SVFR aircraft in class D. You should generally be able to issue a clearance for an approach and use other separation methods (visual separation, holding a departure on the ground) if separation is required with these aircraft.
ADC (Circuit) Online
When ADC (Circuit) is online, PH TCU may not be familiar with which controller owns what airspace. Best practice is to receive the coordination no matter what, and if it was meant for the other ADC controller, relay the coordination to them internally.
JT ADC Internal
JT ADC must heads-up coordinate all aircraft transiting from one ADC controller to the other.
Phraseology
JT ADC C -> JT ADC W: "via FDL, TBN for an overfly"
JT ADC W -> JT ADC C: "TBN, A015"
