Coordination

Departures

Auto Release

'Next' coordination is not required to RKA for aircraft that are:
a) Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and
b) Assigned the standard assignable level; and
c) Assigned a Procedural SID

Example

RK ADC -> RKA: "Next, VJE"
RKA -> RK ADC: "VJE, Track Extended Centreline, Unrestricted"
RK ADC -> RKA: "Track Extended Centreline, VJE"

The TCU controller can suspend/resume Auto Release at any time, with the concurrence of RKA.

The Standard Assignable level from MK/RK ADC to MKA/RKA is the lower of A060 or the RFL.

MK/RK SMC

The controller assuming responsibility of SMC shall give heads-up coordination to RKA controller prior to the issue of the following clearances:

  • VFR Departures
  • Aircraft using a runway not on the ATIS

Arrivals/Overfliers

RKA will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from Class C to RK ADC.
IFR aircraft will be cleared for the coordinated approach (Instrument or Visual) prior to handoff to RK ADC, unless RK ADC nominates a restriction.
VFR aircraft require a level readback.

Example

RKA -> RK ADC: "Via SARUS for the visual approach, VJN”
RK ADC -> RKA: "VJN, visual approach"
