Airspace
AY ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the AY keyhole BCTA to A045.
Refer to Class D Tower Separation Standards for more information.
Manoeuvring Area
Note
The vatSys ground map includes new taxiways which some simulators may not include. Some pilots will be unable to accept taxi via:
- Taxiway A
- Taxiway C east of C1
Separation
Local Lateral Separation Points
Due to the convergence of inbound/outbound air routes approaching AY, the geographic feature separation standard may be useful to efficiently process opposite direction aircraft from the north.
The Hume Highway is a good reference for this standard.
Phraseology
XEB is inbound to YMAY from the north and has reported visual. They are vertically separated from an outbound aircraft departing YMAY to the northeast.
AY ADC: "XEB, track to remain at least 1nm west of the Hume Highway, report established"
XEB: "Track to remain at least 1nm west of the Hume Highway, XEB"
XEB: "XEB, established 1nm west of the Hume Highway"
XEB is now laterally separated from aircraft over east of the highway
AY ADC: "XEB, requirement to remain at least 1nm west of the highway, cleared visual approach"
XEB: "Remain at least 1nm west of the highway, cleared visual approach, XEB"
Surveillance
Surveillance coverage can be expected to be available at all levels in the AY CTR. Although AY ADC is not permitted to use surveillance for separation, BLA may assist by establishing surveillance separation standards via coordination
SID Selection
Aircraft planned via DUGGI and UGVER shall be assigned the Procedural SID that terminates at the appropriate SID terminus. Aircraft not planned via any of these waypoints shall receive amended routing via the most appropriate SID terminus, unless the pilot indicates they are unable to accept a Procedural SID.
Coordination
Departures
Next coordination is required from AY ADC to BLA for all aircraft entering BLA CTA.
The Standard Assignable level from AY ADC to BLA is:
| Aircraft | Level |
|---|---|
| All | The lower of A070 and RFL |
Arrivals/Overfliers
BLA will heads-up coordinate all arrivals/overfliers to AY ADC
Phraseology
BLA -> AY ADC: "Via ARRAN1 Arrival, RXA6783”
AY ADC -> BLA: "RXA6783"
The Standard Assignable level from BLA to AY ADC is A080, any other level must be prior coordinated.
