Airspace
KEN is responsible for BAR, TBP, and SWY when they are offline.
SWY is responsible for the MK TCU when MKA is offline.
BAR is responsible for the CS TCU when CS TCU is offline.
Reclassifications
TL CTR
When TL TCU is offline, TL CTR (Class C SFC
to A085
) reverts to Class G, and is administered by TBP. Alternatively, TBP may provide a top-down approach service if they wish.
HM CTR
When HM ADC is offline, HM CTR (Class D SFC
to A045
) reverts to Class G, and is administered by SWY. Alternatively, SWY may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish (not recommended).
MK CTR
Whilst the MKA controller is expected to provide a top-down service to YBMK when MK ADC is offline, this is not expected of a SWY controller when both MKA and MK ADC are offline. If electing not to provide a top-down service to YBMK, the RK CTR Class D is reclassified to Class G SFC
to A007
, and Class E A007
to A045
.

to F180
.
Refer to Reclassifications for operations when TL TCU is offline.
Arrivals/Overfliers

- Assigned a STAR; and
- Assigned
A100
All other aircraft coming from TBP CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to TL TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.
Departures
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
- Assigned the lower of
F180
or theRFL
All other aircraft going to TBP CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by TL TCU.
MKA
Airspace
MKA is responsible for the airspace within the 'MK keyhole' SFC
to F150
.
Refer to Reclassifications for operations when MKA is offline.
Arrivals
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- With ADES YBMK; and
- Assigned the DAGSI or WELKE STAR; and

All other aircraft coming from SWY CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to MKA prior to 20nm from the boundary.
Departures
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- Tracking via CLIFT or MUNAR; and
- Assigned the lower of
F150
or theRFL
All other aircraft going to SWY CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by MKA.
Airspace
When MKA is online, they own up to F150
in the shaded are shown below:
Enroute
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
KEN Internal
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
TBP may make changes to CFL up to the boundary with KEN for the purposes of issuing descent for YBCS.
HM ADC
Airspace
HM ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the HM CTR SFC
to A045
.
Refer to Reclassifications for operations when HM ADC is offline.
Departures
Departures from YBHM in to SWY Class C will be coordinated when ready for departure.
Example
HM ADC -> SWY: "Next, QFA797"
SWY -> HM ADC: "QFA797, Unrestricted"
HM ADC -> SWY: "QFA797"
The Standard Assignable level from HM ADC to SWY is the lower of A050
or the RFL
, any other level must be prior coordinated.
Arrivals
YBHM arrivals shall be heads-up coordinated to JM ADC from SWY prior to 5 mins from the boundary.
Example
SWY -> HM ADC: "Via OPOSI for RNP U RWY 32, JST848”
HM ADC -> SWY: "JST848, RNP U RWY 32"
The Standard Assignable level from KEN(SWY) to HM ADC is A060
, any other level must be prior coordinated.
