Airspace
AS ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace SFC to A045, as well as the Class C airspace A045 to A065, within the AS CTR.
Reclassifications
When AS ADC is offline, AS CTR (Class D and C SFC to F125) within 80 DME AS reverts to Class G, and AS CTR (Class C F125 to F245) within 80 DME AS reverts to Class E, and both are administered by ASP. Alternatively, ASP may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish.
Extending
Warning
ML-ASP_CTR is only permitted to extend to adjacent YMMM sectors.
STAR Clearance Expectation
Handoff
Aircraft being transferred to the following sectors shall be told to Expect STAR Clearance on handoff:
| Transferring Sector | Receiving Sector | ADES | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOR, WRA, BKE | TBD(AUG) | YPAD, YPED | Jets only |
| BKE | TBD | YPAD, YPED | |
| ESP | PIY(HYD) | YPPH, YPEA | Jets only |
| BKE | YWE(KAT) | YSSY |
Coordination
Enroute
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
ASP Internal
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
AS ADC
Airspace
AS ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace SFC to A045, as well as the Class C airspace A045 to A065, within the AS CTR.
Refer to Reclassifications for operations when AS ADC is offline.
Departures
Departures from YBAS in to ASP Class C will be coordinated when ready for departure.
Example
AS ADC -> ASP: "Next, QFA797"
ASP -> AS ADC: "QFA797, Unrestricted"
AS ADC -> ASP: "QFA797"
The Standard Assignable level from AS ADC to ASP is the lower of A070 or the RFL, any other level must be prior coordinated.
Arrivals
YBAS arrivals shall be heads-up coordinated to AS ADC from ASP prior to 5 mins from the boundary.
Example
ASP -> AS ADC: "Via SADEL, QFA1956”
AS ADC -> ASP: "QFA1956"
The Standard Assignable level from ASP to AS ADC is A080, any other level must be prior coordinated.
WR ADC
By default, WR ADC owns the R222F Restricted Area. This airspace has vertical limits of SFC to F120. When WR ADC is active, this airspace is classified as Class D.
Coordination is not required between ASP(WRA) and WR ADC. Aircraft entering WR ADC airspace shall be handed off, and instructed to contact WR ADC for onwards clearance.
IND(INS) (Oceanic)
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 15 mins to boundary.
