Airspace

Reclassifications

TAS TCU

When HBA and/or LTA are offline, the class C and D airspace SFC to A085 in the relevant TMA is reclassified as class G.

HUO may choose to operate either YMHB or YMLT (or both) aerodromes top down, including the terminal airspace within the Tasmania TMA. Due to limited surveillence coverage and the complex airspace setup, extending top down to one or both aerodromes is not compulsory.

If HUO chooses to operate top down to either aerodrome, they must administer all relevant airspace within the appropriate TMA, including the class D CTR.

Important

Ensure you are familiar with the aerodrome procedures for Launceston and Hobart before extending top down, and are aware of the limited surveillence coverage available in the lower levels of the TMA.

Tip

If choosing not to provide a top down service, consider publishing an ATIS Zulu for each aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification. The More ATIS plugin has a formatted Zulu ATIS message.

Responsibilities

HUO is reponsible for issuing STAR clearances, sequencing, and descent for aircraft bound for YMLT and YMHB.

Coordination

TAS TCU

Airspace

LTA owns the airspace SFC to F245 within a 30nm radius of the LT VOR. LT ADC owns the Class D airspace within LT CTR SFC to A015 when open.

HBA owns the airspace SFC to F245 within the remainder of the Tasmania TMA (shown below). HB ADC owns the Class D airspace within HB CTR SFC to A015 (north of runway centreline) and A025 (south of runway centreline) when open.

Refer to Reclassifications for operations when HBA and/or LTA are offline.

LTA Release

The Airspace on and west of the IRSOM-MORGO track F125-F245 is permanently released from LTA to HUO, unless coordinated otherwise. Boundary Coordination is not required to LTA for aircraft on this track assigned at or above F130.

Arrivals/Overfliers

Voiceless for all aircraft:

With ADES YMLT
Tracking from IRSOM or NUNPA DCT LT; and
Assigned A090
With ADES YMHB
Assigned the IPLET or MORGO STAR; and
Assigned F130

All other aircraft coming from HUO CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to TAS TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.

Departures

Voiceless for all aircraft:

Assigned the lower of F240 or the RFL; and
Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus

All other aircraft going to HUO CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by TAS TCU.

Enroute

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.

TSN/IND(INS) (Oceanic)

As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 15 mins to boundary.

Aircraft must have their identification terminated and be instructed to make a position report on first contact with the next (procedural) sector.

Example

HUO: "QFA121, identification terminated, report position to Brisbane Radio, 129.25"
