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.

Responsibilities

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

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.
