Even though YWE's Primary Communication Method is Voice, CPDLC may be used for Overfliers.
Airspace
Sector Responsibilities
Yarrowee (YWE)
YWE is responsible for the final sequencing actions in to YMML.
Wonthaggi (WON)
WON is responsible for issuing STAR Clearances for aircraft arriving at YMML. WON will also initiate sequencing as required for aircraft arriving at YMML.
Mungo (MUN)
MUN is responsible for issuing STAR Clearances for aircraft arriving at YMML. MUN will also initiate sequencing as required for aircraft arriving at YMML and YPAD.
Oxley (OXL)
OXL is responsible for issuing STAR Clearances for aircraft arriving at YMML. OXL will also initiate sequencing as required for aircraft arriving at YMML.
Griffith (GTH)
GTH is responsible for issuing STAR Clearances for YSSY.
Katoomba (KAT)
KAT is responsible for issuing STAR Clearances for YSCB and YSSY.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MUN | TBD | YPAD, YPED | |
| GTH | OXL | YMML, YMAV | |
| OXL | ELW(BLA) | YSCB | |
| GTH | BIK(GUN) | YSSY | |
| OXL | GTH | YSSY | |
| WON | HUO | YMHB |
First Contact
Aircraft being transferred from the following sectors shall be given STAR Clearance on first contact:
| Transferring Sector | Receiving Sector | ADES | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TBD | MUN | YMML, YMAV | |
| ASP(BKE), GTH | OXL | YMML, YMAV | |
| HUO, ELW(SNO) | WON | YMML | |
| ASP(BKE) | GTH, KAT | YSSY | |
| OXL | GTH | YSSY | |
| ARL(MDE) | KAT | YSCB |
Coordination
ML TCU
Airspace
The Vertical limits of the ML TCU are SFC to F245.
Refer to Melbourne TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when MDN and/or MDS are online.
Arrivals/Overfliers
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- With ADES YMML; and
- Assigned a STAR; and
- Assigned
A090
All other aircraft coming from YWE/WON CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to ML TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.
Departures
Voiceless to all surrounding Enroute sectors for all aircraft:
- Assigned the lower of
F240or theRFL; and - Tracking via any of the following:
- a Procedural SID terminus
- MENOG
- DOTPA
- OMKON
- AV
All other aircraft going to YWE/WON CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by ML TCU.
Enroute
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
That being said, it is advised that YWE(All) gives Heads-up Coordination prior to 50nm from the boundary in the following scenarios:
- YWE to ELW/BLA for all aircraft
- WON to ELW/BLA for all aircraft
- GTH to BLA for all aircraft
- KAT to BIK/GUN for aircraft not planned via MAKKA
Tip
MUN should aim to handoff aircraft as soon as possible to TBD, so they can issue STAR clearance and commence sequencing. Remember, As per Standard coordination procedures, the Receiving sector may turn the aircraft 45° left or right and climb/descend to any level. So if required, nominate a restriction.
YWE Internal
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
That being said, it is advised that YWE(All) gives Heads-up Coordination prior to 50nm in the following scenarios:
- MUN to YWE for aircraft not on the Y12 or H119 airway (Changes permitted up to boundary for sequencing/descent purposes)
- OXL to YWE for aircraft not tracking via CANTY (Changes permitted up to boundary for sequencing/descent purposes)
- WON to YWE for all aircraft
- YWE to WON for all aircraft
SY TCU
Airspace
SY TCU is responsible for the airspace within a 45nm radius of TESAT, SFC to F285.
Refer to Sydney TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when SAS, SDN, SDS and/or SRI are online.
Arrivals/Overfliers
As per Standard coordination procedures, all aircraft must be Heads-up coordinated prior to 20nm from the boundary.
Departures
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- Assigned the lower of
F280or theRFL; and - Tracking via KADOM
All other aircraft going to KAT CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated.
ES TCU
Reserved.
