Non-Standard Positions

Non-standard positions may only be used in accordance with VATPAC Air Traffic Services Policy.
Approval must be sought from the bolded parent position prior to opening a Non-Standard Position, unless NOTAMs indicate otherwise (eg, for events).

Airspace

GOL is responsible for the BN TCU when BN TCU is offline.
INL is responsible for DOS, GOL, SDY, BUR, and NSA when they are offline.

Reclassifications

AMB/OK CTRCFS CTRCG CTRSU CTR

When AMA is offline, the AMB MIL CTR and associated restricted airspace is deactivated, and the airspace is administered by DOS.

When OKA is offline, the OK MIL CTR and associated restricted airspace is deactivated, and the airspace is administered by DOS.

Tip

When either AMA or OKA is offline, consider publishing a pre-formatted ATIS Zulu for their respective aerodromes, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification.

When CFS ADC is offline, CFS CTR (Class D SFC to A045) reverts to Class G, and is administered by MNN and INL. Alternatively, INL may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish (not recommended), and this must be coordinated to ARL(MNN).

Due to the low ceiling of CTA, when CFS ADC is offline, INL shall instruct aircraft departing into CTA to report lined up on the runway and issue an airways clearance (traffic pending) at that time.

Tip

If choosing not to provide a top down service, consider publishing a pre-formatted ATIS Zulu for the aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification.

When CG ADC is offline, the CG CTR Class C airspace SFC to A035 reverts to Class G and is administered by GOL. Alternatively, GOL may provide a top-down approach service if they wish.

Tip

If choosing not to provide a top down service, consider publishing a pre-formatted ATIS Zulu for the aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification.

When SU ADC is offline, SU CTR (Class D SFC to A045) reverts to Class G, and is administered by NSA and BUR. Alternatively, NSA may provide a top-down procedural service if they wish (not recommended), and this must be coordinated to BUR.

Tip

If choosing not to provide a top down service, consider publishing a pre-formatted ATIS Zulu for the aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification.

Departure and Arrival Procedures

YAMB

Coded Clearances

Coded Clearances are available inbound and outbound from the AMB TMA to provided a standardised corridor for fast jet aircraft.

Arrivals

Fast jet aircraft leaving offshore SUA or arriving to YAMB from the east shall be cleared via one of the following coded clearances.

Sector	Arrival	Type	Notes
NSA	Northern 6	Military	Descent not below `F200`
SDY	Central 5	Military	Descent not below `F200`
GOL	Byron 2	Military	Descent not below `F200`

Phraseology

CRNG21 plans to depart M649 and return to YAMB.
SDY: "CRNG21, cleared to YAMB via VIRGE thence CENTRAL 6, maintain F200"

Departures

High performance military jet aircraft with planned operations in offshore SUA, or intending to depart to the east, will be assigned a Coded Clearance departure.

Each coded clearance includes altitude restrictions which can be used to facilitate separation with civilian traffic.

Departure	Initial Constraint	Secondary Constraint
Northern 5	Cross BINUP at `F190`	Cross MURJO at `F260`
Central 5	Cross BINUP at `F190`	Cross MURJO at `F260`
Byron 1	Cross COWIE at `F190`	Cross KIWEE at `F260`

YBBN

STAR Assignment

The following subsectors are responsible for issuing STAR clearance.

Subsector	STAR	Type	Notes
BUR	SMOKA MORBI	All
DOS	ENLIP WOODY ISPON (SODPROPS)	All
INL	BLAKA GOMOL ISPON (SODPROPS)	All	Descent not below `F190`
SDY	TEBOT UGTUB	All

Arrivals from the south shall be given initial descent to not below F190. GOL will issue final descent.

Runway Assignment

When operating a PROPS Runway Mode, Aircraft shall be assigned the appropriate 'Alpha' STAR (or other STAR on pilot request), with the following runway selection:

FF	Runway
BLAKA	01R/19L
GOMOL	01R/19L
UGTUG	01R/19L
TEBOT	01R/19R
MORBI	01L/19R
SMOKA	01L/19R
WOODY	01L/19R
ENLIP	01L/19L
Other aircraft:
From the NORTH and WEST	01L/19R
From the SOUTH and EAST	01R/19L

These standard runway assignments may be modified strategically by the BAS or BFL controller.

Example

During an event, the vast majority of traffic is coming from BLAKA and GOMOL feeder fixes. BAS/BFL may elect to assign 19L to BLAKA arrivals and 19R to GOMOL arrivals, to keep them strategically spearated in the TCU.

BFL -> INL: "All arrivals via GOMOL to be assigned 19R until further notice"
INL -> BFL: "Roger, Arrivals via GOMOL to be assigned 19R"

SODPROPS

When operating the SODPROPS Runway Mode, aircraft via ENLIP, BLAKA, GOMOL and UGTUG, shall be assigned the ISPON STAR with the appropriate transition. Aircraft via other feeder fixes may be assigned the standard STAR.

Sequencing

Sequencing arrivals into YBBN is a joint responsibility of the subsectors of ARL. Initial sequencing actions should be performed by all sectors, with fine tuning and any holding required issued by GOL/BUR.

Adjacent Feeder Fixes

Aircraft assigned the same runway inbound via:

BLAKA and GOMOL
SMOKA and MORBI

Must be considered to be on the same STAR for sequencing purposes. That is, they must be at least 2 minutes apart at their respective Feeder fixes.

Predictable Sequencing Waypoints

There are nine Predictable Sequencing waypoints available for aircraft inbound YBBN via H66 and H252.

The table below contains the estimated time from the initial waypoint to the final waypoint via the CDO waypoint.

H66H252

Initial Waypoint	CDO Waypoint	Final Waypoint	Delay (in mins)
ADKEK	GUTBI	WHITI	2
ADKEK	ISDAG	WHITI	3
ADKEK	RULGU	WHITI	5
ADKEK	DOVIP	WHITI	7
ADKEK	URBAM	WHITI	9
ADKEK	ESMIS	WHITI	11
ADKEK	UBKEM	WHITI	13

Initial Waypoint	CDO Waypoint	Final Waypoint	Delay (in mins)
RULGU	DOVIP	OMKAK	1
RULGU	ISDAG	OMKAK	2
RULGU	URBAM	OMKAK	3
RULGU	GUTBI	OMKAK	4
RULGU	ESMIS	OMKAK	5
RULGU	UBKEM	OMKAK	7
RULGU	ADKEK	OMKAK	8
RULGU	OTBOL	OMKAK	11

Holding Fixes

Refer to the vatSys Enroute Holds map for details of published holds on the airways inbound to YBBN. Where delays necessitate holding, aircraft should be instructed to hold at the following positions. The listed time should be subtracted from an aircraft's assigned feeder fix time to determine when they should leave the hold.

Feeder Fix	Holding Fix	Time from Hold to Feeder Fix
TEBOT	ATROP	2 min
UGTUG	SAVER	2 min
Others	Feeder Fix	-

Tip

Additional holding may be performed at upstream holding fixes to reduce controller workload. This is particularly useful when non-standard child sectors have been opened, allowing aircraft to absorb some of their delay in the previous sector.

YBCG

STAR Assignment

The following subsectors are responsible for issuing STAR clearance.

Subsector	STAR	Type	Notes
BUR	No^		Descent not below `F190`
INL	BERNI	All	Descent not below `F190` VESOK/OVREX Transition (when applicable)
NSA	No^		Descent not below `F190`
SDY	LAMSI	All

Arrivals from the north shall be given initial descent to not below F190. BN TCU will issue final descent.

Arrivals from other sectors should be issued with descent and tracking instructions appropriate for the runway configuration, following coordination.

Arrivals via BN

There is no STAR available to facilitate aircraft arriving from the north west. INL(BUR/NSA) will instruct these aircraft BN Y177 IDRIL NOPAS GOMOL prior to handoff to BN TCU, who will then facilitate further descent. Aircraft will then be given further instructions by BAC according to the runway in use.

BERNI Transitions

When the Evans Head Military Restricted Areas (R638) are activated, aircraft must be assigned the BERNI SID with either the OVREX (if tracking via Y54) or VESOK (if tracking via Y43) transition. These transitions will ensure the aircraft remains clear of the restricted area.

BERNI STAR with and without a transition — BERNI STAR with no transition *left* and VESOK transition

By default, vatSys will select the BERNI STAR with no transition. This can be manually overridden in the aircraft's flight plan.

Sequencing

Initial sequencing is performed by all sectors, with the final sequencing action performed by GOL.

YBSU

STAR Assignment

The following subsectors are responsible for issuing STAR clearance.

Subsector	STAR	Type	Notes
BUR	SEBVA	All
GOL	ITIDE	All	Descent not below `F130`
SDY	ITIDE	All

Arrivals from other sectors should be issued with descent and tracking instructions appropriate for the runway configuration, following coordination.

Arrivals from the south shall be given initial descent to not below F130. NSA will issue final descent.

Sequencing

BUR, GOL and SDY are responsible for initial sequencing for aircraft arriving from the east, west, and south. KPL is responsible for initial sequencing for aircraft arriving from the north/east. Final sequencing actions are performed by NSA.

Coordination with KPL should be conducted to ensure that aircraft from each sector are sequenced appropriately with each other.

YCFS

Coffs Harbour (YCFS) lies under the INL/ARL(MNN) boundary. INL is responsible for issuing descent to aircraft arriving into YCFS from the north.

Sequencing

INL and ARL(MNN) share a joint responsibility to build the final sequence of arrivals into YCFS when the tower is open. Coordination with ARL(MNN) should be conducted to ensure that aircraft from each sector are sequenced appropriately with each other.

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
INL	ARL	YSSY
INL	GOL	YBSU
NSA, BUR	KPL	YBMK, YBRK

Terminal Handover Frequencies

Aircraft being transferred from enroute to a TCU with multiple frequencies shall be given the frequency for the revelant TCU position.
