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

TRT is responsible for TRS, ASH, and KIY, when they are offline.

Extending

Important

Due to the large geographical area covered by this sector and its neighbours, controllers are reminded of their obligations under the ATS Policy when extending. Ensure that you have sufficiently placed visibility points to cover your primary sector and any secondary, extended sectors in their entirety.

Reclassifications

BRM CTRCIN TCUTN TCU

When BRM ADC is offline, BRM CTR (Class D/E SFC to A055) reverts to Class G, and is administered by ASH. Alternatively, ASH may provide a top-down procedural 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.

The restricted airspace around YCIN is classified as Class G by default, and is only reclassified as controlled airspace when CIA is online. When CIA is offline, the area remains Class G, and is administered by ASH.

When TN TCU is offline the TN MIL CTR and associated restricted airspace is deactivated, and the airspace is administered by TRS.

Tip

Consider publishing a pre-formatted ATIS Zulu for the aerodrome, to inform pilots about the airspace reclassification.

Departure and Arrival Procedures

YBRM

Sequencing

All sequencing is performed by ASH.

YCIN

WRA is responsibile for facilitating operations in and out of YCIN.

YPDN

STAR Assignment

The following subsectors are responsible for issuing STAR clearance.

Subsector	STAR	Type	Notes
TRT	ANUPA WANGI	All
TRS	GATOR VEGPU	All	Descent not below `F200` until clear of TN TCU

Sequencing

TRT is responsible for sequencing aircraft arriving from the north/west. TRS is responsible for sequencing aircraft arriving from the south/east. Coordination between TRT/TRS should be conducted to ensure that aircraft from each sector are sequenced appropriately with each other.

LAHSO

Important

Due to its operational complexity, LAHSO must be authorised by a senior VATPAC staff member or a nominated event coordinator.

In accordance with the authorisation requirements above, YPDN may utilise LAHSO during exceptionally busy events. Detailed procedures exist to ensure that controllers are aware of their responsibilities when performing LAHSO. See Controller Skills for more information.

YPTN

Sequencing

All sequencing is performed by TRS.

Local Procedures

Special Use Airspace

There are multiple volumes of SUA within TRT airspace associated with military operations in and out of YCIN, YPDN, and YPTN.

Each TCU must give heads up coordination with the relevant enroute controllers prior to any departures intending to operate in a currently inactive SUA.

Phraseology

TNA -> TRS: "On the groud YPTN, CLAS35, requests activation of R225D A095-F600, from 0300 until 0500.”
TRS -> TNA: "CLAS35, expect activation of R225D A095-F600 at 0300 until 0500."
TNA -> TRS: "CLAS35."

Non-participating aircraft intending to transit an activated SUA should be rerouted, where possible, subject to the VATSIM Code of Conduct.

Bradshaw Field Training Area SUA

The Bradshaw Field Training Area is contained within three volumes of SUA: R268 Koolendong, R269 Angalarri North, and R270 Angalarri South; all SFC-NOTAM. The area is used for extensive army training and operations based at Nackaroo Airfield (YNKR). R269 and R270 are wholly located in the TRS subsector, while R268 extends slightly into KIY.

When all three restricted areas are activated, they are referred to collectively as 'Bradshaw'. Aircraft intending to operate in adjoining SUA should be notified 'Bradshaw Active' with their clearance.

Delamere Air Weapons Range SUA

The Delamere Air Weapons Range is contained within three volumes of SUA:

R211 Delamere (SFC-A095)
R212 Delamere (SFC-A095)
R232 Delamere (SFC-NOTAM)

The range is used for a variety of bombing and live-firing training exercises, and is wholly located within the TRS subsector.

When all three restricted areas are activated, they are referred to collectively as 'Delamere'. Aircraft intending to operate in adjoining SUA should be notified 'Delamere Active' with their clearance.

M821-M824 Curtin

The M821-M824 Curtin MOAs are located over YCIN, F200-F600, located entirely in ASH airspace.

The MOAs directly adjoin the CIN TMA and when CIA is online aircraft will be transferred directly to/from the MOAs. When CIA is offline, aircraft will contact ASH for transit through the surrounding civilian airspace.

Aircraft will generally enter and exit the MOA via the appropriate military gate.

Affected Civil Operations

When activated, the restricted areas disrupt traffic on the busy A339, A576, T20, and T29 high altitude airways which are used by aircraft travelling between Australia and south-east Asia.

Activation also significantly distrupts traffic travelling in and out of YBRM. Aircraft may be given an additional requirement to climb above, or descend below the vertical limits of the activation, or rerouted manually to avoid the area.

R225A-F and R250 Tindal

The R225A-F and R250 Tindal restricted areas form the western part of the Tindal Flying Training Area, and are located entirely within the TRS subsector. The areas are used for a variety of training purposes, including supersonic flight.

The restricted areas directly adjoin the TN TMA, and aircraft will generally enter and exit the areas via the appropriate military gate

Affected Civil Operations

When activated, the restricted areas distrupt traffic on the A461 high altitude airway which connects YPDN and YBAS. Aircraft may be given an additional requirement to climb above the vertical limits of the activation, or rerouted manually to avoid the area.

R226A-B Tindal

The R226A-B restricted areas are the easternmost segments of the Tindal Flying Training Area, entirely within the TRS subsector.

These areas are rarely activated, with nearly all operations being preferentially conducted in the western R225A-F and R250 Tindal restricted areas.

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

DN TCU

Airspace

DN TCU owns the airspace within a 40NM radius of the DN DME from SFC–F180

DN TCU is also responsible for Active Restricted Area R264 A-K and R230 A-F

DAW may request DN TCU (SFC–F240) from TRT to facilitate military transits to/from R264 A-K and R230 A-F

Refer to Darwin TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when DAW is online.

Arrivals/Overfliers

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

Departures

Voiceless for all aircraft:

Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL

All other aircraft going to TRT CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by DN TCU.

BRM ADC

Airspace

BRM ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace SFC to A055, as well as the Class E airspace 1200ft AGL to A055, within the BRM CTR.

Departures

Next coordination is required from BRM ADC to TRT(ASH) for all aircraft entering TRT(ASH) CTA.

The Standard Assignable level from BRM ADC to TRT(ASH) is:

Aircraft	Level
All	The lower of `A050` and `RFL`

Arrivals/Overfliers

YBRM arrivals and overfliers shall be heads-up coordinated to BRM ADC from TRT prior to 5 mins from the boundary.

CIN ADC owns the Class C airspace within the CIN MIL CTR from SFC to A015.

TN TCU
