Airspace

Hyden Airspace

Reclassifications

PE TCU

When PEA is offline, the PE MIL CTR, GIG MIL CTR, and restricted airspace within R155 is deactivated and the airspace is administered by LEA, PIY and PH TCU.

Tip

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

Departure and Arrival Procedures

YGIG

LEA and PIY share responsibility for facilitating operations in and out of YGIG.

YPEA

STAR Assignment

The STARs at YPEA have different variations designed to facilitate separation with PH TCU traffic, dependant on the runway mode in use at YPPH.

The following subsectors are responsible for issuing STAR clearance.

Sequencing

Sequencing arrivals into YPPH is a joint responsibility of multiple subsectors:

• DAL and HYD will perform initial sequencing actions for aircraft arriving from the north and east, with final sequencing performed by PIY.
• LEA is responsible for all sequencing actions for aircraft arriving from the west.
• JAR is responsible for all sequencing actions for aircraft arriving from the south.

Adjacent Feeder Fixes

Aircraft assigned the same runway inbound via JULIM and SAPKO, 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 ten Predictable Sequencing waypoints available for aircraft inbound YPPH via Q10, Q32, Q27, Q41 and Z38, located south of Q10 and north of Q27. There are also eight waypoints available for aircraft inbound via Q9, Q31, Q38, Q73 and Q181 located east of the Q38.

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

Holding Fixes

Refer to the vatSys Enroute Holds map for details of published holds on the airways inbound to YPPH. 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
JULIM	CALIG	Jets: 4 min Non-Jets: 6 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.

Local Procedures

Special Use Airspace

There are multiple volumes of SUA within HYD airspace, mostly associated with military operations in and out of the PE TMA.

Notable SUA in HYD Airspace

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

Phraseology

PEA -> LEA: "On the groud YPEA, DUGT19, requests activation of M166 A020-F160, from 0300 until 0500.”
LEA -> PEA: "DUGT19, expect activation of M166 A020-F160 at 0300 until 0500."
PEA -> LEA: "DUGT19."

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

M161 Pearce

The M161 Pearce MOA is south of YPPH, A060 - NOTAM, spanning both PH TCU and JAR airspace. Activation of M161 Pearce is a shared responsibility, and both PH TCU and JAR must coordinate before activation.

M170A-B and M171A-B Pearce

The M170A-B and M171A-B Pearce MOAs are located off the coast, SFC - NOTAM, spanning PEA, PH TCU and LEA airspace. Activation of M170A-B and M171A-B Pearce is a shared responsibility, and both PEA, PH TCU and LEA must coordinate before activation.

Affected Civil Operations

Activation of the MOA disrupts traffic on the infrequently used T12 high altitude airway, which connects Perth to destinations in Europe and Asia. Aircraft travelling on this airway will generally be long-haul international flights with limited fuel reserves to handle extensive delays.

Aircraft travelling on this airway should not be rerouted around the activation. Instead, aircraft operating within the SUA should be issued with a restriction to remain north of the 258° PEA TAC radial (within 30 TAC) or the 270° PEA TAC radial (between 30-45 TAC).

M181 and M182A-G Stirling

The M181 and M182A-G Stirling MOAs are located off the coast, SFC - NOTAM, spanning GEL, JAR, and LEA airspace. Activation of M181 and M182A-G Stirling is a shared responsibility, and both GEL, JAR, and LEA must coordinate before activation.

STAR Clearance Expectation

Handoff

Aircraft being transferred to the following sectors shall be told to Expect STAR Clearance on handoff:

Coordination

PH TCU

Airspace

The PH TCU is responsible for the airspace within 36 DME of the PH VOR, SFC to F245.

Refer to Perth TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when PHD is online.

Note

A significant portion of the TMA airspace south of the PH VOR (roughly 20 DME onwards) is classified Class E with a lower limit of F125. Aircraft arriving from this direction from F130 and above shall be instructed to leave and re-enter controlled airspace on descent to the standard assignable level (or other appropriate altitude).

Departures

Voiceless for all aircraft:

• Tracking via a Procedural SID procedure^‡; and
• Assigned the lower of F180 or the RFL

Note

^‡ In contrast to many other TCUs, aircraft are required to be tracking via the SID procedure. Aircraft simply tracking via any of the terminus waypoints (including aircraft given track shortening) is not sufficient to meet the criteria for voiceless coordination.

All other aircraft going to HYD CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by PH TCU.

Arrivals/Overfliers

Voiceless for all aircraft:

• With ADES YPPH; and
• Assigned a STAR (except the SOLUS STAR); and
• Assigned A090

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

Arrivals via SOLUS STAR

Due to the relatively high level of Class G in the south of the TMA, aircraft arriving via the SOLUS STAR should be cleared to leave and re-enter CTA on descent to A090. Standard Heads Up coordination should be used in this case.

Upon receiving coordination from HYD, PH TCU should provide a traffic statement to HYD.

Phraseology

JAR -> PHR: "Via SOLUS, RXA2126, will be assigned A090."
PHR -> JAR: "RXA2126, no reported IFR traffic."
JAR -> PHR: "Copy, no traffic"

JAR: "RXA2126, leave and reenter controlled airspace descending to A090, QNH 1013, no reported IFR traffic."
RXA2126: "Leave and reenter controlled airspace descending to A090, QNH 1013, copy traffic, RXA2126." JAR: "RXA2126, contact Perth Centre on 135.25"

PE TCU

Airspace

PEA is responsible for the restricted airspace within R155A and R155B. This airspace is reclassified to Class C when PEA is online.

Departures

All aircraft from PE TCU to HYD require Heads-up coordination prior to the boundary, however, as soon as practical (when is the aircraft becomes airborne) is preferred.

Arrivals/Overfliers

All aircraft transiting from HYD to PE TCU must be Heads-up coordinated prior to 20nm from the boundary. There are no standard assignable levels; HYD and PEA controller must agree on a suitable level during coordination.

Phraseology

LEA -> PEA: "via AVNEX, EGLE9, will be assigned A090"
PEA -> LEA: "EGLE9, A090"

Enroute

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

HYD Internal

Changes to CFL are permitted up to the boundary from DAL, CRS and HYD to PIY.

All else is Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 20nm (reduced from 50nm) to boundary.

That being said, it is advised that HYD(All) gives Heads-up Coordination prior to 20nm in the following scenarios:
- JAR to PIY for all aircraft
- LEA to PIY for all aircraft

IND (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.

Phraseology

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

Note

Controllers should be aware that VHF coverage near the LEA/IND border may be limited. Controllers should strive to issue HF frequencies and transfer of communications instruction prior to 160 NM PH DME.
