Assignment Rules
Arrivals shall be assigned the STAR in accordance with the tables below, as per the approach expectations on the ATIS.
R(rwy)= Non-Jet Victor STAR- Example:
R23via ATNAR = GULFS V STAR, ATNAR Transition, Runway 23
- Example:
(rwy)(designator)= Full-length Jet STAR- Example:
23Avia ATNAR = ATNAR A STAR, Runway 23
- Example:
These standard runway assignments may be modified strategically by the AD TCU or AFL controller.
Note
Aircraft tracking via OJJAY and MARGO (ie J251 WHA H84 MARGO) from the North for Runway 23 shall be assigned the RAYNA STAR with the OJJAY transition (not the BUGSU STAR with the MARGO transition)
vatSys will not necessarily select the correct STAR by default when entering the runway, so ensure the correct STAR is selected.
All Jets shall be assigned the Runway 05 Zulu STAR, or Runway 23 Alpha STAR.
Non-Jets shall be assigned the STAR in accordance with the following table:
| Feeder Fix | 23 & 12 | 05 & 12 |
|---|---|---|
| INTOG | R23 | R05 |
| DRINA | No STAR Expect Runway 23 |
No STAR Expect Runway 05 |

Sequencing
Sequencing arrivals into YPAD is a joint responsibility of AUG and TBD: AUG is responsible for aircraft arriving from the west, TBD is responsible for aircraft arriving from the east.
Adjacent Feeder Fixes
Aircraft assigned the same runway inbound via:
- MARGO and AGROS
- ERITH and KLAVA
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.
YPED

Tip
The quick reference tables above only include scenarios for which there is voiceless coordination. Refer to the diagram for the appropriate position/frequency for coordination and handoff for all other situations.
Coordination
AD TCU
Airspace
The Vertical limits of the AD TCU are SFC to F245.
Refer to Adelaide TCU Airspace Division for information on airspace divisions when AAW is online.
Arrivals/Overfliers
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- With ADES YPAD; and
- Assigned a STAR; and
- Assigned
A090
All other aircraft coming from TBD CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated to AD TCU prior to 20nm from the boundary.
Departures
Voiceless for all aircraft:
- Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus; and
- Assigned the lower of
F240or theRFL
All other aircraft going to TBD CTA will be Heads-up Coordinated by AD TCU.
Enroute
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
TBD Internal
As per Standard coordination procedures, Voiceless, no changes to route or CFL within 50nm to boundary.
