Airspace
AYNZ ADC is responsible for the Class C Airspace within the AYNZ CTR SFC to A060.
Separation
Surveillance
Surveillance coverage can be expected to be available at all levels in the AYNZ CTR. Although AYNZ ADC is not permitted to use surveillance for separation, AYPM may assist by establishing surveillance separation standards via coordination.
Lateral Separation Points
The Markham River runs East-West through the AYNZ CTR south of the Runway 09/27 centreline.
Its prominence and location makes it a convenient option to implement a geographic feature separation standard.
Local Procedures
Standard Departure Clearances
In lieu of a SID, departing aircraft may be issued with a Standard Departure Clearance (SDC). Aircraft cleared via an SDC will depart the circuit visually, and then intercept the track specified by five miles.
AYNZ ADC will clear relevant departures via the appropriate coded SDC, write the departure name in the Global Ops Field.
Phraseology
AYNZ ADC: "...cleared to Guam via Departure 35 then PIKOK flight planned route..."
A list of the Standard Departure Clearances is available in the AIP Flight Supplement.
VFR Operations
Departure/Arrival Gates
Aircraft should report at the standard VFR Departure/Arrival Gates.

Helicopter Operations
Helipads and Landing Areas
There are no controlled helipads at AYNZ. While most helicopters operate in Lae outside the AYNZ CTR, there is a private helipad within the CTR at the Crossroads Hotel, 12.9NM southeast of the ARP.
Helicopters using this helipad be instructed to 'report on the ground'/'report when airbourne' in lieu of an explicit clearance.
Important
The Crossroads helipad sits less than 1NM northeast of the LARID-NZ. Helicopters using the pad are not laterally separated from aircraft tracking LARID-NZ or from aicraft on the VOR approach to Runway 27. AYNZ ADC must ensure an alternate separation standard is in place at all times.
SID Selection
There are no SIDs at AYNZ. In VMC by day, all aircraft shall be assigned a visual departure.
Otherwise:
- IFR aircraft departing via MUDIX shall be assigned the GOROKA 1 or GOROKA 2 DME departure.
- IFR aircraft departing via LARID shall be assigned the LAE DME departure.
- IFR aircraft not departing via MUDIX or LARID should be assigned an SDC and/or sector DME departure.
Coordination
Departures
Next coordination is required from AYNZ ADC to AYNZA for all aircraft entering AYNZA CTA.
The Standard Assignable Level from AYNZ ADC to AYNZA is:
| Aircraft | Level |
|---|---|
| All | The lower of A050 and RFL |
Arrivals
Arrivals
AYNZA will heads-up coordinate all arrivals/overfliers to AYNZ ADC.
- Aircraft on an instrument approach will be cleared for the approach prior to handoff to AYNZ ADC, unless AYNZ ADC nominates a restriction.
- Aircraft on a visual approach will be coordinated, but will receive their approach clearance and circuit joining instructions from AYNZ ADC.
Phraseology
AYNZA -> AYNZ ADC: "Via LARID for the RNAV, PXB.”
AYNZ ADC -> AYNZA: "PXB."
