AYD901 (Daugo) Danger Area

AYD901 (Daugo) Danger Area

When activated, the airspace is administered by AYPYA. Aircraft will be cleared to enter the Training Area via the GPS Approach and advised to report overhead DGOWH after conducting the mandatory missed approach.

Parallel Runway Operations

Simultaneous parallel runway operations, including PROPS and SODROPS, are not authorised at AYPY. Arrivals for parallel runways should be sequenced so that their approaches are not simultaneous and separation is maintained.

Coordination

Enroute

Departures

Voiceless for aircraft:

  • Tracking via a Procedural SID terminus^; and
  • Assigned the lower of A150 or the RFL.

Note

^Aircraft are not required to be tracking via the SID procedure, simply tracking via any of the terminus waypoints (Regardless of departure airport or assigned SID) is sufficient to meet the criteria for voiceless coordination

All other aircraft going to AYPM CTA must be Heads-up Coordinated by AYPYA prior to the boundary.

Arrivals

Voiceless coordination for all aircraft:

  • With ADES AYPY; and
  • Assigned a STAR; and
  • Assigned A140.

All other aircraft coming from AYPM CTA must be Heads-up coordinated to AYPYA.

AYPY ADC

Auto Release

'Next' coordination is not required from AYPY ADC for aircraft that are:

  • Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and
  • Assigned the standard assignable level; and
  • Assigned a Procedural SID.

Overfliers

AYPYA will heads-up coordinate arrivals/overfliers from AYPYA to AYPY ADC prior to 5 mins from the boundary. VFR aircraft require a level readback.
