to A025
. This airspace is designed to facilitate circuit traffic.
YAMB Aerodrome
Coded Departures (Fast Jets)
Visual Departures are commonly requested by high performance military jets, and often processed in the form of a coded departure (e.g. BYRON7 departure), which can be found in the AD2 Sups Page for Amberley. These coded departures provide a corridor with altitude constraints to join the Military Training Areas east of Brisbane avoiding civilian traffic inbound to Brisbane.
Aircraft will make a visual departure in the circuit direction and fly overhead YAMB to begin tracking for their initial waypoint.
Example
WOLF03 was assiged the BYRON7 departure with their intial clearance.
AMB ADC: "WOLF03, make left turn, reach F190
by COWIE, cleared for takeoff"
WOLF03: "Make left turn, reach F190
by COWIE, cleared for takeoff, WOLF03"
Departure | Initial Constraint | Route |
---|---|---|
Northern 1 | F190 at BINUP |
BINUP MURJO BOBED LESKO MOSSI/ADNUK (Transition) |
Central 1 | F190 at BINUP |
BINUP MURJO BOBED VIRGE |
Byron 7 | F190 at BINUP |
COWIE KIWEE ZANET LOTMA SEMAJ |
Note
Charts for the Coded Departures may be in YAMB AD2 Supplements 6.2.25.11 available here: RAAF AIP page
Note
AMB ACD will record the name of the coded departure in the Global Ops Field of the FDR and amend the flight plan route with all necessary tracking points.

Coordination
AM/OK ADC
Airspace
AMB ADC owns the Class C airspace in the AMB CTR within 10nm of the YAMB ARP from SFC
to A015
.
OK ADC owns the airspace within 5 DME of the OK VOR from SFC
to A025
.
Departures
'Next' coordination is required from AMB ADC to AMB TCU for all aircraft.
Example
AMB ADC -> AMB TCU: "Next, ASY01, runway 33"
AMB TCU -> AMB ADC: "ASY01, Assigned Heading Right 030, unrestricted"
AMB ADC -> AMB TCU: "Assigned Heading Heading Right 030, ASY01"
INL / BN TCU
Departures
All aircraft from AMB/OK TCU to INL(All) and BN TCU require Heads-up coordination prior to the boundary, however, as soon as practical (when is the aircraft becomes airborne) is prefered.
The Standard Assignable Level from AMB ADC to AMB TCU is:
a) The Lower of F180
or RFL
for Aircraft assigned via Procedural or RNAV SID.
b) F190
for Aircraft assigned a Coded Departure.
The Standard Assignable from OK ADC to OK TCU is the lower of F120
or RFL
.
Example
AMB TCU -> BN TCU: "via BN, DRGN02"
BN TCU -> AMB TCU: "DRGN02, F180
"
Example
BUCK03 is assigned the BYRON 7 coded departure.
AMB TCU -> NSA: "via COWIE, BUCK3."
NSA -> AMB TCU: "BUCK03, F190
"
Arrivals/Overlfies
All aircraft transiting from GOL/DOS/BUR to AMB TCU and OK TCU must be heads-up coordinated prior to 20nm from the boundary and aircraft from BN TCU to AMB TCU only prior to the boundary. Operations within AMB TCU are fairly ad-hoc, so there are no standard assignable levels. GOL/DOS/BUR and AMB TCU/OK TCU controller must agree on a suitable level during coordination.
Example
GOL -> AMB TCU: "via HUUGO, PUMA11, will be assigned A090"
AMB TCU -> GOL: "PUMA11, A090"
