Positions
Name | ID | Callsign | Frequency | Login Identifier |

Rockhampton Approach | RKA | Coral Approach | 123.750 | RK_APP |
Airspace
The Coral TCU includes the airspace SFC
to F150
within the Mackay and Rockhampton keyholes (shown below).
MK ADC own the Class D airspace within MK CTR SFC
to A010
.
RK ADC own the Class D airspace within RK CTR SFC
to A010
.
Extending
MKA may extend to RKA and vice versa, callsigns remain the same. See Controller Skills for details.
Tip
When setting up vatSys while providing coverage to RKA and MKA, it is recommended that you have seperate air displays open for MKA and RKA.
Coordination
Enroute
Departures
Voiceless coordination is in place from MKA/RKA to ENR for aircraft:
Departing All Ports - Assigned the lower of F150
or RFL
Any aircraft not meeting the above criteria must be prior coordinated to ENR.
Example
RKA -> KPL: "QFA114, with your concurrence, will be assigned F130, for my separation with ZYX"
KPL -> RKA: "QFA114, concur F130"
Arrivals
The Standard assignable level from INL(KPL) to RKA is A070
, and assigned a STAR. All other aircraft must be prior coordinated.
The Standard assignable level from KEN(SWY) to MKA is A070
, and assigned a STAR. All other aircraft must be prior coordinated
MK/RK ADC
Airspace
MK ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the MK CTR SFC
to A010
.
RK ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace in the RK CTR SFC
to A010
.
Auto Release
'Next' coordination is not required from MK/RK ADC for aircraft that are:
a) Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and
b) Assigned the standard assignable level; and
c) Assigned a Procedural SID
Example
MK ADC -> MKA: "Next, ABC, runway 14"
MKA -> MK ADC: "ABC, Heading 150 Visual, unrestricted"
MK ADC -> MKA: "Heading 150 Visual unrestricted, ABC"
The TCU controller can suspend/resume Auto Release at any time, with the concurrence of ADC.
The Standard Assignable level from MK/RK ADC to MKA/RKA is the lower of A060
or the RFL
.
MK/RK SMC
The controller assuming responsibility of SMC shall give heads-up coordination to TCU controller prior to the issue of the following clearances:
- VFR Departures
- Aircraft using a runway not on the ATIS
Arrivals
COR TCU will coordinate all YBMK and YBRK arrivals to ADC prior to 5 mins from the boundary. This coordination shall be as per Standard Heads-up format, with the addition of:
- Runway, if other than duty runway
- Approach type, unless specifically nominated on the ATIS
- IFR Circuit joining instructions, if not on Straight-in instrument approach
Example
RKA -> RK ADC: "via ABVAS, DJU, for the VOR-A”
RK ADC -> RKA: "DJU, VOR-A"
