Runway Modes

Non-Standard airspace division will be in use.

The red line represents the STARs to the arrival runways.

Non-Standard airspace division will be in use.

The red line represents the STARs to the arrival runways.

Ensure that 34R Arrivals are assigned H150 at or prior to LANOL, to ensure separation with 34L Arrivals.

All arrivals will be cleared for the Approach type indicated on the ATIS.

IVAs can be expected to be in use for WorldFlight, to facilitate the high volume of traffic for both runways.

Aircraft must report both visual, and runway in sight in order to be cleared for an IVA (Runway in Sight implies Visual).

Tip

The Label Data Annotations for these are V and R, respectively

Ensure you familiarise yourself with the applicable Separation Standards

Pass Traffic Information on aircraft that will come within 1nm of each other on parallel approaches.

Example

SFW: "NPT11W, Traffic is a 767 at your 10 o'clock for the parallel runway"

In order to balance workload effectively, it is recommended to distribute responsibility for the Sydney TCU sectors accordingly:

SFL will formulate the sequence in accordance with the SY TCU Flow Table. Ensure that event traffic gets priority over non-event traffic.

SFL will construct the sequence via the Arrivals List Window.

Appropriate annotations for the Arrivals List Window can be found here.

CNK will instruct all arrivals to cross BOREE and YAKKA at 250 knots, then published STAR speeds.

SFL must voice coordinate any changes to instructions after ARL/CNK has put a < on it.

SFL must voice coordinate to ARL/CNK any aircraft that must be rerouted via OLTIN YAKKA MEPIL for 16L/34R.

Example

SFL -> ARL: "ANZ361 via OLTIN for 34R please"
ARL -> SFL: "ANZ361 via OLTIN for 34, will be"

ARL/CNK must voice coordinate any requests for Track Shortening or CSR to SFL.
