7 Operational context Airspace administration 2 Operational context 2.1 Airspace administration Purpose This document: a) describes airspace management procedures (including operating procedures and services provided to participating and non-participating aircraft); b) describes the role of the airspace administrator; and c) nominates the airspace arbiter and Controlling Authority References The primary references for airspace and air route information is the Designated Airspace Handbook Prohibited, Restricted and Danger area (PRD) administration FLTCDR 453SQN EDN FLT is the Regional Airspace Control Authority (RACA) for Defence administered PRD contained within the airspace described in 2.2 Area of. Submit all requests for new PRD, and amendments or cancellation of existing PRD, to FLTCDR 453SQN EDN FLT for recommendation/approval and subsequent processing by OAR. Direct requests for temporary airspace to the OAR Primary User The 'Primary User' is the airspace administrator and will establish a priority for the use of the airspace. The Primary User must only provide access to other users if the administrator's commitments allow. This may mean the total exclusion of other airspace users. Note 1: Note 2: Airspace coordinator Due to the restrictive nature of this function, the role of Primary User is seldom applied by airspace administrators. As an airspace administrator, Airservices normally performs the role of 'airspace coordinator'. As airspace coordinator, the airspace administrator will: a) designate airspace for its own use; b) coordinate access to other airspace users in a manner which minimises overall inconvenience and, as far as practical, evenly spread the inconvenience among all users; c) make every effort to accommodate activities, and adjust procedures and facilities to achieve this; and d) consider the effect of airspace decisions on general and military aviation activities for which airspace is not specifically designated and provide for such activities within the airspace as far as practical. Alternatively, minimise airspace activation to reduce its effect on other airspace users. ATS-PROC-0003 South Australia Manual of Air Traffic Services Supplementary Procedures 2-1 Version 34: 2 February 2017

8 Area of Operational context Arbiter The Arbiter is responsible for providing services and the daily management of the airspace, and operates in accordance with the MATS Supplementary Procedures. The various airspace administrators must agree on the management of the designated airspace and operations within it. The Arbiter does not need to be a direct employee of the airspace administrator. 2.2 Area of Dimensions Diagram The area of for airspace and airspace management covered by these procedures is: S E, S E, S E, S E, S E. 2-2 South Australia Manual of Air Traffic Services Supplementary Procedures ATS-PROC-0003 Version 34: 2 February

27 Normal operations Separation responsibilities Separation responsibilities EDN TWR EDN TWR must separate aircraft operating within EDN TWR airspace and all coordinated traffic. When the ATIS advises 'Expect Visual Approach', EDN TWR must provide visual separation within 5 NM of EDN between: a) aircraft departing YPED and entering Adelaide TCU's airspace; and b) coordinated arriving aircraft where tracks or headings: i) do not cross; or ii) vary by more than 35 degrees. EDN TWR must advise Adelaide TCU when visual separation can not be provided. Note: An aircraft conducting a missed approach or go-around from an instrument approach is considered to be a departure from that runway once passed the MAPT. Ensure the inbound aircraft are on the tower frequency when applying separation Adelaide TCU responsibilities AAN must apply procedural separation between EDN departures and arrivals until surveillance separation can be applied. Adelaide TCU is responsible for assuring separation if headings or levels are altered Confirm separation Confirm who is responsible for separation when voice coordinating using the phrase 'YOUR SEPARATION WITH (callsign)', and responding with 'MY SEPARATION (callsign)'. 3.5 Restricted Areas activation and deactivation procedures - Edinburgh Supersonic Area Prior to operations within Edinburgh Supersonic Area AAN AUG Required action Advise AUG of intended use: a) At taxi, negotiate service provision with AUG; and b) Advise any variation to activity times.

30 Coordination and control practices - EDN Normal operations PF Circuit East procedures - Parafield operations and the ECA Circuit East procedure When an IFR aircraft requires departure from Parafield on the RWY 03 SID (RADAR), AAN may request the Circuit East procedure EDN TWR responsibilities EDN TWR must consider priorities of MIL users within the ECA. If approving the Circuit East procedure, restrict VFR traffic in the ECA on or west of the RWY 18/36 centreline AAN responsibilities When the Circuit East Procedure is approved, AAN: a) must not issue headings west of 020 degrees to aircraft departing Parafield until clear of the ECA; and b) is responsible for separation of YPED IFR arrivals and departures with Parafield Circuit East procedure operations. Note: The tracking tolerance of aircraft departing Parafield on this SID infringes the ECA. These procedures ensure traffic in the ECA is separated from aircraft departing Parafield on the RWY 03 SID (RADAR) Departures from YPED EDN TWR responsibilities Issue a SID (RADAR) to all IFR departures unless an alternative is requested by the pilot. Assign 'MAINTAIN A040' or the requested level if lower at clearance delivery Adelaide TCU responsibilities Ensure aircraft departing EDN do not infringe any airspace released to other users (e.g. gliding and parachuting). Do not delegate this to EDN TWR. When EDN is a CTAF, you should issue a procedural SID to IFR departures Arrivals to YPED AAN responsibilities Pilot intentions Obtain the pilot's intentions and advise EDN TWR as part of the inbound coordination Transfer aircraft Transfer aircraft to EDN TWR on: 1) an IAL when leaving the lowest holding altitude; or 2) a VSA when established within the ED CTR or 10 NM, whichever is later. 3-6 South Australia Manual of Air Traffic Services Supplementary Procedures ATS-PROC-0003 Version 35: 17 August

31 Normal operations Coordination and control practices - EDN Sequence/spacing Provide at least three track miles between the leading aircraft as it crosses the landing threshold of the duty runway and the following aircraft Leading aircraft on a VSA When the lead aircraft is conducting a VSA, and provided EDN TWR accepts for separation, the following aircraft must be: a) vertically separated with no restrictions; and b) transferred to EDN TWR not below A025. Note: This is not required when both aircraft are conducting a straight-in VSA on RWY Leading aircraft on an IAL Assure separation when the lead aircraft is conducting an IAL, until it has: a) landed; or b) been issued with an alternative clearance by EDN TWR and they accept for separation and sequencing. You must also consider the possible missed approach path EDN TWR responsibilities Restrictions Advise AAN of any restrictions on YPED arrivals. Note: Restrictions may include pending departures Sequence/spacing Once a sequenced aircraft enters EDN TWR airspace, you may adjust the sequence (e.g. expedite a leading aircraft or delay a following aircraft) provided it will not impact on any other coordinated traffic Leading aircraft on a VSA In the event of a go-around, restrict the lead aircraft conducting a VSA to not above A015 until another form of separation can be established with following traffic Parafield arrivals When EDN TWR is open and an aircraft is transferred from Class C airspace to Parafield Tower, the PF ADC must issue instructions that will track: a) an IFR/SVFR aircraft direct to Parafield until entering the circuit (unless otherwise coordinated); b) a VFR aircraft direct to Parafield until within the PF CTR; c) an aircraft from overhead ED, or between ED and the Main North Road, direct to final RWY 21 while remaining west of Main North Road; or d) an aircraft from overhead ED direct to mid-downwind RWY 03L to be established in the circuit by mid-downwind. Note: Back coordination for levels below those assigned by Adelaide TCU or EDN TWR is not required.

32 Coordination and control practices - Woomera Normal operations 3.7 Coordination and control practices - Woomera SAR in Woomera Restricted Areas SAR within the Restricted Areas or for aircraft landing at WR airfield is held: a) from the nominated transfer time by WR TWR when open; or b) by ML Centre Coordination Complete procedural coordination in accordance with MATS between WR TWR and ML Centre. ML Centre must also provide WR TWR with: a) an estimate for the Restricted Area boundary; b) SSR codes for departing aircraft; and c) details of arriving flights that are unable to quote a valid approval number Emergency access ML Centre responsibilities If emergency access to WR airspace or airfield is required, Central must advise SM 3. Provide the ETA and other relevant details. The SM 3 must relay details to ROPS-WR to obtain landing approval. Note: Diversions due to aircraft emergencies will be accommodated. All other diversions will be considered for approval based on reasons for diversion and priority ROPS-WR responsibilities When advised that emergency access is required, ROPS-WR must contact trial/activity managers and instruct them to cease activity, then: a) contact ML Centre to advise them of activity cessation and receive details of transiting/inbound aircraft; or b) release airspace to ML Centre and advise them of activity details to facilitate expeditious entry of emergency aircraft. 3-8 South Australia Manual of Air Traffic Services Supplementary Procedures ATS-PROC-0003 Version 35: 17 August

33 Normal operations Coordination and control practices - Woomera Woomera area release to ML Centre ROPS-WR/WR TWR responsibilities When open, WR TWR must obtain approval from ROPS-WR before releasing any Restricted Areas. Note: Other activities may be occurring within the areas. ROPS-WR/WR TWR may release Woomera Restricted Airspace to ML Centre: a) during prolonged periods of inactivity; and b) if activities cease prior to the NOTAM end time for daily activities. ROPS-WR must ensure that all activity that may affect aviation has ceased and advise the following items to ML Centre: a) time of release; b) useable levels; c) transiting aircraft; and d) time when airspace will be resumed. Note: Normally the minimum period for release of airspace to ML Centre will be two hours duration of release When arranging the release, provide ML SM with: a) a definite transfer and acceptance of affected airspace; and b) specifically state each Restricted Area ML Centre responsibilities ML Centre will provide services within the released areas in accordance with the extant airspace structure Phraseology example ROPS-WR/WR TWR ML Centre R222F, R222G (as applicable) released to ML Centre from (time) to (time), all aircraft to be established outside of released airspace by (time). Accept R222F, R222G (as applicable) released to ML Centre from (time) to (time), all aircraft to be established outside of released airspace by (time).

34 Coordination and control practices - Cultana Training Areas Normal operations Resuming airspace from ML Centre ML Centre must ensure all aircraft are established out of the restricted area by the stated time. Complete a handover of the airspace between ML Centre and ROPS-WR/WR TWR before resuming activities within the areas. 30 minutes before resuming the airspace Airspace user WRG Before resuming the airspace WR ATC When WR ATC are not operating, ROPS-WR Required action Contact WRG Advise the airspace user of restrictions to activities and the time airspace can be resumed. Required action Contact ML Centre to advise of airspace resumption and receive details of transiting aircraft. Contact ML Centre to advise of airspace resumption and confirm there are no transiting aircraft. Advise ML Centre of anticipated release time or cessation if expected different to NOTAM. 3.8 Coordination and control practices - Cultana Training Areas JACC approval Forward all CUTA airspace requests to the JACC for de-confliction purposes. Once JACC approves, they will forward the NOTAM request to EDN for action Woomera and CUTA activation If Woomera (R222A-G, R246A-C, R273, R287C) and CUTA areas must both be active simultaneously above FL180, Adelaide TCU may tactically manage aircraft in R265 to facilitate AD arrivals on H South Australia Manual of Air Traffic Services Supplementary Procedures ATS-PROC-0003 Version 35: 17 August

35 Business continuity ATS system management 4 Business continuity 4.1 ATS system management Equipment failure When EDN navigation aids fail during EDN CTAF hours, TCU OCA must: a) advise FLTCDR 453SQN EDN of the failure; and b) issue a NOTAM detailing the failure. FLTCDR 453SQN EDN FLT is responsible for callout notification ATS civil contingency When an ATS contingency affects Airservices administered airspace, the ORM or Contingency Response Manager will forward a checklist appropriate to the contingency to the relevant Defence unit(s) by fax or . Defence will use the checklist to respond to the ATS contingency. Note: See MATS for the checklist template ATS EDN TWR contingency When EDN TWR requires evacuation, or communications facilities fail, EDN TWR ATS must: a) advise Adelaide TCU and provide a contact number prior to evacuation or as soon as practical; b) release the circuit area; and c) provide a traffic statement to AAN. On receipt of advice, Adelaide TCU must: a) deactivate the EDN CTR; b) implement CTAF procedures; and c) broadcast a Hazard alert. EDN TSPR and Adelaide TCU OCA will negotiate the resumption of tower services or deactivation of airspace. 4.2 Aircraft emergency operations AEP during ED CTAF hours Adelaide TCU OCA must contact EDN Fire Tower when an aerodrome emergency occurs during ED CTAF hours Stores/fuel tank Jettison Jettison stores/fuel tanks in the following areas, in order of preference, when required: 1) Port Wakefield Restricted Areas; 2) Gulf of St. Vincent, on a westerly heading; 3) RWY 04/22 at EDN, heading northeast and beyond taxiway Delta; and 4) The remainder of EDN airfield avoiding personnel and fixed installations.
