Canberra southbound and westbound jet departures

This RNP 1 chart contains HOWLY Nine, Wagga (WG) Two, NONUP Nine and TANTA Three departures for jets using runways 17 and 35. Maximum IAS is 250 kt below 10,000 ft.

Runway 35: initial climb

Climb at 6.8% to 3,400 ft, then 3.3%. Not before the departure end of the runway, turn right and track 353° to GUTMO, then continue on 353°. Turn left only after passing both GUTMO and 7,000 ft.

Departure	Routing after the initial left turn
HOWLY Nine	Track direct to SCULN, then 273° to HOWLY, then as cleared.
Wagga (WG) Two	Track direct to MAJOR, crossing at or above 10,000 ft; then 260° to WG VOR, then as cleared.
NONUP Nine	Track direct to MAJOR, crossing at or above 10,000 ft; then 235° to NONUP, then as cleared.
TANTA Three	Track direct to MAJOR, crossing at or above 10,000 ft. Turn left onto 175° to KEATS, crossing at or above FL180. Continue 175° to KELLY, then turn right onto 223° to TANTA, then as cleared.

Runway 17

Climb at 4.9% to 4,800 ft, then 3.3%. Track 168°. At 3,200 ft, turn right and track direct to BIDGI, approximately 180°.

Departure	Routing from BIDGI
HOWLY Nine	Turn right onto 254° to KEATS, then right onto 294° to HOWLY, then as cleared.
Wagga (WG) Two	Turn right onto 254° to KEATS, then right onto 275° to WG VOR, then as cleared.
NONUP Nine	Turn right onto 254° to KEATS, then right onto 271° to NONUP, then as cleared.
TANTA Three	Turn right onto 222° to KELLY, then 223° to TANTA, then as cleared.

The FL180 restriction at KEATS is labelled for runway 35. Do not transfer that label to the runway 17 branch without an applicable clearance or restriction.

Sector altitudes and chart conventions

The 10 NM MSA is 5,100 ft. The 25 NM diagram is referenced to the YSCB aerodrome reference point: the northern/eastern sector bounded by chart bearings B-125° and B-250° is 4,600 ft, the southern sector between B-250° and B-075° is 7,500 ft, and the western sector between B-075° and B-125° is 5,900 ft. These are the bearing labels on the ARP diagram, not CB VOR radial labels. Tracks are magnetic, elevations are feet AMSL, and distances in parentheses are NM. The diagram shows 12° E magnetic variation and is not to scale. Published change note: runway 35 gradient; magnetic track; editorial.
