# ALAXO One Alpha arrival to runways 16 and 27

> ALAXO One Alpha arrival to runways 16 and 27.

This **RNP 1** arrival uses magnetic tracks and distances in nautical miles (NM). Altitudes are feet above mean sea level. Maximum indicated airspeed (IAS) is **250 kt below 10,000 ft**, with the additional runway-specific speeds below.

The route tables keep **segment minimum altitudes** separate from **waypoint crossing restrictions**. Distances are for each leg.

The chart depicts a **right-turn hold at ALAXO with inbound track 064°**. It does not print a holding altitude or leg time.

## Common route to KEELA

| From | Track | To | Distance | Segment minimum altitude | Crossing restriction |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| ALAXO | 070° | IKUNA | 23 NM | 3,100 ft | IKUNA at or above 9,000 ft |
| IKUNA | 069° | KEELA | 16 NM | 2,100 ft | KEELA at or above 6,000 ft |

At KEELA, follow the branch for your cleared runway.

## Runway 16

Fly **230 kt IAS from KIKEX**, then **no more than 185 kt from BELTA**. The chart’s ATC approach-speed range at **BELTA is 160–185 kt**.

| From | Track | To | Distance | Segment minimum altitude | Crossing restriction |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| KEELA | 070° | PASCO | 8 NM | 2,100 ft | — |
| PASCO | 345° | JADEL | 9 NM | 2,400 ft | JADEL between 6,000 and 8,000 ft |
| JADEL | 345° | KIKEX | 4 NM | 2,900 ft | — |
| KIKEX | 345° | NEFER | 3 NM | 2,900 ft | NEFER between 4,000 and 6,000 ft |
| NEFER | 248° | BELTA | 7 NM | 3,000 ft | — |

Turn **left at PASCO** and **left at NEFER**. From BELTA, continue via the cleared [GLS runway 16](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/gls-runway-16.md), [RNP Z runway 16](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/rnp-z-runway-16.md), [ILS-Y/localizer-Y runway 16](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/ils-y-or-loc-y-runway-16.md) or [ILS-Z/localizer-Z runway 16](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/ils-z-or-loc-z-runway-16-part-1.md).

## Runway 27

Fly **230 kt IAS from NOMID**, then **no more than 185 kt from VISAS**. The chart’s ATC approach-speed range at **VISAS is 160–185 kt**.

| From | Track | To | Distance | Segment minimum altitude | Crossing restriction |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| KEELA | 083° | NOMID | 4 NM | 2,100 ft | — |
| NOMID | 083° | ROCEL | 7 NM | 2,100 ft | ROCEL at or above 4,000 ft |
| ROCEL | 352° | VISAS | 5 NM | 1,900 ft | — |

Turn **right at KEELA** and **left at ROCEL**. From VISAS, continue via the cleared [GLS runway 27](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/gls-runway-27.md), [RNP runway 27](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/rnp-runway-27.md), [ILS-Y/localizer-Y runway 27](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/ils-y-or-loc-y-runway-27.md) or [ILS-Z/localizer-Z runway 27](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/charts/ils-z-or-loc-z-runway-27.md).

## Radio failure in instrument conditions

Set transponder code **7600**. Comply with the vertical-navigation requirements, but **do not descend below the minimum sector altitude**. Follow the latest arrival clearance to the nominated runway, then fly the most suitable approach.

## Frequencies

All frequencies are MHz.

| Service | Frequency |
| - | - |
| ATIS | 114.1 or 118.0 |
| Approach | 129.4 or 132.0 |
| Tower | 120.5 |
| Surface movement | 121.7 |

## Sector altitudes and chart conventions

The **10 NM minimum sector altitude (MSA) is 3,300 ft**. The **25 NM MSA**, centred on the **YMML aerodrome reference point**, is **4,500 ft in the northern sector** and **3,700 ft in the southern sector**. The boundaries are labelled **B-080° on the west side** and **B-260° on the east side**; these are bearing labels, not VOR radials.

The diagram uses **12° east magnetic variation** and is **not to scale**. **YMEN** identifies nearby Essendon Airport.
