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.
This arrival has a visual continuation from SHEED. The chart does not specify daylight or weather minima for that continuation; those applicability rules remain to be added to this draft.
Instrument route to SHEED
Fly 230 kt IAS from IGPON, then no more than 185 kt from EGEKA. From SHEED, the source requires at least 150 kt IAS. Its ATC approach-speed ranges are 160–185 kt at EGEKA and 150–160 kt at SHEED.
Turn right at MOSVO onto 256°.
Visual continuation
From SHEED, track 257° visually for 3 NM to ASUKI. At ASUKI, turn right for a visual intercept of runway 34 final. The diagram labels the final visual connection 3 NM; it does not provide an instrument track or altitude profile for that connection.
Identify Melbourne runway 34 by its runway threshold identification lights. Essendon Airport is 5 NM south-east of ML.
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.
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.
