Departure runway use
Jets departing runway 16 between 23:00 and 06:00 must use the full runway length. Jet noise-abatement climb procedures apply to runways 16 and 09. The source states where those climbs apply but does not give the aircraft climb sequence. That sequence and the training-flight provisions remain missing from this draft.Flight paths over populated areas
Over densely populated areas, the minimum height is 5,000 ft AGL for jets and 3,000 ft AGL for non-jets, except where impractical in the normal course of operation to and from the airport runways. ATC normally routes instrument-flight-rules (IFR) departures along a standard instrument departure (SID). When an aircraft is not following a procedural SID, ATC uses flight paths approximating the relevant SID tracks where possible, while complying with the populated-area height rule above. IFR arrivals must follow standard arrival route (STAR) tracks where available. ATC may vector an aircraft from a STAR downwind or base leg to final approach. Other variations from STAR tracks are allowed only when essential for sequencing or separation. Arrivals that are not following a STAR must comply with the populated-area height rule above.Runway 16: left-base arrivals
Aircraft fly the STAR via BELTA, or a visual left-base track to the final approach fix (FAF), with these conditions:- Do not shorten the track before SEKNU on the BOOIN STAR or VALES on the BOYSE STAR. The source labels those points 20 ML and 30 ML, respectively.
- If separation requires positioning north of the STAR base leg, ATC should route the aircraft clear of Wallan township. If Wallan cannot be avoided, jet overflight should be at or above 6,000 ft AMSL whenever practicable.
Runway 34: arrivals
DME is distance-measuring equipment; 5 DME ML means a distance of 5 NM from ML DME, not 5 NM from the runway threshold.
