Coordination at Melbourne (YMML).

​
Auto Release

Melbourne utilises auto release for all Procedural SIDs and the ML (RADAR) SID provided aircraft are assigned the Standard Assignable Level and a Standard Assignable Heading. Next coordination is not required for aircraft that are: Assigned a Procedural SID Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and Assigned A050 Assigned the ML (RADAR) SID Departing from a runway nominated on the ATIS; and Assigned A050; and Assigned a Standard Assignable Heading Assigned the ISPEG SID Departing from Runway 16 during the 16A27D Runway Mode; and Assigned A050; and Tracking via MNG, NONIX, DOSEL, KEPPA, PEDNI or ESDIG All other aircraft require a ‘Next’ call to ML TCU. The standard assignable level from ML ADC to ML TCU is:

​
Standard Assignable Departure Headings

Aircraft that have been cleared the ML (RADAR) SID must receive an assigned heading with their line up or takeoff clearance. The following Standard Assignable Headings may be used for aircraft assigned the ML (RADAR) SID, depending on their direction of travel. When Runway 09 is in use for departures, ML TCU shall nominate a heading to ML ADC for use as a standard assignable heading.

​
Runway Change

Any runway change must be prior coordinated to MAE and EN ADC.

​
Departures Controller

When a TCU controller is online, aircraft shall be issued with a departure frequency during their airways clearance in accordance with the table below. If no TCU controllers are online, the appropriate enroute frequency or advisory frequency shall be issued.

EN ADC

EN ADC is responsible for separation with all YMML traffic, and will coordinate any aircraft operating in EN ADC airspace that cannot be visually or laterally separated with YMML traffic.
