# Melbourne: Coordination

> Melbourne: Coordination: frequencies, local rules and operational references.

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:

| Aircraft | Level |
| - | - |
| All | The lower of A050 and RFL |

* [Standard Assignable Heading](https://www.narev.ai/docs/irl-gym/airports/melbourne/procedures/coordination.md#standard-assignable-departure-headings)
* Next

## 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 | W | NW | NE | SE | S/SW |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| RWY 09 | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| RWY 16 (16AD) | H160 | H290 | H290 | H160 | H160 |
| RWY 16 (09A16D) | H160 | H160 | H160 | H160 | H160 |
| RWY 27 | H260 | H320 | H290 | H260 | H260 |
| RWY 34 | H260 | H340 | H340 | H340 | H260 |

## 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.

### RWY 09

| Runway | Via | Departure Frequency |
| - | - | - |
| 09 | Tracking NW, N, or NE | 118.9 (MDN) |
| 09 | Tracking SW, S, or SE | 129.4 (MDS) |

### RWY 16

| Runway | Via | Departure Frequency |
| - | - | - |
| 16 | MNG NONIX DOSEL KEPPA PEDNI Tracking NW, N, or NE | 118.9 (MDN) |
| 16 | CORRS CRENA ESDIG ISPEG SUNTI Tracking SW, S, or SE | 129.4 (MDS) |

### RWY 27

| Runway | Via | Departure Frequency |
| - | - | - |
| 27 | MNG NONIX DOSEL KEPPA PEDNI Tracking NW, N, or NE | 118.9 (MDN) |
| 27 | CORRS CRENA ESDIG SUNTI Tracking SW, S, or SE | 129.4 (MDS) |

### RWY 34

| Runway | Via | Departure Frequency |
| - | - | - |
| 34 | CORRS MNG NONIX DOSEL KEPPA PEDNI SUNTI Tracking NW, N, NE, or SE | 118.9 (MDN) |
| 34 | CRENA ESDIG Tracking SW, or S | 129.4 (MDS) |

## 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.
