SID Selection at Melbourne (YMML).
Jet Aircraft planned via MNG, NONIX, DOSEL, CORRS, KEPPA, PEDNI, SUNTI, ESDIG, or CRENA, shall be assigned the Procedural SID that terminates at the appropriate waypoint. Jet Aircraft not planned via any of these waypoints shall receive amended routing via the most appropriate SID terminus, unless the pilot indicates they are unable to accept a Procedural SID.
Off Mode Departures
Off Mode: Aircraft departing from a runway not prescribed as active for departures on the ATIS. For example, a heavy aircraft that operationally requires Runway 16 for departure during the 16A/27D Mode.
For jet aircraft departing Runway 16 Off Mode via MNG, NONIX, DOSEL, KEPPA, PEDNI, or ESDIG, the ISPEG SID must be assigned. Off Mode departures to the south-east shall be assigned the relevant Procedural SID.
The ISPEG SID does not resolve all conflicts. Departures via SUNTI and CORRS need to be handled tactically by ML TCU.
Radar SID
a) Jet aircraft departing Off Mode that don’t meet the above criteria; or
b) Non-Jet Aircraft; or
c) All aircraft using Runway 09; or
d) Aircraft that cannot accept a Procedural SID
Shall be assigned the Radar SID.
