Arrival to OVILS
BOREE Five Alpha is an RNP 1 arrival. Cross BOREE at or above 9,000 ft. Follow the common route to OVILS, then take the branch for the cleared runway.
Distances are for each leg. The segment minimum altitude column reproduces the chart’s route altitude labels; waypoint crossing restrictions are listed separately.
Runways 07, 16L, 16R and 25
From OVILS, continue on track 158° and expect radar vectors to final.
Runway 34L
From NASHO, continue on track 155° and expect radar vectors to final.
Runway 34R
From JAKLN, continue on track 155° and expect radar vectors to final. During precision runway monitoring operations, expect to track downwind until reaching 2,000 ft.
Approach speeds
Keep indicated airspeed at or below 250 kt below 10,000 ft, as well as any tighter limit stated on the route. The chart lists these ATC approach speed ranges:
Radio failure in instrument conditions
If able, contact Sydney approach on +61 2 9556 6515. 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 radio frequencies are MHz.
Sector altitudes and chart conventions
The 25 NM minimum sector altitude is 2,700 ft, centred on the YSSY aerodrome reference point. The 10 NM minimum sector altitude is 2,100 ft. Bearings are magnetic, with 13° east variation. Altitudes are feet above mean sea level unless a flight level is stated. These route diagrams are not to scale.
