Before arrival
BOREE Five Papa is an RNP 1 arrival to runway 16R. Cross BOREE at or above 9,000 ft. During precision runway monitoring operations, dual VHF communications are required; the PRM instructions are included in this documentation.
Route to the final approach
Distances are for each leg. The segment minimum altitude column reproduces the chart’s route altitude labels; waypoint crossing restrictions are listed separately.
From URDEN, follow the cleared GLS or ILS approach to runway 16R.
Approach speeds
Keep indicated airspeed at or below 250 kt below 10,000 ft. The maximum is 185 kt from URDEN. 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.
