Set up the approach
Select GLS channel 21557, identifier G25A, with final approach course 242°. Distances are to RW25, the runway threshold. Aircraft may be radar vectored to final approach.
Final approach
The profile shows a 3,000 ft level segment into JELLI, 9.8 NM from RW25, followed by a 3° glidepath on 242°. Pass PEGBA, 4.8 NM from RW25, at a path altitude of 1,610 ft. Threshold crossing height is 48 ft.
Straight-in minima
For categories A, B, C and D/DL, the GLS decision altitude is 230 ft, a 210 ft height above threshold. Required visibility is 1.5 km, with 1,500 m runway visual range (RVR) printed on the chart.
Missed approach
Track 242° and climb to 3,000 ft, or as directed by ATC.
Speeds and holding
Cross JELLI at no more than 185 kt indicated airspeed and PEGBA at no less than 150 kt. The chart’s ATC approach speed ranges are 160–185 kt at JELLI and 150–160 kt at PEGBA. Holding is as directed by ATC; the chart does not specify a holding pattern.
Circling and alternate minima
Do not circle beyond 3 DME from SY, east of runway 16R and north of runway 25. The distance for this restriction is from SY DME, not the runway threshold or the approach’s distance reference.
Frequencies
All radio frequencies are MHz.
Terrain and chart conventions
Use QNH. Altitudes and elevations are feet above mean sea level; tracks are magnetic. The chart shows 13° east magnetic variation and a 1:500,000 map scale. Aerodrome elevation is 21 ft and runway 25 threshold elevation is 20 ft.
The 25 NM minimum sector altitude is 2,700 ft and the 10 NM minimum sector altitude is 2,100 ft, both centred on the YSSY aerodrome reference point.
The map’s labelled obstacle and spot elevations are 160, 190, 250, 255, 299, 306, 320, 385, 389, 421, 426, 430, 545, 641, 677, 725, 862, 887, 894, 1,001, 1,074 and 1,085 ft. Their geographic placement still requires a complete text description.
