This radar departure uses runway-specific initial tracks and turn conditions, followed by the assigned heading or track and radar vectors. During parallel runway operations, do not turn toward the other runway. Maximum IAS is 250 kt below 10,000 ft.

​
Initial runway instructions

At the specified condition, turn to the assigned heading or track, respecting the parallel-runway restriction. Expect radar vectors to the cleared route. The 34L right-turn restriction is additional to the general turn altitude.

​
Departure-area cautions

The diagram warns of trees in the departure areas, and specifically man-made obstacles in the 34R departure area. It depicts Bankstown control zone (BK CTR) from the surface to 1,500 ft west of Sydney. Sydney DME uses identifier SY, frequency 112.1 MHz.

​
OLSEM–Y193–BANDA requirement

For aircraft cleared via OLSEM–Y193–BANDA, reach: Advise ATC if unable to comply.

​
WLM and MATLA requirements

  • If cleared via WLM at or above FL130, reach FL130 by 31 NM from WLM NDB.
  • If cleared via PUDUT–MATLA at or above FL130, reach FL130 by 15 NM from PUDUT, and FL160 by PUDUT.
Advise ATC if unable to comply.

​
Radio failure

On recognizing a communications failure:
  1. Set transponder code 7600.
  2. Maintain the last assigned vector for two minutes. If necessary, climb to minimum safe altitude to maintain terrain clearance.
  3. Then proceed using the latest acknowledged ATC route clearance.

​
Frequencies

All 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. Published changes: climb gradients, caution notes and editorial.
