!!! note
A significant portion of the TMA airspace south of the PH VOR (roughly 20 DME onwards) is classified Class E with a lower limit of `F125`. Aircraft arriving from this direction from `F130` and above shall be instructed to leave and re-enter controlled airspace on descent to the standard assignable level (or other appropriate altitude).

A significant portion of the TMA airspace south of the PH VOR (roughly 20 DME onwards) is classified Class E with a lower limit of `F125`. RPT aircraft frequently enter/exit the TMA via this airspace, see [Departure Procedures](#departure-procedures) for more info.

## Runway Modes
Generally, YPPH operates on either the Southwest or Northeast runway plan, as below. Where strong winds dictate the use of only a single runway, this shall be nominated in the ATIS.

### Southwest Plan
With the Southwest Plan active, all departures shall be assigned runway 21 by **PH ACD**. Arrivals shall be processed to either runway 21 or 24 based on their feeder fix, as per the table below:

### YPEA Arrivals

## JT/PEA ADC Offline
Due to the low level of CTA at these aerodromes, it is best practice to give airways clearance to aircraft at the holding point, to ensure departing aircraft can have uninterrupted climb.

!!! example
**AAC**: "Perth Approach, AAC, PC12, POB 8, IFR, Taxiing YPJT for YPKG, Runway 06L"
**PH TCU**: "AAC, Perth Approach, Squawk 3601, No Reported IFR Traffic, Report Ready at the Holding Point for Airways Clearance"
**PHA**: "AAC, Perth Approach, Squawk 3601, No Reported IFR Traffic, Report Ready at the Holding Point for Airways Clearance"
**AAC**: "Squawk 3601, Wilco, AAC"

**AAC**: "AAC, Ready Runway 06L, Request clearance"
**PH TCU**: "AAC, Cleared to YPKG via PH, Flight Planned Route. Make Visual Right turn DCT PH, Climb to A040"
**PHA**: "AAC, Cleared to YPKG via PH, Flight Planned Route. Make Visual Right turn DCT PH, Climb to A040"
**AAC**: "Cleared to YPKG via PH, Flight Planned Route. Make Visual Right turn DCT PH, Climb to A040, AAC"

## Airspace Division
## Departure Procedures
Aircraft departing the TMA to the south planned at `F130` or above will likely leave and re-enter CTA on climb. These aircraft should be instructed to leave and re-enter on climb to the standard assignable level (or other level as appropriate).

!!! example
**PHD**: "RXA2125, leave and re-enter controlled airspace on climb to F180, no reported IFR traffic"
**RXA2125**: "Leave and re-enter controlled airspace on climb to F180, RXA2125"

## Airspace Division
The divisions of the airspace between **PHA**, and **PHD** change based on the Runway Mode.
