## Airspace
EN ADC is responsible for the Class C airspace in the "Coffin" `SFC` to `A015`, and in the "South East Quadrant" `SFC` to `A020`.

## Runway Selection
Consideration of the Melbourne duty runway(s) should be made when nominating runways. The effect of Melbourne traffic on a runway selection takes priority over compliance with DAP Noise Abatement Procedures.

The 26A17D runway mode is most optimal for facilitating separation with YMML traffic.

## Departures

## Separation
EN ADC is responsible for **all separation** with YMML Traffic, including arrivals to RWY34 via the MONTY-SHEED track, and all potential arrivals, departures, and missed approach paths.
Some important points to note are that:
- Aircraft operating on or south of the 08/26 Centreline are separated with YMML 09/27 Traffic at all times
- Aircraft operating on or east of the 17/35 Centreline are **only** visually separated with YMML 16/34 Traffic in **Day VMC**
- Aircraft conducting the ILS 26 Published Missed Approach are **only** visually separated with YMML 16/34 Traffic in **Day VMC**

### Separation with SHEED Track
By day only, ML TCU may require EN ADC to separate aircraft from the MONTY – SHEED track for RWY 34 ML during the Next call. EN ADC shall separate by restricting the departure to `A015` until clear of the MONTY – SHEED track.
EN ADC must assume that **any runway** at YMML may be used for arrival, departure, or a missed approach, **at any time**.
When the cloud base is below **A020**, or the Visibility is below **5000m**, all aircraft operating within **3nm** of the 09/27 or 16/34 extended centreline must be [boundary coordinated](../../../controller-skills/coordination/#boundary) to ML ADC, as prescribed in [Coordination](#ml-adc)

### Additional EN ADC separation requirements
EN TWR shall separate traffic in EN airspace with:
a) ML RWY 27 Arrivals and ML RWY 09 Departures on or north of ML RWY 09 / 27 centreline;
b) ML RWY 34 arrivals and ML RWY 16 Departures on or west of ML RWY 16 / 34 centreline;
c) ML RWY 34 arrivals from overhead EN;
d) EN arrivals from ML TCU inbound via Arrival Gates or as coordinated.
If ML ADC nominates a restriction, and EN ADC determines they **cannot** maintain visual or lateral separation with the YMML traffic, EN ADC must delay the aircraft in their airspace until the separation can be assured.

## Miscellaneous
Traffic in EN ADC airspace shall squawk 0100 unless a discrete code is required.

### ML ADC
EN ADC must advise ML ADC when “The Coffin” is activated or deactivated.
EN ADC is responsible for separation with all YMML traffic, and must coordinate any aircraft operating in EN ADC airspace that cannot be visually or laterally separated with the 09/27 or 16/34 Extended Centrelines at YMML.

EN ADC must advise ML ADC, for traffic awareness, when an ad hoc airspace release to EN ADC will cause an aircraft to pass within 3 NM of any runway at ML.

### Sunbury Corridor
**ML ADC** may request a release of the Sunbury Corridor from ML TCU, to facilitate movements of Day VFR Helicopters.

Due to the close proximity of the airspace to the arrival and departure paths at YMML, controllers should be aware of surrounding traffic before issuing a clearance to helicopters.

!!! example
**HM3:** "Melbourne Tower, HM3, approaching SWT, A020, for YMEN via the Sunbury Corridor, request clearance"
**ML ADC:** "HM3, cleared to YMEN, track Sunbury Corridor, not above A020"
**HM3:** "Cleared to YMEN, track Sunbury Corridor, not above A020, HM3"

If necessary, consider issuing a clearance limit for separation or instruct helicopters to report sighting and to maintain own separation with other aircraft. Alternatively, tower controllers can simulate visual separation provided no risk of collision exists and both aircraft remain in sight of the controller at all times.

!!! example
**ML ADC:** "HM3, report sighting a Jetstar A320, 4nm final runway 16"
**HM3:** "Traffic sighted, HM3"
**ML ADC:** "HM3, pass behind that aircraft, maintain own separation, caution wake turbulence"
**HM3:** "Pass behind the A320, maintain own separation, HM3"

Remember to pass traffic information to both aircraft.

!!! example
**ML ADC:** "JST515, traffic is a helicopter, 2nm northwest of the field, tracking for Essendon and maintaining own separation with you, runway 16, cleared to land"
**JST515:** "Runway 16, cleared to land, JST515"
