## Runway Modes
Single runway operations only.

## Circuit Procedures

The Edinburgh Circuit Area (EDN CIRA) is active at all times when the Edinburgh CTR is active.

Circuit operations occur within the CTR bounded by the Gawler River to the north and the powerline running from the Gawler River (1.5NM south of the Gawler Township) to the south eastern boundary of the ED CTR. Vertical Limits `SFC` to `A020`

If Parafield RWY 03L is active, it can infringe on the circuit deadside. VFR traffic in the ECA is instructed to remain on the west of the RWY centreline.

minor note, just a bit of swapping between abbreviations. Either go with EDN CIRA of ECA for all

Can this be in the form of a !!! example please

Coordination would be a better heading for this section


### Departures
Aircraft can expect to depart to the north, regardless of the duty runway, to conform with Adelaide traffic.

Aircraft will be cleared to an initial level of A040 at clearance delivery unless a lower level is requested. Adelaide Approach will clear aircraft to their planned height following departure.

Can this be tweaked to match the formatting of other Class D Tower Coordination sections please? Have the departures section, arrivals/overfliers section, and standard assignable levels written within them

Not a Class D


Aircraft departing YPED into EDN TCU Class C airspace will be coordinated from EDN ADC at taxi.

Taxi coord can be removed. Not required


!!! example
<span class="hotline">**EDN ADC** -> **AD TCU**</span>: "Taxi, BLKT11 for YMES, via GULLY"
<span class="hotline">**AD TCU** -> **EDN ADC**</span>: "BLKT11"

When the aircraft is ready for takeoff, EDN ADC will give a "Next" call, where AD TCU will provide the cleared level.

!!! example
<span class="hotline">**EDN ADC** -> **AD TCU**</span>: "Next, BLKT11, runway 18"
<span class="hotline">**AD TCU** -> **EDN ADC**</span>: "BLKT11, A050"
<span class="hotline">**EDN ADC** -> **AD TCU**</span>: "A050, BLKT11"

### Arrivals
AD TCU must coordinate the sequence information to EDN ADC prior to transfer of jurisdiction.

Edinburgh is Class C though?


!!! example
<span class="hotline">**AD TCU** -> **EDN ADC**</span>: "New sequence of 2. MRNR21, via AD, Number 1. MRNR22, via AD, Number 2"
<span class="hotline">**EDN ADC** -> **AD TCU**</span>: "MRNR21, Number 1. MRNR22, Number 2"

Could we please move this above the coord section to be in line with other tower formatting?

- **HLS Locations**: The HLS is located on TWY D immediately east of OLA 11. There are no SIDs associated with the HLS; aircraft requiring an instrument departure can expect to depart from the runway.
