Apologies if the PR has any issues, not used github for a while.

Thanks,

@llamavert this looks like great work, thanks so much for putting it together! We've standardised how our aerodrome SOPs pages are formatted, so would you mind moving this Helicopter Operations section into the Airspace section? Below is how we've set it up for Sydney

Edit: Scratch that, looks like we haven't pushed that update yet, where it is is good for now.

Some really great work here, just a few minor wording changes.

We need to work out how the helicopter procedures will fit in with the existing airspace structure, either by assigning jurisdiction of the CTR to ADC so they can manage it themselves, or by setting up coordination rules so that the TMA can maintain ownership but use visual separation standards maintained by ADC.

[mattkelly4]

We'll need to decide which ADC is responsible for each part of the aerodrome, since ADC doesn't own any airspace by default. This might need to be coordinated with the TMA or we might need to give ADC some airspace to manage it themselves. @alphadelta332 thoughts?

[mattkelly4]

We'll need to sort out the coordination required if ADC is going to clear the aircraft for a visual approach. Might be easier to give BN ADC ownership of the CTR

[llamavert]

Not sure if it's worth mentioning, but IRL ADC (120.5) often clears aircraft landing on H2 for the visual approach, and pretty sure ADC-N (118.0) clear aircraft for the visual approach F4 HLS.

[mattkelly4]

Yeah cool, I guess that makes sense based on their likely inbound direction.

[mattkelly4]

Are the heli waypoints separated from fixed wing ops? If so, we might suggest that as a course of action exclusively, rather than present position.

[llamavert]

The heli waypoints are separated from fixed wing ops, the actual suburb / waypoint of Bald Hills is 6nm north of 01L/19R. I only added the present position call in case the helis are pasted Bald Hills are over some of the closer suburbs. But from what i've heard IRL, Bald Hills doesn't necessarily act as a clearance limit, just an inbound reporting point. However I may be wrong and it could be important that we mention it similar to how Sydney's coded arrivals work with holding at the limit.

[mattkelly4]

Ah right, that's good then. There's also a likelihood that these aircraft will enter the CTR directly from class G. I suspect we'll end up going down the line of TMA clearing them to say A010V and issuing a clearance limit of the waypoint, then contacting TWR for visual approach clearance (who will instruct them to remain clear of any fixed wing traffic if necessary). If the aircraft is going Class G->CTR, they will likely be told to remain OCTA until that takes place. Hold tight for now and we'll see whether we want to redo the BN CTR jurisdiction
