What three conditions must be met before re-clearing an outbound aircraft direct to points outside Adelaide TCU?
- Cleared direct to a navigation aid, turning point or reporting point on the cleared route within 55 NM Adelaide or direct to ALBUT or NATYA;
- Separated from aircraft on inbound non-coordination routes, or previously coordinated traffic from Barossa; and
- Crosses the AD – Barossa boundary within 3 NM of the original route for non-jets or the nominal procedural SID track for jets.
When sequencing two aircraft to crossing runways, what distance must a jet be when the first aircraft crosses the threshold?
A runway standard
Where could a pilot find information relating to the VITAA and its use?
ERSA FAC A
For IFR/SVFR arrivals into Parafield what is the mandated acceptance rate by PF TWR?
When VMC exists in the whole Parafield CTR, what can this be reduced to?
Not less than seven minutes apart based on the estimate at the transfer points.
a) no less than 5 NM in trail; or
b) by the application of ‘Sight and Follow’ visual separation (by pilot).
List two of the three conditions that must be met before clearing an aircraft direct to a destination within 90NM Adelaide.
- The aircraft is initially cleared via an approved outbound route;
- The aircraft is established outbound and clear of conflicting TCU traffic and opposite direction Barossa traffic; and
- Appropriate coordination and approval is issued by Barossa.
What airspace would you release to the tower to accommodate an aircraft who wishes to conduct circuits at Adelaide airport?
How is this release indicated?
CIRA
Display the appropriate RMAP
YTV a TOBA 20NM west of Adelaide at A035, reports that the engine has failed. Would you divert any aircraft to the area, and if so, for what purpose?
Yes
For possible intercept/sighting and/or escort
AAW is authorised to operate up to the boundary with AAE. List the three exceptions to this rule.
AAW is authorised to operate up to the boundary except for aircraft:
a) overflying within 3 NM of YPAD;
b) in possible conflict with AAE traffic established below the bar in the Adelaide arrival sequence; or
c) in possible conflict with AAE traffic departing from duty RWY 05/23.
Two SF340B aircraft are on final for RWY 12 with less than 3NM separation.
Which of the following conditions must have been met before Adelaide tower automatically accepts separation responsibility?
Visual separation is applied when:
- The weather conditions are at or greater than 8.1 Minima for VFR operations (See note).
2) ADC provides visual separation:
i) between arriving aircraft within 5 NM of Adelaide and on final for the same or a crossing runway, providing the aircraft have been sequenced by Adelaide TCU for the applicable runway or wake turbulence separation standard.
Note: Minima for VFR operations - The following minima apply to the AD CTR for VFR operations:
a) Visibility 5000 m; and
b) Ceiling:
i) 1500 FT in the CIRA and coastal offshore; and
ii) 2000 FT elsewhere.
If RXA4693 is followed by RXA4695, both to YPLC off runway 23, what separation must the ADC provide?
3NM
Except when visual separation is applied, or as specified in the paragraph below, the ADC provides at least 3 NM separation or the appropriate radar wake turbulence separation if greater, between aircraft of similar performance on tracks/headings that diverge by less than 35 degrees.
Because of very strong north-westerly winds QFA738 for Sydney is departing RWY 30. What altitude requirements apply?
5000 FT before crossing the coastline east bound.
What type of departure will Adelaide Clearance Delivery issue to IFR aircraft departing Adelaide?
ACD issues in order of priority:
1) Procedural SID to jet aircraft where the procedure is available for their planned route, except:
i) F100 aircraft; or
ii) aircraft that are unable to comply with the procedural SID requirements; or
iii) where aircraft are departing RWY 05 when reciprocal runway mode is in operation.
2) SID (Radar); and
3) VSD by day in VMC to:
i) helicopters;
ii) other aircraft unable to fly a SID; and
iii) priority flights (e.g. MEDEVAC) on pilot request.
When is it permissible to vector a SVFR flight?
When warranted by emergency conditions
Do not vector:
c) special VFR aircraft, except when warranted by emergency conditions
Are you required to display the scale marker on the Main Display when using the standard TCU set up? What conditions must be met?
Scale marker not required
A scale marker is not required when operating a TWR/TCU position:
a) on a range scale not exceeding 100 NM; and
b) a map showing detailed distance information is displayed.
Use a diagram to describe the following elements of the Adelaide/Parafield NDB-Z RWY 21 approach holding pattern, basic pattern (do not include specific bearings), missed approach track.
Track in 036 deg, left hand holding pattern, 1 minute legs, missed approach at PF NDB turn right, H270 climb to A030.

- RIKAB (X) ARRIVAL RWY 23
- Yes
2. No
Is it a requirement to read back the runway when Parafield ADC includes it with the ‘NEXT’ call?
Yes
Read back the key elements of any received coordination, clearance or instruction from another ATSO.
Obtain a readback of the key elements of the following ATC clearances, instructions and information: d) an assigned runway or HLS
