Avalon (YMAV)

Departures

VFR aircraft should expect to depart via a visual departure, on track to their first tracking point or via an extended leg of the circuit.

IFR aircraft should expect to be issued with a SID as per below:

Aircraft Type	Runway	First Waypoint	SID
All	All	ML	JUSTY SID

Aircraft planned to the northeast via a waypoint other than ML can expect to be rerouted via ML and cleared via the JUSTY SID. All other aircraft shall expect the AV (RADAR) SID.

Arrivals

An ILS is available to RWY 18. RNP and VOR approaches are available to both runways. An RNP(AR) approach is available to RWY 36.

IFR aircraft can generally expect to be processed via the JAYBI STAR, or direct to the IAF, terminating with the following approach:

Runway	Approach
18	ILS
36	RNP(AR) or RNP if unable

Tower Closed Procedures

When AV ADC is closed, the AV CTR is reclassified as Class G from SFC to A007. Class E airspace begins at A007.

Outbound

Departing aircraft will require an airways clearance on the ground, due to the low level of CTA. Aircraft should report taxiing to the TCU controller, who will issue a squawk code and traffic statement. These aircraft should be instructed to report at the holding point, where airways clearance will be issued.

Phraseology

AM318: "Melbourne Approach, AM318, King Air, POB 2, IFR, taxiing YMAV runway 18 for YMEN"
ML TCU: "AM318, Melbourne Approach, squawk 3542, no reported IFR traffic, report ready at the holding point for airways clearance"
AM318: "Squawk 3542, wilco, AM318"

AM318: "AM318, ready runway 18"
ML TCU: "AM318, cleared to YMEN direct. Enter controlled airspace on the AV5 departure, climb via SID to A040"
AM318: "Cleared to YMEN direct. Enter controlled airspace on the AV5 departure, climb via SID to A040, AM318"
ML TCU: "AM318, assigned heading left 020, report airborne"
AM318: "Assigned left 020, wilco, AM318"

Inbound

Due to the low level of CTA above Avalon, aircraft conducting approaches will commence the approach inside controlled airspace and leave CTA on descent. If the aircraft goes around, they will re-enter controlled airspace.

Note

A clearance to conduct an instrument approach constitutes a clearance to carry out the published missed approach, including re-entering CTA.

Phraseology

ML TCU: "JST607, leave controlled airspace descending via the ILS Runway 18 approach, no reported IFR traffic, report clear of the runway"
JST607: "Leave controlled airspace descending via the ILS Runway 18 approach, JST607"

JST607: "JST607, clear of the runway, Avalon, cancel SARWATCH"
ML TCU: "JST607, Avalon SARWATCH terminated"
