Launceston (YMLT)

Terminal Airspace

LT ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace within the LT CTR from SFC to A015. LTA is responsible for the airspace within a 30nm radius of the LT VOR from SFC to F245 (excluding LT ADC's jurisdiction).

Tower Closed Procedures

When LT ADC is closed, LTA or HUO may choose to either extend top down to YMLT, or reclassify the Class C & D airspace from SFC to A085 as Class G. Check for a Zulu ATIS to confirm the airspace arrangement.

HBA may choose to extend to cover LTA.

Departures

VFR aircraft should expect to depart via a visual departure, on track to their first tracking point. A number of VFR reporting points exist to facilitate inbound and outbound tracking.

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

Aircraft Type Runway First Waypoint SID
All All IRSOM IRSOM ALPHA SID
All All MIKIS MIKIS SID
All All MORGO MORGO SID
All All TASUM TASUM SID
All All VEKLO VEKLO SID
All RWY 32L FLIKI FLIKI ALPHA SID
All RWY 32L MOTRA MOTRA ALPHA SID
All RWY 32L NUNPA NUNPA ALPHA SID
All RWY 32L VIMAP VIMAP ALPHA SID
All RWY 14R FLIKI FLIKI BRAVO SID
All RWY 14R MOTRA MOTRA BRAVO SID
All RWY 14R NUNPA NUNPA BRAVO SID
All RWY 14R VIMAP VIMAP BRAVO SID
Non-Jets RWY 14R MORGO MORGO CHARLIE SID, by pilot request only
Non-Jets RWY 14R IRSOM IRSOM CHARLIE SID, by pilot request only
Non-Jets RWY 14R FLIKI FLIKI CHARLIE SID, by pilot request only

All other aircraft shall expect to be rerouted in accordance with the table above, or assigned the LT (RADAR) SID.

By day VMC, pilots may request or be assigned a visual departure.

Arrivals

An ILS is available to RWY 32L only. RNP & VOR approaches are available to both runways.

IFR aircraft can generally expect to be processed via a visual approach where suitable, otherwise to be rerouted to the IAF for the RNP approach.

Aircraft from the north for RWY 32L can expect amended tracking in accordance with the table below:

Via Routing
IRSOM NODAS MLTSC
NUNPA ELREL MLTSA

MSA

The VOR and ILS approach to RWY 32L commence from either overhead the VOR or from a straight in position. The straight in IAF has a commencement altitude below the MSA. Pilots can expect a clearance to descend not below the DME steps to reach the IAF, then in accordance with the assigned approach. Pilots cleared in this manner must reference the DME OR GNSS ARRIVAL chart until they are established on the assigned approach.
