Mackay (YBMK)

Terminal Airspace

MK ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace within the MK CTR from SFC to A010. MKA is responsible for the MK Keyhole airspace from SFC to F150 (excluding MK ADC's jurisdiction).

Tower Closed Procedures

When MK ADC is closed, MKA or KPL may choose to either extend top down to YBMK, or reclassify the Class D airspace from SFC to A007 as Class G and A007 to A045 as Class E. Check for a Zulu ATIS to confirm the airspace arrangement.

VFR aircraft should expect to depart via a visual departure, on track to their first tracking point.

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

Aircraft Type Runway First Waypoint SID
All All CLIFT CLIFT SID
All All MUNAR MUNAR SID

All other aircraft should expect the MK (RADAR) SID.

Arrivals

RNP and VOR approaches are available to both runways. A VOR and NDB approach is available to the circling area.

IFR aircraft can generally expect to be processed via a STAR, or direct to the IAF, for the most suitable (or requested) approach.
