Rockhampton (YBRK)
Terminal Airspace
RΚ ADC is responsible for the Class D airspace within the ΡΚ CTR from SFC to A010. RΚΑ is responsible for the RK Keyhole airspace from SFC to F150 (excluding RK ADC's jurisdiction).
Tower Closed Procedures
When RK ADC is closed, RKA or KPL may choose to either extend top down to YBRK, 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.

| Aircraft Type | Runway | First Waypoint | SID |
