Western Australia Route Review - Perth SID/STAR Simulator Trials
Over the weekend of the 10th to 12th November, Perth ATC conducted a simulator trial of SID/STAR options to support the proposed 3A route structure. The trial plainly displayed the difficulties in developing SID/STAR for Perth given the constraints mentioned previously on this site (100deg usable airspace to east, mix of prop and jet traffic, geographic location of Perth on Australian continent, environmental factors etc). The reality is that no design can satisfy all competing interests, it must therefore of necessity be a compromise of various factors with safety clearly ruling as the paramount concern. The information and graphics in the document accessed from the link below detail the issues and options that will be evaluated further. Following the next trial animated PowerPoint graphics of the final SID/STAR package will be made available. Please Note: Not all traffic management routing is shown, only major Jet/Prop tracking.
