### SID Selection
Aircraft planned via **KEXAR**, **LIMLO**, **MONDO**, **UBSON**, shall be assigned the **Procedural SID** that terminates at the appropriate waypoint.

Aircraft who are not planned via those points may be assigned the **WLM (RADAR) SID** or a visual departure.

#### Fast-Jet SIDs
!!! important
These procedures are only available when the WLM TMA is extended above `F125` through NOTAM or prior coordination. ACD must ensure that the controller responsible for the WLM TMA has approved their use prior to issuing airways clearance.

The [TERMA](https://ais-af.airforce.gov.au/australian-aip) contains two SIDs for use by fast-jet aircraft, allowing them to depart via any of the nominated [SUA gates](#sua-gates).

!!! note
These SIDs are not present in vatSys, so WLM ACD must write the name of the SID in the Global Ops Field of the FDR and amend the flight plan route to include the relevant gate, as well as any RNAV tracking points on the procedure.

Aircraft shall be assigned a SID based on their cleared gate, as per below:

| Tracking Gate | SID | Initial Constraint |
| ----- | ---------| --------------- |
| G1-G2 | PEPPER | `A080` at ERVEV |
| G3-G7 | CLASSIC | `F125` at G3-G7 |
| G9 | WLM (RADAR) | `F125` at G9 |
| UKDIP | CLASSIC | `A090` at UKDIP |
| OLVEP | CLASSIC | `F130` at OLVEP |

!!! phraseology
WGTL21 plans to enter M550 via Gate 4 for Military Training.
**WLM ADC**: "WGTL21, cleared to YWLM via Gate 4, flight planned route, runway 12, Classic 1 departure, climb via SID to F125, squawk 5001, departure frequency 133.3"

Aircraft on the **CLASSIC SID** must be instructed to make left or right turn with their takeoff clearance, as per the SID procedure. See [coordination](#departures) for coordination requirements with the TCU.

### SUA Gates
There are 8 gates to facilitate departures and arrivals into surrounding training airspace, based on the WLM TACAN.

| Gate Name | Ident | Bearing (°M) | Distance (nm) | Restricted Area |
| ----- | ---------| --------------- | -------- | ---------------- |
| Gate 1 | G1 | 029 | 25 | R586 |
| Gate 2 | G2 | 050 | 25 | R586 |

| Gate 4 | G4 | 088 | 25 | M550 |
| Gate 5 | G5 | 105 | 25 | M550 |
| Gate 6 | G6 | 125 | 25 | M550 |
| Gate 7 | G7 | 135 | 25 | M550 |
| Gate 9 | G9 | 007 | 25 | R585 |

Aircraft cleared via a gate must have their flight plan amended to reflect the new tracking point.

!!! example
An aircraft tracking via Gate 4 would have `WLM088025` added to their route.

### Initial and Pitch Procedures
The Intial Points for RWY 12 is the SW tip of Grahamstown Dam, and RWY 30 is the coastline.

The Standard Assignable level from WLM ADC to WLM TCU is:
a) the lower of `F120` or the `RFL`, for aircraft assigned a **civil** procedural or radar SID, or visual departure
b) `F125`, for aircraft assigned a fast-jet SID

#### CLASSIC SID
The **CLASSIC SID** provides multiple tracking paths which pilots will take based on their departure instructions. During Next coordination with ADC, **WLM TCU** shall nominate a turn direction which will be relayed to the pilot with their takeoff clearance.

### Arrivals/Overfliers
Voiceless coordination is in place from WLM TCU to WLM ADC for arrivals cleared for an approach on to a runway nominated on the ATIS. All other aircraft and all overfliers must be heads-up coordinated as soon as practical.

## Airspace
### Default
By default, WLM TCU owns the airspace within the WLM MIL CTR `SFC` to `F125`. This may be amended by NOTAM.

When WLM TCU is active above `F125` by ad-hoc release or NOTAM, WLM-L_APP owns the airspace `SFC` to `F125`, while WLM APP owns the rest of WLM TCU airspace above `F125`. This may be adjusted as required with coordination.
