  1. Helipad West IFR departure
  2. SID (RADAR) departure

Non-published IFR departure:

Pilot request to ‘DEPART FROM HELIPAD WEST’ and advise set course requirements

Airways Clearance will not include a SID (RADAR) or VSD.

Whilst under own navigation, the Pilot is responsible for terrain/obstacle clearance until reaching the LSALT/MVA.

SID (RADAR) Departure RWY 23/05/30/12:

Pilot requests ‘ADELAIDE (X) DEPARTURE’ and the preferred runway

The pilot may request clearance to enter HELIPAD WEST in preparation for departure or report READY from the apron area.

When able to do so, ATC will issue the following instruction ‘AIRTRANSIT TO RWYXX, ASSIGNED HEADING XXX, CLEARED FOR TAKE-OFF’.

The Pilot is responsible for terrain/obstacle clearance during the Air Transit.

Q

HVM (YBEV - YPPF, arriving after PF TWR closes into the CTAF) fails to cancel SAR upon arrival with AD CEN. The aural SAR alarm on the FDR activates after the required time. Should you ‘cancel’ the SAR timer or only acknowledge it?
