RSYD Flashcards
According to MATS Part 1, what is an RSYD and under what conditions can it be added to a departure clearance?
Outbound clearances may be issued which do not provide the required separation from either inbound aircraft which have not yet passed their release points or from overflying aircraft provided that:
1) The outbound clearance is qualified by “Release Subject Your Discretion” together with details of the conflicting traffic and
2) The release message on the inbound aircraft, or full details of the overflying traffic, have already been passed
An RSYD restriction is intended to facilitate the overall expedition of traffic where Approach Control procedures may offer a more expeditious resolution of the confliction than Area Control procedures. It is the responsibility of the approach controller to determine whether he can provide the required separation in order to clear the outbound aircraft for departure. Before the outbound aircraft is transferred to Area Control, all conflictions must have been resolved or coordination effected.
