Terminal Airspace Sectors
FAC YSSY 15.4 · designated to reduce FREQ congestion. Each sector is a geographically defined area with its own lateral and vertical limits.

Only the CBD and Northern Beaches notes carry the leave-and-re-enter-CTA wording; the other three say operate within the lateral boundaries only. All five cite CASR 91.265(4)(g) and 91.267(3)(j).

HELI ROUTES
CTA STEPS
Heli routes are approximate. The FAC describes them by naming landmarks (Ben Buckler, Moore Park Supa Centre), not coordinates, so these are geocoded from OpenStreetMap and are a sketch of the track, not a published one. The Novotel at Sydney International is unresolved, so Rosehill 5 stops at Canterbury Racecourse. Hospital and aerodrome pads marked from OurAirports are likewise unofficial. Steps: DAH 09 JUL 2026, lateral limits as published (arcs expanded on WGS84). Harbour/coast boundary segments named but undefined in the DAH are drawn straight between their endpoints. Coastline is Natural Earth 10m, schematic. Runway strips are drawn from published thresholds, cross-checked against the FAC bearings (they agree within ~1 deg); YSWS is not yet in any threshold dataset so its strip is derived from the ARP, the FAC bearing 047M and the 3700M length on DAP SWSAD01. Bearings magnetic (VAR 13E).
