#### Adelaide Radar (AAR)
AAR is responsible for the provision of FIS in Class G airspace within the AD TMA. It is a role normally performed by the controller responsible for **AAE**. The position is designed to reduce the workload of other TMA positions by identifing and issuing clearance (where available) to aircraft OCTA, then transferring them to the relevant TMA controller.

## Local Procedures
### Scenic Coastal Flights
VFR aircraft may transit the control zone tracking coastal north or southbound, generally at `A005`. **AD TCU** is responsible for ensuring these aircraft remain separated from aircraft arriving/departing at YPAD and may delegate this responsibility to **AD ADC**.
