Departure and tracking – North-West

Air traffic control (ATC) may provide departure instructions tracking via geographic locations or a magnetic heading to help with separation or ATC flow management. Usually these may be Robina town centre (ROTC) or Burleigh Heads depending on traffic.

If unfamiliar with these locations, advise ATC.
