Arrival and tracking – From the North

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.
