Lecture 2 Flashcards
Noise abatement for 26
RWY Heading @ max Climb to 1000ft AAL, then turn to avoid Exeter City Centre
Noise abatement for 08
Max Climb to 1500ft AAL before turning
Noise abatement for AC in the circuit or visual approaches
- Jet aircraft shall not join the final approach at a height of less than 1500 ft aal.
- Propeller driven aircraft whose MTWA exceeds 5700 kg shall not join the final approach at a height of less than 1000 ft aal.
- Aircraft flying a visual approach should intercept the final approach track at a level not less than that equivalent to a 3.5°glide path at the intercept range. Final approach should be flown at not less than a
nominal 3.5° glide path.
CTOT Toleracne
- 5 mins
+ 10 mins
What information shall be passed to a pilot before taxi?
- Runway in use;
- Surface wind direction and speed, including significant variations;
- Aerodrome QNH;
- Outside air temperature (turbine-engine aircraft only);
- Significant meteorological conditions, e.g. RVR or marked temperature inversion.
Info known to have been received by the pilot may be omitted
Coordination between ADC to APC
ADC shall co-ordinate with the appropriate APS:
- The runway in use,
- Departing IFR and VFR flights,
- Airborne times (Necessary in order to achieve identification on departure)
- Arriving aircraft which make their first call on the tower frequency (unless they are transferred to the appropriate APS),
- Departures from landing sites in the vicinity of the ATZ which make their first call on the tower frequency e.g. Police helicopter, hot air balloons etc.
- Aircraft that may fly larger and/or higher than normal circuits.
At times it is necessary for ADC to require APS to provide a larger gap in the landing
sequence to enable aircraft to backtrack from Bravo or meet CTOT times etc
Coordination between APC to ADC
Approach/Radar controller shall co-ordinate with Aerodrome Control:
- Aircraft approaching to land, requesting clearance if necessary. APS will advise ADC before inbound aircraft reach a range of 10nm stating a clear landing order,
- arriving aircraft which are cleared to visual holding points,
- aircraft routing through, or close to, the ATZ (i.e. within 5nm of the ARP at 2500ft or below).
Fuel Pumps
What are the restrictions at the pumps for FW?
Wingspan not exceeding 15m and max 3 AC at a time.
Certain prop AC use JETA1 so shall not be directed to the pumps (DA42)
Large piston AC (Lancaster + DC3) will park on TWY C and block it to refuel.
Fuel Pumps
What are the helicopter procedures for the pumps?
ONLY LIGHT HELICOPTERS
Specific parking spot for helicopters, they can only use it if there are no other AC at the pumps.
Helicopters must approach from the NE, land and park facing WEST.
Pilots must ensure rotor blades are aligned with fuselage or positioned not to infringe TWY C.
Helicopter Procedures
HEMS & UKP
They will advise when starting up and provide their DEST.
May departed in any direction including under AC in the circuit.
Controllers responsibility to ensure AC do not conflict with RW’s while on TWY F.
Arriving from the N shall use the RWY, from the S can go direct to land site.
Helicopter Procedures
Normal Helicopters
Light Helicopters may depart after a H, M (U & L) or S AC has taken off or landed provided they can avoid the wake of the AC and are given instructions to do so.
Helicopters inbound to the south side of the airfield are to arrive and depart via the runway in use.
Helicopters with wheels shall be cleared to land on the runway and ground taxi to the parking position. Helicopters with skids shall air taxi via taxiways to the parking position.
Outbound helicopters on the south side of the airfield shall be routed to the runway in use via an appropriate taxiway and holding point.
Light helicopters parked by Apron 24 may be routed to the runway intersection and vice versa via Holding Point D1.
As the main rotor creates downwash, controllers are to exercise caution when taxiing helicopters.
Helicopter training on grass areas is not permitted.
ROTORS RUNNING REFUEL
Specialist helicopters i.e. M.O.D. and SAR may carry out rotors running refuels. Guidance can be found in the Aerodrome Manual.
When should routine airfield inspections take place?
Aerodrome inspection - soon after first light
Lighting inspection - before night flying commences
RWY inspection - after an abandoned take off
For GRF, when shall ops do an inspection?
- At the onset of precipitation
- During, or immediately after, a period of increased intensity of precipitation,
- When a report from a pilot suggests a change of runway state from that reported,
- When requested by ATC,
- At regular intervals or when considered necessary by operations.
Engine runs on TWY B
Require the AC is not facing south so the Jet/Prop blast is not facing across the RWY.
TWY F Restrictons
Suitable for AC with a wheelbase of less than 7.5m and a wingspan of less than 15m.
