Question 1

What is the standard approach for Runway 07, and what specific phraseology should be used for arriving IFR flights on a Visual or VOR approach?

Answer 1

• Standard Approach: RNP, but it should not be assumed that an aircraft is capable of performing it.
• Phraseology for Visual/VOR Approach: “Callsign, caution Langford Lodge, contact Tower on 118.3.”

Note: Specific procedures are in place to reduce the risk of an aircraft landing at EGAL, with full details available in Mats pt.2.

Question 2

What is the standard separation applied for SVFR flights at EGAA, and how does it differ for military helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft?

Answer 2

Standard Separation: Applied between:

• IFR flights and Special VFR flights.
• Aircraft cleared for Special VFR flights.

At EGAA:

• Military Helicopters: Deemed separations are in place (refer to Mats pt.2).
• Fixed-Wing Aircraft: Not deemed separated at any point and require individual coordination.

Reference: Full details on the provision of SVFR flight can be found in MATS 1.

Question 3

Who is responsible for identifying departures from a runway at EGAA and for identifying helicopters?

Answer 3

• ADC: Identifies departures from a runway at EGAA.
• INT: Responsible for identifying helicopters.

Question 4

Who is responsible for validating Mode A for EGAA departures?

Answer 4

ADC is responsible for validating Mode A for EGAA departures.

Question 5

Who is responsible for verifying Mode C on departures from both EGAA and EGAC?

Answer 5

INT is responsible for verifying Mode C on departures from both EGAA and EGAC.

Question 6

Why is extra spacing required when sequencing arrivals towards Runway 17?

Answer 6

Extra spacing is required when sequencing arrivals towards Runway 17 due to potential fluctuations from preceding aircraft. This allows ADC to backtrack aircraft.

Question 7

What are Surveillance Radar Approaches (SRAs), and how are they typically conducted?

Answer 7

SRAs: Available for all runways, usually conducted by locally based aircraft for training.

Procedure:
* A clearance limit is coordinated with INT by phone before starting the approach.
* Landing clearance is requested using the LCIS.

Question 8

What happens to spacing between aircraft when Low Visibility Procedures (LVPs) are in force?

Answer 8

When LVPs are in force, the spacing between aircraft, as agreed between ADC and INT, will be increased to a minimum of 8nm during low cloud and up to 15nm during freezing fog.
