Yes
Is there any deemed geographical separations at TIA?
No
When would conflicting inbound a/c be transferred to ADC regarding SVFR?
Until ADC controller has the a/c in sight and can use one of the reduced separations in the vicinity of the aerodrome.
Until then they must be held outside CTA/CTR and onward clearance only issued with full co-ordination
What phrase is used for SVFR clearances which applies to the CTR only and not to the CTA?
Cleared to the control zone boundary
NOT
Cleared to leave controlled airspace
What height clearance will be given to VFR a/c departing TIA CTA/CTR?
1,500ft on QNH
When is the restriction of 1,500ft off ADC clearance lifted?
By prior coordination with APR
Or
Once the a/c is on the APR frequency
(However, ADC or APR May modify this agreement at any time if coordination warrant. Introducing circular flow for inbound a/c on 23 Sedgefield/Stokesley and outbound a/c MwayJunctions/Northallerton
Light a/c from hanger 3, will be given what on their first call? And where should they be positioned?
Departure/ATC clearance and once this is correctly acknowledged, the a/c will be given taxi instructions as normal procedures.
The light a/c should pull forward to the white line delineating the exit
When shall departing VFR traffic be passed to APR?
No later than the CTR/CTA boundary
When shall Inbound VFR a/c be transferred to ADC?
A point agreed between ADC and APR but usually is the CTR/CTA boundary.
Are VRP’s used after official night?

to enable radio equipped a/c operating with the CTR to land in the event of RT failure. And ATC be advised by telephone ASAP.
If a/c is outside CTA they should not enter if not been given a clearance unless a/c is experiencing any other emergency.
A/c must maintain VMC at all times within CTR/CTA and responsible for adequate separation from all a/c in or near their site.
TIA reserves the right to cancel or modify these agreements at any time.
