UAAH AD 2.22 Flight Procedures
1. Flight and ground movement procedures.
Commencement of the low visibility procedures shall be passed to all interested persons and services via radio or loudspeaker communication by air traffic controller phrase: “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION”.
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are effected when RVR is less than 400 m.
Tower controller managing the movement of aircraft on the airfield in low visibility conditions is responsible for the information on the relative positions of aircraft.
Tower controller gives clearance for departure only if it has reliable information about the absence of obstructions on the runway. Taxiing of the aircraft along the apron during low visibility conditions shall be carried out:
- with the utmost discretion, at speed, to ensure safe aircraft stop;
- from stands to holding position after follow-me car.
The control of vehicle traffic during the operation of the aerodrome in low visibility conditions is carried out in accordance with the rules of conducting radio communication with all parties, organizes and supervises the execution of works on the airfield, as well as the drivers of vehicles and aerodrome facilities.
Persons carrying out such work, as well as the drivers of vehicles and aerodrome facilities must:
- maintain a continuous common aerodrome frequency within the aerodrome;
- when working on the airstrip, taxiway areas adjacent to it and the platform, constantly listen to the radio at a frequency of “Tower” Control centre;
- conduct all movement on the road and airport facilities with the utmost discretion.
Listening of common aerodrome frequency is made for receiving instructions on the order of movement on the airfield and traffic information of ground vehicles and aircraft in low visibility conditions.
The interaction between Aerodrome aviation security service and ATM service of RC “Balkhash”. During the flight (for take-offs and landings) in the daytime in conditions of low visibility and at night, inspection of the out of Tower controller’s sight sections of the runway makes using a special vehicle, having radio- and lightning equipment for the absence of obstacles and the suitability of the airfield to fly. Report on the completion and results of the inspection, “The RWY is clear (occupied), the airfield is suitable (unsuitable) for flight” - made after the liberation of the strip, no later than 5 minutes prior to the estimated (adjusted) landing time or just before take-off.
Helicopter take-off and landing shall be carried out from/to RWY, from/to landing pad military unit 53898, and from/to intersection of TWY 2 and MTWY.
2. VFR procedures within the aerodrome control zone (CTR)
Air traffic service in the control zone of the aerodrome is carried out by the controller of the “Tower” ATC unit. Flight altitudes are calculated by the aircraft crew in accordance with the Civil Aviation Flight Rules of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The functions of Air traffic service does not include ground collision avoidance. The aircraft crew shall ensure that the clearance issued by the ATS unit in this regard is safe. VFR flights at altitudes below 4000 feet in the control zone are performed at the altitudes indicated in the flight plan or requested by the aircraft crew.
Flights must not be performed over populated areas within the control zone.
For VFR flights, the aerodrome has a flight circle (left / right) at an altitude of 3000 feet. The air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit is determine and report which flight circle is in use.
Entering the flight circle, crossing the runway alignment is made only with the permission of the air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit.
The aircraft crew preliminarily agrees with the ATS unit the flight area and altitude range during aerial work in the control zone at absolute altitudes.
When entering the control zone (CTR) from uncontrolled airspace, the aircraft crew must obtain an air traffic control clearance 5 minutes before the estimated time of entering the controlled airspace.
Entry / exit of aircraft of category A and helicopters flying in VFR to / from the control zone (CTR) is carried out at the shortest distance through the corresponding point.
If the air situation requires the holding procedure, the air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit gives the instructions to the aircraft crew to follow to one of the holding points.
