UATE AD 2.22 Flight Procedures
1. General
RWY 11/29 approved for CAT I operations.
2. Low Visibility Procedures.
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are effected when RVR is less than 550 m. Low Visibility Procedures are cancelled when RVR is 550 m. and greater. The start of LVP procedures is reported to flight crew by ATC with the following phrase:: “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION”.
Control of obstacles presence on RWY and in ILS critical zones is carried out by air traffic controller according to the reports of flight crew or aerodrome service specialist reports.
The ATC informs flight crew about:
- any changes in the operational status of radio and lighting equipment;
- changes of surface wind;
- changes of RVR;
- changes of ceiling (vertical visibility).
3. Arriving Aircraft
Vacation of runway shall be reported on TWY only when passing of critical zone.
Aircraft parking shall be carried out by signals of marshalling person.
4. Departing Aircraft
Aircraft shall stop at the holding position before the light sign of runway designation.
5. 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 3000 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 500 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.

6. Continuous Descent Operation
- CDOs are performed during periods of low traffic density at ATC discretion.
- CDOs are executed only by ACFT that use standard arrival procedures RNAV1 based on GNSS.
- Although these procedures are designed as a closed path, they permit distance planning for CDO, allowing the ACFT Flight Management System/Computer (FMS/FMC) to accurately execute automated optimized descents when:
- ACFT is cleared to proceed to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints in order to provide an optimum lateral flight path up to and including the FAP and thus the exact distance to the RWY is known prior to start of the continuous descent operation; or
- the pilots of the ACFT that to be vectored to final are provided with distance-to-go information.
- CDOs are authorized only when following conditions are respected:
- ILS of RWY intended for landing is in operation;
- no adverse weather conditions that may affect CDO;
- no system degradations that may affect GNSS or ILS operation.
- After receiving “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL)” or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” clearance the pilot is allowed to plan/optimize vertical profile in order to apply CDO to FAP.
- Depending on traffic, CDO may start from TOD or lower levels.
- In accordance with appropriate ATC clearances, CDO can start from the TOD when ACFT is cleared to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints for direct routing/shortcut and the horizontal trajectory is defined up to and including the FAP. Thus, the exact distance to RWY is known and the descent profile can be readily calculated by the appropriate on board system (FMS) prior to start of the CDO.
- After clearance “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL) " or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” pilot should maintain the cruising/last assigned level until the optimal descent point/TOD that is determined by pilot or FMS, then start descent with no extra requests unless other ATC instructions are issued.
- If necessary ATC may issue additional instructions: “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL), REPORT LEAVING (or REPORT TOP-OF-DESCENT)”
- Considering airspace structure, ATC issues an instruction to descend to level(s) above level of FAP. Wherein ATC issues further descent instruction prior to CDO flight reaching 3000 feet (900 m) above last assigned level.
- It is preferable if CDO is commenced from top of descent. If it is not feasible due to traffic, CDO may be initiated from any lower level.
- As a portion of the procedure consists of vectoring, the specific distance to RWY threshold is not known to a pilot prior to start of the CDO. In such cases, ATC will provide the pilot with an estimate of the flight track-miles to the RWY threshold as distance-to-go information. The pilot will use this information to determine the optimum descent rate to achieve a CDO.
- ACFT not exceed IAS 220 knots closer 15 n.m. to RW threshold.
7. Continuous Climb Operation
Continuous Climb Operations (CCO) are conducted along standard instrument departure routes (SID RNAV1) using GNSS. The feasibility of CCO is determined by the ATC based on the current air traffic situation and operational traffic density.

2. The bird aggregations in the vicinity of the airport.
Intensive flights of flocks of pigeons, sparrows and gulls occur periodically within 1-2 hours before and after sunrise, when birds fly from their resting place (from the sea west of the runway) across the runway through the approach zone of runway 11 and runway 29 to the feeding areas. The altitude of the bird flights is changing within from 0 to 400 m. above ground level. The main directions of migration are from south to north and in the opposite direction. In winter, a small number of crow flocks gather around the aerodrome and at the aerodrome, representing a danger to flights from sunrise to sunset.
As required, the aerodrome control unit informs pilots of such migrations of birds. Upon receipt of such information, pilots are recommended, if the calculated characteristics of the onboard equipment allow, to switch on landing lights when flying around the aerodrome, during take-off, approach, as well as climbing and descending.
Measures for reducing the bird aggregations include: periodic scaring of birds (noise gun, bioacoustic equipments), effective measures against the garbage dumps, removal of grass cover, as well as the termination of agricultural activities within the airport.
