PROCEDURE AIRCRAFT 4E OPERATION
GENERAL
The risk analysis conducted certifies that Almeria Airport sufficiently guarantees the operational safety level required for the operation of code letter 4E aircraft.
For a code letter 4E aircraft to operate, a request must be made by the Airline or Handling Agent, and explicit clearance from the Airport Operations Centre must be received.
STAND
PRKG 20 has been established for code letter 4E aircraft.
GROUND MOVEMENT
A) Arrival
- Vacate RWY via TWY S1 or S4 (depending on the runway in use), taxiing via parallel TWY T until GATE B to access the apron, where aircraft shall await the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle to be guided to the stand.
B) Departure
- Departure from the apron via GATE B, taxiing up to RWY via TWY T until S1 or S4 (depending on the runway in use).
- In low visibility conditions, for departures from RWY 25, the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle shall guide the aircraft to the threshold.
RESTRICTIONS
TWY S4 and T3 do not comply with the taxiway strip width requirement for code letter 4E aircraft (40.5 m from the centre line, instead of 43.5 m recommended for code letter 4E aircraft).
HELICOPTER OPERATIONS
At Almería Airport the helicopters will have the same treatment as fixed-wing aircraft and will be authorised by ATC to take off and land, from/to RWY 07/25.
Exceptionally, for situations with wind greater than or equal to 10 kt, ATC, at the request of the crew, will may authorize helicopter takeoffs and landings from the TWY T2.
Crews that need will be should contact ATC to receive operating instructions in accordance with the local procedure.
NIGHT VISUAL OPERATIONS (VFR-N)
VFR-N flights are permitted.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY REPORTS
Pilots/operators shall report to the airport as soon as possible regarding any accidents, incidents, occurrences or events that may have a potential operational impact and in which they have been involved or witnessed.
The aim of these reports is the compilation of information in order to improve operational safety, independently of the compulsory report of the occurrence to the appropriate aeronautical authority. Data may be sent in any format, including at least the following information:
- Date and time.
- Site.
- Parties involved (data used to identify vehicles, aircraft...involved).
- Companies involved.
- Description of the facts.
- Any other data considered relevant (e.g. lighting conditions, weather, phase of the operation such as take-off / landing / stopover, pavement conditions, etc.).
The airport contact e-mail address for receiving operational safety reports is the following: Seguridad_Operacional_LEI@aena.es
In addition to notifying the airport by means of the indicated system, it is necessary to send at least basic data of the accident, incident, occurrence or event to the air traffic control service provider (ATC).
On the specific instance of safety reports related to the air traffic control service provider (manoeuvring area, flight phases and ATS airspace), they may be sent to the e-mail address: lecsdptosafetymg@enaire.es
SCHOOL, TRAINING AND TEST FLIGHTS
Only school or training flights with a V/Y/Z flight plan are permitted.
In general, Almería TWR will only accept 2 school and/or training flights simultaneously within its area of responsibility (TMA/CTR/ATZ).
All school, training and test operations require prior coordination with the airport operator via the following addresses: lei.operaciones@aena.es and leicecoa@aena.es.
They may also be restricted by ATC at the time of the operation, depending on the air traffic situation.
Commercial flights will have priority over school, training and test flights.
NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
No.
FLIGHT PROCEDURES
ATS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
It is used in the provision of the aerodrome control service to perform the following functions:
- supervision of the flight path of aircraft on final approach;
- supervision of the flight path of other aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome;
- establishment of separation, as defined in the RCA. section 4.6.7.3, between successive departing aircraft.
- Provision of navigation assistance to VFR flights.
- Better position information of aircraft under control;
- Supplementary information about other traffic;
- Information about any significant deviation of aircraft from what the corresponding air traffic control clearances may establish, including cleared routes and flight levels where necessary.
All the functions above will be suspended in the event of a simultaneous unavailability of Turrillas radar.
Likewise, the provision of functions b) and d) in the northern half of the ATZ, below 1800 ft AMSL, is not guaranteed.
In addition, to assist in keeping watch over the air traffic status, ATS surveillance systems may be used to provide the controller:
LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)
GENERAL
The RWY 07 and 25 are usable for take-offs under low visibility conditions (LVTO).
1.1 Surface low visibility procedures (LVP) shall apply when the minimum meteorological conditions are as follows:
- the runway-visual range (RVR) less than 550 m, or
- the general visibility in the manoeuvring area less than 800 m, for when the RVR is unavailable.
1.2 TWR,via ATIS/SIMA, shall inform pilots of the application of low visibility procedures.
1.3 For low visibility take-offs (LVTO) with a runway visual range lower than 125 m (RVR<125m), the aircraft operator may decide whether to take off or not, based on its procedures.
GROUND MOVEMENT
Pilots shall proceed to verify the aircraft position at all times, checking that taxiing is being executed under complete safety conditions.
Arrivals:
2.1.1 Aircraft that have landed shall report:
- Runway vacated and
- Exit taxiway authorised.
2.1.2 At the apron entry, aircraft must wait for the arrival of the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle to be guided to the assigned stand.
Departures:
2.2.1 To establish the best transit sequence, pilots must not request clearance for engine start-up, push-back or taxiing when the meteorological visibility is below the operational minima.
2.2.2 In those cases where the RVR is less than 550 m (or the visibility is less than 800 m in the event of failure of all transmissometers), only one aircraft will be cleared for taxiing in the Manoeuvring Area at a time.
2.2.3 For LVTO with RVR<125 m, the aircraft operator may decide whether to take off or not, based on its procedures. If taking off, it shall be compulsory for the aircraft to taxi guided by a “FOLLOW ME” vehicle from its parking stand on the apron and on the taxiway until the holding position of the runway in service.
Aircraft which need to vacate the runway with RVR less than 125 m.
Aircraft which need to vacate the runway when the RVR less than 125 m shall hold once they have vacated the runway and completely reached the parallel taxiway, and shall await the arrival of the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle which will guide them to their stand on the apron
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE AND ANOMALOUS SITUATIONS IN MANOEUVRING AREA.
Communications failure.
Whenever an aircraft or a vehicle operating in the manoeuvring area experiences a communication failure, it shall proceed as follows:
Departing aircraft:
- The aircraft must continue by the assigned route to the ATC clearance limit, taking extreme caution, where it must hold the position and await the arrival of a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle for guidance to the designated stand.
Arrival aircraft:
- If the aircraft has just landed, maintain position once the runway has been vacated completely and await the arrival of a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle for guidance to the designated stand.
- If the aircraft had an ATC taxi clearance, it must continue on the assigned route, if any, to the limit of the ATC clearance, taking extreme caution, where it must hold position and await the arrival of a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle for guidance to the designated stand.
Vehicle:
- The vehicle shall vacate the runway, taxiways or any other area in the manoeuvring area where it may be (provided that the driver is certain it can be done and is in no way disoriented) and then stop the vehicle, holding the position and awaiting the arrival of a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle or assistance resources.
Anomalous situations:
- If a pilot is in doubt about the position of the aircraft relative to the manoeuvring area, the pilot shall stop the aircraft immediately and notify ATC of this situation (including the last known position).
- In situations where the pilot is in doubt about the position of the aircraft relative to the manoeuvring area, but recognises that the aircraft is on a runway, the pilot shall immediately notify ATC (including the last known position), vacating the runway if able to locate an appropriate taxiway nearby as soon as possible, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, and then stop the aircraft. If the pilot is unable to locate an exit taxiway, ATC shall be notified immediately.
- In case of disorientation of a vehicle in the manoeuvring area, ATC must be notified (including the last known position) and, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, vacate the manoeuvring area to get away to a safe distance, as soon as possible, and stop the vehicle awaiting assistance. In case of failure, if possible, the same procedure shall be followed. If the vehicle cannot move, ATC must be notified without delay.
- In case of a loss of visual contact between one aircraft and another, or with a vehicle with its own separation, ATC shall be notified immediately and the aircraft shall stop.
VISUAL DEPARTURE PROCEDURES FOR IFR FLIGHTS
IFR flights may request ATC for “visual departure” on ground or in the air under the following conditions:
- Between the start of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight.
- Weather conditions in the direction of the take-off and subsequent initial climb that permit the visual flight until the MSA, which shall be provided by ATC.
- In the air, the pilot shall propose to ATC a heading or a direct course.
- On the ground, the pilot shall propose to ATC a heading or a point, or ATC shall propose a visual departure subject to the pilot's consent and readback.
- The pilot shall be responsible for maintaining obstacle clearance until the MSA.
If visual departures are applied due to the inability to use the published SID and contingency departures, the noise abatement procedures described in AIP LEAM AD-2 Item 21 “Noise Abatement Procedures” shall no longer be applied.
CONTINUOUS DESCENT OPERATIONS
Depending on traffic conditions, and provided that it is not envisaged that it will be necessary to interrupt a descent, aircraft shall be cleared to proceed by a standard arrival (STAR) or by means of a “direct” type clearance, to an intermediate fix of the STAR, to the IAF, to an intermediate approach fix or to the IF, at the minimum altitude of the IAF or the IF of the instrument procedure (IAC) or the minimum ATC surveillance altitude of the sectors through which the direct route passes, whichever is the higher, so that the descent operation may be accomplished continuously.
