LOCAL REGULATIONS
Maximum aircraft allowed on the infrastructure, ATR42. Maximum helicopter allowed, A139.
Aircraft with a wingspan higher than 17 m may only taxi via the taxiway on apron N, accessing PRKG 21-23 by GATE B. TWY W and G are limited to C550 and PC24 maximum aircraft respectively.
Helicopters may accomplish both air and ground-taxiing on the aerodrome taxiways. Helicopters with a rotor blade diameter larger than 13 m may only accomplish air-taxiing via apron taxiways E and N. On N air-taxiing may only take place to access PRKG 21 and 22. Helicopters with a rotor blade diameter larger than 12.46 m cannot accomplish air-taxiing via TWY W and G. TWY I is exclusive for helicopter use and is limited to H146.
Helicopters accessing PRKG 21 and 22 must taxi by TWY N, accessing through GATE B.
Helicopter air-taxiing to access PRKG 31-32, 40-42 and 44 must be accomplished via TWY M, being access prohibited from TWY N.
To access the fuelling area, hangar D1 and PRKG 44, visual reference points are available on TWY N and W where aircraft accessing this area will have to stop. See more details on subparagraphs Public Use Operations or Restricted Use Operations, as applicable.
With aircraft PC24 leaving the fuelling area, no taxiing of helicopters from/to PRKG 44 can take place. However, no impact exists to exit the fuelling area for aircraft parked on the C172 area. With aircraft in the refueling area, aircraft bound to or from hangar D1 cannot circulate via TWY G.
Aircraft on ground-taxiing accessing this area may do so via any of the two points. However, helicopters on air-taxiing may only access from the point located on W.
Gravity fuelling in the fuelling area for maximum aircraft PC24. Aircraft up to size C172 will park on the marked position parallel to the fuel tanks. Aircraft over that size, up to PC24, will park on the marked position perpendicular to the fuel tanks. Helicopters (skids) with a rotor blade up to 12.46 m will park on the PC24 spot.
Helicopters with a rotor blade diameter higher than 13 m, which need to access the hangar zone and are lacking wheels for ground taxi, shall be towed through apron taxiway S up to the corresponding hangar.
OPERATIONAL MINIMA
At the AD, VFR flight operations will be conducted under VMC.
At the AD, RNAV1 instrument departure operations will be conducted with visibility 1300 m from the threshold.
At the AD, RNP approach instrument operations will be conducted with visibility 7.8 km and cloud ceiling 2200 ft.
Operating with snow, slush, frost or ice on the runway is prohibited.
Take extreme care with winds of more than 20 kt.
ULM with crosswinds greater than 20 kt operations are prohibited
Specific approval of the operator is required for flying instrument manoeuvres.
ACCEPTANCE OF AIRLINES
Air carriers seeking to operate commercially in the infrastructure must request the airport manager’s approval according to the internal procedure by sending an email to: operacions@lesu.cat
RESTRICTED USE OPERATION
Radio equipment is required to operate on the AD.
The provisions specified in SERA.4001, item b), point 3, shall apply with regard to the submission of flight plans.
Aircraft using the AD are obliged to have adequate equipment in order to monitor frequency 122.205 C for self-control. On that same frequency they shall transmit their intentions and their evolution through the different phases of the flight, in order to provide other aerodrome traffic with information that shall aid in keeping own separation if required.
The Operations Centre of Andorra-La Seu d’Urgell AD may offer orientation on apron occupancy, provide refuelling services and further information of interest. Contact on frequency 131.605 C after runway is vacated.
No aeronautical station shall provide any type of aerodrome information on frequency 122.205 C.
On TWY N the visual reference point is the identification horizontal marking to access PRKG I, and on TWY W the EPL (equipment parking area marking) perpendicular to TWY W which limits PRKG K. In case of air-taxiing, the DGPEIS group will access from TWY W. Contact with 122.205 C must take place to inform about intentions.
PUBLIC USE OPERATION VFRN
AFIS provision hours shall be published by NOTAM. Consult NOTAM and SNOWTAM in force before operating on the infrastructure. NOTAM will be published with minimum advance notice of 18 HR. In any case contact with TWR will be established before entry on FIZ.
The night-time use of the LESU airport is only for commercial operation during public use and is incompatible with the night-time use of the H24 heliport. Both infrastructures cannot be operational at the same time. The coordination between both infrastructures shall be carried out via the email address:operacions@lesu.cat At night-time, only the following may be used: GATE B, taxiways C and B to enter and exit the runway, and it shall be compulsory to use a radio altimeter and the commercial operator has previous experience operating during daytime use.
The following radio altimeter notification points are established in the VFRN: 421957.62N and 0012606.38E; 422106.78N and 0012720.15E.
To operate in the FIZ, when activated, it is compulsory to file a flight plan and to carry radio equipment on board.
The movement of persons or vehicles, including aircraft being towed within the movement area, is subject to advance clearance from the AFIS personnel on duty at the AFIS unit.
Pilots wishing to accomplish taxi service or passenger commercial transport flights must request the activation of public use aerodrome at least 24 HR in advance of the estimated hour of operation, by means of an electronic mail to operacions@lesu.cat and telephonic acknowledgement to:
- TEL: +34-973 355 324.
The request to carry out commercial operations must be submitted within the airport's published operating hours so that operations may receive and accept it. The request must contain the following information:
- Flight number.
- Flight class.
- Ground handling service contracted.
- Aircraft type.
- Scheduled dates and times.
- Level of RFFS protection required.
Operations will make the necessary communications to confirm the provision of necessary services for the operation in public use and issue the corresponding NOTAM. Once this has been done, they will notify the applicant of the authorisation by the same means by which the request was received. The operation will not be considered authorised if not expressly confirmed by airport operations. The hiring of ground handling services authorised by the airport is mandatory for commercial operations.
The movement of persons or vehicles, including aircraft being towed within the movement area, is subject to advance clearance from the AFIS personnel on duty at the AFIS unit.
ULM operating during public use must satisfy the following requirements:
- Operate with radio which guarantees bidirectional communications.
- Submit FPL.
- Know how to use the radio equipment.
- Know and understand aeronautical phraseology.
During public use operation PRKG 11 to 17, 21 to 23 are reserved for the parking of passenger commercial transport and air taxi aircraft.
On TWY N the visual reference point is the identification horizontal marking to access PRKG I, and on TWY W the EPL (equipment parking area marking) perpendicular to TWY W which limits PRKG K. In case of air-taxiing, the DGPEIS group will access from TWY W. Contact with AFIS must take place on these points.
Access to PRKG H, I and K by general aviation on the apron, shall only take place through TWY M. Traffic of aircraft via TWY M is not allowed during autonomous exit from PRKG 21 to 23. While helicopters are turning in PRKG 21 and 22, aircraft may not circulate via TWY M.
