Procedure for the request of rescue protection level and fire fighting category on demand

An operator wishing to operate at Granada/Federico Garcia Lorca GranadaJaén Airport with an aircraft of category ICAO-SSEI higher than 7 shall apply to the airport, as far in advance as possible, via email at:Grx.Operaciones@aena.es, indicating the scheduled date and time of arrival and the aircraft model.

Operating instructions

1. Movement Area Operations Procedure. This describes the actions for proper coordination of all individuals and units necessary for the ground movement and parking of aircraft and restrictions in the apron, following the safety protocols in the same.
   Manoeuvres of 180º turns on the runway will not be cleared. To access the thresholds from the runway itself, aircraft must vacate the latter via the rapid exit taxiway and access it again via the corresponding runway-holding position.
2. Procedures for code letter 4D and 4E aircraft.
   In order for a code letter D or E aircraft to operate, a prior request from the Airline or Handling Agent and an explicit authorization by the Airport Operations Center are mandatory. The request must be submitted at least 72 HR before the planned date via email to Grx.CECOA@aena.es
   To ensure that appropriate safety distances are maintained whenever there is an aircraft standing at holding positions E2 or E5, and it is necessary for another aircraft to cross from behind to reach holding positions E1 or E6, the following limitation is mandatory: simultaneous use of E1-E2 and E5-E6 is only allowed whenever code letter 4C or lower aircraft are involved.
   Code letter 4E aircraft and model B767-400 and MD-11, aircraft may only use TWY E2 and E5. For the ACFT A330-300, A340-600, A350-1000, B747-400, B777-300 and MD-11, families, the “oversteer“ manoeuvre must additionally be performed. Only one code letter 4E aircraft shall be permitted to taxi within the manoeuvring area.
   The only PRKG available for code letter 4E aircraft is PRKG 1. For code letter 4D aircraft, the only available PRKG are PRKG 1 and PRKG 7D. The pilot must pay attention to the indications of the follow me (“FOLLOW ME” vehicles) in order to correctly position the aircraft.

Restrictions on aircraft stands

During the use of PRKG 1, 7D, 10 and 11, PRKG 1A and 1B, 3H, 6H, 7 and 7H ,10A and 10B, 11A and 11B (respectively) are unserviceable.

The use of any of the latter disables its corresponding main stand.

The taxiing of code letter 4E aircraft on the apron is incompatible with the stands located in the last line of each block, the following stands being unavailable during such a manoeuvre: PRKG 0, 3, 3H, 6H and 9.

B767-400 aircraft access to PRKG 1 is incompatible with PRKG 3, which becomes unserviceable. In turn, the exit of B767-400 aircraft from PRKG 1 is incompatible with PRKG 0, as it is unserviceable during said manoeuvre.

Entry to and exit from PRKG 7D are incompatible with aircraft taxiing on the adjacent taxiways.

Ground movement

Upon arrival at the handover points (T1 or T2), aircraft shall wait for the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle, in order to proceed to the assigned stand, reporting "FOLLOW ME in sight” to TWR.

All ground movements of aircraft, towed aircraft, persons and vehicles in the manoeuvring area are subject to prior ATC clearance.

All movements of aircraft, towed aircraft, persons and vehicles on the apron shall be regulated by the Apron Safety Regulations.

Avoidance of collisions with other aircraft or obstacles is the responsibility of:
1) Pilots, when taxiing on the apron.
2) Ground handling companies during push-back or exit from stand manoeuvres, and during towing.

Helicopter operation

1- For the operation of helicopters which hold no letter of exemption under the terms laid down in article 4 of the SERA.

Since there is no other specific area to operate with helicopters, these will receive the same treatment as fixed-wing aircraft and will be authorized by ATC to take off and land on the runway.

RWY 09 in use:

RWY 09 in use:

• Departures: Helicopters will carry out taxiing either by air or on the ground (as appropriate) via TWY T1 up to THR 09 and perform the takeoff manoeuvre on the runway.
• Arrivals: Helicopters will complete the final approach to the runway and will vacate it via the rapid exit E4 conducting taxiing either by air or on the ground, as appropriate, up to the apron via TWY T2.

RWY 27 in use:

• Departures: Helicopters will carry out taxiing by air or on the ground (as appropriate) via TWY T2 up to THR 27 and perform the take-off manoeuvre on the runway.
• Arrivals: Helicopters will complete the final approach to the runway and will vacate it via rapid exit E3 conducting taxiing by air or on the ground, as appropriate, up to the apron via TWY T1.

Once on the apron, taxiing either by air or on the ground will be carried out via the access taxiway to the aircraft stand, following the alignment signaled by its centre line marking for both arrival and departure.

Although helicopters will usually be authorized to leave or enter RWY 09/27 as indicated above, these procedures may be modified when required by the pilot for reasons of wind, or by ATC due to operational reasons.

2- For operating helicopters with a letter of exemption, under the terms prescribed in article 4 of the Standard European Rules of the Air (SERA): whenever a special operation is going to be performed as a result of an urgency or emergency, Air Traffic Control (ATC) must be contacted to receive information about how to apply the procedure in these cases.

3- Simultaneous entry and/or exit for stands 3H and 6H is restricted.

Business and General Aviation

It is mandatory to contract the service of a handling agent for the following operations:

1. Flights with origin and/or destination in Non-Schengen countries.
2. Flights with origin at an aerodrome which does not apply the departure security measures provided for in the Regulation (EU) 300/2008, throughout the operational hours.
3. Aircraft with wingspans and/or lengths greater than 14 m (which would involve the use of parking on the commercial aviation apron, with access on foot not permissible for safety reasons), or in situations of saturation of the general aviation apron (users may be offered the possibility of parking on the commercial aviation apron).
4. Departing Flights (except for crew with valid airport accreditation).

Exemption for domestic fligths: State, hospital, SAR, military, humanitarian and fire fighting flights.

During arrivals, passengers and flight crew shall wait on board the aircraft for ground handling staff to arrive.

During departures, they shall contact their ground handling agent for transfer to the aircraft.

At the very least, a Category 5 ramp must be hired: Aircraft assistance. Additionally, whenever there are passengers whose arrival or destination is a NON-Schengen airport, a Category 1 Ground-based administrative assistance and supervision ramp must be hired.

Once the contracted service has been confirmed, the ground handling company's shall be mentioned in Field 18 of flight plan

The handling service is recommended to be booked at least 24 HR prior to the scheduled arrival or departure of the flight.

Aircraft parking in the General Aviation Area shall remain anchored and chocked. For this reason, general aviation operators must have chocks and tooling to secure aircraft to the anchorages provided at each parking.

In order to comply with the Regulation (EU) 2016/399 for this kind of flight, the commander shall send information about the identity of the passengers to the border police at the following e-mail addresses: granada.pfaextdoc@policia.es and gr-cmd-granada-aeropuerto@guardiacivil.org

Operational safety reports

The pilots/company shall report to the airport as soon as possible, any accident, incident and occurrence or event that may potentially affect operational safety, either as involved parties or witnesses.
