LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

Aerodrome closed to aircraft without radiocommunications.

Control service is not provided at La Gomera airport. See AFIS procedures at ENR 1.5 and AD 1.1.

Microlight operations are not allowed.

Aircraft operating at AFIS aerodromes and in their associated FIZ, shall operate in accordance with a flight plan and shall be equipped for two way radiocommunications.

MINIMUM RUNWAY OCCUPANCY TIME

ARRIVALS

To minimise the runway occupancy time and the possibility of "go-around", pilots are reminded:

To vacate the runway rapidly and at the highest possible speed without prejudice to safety.
To vacate the runway completely before halting.

DEPARTURES

Pilots shall be ready for departure when they reach the runway holding position.

TAKE-OFF FROM INTERSECTION

Take-off operations are allowed from RWY 09/27 intersection with TWY A. (See distances at item 13).

Aircraft shall, preferably, request permission at the same time that clearance to start-up.

HANDLING SERVICE TO GENERAL AND BUSINESS AVIATION

All general and business aviation operations require the mandatory provision/hiring of handling services (see Item 4) except:

-All aircraft due to its wingspan (Max 13.54 m), could be parked in the PRKG 4 and 5 of General and Sport Aviation.

At the arrival operations, before unloading, passengers and crew must wait for the arrival of their handling agent.

PERSONNEL MOVEMENT IN APRON

Movements on foot in apron will be always made via marked pedestrian paths, or in a vehicle of authorized handling agent.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY REPORTS

Pilots/operator shall report to the airport as soon as possible about any accidents, incidents, occurrences or events which may have a potential operational impact and in which they have been involved or witnessed.

The aim of these reports is the compilation of the 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 implicated.
Description of the facts.
Any other data considered relevant (e.g. lighting conditions, weather, phase of the operation such as takeoff / landing / stopover, pavement conditions…).

Contact e-mail address of the airport, for the reception of operational safety reports, is the following:

Seguridad_Operacional_QGZ@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).

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

No.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are not available at La Gomera airport.

AD TRAFFIC CIRCUIT

profile

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Presence of birds (partridges, seagulls, pigeons and others) on runway and overflying. More probably seagulls when raining or with runway wet.

WIND PHENOMENA

Orographic conditions on the island of La Gomera and the airport situation favour the appearance, in determined circumstances, of windshear and turbulence phenomena:

Occasionally anemometer readings THR 09 and 27 differs from what is detected in short final approach. There is a third anemometer in the middle point which reading is available.
Intense trade winds may generate turbulence on RWY 27 approach.
Gentle winds may generate sudden changes in wind direction on RWY 09.
Hillside gentle winds may generate turbulence in the middle of the runway.
With W gentle winds may occur that the central anemometer and wind reading are opposite from the one in the operating headway, this causes turbulence and windshear in the runway. In that case the middle point anemometer reading can be useful.

With gentle winds (5 kt-6 kt) can appear the windshear and turbulence phenomena described above.

Likewise, it is recommended that aircraft crew have a basic level of recent experience in the airport.

It is not recommended to approach with directional winds between 300º and 060º (hillside winds) and sustained winds with intensities greater than 15 kt or wind gusts exceeding 20 kt.
