RNP APCH + VPT MANOEUVRE
With regard to the RNP APCH manoeuvre followed by the prescribed track section VPT, pilots are reminded that Lanzarote airport has topographical characteristics which require specific operational procedures and methods. Crew should become familiar with these before flying to GCRR. This provision is particularly important for pilots who are not familiar with this airport.
Likewise, special attention should be paid to the information published in Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC), about the characteristics and operation of RNP APCH+VPT manoeuvres. Moreover, for this particular manoeuvre, it is recommended that the EGPWS system should be available and active.
PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
Crews will be provided with information on the runway conditions according to the procedures applicable.
Take-offs from runway intersections are not permitted.
The access to runway-holding position for RWY 03 is located on TWY E4 while the runway-holding position for RWY 21 is located on TWY E1.

The use of chocks is mandatory.
There are anchor points at positions on the general aviation apron.
Turns of 180° shall not be performed in the stand. On the general aviation apron, the aircraft must be taken out to the taxiway with engines off or using powerback. On the commercial aviation apron, the standard published manoeuvre shall be used.
RESTRICTIONS TO STANDS
In the PRKG T1 to T7:
- Use of the 400 Hz current supply facilities is mandatory.
- The use of the air conditioning facilities is mandatory if the aircraft needs to be air-conditioned.
- The use of the aircraft APU is prohibited at these stands within the period between 2 minutes after blocks-on for arrivals and 5 minutes before off-blocks for departures.
- The aircraft APU may only be used when the 400 Hz current supply facilities or mobile units are non-operational, or when the air-conditioning service is required and the Aena air-conditioning equipment or handling agent mobile units are unavailable.
MINIMUM RUNWAY OCCUPANCY TIME
Departures:
ATC will consider that every aircraft at the holding position is able to commence line up on the runway and the take-off roll immediately after take-off clearance is issued. Pilots unable to comply with this requirement shall notify ATC before reaching the holding position.
GUIDANCE AND PARKING
Guidance and parking service assisted by a “FOLLOW ME” vehicle will be provided to all traffic during the operational hours of the airport, for access to the stands on the commercial aviation and general aviation aprons.
The allocation of stands will be made by the CEOPS unit, which will communicate this to the guidance and parking service assisted by a “FOLLOW ME” vehicle and ATC service.
The collection points by the TOAM for arriving aircraft, unless otherwise indicated by ATC, shall be:
- Intermediate holding position R4-2 for aircraft vacating runway via TWY E3, EM or E4.
- E2 holding position signal ("runway vacated") for aircraft vacating runway via this taxiway.
- Intermediate holding position on TWY R1 for aircraft vacating runway via TWY E1.
MODE S TRANSPONDER OPERATION WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS ON GROUND
In order to cooperate Advanced Surveillance System, aircraft operators intending to use Lanzarote airport shall ensure that the Mode S transponder is able to operate when the aircraft is on the ground.
Pilots shall:
- Select AUTO mode and assigned Mode A code.
- If AUTO mode is not available, select ON (e.g. XPDR) and assigned Mode A code:
- From the request for towed push-back or taxi, whichever is earlier.
- After landing, continuously until the aircraft is fully parked in its stand.
- When the aircraft is fully parked, they shall select STBY.
Whenever the aircraft is capable of reporting Aircraft Identification (e.g. callsign used in flight), this should also be entered (by means of the FMS or the Transponder Control Panel) from the request for towed push-back or taxi, whichever is earlier.
Air crew must use the ICAO defined format to enter the Aircraft Identification (e.g. NAY123,RSC630…).
In order to ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (including airborne TCAS units and SSR radar) is not affected, TCAS should not be selected before receiving the clearance to line-up and wait, and should be deselected after vacating the runway.
To carry out maintenance works on TCAS systems that require them to be on, they shall be conducted with prior coordination with the Airport. Aircraft taxiing without flight plan should select Mode A code 2000.
STANDARD TAXIING PROCEDURES
START-UP OF ENGINES/TURBINES
Note: This section uses abbreviations defined in ENR 1.5.
To avert the automatic cancellation of flight plans, the EOBT must be maintained up-to-date.
A. Permission to start up engines/turbines shall be requested on the frequency stated via ATIS or CLD message. When this permission is requested, the aircraft must be completely ready to start up immediately.
B. For requests by voice, pilots must indicate the full aircraft call sign to ATC, together with the stand occupied and the ATIS message received.
C. Start-up must be requested as follows:
- Aircraft without assigned CTOT: From 15 minutes before their EOBT until 15 minutes after their EOBT.
- Aircraft with assigned CTOT: From 20 minutes before their CTOT until 10 minutes before their CTOT.
- In order to better predict TTOT, ATC may instruct that start-up clearance be requested at a specific time.
- In periods of high demand, ATC may apply other values to ensure that flights comply with their Slot Tolerance Window.
D. Towed push-back manoeuvres will be accomplished according to AD 2-GCRR PDC, unless GMC advises otherwise.
E. Engine start-up at higher than idle power is prohibited at all stands in contact with the terminal until the aircraft is lined-up with the taxiway.
F. The use of reverse thrust or any manoeuvres other than towing to leave the stands that normally require the use of push-back, are prohibited without express clearance of from the ATC.
F1. PRKG 7 to 12, 13B and 13C are excluded from this rule, the use of reverse power allowed for ATR.
ATC CLEARANCE REQUEST AND START-UP VIA DATA LINK
Data Link departure procedures are applied at Lanzarote Airport in the provision of ATC clearance and start-up services. For more information on the DCL service, see AIP ENR 1.5, section 3. DEPARTING FLIGHTS, ATC clearance and start-up via data link (DCL).
In case of discrepancies, voice communications will always prevail over data link.
The pilot may request ATC clearance via DCL with a maximum advance of 30 minutes before their TOBT. Start-up approval together with ATC clearance shall be given, provided the parameters established in AD 2-GCRR, item 20, General Taxiing Procedures, 1.A and 1.C are met.
The pilot shall request ATC clearance and start-up simultaneously via RCD. The RCD message (Departure Clearance Request) shall contain the following data:
- Call sign according to the submitted flight plan (FPL).
- Departure aerodrome.
- Parking position.
- Destination aerodrome.
- Letter corresponding to the ATIS information received.
- ICAO aircraft type.
Any free text sent via the RCD by the pilot will not be considered by ATC. Special requests will always be made via voice communications.
- The pilot will receive a message of acceptance, “RCD RECEIVED”, or of rejection, “RCD REJECTED”. When an RCD message is received before the intervals established in AD 2-GCRR, item 20, General Taxiing Procedures 1.C, the RCD shall be accepted and a CLD with ATC clearance shall be sent, directing the flight crew to call when they are ready and according to their EOBT/CTOT.
When an RCD message is received within the intervals established in AD 2-GCRR, item 20, General Taxiing Procedures 1.C, the RCD shall be accepted and a CLD with ATC clearance and start-up approval shall be sent.
- If accepted, Lanzarote Autorizaciones shall transmit a CLD message with the following fields:
- Aircraft call sign.
- Destination aerodrome.
- Assigned runway for departure.
- Departure procedure (SID).
- SSR code mode A (SQUAWK).
- ADT (Approved Departure Time).
- Next frequency.
- Current ATIS information letter
- Additional information, which will include start-up clearance or instructions to request it in the case of failure to comply with the start-up approval parameters indicated in AD 2, item 20, 1.C.
Note: The initial altitude will correspond to the published SID.
Note: ADT = CTOT of the flight, if applicable.
- When an FSM message of the type “REVERT TO VOICE PROCEDURES” is received, the data link communication will be deemed to have concluded and the revert to voice procedures will be applied.
- When the CLD message is received, the pilot:
- If a CDA message is not received by the pilot within the waiting time, or a CDA that is inconsistent with the previous CLD message is received, communication via data link will be terminated and a "CDA REJECTED" message will be received in the FMS.
- When a correct CDA message is received, the ATC system will send the aircraft a "CLEARANCE CONFIRMED" message in the FMS and will terminate the communication via data link.
Push-back must be requested on the frequency stated in the appropriate CLD message, and it may only be approved via voice on that frequency.
REVERT TO VOICE PROCEDURES
Upon receiving a message of the type "REVERT TO VOICE PROCEDURES", or in the event of any inconsistency in the clearance received, the pilot will contact the controller via voice and request a new clearance
EXCHANGE OF DATA WITH NMOC-ADVANCED ATC TWR
The airport of LANZAROTE/César Manrique Lanzarote exchanges information for departure flights by applying the Advanced ATC TWR procedures.
Message exchanges from the local system to the ATM network uses the European standard for A-CDM airports, using the following message types:
- A-DPI
- C-DPI
Once start-up has been cleared, when the aircraft starts to exit the stand, the target take-off time (TTOT) is calculated and transmitted to NMOC (Network Manager Operations Center) via an ADPI message. The use of the actual off-block time (AOBT) instead of the EOBT of the flight plan, along with the variable taxiing time, increases the precision of the take-off time.
After reception of the A-DPI, DLA or CHG messages that change the flight plan data shall not be accepted. If regulated, the CTOT assigned before receiving the A-DPI shall be maintained.
If an aircraft has to abort taxiing for technical reasons, the airport shall send a C-DPI message to the NMOC (cancellation message of departure flight planning information). The result of the C-DPI is that the flight plan shall be suspended by informing the operator via an FLS message with the comment “Suspended by Departure airport”. The flight plan can be activated again by updating the EOBT with a DLA or CHG message.
TAXIING RESTRICTIONS
A. Taxiing on the apron between gates A and B, and between gates B and C, is prohibited for aircraft with a wingspan greater than 52 m. Taxiing on apron via gate B is prohibited for aircraft with a wingspan greater than 50 m.

STANDSTILL OF OPERATIONS IN THE MOVEMENT AREA PROCEDURE (PPOAM)
LANZAROTE/César Manrique Lanzarote Airport has a "Standstill of Operations in the Movement Area Procedure for visibility lower than 800 m” for maintaining safety in the movement area in low visibility conditions, consisting of the following phases:
PHASE I: WARNING
This will be initiated when:
- 900 m ≥ VIS ≥ 800 m, or when the prevailing visibility is greater than 900 m, but the visibility in the direction NNE-SSW is lower.
In this phase, all the services and users involved will be informed for the purposes of preparation.
PHASE II: STANDSTILL OF OPERATIONS
This will be initiated when:
- VIS < 800 m, or when the prevailing visibility is greater than 800 m, but the visibility in the direction NNE-SSW is lower.
While these conditions prevail, TWR will not clear operations, except for special operations envisaged in the procedure.
PHASE III: RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS
This will be initiated when:
- VIS ≥ 900 m and there is a firm improving trend.
Pilots will be informed about the meteorological minima defined for the procedure.
| PHASES | VIS (1) |
|---|---|
| PHASE I: WARNING | 900 m ≥ VIS ≥ 800 m |
| PHASE II: STANDSTILL OF OPERATIONS | VIS < 800 m |
| PHASE III: RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS | VIS > 900 m |
