LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS LOCAL REGULATIONS

AD closed to aircraft without two-way radiocommunication.

Take-off or landing of any aircraft towing advertising posters or other objects are not allowed.

TWR contact phone numbers to be used in case of communications failure:

TEL: +34-928 577 143; +34-928 574 312

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS

North configuration shall be preferential. Other than with ATC clearance, operations shall be carried out on the basis of the following allocation:

North configuration:
- Arrivals: RWY 03L
- Departures: RWY 03R
South configuration:
- Arrivals: RWY 21R
- Departures: RWY 21L

The described use of runways involves a possible invasion of the ILS critical area, so signal fluctuations may be observed on final approach.

Pilots asking for the use of a runway different from the one described, must do so on requesting start-up and shall be responsible for the possible delays.

MINIMUM RUNWAY OCCUPANCY TIME

ARRIVAL

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 adjust taxi speed after touchdown when it is evident that the aircraft will miss the planned RET, avoiding low speeds on the runway.
To vacate the runway completely before halting. Should they not be able to contact GMC, after leaving the runway free, they should hold until they establish that communication.
Report runway vacated on the LCL/TWR frequency before changing to the GMC frequency.

Arrivals to RWY 03R

In the event that an aircraft that has landed on RWY 03R cannot taxi over the cable, they must inform ATC as soon as possible, and where necessary they will be instructed to:

Vacate RWY 03R via TWY S6-S3 if it is available.
Vacate RWY 03R via TWY S8 or GATE K to proceed via TWY R18, and await ATC clearance to cross the runways and proceed via TWY R9-R8.

DEPARTURES

Pilots should be ready for departure when reaching the runway-holding position.

On receipt of line-up clearance pilots should ensure that they are able to taxi and line-up on the runway as soon as the preceding aircraft has commenced either its take-off roll or, in the case of an arrival, it has passed their location at the holding position.

Pilots who require additional separations (due to wake turbulence or other reason), shall notify ATC as soon as possible and before entering the runway.

Pilots should be able to commence the take-off roll immediately when takeoff Clearance is issued. Pilots unable to comply with this requirement shall notify ATC as soon as possible, in any case, before entering the runway, and await instructions. When appropriate, ATC could cancel the clearance and instruct the aircraft to vacate runway.

Departures from RWY 21L

In the case that an aircraft that is to take off from RWY 21L requires to taxi beyond the fixed braking cable on that runway (GCLP-02-C-B), it shall notify ATC in the request for ATC clearance and, in any case, before commencing taxiing.

The position of the fixed braking cable on RWY 21L (GCLP-02-C-B) and the declared distance for operation from that point are stated in items 20 and 13, respectively.

STANDARD TAXIING PROCEDURES

START-UP

ATC will issue aircraft start-up clearances and aircraft push-back and taxi instructions. It will also issue taxiing instructions to aircraft entering and leaving the apron. Its tasks will include managing the process of engine start-up, push-back, towing and/or taxiing of aircraft, following the scheduled take-off times. In this way, it will organise the sequence of push-back/taxiing together with the arrival traffic on the apron, to achieve a safe, organised and optimal sequence upon request by the crews.
Aircraft must be fully ready to start-up before submitting the request via DCL or calling on the appropriate frequency: CLR (125.000 MHz), GMC (121.700 MHz) or LCL/TWR (118.300 MHz). When CLR frequency is in service or frequencies are unified into TWR it shall be reported by ATIS.
Aircraft should be ready for start-up no later than their estimated off-block time (EOBT).
Pilots will contact GRAN CANARIA RODADURA (GMC 121.700 MHz) to request permission to start-up. On requesting start-up clearance, pilots shall report to ATC the complete call sign, aircraft type and series, stand occupied and the ATIS message received.
In case of aircraft with 52 m or longer wingspan, pilot shall report it is a code letter aircraft E/F as appropriate.
Pilots or aircraft operators who consider that their take-off run may be less than 300 m should notify ATC as soon as possible and should do so in any case before accessing the runway in service.
Start-up clearance shall be issued as soon as requested, unless delays are expected to exceed 15 minutes, in which case ATC shall provide the appropriate engine start-up time.
Usually, once engine start-up clearance or expected time has been provided, GRAN CANARIA TWR will issue the corresponding ATC clearance.
In the start-up engines and simultaneous push-back with autonomous APU manoeuvre, aircraft shall maintain the idle regime until being lined-up with the apron taxiway.
In the start-up engine manoeuvre with GPU at stands with boarding bridges and/or cross-bleed start in the taxiway, prior CECOA approval is required. Aircraft, subject to coordination and approval by CECOA, shall ensure that the boarding bridge is disconnected and that no passengers board or disembark on foot at stands T01 or N12 (M04 and N11 respectively). Unless otherwise advised by TWR, they shall start-up the engine located on the opposite side of the boarding bridge, shall accomplish the push-back manoeuvre maintaining the idle regime, and once lined-up with the apron taxiway, they will may increase the power to start-up the rest of engines. In this final case, the pilot shall inform TWR of their intention to perform cross-bleed start, increasing engine power in the taxiway before starting push-back.
Taxiing after autonomous start-up from PRKG P00 to P58 shall be performed aligned with the centre line of the parking stand and the turn shall be performed following the markings to avoid jet blast affecting equipment and aircraft that may be parked in adjacent stands.

REQUEST FOR ATC CLEARANCE AND START-UP VIA DATALINK

Departure procedures via DCL are applied at Gran Canaria Airport for 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 startup via datalink. In the event of discrepancies, voice communication shall prevail over the datalink.

The pilot may request ATC clearance via DCL up to 30 minutes prior to the EOBT.

The pilot shall request ATC clearance and start-up jointly via RCD. The RCD message must contain the following information:
1. Aircraft call sign according to flight plan filed (FPL).
2. Aerodrome of origin.
3. Parking position.
4. Destination aerodrome.
5. Letter corresponding to ATIS information received.
6. ICAO designator of aircraft type.
Free text included in the RCD by the pilot shall not be considered by the ATC. Special requirements must always be communicated by voice.
The pilot will receive an acceptance message "RCD RECEIVED" or a cancellation message "RCD REJECTED".
If accepted, the ATC will transmit a CLD message with the following fields:
1. Aircraft call sign.
2. Destination aerodrome.
3. Runway assigned for departure.
4. Departure procedure (SID). Note: The initial altitude shall correspond to the published SID.
5. Mode A SSR code (SQUAWK).
6. ADT (Approved Departure Time). Note: ADT=CTOT of flight, if available.
7. Next frequency.
8. Letter of the valid ATIS information.
9. Additional information, including the start-up clearance or instructions to request said clearance in the event that the start-up clearance parameters are not fulfilled according to the EOBT.
When an RCD message is sent within the valid EOBT range, ATC and startup clearance will be given. If not ready for start-up, the pilot shall not accept the clearance and shall contact the air controller by voice when ready.
When an FSM message "REVERT TO VOICE PROCEDURES" is received, the datalink communication shall be terminated and the switch to voice procedure shall apply.
When the CLD message is received, the pilot shall act as follows:
1. If any inconsistency in the received message is detected, the pilot will switch to voice to request a new clearance.
2. If the CLD message clearance is deemed correct, the pilot will respond via datalink with a CDA message (Departure Clearance Echoback).
If the ATC system does not receive a CDA message within the holding time, or a CDA inconsistent with the previous CLD message is received, the datalink communication will be terminated and a "CDA REJECTED" message will be received on the FMS.
When a successful CDA message is received, the ATC system will transmit a "CLEARANCE CONFIRMED" message on the FMS to the aircraft and terminate the datalink communication.

EXCHANGE OF DATA WITH NMOC – ADVANCED ATC TWR

The airport of Gran Canaria 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 for all instrumental departure flights.
C-DPI when required.

When start-up approval has been announced and 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.

GROUND MOVEMENT

Avoidance of collisions with other aircraft or obstacles is the responsibility of:

Pilots, when taxiing on the apron and in the zones not visible from TWR.
Ground handling companies, during the push-back manoeuvre and/or exit from the stand.

All surface movements of aircraft, towed aircraft, personnel and vehicles on the manoeuvring area are subject to ATC clearance.
GMC is responsible for:
- The control of every aircraft, personnel, and vehicles movement on the manoeuvring area except for the runway or runways is use.
- To issue clearances and instructions for towed push-back and taxiing of aircraft.
Use of stop bars:
The airport of Gran Canaria has stop bars on the access-to-runway taxiways Z1, Z2, R1, Z7, R13; R9L; R9R; R18, as well as on the taxiway S7 in the direction RWY 03L/21R towards RWY 03R/21L, of manual switch-off and automatic switch-on.

The use of stop bars is associated to:
- Runway crossing and occupancy: In cases of runway closures for inspection or similar activities, or works.
- As a result of deterioration in the weather conditions and, in any case, in Phase I (Warning) of the PPOAM (see item 22).

Push-back manoeuvring and taxiing

Aircraft must be ready for taxiing within the next 5 minutes to the approved start-up time (with or without push-back). In the case of carriers operating aircraft that require more time, ATC should be informed in advance.
In all stands with autonomous exit, the exit manoeuvre shall be carried out at the minimum regime to initiate taxiing.
All aircraft shall observe ATC instructions to reach the runway-holding position or runways in use.
Aircraft shall report ATC vacating runway, and will be informed of their expected stand and any further instruction, if required to reach the stand.
ATC clearances and instructions must be completely read-back.
As a general rule, push-back manoeuvres at stands T (except T12 and T13 in north configuration) shall be performed facing the runway in use. If a push-back in the opposite direction is required, TWR shall be informed when requesting IFR ATC clearance. This non-standard manoeuvre may involve delays exceeding 15 minutes.

Powerback operations

Powerback operations require prior authorization of the Aerodrome Management and will be executed under the sole responsibility of the aircraft operator. The company agent must request this operation well in advance to the Aerodrome Management.

This type of operation is only allowed for:

Turboprop aircraft smaller than or equal to AT72 dimensions in the PRKG M (M01, M02, M03 and M04).
Turboprop aircraft larger than AT72 dimensions, the company agent must request well in advance the feasibility of this operation to e-mail: lpaopestructura@aena.es

The airport shall analyze the safety of the operation and the noise pollution caused by it.

Push and hold manoeuvring

When an aircraft is completely ready to operate (start-up) before the allocated slot, the pilot may request a "Push and Hold" to ATC. If appropriate, equipment for push-back will tow the aircraft out of PRKG T (Tango), and once in the taxiway, marshaller will guide it to a remote parking position with autonomous exit, so that if the company is granted an improved SLOT (REA), it may exit the stand and in this way shorten the time to get to the threshold.

When the aircraft requests "Push and Hold", the CECOA, subject to availability, will assign an intermediate stand in a remote position prior to its final exit.

Possible remote stand to perform this manoeuvre are:

With RWY 03L/R in service: From P36 to P56.
With RWY 21L/R in service: From P00 to P24.

Access to stands manoeuvring

Access to stands from taxiways may require oversteer manoeuvres.

AIRCRAFT STANDS CHARACTERISTICS

See AD 2-GCLP PDC.

RESTRICTIONS TO STANDS

The use of 400 Hz facilities is mandatory at every stand where this service is available.
The use of the aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is forbidden in all stands where the 400 Hz / air-conditioning service is available, from 2 minutes after on-block to 5 minutes before off-block.
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 equipment is not available.
Aircraft operating at autonomous stands shall do it at the minimum regime required.
During the winter season:

No new overnight stays requested as from 1 October are authorized for arrivals between 10:00 and 19:00 UTC, for both general aviation and commercial flights (Friday–Saturday and Saturday–Sunday nights).
Aircraft are not permitted to remain on the apron on Saturdays and Sundays between 10:00 and 19:00 UTC for stopovers exceeding 4 hours or for periods longer than one day when apron capacity is affected, for both general aviation and commercial flights.

In order to prevent these incompatibilities, code letter D or E aircraft (B752 or bigger) shall usually be cleared to RWY 21 holding position at "ROMEO 9 LIMA".
Caution when accessing R9L with aircraft on R9R.
Holding position on TWY S7: If there is an aircraft at TWY S7 holding short of RWY 21L/03R, ATC shall consider RWY 21R/03L occupied.
Holding position on TWY S7: If there is an aircraft at TWY S5 holding short of RWY 21R/03L, ATC shall consider RWY 21L/03R occupied.

TAXIING ROUTES

The main transfer points between the manoeuvring area and the apron coincide with the entry/exit gates of the apron.

There is no transfer of aircraft between air traffic services and apron services, as far as communications are concerned.

Once the aircraft arrives at one of the transfer points, the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle begins to guide it along the axis of the corresponding taxiway on the apron, keeping its distance from the rest of the aircraft and vehicles. If it detects any unauthorised manoeuvre, it will stop the vehicle, signalling the guided aircraft to stop.

Preferably, the apron entry and exit gates will be as follows:

NORTH configuration RWY 03: exit via GATE E and J (EXC aircraft as B777, A350 and A340), entry via GATE F and G
SOUTH configuration RWY 21: exit via GATE F and G, entry via GATE J (EXC aircraft as B777, A350 and A340), E and F.

Unless ATC advises differently, aircraft shall taxi following the standard taxiing routes defined hereafter.

Aircraft going to stand without signalman guidance must hold short of this point in all cases, and wait for the arrival of a marshaller in order to ensure the proper and safe aircraft parking.

NORTH CONFIGURATION RWY 03

Arrivals:

Additionally, in the case of aircraft which have been cleared to land on RWY 03R:

They shall vacate RWY 03R, whenever possible, via TWY S6 and, if they do not receive express clearance from ATC, they shall hold short of RWY 03L/21R at runway-holding position TWY S6.

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_LPA@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 with the air traffic control service provider (manoeuvring area, flight phases and ATS airspace) these may be sent to the e-mail address: canariassafetymanagement@enaire.es

USE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

Whenever there is a pilot on the frequency/frequencies in use in the manoeuvring area who does not speak Spanish, the use of English in groundair communications between aircraft and the ATS unit shall be mandatory; without prejudice to the application of the provisions in SERA.2010 under 'Responsibilities of the pilot in command', and the decisions which may be taken by the pilot in command in such circumstances, and likewise in the emergency situations which could arise on board the aircraft, and in the adoption by the air traffic contoller of the measures it may deem necessary to maintain safety.

This is applicable, as appropriate, in the operational scenarios described in Annex IV to the Real Decreto 1180/2018:

The following operations of landing and take-off:
1. Clearances to land with traffic in the holding position.
2. Clearances to take off with traffic on final approach.
3. Clearances to enter and line up from congested holding positions.
Operations in which there are aircraft entering the active runway, but which are neither going to land or to take off. Typically, these operations are taxiing along the active runway or crossing the active runway.

In the foregoing operational scenarios, Spanish may be used in ground-air communications between the aerodrome traffic control units and flights operating under visual flight rules (VFR), always provided that the pilots do not possess appropriate English language proficiency.

Special operations, in the foregoing operational scenarios, are exempt from applying what is indicated in this section in relation to ground-air communication between aircraft and ATS unit.

POINT OF ENTRY FOR PASSENGERS WITH PET ANIMALS FROM THIRD COUNTRIES

To guarantee compliance with the Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on the noncommercial movement of pet animals and repealing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, any Air Carrier wishing to operate at the Airport and transporting in the cabin, as a part of passenger hand baggage, the animals (pets) set out in part A of Annex I to the mentioned Regulation, must have engaged a handling agent who is to be responsible for managing the same in those cases where, during the checks undertaken by the Resguardo Fiscal of the Guardia Civil or Customs Personnel of the Passenger Terminal of Gran Canaria Airport, some breach of the health requirements established in the cited regulations is detected, prompting the animal's rejection at the point of entry.

The management for animal rejected at the border shall include, at least, transport to the designated facilities for its temporary stay at the airport, its subsistence, veterinary care and animal welfare, and even its return to the point of origin within the periods established by the public health authorities.

OPERATION OF TRANSPONDER IN MODE S WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS ON THE GROUND

To enable the necessary cooperation with ground surveillance systems, aircraft operators seeking to use Gran Canaria airport shall ensure that the transponder mode S is available for operation when the aircraft is on the ground.

Pilots shall:

Select AUTO Mode and the assigned Mode A code.
Should AUTO Mode be unavailable, select ON (for example, XPDR) and the Mode A code assigned:
- From the pushback or taxiing request, whichever comes first.
- After landing, and uninterruptedly until the aircraft is completely parked at its stand.
When the aircraft is completely parked, STBY shall be selected.

Provided the aircraft is capable of reporting its Aircraft Identification (for instance, the indicator used during the flight), this must be entered (using the FMS or Transponder Control Panel) from the moment of the pushback or taxiing request, whichever comes first. The crew shall use the format defined by the ICAO to enter the Aircraft Identification (e.g., BAW123, AFR6380,..).

To ensure that the behaviour of the systems based on SSR frequencies (including TCAS equipment and SSR sets) is unaffected, the TCAS must not be selected before receiving clearance to line up, and must then be deselected after vacating the runway. For the maintenance of TCAS systems that require power-up, these shall be carried out in coordination with the airport.

Taxiing aircraft without a flight plan, shall select code 2000 in Mode A.

MILITARY AIRCRAFT OPERATION

Military operations of aircraft carrying dangerous goods classes 1.1-1.2 and 1.5: Aircraft may only be authorised for arrival after 18:00 LT on Friday, and departure before 12:00 LT on Sunday, subject to PPR from Gando Air Base.

In the event of a missed approach, the procedure shall be according to the IAC for which the aircraft was cleared.

SPEED CONTROL

Speed Control is essential for safe and smooth operations, especially in dense traffic and during final approach phase.

Spacing provided between aircrafts aims to achieve maximum runway utilization within the parameters of minimum separation (including wake turbulence separation).

These speeds are mandatory for separation purposes and standardized approach procedures at Gran Canaria Airport.

Except otherwise instructed by ATC, pilots shall comply with the following speed restrictions:

For ILS and LOC manoeuvres.

MAX IAS 250 kt at FL100 or MAX IAS corresponding to the designated points.
IAS 210 kt at 12.0 DME ILS.
IAS 190 kt at 9.0 DME ILS.
IAS 160 kt at 4.0 DME ILS; or equivalent distance to threshold in case of DME ILS U/S.

For the rest of manoeuvres, the speed restrictions will appear on your corresponding chart.

All speed restrictions are to be flown as accurately as possible. Aircraft unable to conform to these speeds due to weather conditions, aircraft performance or other operational reasons, should inform ATC immediately and state what speeds might be used. In the event of a new (non speed related) ATC clearance being issued, pilots are not absolved from the requirement to maintain a previously allocated speed.

Non-compliance with speed control instructions may lead an aircraft to be excluded from the planned approach sequence.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT OPERATIONS

Depending on traffic situation, and if no need for interrupting the descent is foreseen, aircraft will be cleared to proceed to a standard arrival (STAR), or by means of a "direct to" clearance to an intermediate fix of the STAR, to the IAF, to an intermediate approach fix or to the IF, to the minimum altitude of the IAF or the IF of the instrumental procedure (IAC), in order to allow a continuous descent operation.

AD TRAFFIC CIRCUIT

POSSIBLE ILS SIGNAL INTERFERENCE

Due to aircraft crossing the runway or vacating it at the end, short-duration interference with the glide path or localizer signal may occur.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

OBLIGATORY USE OF HANDLING AGENT

All flights authorized to operate at the airport must have engaged an authorized ground Handling Agent, to be responsible for the transfer of passengers and/or flight crew within the restricted areas or those with security controls, as well as for possible carriage or movement of the aircraft in cases of emergency or when so requested by the airport.

It is mandatory to ensure that they possess the appropriate means for such carriage.

ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICE

Opening times: From sunrise to sunset.

AREAS WHERE BIRDS GATHER

Possible presence of birds due to the different points of attraction inside the airport and in the nearby environment, as described below:

Possible presence of seagulls, especially the resident species yellow-legged gull, with nesting populations on the cliffs in the airport surroundings, with a greater presence of lesser black-backed gulls during the winter. Daily crossing at sunrise and sunset, to the North (Ecoparque Gran Canaria Norte) and to the South (Ecoparque Juan Grande), along the coast and crossing THR 21 towards the irrigation pools in the island inland.
Possible presence of wild rock doves, with homing pigeons representing the largest group, especially with the presence of dovecotes in towns near the airport. Crossing by both thresholds.
Possible presence of small birds of prey such as the common kestrel, especially during the first flights of chicks and the dispersion of juveniles, between May and July.

WIND PHENOMENA

The shape and elevation of Gran Canaria island (1950 m), the location of the airport and the relief of its surroundings are decisive factors which make relief wind shear the meteorological phenomenon of greatest impact at the airport, although only in exceptional circumstances does it come to have a significant effect on operations.

North configuration (RWY 03). Situation of reinforced N-NW trade wind

The windward diffluence of the trade wind (~70% of the year), with a strong N-NW component, and most common in spring and early summer, generates a convergence line to the South of the airport, whose position may oscillate, depending on the direction of the synoptic wind, with relief wind shear present during different sectors of the approach, between Castillo de Romeral and RWY 03. Aircraft may find they are affected by tailwind during part of their approach path, and on crossing the convergence line, meet positive wind shear prompted by the sudden switch from tailwind to headwind. This wind shear is often reinforced by gusting winds, of more than 40 kt, with greater impact on operations at the airport.

The height of the thermal inversion typical of the trade wind is a factor which increases the disturbance of the flow due to the island effect. When the inversion is below 2000 m, the windward diffluence of the island is accelerated on the flanks, because it has been compressed at very low levels (on occasions, the inversion may be below 500 m). On the other hand, when the inversion layer is above 2000 m, and the synoptic wind exceeds 15-20 kt, part of the flow may be able to surmount the relief, giving rise to a strong, gusting downhill wind, which is often channelled along the gullies which open out in the vicinity of the airport, principally those of Tirajana and Guayadeque on the approach to RWY 03, and Silva on the approach to RWY 21, accentuating the wind shear in those areas.

South configuration (RWY 21). Situation of wind of SW component

The most common general synopsis is a squall to the W or NW of Canarias, with the islands standing in the sector of SW winds. A disturnace of the wind is generated on the East coast of the island of Gran Canaria, with a convergence line to the North of the airport, on the approach path to RWY 21, and the presence of relief wind shear which affects aircraft on the glide path. In these situations, the instability associated to the squall is superimposed, adding convective wind shear to that of the relief, and even gusts blowing down the slope or microbursts, depending on the position of the squall itself and its associated fronts. In the absence of inversion, the strong wind, in combination with the relief perturbation suffered and the convective vertical wind shear associated to the storms, makes these highly unstable situations those which may cause the wind shear of greatest impact, a fact underlined by the large number of missed operations prompted by this kind of squall in recent years. These circumstances tend to arise in autumn and winter.

circuito

Apart from these situations, sea breeze wind shear may arise in circumstances of barometric swamp, especially at the end of the summer and early autumn. Pure West winds could prompt wind shear on the runway, with a wind of South component for RWY 03 or North for RWY 21, the convergence line being found at the airport itself, just between the two thresholds.
