LEVX AD 2 AERODROME DATA

GENERAL

1. All surface movements of aircraft, towed aircraft, personnel and vehicles on the manoeuvring area are subject to previous ATC clearance.

2. Any aircraft which on landing overshoots the exit taxiways to the apron, mandatorily shall continue taxiing to make the turn on the turning pads at the end of the runway.

3. Collision avoidance with other aircraft or obstacles is the responsibility of:

   • pilots, when taxiing and entering the stand.

   • handling companies during towed push-back manoeuvres.

   • ATC on the manoeuvring area.

START-UP OF ENGINES/TURBINES

Before an aircraft starts up its engines, the handling agent or air company must check that both pedestrians and vehicles comply with the distances to the engines specified in the apron safety regulations.

To avoid automatic suspension of the FPL, the EOBT must be maintained up to date.

1. Pilots shall request permission to start up the engines / turbines on the frequency corresponding to Vigo TWR. When that permission is requested, the aircraft must be completely ready for the start-up or in conditions to do so within a maximum period of 5 minutes; otherwise the pilot shall notify ATC to that effect.

2. On requesting start-up, pilots shall indicate the complete call sign of the aircraft and the stand occupied.

3. The start-up request must be made, considering that the aircraft is ready to exit its stand, with the following criteria:

   • Aircraft with assigned CTOT: 10 minutes before their CTOT, if they are parked on stands with exit by towed push-back, or 5 minutes before their CTOT for the remaining stands.

   • Aircraft without assigned CTOT: if they need towed push-back, a maximum of 5 minutes after their EOBT. In the remaining cases, a maximum of 10 minutes after the EOBT.

Depending on the traffic situation, any ATC clearance request made later than these times may be rejected.

ARRIVING AIRCRAFT

1. The controller will inform the aircraft of the stand allocated by the Centro de Coordinación de Operaciones (Operations Coordination Centre) (CEOPS) when approaching the stand with the docking guidance system activated. When vacating the runway and should no stand taxiing instructions be received from ATC, the aircraft shall stop at the end of the section of the taxiway before entering the apron and shall await instructions from the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

2. Taxiing restrictions: TWY C1 and C3 should not be used as rapid exit taxiways.

ARRIVALS

Helicopters will approach aligned with the runway, land via RWY 01/19 and leave the runway via TWY C1 or TWY C3 following ATC instructions, before continuing on the apron taxiway to the stand, guided at all times by the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

For RWY 19 approaches with LVP, the runway must be vacated via TWY C3, guided at all times by the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

DEPARTURES

Helicopters will take off from RWY 01/19. They will start taxiing from the stand via the apron taxiway to the TWY C1 or TWY C3 holding position, following ATC instructions.

TAXIING ROUTES

Helicopters will be cleared to enter or leave RWY 01/19 via TWY C1 and C3. They will enter the apron via these standardized taxiways and proceed to the assigned stand.

RWY 01 in use:

• Departures: Helicopters will taxi by air or ground (as appropriate) via TWY C1 or C3, as indicated by ATC.

• Arrivals: Helicopters will complete the final approach to the runway and vacate it via TWY C1, unless ATC should indicate otherwise. Helicopters will taxi by air or ground, as appropriate, to the assigned stand.

RWY 19 in use:

• Departures: Helicopters will taxi by air or ground (as appropriate) via TWY C1 or C3, as indicated by ATC.

• Arrivals: Helicopters will complete the final approach to the runway and vacate it via TWY C1 or C3, unless ATC should indicate otherwise. Helicopters will taxi by air or ground, as appropriate, to the assigned stand.

Once on the apron, the stand access taxiway will be used for both air and ground taxiing, following its centre line marking, both on arrival and departure.

REMARKS

Helicopters based at the Vigo airport holding an exemption letter under the terms laid down in SERA article 4, items 1 and 3, and RD 552/14 Chapter VIII, and in coordination with and subject to clearance by ATC, will be allowed to take off and land from FATOs C1 and C3. Otherwise, they will be treated as fixed-wing aircraft and cleared by ATC to take off and land on the runway.

Following ATC clearance, operations from these designated FATOs will only be carried out for emergency operational flights, in special circumstances such as crosswinds or tailwinds greater than 10 kts, and when reducing the taxiing distance is advisable due to weather conditions.

These helicopters shall comply with and operate in accordance with the airport manager's local procedure.

Restrictions in the use of FATOs C1 and C3:

• ATC will establish the appropriate procedures to separate the departures and arrivals of helicopters using "FATO C3" or "FATO C1" from the aircraft using RWY 01/19. Simultaneous landing, overflying or take-off operations on the runway and FATO are not allowed, since these operations are considered dependent.

• From "FATO C3", and for Southbound take-offs (heading 19) and Northbound landings (heading 01), helicopters will only operate in performance 1 during the hours from sunrise to sunset.

• The following operations will not be performed from "FATO C3": heading 01 take-offs and heading 19 approaches/landings, if any of the following PRKG 6 and 7A, are occupied by an aircraft.

• Aircraft taxiing and vehicle traffic along the taxiway on apron C1-C3 and TWY C3 are forbidden during helicopter landing/take-off operations from "FATO C3". Thus, vehicles using the taxiway on apron C1-C3 shall actively monitor the TWR frequency at all times, in order to avoid driving along that taxiway during "FATO C3" operations. Furthermore, the movement area inspection service, carried out by TOAM, continuously ensures that these helicopter operations are safely monitored from "FATO C3", verifying that there is no vehicle traffic in the taxiway on apron C1-C3 during these operations.

• During helicopter Southbound landings (heading 19) / Northbound take-offs (heading 01) from "FATO C3", engine testing in PRKG 1, 1A, 1B, 2 and 3 is forbidden.

• The most restrictive helicopter to operate in "FATO C3" and "FATO C1" is SIKORSKY S-76 SPIRITS76C.

PROCEDURE OF OPERATION:

• Arrivals: ATC will indicate the taxiing route depending on the configuration of the landing runway:

  • Code letter D and E aircraft: landing by RWY 01/19: taxiing via TWY C1/C3.

  • Code letter F (AN-124 Ruslan) and E aircraft with wingspan larger than that of the B777-300 (E > 60.90 m): landing by RWY 01/19: taxiing via TWY C1.

• Departures:

  • Code letter D and E aircraft: take-off by RWY 01/19 and following ATC instructions, the taxiing route may also be via TWY C1/C3.

  • Code letter F (AN-124 Ruslan) and E aircraft with wingspan larger than that of the B777-300 (E > 60.90 m): take-off by RWY 01/19 and following ATC instructions; the taxiing route may only be via TWY C1.

• Stand:

  • Code letter D aircraft may only park on PRKG 1A (in remote position and towed exit), PRKG 5 (in loading bridge position and towed exit) and PRKG 7A (in remote position and autonomous exit).

  • Code letter E aircraft may only park on PRKG 7A (in remote position and autonomous exit).

  • Code letter F (AN-124 Ruslan) aircraft may only park on PRKG 7A (in remote position and autonomous exit).

  • Code letter D (AN12) aircraft may park on PRKG 10A.

RESTRICTIONS:

• For the code letter F aircraft AN-124 Ruslan and the code letter E aircraft with wingspan larger than the B777-300 (E > 60.90 m), the TWY C3 is restricted and shall use TWY C1.

• By PCN, the following higher code letter aircraft cannot operate at the airport, except for emergency landings: A300-600, MD-11, B747-400 and B777-300.

• Due to the distance of 176 m between the centre line of the TWY on apron C1-C3 and the centre line of RWY 01/19, during the taxiing of code letter E and F aircraft (AN-124 Ruslan), only one aircraft will be allowed to move in the following area of the movement area delimited by: the RWY section parallel to the TWY on apron C1-C3 and the TWY on apron C1-C3.

• For aircraft possessing these, it is required that during taxiing on the surface, that the exterior engines 1 and 4 of the aircraft are off, preferably, or idling, to avoid the generation and ingestion of FOD (Foreign Object Deposits).

• As there is less than 4.5 m between the exterior wheel of the main gear of the aircraft and the edge of TWY C3, code letter D and E aircraft must make oversteer manoeuvres to correct their path on the curved segments of TWY C3 towards/from THR 01. That manoeuvre will be supported by a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

• As there is less than 4.5 m between the exterior wheel of the main gear of the aircraft and the edge of the apron taxiway between PRKG 10 and 8, code letter D, E and F (AN-124 Ruslan) aircraft must make oversteer manoeuvres to correct their path on this slightly curved segment of the apron taxiway towards/from TWY C1. That manoeuvre will be supported by a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

• As there is less than 4.5 m between the exterior wheel of the main gear of the aircraft and the edge of the turning pad at THR 01 and 19, code letter E aircraft must take caution in the straight segment during the entry to those turning pads.

• The wheel clearance over threshold requirements are not met, thus PAPI of RWY 01/19 is not usable by these aircraft.

• The following higher code letter aircraft, A340-600, A350-1000, B777-300, AN124 and B763, shall carry out an oversteering manoeouvre on the turning pad of both thresholds, in order to ensure the manoeouvre safety and/or to comply with the turning path.
