LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONSLOCAL REGULATIONS

AD closed to aircraft without two-way radio communication.

ATC PROCEDURES

MINIMUM RUNWAY OCCUPANCY TIME

Given that the taxiway parallel to the runway does not reach the thresholds, it is usually necessary to taxi along the runway. In this case, the following shall be taken into account:

DEPARTURES

Aircraft should be ready to initiate take-off immediately after alignment with the corresponding runway centre line. Pilots unable to comply with this requirement shall notify ATC before reaching the runway-holding positions at Y-1, Y-2 or T-3.

ARRIVALS

Commensurate with aircraft safety and standard operation, pilots are reminded that rapid exit from the runway enables maximum runway utilization and lessens its occupancy time.

TAKE-OFF FROM INTERSECTION

Aircraft requesting this procedure shall notify it, preferably, when requesting clearance to start-up.

STANDARD TAXIING PROCEDURES

TAXIING MANOEUVRES

Pilots shall request clearance from ATC to start-up engines/turbines on the appropriate frequency. When this clearance is requested, the aircraft must be ready to start up immediately, or expected to be ready to do so within a maximum period of 5 minutes.
All the stands are autonomous. Exits from these stands shall be carried out using the minimum start-up engine power and in such a way that, when making the turn, this is not higher than idling.

TAXIING RESTRICTIONS

Simultaneous use of the runway and the taxiway parallel to the runway are incompatible when one of them is being used by a type E aircraft.

GROUND MOVEMENT

Crossing the apron taxiways on foot is forbidden except when the aircraft does not have a ground handling agent, and shall be accomplished using the apron service roads, wearing high-visibility clothing, and with clearance from the movement area supervision service.

All surface 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:

Pilots, when taxiing on the apron.
Ground handling companies during parking stand exit manoeuvres with push-back, and during towing.

RWY 29 IN USE

DEPARTURES

Aircraft shall exit the apron at GATE A, except:

In cases where, for operational reasons, the exit via GATE B is coordinated with the inspection service in the manoeuvring area (access road to apron parking is occupied by an aircraft that poses an obstacle to the entry manoeuvre, assigned parking, aircraft type, etc.).

Aircraft shall generally taxi on TWY T1 and Y1.

ARRIVALS

Aircraft shall exit via TWY Y2 or Y3 or Y4.

Aircraft shall enter the apron via GATE B, except in cases where, for operational reasons, entry via GATE A is coordinated with the inspection service in the manoeuvring area (access road to apron parking is occupied by an aircraft that poses an obstacle to the entry manoeuvre, assigned parking, aircraft type, etc.).

RWY 11 IN USE

DEPARTURES

Aircraft shall depart the apron at GATE B, except:

In cases where, for operational reasons, exit via GATE A is coordinated with the inspection service in the manoeuvring area (access road to apron parking is occupied by an aircraft that poses an obstacle to the entry manoeuvre, assigned parking, aircraft type, etc.).

Aircraft shall generally taxi on TWY T3 and Y4 or Y3.

ARRIVALS

Arriving aircraft shall exit via TWY Y2 or Y1.

Aircraft shall enter the apron via GATE A, except in cases where, for operational reasons, entry via GATE B is coordinated with the inspection service in the manoeuvring area (access road to apron parking is occupied by an aircraft that poses an obstacle to the entry manoeuvre, assigned parking, aircraft type, etc.).

For helicopter operations, consult item 20. LOCAL REGULATIONS - HELICOPTER OPERATIONS.

For operations of higher code letter aircraft, consult item 20. LOCAL REGULATIONS - OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR HIGHER CODE LETTER AIRCRAFT (D and E: A330-200)

GENERAL AND BUSINESS AVIATION

GENERAL

School and training operations (landing, touch-and-go, approach manoeuvre, low pass, etc.) shall be constrained by the operational possibilities, with the scheduled commercial activity at the airport being given priority.

The rates for financial contributions currently published by AENA will be applicable, section 2.1.5 Training and schools, to all operations including approach, low pass or touch-and-go manoeuvres.

GROUND HANDLING

In accordance with the provisions of AIP-Spain, section AD 1.1, point 1.3.1.6, it is mandatory to contract ground handling services for all operations, including non-commercial ones, whose passengers and/or crew members must access to the terminal building.

The minimum services to be contracted are as follows:

Complementary ramp service for the transport of passengers and/or crew members between the aircraft and the terminal building.
Additionally, if the operation originates from or is destined to a non-Schengen airport, category 2, passenger handling services, must be contracted to escort passengers to the passport control areas in the terminal building.

See item 4 for contact information of the airport ground handling agents.

Exemptions from this requirement:

National State flights.
Users with aircraft based at LEXJ who hold airport accreditation.
Users holding a valid General Aviation Pilot Card: Users possessing the General Aviation Pilot Card, must inform the airport in advance that they hold such a card. This information shall be included in Item 18 of the flight plan, under the indicator RMK/.

IMPORTANT: This exemption shall not apply when the flight originates from or is destined for a non-Schengen airport, or when the flight originates from an aerodrome where security measures at departure are not applied as provided for in Regulation (EU) No 300/2008 throughout the entire operational hours. In such cases, the contracting of handling services shall be mandatory, and the handling company contracted shall be included in Item 18 of the flight plan under the indicator RMK/.

For arriving operations, passengers and crew members shall remain on board the aircraft until the arrival of their ground handling agent.

For departing operations, they shall contact their ground handling agent for transfer to the aircraft.

PARKING ON GENERAL AVIATION APRON (PRKG 14 - 22)

Aircraft parked in the General Aviation Zone (PRKG 14-22) must be chocked and secured to the anchor points. Therefore, general aviation operators must possess chocks and fittings to secure their aircraft to the anchor points provided in each stand.

HELICOPTER OPERATIONS

This item defines, exclusively, operation by helicopters with parking position allocated on the apron in SANTANDER/Seve Ballesteros-Santander AD and which do not hold a letter of exemption under the terms prescribed in RD. 552/2014, Articles 24 to 31, and Article 4 of Reglamento del Aire (SERA).

As not be defined other specific area to operate with helicopters, they will have the same treatment as fixed-wing aircraft and will be authorised by ATC to take off and land, from/to RWY 11/29. However, in order to reduce the taxiing as far as possible, GATE B shall be used to both enter and exit the apron and the following declared lift-off distances shall be defined for lift-off from the intersection with TWY Y2 for helicopter operations only.

Declarated distances see item 13.

PRKG 23 and 24 are for the exclusive use of helicopters. Simultaneous entry and/or departure from both parkings or from the helicopter hangars based at the airport are not permitted.

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 transport the animals (pets) set out in part A of Annex I to the cited Regulation (dogs, cats and ferrets) in the cabin, as part of passenger hand baggage, must have engaged a handling agent who is to be responsible for handling the same in those cases where, during the checks undertaken by the Resguardo Fiscal of the Guardia Civil or Customs Personnel of the Passenger Terminals of SANTANDER/Seve Ballesteros-Santander 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 animals rejected at the border shall include, at least, transport to the facilities of the Border Inspection Service at the appropriate cargo terminal, their subsistence, veterinary care and animal welfare, and even their return to origin within the periods stipulated by the public health authorities.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

TRAINING FLIGHTS

Repeated approaches for training purposes are only permitted with prior authorization from the airport ATC authority and will be restricted according to the air traffic.

ENGINE TESTS

Engine tests higher than idling shall be requested, for approval by the CEOPS office, through the FAX (+34-942 202 153) or e-mail (ceopssdr@aena.es).

Once authorized, engine tests shall be accomplished in the following areas (as appropriate):

TWY T-1, nosing towards THR 29.
TWY T-3, nosing towards THR 11.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

RADAR DISPLAY SYSTEM / ATS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

At SANTANDER/Seve Ballesteros-Santander airport, ATS surveillance systems may be use in the provision of aerodrome control service to carry out the following tasks:

Supervision of flight paths of aircraft on final approach;
Supervision of flight paths of other aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome;
Establishment of separation between consecutive departing aircraft, in accordance with RCA 4.6.7.3; and
Provision of navigation assistance to VFR flights.

Should the Solórzano radar be unavailable, all of the foregoing functions will be suspended.

Likewise, the provision of functions b) and d) is not guaranteed in the northern half of the ATZ below 1000 ft AMSL nor in the southern half of the ATZ below 2000 ft AMSL.

In addition, the ATS Surveillance Systems may be used to provide the following to the controler by procedures:

Better position information on controlled aircraft.
Supplementary information on other transit.
Information about any significant deviation of aircraft from what the corresponding air traffic control clearances may establish, including cleared routues and flight levels where applicable.

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are not available at SANTANDER/Seve Ballesteros–Santander airport.

OPERATIONAL STANSTILL PROCEDURE IN THE MOVEMENT AREA (PPOAM)

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are not available at Santander/Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport for ground movements. The MOVEMENT AREA OPERATIONAL STANDSTILL PROCEDURE WHEN RVR IS LOWER THAN 550 M (PPOAM 550) is available instead to maintain safety in the movement area. This procedure shall be applied when the weather conditions are as follows:

550 ≤ RVR < 800: taxiing of only one aircraft, at a time, in the movement area shall be authorized.
RVR < 550: Operations in the movement area shall come to a standstill.

Information for pilots

Uncertainty regarding the position in the manoeuvring area

When in doubt about the position of the aircraft relative to the manoeuvring area:

If it is known that the aircraft is not on RWY, immediately stop the aircraft and report this event (including the last known position) to ATC.
If it is known that the aircraft is on a RWY, immediately report (including the last known position) to ATC, evacuating the RWY, as soon as possible if a proper nearby TWY can be located, unless ATC indicates otherwise; and then stop the aircraft.

Failure of an aircraft

Report the situation to ATC and await the arrival of assistance. In the case that the aircraft is on a RWY, if possible and unless ATC indicates otherwise, the pilot will evacuate the RWY.

Loss of visual contact between traffics

In the case of the loss of visual contact with another aircraft or a vehicle with which separation is maintained, ATC will be informed immediately and the aircraft will stop.

Communications failure

Departing aircraft: aircraft shall continue by the assigned route and stop at the limit of the ATC clearance, taking extreme caution. Here they will maintain their position and wait for the arrival of an assistance vehicle.
Arriving aircraft: if the aircraft has just landed, it shall maintain its position when leaving the RWY and wait for the arrival of an assistance vehicle.
If the aircraft already has taxiing with ATC clearance, it shall continue by the assigned route to the limit of such authorisation, taking extreme caution. Here, it will maintain its position and wait for the arrival of an assistance vehicle.

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 an appropriate altitude of the instrumental procedure (IAC), so that the descent operation may be accomplished continuously.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Caution due to bird concentration on RWY 11/29 and in the vicinity of the aerodrome.

Notification to aircraft equipped with TCAS, version prior to number 7, operating at Santander/Seve Ballesteros-Santander airport or in the vicinity:

For continuous performance verification of the en-route radar located at in Solórzano (Cantabria), a fixed radar transponder has been installed in the airport TWR with the following characteristics:
- Location: 432521.6519N 0034919.6526W (3.87 DME SNR, 0.28 NM South of ARP).
- Alpha Mode code: 7777
- Antenna altitude: 123.70 ft.

Aircraft equipped with TCAS, version prior to number 7, during approach or overflying at low altitude close to these coordinates, may receive TCAS traffic advisories corresponding to this fixed transponder. These indications do not identify real traffic and should be ignored.

WIND PHENOMENA

The orographic conditions of Cantabria and the location of Santander/Seve Ballesteros-Santander airport contribute, under certain conditions, to the appearance of wind shear and turbulence phenomena in THR 29 approach. At this location, an S-SW wind creates severe turbulence that can be noticed in an area up to 10 NM, from the ground up to 1800 ft estimated altitude. These phenomena occur when the wind measured at THR 29 varies between 190º and 220º, with intensity equal to or greater than 20 kt, accompanied by frequent gusts above 30 kt.

In these situations, the THR 29 approach is not recommended.

BIRD CONCENTRATION AREAS AND MOVEMENTS OF BIRDS

Between approximately 15 June and 15 September (with greatest likelihood during the months of July and August), after days of rain, with stable environmental conditions, high humidity and temperature, and in the absence of rain and wind; there may be occasional concentrations of gulls (principally of yellow-legged gulls, Larus michahellis), due to the massive presence of flying ants over the runway and over unpaved areas.

BIRD CONCENTRATION AREAS – ATTRACTION POINTS

AREA 1: Laguna de Parayas (inside the aerodrome).

AREA 2: Marismas de Alday.

AREA 3: Agro-food material warehouses at Raos industrial estate.

AREA 4: Ensenada de San Bartolomé.

BIRD MOVEMENTS

MOVEMENT A: Movements of mute swan and mallard (generally parallel to the runway and between AREAS 1, 2 and 4).

MOVEMENT B: Movements of yellow-legged gull (outside threshold 11 and threshold 29).

MOVEMENT C: Movements of rock dove (outside threshold 11).
