LOCAL heliport REGULATIONS
COMMUNICATION OF DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS
The departure/arrival of flights from/to Ceuta must be reported to the Centralised ARO by the pilot in command of the aircraft.
TAXIING ROUTES
A TLOF has been defined, coinciding with the FATO, for the operation of helicopters which have wheeled landing gear. Pursuant to the applicable regulations, the FATO may only be used as TLOF by day (sunrise to sunset).
Once the final approach to FATO has been accomplished, if the helicopter has means to carry out ground taxiing, and the operation is taking place between sunrise and sunset, it shall proceed to touch down in the FATO, defined as TLOF.
Otherwise, it shall carry out air taxiing to the TLOF situated at the assigned stand. In both cases, the taxiing shall be performed inside the safety limits of the taxiway and the stand.
Taxiways for access to PRKG TLOF 1, TLOF 1A, TLOF 2, TLOF 3, TLOF 4 and TLOF 5 from FATO are defined: Arrival manoeuvres: After final approach to FATO, carry out taxiing up to the TLOF indicated, in direction perpendicular to FATO. Take the centre of the TLOF as visual reference. Departure manoeuvres: Taxiing from TLOF up to FATO in direction perpendicular to the FATO.
Manoeuvres from FATO to TLOF and vice versa, shall start and finish, respectively, at the points RA 1, RA 1A, RA 2, RA 3, RA 4 and RA 5, with the following coordinates:
- RA 1: 355332.11N 0051826.61W.
- RA 1A: 355332.31N 0051826.04W.
- RA 2: 355332.69N 0051825.11W.
- RA 3: 355333.15N 0051823.98W.
- RA 4: 355333.57N 0051822.92W.
- RA 5: 355334.07N 0051821.69W.
SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS BETWEEN FATO AND STANDS
Simultaneous operations are considered to be those in which one aircraft is operating on the FATO (either landing or taking off), and another aircraft has its rotors running on the stand.
After analysing the safety areas required between the FATO and the stands, it is concluded that simultaneous operations are allowed between FATO and stands for the maximum aircraft defined for each stand (EC45 for PRKG TLOF 1 and A139 for PRKG TLOF 2, TLOF 3, TLOF 4 and TLOF 5). For PRKG TLOF 1A, the MAX HEL dimension (D) that allows simultaneous operations is D≤22.5 m (S61).
SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS BETWEEN STANDS: AIR TAXIING AND GROUND TAXIING
Simultaneous operations are considered to be those where one aircraft is on the stand with rotors running and another aircraft is in movement from/to the adjacent stand.
Simultaneous operations are allowed between TLOF 1, TLOF 2, TLOF 3, TLOF 4 and TLOF 5 provided that the following conditions are met:
- The aircraft operating on PRKG TLOF 2, TLOF 3, TLOF 4 and TLOF 5 must have a MAX DIM equal to or less than A139 (D=16.65 m).
- The aircraft operating on PRKG TLOF 1 must have a MAX DIM equal to or less than EC45 (D=13.03 m).
Simultaneous operation between PRKG TLOF 1A and PRKG TLOF 1 and TLOF 2 is not allowed.
PARKING OF AIRCRAFT WITH MAX DIM > 16.65 M (A139):
The use of PRKG TLOF 1A, as it is an overlapped and secondary use stand, must be requested to the Heliport Operations Centre (CEOPS) at least 24 hours in advance.
ARRIVING AIRCRAFT WITHOUT PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED STAND
In exceptional cases, when the arrival of the aircraft has not been communicated sufficiently in advance for it to have been assigned a stand before it is in flight, the helicopter shall access PRKG TLOF 1 by default, unless its DIM is greater than that allowed, in which case it may use PRKG TLOF 2 or TLOF 1A, as appropriate. CEOPS shall notify the SSEI so that they may assist the crew if necessary and ensure they park at the assigned stand.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are not available at Ceuta heliport.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In the vicinity of the heliport there are migratory routes crossing the strait that cause significant concentrations of birds, at different heights, which often coincide with the months of February and March in migratory flows from north to south, and in September and October in the flows from south to north, although these periods may be advanced or extended depending on general weather conditions.
Caution due to bird concentration all year long.
Caution in port area. Presence of high masts in ship docking manoeuvres (Dique de Levante and Muelle España) that could affect the obstacle limitation surfaces during the takeoff ascent and landing 07 and 25.
Request information by air frequency.
