LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONSLOCAL REGULATIONS

GENERAL AND BUSINESS AVIATION

It is mandatory to have a handling agent for all General and Business Aviation operations.

It is forbidden to cross the taxiways in the apron on foot.

ATC PROCEDURES

Even if the runway is temporarily occupied by other traffic, landing clearance may be issued to an arriving ACFT if the controller is satisfied that at the time the ACFT crosses the threshold of the runway in use, the prescribed separation from the preceding ACFT shall exist.

When issuing a "Landing Clearance based on Anticipated Separation", ATC shall use the following phrasing: "...(Call sign) BEHIND LANDING/DEPARTING (ACFT type) CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY (number)".

This procedure may be used between sunrise and sunset and without detriment to the requirements established in the Reglamento de la Circulación Aérea (paragraph 4.10.2.4, Fourth Book, Chapter 10) referring to the use of conditional phrases for movements affecting the runway or runways in activity.

STANDARD TAXIING PROCEDURES

START-UP

Pilots shall request clearance to start up from CLR on the appropriate frequency or DCL. On requesting this clearance, the ACFT must be completely ready to start up, considering that the ACFT must leave the stand 10 minutes before the CTOT.
Clearance shall be issued as soon as requested. When delays are expected to exceed 15 minutes, ATC shall provide the appropriate start up time. At that moment, ATC clearance shall be issued.

REQUEST FOR ATC CLEARANCE AND START-UP VIA DATA LINK

Pilots may request ATC clearance and permission to start up on the corresponding frequency or data link (DCL).

For more information about the DCL service, see AIP ENR 1.5, section 3. DEPARTING FLIGHTS: ATC and start-up clearance via data link (DCL).

In cases of discrepancies, voice commands will always prevail over data link.

The pilot may request ATC clearance via DCL no earlier than 30 minutes before the EOBT.

The pilot shall request ATC and start-up clearance simultaneously via RCD. The RCD message should contain the following data:
1. Aircraft call sign according to the submitted flight plan (FPL).
2. Aerodrome of origin.
3. Stand occupied.
4. Destination aerodrome.
5. Letter corresponding to the ATIS information received.
6. ICAO aircraft type designator.
Any free text sent via the RCD by the pilot will not be considered by ATC. Special requests must always be made via voice command.
The pilot will receive a message of acceptance, "RCD RECEIVED", or cancellation, "RCD REJECTED".
In the case of acceptance, ATC will issue 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 will be that of the published SID.
5. SSR code mode A (SQUAWK).
6. CTOT, if one is held.
7. Next frequency.
8. Letter of the current ATIS information.
9. Additional information, which shall include clearance to start up or instructions for requesting this, in the case of failure to comply with the start-up approval parameters in accordance with the EOBT.
When an RCD message is sent in the valid range of EOBT, ATC and start-up clearance will be received. If the pilot is not ready for start-up, he/she shall not accept the clearance and shall contact the controller by voice when ready.
When an FSM message of the type "REVERT TO VOICE PROCEDURES" is received, data link communication will be terminated and the revert to voice procedure shall apply.
When a CLD message is received:
1. If any inconsistency is detected in the received message, the pilot shall revert to voice procedures and request a new clearance.
2. If the pilot considers the CLD clearance message to be correct, he/she must respond via data link with a CDA message (Departure Clearance Echoback).
If the ATC system does not receive a CDA message from the pilot within the waiting time, or a CDA 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.

INTERCHANGE OF DATA WITH NMOC – ADVANCED ATC TWR

In Tenerife Sur the procedures established for airports with Advanced ATC Tower are applied. Therefore, by means of A-DPI message, the target take-off time (TTOT) calculated from actual off-block time (AOBT) of all departure instrumental flights is provided to the Network Manager Operations Center (NMOC).

From the moment of the A-DPI reception, neither DLA nor CHG messages modifying flight plan data will be accepted. If it is regulated, the assigned CTOT prior to the A-DPI reception is maintained.

If an aircraft has to abort taxiing due to technical reasons, the airport will send a C-DPI message to NMOC. As a result of that C-DPI, the flight plan will be suspended and the operator will be informed by a FLS message with the remark "Suspended by departure airport". The flight plan can be activated again by means of an updated EOBT with a DLA message.

GROUND MOVEMENT

Departures

Pilots shall communicate with TWR to request towing, powerback and/or taxiing permission.

After push-back or autonomous departure, aircraft shall proceed to the threshold in use through the first available apron gate, unless there are operational or safety reasons to the contrary (compliance with CTOT, improvements to the take-off sequence, request for opposite runway, inner apron taxiway occupied due to push-backs or aircraft, etc.).

Push-back and taxiing manoeuvre

A. Pushback is obligatory in front stands and shall be performed such that the aircraft remains nosing to the threshold in use and leaving apron gates "D" free, except when:

There are operational or safety reasons for push-backs without nosing to the threshold in use or leaving apron gates D free.
There are limitations on engine starts, which must be communicated to ATC in advance.
Pushbacks on parking stands R19, G20, AG21, and J22 shall be performed nosing to THR 25.

A1. Simultaneous pushback on adjacent stands is not permitted, nor is pushback from a stand with a simultaneous entry to the adjacent stand, unless the following criteria are met:

Both aircraft are informed of the manoeuvre.
In the event of simultaneous pushbacks towards the same direction, one aircraft initiates the pushback first and performs a long pushback and the other performs a short pushback; or one aircraft performs a pushback nosing to the threshold in use and the other performs a pushback nosing to the opposite threshold, provided that an apron gate is available between the two aircraft.
Simultaneous arrival/departure manoeuvres from adjacent stands J1 and G2, G9 and G10 and G10 and H37 are incompatible.

A2. Avoiding collisions with other ACFT and obstacles is the responsibility of:

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

B. Autonomous exits shall be made using the lowest possible starting power and in such a way that the idle power is not exceeded when turning. Departure shall be performed nosing to the threshold in use may be modified if there are operational or safety reasons to the contrary.

Powered pushback manoeuvre (powerback)

The performance of powered pushback manoeuvres (powerback) requires prior clearance from Airport Management and shall be performed under the full responsibility of the aircraft operator. The company representative must request this operation, in good time, from Airport Management for the safety analysis of the operation.

Push and hold manoeuvre

When an aircraft in a position requiring towed pushback is affected by regulations and fully ready to operate (start-up), the pilot may request a "Push and Hold" from ATC. Provided that there is availability, CEOPS shall assign a remote parking stand with autonomous exit from E64 to E70.

This manoeuvre is limited to aircraft whose dimensions are equal to or less than those of the MAX ACFT of the cleared parking stands.

Arrivals

The ACFT shall notify the ATC runway vacated.

All fixed-wing aircraft shall always access the apron or parking stand with "FOLLOW ME" vehicle guidance, from the appropriate apron gate for PRKG R19 to G48, and from the parking stand centre line for PRKG E49 to E70.

Simultaneous entries of aircraft into adjacent stands is not permitted, nor is entry into a stand with simultaneous pushback from an adjacent stand, unless both aircraft are informed of the manoeuvre.

Simultaneous entries/exit manoeuvres from adjacent stands J1 and G2; G9 and G10; and G10 and H37 are incompatible.

OPERATION OF HELICOPTERS

GENERAL

In general, as no specific zone to operate with helicopters is defined other than RWY 07/25, all flights will be treated as for fixed-wing ACFT and shall be cleared by ATC to take off and land on that runway. Thus, a FATO is defined on RWY 07/25 which covers the zone lying between the two thresholds. Helicopters on operational missions, or those so requiring for reasons of safety or performance, may operate according to local procedures following ATC instructions.

The operational schedule for helicopter operations is H24 (special operational ones whose letter of exemption so permits, and IFR). In cases of visual flights, the schedule shall be sunrise to sunset.

STANDS

The stands for helicopters are located in the East and West zones of the apron (see AD 2-GCTS PDC).

The characteristics of the helicopters that can operate, as determined by the possible stands assignable, are:

	PRKG	Model
East apron	E49	AW-101
	R19	AW-101
	J22	AW-101
General Aviation apron	AG2	SA-316
General Aviation apron	AG5	SA-316

OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS

Either air or ground taxiing is permitted, depending on the type of helicopter, and this shall be accomplished using the taxiways also assigned to the use of fixed-wing ACFT. The pilot-in-command shall take into account the widths of the taxiing routes defined and the dimensions of the assigned stand and their safety area.

Neither air nor ground taxiing of entry or exit to the stand are permitted while an ACFT is boarding or disembarking passengers at adjacent stand.

INFORMATION FOR PILOTS

Uncertainty about position in the manoeuvring area: In the face of doubt about the position of the ACFT in relation to the manoeuvring area:

If you recognise that you are not on a runway, halt the ACFT immediately and notify this circumstance to ATC (including the last known position).
If you recognise that you are on a runway, immediately notify this circumstance to ATC (including the last known position), and vacate the runway as soon as possible, if you can find an appropriate TWY nearby, unless ATC should indicate otherwise, and then, halt the ACFT.

BREAKDOWN OF AN AIRCRAFT: Notify the situation to ATC and await the arrival of assistance. In the event of being on a runway, if possible and unless ATC should indicate otherwise, vacate it.

LOSS OF VISUAL CONTACT BETWEEN MOVING ELEMENTS: In the event of loss of visual contact by an ACFT with another or with a vehicle with which it is maintaining its own separation, ATC shall be informed immediately and the ACFT halted.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE:

Departing ACFT: the ACFT shall continue by the assigned route and halt at the limit of ATC clearance, taking extreme care, where it shall maintain its position and await the arrival of an assistance vehicle.
Arriving ACFT: if the ACFT has just touched down, it will maintain its position on vacating the runway and await the arrival of an assistance vehicle. If the ACFT already holds ATC taxiing clearance, it shall continue by the assigned route and halt at the limit of that clearance, taking extreme care, where it shall maintain its position and await 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 the minimum altitude of the IAF or the IF of the instrumental procedure (IAC), in order to allow a continuous descent operation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT RNP Z RWY 07 (LPV ONLY) AND RNP Z RWY 25 (LPV ONLY) MANOEUVRES

According to the most recent version of the EGNOS SoL SDD, Tenerife sur Airport is located within an area lie with a continuity risk that is acceptable, but higher than that committed for APV-I service in the greater part of the territory (mainland and islands) of the member states of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC).

Taking into account the stated above circumstance, aircraft with capacity to use the EGNOS system might suffer losses of continuity more frequently than normal on the final section of RNP Z RWY 07 (LPV ONLY) and RNP Z RWY 25 (LPV ONLY) approach procedure. Nevertheless, in the event of unavailability of the EGNOS system, RNP approaches with other types of minima (LNAV/VNAV, LNAV, present in the RNP Y RWY 07 and RNP Y RWY 25) y and conventional approaches would be available.

Crews are reminded of the importance of checking during pre-flight whether the EGNOS signal availability predictions are appropriate for the operation envisaged at the destination. Consult the AIC "Implementation of RNP APCH manoeuvres published under the title RNP" for more details.

For further information about predictions of EGNOS availability, consult the AIC "Means of notification of the availability/operational status of satellite navigation systems (GNSS) and instrument procedures with authorized use of GNSS"

WIND PHENOMENA

Orographical conditions on the island of Tenerife and the airport situation favour the appearance, in certain circumstances, of wind shear and turbulence phenomena.

OROGRAPHICAL WIND SHEAR IN TRADE WIND REGIME, MAINLY AFFECTING RWY 07

Under trade wind conditions (NE-E), due to the topography of the island, the occurrence of orographical wind shear is frequent. Wind shear is appreciable on final approach (below 1600 ft) to the RWY 07 or on runway, being positive and more frequent in the summer. The surface wind intensities must be around 15 kt and NE-E direction for the effect to appear (positive wind shear 15 to 35 kt).

On approach to RWY 07 below 2100 ft, the wind is usually variable or with intensities of the order of 5-10 kt and SW-NW direction (tailwind), becoming NE-E direction (headwind) and with intensities of at least 10 kt when wind shear is encountered, around 1000-500 ft AGL.

This wind shear effect is most obvious in trade wind (NE-E) situations with incoming air from the Sahara, when there may also occur turbulence on final approach. Values of temperature above 30°C can give an indication of these situations. It is important to be aware of possible inversion warnings, which usually also indicate these advections of warm air.

With wind intensities over 25 kt, occurrence of mechanical turbulence is usually more frequent than wind shear on final approach.

perfil

OROGRAPHICAL WIND SHEAR SITUATION OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AT THE SURFACE (STORM), MAINLY AFFECTING RWY 25

In situations of low pressure affecting the islands, with synoptic wind SW-NW, the orographical wind shear pattern can be reversed, appearing on final approach to the RWY 25 below 1600 ft, with wind intensities on runway higher than 15 kt and SW-NW direction. The wind shear is usually positive and in the range of 15 to 30 kt. These situations may also generate gust fronts in the vicinity of the aerodrome, associated with convective activity.
