APRON SATURATION

Should there be no stands available on the apron, it will be permitted to park in the zones designated on the PDC as "saturation parking area" and "east isolated apron". To access these, the engines must be stopped at the “stop engine” point, and the aircraft parked by towing. Exit shall be performed by towing the aircraft up to the start of the taxiway centre line marking, and at this point start-up of the engines shall take place.

The maximum aircraft allowed for the “East isolated apron” is maximum wingspan 18 m.The maximum aircraft allowed for the “Saturation parking area” is maximum wingspan 12 m and maximum length 11 m.

FOREIGN STATE/MILITARY STATE AIRCRAFT

PPR request is mandatory at least 72 hours in advance. When transporting dangerous goods, the request will be accomplished at least 2 working days in advance.

PPR request will be submitted during HR AD to the AFTN addresses LEVSZPZX and LEVSYFYX and to the e-mail address: poc_ba_cuatro_vientos@ea.mde.es

START-UP PROCEDURE

ATC shall consider that every aircraft at the holding position is able to commence the line up on the runway and the take-off run immediately after the appropriate clearance is issued and in a maximum time of five minutes.

Aircraft unable to comply with this requirement shall notify ATC before reaching the holding position.

TAXIING RESTRICTIONS

On the apron TWY for accessing the stands, aircraft with wingspan greater than 18 m must follow ATC instructions.

When vacating runway, hold position at intermediate holding positions and await ATC instructions.

CIVIL APRON

PRKG 07 is reserved for hospital and emergency flights and, in the case of not being used by this kind of flights, may be used by aircraft for boarding/unboarding passengers during a period less than 3 hours and following request to operations office.

WEST APRON

Reserved for restricted use of hangars. The maximum aircraft allowed is maximum wingspan 18 m.

MILITARY APRONS

Due to the characteristics of the taxiing guidance system to the parking positions in the military aprons, operations in this area of aircraft with wing span greater than 20 m or length greater than 16 m, must be executed with extreme caution. Aircraft will wait at the entry of the military apron designated by TWR for the arrival of a "FOLLOW ME" vehicle or signalman in order to be guided to the stand designated for its parking.

AIRCRAFT ANCHORAGE

Anchoring in all parking positions is made available to users. Should adverse weather conditions are forecasted, the aircraft anchorage with MTOW less than 5700 Kg shall proceed the anchorage.

HANGAR USE

Aircraft using a hangar and with no monthly parking ticket in LECU, shall contact the operations Office upon arrival and prior to departure thereof.

All standard routes are subject to modification by the ATS unit.

ENERGY SAVINGS POLICY, TURN AERONAUTICAL SURFACE LIGHTS OFF

During operating hours, and should there are no adverse weather conditions or turn-on request, energy savings procedures are applied consisting of the turning-off of all or some of the surface aeronautical lights indicated in item 14 of AD 2-LECU/LEVS.

ENGINE TEST

ATC clearance must be requested prior to beginning an engine test.

MINIMUM RWY OCCUPANCY TIME

Notwithstanding aircraft safety and standard operations, pilots are reminded that rapid exit from the RWY enables maximum runway utilisation and reduces its occupancy time.

Unless otherwise indicated by ATC, aircraft shall vacate RWY 27 via rapid exit taxiway J3.

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 information in order to improve operational safety, independently from 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 involved.

  • Description of the facts.

  • Any other data considered relevant (e.g. lighting conditions, weather, phase of the operation such as take-off / landing / stopover, pavement conditions…).

The airport's contact e-mail address, for the reception of operational safety reports, is the following:
Seguridad_Operacional_MCV@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).

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

No.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

Aircraft taking-off from RWY 09 shall leave the aerodrome traffic circuit after finishing the right tail wind leg and ask for clearance to control tower to cross the approach area of RWY 09.

Helicopters taking-off from AD MIL, Helisurface 09 (Apron H-1), shall leave the military aerodrome traffic circuit after finishing the left tail wind leg on course to point N (Boadilla del Monte).

The helicopter landing area of Hospital Central de la Defensa (Gómez-Ulla) is marked with automatic marking lights, FREQ 136.000 MHz, with a response time in seconds.

ATS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

ATS surveillance systems may be used in the aerodrome control service to carry out the following duties:

a) Supervision of the flight path of aircraft on final approach;

b) Supervision of the flight paths of other aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome.

Depending on the availability of the radars which provide coverage to the ATZ, the areas or heights for which the indicated uses of the radar are supplied could be affected. The air traffic controllers at the aerodrome shall maintain all the operations performed at it or in its vicinity under constant visual surveillance, with access to an ATS surveillance system to support that visual observation, as stipulated in article 4.5.1.3 of the Reglamento de la Circulación Aérea. All of the foregoing shall depend on the limitations of the equipment

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES (LVP)

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are not available at Madrid/Cuatro Vientos airport.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE PROCEDURE

After joining the communications failure circuit (from the point S, Residencial Miraflores, AD 2-LECU/LEVS VAC) at 2600 ft AMSL, one segment should be performed parallel to the runway (Segment A), equidistant between TWR and the Metro depots situated to the South. After this, they shall perform a turn (Turn B) and another segment (Segment C) passing in front of TWR to receive the light signals, overflying the taxiway and avoiding passing over the hangars and the apron. Finally, one segment perpendicular to the runway is performed to join the AD traffic circuit in the corresponding direction and at 3000 ft AMSL.

AD TRAFFIC CIRCUIT

Helicopter circuit of the Gómez-Ulla military hospital.

ARRIVALS: Helicopters arriving at this heliport must establish radio contact with Madrid/Cuatro Vientos TWR 5 minutes before the estimated time of arrival, notifying their position and intentions, with the object of receiving information on main traffic.

DEPARTURES: Helicopters prepare to take-off from this heliport must establish radio contact with Madrid/Cuatro Vientos TWR before taking-off, notifying the route to be followed after take-off, in order to receive instructions.
