GRAN CANARIA AD (GCLP).- Works at the access points to the thresholds of RWY 03L and 03R.

Until 17 April 2026 (estimated), works to expand the access points to thresholds 03 at GRAN CANARIA airport will be carried out, with actions on TWY R1, Z2, Z6, Z7 and Z8, and at the threshold of RWY 03R.

The works will be conducted in three phases, and the areas affected in each are those specified in this document.

The phases may not necessarily be executed in the order defined.

The start and end dates of each phase, as well as any operational incidents that may arise, will be announced via NOTAM.

All work areas shall be duly marked and lit. Caution is recommended due to the presence of personnel and machinery.

The works will be performed in daytime and night-time in coordination with the airport.

Operational conditions common to all phases of the work:

No operations by code letter F aircraft will be authorised.
Helicopters without a letter of exemption shall operate in the FATO located next to the ARP.
Engine tests shall be conducted on TWY R9L. Only ATR, EMBRAER E195-E2 or similar aircraft will be cleared in South Configuration.

PHASE 1: Works on THR 03L, TWY Z2 y Z6.

Phase concluided.

PHASE 2: Works on THR 03L, TWY R1, Z4 and Z7.

Affected facilities:

RWY 03L/21R closed, except A5 and helicopter operations in FATO ARP. All visual aids switched off except runway edge lights during night-time helicopter operations in FATO ARP.
TWY R1, S5, Z1, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z7 and Z8 closed.
TWY Z6 open, with lighting and stop bars available in both directions (ATTENTION: opening of a new access to RWY 03R/21L).
GP 03L and LOC 21R out of service.

Operational conditions during this phase:

North Configuration:

IAC 20 RNP B.

(*) Side step to RWY 03R only, with circling altitude minima (see AD 2-GCLP item 22, flight procedures).

RWY 03R shall be accessed via TWY R2, Z2 and Z6, using the runway-holding positions at TWY Z2 and Z6 to sequence traffic. In case of rejected take-offs where the runway cannot be vacated via TWY S6, the aircraft shall vacate via the end of the runway and TWY S7.

Aircraft landing on RWY 03R shall vacate the runway via TWY S6 or the end of the runway.

South Configuration:

Take-offs and landings on RWY 21L.

The available approach manoeuvres will be as follows:

IAC 11 RNP Y RWY 21L;
IAC 16 VOR RWY 21R, side step to RWY 21L only, with circling altitude minimum (see AD 2-GCLP item 22, flight procedures);
IAC 20 RNP B.

RWY 21L shall be accessed via TWY R8, R9R/R9L and S7, using the runway-holding position at TWY R9R/R9L or S7 to sequence traffic.

In case of aborted take-offs, the aircraft shall vacate the runway via the end of the runway and TWY Z6 and Z2.

Aircraft landing on RWY 21L shall vacate the runway via the end of the runway and TWY Z6 and Z2.

The only exit from RWY 21L is via TWY Z6, without crossing the red runway end lights.

Military traffic operations (in any configuration):

Landing and take-off on RWY 03R/21L Landing and take-off on RWY 03R/21L as per information published in AD 2-GCLP.

Helicopter operations (in any configuration):

Operational flights with a letter of exemption shall operate in FATO E, FATO J or ARP. In the event that it is necessary to operate in FATO J, the procedure to remove workteams in TWY R1 affecting the FATO protection areas will be coordinated.

All other helicopters (without a letter of exemption) may operate in the ARP. Access to and exit from the FATO ARP shall be exclusively via TWY S1 or S2. For night-time operations of helicopters in FATO ARP, the edge lighting of RWY 03L/21R will be switched on.
