Available when Fire vehicle attending aircraft on the ground in an emergency. |
Non-radio aircraft not accepted.
Pilots are required to 'book in/out' online for all flights at www.coventryairport.co.uk. Telephone PPR is a back-up only.
Run and break manoeuvres by civilian aircraft are not permitted. Military aircraft can perform a run and break manoeuvre only if no other traffic is in the circuit.
If visibility is at 1500 M and forecast to deteriorate, visibility (as assessed by ATS) will be below AD requirements. AD will only be available to rotary/emergency services rotary traffic.
Apron Parking - as advised by ATS.
Light Aircraft Parking - visiting pilots shall be directed to the West apron or eastern light aircraft park.
Not applicable.
Except for light signals, ground signals will not be displayed.
Bird scaring takes place regularly.
Turbulence may occur on final approach to Runway 23 during strong south westerly winds as aircraft cross the eastern bypass (Tollbar) roundabout.
Pilots are warned of helicopter activity in and out of Walsgrave Hospital helipad situated just north of Runway 23 final approach, approximately 3.5 NM from touchdown. Possibility of a TCAS alert on final approach to 23 or climb-out from 05 due to the proximity of the hospital helipad.
Pilots are warned of radio controlled aircraft activity from a private site approximately 3 NM east of Coventry airport, 0.5 miles southeast of Wolston village.
Pilots of arriving and departing aircraft shall remain outside Birmingham Controlled Airspace at all times. The base of Birmingham Controlled Airspace overhead and to the southwest of Coventry Airport is altitude 1500 FT.
Pilots are warned that unauthorised ground based laser lights have been directed towards aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome. All incidents should be reported immediately via the Tower to the Airport Authority.
Retail Park under Runway 23 final approach. Industrial/Business park to the southeast.
Intensive bird activity around/on the aerodrome due to construction work at multiple locations outside of the aerodrome boundary. Large gull attractant at waste landfill site, immediately south of Bubbenhall village.
Helicopters to land as advised by ATS.
Helicopters will operate to the runway, circuit height for rotary traffic is 700 FT AAL. ATS will brief on circuit details when booking in/out by phone.
Non-based helicopter operators not familiar with parking procedures must request marshaller assistance from ATS.
Except in an emergency, pilots must not use Runway 23 stopway for normal operations.
Circuit height will be 1000 FT AAL.
Circuits will not normally be permitted when MET visibility is LESS than 3000 M and/or cloud base is LESS than 800 FT. Low level circuits, when permitted, will be conducted not below 600 FT AAL.
All light aircraft holding at Bravo 1, Juliet or Kilo, that require a backtrack prior to take-off, should advise ATS of their requested departure point in relation to the adjacent hold before entering the runway; or request full length.
Use of the airport for training purposes is subject to the following conditions:
Circuits will normally be orientated to the south of the aerodrome, i.e. Right hand circuit Runway 05, Left hand circuit Runway 23.
No training flights by aircraft with a Maximum Certified Weight of more than 5700 KG are permitted on Sundays or Public Holidays.
Not more than one aircraft with a Maximum Certified Weight of more than 5700 KG shall use the airport for training purposes at any one time.
UAS survey area West, operating within area bounded by:
522146N 0013237W - 521951N 0012925W -
521928N 0013009W - 522044N 0013240W -
522146N 0013237W (vicinity of Kenilworth and Stoneleigh).
Maximum height 394 FT AGL. Elevation 650 FT AMSL. Area will be activated by NOTAM.
Noise Preferential Routeings and Procedures – all aircraft inbound or outbound from this aerodrome are required to conform to the procedures listed below, notwithstanding that these may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger.
Every operator of aircraft using the aerodrome shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the aerodrome. In particular, aircraft operators should avoid overflight of the noise sensitive areas of Binley Woods and Ryton-on-Dunsmore (05 departures, 23 arrivals), Stoneleigh and Stareton hamlet (05 arrivals, 23 departures).
Air Traffic Service will select the runway in use, having regard to wind, cloud base, aircraft performance limitations and environmental considerations.
Ground running of aircraft engines shall be subject to the approval of ATS and shall be kept to a minimum, consistent with operational needs.
Due to the proximity of Birmingham’s controlled airspace (CTA2) over the airport, overhead joins are not possible at Coventry.
To join for Runway 23, route to Draycote Water VRP and join on left base giving way to circuit traffic as appropriate.
For Runway 05, route to Southam VRP and join on right base giving way to circuit traffic as appropriate.
Straight in approaches are available on request, giving way to circuit traffic as appropriate.
Coventry does not accept non-radio aircraft. In the event of an emergency and radio failure and the pilot has no option other than to land at Coventry, remain outside of CAS at all times, squawk 7600 for Birmingham.
Details of VRPs are available in the consolidated 'Visual Reference Points List' published on the 'Digital Dataset' page of the NATS AIS website, www.nats.aero/ais.
Due to the complexities of adjacent CAS, pilots are reminded to ensure that their flight remains clear of the Birmingham CTR/CTA unless ATC clearance is issued.
Base of Birmingham CTA 1500 FT QNH (1233 FT QFE). Pilots must remain outside of CAS, unless cleared to enter by Birmingham ATC.
The portion of Coventry’s ATZ inside the Birmingham CTA is under the direct control of Birmingham ATC and not Coventry ATS.
Aircraft in communication with Coventry ATS may be allocated a conspicuity squawk of 0420. Aircraft must not select this squawk unless instructed to do so by ATS.
Aircraft remaining in the circuit at Coventry will be allocated a conspicuity squawk of 7010. Aircraft must not select this squawk unless instructed to do so by ATS.
Allocation of either of these conspicuity squawks does not constitute any radar service.
Outbound IFR Aircraft (Northbound)
Aircraft departing Coventry IFR to the NORTH should plan to join CAS at TRENT.
Inbound IFR Aircraft
Aircraft inbound via the ATS Route Network must file to route via the Birmingham Standard Arrival Routes (STAR) as shown at AD 2-EGBB-7-2 to 7-4. Pilots are to include EGBBZTZX in their Flight Plan.
After leaving the ATS Route System, pilots may be provided with a radar service outside CAS by Birmingham Radar, or transferred directly to Coventry Information.
An onward contact frequency will be given by London Control before leaving the ATS Route System.
Loss of Communications Procedures (inbound IFR aircraft)
Aircraft should descend to leave CAS at an appropriate point and proceed outside CAS in accordance with the Loss of Communications Procedures detailed at ENR 1.1 paragraph 3.4.Not applicable
