3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable

4  Warnings
  1. Turbulence may be encountered overflying industrial area on final approach Runway 22 and when crossing airfield perimeter on final Runway 27.

  2. Runway 04/22 prone to standing water after prolonged rain. Runway state available from ATC. Runway may not be available for turbine engined departures.

  3. Bird hazard. Flocks of gulls may be encountered crossing airfield approaches particularly at dawn and dusk.

  4. A public road runs through the undershoot of Runway 22 and 27. Pilots should not approach below the PAPI glidepath.

  5. To avoid possible jet efflux, pilots should avoid overflight of the engine test bed located approx. 300 M B3 Hold.

  6. Extensive Instrument training takes place throughout AD hours in IMC and VMC. Pilots intending to transit via GST below 5000 FT AMSL or in the vicinity of IAPs bounded by the co-ordinates: 515156.76N 0023430.78W (KUPET) - 515658.92N 0023005.91W (UVNOP) - 515942.11N 0015429.46W (LAPKU) - 514946.46N 0015243.99W (REKLO) - 514739.45N 0022823.06W (SOSAB), are advised to contact Gloster Approach.

  7. Glider and hang glider activity takes place along the Cotswold hills to the east and south of the aerodrome without notification to ATC.

  8. Runway 09/27 undulates from its western end for approximately 400 M. From the 09 end, the runway slopes down to a trough at 156 M, then rises to a peak at 264 M with the next trough at 384 M. Overall and local longitudinal slopes are compliant; however, the rate of change of subsequent slope changes exceeds CAP168 requirements by 0.05% & 0.08%.

  9. Certain flights may operate outside AD/ATS/ATZ hours, making blind transmissions on 128.555.

  10. Public road runs adjacent to eastern airfield perimeter, penetrating Approach surfaces for Runways 22 and 27 and Take-off Climb surfaces for Runways 04 and 09. Co-ordinates relate to that portion of road closest to runway centre-lines, elevations relate to maximum penetration.

  11. Pylons and HT cables run from bearing 127°-181° MAG and 214°-275° MAG penetrating inner horizontal surface. Co-ordinates relate to position and elevation of greatest penetration.

  12. Road traffic control system in operation, activated by ATC. Mobile obstacle (vehicles) above 2.5 M stopped during non-training precision approaches when visibility less than 5000 M and on request for 09 departures.

  13. Microlight flying takes place at Over Farm (515238N 0021657W) approximately 4.3 NM west south west of Gloucestershire Airport. Microlights carry out standard overhead joins, departures and circuits at this location and normally fly up to 1500 FT AGL in the vicinity of Over Farm.

  14. Mixed fixed wing and rotary operations can be complex. To avoid the risk of runway incursions all operators need to ensure they are fully aware of procedures, routes and listen carefully to comply with ATC instructions.

5  Helicopter Operations
  1. Helicopters communicating with Gloster Air Traffic Control should prefix each transmission of their call sign with the word “Helicopter” e.g. “Helicopter G-AB (or Helicopter AB) downwind”, “Gloster Tower, Helicopter 123B, on the tower apron request start-up”, “Gloster Approach, Helicopter GABCD inbound”.

  2. Helicopters capable of doing so should ground taxi rather than air taxi when operating on aprons and in areas where aircraft are parked or holding. Helicopters should ground taxi onto manoeuvring area before lifting. When air taxiing is unavoidable, helicopters should avoid taxiing within three rotor diameters of other aircraft. This distance should be considered as a minimum and should be increased for larger helicopters. Helicopters taxiing in and out of tower apron should ground taxi via holding point K. If skidded, via marked taxi routes from Taxiway A. Concrete Pad for the use of tower apron operators only.

  3. There are three grass Helicopter Training Areas (Heli Northeast, Heli Northwest and Heli Southwest). An additional aiming point is provided at Heli South to the west of Taxiway J. Helicopter pilots operating in any of the Helicopter Training Areas must exercise extreme caution and remain clear of navigational aids, meteorological equipment and other obstacles as advised by ATC and remain outside of all runway strips.

  4. Helicopter circuits operate parallel to and inside fixed wing circuits up to a maximum of 750 FT QFE, approaching and departing from the helicopter training areas as follows:

    Fixed-wing

    Rotary

    Runway 09/27

    Heli Northwest & Northeast

    Runway 04/22

    Heli Southwest & Northwest

    1. Helicopters may also be instructed to depart or approach to Runways. Arrivals from the south will normally approach to Heli South. To avoid runway incursions helicopter operators when taxiing and needing to cross any runway must take special care in listening and complying with ATC Instructions.

    2. Heli Northwest and Heli Northeast are referred to generically as 'Heli North'. Approach Control will normally issue joining instructions to 'Heli North', Tower may then specify a particular training/landing area, subject to traffic and/or runway in use.

  5. In order to reduce RT loading and avoid conflict between rotary and fixed-wing circuits, standardised phraseology and procedures are established for helicopter operations. The standardised phrases are assigned the following meanings:

    1. ‘Standard Helicopter Departure North': Lift and remain clear of fixed-wing active runways. After lifting, depart the ATZ promptly to the north not above height 750 FT QFE (subject to runway crossing clearance if required and remaining clear of fixed wing final approach and climb out). Please note that fixed wing and helicopter circuits may be active and opposite direction helicopter traffic may be joining. Any requirements to deviate from this standard departure must be advised to ATC.

    2. ‘Standard Helicopter Departure South': Lift and remain clear of fixed-wing active runways. After lifting, depart the ATZ promptly to the south/southwest not above height 750 FT QFE (subject to runway crossing clearance if required and remaining clear of fixed wing final approach and climb out). Please note that fixed wing and helicopter circuits may be active and opposite direction helicopter traffic may be joining. Any requirements to deviate from this standard departure must be advised to ATC.

    3. ‘Standard Helicopter Arrival North': Enter the ATZ from the north not above 750 FT QFE towards Heli North, remaining clear of fixed wing final approach and climb out tracks. Please note that fixed wing and helicopter circuits may be active and opposite direction helicopter traffic may be departing. Any requirements to deviate from this standard arrival must be advised to ATC.

    4. ‘Standard Helicopter Arrival South': Enter the ATZ from the south/southwest not above 750 FT QFE towards Heli South or Heli Southwest (as directed), remaining clear of fixed wing final approach and climb outtracks. Please note that fixed wing and helicopter circuits may be active and opposite direction helicopter traffic may be departing. Any requirements to deviate from this standard arrival must be advised to ATC.

    5. ‘Standard Helicopter Circuits': Lift and remain clear of fixed wing active runways. Fly circuits not above height 750 FT QFE in same direction as notified fixed wing circuit. Circuits to depart from and arrive at the most upwind available heli-spot. When downwind helicopters shall report their position (e.g. "Helicopter-AA downwind"). Each time a helicopter lifts (including lifting each time into circuit) they shall report lifting (e.g. "Helicopter-AA lifting"). These broadcasts may not be acknowledged by ATC. Helicopters to maintain a listening watch on ADC frequency as traffic information and instructions may frequently be given. Helicopters to advise ATC when circuit detail is complete.

  6. Larger helicopters and those types able to ground taxi may be integrated into the fixed-wing circuit.

  7. Helicopters are required to comply with noise abatement procedures as detailed in AD 2.21.

  8. Helicopters requiring AVGAS are required to alight at the circled 'H' west of the refuelling point. Ground handling or repositioning may be required for parking. At no time shall student pilots maintain control of a helicopter when in the vicinity of the fuel pumps. Control shall be taken by Instructors when routing to, from or in the vicinity of the fuel pumps.

  9. Helicopters requiring to cross Runway 04/22 and 09/27 will be instructed to air taxi to Hold Y or X to await onward clearance. Cross at right angles to the centre-line.

  10. Runway Strips and ILS critical areas marked by mown grass. Helicopters must not infringe runway strips during approach or manoeuvring without ATC clearance.

  11. Jet A1 refuel normally takes place at ‘Spot 5’. Access to and egress from Pad 2 should be via the quadrant delineated by the white markers. Similarly, when fixed wing aircraft are at the AVGAS pumps or Hold A2, access and egress from Spot 5 should be via the mown quadrants only, which requires a positive Runway 09/27 entry and associated ATC clearances.

6  Use of Runways
  1. Crossing/multiple runway operations may take place. To avoid runway incursions pPilots must follow ATC taxi instructions and vacate all runways as expeditiously as possible.

7  Training
  1. PPR and slot required for all instrument training flights and non-training.

  2. An Instrument 'slot' booking system operates throughout AD hours. In order to avoid delay or curtailment, pilots should adhere to their pre-booked times. ATC are to be advised of any cancellation.

  3. Engine failure after take-off training not permitted for SEP (single engine piston) on Runway 22 or Runway 27. EFATO exercises from Runways 04 and 09 must only commence after passing M5 motorway.

EGBJ AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Operators of all aircraft using the aerodrome shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in the areas surrounding the aerodrome. A medium density residential conurbation is situated to the east, south and southwest of the aerodrome. Whenever possible, pilots should avoid overflight of these areas, other villages, hamlets and residential areas in the vicinity of the aerodrome. The following procedures may be departed from only to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger and for complying with ATC instructions.

  1. Jet departures Runway 09 - Climb straight ahead through 1400 FT QNH before turning.

  2. Departures Runway 22 - No left turns permitted until passing Chosen Hill (1.2 DME).

  3. Departures Runway 27 - Non-jet aircraft (including circuit aircraft) are not to execute rights turns until passing west of the golf course (0.5 DME (27)) and should not route over the village of Down Hatherley. Jet aircraft are to climb straight ahead through 1400 FT QNH before executing any turn.

  4. Departures Runway 04 - No left turns before Staverton Village (1.1 DME).

EGBJ AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Procedures for Inbound Aircraft
  1. IFR Arrivals: PPR and slot required for all flights and in addition to the filing of a flight plan. Arriving flights are to establish communications with ATC at least 10 minutes prior to ETA at NDB(L) GST.

  2. VFR Arrivals: Arriving VFR flights are to establish communications with ATC at least 5 minutes prior to ETA for overhead and at not less than 5 DME. Fixed wing aircraft will normally be instructed to make a Direct Join. Direct joins may be issued with a vertical restriction e.g. not below 1500 FT QFE, to facilitate circuit integration. Such a restriction does not absolve pilots from the requirement to remain in VMC at all times. Inbound flights should avoid Instrument Approach let-down areas and departure climb-outs at all times.

2  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft
  1. To provide improved ATC handling of outbound flights via the ATS Route network from Gloucestershire Airport, the following Standard Departure Routes have been established in conjunction with relevant agencies. Full details published in Standard Route Document. Non-compliant FPL may be changed to the routes shown in the table below.
