EGCB AD 2.19  RADIO NAVIGATION AND LANDING AIDS

EGCB AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations
  1. Fixed wing twin engine aircraft and fixed wing aircraft over 1500 KG MTOW must obtain briefing via telephone with ATS prior to flight.

  2. During adverse weather conditions, the AD and associated services may be withdrawn, the aerodrome becoming unavailable during these times.

  3. High visibility jackets recommended whilst airside.

  4. A full copy of the Aerodrome Rules and Procedures (Pilot Handbook) is available on the aerodrome website.

2  Ground Movement

Not applicable

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable

4  Warnings
  1. Pilots should exercise caution as runway and taxiway surfaces undulate in places and may not be suitable for all aircraft types/weights. Surface may become soft during prolonged periods of wet weather. Further information may be sought by contacting the ATS.

  2. There are 35 FT high lamp standards on the A57 road to the Southeast and Southwest of the aerodrome.

  3. Red/White Marker boards or non-standard markings (cones) may be used to indicate areas of soft ground. Pilots must exercise extreme caution as not all soft areas may be indicated.

  4. Bird Hazard: Herons regularly flying across the aerodrome at heights between 100 and 500 feet. Additionally, Bird activity (Gulls and Pigeons) increases during periods of wet weather and grass seeding. All Bird Strikes must be reported.

  5. Windshear and Turbulence can be expected on approaches to all runways. In particular, conditions may be more prominent during the following conditions:

    1. Runway 26L/26R Approach and 08L/08R Climbout - Additional turbulence/windshear during strong winds (any direction) and/or high temperatures.

    2. Runway 20 Approach - Additional turbulence/windshear particularly during southeast to south winds.

    3. Runway 31 Approach - Additional turbulence /windshear during strong winds (any direction) and when crossing dual carriageway (A57) prior to the threshold.

    4. Runway 02 Approach - Additional turbulence/windshear particularly when crossing dual carriageway (A57) prior to the threshold.

  6. Taxilane adjacent to AVGAS fuel installation has a reduced clearance of 10 M (from taxilane centre-line to fuel pumps).

  7. Aerodrome is used unlicensed by helicopters H24.

  8. Category A Police and Air Ambulance helicopter flights take place H24 from the Aerodrome.

  9. Paramotors operate non-radio from a site approximately 2.5 NM West of the airfield during daylight hours.

  10. Runway 08R/26L transitional surface is impinged by Control Tower building by 0.72 M.

5  Helicopter Operations
  1. Helicopter circuit height 500 FT.

  2. Helicopter circuit training is flown in accordance with the chart on page EGCB 4-1.

  3. Helicopters must not fly above 500 FT as shown on page EGCB-4-1 unless practicing emergency procedures and only once ATS has been informed.

  4. Helicopters are to arrive via the specific entry/exit point as displayed on page EGCB 4-1, reporting prior to reaching and at the appropriate point. Pilots must inform ATS if performing a non-standard join prior to entering the ATZ.

  5. Helicopters must ensure that they give adequate safety clearance (minimum 50 M) with consideration for downwash when operating in the hover close to runways, taxilanes and parked aircraft.

  6. Helicopter Fuelling

    1. JET A1 – Aerodrome facility – A mobile tanker is available for gravity-fed and pressurised fuelling:

      1. A landing pad is available next to the main apron.

      2. Fuelling may take place on the East Apron.

    2. AVGAS – Helicopters should position on pads 1-3 as directed by ATS ensuring safe separation from adjacent helicopters. Caution is advised when manoeuvring in this area close to parked aircraft.

  7. Manchester Heliport

    1. A dedicated heliport facility known as Manchester Heliport is located on the SW corner of the Aerodrome.

    2. The heliport is not available for flights that require the use of a licensed aerodrome.

    3. The heliport apron is floodlit at night.

    4. Use of the heliport is subject to PPR. Terms and conditions available on request.

    5. JET A1 Heliport facility – A landing apron with two marked pads and a remote third pad are adjacent to the fuel facility. The hose length allows for the fuelling of helicopters parked on all three pads.

      1. The marked pads act as a visual guide to ensure adequate hose reach only.

      2. The marked pads do not guarantee any clearance from helicopters parked adjacent. The pilot remains responsible for ensuring safe operation from adjacent helicopters.

6  Use of Runways
  1. Computer ATIS.

    1. A Computer ATIS Display is provided. This provides the following information via https://www.egcbatis.co.uk:

      Runway in use — QFE / QNH — Unofficial Weather — Runway State — Briefing Notes.

    2. Prior to departure, pilots should obtain the current airfield information from the Computer ATIS Display.

    3. On initial RTF call, pilots should advise the information received and the appropriate pressure (QFE/QNH).

  2. Runway availability subject to suitable surface conditions as determined by Duty FISO. Information available from the ATS.

7  Training

Not applicable

EGCB AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

  1. Pilots are to avoid overflying the cemetery to the Northeast of the aerodrome.

  2. Helicopters should avoid overflying the built up areas South and East of the airfield, indicated at AD 2.24.

  3. Climbing turns after take off should not normally be commenced below a height of 500 FT AGL except as indicated at c(i). Should pilots wish to make an early turn below 500 FT AGL on take-off, this may be permitted for safety reasons only. In this case, the ATS must be informed prior to commencement of the take-off roll.

    1. To minimise local noise disturbance when departing from Runway 20 and when safe to do so, upon reaching the Manchester Ship Canal aircraft should commence a right turn onto crosswind to avoid overflying the residential areas of Flixton and Irlam.

EGCB AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Communications and SSR
  1. Aircraft in communication with Barton ATS may be allocated a conspicuity squawk of 7365. Aircraft must not select this squawk unless instructed to do so by ATS.

  2. Allocation of this conspicuity squawk does not constitute any radar service.

  3. Non radio aircraft not accepted.

  4. Aircraft operating VFR or Special VFR in the Manchester CTR inbound to Barton must not assume that co-ordination has taken place to allow aircraft to enter the Barton ATZ. Manchester Radar will, whenever possible, permit an aircraft to leave the frequency temporarily to establish two-way communication with Barton. If this is not possible, aircraft must leave the CTR clear of the Barton ATZ and route to Barton from outside controlled airspace.

  5. Pilots requiring a VFR or Special VFR clearance to transit the Manchester CTR must remain clear of controlled airspace until a clearance has been obtained by RTF from Manchester Radar.

2  Fixed Winged
  1. Fixed winged circuit height is 1000 FT (Barton QFE).

  2. Fixed winged standard join is overhead at 1700 FT Barton QFE. Pilots must inform ATS if performing a non-standard join prior to entering the ATZ.

  3. Variations on circuit direction are permitted for training, weather or operational requirements providing the ATS is informed of the pilots intentions.

  4. Circuit directions: Runways 13, 20, 26L, 26R - RH; Runways 02, 08L, 08R and 31 - LH.

  5. Orbits within the circuit are not permitted unless required for safety reasons.

  6. Visitors can expect to be parked on the West Apron but only with ATS instruction. Refer to AD 2-EGCB-2-1.

  7. Go-Arounds

    1. Approaches to runways must not be continued below 300 FT AAL if:

      1. The approach ahead or runway is occupied or obstructed by aircraft, vehicles or personnel.

  8. Go-Around Procedure (at or above 300 FT AAL)

    1. To initiate the go-around, manoeuvre the aircraft to the dead side of the runway, climb parallel to the runway in use, and climb to circuit height (1000 FT AAL) before turning crosswind.

    2. Do not climb initially above 600 FT AAL until you have passed the upwind end of the runway in use. This ensures separation between you and the aircraft joining overhead, flying crosswind at circuit height.

    3. Exercise caution when low flying in the go-around over aircraft on the ground, including helicopters, personnel, vehicles and control line model flying.

    4. Ensure aircraft ahead are kept in sight.

    5. Caution, helicopter operations up to a maximum of 500 FT AAL are permitted on both the live and dead side.

  9. Pilots must not carry out 'run and break' manoeuvres within the circuit.

  10. As part of our noise abatement and bird avoidance procedures, long low, or fast intentional go-arounds/fly-bys along the runway must not be carried out. Pilots having to go-around because of runway occupation must not fly low over landing aircraft.

  11. IFR Procedures

    1. The aerodrome does not have any instrument or approach/navigational aids. All arrivals and departures must operate under VFR /VMC only.

    2. Pilots flying IFR should plan routings that avoid controlled airspace and for arrivals must plan a suitable alternative in the event that flight conditions preclude flight in VMC on arrival.

3  Helicopter Procedures
  1. Helicopter Arrival Procedures - Refer to page EGCB-4-1

    1. Astley or Worsley: Pilots should enter the published helicopter circuit (not above 500 FT AGL) or as requested by ATS.

    2. Irlam Bridge: Pilots should route along the Manchester Ship Canal (not above 500 FT AGL within 1 NM of the aerodrome) and follow the published procedure on page EGCB-4-1 or as requested by ATS.

      Note: Subject to circuit traffic and to aid traffic separation ATS may request an alternative routing.

    3. M60/Junc 9: Pilots should route from M60/Junc 9 (not above 500 FT AGL once within 1 mile of the aerodrome), and then proceed to Runway 02, 31 or 26 threshold as requested by ATS.

  2. Helicopter Departure Procedures (Refer to page EGCB-4-1)

    1. Helicopters must request rotor start from ATS.

    2. Helicopters must not lift until positive instruction has been obtained.

    3. Helicopters should conform to the published helicopter circuit on departure.

    4. Subject to traffic, helicopters may be requested to depart direct or via a specified runway.

    5. Helicopters must not overfly the Southwest corner of the airfield below 200 FT due to Control Line Model Flying which takes place.

    6. South East Departures via M60/Junc 9: Pilots should request clearance to enter the Manchester CTR from ATS prior to departure. Pilots should remain on 120.255 MHz until 1 mile South East of the aerodrome (not above 500 FT AGL).

  3. Helicopter Hover Training

    1. Two Helicopter Training Areas (HTA North and HTA West) are established for the purposes of helicopter hover training. Refer to EGCB-2-1.

    2. Helicopters must not leave the confines of any HTA without approval from ATS.

  4. Helicopter Aiming Points

    1. Two helicopter aiming points are established named ‘Heli West’ and Heli East’. These points are marked by a white triangle and are intended for use by helicopters conducting hover training and/or transition manoeuvres to aid separation between multiple helicopters conducting similar exercises.

    2. A hover square is established for specific hover training. This point is not to be used as an aiming point.

    3. Helicopters shall announce their intention to ATS to operate at one of the helicopter aiming points and must only leave the aiming point when in receipt of a positive taxi instruction.

    4. Helicopters engaged in auto-rotations should conduct the manoeuvre into a vacant aiming point, advising ATS on each occasion prior to climbing and prior to commencement.

    5. Approaches to Runway 31 threshold are not permitted whilst the threshold of Runway 31 is used for aircraft parking.

  5. Arrivals and Departures

    1. All arrivals and departures should be made using procedures outlined in paragraphs a and b above.

    2. Helicopters positioning to/from the Heliport Apron should route via D1 Hold, following the Air-Taxiway to the Heliport. The Air-Taxiway is marked by green/yellow linlaners and is not suitable for ground taxi.

4  Visual Reference Points (VRP)
  1. 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.
