EGCM AD 2.19  RADIO NAVIGATION AND LANDING AIDS

EGCM AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations
  1. Not available to aircraft unable to communicate with Tower.

  2. Aerobatic manoeuvres and low flypasts are prohibited unless prior approval has been given by the aerodrome operator.

  3. Airport is PPR for all aircraft movements. The filing of a Flight Plan does not comply with the requirements to obtain PPR.

2  Ground Movement
  1. Caution, reduced wing tip clearance between taxiing and parked aircraft on Main Apron.

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable.

4  Warnings
  1. The only signals are light signals.

  2. Pilots are to join and depart via the aerodrome VRPs, joining the visual circuit from the crosswind, downwind, base or finals. No deadside or overhead joins due to the conjoined ATZ with Sherburn in Elmet airfield to the south.

  3. Obstacle marking and lighting: Control Tower, hangars, flood light stands and anemometer north of Runway 24/06.

  4. At both ends of 06/24, the pavement width is wider than the delineated runway width.

5  Helicopter Operations
  1. In order to avoid noise sensitive areas surrounding the aerodrome, helicopters should conform to the normal helicopter circuit procedures.

  2. 700 FT Circuit Height on QFE arrivals and departure.

  3. Helicopters should conform to a Helicopter circuit of 700 FT QFE with a 24 LH (Left Hand) and 06 RH (Right hand).

  4. Helicopters should arrive via the official reporting points and position to Heli North or Heli South avoiding Sherburn Airfield ATZ and Fix wing circuit.

  5. During LVP operations minimum MET visibility 450 M.

6  Use of Runways
  1. Except where a public transport operator has a lower State authorised take-off minima, the Aerodrome Authority cannot approve departures in RVR conditions of less than 400 M.

7  Training
  1. Use of the aerodrome for training is subject to agreement.

  2. The number of aircraft in the visual circuit will be determined by Tower, subject to the prevailing weather conditions and other commercial or corporate traffic.

  3. Booking procedures for all circuit training flights may be introduced by Tower during busy periods.

EGCM AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1  General
  1. Every operator of aircraft using the airport shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in the area surrounding the airport.

  2. Only those aircraft meeting ICAO Chapter 3 criteria or better will be accepted. Contact Flight Operations on +44(0)1937-534197.

  3. Pilots are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust or reverse pitch above idle power settings on landing, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft.

  4. Due to the close proximity of residential areas, ground running of engines or Auxiliary Power Units (APU) shall be kept to a minimum consistent with operational requirements. At no time shall APUs be run for more than 30 minutes without Aerodrome Operator consent.

  5. All aircraft should avoid flying over local villages.

  6. Runway 06 - Circuit pattern:

    1. Take-off

      Turn left as son as practicable to do so and establish on track to clear the village of Ryther (060 degrees, 2 NM). If remaining in the circuit, ensure that crosswind and downwind track is to the north of the villages Bolton Percy and Appleton Roebuck. It is acceptable to maintain a track between the two villages following the railway line.

    2. Landing

      Maintain the downwind leg north of the villages Bolton Percy, Appleton Roebuck and Ulleskelf to avoid overflying. No low approaches over the village of Church Fenton. Remain north of the railway line.

  7. Runway 24 - Circuit pattern:

    1. Take-off

      Turn right as soon as practicable to do so and establish a westerly track to avoid overflying the village of Church Fenton. If remaining in the circuit ensure that the crosswind and downwind track is to the north of the villages Ulleskelf, Bolton Percy and Appleton Roebuck. Remain north of the railway line. It is acceptable to turn on base leg between the two villages following the railway line south bound (performance permitting).

    2. Landing

      Ensure base leg remains clear of the villages Bolton Percy and Appleton Roebuck and if performance permits off set final approach to avoid the village of Ryther. Offset approach does not apply to aircraft on the RNP approach.

EGCM AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Circuit Procedures
  1. Aircraft taking off, 'going around' or making 'touch and go' landings may be subject to noise procedures as instructed by Tower.

  2. Circuit direction: Runway 24 right hand; Runway 06 left hand.

  3. Fixed wing circuit height 1000 FT QFE.

  4. Helicopters circuit height 700 FT QFE.

2  VFR Flights
  1. Arrival Procedures

    1. The arrival procedure for traffic arriving at Leeds East Airport (LEA) will be via VFR reporting points not below 1500 FT AAL.

  2. Departure Procedures

    1. VFR departures will follow noise abatement then climb on track avoiding inbound VRP's.

    2. All departing and arriving aircraft should avoid overflying villages on the downwind leg. See AD 2.21.

3  VFR Departures Joining Airways IFR
  1. Subject to controller workload, expect to be controlled by either Scottish Control or Leeds Radar as appropriate.

  2. Ops can obtain clearances from the relevant agency on aircraft start-up.

  3. Commanders are reminded that LBA CAS exists between LEA and Pole Hill (FL85 and below) - Southerly departures file via UPTON avoiding LBA CAS.

4  Procedures for Inbound and Outbound Aircraft
  1. All IFR traffic are to include EGCMZTZX as a flight plan addressee.

5  Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP)
  1. RNP Instrument Approach Procedures at LEA are established in Class G airspace and no approach control service is provided.

  2. All IAPs must have a pre-booked approach time slot from LEA Operations on 01937-534197 which must be adhered to maintain separation.

  3. Initial airborne requests for a procedure slot not accepted, unless in an emergency.

  4. LEA Operations will provide a briefing document relating to the IAP. Pilots are to abide by the procedures in the briefing document when executing the IAP.

  5. For an IVGOB IAF join, permission to transit LBA CAS is required from Leeds Approach.

  6. Squawk 5077 when using EGCM RNP Approach.

  7. Pilot Brief can be found on LEA website (www.leedseastairport.co.uk) for procedures and bookings.

6  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.
