EGFA AD 2.19  RADIO NAVIGATION AND LANDING AIDS

EGFA AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations
  1. While airside each commander is responsible for the safety of his/her passengers and other crew members. Passengers are at all times to be escorted by the aircraft commander or a crew member who is known to be competent to ensure both his/her and the passengers’ safety. The wearing of high visibility clothing when airside is strongly recommended.

  2. Aircraft commanders or crew members, as applicable, are responsible for ensuring that a total ban on smoking while airside is observed.

  3. The carriage of Dangerous Goods, as specified by The Air Navigation (Dangerous Goods) Regulations 2002, is prohibited unless written approval has been issued by the Airport Manager.

  4. Use of the airport by aircraft unable to communicate via RTF, is not permitted.

  5. Permission to use the airport, either to land or depart, may be withdrawn without prior notice. Withdrawal of permission may occur due to prevailing weather conditions, if it is considered that the requirements of the airports safety management system cannot be met.

2  Ground Movement
  1. Runway incursion Hot Spots HS1 and HS2 shown on Aerodrome Chart at AD 2-EGFA-2-1.

  2. During times that AFIS is provided, aircraft intending to depart Runway 07/25 will continue to be subject to instructions after passing the holding points until lined up for departure.

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable.

4  Warnings
  1. Parts of the ATZ are located within Danger Areas EGD201H and EGD202D. Operation of these areas is not continuous and is accordingly notified via NOTAM. Aircraft given permission to use the aerodrome during notified hours of operation of these Danger Areas should use the flight procedures set out at AD 2.22.

  2. Unmanned aircraft flying takes place at the aerodrome, within the ATZ and surrounding Danger Areas. During times that unmanned aircraft are airborne temporary restrictions to manned aircraft flights may be applied. Permission to use the aerodrome during these times will specify conditions which are intended to minimise delays. Unmanned aircraft flying will normally result in Danger Area EGD202D being notified active.

  3. During times that EGD202D is notified active arriving flights are required to contact the current Danger Area managing authority for entry approval. This will be either:

    Aberporth Radar 120.835 MHz; or

    West Wales Radar 127.090 MHz; or

    West Wales Information 122.155 MHz.

  4. During times that unmanned aircraft flying is taking place, support equipment may be present on Runway 07/25 and/or within the runway strip. During times that such equipment is present Runway 07/25 may operate unlicensed.

5  Helicopter Operations
  1. All wheel equipped helicopters are required to land and take-off on the runway.

6  Use of Runways

Runway 04/22 available by prior arrangement for fixed-wing aircraft not requiring use of a licensed runway.

7  Training

Not applicable.

EGFA AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

  1. Aircraft are to be operated in a manner to cause least disturbance in areas surrounding the airport.

  2. Use of Hangar 1 is subject to noise abatement requirements.

    1. No engine ground running is permitted on the paved maintenance area adjacent to the Hangar.

    2. Subject to AFIS approval aircraft are to be towed to a designated location on Taxiway B before engine start up.

    3. Aircraft vacating Runway 07/25 at Taxiway B are to shutdown engine(s) north of Hold B and then towed to Hangar 1.

EGFA AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Circuits
  1. Circuit height is 1000 FT AAL/1424 FT AMSL.

  2. The following circuit directions apply when the specified runway is in use:

    Runways 07 and 04 RH; Runway 25 and 22 LH.

  3. Unless otherwise notified by 'West Wales Information/Radio' a standard circuit joining procedure via overhead the aerodrome is not permitted. The southern lateral limit of Danger Area EGD201H is located approximately 1 NM north of Runway 07/25 centre-line. When notified active, entry into the circuit is to ensure that aircraft avoid entry into the Danger Area. The intended entry point into the circuit should be notified to ’West Wales Information/Radio’.

  4. Wheel equipped helicopters are to land and depart on the runway in use and ground taxi to/from the apron.
