EGFH AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations
  1. Use of the aerodrome is subject to the provisions of a document entitled Swansea Airport Limited, Conditions of Use. A copy of this document may be obtained on request to the Airport Manager, at the address specified at AD 2.2.

  2. Aerodrome not available to aircraft unable to communicate via radio with the A/G station.

  3. Information and/or instructions from the Airport Manager may be relayed via A/G. Such messages will be prefixed 'Message from the aerodrome authority...'. Compliance with any relayed instruction is mandatory.

  4. Permission to use the aerodrome either to land or depart, may be withdrawn without notice. Withdrawal of permission may occur due to prevailing weather conditions, if it is considered that the requirements of the airport’s Safety Management System cannot be met.

2  Ground Movement
  1. All aircraft to call for start.

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable

4  Warnings
  1. 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 or nominated deputy.

  2. Each aircraft commander is responsible for the safety of his/her passengers and other crew members. To ensure the safety of passengers and crew members, the aircraft commander or other competent crew member is to supervise and escort passengers whilst airside.

  3. Smoking and use of mobile phones whilst airside is strictly prohibited.

  4. Except for passengers and other persons that are being escorted, the wearing of High Visibility clothing is mandatory for all persons permitted airside access.

5  Helicopter Operations
  1. Helicopter landing spots situated on Apron 1 and adjacent to Holding Point B1.

6  Use of Runways
  1. Runway 10/28 is restricted to aircraft with MTOW 5700 KG or less.

7  Training
  1. Use of the aerodrome by training flights is subject to approval, which may be withdrawn without prior notice. Issue of approval is conditional upon training flights not causing delays to other aircraft and not causing movement area or airspace congestion.

EGFH AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

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

EGFH AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Radio Communication Failure Procedures
  1. If a radio communications failure is experienced after establishment of RTF contact, a standard overhead joining procedure is to be flown for the notified runway in use and circuit direction. If RTF contact has not been established, unless an emergency is experienced which requires immediate landing, the ATZ is not to be entered, and a diversion made to a suitable alternate aerodrome.

2  Circuits
  1. Unless notified by A/G that parachute descents are in progress a standard overhead circuit joining procedure must normally be flown for the notified runway in use and circuit direction. However, a straight-in approach to the notified runway in use may be flown if ‘Swansea Radio’ notify that there is no reported traffic to affect this course of action.

  2. Unless otherwise notified by ‘Swansea Radio’ standard circuit directions are as follows: Runway 10 and 22 - Right Hand; Runway 28 and 04 - Left Hand.

3  Free-fall Parachuting Procedures
  1. Free-fall parachuting takes place overhead the aerodrome. ENR 5.5 refers. A/G will notify when parachute descents are taking place.

  2. Subject to the notified runway in use, one of two parachute landing areas will be used. When Runway 04/22 is in use, the Southern Parachute Landing Area (PLA), located in the south eastern corner of the aerodrome, south of Runway 28 threshold, will be used. When Runway 10/28 is in use, the Northern PLA, located in the northeast corner of the aerodrome, north of Taxiway A, will be used.

  3. Arriving aircraft that have not entered the ATZ are advised to remain outside until notified by A/G that all parachutes have landed. Any aircraft within the ATZ on final approach, requiring to go around, should climb straight ahead and then conform to the notified circuit direction.
