EGGD AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations
  1. Aircraft unable to communicate by radio with ATC will not be accepted.

  2. All flights are at all times subject to PPR. The filing of a flight plan with NATS Ltd does not constitute permission to use Bristol Aerodrome.

  3. Aircraft using Bristol Airport are to carry third party insurance cover of not less than £500,000.

  4. Due to restricted General Aviation parking facilities, operators of inbound General Aviation flights must pre-notify published handling agents with their ETA and duration of stay.

  5. All aircraft operators should submit details of proposed flights and schedules to Airport Co-ordination Ltd, who act as agents on behalf of Bristol for this purpose. Bristol is an IATA Level 3 coordinated airport as defined by IATA and the UK Department for Transport. It is a condition of use of Bristol Airport that operators fully comply with the time allocated by Airport Co-ordination Ltd on behalf of Bristol Airport. Requests for ad-hoc slot allocations during this period, should be made to ACL during working hours 0730-1600, Monday to Friday by SITA: LONACXH; e-mail: lonacxh@acl-uk.org; Tel: 0161-493 1850; or at all other times to Bristol Airport Duty Manager: 01275-473424.

    These applications must include the following information:

    1. Aircraft owner/operator;

    2. aircraft type and registration;

    3. flight number (if applicable);

    4. requested time of arrival and departure at Bristol;

    5. nominated handling agent at Bristol.

    OCS account holders can add, change and cancel slots at any time on the online coordination portal: https://www.online-coordination.com.

  6. Due to limited aircraft stand availability, aircraft wishing to divert to Bristol Airport may not be accepted, except in an emergency.

  7. High visibility clothing must be worn on the apron and manoeuvring area at all times, except for passengers under escort.

  8. Local airside procedures and requirements are available from the Airside Ops webpage: www.bristolairport.co.uk/airside.

2  Ground Movement
  1. A marshaller is required for parking on all stands. Aircraft must wait on the taxiway or apron taxilane until a marshaller is present and gives the correct hand signals to proceed.

  2. Headsets are to be used for all engine start and pushback/departure communications. The only exceptions are thunderstorm warning, aircraft port unserviceability, or failure of the headset after the pushback has started or the training of ICAO hand signals (which are to be used in these situations).

    Flight crew must inform ATC if they are not in, or lose two-way communication with the ground crew. The request for pushback, and issue of pushback instruction is between flight crew and ATC. Flight crew must relay the instruction verbatim to ground crew.

    Before pushback is requested, flight crew must confirm ground crew are ready. This is to ensure the tug driver is able to listen to communication between flight crew and ATC. The tug driver must listen carefully to the pushback instruction and ensure they have understood it. This enables the tug driver to cross check the pushback instruction from ATC to what is communicated by the headset operator.

    If the tug driver has not heard or understood the pushback instruction they must not commence pushback. The flight crew should request that ATC repeat the instruction. The ground crew must not commence pushback if they believe a safety concern exists. Any request for amendment to the pushback instruction, or clarification regarding the instruction shall, in the first instance, be directed to ATC by the flight crew. If further clarification is required or the concern cannot be resolved, assistance from Airside Operations is to be requested.

  3. Aircraft engine runs: Permission to carry out an engine run is required for an aircraft with one or more of the following parameters:

    1. An aircraft equipped with jet engines (including business jets);

    2. any commercial turbo prop engine aircraft;

    3. any aircraft planning a high power engine run;

    4. any out of hours engine run.

    Permission will be given via an authorisation code. To obtain the authorisation code, contact the Airside Operations Department on 01275-473705 in advance of the planned engine run time.

  4. Most grass areas are unsuitable for parking of aircraft.

  5. Bristol Delivery frequency 121.930 MHz may be open during peak daytime hours. 121.930 MHz is not monitored if not operational.

  6. Pilots should request airways or departure clearances prior to start. Clearances are available up to 15 minutes before EOBT.

  7. Code D & E aircraft movements between holding points G3 and Z2 will be provided with a follow-me vehicle.

EGGD AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

  1. In exercise of the powers conferred on it by Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Act 2006, Bristol Aerodrome has established a noise control scheme for the purpose of avoiding and limiting the effect of noise connected with the taking-off or, as the case may be, landing of aircraft at Bristol Aerodrome. The noise control scheme provides as follows:

  2. The following procedures may be departed from only to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger and for complying with ATC instructions.

    1. Operators of all aircraft using the airport Aircraft operators are to ensure that their aircraft conform to they comply with the noise abatement techniques laid down for the type ofir aircraft type and that operations are conducted in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport. Specifically, where possible aircraft operators are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust after landing, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft.

    2. When operating IFR, any aircraft carrying out a visual approach must not join the final approach track at an altitude of less than 2200 FT (QNH).

  3. Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft using the ILS in IMC or VMC shall not descend below the altitude specified in ii) above before intercepting the glide path nor thereafter fly below it. Aircraft approaching without assistance from ILS or radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in its being at any time lower than the approach path which would be followed by an aircraft using the ILS glide path.

  4. The Noise Preferential Routeings (NPR) given below are compatible with ATC requirements and shall apply in both VMC and IMC. The tracks are to be flown by all departing aircraft of more than 5700 KG maximum certified weight, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or unless deviations are required in the interests of safety.

    The NPRs are incorporated in the ATC Standard Instrument Departure procedures (SIDs).

    Take-Off

    Runway

    NPR

    09

    Climb straight ahead to IBON 5.4 NM (IBTS 4.7 NM) DME to be no lower than 3000 FT QNH at this point before commencing the turn.

    27

    Climb straight ahead to IBTS 5.2 NM (IBON 4.5 NM) DME to be no lower than 3000 FT QNH at this point before commencing the turn.

    The obligations of NPRs cease when an altitude of 4000 FT QNH or above has been reached.

  5. Jet aircraft and propeller driven aircraft of more than 5700 KG maximum certificated weight making visual approaches to Runway 27 shall intercept final approach track at:

    1. Not less than 3 DME, from the North;

    2. Not less than 4 DME, from the South.

  6. Continuous Descent Approaches

    Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft are to maintain as high an altitude as practical and adopt a continuous descent profile, when appropriate. ATC will advise pilots of an estimate of the track distance to run to touchdown as soon as possible after first call on the approach frequency.

  7. Aircraft Noise Quota Count System

    Night flying restrictions apply restricting the operations of certain types of aircraft during the periods 2300-0700 (2200-0600). Except in the case of aircraft in distress, all take-offs and landings between these hours are subject to prior application being made to the Airport Co-ordination Ltd. A Night Noise Quota System is in force between 2330-0600 (2230-0500). Full details of the Night Noise Quota System and the night flying restrictions are available from Tel: 01275-475522.

  8. Every aircraft using the airport shall, after take-off or ‘go around’ be operated in the quietest possible manner. Aircraft exceeding 90 dB(A) (103PNdB) by day 0600-2329 (0500-2229) and 85 dB(A) (96PNdB) by night 2330-0559 (2230-0459) at the noise monitoring points located 6.5 KM from the start of roll for Runways 09 and 27 will be subject to a penalty as set out in the airport Fees and Charges.

  9. Pilots and engineers should restrict the use of Auxiliary Power Units (APU) to the minimum time necessary. Between 2330-0559 (2230-0459) except when immediately prior to departure, APUs may only be run subject to approval from Airside Operations. An authorisation code will be required; contact 01275-473705. In addition, stands 38 and 39 have additional restrictions: FEGP is to be the primary source of power for aircraft when on stand. APUs may only be operated on these stands when required for operationally essential aircraft systems, immediately prior to departure.

  10. In order to avoid overflying Felton Village, when departing Runway 09 and requiring to turn left, all aircraft shall climb ahead to 1 NM DME before commencing the left turn.

  11. Light Aircraft Operations

    1. Runway 27

      1. All pilots should arrange their flight so as to minimise noise nuisance.

      2. Circuit direction (to land) is normally left hand.

    2. Runway 09

      1. Practice engine failures after take-off by single engined aircraft are not permitted.

      2. Circuit direction (to land) is normally right hand only. However, ATC may require non-standard circuit direction for traffic integration.

EGGD AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Procedures for Inbound Aircraft
  1. Standard Arrival routes for aircraft inbound from the UK ATS Route network are detailed at AD 2-EGGD-7.

  2. Inbound Procedure other than on ATS Route Network.

    1. VFR and Special VFR aircraft will usually be instructed to route via one of the Visual Reference Points (paragraph 5 refers), not above altitude 2000 FT (aerodrome QNH).

2  Procedure for Outbound Aircraft
  1. Aircraft Outbound via the ATS Route Network

    1. Standard Instrument Departures for aircraft outbound via the UK ATS Route network are detailed at AD 2-EGGD-6.

    2. Aircraft departing on a YORQI or HAWFA SID routeing via L607 requesting a cruising level of FL 110 or above will be expected to maintain climb gradients to achieve FL 110 or above when crossing BUCFA. Pilots of aircraft unable to achieve FL 110 crossing BUCFA must inform ATC for alternative clearance.

    Note: Due to the removal of the BCN DVOR, SIDs as detailed at AD 2-EGGD-6-1 and 6-3 are only available to aircraft that are RNAV 1 compliant.

  2. Aircraft Outbound to the FIR

    1. IFR aircraft wishing to leave the Bristol CTR/CTA to enter the London FIR will be cleared by the most direct route consistent with the current traffic situation.

    2. VFR and Special VFR aircraft will usually be instructed to route via one of the Visual Reference Points, not above 2000 FT (aerodrome QNH).

3  Special VFR Flights
  1. Pilots operating on a Special VFR clearance may be given a radar service whilst within the Bristol CTR/CTA if, due to the traffic situation, ATC considers it advisable. It is the responsibility of the pilot to remain at all times in flight conditions which will enable him to determine his flight path and to keep clear of obstacles and to ensure that he is able to comply with the requirements of SERA.3105 Minimum Heights, SERA.5010 Special VFR in control zones and ENR 1.2 paragraph 1.3(l). Pilots must inform the Radar Controller if compliance with the above entails a change of heading or height.

4  Holding
  1. A 1 minute racetrack procedure, approaching BRI 414 512253N 0024303W on track 095° turning left at the facility.

5  Visual Reference Points (VRP)
  1. Pilots are advised to use caution when routeing via the Bristol VRPs as they are Air Navigation Obstacles with high elevation – See ENR 5.4 dataset for up to date details of ICAO AREA 1 Obstacles.

  2. Aircraft entering the Bristol CTR/CTA via M5 Avon Bridge, Cheddar Reservoir, Clifton Suspension Bridge and Chew Valley VRPs may be required to hold at East Nailsea, Barrow Tanks Reservoirs or Churchill VRPs as appropriate.

  3. 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.

6  Radio Communications Failure Procedure
  1. In the event of complete radio communication failure in an aircraft the pilot will adopt the appropriate procedure notified at ENR 1.1.3. The route to be followed when leaving the CTR/CTA in accordance with this procedure is as follows:

    Position at time of decision

    Route

    BRI 414 512253N 0024303W

    Track 180°(T) at 3000 FT or last assigned level by ATC if higher

7  Frequency Monitoring Code (FMC)
  1. Pilots operating in the vicinity of, but intending to remain outside Bristol controlled airspace, within the area defined by straight lines joining successively the following points and maintaining a listening watch only on Bristol Radar frequency, 125.650 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 5077.
