  5. Newcastle Aerodrome aprons are a 24 hour mandatory High Visibility Clothing Area. All flight crews are to wear High Visibility clothing for all ramp activities, except when direct bussing to/from aircraft steps and terminal or when walking via delineated passenger walkways.

  6. All General Aviation are required to nominate a handling agent, especially prior to filing a flight plan to arrive from outside the UK. Failure to do so will result in the provision of a security escort for which a charge will be levied. The exceptions to the above are as follows:

    1. Newcastle based operators. In this instance it will be the captain's responsibility to present to the Control Authorities any non-EC national as well as any other person required to be presented in accordance with current UK regulations.

    2. All visiting General Aviation aircraft, less than 5700 KG MTOW, are strictly subject to PPR and compulsory handling. Pilots must obtain a PPR reference prior to arrival from Samson Aviation (0191-286 4156) indicating the purpose of the visit and parking requirements.

  7. Parking outside delineated areas is contrary to the byelaws.

  8. Fixed Electrical Ground Power must be used wherever available and serviceable.

2  Ground Movement

  1. General

    1. All requests for clearance, push-back, start-up and taxi should be made directly with ATC (The ATIS shall state the appropriate frequency). Directions issued by ATC should be followed precisely. RTF transmissions must be brief, concise and kept to a minimum.

    2. Outbound aircraft, on first contact with Newcastle ATC, should state aircraft type, stand number, ATIS code letter, QNH received, and then maintain a listening watch at all times.

    3. Clearance is available for departing aircraft no earlier than 20 minutes before EOBT, on the appropriate frequency.

    4. Data link Departure Clearance (DCL):

      1. Pre-departure clearance via datalink (ARINC or SITA) is available at Newcastle for suitably equipped aircraft flight planned via GIRLI P18, or BAVDO/ERKIT N110;

      2. Requests for DCL should be submitted no earlier than 20 minutes before EOBT.

    5. Pilots should only request push back (with tug attached) when they are actually ready to do so and should be in direct communication with the tug crew via a headset person, ATC must be informed if no direct communication with a headset person is available.

    6. Flights subject to CTOT may request to push-back and tow to wait in a remote position/stand, such requests shall be made to ATC upon the appropriate frequency.

  2. Ground Movement Restrictions

    1. Holding Point D2 is restricted to aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 36 M.

    2. Taxiway E is restricted to aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 17 M, larger aircraft should be towed with caution.

    3. Taxiway F is restricted to aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 27.5 M, aircraft upon the GA Apron with a wingspan greater than 16 M shall park stands 53 or 54, South of stand 53 the maximum wingspan is 16 M, further reducing to 12 M within the West Apron.

    4. Aircraft classified as Code E and higher (with the exception of B787-8) should not use the angled turn offs at TWY B and TWY C (Hold CW) to vacate the runway after landing.

3  CAT II/III Operations

  1. Runways 07 and 25, subject to serviceability of the required facilities, are suitable for Category ll/lll operations by operators whose minima have been accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority.

  2. During Category ll/lll operations, special ATC procedures (ATC Low Visibility Procedures) will be applied. Pilots will be informed when these procedures are in operation by ATIS broadcast or by RTF.

  3. In the event of IRVR equipment being unserviceable, reported MET visibility shall be passed.

  4. Departing aircraft: ATC shall require departing aircraft to use the following CAT II/III holding points:

    • Runway 07 A2

    • Runway 25 D3 or D2 (D2 when instructed by ATC)

    • Holding Point G although not designated CAT II/III, the holding point is the required 137 M from the runway centre-line.

    • Occasionally, it may be necessary for other holding points to be used at the discretion of ATC.

  5. Arriving aircraft: Appropriate runway exits shall be illuminated. Pilots should select the first convenient exit unless advised by ATC.

  6. When Low Visibility Procedures are in force a much reduced landing rate can be expected due to the requirement for increased spacing between arriving aircraft. In addition to the prevailing weather conditions, such factors as equipment serviceability may also have an effect on actual landing rates.

4  Warnings

  1. Gliding takes place at Currock Hill gliding site, 8 NM south-west of Newcastle Aerodrome. ATC will advise when active via RTF and/or ATIS.

  2. CAT I Localiser fluctuations are likely should the preceding landing aircraft vacate at the end.

  3. Vehicular Operations taxiway Echo / Golf, aircraft should exercise caution when taxiing and be mindful of the vehicle crossing point upon taxiway Echo and Golf.

  4. The grass verges along the sides of the runway and taxiways are soft in many places. Pilots are to exercise caution when taxiing.

  5. When Runway 25 is in use and the wind direction is from 160° through south to 190°, pilots should expect wind disturbance and possible negative gradient.

  6. Possible bird activity from nature reserve north of the NT NDB(L), 1.2 NM from Runway 25 touchdown and woodland area North of the aerodrome perimeter abeam the Fire Station.

  7. Erosion strip along the edges of the runway (beyond the slot drain) have limited load bearing strength.

  8. When a high pressure system is giving way to a low the wind aloft can be from the south or southwest whilst the surface wind still favours Runway 07. There is an increased risk of a rushed approach onto Runway 07; contributory factors are being held high, tailwind during descent and engine anti-ice required during descent through cloud (icing). A sea breeze due to the sun’s warming overland can also have the same effect.

5  Helicopter Operations

  1. Helicopters must use the runway for take-off and landing, unless specific instruction issued by ATC not to use the runway.

  2. Three helicopter parking areas are provided. Two are located on the general aviation apron and are designated ‘P-East’ and ‘P-West’. Stand 54 is a multi-use stand and helicopters may be marshalled. Skid equipped helicopters must utilise P-East or P-west as no hover taxi permitted beyond these stands – Ground taxi only. Helicopters operations from taxiway Echo restricted to based operators.

  3. Helicopters operating TO/FROM sites within the CTR:

    1. Flight Details - Prior to lifting, the pilot shall book out with Newcastle ATC, preferably via telephone at least ten minutes prior to lift. Note: The act of booking out does NOT constitute a zone clearance. Clearance must be obtained via RTF from Newcastle ATC.

    2. Operation - Outbound

      • The pilot must: Lift into the hover to a height of not greater than 200 FT AGL and obtain zone clearance. Only when a clearance has been received, can the flight set course subject to Newcastle ATC Instruction.

    3. Operation - Inbound

      • Contact should be made, where possible, with Newcastle Radar at least 5 minutes flying time from the CTR or CTA boundary requesting clearance to enter CAS. The pilot shall report when descending into the landing site. It should be noted that after this report has been made, no further action will be initiated by ATC, for instance incident/accident, unless information to the contrary is received. If no acknowledgement is received from Newcastle ATC, then the pilot must telephone ATC as soon as practical after landing.

6  Use of Runways

  1. Variable circuit as advised by ATC.

  2. Aircraft exiting via Bravo and Charlie should do so at speeds of 25 KT or less.

7  Training

  1. Operators intending to follow a programme of training flights should obtain prior approval from the Chief Executive.

  2. Training flights.

    1. Training flights may only take place by prior arrangement with ATC and only between Mon-Sat 0730-2300 (0630-2200), Sun 1000-2300 (0900-2200).

    2. ATC must be advised of any cancellations. Any sortie delayed by 30 minutes or more will be deemed to have been cancelled.

    3. No flying training, including training circuits, missed approaches and landings, is permitted between 1200-1500 during the period 1 May until 30 September. The single take-off or full stop landing of an aircraft on a training flight may be permitted. Local sorties will also be restricted during these times. Outside of these times training and local sorties will be permitted subject to ATC priorities.

    4. Asymmetric flight must not be carried out without the permission of ATC.

    5. The filing of a flight plan for a training detail does not constitute acceptance.

    6. Flight training is not permitted during Low Visibility Operations (LVOs).

  3. All training flights by aircraft above 12,000 KG MTWA and all turbo-jet or turbo-fan aircraft shall be subject to the following conditions:

    1. Circuits shall be at a minimum of 2000 FT QNH except for aircraft having an MTWA of 95,000 KG or greater, when they shall be at a minimum of 2300 FT QNH;

      1. Circuits will be variable in direction, left or right hand, in accordance with ATC instructions.

      2. Aircraft are to be flown in such a manner as to avoid built-up areas in the vicinity of the aerodrome.

      3. All training aircraft carrying out circuits or making a missed approach from a visual circuit to either runway are required to comply with the Noise Preferential Routeings.

      4. Training flights will not be given priority over essential aerodrome maintenance work.

EGNT AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

All aircraft inbound to, and outbound from or local flying at this aerodrome are required to conform to the following procedures, notwithstanding that these may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger:

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

  2. Continuous Descent Approaches
    Subject to ATC instructions, inbound jet aircraft are to maintain as high an altitude as practicable and adopt a low power, low drag continuous descent profile, when appropriate. Turbo-jet and turbo-prop aircraft are expected to apply continuous descent, low power, low drag approach techniques at all times. ATC shall provide regular range checks. Pilots who require additional track mileage to facilitate a successful CDA should inform ATC as soon as the requirement is apparent.

  3. Aircraft approaching without assistance from radar or ILS shall follow a descent path which will result in the aircraft not being at any time lower than the approach path which would be followed by aircraft using the ILS glide path.

  4. Aircraft must not join the final approach track to either runway at a range of less than 7 NM and not below altitude 2000 FT except when instructed by ATC, unless they are propeller driven aircraft with an MTWA of between 5700 KG and 12,000 KG when restriction shall be to join the final approach to either runway at not less than 3.5 NM and not below altitude 1300 FT. Aircraft whose MTWA is less than 5700 KG must not join the circuit below altitude 1300 FT.

  5. To minimise disturbance in areas adjacent to the aerodrome, Captains are required to avoid the use of reverse thrust above idle power on landing, consistent with the safe operation of aircraft between the hours of 2300-0700 (2200-0600).

  6. Noise Preferential Routings – The Noise Preferential Routings specified in the following table are compatible with ATC requirements and the tracks are to be flown by all departing jet aircraft and by all other departing aircraft of more than 5700 KG MTWA unless authorised by ATC or unless deviations are required in the interest of safety. The NPRs are incorporated into the Standard Instrument Departure (SIDs) and Omnidirectional departures.

5  Special VFR Flight

  1. Special VFR clearance for flights within the Control Zone may be requested and may be given in accordance with the rules applicable to Class D airspace.

  2. Pilots are reminded that it is their responsibility when operating on a Special VFR Clearance to remain at all times clear of cloud and in sight of the surface and in flight conditions which will enable them to determine their flight path and ensure that they comply with SERA.3105 Minimum Heights and the relevant parts of SERA.5001 VMC Visibility and Distance from Cloud Minima, SERA.5005 Visual Flight Rules and Rules of the Air Regulations 2015. Pilots must inform the radar controller if compliance with these requirements entails a change of heading or level.

  3. Pilots are reminded that a Special VFR clearance applies only to flight within the CTR and does not extend to flight within the surrounding airspace.

  4. Special VFR flight may be subject to delay.

  5. In order to reduce conflict with IFR flights, Special VFR arriving/departing flights will normally be cleared not above a specified altitude and to route via a published VRP.

6  Gliders

  1. Local gliding activity takes place at Currock Hill. See note at AD 2.20

  2. Newcastle ATC provides a service to gliders requesting clearance to enter the Borders / Newcastle CTA North of UVAVU below FL120.

7  Visual Reference Points (VRP)

  1. Use of Bolam Lake, Derwent Reservoir and Ouston (Disused Aerodrome) VRPs is not recommended at night.

  2. 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.

8  Frequency Monitoring Code (FMC)

  1. Pilots operating in the vicinity of, but intending to remain outside the Newcastle controlled airspace within the area defined by straight lines joining successively the following points and maintaining a listening watch only on Newcastle Radar frequency, 124.380 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 3737.

    550321N 0010315W - 544746N 0012813W -
