  5. It is a mandatory requirement that all aircrew and ground staff wear high visibility clothing (minimum standard being a high visibility waistcoat) fastened at all times in external airside areas of the airport.

  6. Pedestrians must use the defined pedestrian walkways when transiting to and from aircraft.

  7. It is the responsibility of the Pilot in Command to ensure that their passengers are escorted by aircrew or ground staff at all times when on foot in external airside areas of the aerodrome.

  8. No smoking airside.

2   Ground Movement
  1. Light aircraft will be directed to the grass parking area in front of Nº 1 Hangar. Parking is on a grid of four rows marked W, X, Y, Z and numbered 1-8 from west to east. All aircraft will be marshalled except Light Aircraft on grass parking areas and based operators, unless advised otherwise by ATS.

  2. When taxiing on the grass, keep to cut grass taxiways. The long grass areas are not inspected and are unfit for manoeuvring.

  3. Compass Base, Class 1, located on Taxiway C. Serviceability of this facility does not affect the availability of the taxiway for taxiing aircraft.

  4. Runway 05/23 Turn Pads 70 M wide - Code D and E aircraft will require maximum nose wheel steering during turn.

3   CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable.

4   Warnings
  1. Caution - Aerial activity takes place outside of aerodrome published hours.

  2. Hangar 23 blocks a large section of Taxiway Alpha from the direct sight of ATC.

  3. Runway 05 - possible turbulence in touch-down area.

  4. Taxiway Alpha, please be aware of taxiing speeds, uncontrolled pedestrian crossings cross this taxiway.

  5. Grass Taxiway November on the right after Holding Point Charlie obscured by holding point sign, follow lead-off line.

  6. Possible glare from car park to the right of Runway 23 approach.

5   Helicopter Operations
  1. Mainly light helicopter training and corporate activity.

  2. Daily Helimed Operations take place outside of aerodrome operating hours.

6   Use of Runways
  1. Arrival and Departure Restriction. No departures permitted below 400 M RVR.

  2. The width at both ends of Runway 05/23 main is twice that delineated by the associated edge lights due to extra pavement at one side. Since runway centre-line lighting is not installed, pilots should ensure that they are correctly lined up, especially if take-off is at night or when the runway is contaminated or in low visibility.

  3. Runway 23 Main, in the event of a go-around, conduct the go-around over the main runway avoiding flying over the dead side.

7   Training

Not applicable.

EGSC AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Pilots using Cambridge Airport should at all times endeavour to ensure that aircraft are operated in a manner which causes least disturbance to inhabited areas in the vicinity; more specifically:
  1. Except when taking off or landing, pilots should avoid flying below 2000 FT (Cambridge QNH) within 3 NM of Cambridge city;

  2. Because of the close proximity of working accommodation, aircraft parked on the Airport terminal apron are not to have APUs running for more than 30 minutes before engine start. An environmental levy of £20 will be charged for every additional 15 minutes APU running time.

Aircraft may be permitted to make visual approaches. Visual approaches will not normally be permitted if the PAPI are unserviceable. All inbound wide-body aircraft should follow IFR procedures.
3   Visual Circuit Height

Unless otherwise instructed by Air Traffic Control the visual circuit height is 1500 FT for all multi-engined types, 1000 FT for other fixed-wing aircraft. All heights QFE.

4   Arrivals
  1. Aircraft approaching asphalt Runway 05/23 without assistance from Radar (or ILS, Runway 23) shall follow a descent path from at least 1000 FT that is no lower than the normal approach path indicated by the PAPI.

  2. All VFR aircraft experiencing radio fail to conduct a go around along the centreline of the duty runway and follow any light signals received from the tower. Avoid flying over the dead-side of the runway.

5   Departures
  1. Asphalt Runway 05

    1. The maximum take-off run available shall always be used by other than light types of aircraft. Light aircraft may start their take-off run from abeam Taxiway D or as instructed by ATC. Aircraft which require a left turn after departure shall avoid Cambridge City until at least 2000 FT AAL.

    2. Aircraft carrying out an Instrument Missed Approach Procedure shall maintain runway heading until at least 1600 FT AAL.

    3. Aircraft which require a right turn after departure and those remaining in the circuit shall, as soon as practicable, but not below 500 FT or within the aerodrome boundary, turn right, unless otherwise directed by ATC.

  2. Asphalt Runway 23

    1. Aircraft which require a right turn after departure shall maintain runway heading until at least 2000 FT AAL.

    2. Aircraft carrying out an Instrument Missed Approach Procedure shall maintain runway heading until at least 1600 FT AAL.

    3. Aircraft which require a left turn after departure and those remaining in the circuit shall, as soon as practicable, but not below 500 FT or within the aerodrome boundary, turn left, unless otherwise directed by ATC.

6   Circuit Directions
  1. The following circuit directions will be adhered to:

    Runway 23 - left hand;

    Runway 05 - right hand.

The above procedures may be departed from at any time to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger.
8   Reverse Thrust

The use of reverse thrust should be kept to a minimum commensurate with operational safety.

9   Helicopter Operations

Routeing to the aerodrome should avoid overflight of, or passing in close proximity to Cambridge City and surrounding villages.

EGSC AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1   Procedures for Inbound Aircraft via the Airways System
  1. Aircraft inbound via the airways system must follow the Stansted Standard Arrival Routes (STAR) as shown at AD 2-EGSS-7-STAR Charts.

  2. Stansted Director will co-ordinate a level at the CAM NDB(L) and will issue the inbound aircraft with a clearance to leave controlled airspace.

2  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft
  1. Preferred Departure Routes- via ATS Route Network

    1. These routes do not constitute Standard Instrument Departures, are not assessed for obstacle clearance and are not contained within controlled airspace.

    2. These routes contain noise abatement requirements.

    3. These routes are subject to amendment by ATC.

    4. ADNAM and EBOTO are clearance limits. Pilots are to ensure that they have received and acknowledged an airways joining clearance before entering controlled airspace.

    5. Pilots departing RWY23 to EBOTO are to ensure that they remain outside the limits of the London TMA to the Southwest of Cambridge in the horizontal and vertical planes (base 4500 FT-5500 FT) and if necessary step-climb to altitude 6000 FT.

    6. Aircraft departing towards ADNAM can expect to be tactically vectored onto their requested route.

    7. Pilots should be aware that IFR departure clearances are not normally available until the aircraft is taxiing for departure.

    8. Loss of communication procedure (outbound aircraft).
      Until a clearance to enter CAS has been received and acknowledged, pilots experiencing radio failure are expected to follow the RTF procedure for IFR aircraft outside controlled airspace (ENR 1.1.3 paragraph 3 refers).

EGSC AD 2.23  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  1. Mode S Barometric Pressure Setting Data

    London Terminal Control has the ability to downlink Mode S Barometric Pressure Setting (BPS) data. Therefore, if the downlinked pressure data is at variance with the BPS expected by Air Traffic Control, pilots can expect additional challenge. When Air Traffic Control pass a reminder of the appropriate BPS, it is anticipated that the aircrew will cross check the altimeter settings and confirm set.

  2. Flight testing activity frequently undertaken at Cambridge. Testing may take place at short notice and some disruption can be expected.

  3. When an aircraft is departing EGSC on an EBOTO, when the pressure is QNH 976 hPa or below, pilots may be issued a non-standard climb, as instructed by ATC.
