Remarks

Pilots are cautioned that Taxiways A and C are not suitable for use by aircraft whose wheelbase exceeds 18 M and whose wheelspan is greater than 9.1 M.

Taxiway E is suitable for aircraft whose wheelbase is less than 7.5 M and wingspan less than 18 M and is available at night. Aircraft with a wingspan in excess of 20 M must be under tow. All aircraft using Taxiway E must exercise extreme caution due to the reduced obstacle clearances and vehicle movements.

Taxiway F is suitable for aircraft up to 7.5 M wheelbase. Foxtrot 1 is not available at night. All aircraft using Taxiway F must exercise caution due to vehicle and helicopter movements.

Taxiway G is suitable for use by code C aircraft to access the engine run and compass base facilities. Code D aircraft may use the taxiway by prior arrangement under tow.

The grass parking is ordinarily available for use between April and October by light aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 12 M. Operators of light aircraft who cannot use the grass are requested to advise Flight Briefing prior to arrival so that appropriate parking arrangements can be made.

EGTE AD 2.9  SURFACE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND MARKINGS

1

Use of aircraft stand ID signs, TWY guide lines and visual

docking/parking guidance system of aircraft stands

All main apron stands are parking with marshaller guidance. No aircraft must enter a stand without being under positive marshaller control. If a marshaller is not present advise ATC and hold on the apron taxiway.

Into wind parking is available dependent upon the wind direction and stand availability (ACFT may be required to hold for suitable parking). Requests for into wind parking should be made as early as possible via Exeter Dispatch or ATC in advance of arrival. Pilots are to ensure that minimum power is used when taxiing away from any into wind parking stand and are to turn as soon as practically possible to enter the apron taxiway.

Pilots are cautioned, that all stands have an upward incline towards the South, which may necessitate the use of increased power when taxiing on to stand on Stands 4–6 and especially when operating under single engine manoeuvres.

  9. Parachuting and aerobatics are not permitted at the aerodrome and prior permission must be granted by the aerodrome authority for any parachuting and aerobatic activities within the aerodrome traffic zone.

  10. Aircraft using Exeter Airport do so in accordance with the aerodromes conditions of use, a copy of which is available on application or via the aerodrome website.

  11. It is a requirement that every airline using Exeter Airport have local orders compatible with the aerodrome Emergency Orders. Airlines, General Aviation operators and Flying Clubs should also note that it is their responsibility to recover disabled aircraft and aircraft wreckage and have appropriate arrangements in place before commencing flying operations into the aerodrome. The aerodrome will act as the coordinating body throughout the recovery operation and has only very limited equipment which might be used to salvage disabled aircraft.

  12. Banner towing by aircraft is not permitted.

  13. Smoking airside is prohibited.

2  Ground Movement

  1. All aircraft parked on the main apron are required to start under marshallers instructions.

  2. All pilots must state their location on the aerodrome when requesting start up.

  3. Pushback Procedures:

    1. Pilots should give full callsign, type, parking area/apron and/or stand number.

    2. Pilots should only request pushback when the tug and push crew are connected to the aircraft and they are actually ready to do so.

    3. Pilots are required not to illuminate aircraft anti-collision beacons until such a time as a start-up/pushback approval has been received from ATC, and when parked on the main apron, positive communication with ground personnel has been achieved.

    4. Pilots must ensure that they are in receipt of a pushback clearance from ATC on the tower frequency before allowing ground crew to pushback the aircraft onto a taxiway from any location.

    5. Aircraft pushback from aprons must be conducted so that the aircraft is facing the intended direction of travel as instructed by ATC. All code D aircraft or higher parked on a numbered stand will be pushed back onto the apron taxiway to face west and expect to use Taxiway Bravo.

    6. Aircraft pushing back must at all times be in communication (voice/hand signals) with an EDAL approved marshaller. Based aircraft maintenance companies are included within this approval. In the event that a non-standard pushback is required by flight crew, this must be approved in advance of the aircraft doors being closed by Airfield Operations.

  4. During low visibility when the reported prevailing or minimum visibility, or touchdown IRVR decreases below 800 M stop bars will be illuminated at holding points Alpha 1, Bravo 1 and Charlie 1. Runway protection barriers shall be deployed on all other runway holding points to prevent unauthorised access to the runway. Any pilot wishing to depart from the North Apron during such circumstances must advise ATC minus 15 minutes of requesting start-up clearance, so that arrangements can be made to temporarily allow access for departure. When the reported prevailing or minimum visibility, or touchdown IRVR decreases below 400 M, for aircraft on the south side of the airfield the preferential departure runway is Runway 08 via holding point Alpha 1 (holding point Bravo 1 for code D/E aircraft). If Runway 26 is required (operational necessity only), aircraft on the Main Apron must be using taxiway Bravo. For aircraft on the north side of the airfield the preferential departure runway is Runway 26, via holding point Echo 1 or holding point Golf from the North Apron. Pilots are advised that increased separation and movement restrictions may also apply during such conditions.

  5. Code C or higher aircraft are not permitted to carry out 180 degree turns on Runway 08/26 between the runway thresholds. All code C or higher types must use the Runway 08 loop or the Runway 26 turning circle as applicable.

  6. When operational, the grass taxiway from Runway 08/26 to the grass parking is available as instructed for vacating the runway only. Aircraft departing the grass parking will be instructed to do so via the exit onto taxiway Charlie and then to the appropriate holding point for the runway in use.

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable

4  Warnings

  1. Light aircraft should be aware of the elevated runway lights and PAPI for Runway 08/26.

  2. Pilots are advised that bird concentrations may be present in agricultural and construction areas on approaches to runways and in the vicinity of the aerodrome. Deterrent measures within the airport boundary are carried out by a Bird Control Unit and pilots may be requested by ATC to delay departure or arrival if bird concentrations within the BCU’s area of control prove difficult to disperse.

  3. Pilots are warned, when landing on Runway 26, of the possibility of Terrain/Building induced turbulence and wind shear effects.

  4. Gliding, parachuting, light aircraft and microlights operate at Dunkeswell and North Hill aerodromes (10 NM NE EGTE).

  5. Aircraft in the Dunkeswell ATZ may operate less than 5 NM north of the Final Approach Track to Runway 26. Deconfliction minima against this uncoordinated traffic cannot be guaranteed. Pilots should expect late warning of aircraft leaving the Dunkeswell ATZ and deconfliction minima may not be achieved.

  6. To ensure safe operations and obstacle clearance, aircraft nose wheels are to always be aligned with taxiway centre-line whilst taxiing or under tow. Where the taxiway width is less than the paved surface width, the portions outside the double yellow taxi side stripe markings are not maintained and shall not be used by aircraft. Pilots are cautioned that the width of Taxiway Alpha and Charlie varies from 15.1 M to 18.5 M and does not in all cases meet outer main wheel gear span criteria of DH4 aircraft and are to ensure that the aircraft nose wheels are always aligned with taxiway centre-line.

  7. Pilots are warned that unauthorised ground based laser lights have been directed towards aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome. All incidents should be reported immediately via the Tower to the Airport Authority.

  8. Pilots are cautioned of increased helicopter activity between Echo 1 and Foxtrot 1 and should remain vigilant at all times. ATC may hold taxiing aircraft on Echo and Foxtrot to allow priority helicopter departures.

  9. Pilots are warned of helicopter activity in and out of the RD and E Hospital situated on the final approach to Runway 08 at 3.25 NM from touchdown.

  10. Pilots are advised that grass areas adjacent to paved aprons are not to be used for aircraft manoeuvring or parking.

  11. Pilots are advised that the drains located along the eastern edge of the South Apron are not weight bearing and all manoeuvring/parking must be to the west of the double yellow taxi side stripe markings at all times.

  12. Any instructed turn on the runway is to be made with caution and in between the side stripe markings. Pilots are cautioned that elevated runway edge lighting is installed on the pavement edge outside of the side stripe.

  13. Building construction works involving the use of various tall equipment will be taking place in the vicinity north east of Exeter Airport until 31 December 2024.

    1. The operating area is bounded by lines joining the following points: 504501N 0032357W - 504511N 0032213W - 504537N 0032251W - 504516N 0032409W. Up to a maximum height of 115 FT AGL 220 FT AMSL.

    2. Operating hours are Monday to Friday between 0800-1800 (0700-1700). Outside of these hours all tall equipment will be lowered.

5  Helicopter Operations

  1. A designated area for light helicopters requiring AVGAS 100LL is available at the existing installation. Helicopters will only be permitted to land in this area during daylight hours and provided that there are no other aircraft using the pumps. ATC will designate an area for helicopters to hold if the pumps are in use.

  2. Helicopters must approach the AVGAS installation from the northeast. When landing, helicopters must align with the ‘H’ facing west. Before refuelling commences, pilots must ensure that rotor blades are aligned with the fuselage, or so positioned as to not infringe taxiway C. Caution must be used at all times when manoeuvring in this area.

  3. No rotors running refuels may take place on the airport from the airport authorities fuel bowsers, with the exception of those aircraft on SAR/Ambulance tasks, in accordance with the airports operational instructions available from the refuelling manager, Tel: 01392-354931.

  4. Helicopters inbound/outbound are to avoid over flying airport buildings whenever possible.

  5. Helicopters advised to park on an apron south of Runway 08/26 or on parking areas accessed via Taxiway Golf, will be directed by ATC to approach via the main runway, then to ground/air taxi to the allocated apron area and park under marshaller’s instructions. Upon departure, helicopters parked on these apron areas will ground/air taxi from the allocated stand as directed by ATC to Runway 08/26 prior to lift off. It is required that helicopters with wheels will at all times ground taxi from/to the runway and pilots are to advise ATC prior to landing/or upon start up if this is not achievable due to aircraft specifications. Helicopters with a MTOW of less than 5000 KG may at times be advised to approach from the northern airfield boundary and land directly on the North Apron under marshaller’s instruction.

6  Use of Runways

  1. When the surface wind is calm or light and variable, Runway 26 is the preferential runway. When Runway 08 is the runway-in-use, pilots should note that other aircraft may require Runway 26 for departure, due to performance limitations.

  2. Pilots of light aircraft must advise ATC if a backtrack for departure from a taxiway intersection is required.

  3. When the reported met visibility decreases below 400 M, for aircraft on the south side of the airfield the preferential departure Runway is 08 via holding point Alpha 1 (holding point Bravo 1 for code D/E aircraft). If Runway 26 is required (operational necessity only), aircraft on the main apron must be using taxiway Bravo. For aircraft on the north side of the airfield the preferential departure Runway is 26, via holding point Echo 1 or holding point Golf from the North Apron. Pilots are advised that increased separation and movement restrictions may also apply during such conditions.

7  Training

  1. Aircraft using the aerodrome for instrument training and circuits must book slots by telephone to ATC (01392-354917). CCT height 1000 FT AAL, variation on request to ATC.

  2. Training by jet aircraft over 5700 KG may be denied after 2000 (1900).

  3. Training by any aircraft after 2200 (2100) may be denied.

  4. When Runway 08 is in use, training aircraft are expected to hold at TOMPO (504243N 0033319W). Holding at NDB 'EX' may be available for training aircraft but approaches from 'EX' may be subject to delay.

EGTE AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Aircraft using the aerodrome will be required to conform to the following procedures notwithstanding that these procedures may 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 airport, particularly the City of Exeter.

  2. Unless otherwise required in the appropriate instrument approach procedure or otherwise instructed by ATC, inbound aircraft shall maintain as high an altitude as practicable and shall maintain at least 1000 ft aal, until commencing descent on final approach. An aircraft approaching without assistance from radar shall follow a descent path no lower than the normal approach path indicated by the PAPIs.

  3. Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, all jet aircraft and propeller aircraft whose MTWA exceeds 5700 kg shall after take-off from:

    1. Runway 26 climb on runway heading at the maximum rate compatible with safety to 1000 ft aal and then turn as soon as possible to avoid the City of Exeter.

    2. Runway 08 climb at the maximum rate compatible with safety to 1500 ft aal before turning.

  4. For visual approaches, or following a visual circuit, to Runway 26 the following limitations apply:

    1. Jet aircraft shall not join the final approach at a height of less then 1500 ft aal;

    2. Propeller driven aircraft whose MTWA exceeds 5700 kg shall not join the final approach at a height of less than 1000 ft aal.

    Aircraft flying a visual approach should intercept the final approach track at a level not less than that equivalent to a 3.5° glide path at the intercept range. Final approach should be flown at not less than a nominal 3.5° glide path.

  5. Auxiliary Power Units (APU).

    APUs may only be operated for a maximum of one hour, or started thirty minutes prior to departure and not without the permission of the aerodrome operator. Aircraft with rear ventral airstairs must shut down APUs immediately after arriving on stand. Ground Power Units (GPU) will be supplied where required.

  6. Light aircraft should avoid overflying the villages of Clyst Honiton, Broadclyst, Whimple, West Hill, Aylesbeare and Farringdon whenever possible or as otherwise directed by ATC.

  7. Continuous Descent Approaches

    1. Jet and turbo-prop aircraft are expected to apply continuous descent, low power, low drag approach techniques whenever possible.

    2. Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft are to maintain as high an altitude as practical and adopt a low power, low drag, continuous descent approach profile. ATC will provide estimated track distance to touchdown to allow pilots to descend at a rate they judge best suited to achieve continuous descent without using more power or drag than necessary. The object will be to join the glidepath at the appropriate height for the distance without level flight.

    3. ATC will provide range checks. Pilots who require additional track mileage to facilitate a successful CDA should inform ATC as soon as possible

EGTE AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Instrument Approach Procedures

  1. Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) for this aerodrome are established outside controlled airspace. See ENR 1.5.

2  Visual Reference Points (VRP)

  1. 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.

3  Procedure for Inbound Flights

  1. IFR Arrivals and Overflights

    1. Arrivals are to establish communications with ATC at least 10 minutes prior to ETA at NDB(L) EX, whenever possible, stating what type of service they require (deconfliction, traffic or basic, as appropriate).

  2. VFR Arrivals and Overflights

    1. Joining, or overflight instructions, may be issued with a level restriction e.g. 'Not below 1500 FT', in order to facilitate integration into the circuit or to assist in deconflicting from other traffic. Such a restriction does not absolve pilots from any requirement they may have to remain in VMC at all times and pilots must advise ATC if unable to comply with the level restriction.

    2. Arriving or overflying VFR flights should avoid the instrument approach let-down areas and the departure climb outs at all times, unless ATC have indicated there is no traffic to affect. ATC may suggest a route or track to assist pilots in this, which may also be combined with a level restriction.

    3. Overflying VFR aircraft are advised that the area to the immediate east and west of Exeter Airport is where holding patterns are established. They are frequently used by aircraft flying according to IFR.

4  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft

  1. VFR Departures

    1. VFR departures may be requested to fly a route to assist in deconflicting traffic and aid circuit integration; e.g. 'Depart to the south east, due instrument traffic'. Such restrictions will be removed by ATC as soon as is practicable, and do not absolve pilots from any requirement they may have to remain in VMC at all times. Pilots must advise ATC if unable to comply with a level or routing request.

    2. Aircraft on local flights (departing and landing back at Exeter) should specify either the cardinal or intermediate track they wish to fly on departure on either book-out or first contact with ATC (i.e. ‘local to north-west…’).

  2. IFR Departures

    1. IFR departures should inform ATC prior to departure which ATC service they will be requesting on departure, i.e. deconfliction, traffic or basic, as appropriate for their requirements.

    2. IFR departure clearances are available before start and pushback.

    3. Flight plans filed direct to SAM may be subject to a route change via GIBSO.
