  2. Non-radio aircraft must contact ATC to obtain prior permission and joining/departure briefing. Tel: 01865-290650.

  3. Passenger embarkation or disembarkation with engines running is prohibited.

  4. High visibility clothing must be worn on all aprons, except for escorted passengers.

  5. When the RVR is below 400 M departures are not permitted unless AOC holders have less restrictive State authorised take-off minima. Take-off will not be permitted if the RVR is less than 350 M.

2  Ground Movement
  1. Maintenance areas have restricted access (specified in terms and conditions of use). Operators must liaise with Oxford Operations to arrange parking, hangarage, if taxiing is permitted or towing required. Maintenance areas are not visible to ATC. Pilots of aircraft taxiing in these areas are solely responsible for the avoidance of collisions with aircraft, vehicles and other obstructions.

  2. Compass swing bay, Class 1, Located at the end of Delta taxiway.

  3. Data Link service available via ARINC.

  4. Due to their tactical nature, departure instructions are not normally available until after the aircraft has taxied.

  5. Jet Aircraft operating under their own power, larger than code B, are not permitted to use the taxiway link at Juliet to MA 1 or MA 2. Aircraft are to be parked on the main apron and towed as required.

  6. Only single and twin piston aircraft are permitted to taxi under their own power beyond holding point Kilo. All other aircraft will be towed to/from the main apron.

  7. Piston aircraft are to perform pre-departure engine runs on Taxiway Alpha (Runway 01 in use) or in the designated run-up area on Taxiway Charlie east of holding point C3 (Runway 19 in use). Aircraft using the Taxiway Charlie run-up area are to pass other running aircraft on the south side of the taxiway then perform their checks on the north side of the taxiway, leaving sufficient space for another aircraft to pass.

  8. All Jet and Turbo-prop maintenance ground runs are to be conducted on the Delta Compass Base. Other locations may be utilised for piston aircraft at ATC discretion. All maintenance ground runs must be booked with Airport Operations.

  9. All aircraft operating on the Main Apron are reminded to use minimum power when manoeuvring.

3  CAT II/III Operations
  1. Oxford is not equipped for Cat II/III operations, however LVPs are used to protect Cat I operations.

    1. Departures: Pilots must be ready for immediate departure before lining up. If unable, pilots must inform ATC prior to line up.

    2. Landing: Due to limited runway exits all pilots must spend ’minimum time on the runway’ and vacate without delay to expedite traffic flow.

  2. Runway 19 will be selected as the runway in use with up to a 5 KT tailwind. Requests for runway 01 must be made to ATC as early as possible.

  3. Controllers may issue a ’land after’ instruction. Pilots unable to accept, must inform ATC and await a full landing clearance, or initiate a go around.

7  Training
  1. Instrument approaches and circuit training slots can be requested on the day (not less than 15 MIN notice) via ATC (01865-290650).

  2. All training flights must be booked prior to departure. Non-adherence to slot times may result in refusal of flight.

EGTK AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

  1. Pilots are to avoid overflying the surrounding residential areas, including Blenheim Palace, except where there is an overriding training or flight safety requirement.

  2. After departing from Runway 01, climb ahead to 1000 FT QNH or 1.0 DME I OXF, whichever is the earliest, before turning on course. Pilots carrying out visual departures should endeavour to complete this turn before reaching the Mercury Satellite Station (at 1.5 NM). When turning right, pilots are to avoid overflying the village of Shipton-on-Cherwell.

  3. After departing from Runway 19, climb straight ahead to 1000 FT QNH or 1 DME I OXF, whichever is the earliest, before turning right. Aircraft intending to turn left, climb ahead to 1.5 DME I OXF (IFR) or until south of Yarnton Village (VFR), remaining clear, in all cases, of the Brize Norton CTR.

  4. Whenever possible aircraft joining the circuit should, subject to ATC approval, plan to join on a base leg, giving way to traffic already established in the circuit. Straight in approaches are to be co-ordinated with ATC by no later than 10 NM so as not to conflict with published instrument final approach tracks.

  5. Helicopter traffic is subject to standard arrival and departure procedures and routes.

  6. Oxford Airport operates a noise amelioration scheme. A copy is available from Airport Operations.

  7. Additional guidance and circuit diagrams are available on the Oxford Airport Website: https://www.oxfordairport.co.uk/noise-abatement/.

    Direction Route
    NorthHON / PEPUL - BUGUP - OX
    EastCPT / KENET - BUGUP - OX
    SouthCPT / KENET - BUGUP - OX
    WestCONKO - OX
  7. RUNWAY 01 ARRIVALS: The final approach track to Runway 01 transits Brize Norton CAS and is subject to approval from Brize ATC. Pilots must not plan or expect a no delay straight in approach to Runway 01 due to the requirement to co-ordinate with and deconflict from Brize Norton traffic. All approaches to Runway 01 will be as directed by ATC.

3  ATS Service Provision
  1. IFR/VFR arrivals operating outside CAS must establish two-way contact with Oxford Approach/Radar no later than 10 MIN flying time or 10 NM range from Oxford.

  2. Departing aircraft should inform ATC prior to being airborne which ATC service they will be requesting on departure (deconfliction, traffic, procedural or basic, as appropriate for their requirements).

  3. Arriving aircraft should state on first contact what type of service they require (deconfliction, traffic, procedural or basic, as appropriate). Aircraft requiring a deconfliction service may incur delays during the promulgated radar hours due to intense GA and glider flying within the vicinity of the aerodrome.

  4. During Hours of Radar Operation

    1. VFR departures and arrivals will normally be provided with Basic Service unless another type of service is requested. Departures requesting radar services are to make this request on the ground before departure.

    2. IFR departures and arrivals will normally be provided with surveillance services in so far as practical. Departures and arrivals are to state requested service on first contact with Oxford Radar.

  5. Hours of Radar Closure

    1. VFR departures and arrivals will be provided with Basic Service.

    2. IFR departures and arrivals will be provided with Procedural Service. Pilots are reminded that delays may be expected in order to separate from other IFR flights.

  6. Air Tests

    1. Operators wishing to perform an air test inside CAS receiving a service from Swanwick (Mil) (off the main ATS structure) should follow the notification procedure in ENR 1.1, Section 4.8. Oxford ATC must be notified on booking out that this process has been completed.

    2. Operators wishing to perform an air test inside CAS (using the main ATS structure) should follow the notification procedure in ENR 1.1, Section 4.9. Oxford ATC must be notified on booking out that this process has been completed.

    3. Operators wishing to perform an air test outside CAS should notify Oxford ATS on booking out of an ATS provider and any prior arrangements made. ATS provision must be requested at least 2 hours before EOBT and is subject to controller workload and capacity.

4  Instrument Approach Procedures
  1. CAUTION: Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) for Oxford are established outside controlled airspace. See ENR 1.5.

  2. Auto-coupled approaches are not permitted.

  3. Pilots may experience glidepath fluctuations within 1.0 DME IOXF.

5  Frequency Monitoring Code (FMC)
  1. During the hours of Oxford Radar operation, pilots operating in the vicinity of Oxford Airport within the area defined by the following points and maintaining a listening watch only on Oxford Radar frequency, 125.090 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 4517.

    514352N 0010616W - 514149N 0005911W
    thence anti-clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 15 NM centred on 515013N 0011912W to
    513530N 0012344W
    thence clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 30 NM centred on 511631N 0004639W to
    514352N 0010616W.

  2. Selection of 4517 does not imply the receipt of an ATC service. Aircraft displaying the code are not expected to contact ATC under normal circumstances, remain responsible for their own navigation, separation, terrain clearance and are expected to remain clear of controlled airspace at all times.

  3. Whilst squawking 4517 pilots should be aware that Oxford Radar may make blind transmissions in order to ascertain a particular aircraft's intentions/route.

  4. When a pilot ceases to maintain a listening watch, code 4517 shall be deselected.

  5. Pilots operating in this area but within 5 NM of the edge of the Brize Norton CTR may choose to maintain a listening watch on Brize Radar (LARS) on channel, 124.280 and select SSR code 3727.
