ROCHESTER INFORMATION |
122.255 DOC 10 NM/2,400 FT |
0830-1730 (0730-1630). |
ATZ hours coincident with AFIS hours. |
Not available at night to aircraft requiring to use a licensed runway when relief Runway 02R/20L is in operation.
Aircraft using this aerodrome are required to have third party liability insurance in the sum of at least £1,000,000. Proof of this insurance should be available for inspection at any time whilst the aircraft is at Rochester aerodrome.
Use of the aerodrome is restricted to published hours unless prior permission has been obtained from the aerodrome authority.
Practice Engine Failure at take-off should not be attempted from Runway 02 due to the flight paths over built up areas.
Air training flights, intending to request circuit training, solo students and microlight aircraft are required to obtain prior permission by telephone.
Aerobatic manoeuvres are not permitted unless authorised by the duty manager.
Home based aircraft may be active outside the published hours. Non-home based aircraft should remain clear of the ATZ. Over flights may listen out on frequency and prefix position reports with ‘Rochester Traffic’.
No circuits are permitted outside of published hours.
Fixed wing aircraft are to taxi with caution on prepared and marked areas only.
Pilots must avoid the use of excessive power on the main apron due to poor surface conditions and pedestrian traffic in the vicinity.
No centre-line on main apron. Pilots are responsible for wing tip clearance.
Not applicable
Runway 20R APAPI signals are visible to the east of the extended runway centre-line where normal obstacle clearance is not guaranteed. They should not be used until the aircraft is aligned with the runway extended centre-line.
Runway 02L APAPI signals are visible to the west of the extended runway centre-line where normal obstacle clearance is not guaranteed. They should not be used until the aircraft is aligned with the runway extended centre-line.
APAPI are used at night, inclement weather and when requested.
The proximity of large buildings and topography may cause turbulence and windsheer in some wind conditions.
Pilots are advised that the aerodrome is situated beneath the LTMR of 2500 FT QNH.
Helicopters air taxiing should avoid low flight over the runway maker boards and parked aircraft due to high energy downwash from rotors.
Helicopters landing and taxiing in the northern manoeuvring areas are advised of the close proximity of the main car park and pedestrians.
Rescue and Police helicopter flights may take place outside of published hours day and night without notice.
Not applicable
Circuit training is not available to visitors at weekends, public holidays, and at other times that the aerodrome authority consider appropriate.
All aircraft inbound to or outbound from Rochester 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.
Aircraft should not join the circuit or final approach path below 1000 FT QFE.
Circuit patterns should be flown to the west avoiding the large built up area to the east.
Aircraft taking off should use the full length of the runway, applying take-off power prior to releasing the brakes whenever surface conditions permit.
Aircraft fitted with VP propellers must endeavour to reduce RPM consistent with manufacturers noise abatement advice.
Aircraft departing from Runway 02 to the east are expected to depart via the overhead unless requesting a right hand turn after passing 1500 FT QNH.
Unless making an approach on the PAPIs installed on Runway 02/20 aircraft should adjust their visual approach to maintain a 5° approach angle to the runway threshold.
Circuit direction is variable to avoid flying over built up areas: Runway 20R/L - RH; Runway 02L/R - LH.
Pilots who wish to join the ATS Route Network should flight plan as per the UK SRD.
Rochester ATSU will notify the pending departure to London Terminal Control (LTCC) and will co-ordinate the departure with LTCC or Southend.
Rochester ATSU will issue pilots with after departure instructions and pilots must remain outside of controlled airspace until a clearance to enter controlled airspace has been issued by LTCC or Southend Radar.
Pilots are to ensure they have received and acknowledged a joining clearance before entering controlled airspace.
In order to provide improved ATC handling of flights inbound to Rochester via the ATS Route network a system of standard routes has been established.

A standard overhead join is preferred but other joins may be requested.
Departing Runways 02 to the east via the overhead is preferred but a right turn after passing 1500 FT QFE can be requested.
Departing Runway 20 to the east, aircraft should depart overhead or climb ahead on runway heading until clear of the built up area to the east.
Circuit height is 1000 FT QFE, always flown to the west.
A standard circuit pattern should be flown within the ATZ which is geographically marked to the north and west by the River Medway, turning on to finals at 2 NM.
In the event of complete radio communication failure in an aircraft, the pilot is to adopt the appropriate procedure described at ENR 1.1 paragraph 3.4 until:
Inbound Aircraft: Follow the routes detailed in paragraph 2 for inbound aircraft to leave CAS at LAM (4000 FT or below) or DET (3000 FT or below) as appropriate and proceed to Rochester.
Outbound Aircraft: For the purposes of radio failure, the climb to flight planned level should be commenced after the last position shown in the Standard Departure Routes where an altitude or flight level is specified.
