EGNE AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1  Airport Regulations

  1. AD not available to aircraft unable to communicate by radio with A/G station unless specifically arranged.

  2. Pilots, other aircrew, engineers and those working in airside areas are required to wear a high visibility vest or jacket at all times whilst accessing the ramp, apron and hangars. Passengers and visitors accessing these areas are required to be escorted at all times by a competent individual wearing a high visibility vest or jacket.

  3. Engine testing or high power engine runs by turbine or jet aircraft must only be carried out in the space provided near holding point C. Aircraft conducting engine testing or high power engine runs must maintain radio communication with Gamston Radio on 130.480 MHz for the duration of testing.

  4. Large turboprop and jet aircraft may join downwind left-hand for Runway 20 and downwind right-hand for Runway 02, when there is traffic to affect in the established circuit, for separation purposes. Gamston Radio can advise on reported traffic.

  5. The airport is strictly PPR for all non-based aircraft. PPR can be obtained via telephone or via the website. Aircraft must obtain confirmation that PPR has been accepted before departing for the AD. Airborne PPRs aren’t accepted.

2  Ground Movement

  1. Access to and from Runway 02/20 is via points A, B and C only. Other paved taxiways are unusable / not available for use by aircraft.

3  CAT II/III Operations

Not applicable

4  Warnings

  1. Runway 02 APAPI is positioned to the right-hand side of the runway.

5  Helicopter Operations

EGNE AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1  General

  1. All aircraft inbound and outbound from this airport 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 airport shall always ensure that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport.

    2. Aircraft operators should conform to the aerodrome circuit and avoid noise sensitive areas as published on the airport website https://retfordairport.co.uk/fly-in.html.

    3. Aircraft should utilise the full declared distances when departing in order to minimise noise in the areas surrounding the airport.

EGNE AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  General

  1. Pilots are to contact the A/G station prior to entering the ATZ.

2  Procedures for Inbound Aircraft via the Airways System

  1. Aircraft inbound from the South† via the airways system must follow the East Midlands Standard Arrival Routes (STAR) as shown at AD-2­ EGNX-7. A STAR will be issued by the relevant area control unit.

  2. Aircraft may be vectored off the routes for separation purposes. When separation has been achieved, ATC will give an instruction to resume the STAR via the appropriate fix.

  3. East Midlands Radar will position aircraft inbound to Gamston on a heading or own navigation. Aircraft are required to free-call Gamston when clear of CAS.

3  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft to the South via the Airways System

  1. Departures to the south should route via DCT SAPCO or TNT. Aircraft should include all necessary and relevant waypoints in the flight plan.

  2. Gamston will pre-note East Midlands Radar with the aircraft’s routing and requested level prior to departure.

4  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft to the North via the Airways System

  1. Departures to the North should route via DCT UPTON or GOLES. Aircraft should include all necessary and relevant waypoints in the flight plan.

  2. IFR flights should inform Gamston Radio when they are ready for departure, including which waypoint they intend to join at.

  3. Gamston will pre-note Scottish control with the aircraft’s routing and requested level prior to an aircraft's departure.

Note: Pilots are recommended to hold prior to departure and wait for further details from Gamston Radio to avoid delays on joining CAS.

5  Radio Communication Failure Procedure

  1. In the event of complete radio communication failure, the pilot will adopt the appropriate procedure notified at ENR 1.1.3.3. Aircraft are then to leave Controlled Airspace routeing UPDUK - GAM DME.

6  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.

EGNE AD 2.23  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1  Proximity of Microlight flying site

  1. Headon microlight flying site is located 3 NM to the east of the airport and may be active at any time.

  2. Darlton gliding site is located 4 NM to the east of the airport and may be active at any time. Confirmation of active launches may be obtained from Waddington LARS.
