3  CAT II/III Operations
  1. Isle of Man Airport is not equipped with CAT II/III procedures, however Low Visibility Procedures are used to protect CAT I operations.

4  Warnings
  1. Except for light signals ground signals shall not be displayed.

  2. Increased bird activity due to coastal location. Bird scaring including the use of pyrotechnics, lethal control and lasers used regularly on the aerodrome.

  3. A known windshear hazard exists on short final for Runway 08 when the wind is from the southeast and pilots should adopt appropriate operating procedures. During strong wind conditions, turbulence may be expected on the approach to, or climb out from, any runway.

  4. Take-off and landing will be restricted to paved surfaces only.

  5. Pilots of helicopters should note the presence of a 10 M anemometer mast in the Met square adjacent to the apron area and exercise due caution when manoeuvring prior to arrival or departure.

  6. The presence of high ground to the north of Runway 08/26 centre-line may trigger GPWS alerts if aircraft adopt high rate of descent and/or fast speed profiles in this sector.

  7. Holding position D1 is situated close to the exit from area Whiskey and coincident with the start of the 26 ILS GP critical area. Pilots should exercise extreme caution in observing and complying with holding position D1 to ensure they do not infringe Runway 26 and the GP critical area.

  8. Runway 21 - CAUTION - Departing crew should be aware that kite surfing in the vicinity of the climb out is possible during daylight hours.

  2. All propeller driven aircraft must climb straight ahead to 500 FT and must have passed the airport boundary before commencing any turn.

  3. All jet aircraft must climb straight ahead to 1000 FT before commencing any turn.

  4. All departing aircraft from Runway 26 shall track the extended centre-line until a range of 3 NM or less from IOM DME before commencing any turn. Aircraft unable to receive DME shall climb straight ahead for 2 minutes from commencement of their take off run before commencing any turn. This procedure may only be departed from when authorised by ATC.

  5. When approaching to land on any Runway all aircraft shall intercept the extended runway centre-line at a minimum range of 2 NM and shall not descend below the PAPI indicated approach.

  6. Any of these procedures may be departed from to the extent necessary for the avoidance of immediate danger.

EGNS AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Flights within Isle of Man CTR and CTA
  1. Isle of Man Airspace is subject to Isle of Man Civil Aviation Legislation, details of which are notified at GEN 1-6-6. Pilots requiring Exemptions or Permissions under the Air Navigation Order, Rules of the Air Regulations 2015 or Standardised European Rules of the Air, should contact the Isle of Man Director of Civil Aviation on 01624-682374.

  2. All flights regardless of weather conditions, are required to obtain a clearance from ATC prior to entering the CTR/CTA.

  3. All IFR flights within the Isle of Man CTR/CTA must fulfil the requirements for Class D Airspace appropriate to existing weather conditions.

  4. Special VFR clearances within the CTR/CTA, in IMC or at night, may be issued subject to traffic conditions and limitations by ATC.

  5. As extensions to airport hours are frequent, pilots intending to transit the Isle of Man CTR/CTA outside airport published hours are strongly advised to contact Ronaldsway Approach before entering the CTR/CTA.

  6. In the event of failure of remote transmitters/receivers, radio communications to the north of the aerodrome below 3000 FT may be restricted and ATC services reduced accordingly. Pilots should ensure that they do not enter the CTR/CTA without ATC clearance. In the event of difficulty in establishing communication, a Flight Information Service may be available from Scottish Information on frequency 119.875 MHz.

  7. Pilots may, upon request, be cleared to self-position directly to final approach for the ILS/DME approach to Runway 08 or Runway 26. Pilots are warned that, in order to maintain adequate terrain clearance, descent will not be issued below 3200 FT QNH if arriving from the north-east sector or in any event below 3000 FT QNH until established on the localiser. Pilots are responsible for arranging their flight to intercept the localiser and glidepath at an appropriate range.
