EGPE AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1   Airport Regulations
  1. All operators, international flights (including executive and private General Aviation) regardless of MAUW, must make prior arrangements with a handling agent for ground handling of all flights.

  2. Inverness Airport is strictly PPR outside published hours. Requests should be made to Inverness Apron Operations Tel: +44 (0)1667-464307, Mobile: +44 (0)7917-071144 or e-mail: invernessapronoperations@hial.co.uk.

  3. Smoking airside is strictly prohibited.

  4. Use of Inverness aerodrome is subject to standard Terms and Conditions of Use, which can be requested from the aerodrome.

  5. Due to restricted parking availability all aircraft should be left in a towable condition wherever practicable. Signage indicating that aircraft are ready for tow should be displayed in a prominent position or, where no signage is available, handling agents informed of the aircraft state.

  6. In order to comply with airport regulations, all persons entering airside areas on foot are required to wear high visibility clothing, appropriate PPEs and be in possession/display an appropriate and valid HIAL ID pass.

  7. All aircraft using Inverness Aerodrome or its facilities are required to have third party liability insurance cover. Proof of this insurance should be available for inspection at any time whilst the aircraft is on the aerodrome.

2   Ground Movement
  1. The taxiway between the north end of the south apron and threshold Runway 11 is available for use only by aircraft with a wingspan up to but not including 36 M.

  2. To permit crossing of Taxiway Echo through the North Apron by non-radio equipped vehicles, two crossings are installed, indicated by black/white checked edges. One, at the north end, leads to the GA Terminal, Landing Fee Office and Flight Plan Centre, the other to AFS and the Terminal Building. These crossings are not available during Stage 2 LVP operations, ATC will advise. In addition a pedestrian crossing has been marked, green in colour with ‘walking man’ symbols, between the two vehicle crossings. All pedestrians, wishing to cross Taxiway Echo are required to use the pedestrian or vehicular crossings.

  3. All ground movement west of Hold D is at the pilots discretion. Only Inverness based aircraft, aircraft under tow to Hangar 3, or aircraft for which previous arrangements have been made with a handling agent or Apron Control (07917-071144), are permitted west of Hold D.

  4. Aircrew are requested to use minimum power settings whilst turning to leave the parking stands on either apron in order to avoid blast injury to personnel or blast damage to other aircraft.

  5. Push-back not available at Inverness, so marshalling is routinely provided to all aircraft movements to or from South Apron. Therefore, pilots of inbound aircraft are not to turn off Taxiway Alpha prior to parking, nor are pilots of outbound aircraft to request taxi, unless they are in visual contact with, and receiving guidance from, the Duty Marshaller. In the event that no marshaller is in sight at the appointed time, the pilot should hold position and advise ATC of the situation. In such circumstances ATC may instruct the pilot to await the marshaller, or, if the delay is likely to be excessive, advise the pilot to park or leave the apron at his discretion. This instruction will be in respect of other aircraft movements and will take no account of vehicle and personnel movements on the apron.

  6. ATC will issue clearances to vehicles on the TWR VHF frequency, which is cross-coupled to the UHF GMC frequency. Pilots will not hear responses from drivers.

  7. Only aircraft operating to and from the SAR Apron are permitted to use the G Taxiway.

3   CAT II/III Operations
  1. Inverness Airport is not equipped for CAT II/III operations; however, Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are used to protect CAT I operations.

  2. Preparation for LVP will commence when the reported MET visibility or IRVR is 1500 M and falling.

  3. Pilots will be informed when LVP are in operation by ATIS.

4   Warnings
  1. No ground signals except light signals.

  2. Caution should be exercised when taxiing to Hangar 1 due to the close proximity of an adjacent security fence.

  3. Despite the presence of a deer fence, roe deer are occasionally seen on the airport. Pilots are requested to report the location of any animals sighted to ATC.

  4. Due to coastal location, birds are a hazard throughout most of the year. This hazard level is raised during the migration season when large numbers of wintering wildfowl transit across approaches to feeding locations on farmland adjacent to the airport.

  5. In a strong southerly airstream, severe turbulence may occur below 4000 FT. In lee wave conditions, the turbulence may be particularly bad at very low levels

  6. High ground to the South 1500 FT at 5 NM rising to 2018 FT at 7.4 NM.

  7. Paragliding and Hang gliding takes place at Alturlie Point in an area known as the Alturlie Box (573040.54N 0040811.70W - 573055.78N 0040906.69W - 573118.71N 0040850.01W - 573106.70N 0040755.20W). Due to the serious risks presented by wake turbulence, helicopter pilots should avoid overflying or operating in close proximity to this area at low level. The status of the Alturlie Box is available from ATC.

  8. All pilots should be aware of the activities of a dangerous nature between Fort George (EGD702) and the Black Isle SFC - 500 FT during the operating hours of EGD702.

  9. Pilots of aircraft with a Maximum Landing Weight exceeding 22,000 KG are requested to carry out all 180 degree turns on the concrete portion of RWY 05/23 (Approx. first 220 M from threshold 23, full runway width).

5   Helicopter Operations
  1. Helicopters are expected to make approaches to, and departures from notified runways. Those with wheeled undercarriage will be treated similarly to fixed wing aircraft and must ground taxi within the apron/taxiways. For skid-equipped helicopters the aiming point will generally be Runway 11 threshold followed by hover taxi to the apron. Helicopters can generally expect to be parked on the east side of the North apron. No hover taxiing is permitted west of Hold DELTA.

  2. Exceptionally, if weather conditions make lengthy hover taxiing undesirable, departure into wind over the grass area west of Runway 11/29 will be permitted. Overflying the aprons and Terminal building is to be avoided.

6  Use of Runways
  1. Runway Departure Restriction – Except where an AOC holder has a less restrictive State authorised take-off minima, departures in RVR conditions of less than 400 M are not permitted.

  2. Runway 11/29 is not available for flight operations during night hours.

7   Training
  1. Practice engine failures after departure by single engine aircraft are permitted when Runway 23 is in use provided the aircraft has passed the aerodrome access road.

  2. Asymmetric training by multi-engined aircraft is permitted following departure or go-around on any runway, provided that the aircraft concerned will not descend below 500 FT QFE (or QNH equivalent) during such manoeuvres.

  3. All training by visiting aircraft must be pre-booked with ATC on 01667-464293.

  4. The following procedures are applicable for visual circuit training aircraft only with a MTOW of 5700 KG or more:

    1. Circuit training shall only be permitted Mon-Fri 0800-1900 (0700-1800) and Sat-Sun 0900-1800 (0800-1700);

    2. In the event of continuous circuit flying for 2 hours, a 30 minute break from circuit training shall occur for all aircraft with a MTOW of 5700 KG or more;

    3. Circuit direction will be frequently varied by ATC;

    4. Where possible, pilots shall avoid overflying surrounding villages and/or hamlets whilst operating in the circuit. This is particularly important for those portions of the flight that are operated below 1000 FT. Examples of such locations are, but not limited to:

      1. Croy

      2. Treeton

      3. Dalcross Castle

      4. Holme Rose

      5. Ardersier

EGPE AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Not applicable

EGPE 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   Restrictive Areas
  1. Inverness airport is situated adjacent to RAF Lossiemouth, and Danger Area EGD703, Tain Range. IFR flights may require extended vectoring due to military activity in the area.

3   Air Traffic Services Outside Controlled Airspace
  1. Pilots of aircraft filing IFR flight plans or booking out IFR shall notify ATC prior to departure if any service other than a Deconfliction Service is likely to be requested.

  2. This does not preclude pilots from requesting any appropriate service once airborne.

  3. The ILS radiates H24 but is not monitored outside the hours of ATC. Only operators approved by the airport authority are permitted to fly approaches when ATC is published closed.

4  Transition Level
  1. Transition Level available from ATC on first contact.

5   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.

EGPE AD 2.23  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

During ATC procedural training radar/deconfliction service will only be available on request. ATC training will be notified on ATIS.
