ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURE

 

1. BACKGROUND:

 

Until the latest amendment of DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-weather Operations, Low visibility procedures were required at aerodromes for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs(LVTO).

However, in latest amendment to CAR (Rev. 10) para 5.3 following provision regarding Low Visibility Procedures is added. “Quote” An operator shall not conduct take-off with RVR/visibility less than standard Category I conditions of 550m RVR/ 800 m visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced. “Unquote”.

This provision necessitated the need of Low Visibility Procedures for accommodating/permitting departures in Visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M even at such airports where there are No CAT II and CAT III operations.

Accordingly, Low visibility Procedures have been developed for Jai Prakash International Airport, Patna to accommodate/permit departures in Visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M from RWY 25. (runway served with RVR instruments).

 

2. DEFINITIONS:

 

2.1 Low Visibility Procedures (LVP): Specific procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs.

 

Note: as per para 5.3 of CAR on All Weather Operations, an operator shall not conduct Take-off with RVR/Visibility less than standard CAT-I conditions of 550m RVR/800m Visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced.

 

2.2 Manoeuvring Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons.

 

2.3 Runway Visual Range: The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centerline of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centerline.

 

2.4 Aerodrome Operating Minima: The limits of usability of an aerodrome for:

 

a. Take off, expressed in terms of runway visual range and / or visibility and, if necessary, cloud conditions.

b. landing in 2 D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range; minimum descent altitude/height (MDA/H) and, if necessary, cloud conditions; and

c. landing in 3D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range and decision altitude/height(DA/H) appropriate to the type and/or category of the operation.

 

2.5 Visibility - Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of:

a. the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions, situated\ near the ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright background;

b. The greatest distance at which lights in the vicinity of 1 000 candelas can be seen and identified against an unlit background.

 

Note 1. -- The two distances have different values in air of a given extinction coefficient, and the latter b) varies with the background illumination. The former a) is represented by the meteorological optical range (MOR).

 

Note 2. -- The definition applies to the observations of visibility in local routine and special reports, to the observations of prevailing and minimum visibility reported in METAR and SPECI and to the observations of ground visibility.

 

3. GENERAL:

 

The Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) incorporates safeguarding measures to mitigate runway incursions and defines operational restrictions to ensure safe Airside Operations taking into account the available Aerodrome facilities.

 

 

4. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

 

The following aeronautical Ground lights and RVR equipment shall be serviceable to the required standard to support Low Visibility Procedures.

a. Runway edge lights,

b. Runway end lights,

c. Real time TDZ RVR.

d. Stand by Power supply to maintain switch over time of 1 Second for Runway Edge Lights and Runway End Lights. This requirement can be met with thehelp of DG Set and/or UPS.

Note: - At Patna switch over time for Runway Edge Lights and Runway End Lights is less than 1 Second.

5. UNSERVICEABILITY OF AERONAUTICAL GROUND LIGHTS/EQUIPMENT BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION OF LVP.

Low Visibility Procedures will not be implemented when any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 4 above is un-serviceable or is not maintained as per the required standard.

 

5.1 Unserviceability of Aeronautical Ground Lights/ Equipment after Implementation of LVP.

When any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 4 above becomes un-serviceable or fails to meet the required standard during periods of LVP, TWR/SMC shall advise the aircraft accordingly and LVP shall be suspended and information to this effect shall be included in ATIS broadcast.

 

6. SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES:

 

Safeguarding Procedures (SP) are instructions for relevant airport, departments and airside operators to prepare ground services and facilities for low visibility operations in order that when LVP are implemented all Safeguarding procedures are complete.

Duty Officer Tower/Tower Supervisor will initiate and co-coordinate with all the concerned agencies for completion of safeguarding procedures before implementation of Low Visibility Procedures.

 

6.1 Safeguarding Procedures shall be initiated when:

a. The Visibility/RVR is less than 1200m and visibility/RVR is forecast to deteriorate to 800m or less; and/or

b. The cloud ceiling is less than 400ft and forecast to fall to 200ft or less.

 

6.2 Safeguarding procedures include:

a. Positioning of 1 CFT each at the two predetermined positions Taxiway A and at Taxiway C - on fire access road.

b. Stopping of all maintenance works on the manoeuvring area as well as removal of all men and mobile equipment from the said area.

c. Ensuring availability of secondary power supply for change over time of maximum one second for RWY Edge and Rwy End lights supported by UPS.

 

Note: RWY Edge and Rwy End lights may continue to operate on main power supply during safe Guarding Procedures. Whenever, LVP is to be implemented as per para 6 below, the RWY Edge and Rwy End lights shall be put on Standby Power Supply (DG set or UPS). This operation need to be completed before LVP is implemented.

In case of DG set, Main power supply shall act as stand by power. At airports where UPS is capable of maintaining the required AGL system with one second of Switch Over time with Main Supply, the main supply can continue to be primary supply and the Generator Supply can be kept as Stand by Power supply.

 

d. The appropriate Aeronautical ground lights must have been inspected during the hour preceding implementation of LVP, and thereafter once every two-hour period. These lighting inspections should be accorded priority and, if necessary,

aircraft operations may be delayed.

 

7. Low Visibility Procedures:

 

7.1 Implementation of Low Visibility Procedures:

 

Duty MET Officer shall inform Tower Supervisor whenever Visibility/RVR reduces to 800 Meters or below and/ or cloud ceiling is at 200 ft or below. Tower Supervisor shall coordinate with all the agencies to confirm whether the Safeguarding procedures have been completed or not. When Visibility/RVR falls below 800m/550M and or Cloud Ceiling is 200 ft or below and safeguarding procedures are complete, Tower supervisor will implement Low Visibility Procedures. Duty Officer Tower/Tower Supervisor shall inform all users of the imposition of low visibility procedures.

 

7.2 Action by various units during LVP:

 

a. Duty MET Officer shall keep Duty Officer Tower/Tower Supervisor informed of any change in Visibility/ RVR.

b. TOWER/ OPS shall ensure that the towing of aircraft is done under escort of “Follow Me” vehicles. “Follow Me” shall inform ATC of any deviation fromthe route cleared by ATC;

c. Tower shall not permit any ground run on the manoeuvring area except idle power run on the stands;

d. Tower shall ensure that “Follow Me” services are provided to pilots on request;

e. The number of the vehicles on the manoeuvring area shall be restricted to bare minimum and records of all operating on the manoeuvring area shall be maintained by TOWER / OPS.

f. The following may be included in DATIS. “Low Visibility Procedures in force”.

g. TWR shall permit departures only from the beginning of the Runway in use.

h. Whenever visibility/RVR is less than 800M/550M, Duty officer tower shal confirm from pilot that the reported RVR value is within minima before issuing take-off clearance.

i. In-Charge Electrical shall continuously monitor the main and Standby Power supply to ensure change over time of maximum one second for RWY Edge and Rwy End lights during low visibility operations and report any unserviceability

to Tower immediately.

8. TERMINATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:

 

a. When Visibility/RVR improves to 800M or more and cloud ceiling is 200 feet or Higher and trend is for improvement, Tower Supervisor/Duty Officer Tower would terminate operations of LVP. He may obtain advice from Duty Met. Officer regarding improvement in weather conditions before the termination of LVP.

b. The Tower Supervisor will intimate OPS/ARFF/ In-Charge ElectricalEngineering regarding the termination of LVP operations.

c. On cancelling of LVP, following message shall be included in two subsequent ATIS broadcasts. “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES CANCELLED”.

d. If SP are implemented and LVP are not subsequently implemented and the visibility/RVR improves and is more than 1200m and/or the cloud ceiling is 400ft or higher and both are forecast to remain above the required SP criteria, Tower Supervisor/Duty Officer Tower may cancel SP.

 

9. ACTIONS BY OTHER AGENCIES (AIRLINES, REFUELING COMPANIES, CATERING AGENCIES, ETC.):

 

a. Every Year before commencement of monsoon/winter season, a meeting will be held by Airport Director, to inform all airlines and agencies operating at airport about their roles/responsibilities and create awareness to ensure cooperation for safe airport operations during periods of low visibility.

b. All the agencies shall ensure that staff and drivers are suitably trained during Low Visibility operations.

c. A refresher program for ATCO’s and personnel responsible for airside operations shall be conducted every year.

d. All agencies operating in the operational area shall ensure that only those vehicles that are absolutely essential for aircraft operations operate in the operational area during periods of low visibility. The drivers of these vehicles should keep a look out for taxiing aircraft and other vehicles to prevent accidents.

e. All the vehicles must have their obstruction lights “ON” during Low Visibility Procedures operations.

f. Everybody must follow all instructions/sign boards provided for vehicular movement area/service roads.

 

II. ADS-B Ground receiver is commissioned and operational.
