• Stand 12 is interdependent with Stand 13, if Code D/E parked on stand 12 only Code C can be parked on Stand 13 and vice

versa.

III.Radio communication failure (RCF) procedure.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Radio communication failure (RCF) procedures are prescribed in Para 15.3 of ICAO PANS-ATM DOC 4444. Based on these provisions, following radio communication failure procedures are established, to standardize the actions to be taken by the pilot of arriving and departing aircraft at Lucknow airport.

2. GENERAL

2.1 All Transponder equipped aircraft experiencing Radio Communication Failure shall set transponder to Mode A/C code 7600 as soon as practicable.

2.2 ADS-B-equipped aircraft experiencing radio communication failure may transmit the appropriate ADS-B emergency and/or urgency mode.

2.3 If two-way communication is lost with an aircraft, the controller should determine whether or not the aircraft’s receiver is functioning by instructing the aircraft on the channel so far used to acknowledge by making a specified manoeuvre and by observing the aircraft’s track, or by instructing the aircraft to operate IDENT or to make SSR code

and/or ADSB transmission changes.

2.4 If the action prescribed in 2.3 is unsuccessful, it shall be repeated on any other available channel on which it is believed that the aircraft might be listening.

2.5 In both the cases covered by 2.3 &2.4, any manoeuvring instructions shall be such that the aircraft would not enter into restricted airspace after having complied with the instructions received.

2.6 Where it has been established by the action in 2.3 that the aircraft’s radio receiver is functioning, continued control can be effected using SSR code/ADS-B transmission changes or IDENT transmissions to obtain acknowledgement of clearances issued to the aircraft.

2.7 If the aircraft experiencing the communication failure is not identified, separation shall be applied in accordance with para 8.7.3 of PANS-ATM, between identified aircraft and all unidentified aircraft.

(Note: This Requirement of Setting transponder to Mode A/C code 7600 in no way imposes any restriction on the pilot’s decision to set transponder to Mode A/C code 7500 or 7700, whenever required)

3. ASSIGNED RUNWAY AND ITS AVAILABILITY FOR RCF AIRCRAFT:

3.1 In case of arriving aircraft, when Runway for landing has already been advised to the aircraft by ATC, such runway shall be considered as assigned runway. If radio communication failure occurs after the receipt of final /interception turn or approach clearance, the aircraft may continue its approach to land on such Runway.

3.2 In case arriving aircraft has not been advised of any runway for landing, Runway 27 shall be considered as assigned runway for such arrival.

3.3 In case of departing aircraft from Lucknow returning on account of RCF, the departure runway of such aircraft shall be considered as assigned runway for landing.

3.4 Lucknow Aerodrome control Tower shall ensure approach and runway lights of the assigned runway in ‘SWITCHED ON’ position for RCF aircraft irrespective of day/night/visibility/weather conditions. Approach lights in ‘SWITCHED OFF’ position shall indicate that the approach should be made from the opposite end of runway. Runway and Approach lights on both sides in ‘SWITCHED OFF’ position shall indicate non- availability of Runway for aircraft experiencing RCF.

3.5 In strong tail wind conditions for assigned Runway, aircraft will carry out a missed approach on assigned runway and after following complete missed approach procedure, will carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for the opposite runway

 

4. PROCEDURE FOR ARRIVALS:

 

4.1 ARRIVING AIRCRAFT CARRYING PROCEDURAL APPROACH

4.1.1 Continue on ATS route, (if flying offset re-join ATS route as soon as practicable), maintaining/descending to cleared flight level and join ‘LKN’ VOR hold as published.

4.1.2 If higher descend to 3500 FT in ‘LKN’ hold. Start descend at ETA or EAT if it has been passed by the controller and acknowledged by the pilot of the RCF aircraft. Leave ‘LKN’ VOR at 3500 FT to carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for assigned runway.

4.2 ARRIVING AIRCRAFT BEING VECTORED

4.2.1 Aircraft being vectored for approach, on experiencing RCF, shall maintain last assigned level and heading for 2 minutes following:

i. The time the last assigned level or FL 90 whichever higher is reached or

ii. the time the transponder is set to Code 7600 or the ADS-B transmitter is set to indicate the loss of air-ground communications; whichever is later and then take a convenient turn to proceed direct to ‘LKN’ VOR descending/maintaining last assigned level, or 3500 FT whichever is higher. If higher, descend to 3500 FT in ‘LKN’ hold.

4.2.2 Leave ‘LKN’ VOR at 3500 FT to carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for assigned runway.

5. PROCEDURE FOR DEPARTURES:

 

5.1 DEPARTURE INTENDING TO CONTINUE TO DESTINATION

5.1.1 Departing aircraft experiencing RCF and intending to continue to its filed flight plan

destination shall:

5.1.2 Continue on assigned heading climbing to or maintaining cleared level or FL 90, whichever is higher for 3 minutes following:

i. The time the last assigned level or FL 90 whichever higher is reached or

ii. the time the transponder is set to Code 7600 or the ADS-B transmitter is set to indicate the loss of air-ground communications; whichever is later and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan; and

proceed by the most direct manner possible to re-join the current flight plan route no later than the next significant point, maintaining cleared flight level/FL 90 whichever is higher.

5.2 DEPARTURE INTENDING TO LAND BACK AT LUCKNOW:

5.2.1 Departing aircraft experiencing RCF and intending to land back at Lucknow airport

shall

i. Continue on Radar heading climbing to or maintaining the cleared Flight level or Flight level 90 whichever is higher.

ii. One minute after setting Mode A/C code 7600 or reaching the appropriate level as given in 5.2.1, whichever is later; take a convenient turn avoiding all restricted airspace as far as practicable and proceed direct to ‘LKN’ VOR to join hold as published.

iii. Descend to 3500 FT in ‘LKN’ hold. Leave ‘LKN’ VOR at 3500 FT to carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for assigned runway.

1.DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

1.1 Instrument approach operations: An approach and landing using instruments for navigation guidance based on an instrument approach procedure. There are two methods for executing instrument approach operations:

a) a two-dimensional (2D) instrument approach operation, using lateral navigation guidance only; and

b) a three-dimensional (3D) instrument approach operation, using both lateral and vertical navigation guidance.

Note. - Lateral and vertical navigation guidance refers to the guidance provided either by:

a) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or

9.Procedures for Protection of Critical Area and Sensitive Area of ILS during Low Visibility Operations

 

9.1Introduction

 

9.1.1The occurrence of interference to ILS signals is dependent on the total environment around the ILS antennas, and the antenna characteristics. Any large reflecting objects, including vehicles or fixed objects such as structures within the radiated signal coverage, will potentially cause multipath interference to the ILS course and path structure. The location and size of the reflecting fixed objects and structures in conjunction with the directional qualities of the antennas will determine the static course or path structure quality whether Category I, II or III. Movable objects can degrade this structure to the extent that it becomes unacceptable. The areas within which this degradable interference is possible need to be defined and recognized. For the purposes of developing protective zoning criteria, these areas can be divided into two types, i.e. critical areas and sensitive areas:

 

 

 

 

a)The ILS critical area is an area of defined dimensions about the localizer and glide path antennas where vehicles, including aircraft, are excluded during all ILS operations. The critical area is protected because the presence of vehicles and/or aircraft inside its boundaries will cause unacceptable disturbance to the ILS signal-in-space

 

b)The ILS sensitive area is an area extending beyond the critical area where the parking and/or movement of vehicles, including aircraft, is controlled to prevent the possibility of unacceptable interference to the ILS signal during ILS operations. The sensitive area is protected against interference caused by large moving objects outside the critical area but still normally within the airfield boundary

 

9.2Purpose

9.2.1The purpose of these procedures is to issue guidelines to ATCOs and officials of other agencies working at Lucknow Airport so as to ensure that the critical and sensitive areas of ILS are protected during low visibility operations as per the guidelines given below:

 

9.3Protection of ILS Critical & Sensitive Areas:

9.3.1ATCOs shall comply with the following guidelines for protection of Localizer Critical/Sensitive area during CAT II/III Operations:

9.3.2Approach Control shall ensure that a succeeding arriving aircraft is cleared for CAT II or CAT III ILS approach in such a way that:

a)Preceding arriving aircraft has landed and vacated the runway and is clear of localizer critical and sensitive Area or has carried out the missed approach procedure and has passed over localizer antenna.

b)Preceding departing aircraft is airborne and has passed over the localizer antenna.

9.3.3Arriving aircraft should be given un-impeded taxi route to allow it to clear the localizer and Glide Path Critical and Sensitive area expeditiously.

9.3.4The Localizer and Glide Path Critical and Sensitive area in front of an arriving aircraft shall not be infringed from the time the arriving aircraft crosses the Final Approach Point until it has completed its landing roll.

9.3.5The ATCOs shall activate the ILS Critical and Sensitive area map saved in the ASMGCS.

9.3.6On receipt of advisory message from WSO/ Aerodrome Control Tower that LVP is to be made effective, CISF Staff (deployed round-the-clock in huts near the boundary wall near Glide Path Sensitive area) shall ensure that no unauthorized movement takes place in the portion of Glide path & LLZ sensitive area

 

II.ATS Surveillance Services:

ADS-B/PSR/MSSR based ATS Surveillance services are provided to suitably equipped aircraft BTN 0030-1630 UTC within the coverage area of Lucknow Approach Control.

ATS surveillance based services using ASR/MSSR/ADS-B provided during the operations within the jurisdiction of Lucknow Area Control to suitably equipped aircraft within the coverage area of Lucknow ASR/MSSR/ ADS- B ground station on VHF 120.45 MHZ and standby 120.2 MHZ.

SSR Transponder/ADS-B equipped aircraft flying within Lucknow Area Control jurisdiction shall comply with relevant provisions.
