LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

I. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

1. BACKGROUND:

In compliance with DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) Section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-weather Operations, Low visibility procedures are to be enforced at aerodromes for ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs (sp. Also in the Revision 10 to the CAR 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/800M visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced. “Unquote”.

This provision necessitated the establishment 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.

At Chennai Airport, ILS Category I is available, accordingly, Low visibility Procedures have been developed for Chennai International Airport to accommodate/permit departures even in Visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M from RWY 07 & RWY 25 up to RVR of 200M and from RWY 12 & RWY 30 up to RVR of 300M, subject to availability of required facilities and manual RVR observations whenever instrument RVR is not available. Low Visibility Take off may be conducted on RWY07/25 up to RVR 150M when MID and END RVR observations are also made available.

 

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 Low Visibility Take Off (LVTO): A term used in relation to flight operations referring to a take-off on a runway where the RVR is less than 400 m.

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

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

2.5 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 2D 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 visibilityand/or runway visual range and decision

altitude/height (DA/H) appropriate to the type and/or category of the operation.
2.6 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 1000 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. 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 LVPs are implemented after all Safeguarding procedures are completed.
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.
4.1 Safeguarding Procedures shall be initiated when:
a. The Visibility/RVR is less than 1200M and visibility/RVR is forecast to deteriorate to 800M/550M or less; and/or
b. The cloud ceiling is less than 400FT and forecast to fall to 200FT or less.
4.2 Safeguarding procedures include:
a. Positioning of one CFT each at the two predetermined positions. PDPs for RWY 07/25 are near Gate no: 6 and near TWY K and for RWY 12/30 are on Grid B6 (near Adayar Bridge) and Gate no: 6.
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. Inspecting Aeronautical ground lights (AGL) during the hour preceding implementation of LVP, and thereafter once every two-hour period.
d. Ensuring readiness of secondary power supply for change over time of maximum one second for AGL during LVP implementation. All Aerodrome Ground Lights may continue to operate on main power supply during Safe
Guarding Procedures. Aerodrome Ground Lights (AGL) at Chennai Airport is supported by UPS to ensure change over time of less than one second. However, during any unserviceability of the UPS, whenever LVP is to be implemented as per para 6 below, the AGL shall be put on Standby Power Supply.
e. Apron Duty Manager (ADM) shall inspect the airfield and Aerodrome ground lights during the hour preceding implementation of LVP, and thereafter every subsequent two-hour period. These lighting inspections should be accorded
priority and, if necessary, aircraft operations may have to be delayed.
 
 
 
5. FACILITIES SUPPORTING LVP:
The following Facilities are available at Chennai Airport for supporting Low Visibility Procedures (refer Table 1):
a. Runway Centreline Lights for RWY 07/25
b. Runway Edge lights for RWY 07/25 & 12/30
c. Runway End Lights for RWY 07/25 & 12/30
d. Runway Center line markings for RWY 07/25 & 12/30
e. Transmissometer for RWY 07/25
 
6. All Aerodrome Ground Lights at Chennai Airport are supported by UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) to ensure change over time of less than one second. However, during any unserviceability of the UPS when LVP in force, secondary power
supply shall be switched on for supporting the AGL to ensure change over time of less than one second.
 
7. LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:
7.1 Implementation of Low Visibility Procedures:
Duty MET Officer shall inform Tower Supervisor whenever Visibility/RVR reduces to 800/550M or below and/ or cloud ceiling is less than 200FT. Tower Supervisor shall coordinate with AOCC, Fire Station and and Constant Current Regulator (CCR) to ensure that the safeguarding procedures are completed. When Visibility/RVR falls below 800M/550M and or Cloud Ceiling less than 200FT and safeguarding procedures are completed, Tower supervisor will implement Low Visibility Procedures after prior approval from WSO. Anytime reported visibility is below 800M, then the 550M RVR criteria apply for this interpretation. Tower Supervisor shall ensure that “Low Visibility Procedure in Force” is being broadcast on ATIS.

Note 1 - The TDZ RVR/VIS may be assessed by the pilot. For take-off circumstances where TDZ RVR is inoperative or is determined by the pilot to be significantly in error (e.g. patchy fog obscuring Transmissometer but not the Runway, snow on Transmissometer causing erroneous readings), a pilot assessment may be made in lieu of RVR subject to the conditions laid down in CAR section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-weather Operations under para 17.1,
17.2, 17.3 & 17.4 (Pilot assessment of touchdown zone RVR is to be made only when the mid and roll out zone RVR are reported and both these values are not less than 200m).
Note 2 - Adequate Visual Reference means, that a pilot is able to continuously identify the take-off surface and maintain directional control.
Note 3 - For night operations at least runway edge lights or centre line lights and runway end lights are available.
Note 4 - The required RVR must be achieved for all relevant RVR reporting points (touchdown, mid-point and stop-end/roll-out). The governing RVR shall be the lowest of the reported RVRs.
Note 5 - LVTO pertains to take off when the RVR is below 400 m and is applicable whenever the reported RVR in any zone (touch-down/mid/roll-out) RVR is below 400 m. The facilities and conditions specified in Table 1 will be as per the lowest RVR reported in any zone (e.g. if the RVR is 400/300/300 representing the three zones, then the 300 m will be the RVR for
reckoning facilities and conditions of Table 1. If the RVR is 300/150/Not Reported, then 150 m will be the reckoning RVR and as the RVR is below 200 m all three RVRs are required).

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

I. TRANSPONDER OPERATING PROCEDURES ON GROUND

1. Introduction:

Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) using Mode-S Multi-lateration has been commissioned at Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata & Mumbai International Airports.

 

The Aircraft Transponder Operating Procedures, particularly in the movement area of the airport(s), where A-SMGCS has been commissioned, is as given below:

 

2. DEPARTURE

 

i. At the Gate/Stand:

Select STBY

Enter the discrete SSR code received from Clearance Delivery/Surface Movement Control. Enter the three letter ICAO designator followed by the flight identification number (e.g. AIC748) through the FMS or the Transponder control panel, depending on the avionics.

 

 

ii. On requesting Pushback/Taxi (whichever is earlier):

Select Transponder or equivalent and AUTO if available

This action will enable the aircraft ID, used as the Call sign by ATC, to be displayed on the surveillance display of ATC. ATC can verify the data and use it for necessary identification.

 

iii. When Lining up:

Select TCAS

Select TCAS only after receiving the clearance to line up, to ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (including airborne TCAS units, SSR and A-SMGCS) is not compromised.

3. ARRIVAL

 

1. When on the Runway:

Keep TCAS selected

 

2. After vacating the Runway:

Select Transponder or equivalent and AUTO if available

There is a need that the Transponder remains able to exchange data with the A-SMGCS system. However to ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (including airborne TCAS Unit, SSR & A-SMGCS) is not compromised, TCAS shall be deselected when vacating the Runway.

 

3. Parked on Stand:

Select STBY

The Transponder will not reply to interrogation. The discrete SSR Code given to that particular flight can now be recycled for other flights.

 

Note: When on ground the aircraft must squawk Mode C, in order to provide the altitude information to the surveillance system, and thereby prevent

 

i) clutter on Terminal Approach Radar Display (and )

 

ii) false automatic detection of departure for aircraft still on ground.
