FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1. DEPARTURE PROCEDURE

1.1 Cruising Level shall be notified to Pune tower at least 10 min before pushback call.

1.2 Pilot shall complete all mandatory pre departure checks before entering the active runway for departure so that the aircraft is in a position to take off immediately upon receipt of take-off clearance.

1.3 When the aircraft is issued with a line up and take-off clearance at taxi holding position it shall be in a position to line up and affect an immediate take off in one continuous movement.

1.4 When the aircraft is issued with a takeoff clearance after lining up on the runway, it shall commence take off roll immediately upon receipt of take of clearance.

1.5 If the Controller observes a delay in respect of the departing aircraft in commencing its take off run after issuance of take-

off clearance, the take-off clearance will be cancelled and the aircraft be advised to vacate the runways immediately at the nearest taxiway to make way for the subsequent arrival or departure.

1.6 Level restrictions for departing traffic: Based on LOA between Mumbai and Pune ATC, the following shall be adhered:

(a) W28 (Westbound Flights): All traffic departing from Pune via W-28 towards Mumbai are generally cleared to climb to FL 80. Further climb above FL80 shall be effected only after achieving positive two-way communication with Mumbai Approach on VHF 127.9 MHz or when explicitly cleared by Pune ATC.

(b) W28 (East bound Flights)/ W-67/ J-2: All traffic departing on given routes are generally cleared to climb to FL 130. Further climb above FL130 shall only be effected after achieving positive two-way communication with Mumbai Approach on VHF133.85 MHz/ 132.7 MHz /125.35 MHz or when explicitly cleared by Pune ATC.

1.7 Restrictions due to aerodrome proximity of Danger/Restricted areas around aerodrome:

(a) All departing aircraft from Runway 28 shall climb to at least 5000 Feet before commencing left turn to avoid overflying VAD-19.

(b) Helicopter operations to helipads located within LFA (VAR-37) shall be conducted on prior clearance from Pune ATC.

1.8 Direct Routings through VAR-37 (Pune LFA)

(a) Considering the military flying operations, all flights including low level traffic intending to route through VAR-37 shall do so only after achieving prior coordination with Pune ATC.

2. ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

2.1 Procedural controlling may be exercised for controllers training during periods of light density traffic. Relevant notice with adequate time will be given on RT and or ATIS.

2.2 Arriving aircraft may be given direct routing with prior coordination with Pune.

No aircraft to route direct unless explicitly cleared by Pune ATC.

2.3 Arriving VFR flights to obtain prior necessary briefing for levels and routing from Pune Radar.
