7. RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE PROCEDURES
The Radio Communication Failure procedures established herein are based on the provisions of ICAO PANS ATM DOC 4444. The objective is to standardize the actions to be taken by the pilot of arriving and departing aircraft experiencing radio communication failure at Amritsar airport, when ATS surveillance system is used in the provision of approach control in such airspace and during the periods of non-availability of ATS surveillance system in part or whole of the concerned airspace in Amritsar, the provisions of ICAO PANS ATM DOC 4444 shall be followed:
7.1 General
7.1.1 All Transponder equipped aircraft experiencing Radio Communication Failure shall set transponder to Mode A/C code 7600 as soon as practicable.
(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).
7.1.2 An aircraft equipped with other surveillance system transmitters like ADS-B, might indicate the loss of air-ground communication by all of the available means.
7.1.3 Immediately after detection of RCF, the pilot shall try to communicate to the concerned ATS unit through the frequencies of adjacent units/stations, or 121.5 MHz or by relay through other aircraft. The RCF aircraft shall also try to contact the appropriate HF frequencies to relay messages to the concerned ATS unit.
7.1.4 Aircraft shall avoid all Prohibited, Restricted and active Danger Areas. Aircraft shall not enter Pakistan airspace if flight plan does not include Lahore FIR unless emergency conditions warrant so. If aircraft is observed entering any of the areas mentioned above Amritsar ATC unit shall inform the units concerned accordingly.
7.1.5 Pilot shall make blind transmission to ATC of all necessary reports and actions taken by the aircraft, e.g. descent, turn, proceeding to waypoint etc., irrespective of whether partial/ complete RCF has been established or not.
7.2 Assigned Runway and its availability for RCF Aircraft
7.2.1 In case of arriving aircraft experiencing RCF, when Runway for landing has already been advised to the aircraft by ATC, such runway shall be considered as assigned runway. If an arriving aircraft has not been advised of any runway for landing, Runway 34 shall be considered as assigned runway for such arrival.
7.2.2 In case of departures from Amritsar returning on account of RCF, the departure runway of such aircraft shall be considered as assigned runway for landing.
7.2.3 Runway lights and approach lights of the assigned runway in ‘SWITCHED ON’ position shall indicate the availability of such Runway for aircraft experiencing RCF.
7.2.4 Irrespective of day/night/visibility/weather conditions, Runway and Approach lights in ‘SWITCHED OFF’ position shall indicate non-availability of such Runway for aircraft experiencing RCF.
7.2.5 In case strong tail wind conditions are encountered during approach for the assigned Runway, the aircraft experiencing RCF will carry out a missed approach on assigned runway and after following complete missed approach procedure for such approach, aircraft will carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for the opposite runway.
7.3 Procedure for Arrivals
7.3.1 When an Arriving aircraft is being radar vectored for approach, on experiencing RCF, shall maintain last assigned level and heading for 3 minutes after detecting RCF or selecting MODE A/C 7600, whichever is later and then take a convenient turn to proceed direct to ‘AAR’ VOR/ ‘AR’ NDB descending/maintaining last assigned level, or 2800 FT
|
whichever is higher. (Aircraft shall avoid all Restricted Areas and active Danger Areas. Aircraft shall not enter Pakistan airspace if flight plan does not include Lahore FIR unless emergency conditions warrant so.) If higher, descend to 2800 FT in ‘AAR/AR’ hold. Leave ‘AAR’ VOR/ ‘AR’ NDB at 2800 FT to carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for assigned runway.
7.3.2 If radio communication failure occurs after the receipt of interception turn of the final approach track or approach clearance, the aircraft may continue its approach to land on such Runway.
7.3.3 If the aircraft has landed on Rwy 16 or Rwy 34, it shall vacate Rwy via Twy F and follow FOLLOW ME jeep to the parking bay.
7.4 Procedure for Departures
7.4.1 Departure aircraft experiencing RCF and intending to continue to destination
7.4.1.1 Departure aircraft experiencing RCF following Radar heading or have been directed by ATC to proceed offset using RNAV without a specified limit, shall Continue on assigned heading climbing to or maintaining cleared level following level restrictions if so specified in ATC clearance. Three minute after setting Mode A/C code 7600 or reaching cleared Flight level whichever is later aircraft shall proceed direct to re-join the current flight plan route not later than the next significant point, maintaining cleared flight level. After joining ATS route, climb to filed Flight level and continue as per the filed flight plan. (Aircraft shall avoid all Prohibited, Restricted and active Danger Areas. Aircraft shall not enter Pakistan airspace if flight plan does not include Lahore FIR unless emergency conditions warrant so.)
7.4.2 Departure aircraft experiencing RCF and intending to land back at Amritsar shall
7.4.2.1 Continue on Radar heading, climbing to or maintaining the cleared Flight level. However, in case the RCF is experienced below FL090 and the cleared flight level is above FL090, aircraft shall maintain FL090
7.4.2.2 Three minutes after setting Mode A/C code 7600 or reaching the appropriate level as given above, whichever is later; take a turn to proceed direct to ‘AAR’ maintaining level.
7.4.2.3 Descend to 2800 FT in ‘AAR’ hold. Leave ‘AAR’ at 2800 FT to carry out any of the published instrument approach procedure for assigned runway.
Note: - In Case of Non-availability of AAR or AR NDB, aircraft can continue instrument approach and land with the help of ILS by using RNAV systems to fly conventional instrument approach procedures up to Final Approach Fix/Point IFAF/FAP)
7.5 Procedure for VFR traffic
7.5.1 In the event of a VFR flight experiencing RCF within the Control Zone of Amritsar, it shall continue to fly in VMC, land at the nearest suitable aerodrome/helicopter point and report its arrival by the most expeditious means to the ATC, Amritsar.
