FLIGHT PROCEDURES

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:

1.PURPOSE

The Purpose of this SOP is to set out process and procedures to ensure added safety measures during bad weather/poor visibility conditions, to ensure smooth, safe and efficient conduct of aircraft operations, by establishing:

a) Conditions for implementation of LVP.

b) Safeguarding procedure (SP) for implementation of LVP.

c) Procedure for termination of LVP

2. SCOPE

Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham, Ayodhya is certified ILS CAT I aerodrome with a prescribed landing minima of 550 m RVR for RWY 29. The DGCA CAR on All Weather Operations mandates the establishment of Low Visibility Procedures for continuing operations below RVR values of 550 m. Accordingly Low Visibility Procedures have been established at Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham, Ayodhya to enhance and ensure safety during low visibility / bad weather conditions

3. DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS DEFINITIONS:

RVR: Runway visual range (RVR)-The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centre line of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centre line.

Touchdown zone-The portion of a runway, beyond the threshold, where it is intended that landing aero planes first contact the runway.

Obstacle Free Zone: The airspace above the inner approach surface, inner transitional surface and balked landing surface and that portion of the strip bounded by these surfaces, which is not penetrated by any fixed obstacle other than of low mass and frangible mounting, required for air navigation purposes.

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 SP are complete and airport is configured for Low Visibility Procedures and Low Visibility Take-offs.

4.2	Safeguarding Procedures (SP)	Safeguarding Procedures are the necessary actions to prepare the airport for Low Visibility Procedures. They include: a) Carry out Runway, Taxiway, Road Holding, emergency access road and Apron inspection to ensure serviceability of visual aids and Ground Lights. b) Stop all maintenance works on the manoeuvring area and vacate all men, Material and equipment from the manoeuvring area. c) Termination of all work in progress in the localizer and glide path sensitive area. d) Removal of all equipment/material from localizer and glide path sensitive area. e) Restrictions on the movement of vehicles on the manoeuvring area and aprons. Limit the number of vehicles in the manoeuvring area to bare minimum. To meet any inescapable operational needs, vehicles may be escorted by Follow Me under intimation to ATC. f) Barricade provided at road holding point of service road leading to runway and other manoeuvring area is in closed condition except fire station approach road to runway. If traffic lights are provided at road holding point the same should be in ON condition. g) Ensuring availability of secondary power supply for changeover, with switchover time of maximum 1 second for RWY Edge, RWY End and Threshold lights supported by UPS. h) Initiate action for Manual RVR in coordination with IMD, if RVR equipment is unserviceable.	ATC/ARFF/MET
		i) Ops In-charge will co-coordinate with all the concerned agencies for implementation of Low Visibility Procedures. j) Ops In-charge will inspect Movement area, AGL System and Associated Roads with all the concerned HOD as per Check List Note-1: RWY Edge, Threshold lights and RWY End lights may continue to operate on main power supply during safeguarding Procedures. Whenever LVP is to be implemented the RWY Edge, Threshold lights and RWY End lights shall be put on Standby Power Supply (DG set or UPS). This operation needs to be completed before LVP is implemented. Note-2: As UPS is available at Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham, Ayodhya capable of maintaining the required AGL system with one second of Switchover time, the main supply can continue to be the primary source of supply, and the Generator Supply can be kept as Standby Power supply. In case UPS is unserviceable, Generator supply shall be the primary source of power supply and Main power supply shall act as standby power supply.)
4.3	Implementation of SP	When meteorological conditions meet the criteria for initiation of SP as stipulated in Sl. No 4.1, the duty officer tower will inform Ops In-charge. Ops In-charge will coordinate with IC Electrical, Civil, Fire and MT. NOTE: Action to be taken by various agencies is attached as Annexure 1. Ops Inimplementation of SP check list must be completed. When all the concerned agencies have completed their necessary actions, they shall report to DUTY OFFICER TOWER (ATC) that their Safeguarding Procedure (SP) is completed, and the airport is safeguarded for LVP operations.
