2. RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE PROCEDURE:

1. INTRODUCTION:

Radio communication failure procedures are described in 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 Surat Airport.

The purpose of this document is to establish the standard procedure to handle the event of a radio communication

failure situation at Surat airport to ensure safe and efficient aircraft operation.

2. GENERAL

2.1 As soon as it is known to ATC that two-way communication has failed, the action shall be taken to ascertain whether the

aircraft is able to receive transmissions from the air traffic control unit by requesting it to execute a specified manoeuvre

(if the aircraftvisual with ATC Tower) or to transmit, if possible, a specified signal in order to indicate acknowledgment.

2.2 SURAT ATC shall immediately forward information concerning the radio communication failure to all air traffic units

concerned along the route of the flight

2.3 All Transponder-equipped aircraft experiencing Radio Communication failure shall set transponder to Mode A/C code

7600 as soon as practicable

2.4 Immediately after detection of RCF, the aircraft shall attempt to establish communications with the appropriate air traffic

control unit using all other available means. In addition, the aircraft shall keep a watch for any instructions that may be

issued by visual signals.

2.5 The 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.

2.6 Aircraft experiencing radio communication failure shall be provided all required information necessary for the safe

and efficient conduct of flight and landing clearance without expecting acknowledgment.

3. ASSIGNED RUNWAY AND ITS AVAILABILITY FOR RCF AIRCRAFT:

3.1 In case of an arriving aircraft experiencing RCF, when the Runway for landing has already been advised to the aircraft

by SURAT ATC via VHF, such runway shall be considered as the assigned runway. If an arriving aircraft has not been

advised of any runway, Runway 22 shall be considered as an assigned runway for such arrival.

NOTE: In the case of RCF, pilots shall not assume runway on the basis of ATIS (127.075MHZ) Broadcast.

3.2 In case of departures from Surat airport is returning due to RCF, Runway 22 shall be considered as the assigned runway

for landing, irrespective of the runway used for departure.

3.3 Runway lights and Approach lights shall be in the ‘SWITCHED ON’ position to indicate the availability of such

Runway for aircraft experiencing RCF irrespective of visibility and Day or Night.

3.4 Runway and Approach lights in the ‘SWITCHED OFF’ position shall indicate the non-availability of such Runway for

aircraft experiencing RCF.

3.5 In case strong tailwind conditions are encountered during approach for

3.6 the Runway as mentioned in para 3.1, the aircraft experiencing RCF will carry out a missed approach on the runway as

mentioned in para 3.1 and after following the complete missed approach procedure for such approach, aircraft will carry out

the published approach procedure for the opposite runway.

4. PROCEDURE FOR ARRIVALS:

4.1 In case radio communication failure takes place after establishing the ILS/final approach track, aircraft may continue the

approach and land if visual or go around andcarry out the missed approach procedure and join the VOR (112.2) SUR

holdingprocedure climbing to and maintaining 3100ft.

.4.2 Except when descent clearance has already been received from ATC SURAT and acknowledged, the pilot shall continue

on the ATS route maintaining filed flight plan level or level cleared by adjacent area control unit i.e. VABB AREA or

VAAH AREA and do not commence descent before 20-mile VOR (112.2) SUR.

4.3 After crossing 20-mile, the pilot shall descend to FL080 to join the published hold over VOR (112.2) SUR for the

runway as mentioned in para 3.1.

4.4 Commence descent to 3100 feet in published hold over VOR (112.2) SUR at, or as close as possible to, the expected

approach time (EAT) last received and acknowledged; or, if no expected approach time (EAT) has been received and

acknowledged, at, or as close as possible to, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) over SUR VOR.

4.5 Leave VOR (112.2) SUR and carry out the published ILS/VOR Procedure for the runway as mentioned in para 3.1.

4.6 Land, if possible, within 30 minutes after the estimated time of arrival (ETA) or the last acknowledged expected

approach time (EAT), whichever is later.

5. PROCEDURE FOR DEPARTURES:

5.1 Departing aircraft experiencing radio communication failure and intending to continue to its filed flight plan destination

shall:

5.1.1 Continue ATS route as per filed flight plan, climbing to/maintaining cleared and acknowledged flight level, or

minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 20 minutes following the aircraft’s failure to report its position over

compulsory reporting point and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan to destination.

5.1.2 When the aircraft is given clearance for offset from flight plan route in without a specified limit, re-join the current

flight plan route after passing 20Mile from SUR VOR but no later than the next significant point, taking into consideration

the applicable minimum flight altitude.

5.2 A departing aircraft, experiencing radio communication failure and intending to land back at Surat Airport, shall:

5.2.1 Maintain the last assigned level, or minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 10 minutes on the flight plan route

or on offset radial as cleared in ATC clearance.

5.2.2 After 10 minutes turn towards VOR (112.2) SUR via the same flight plan route or radial as per departure clearance. On

Reaching VOR (112.2) SUR joins hold as published.

5.2.3 If required jettison fuel, then remain in hold over VOR (112.2) SUR after taking all precautions.

5.2.4 Commence descent in the hold to 3100 feet. Leave VOR (112.2) SUR and carry out the published ILS/VOR Procedure

for the runway as mentioned in para 3.2

.

5.3 Procedures for VFR Traffic:

5.3.1 In case of a VFR flight experiencing RCF and does not intend to land at Surat:

It shall continue to fly in VMC, land at the nearest suitable aerodrome/helipad, and report its arrival by the most expeditious

means to the ATC, Surat.

5.3.2 In case of a VFR flight experiencing RCF and intending to land at Surat:

a) Proceed according to the current flight plan route in VMC and maintain the altitude/level last assigned and acknowledged.

b) Proceed towards 15 miles NW/SE of the field subject to arrival route and descent 1500 ft AGL.

c) Maintaining 1500 ft AGL proceed to Surat to join the traffic circuit for the last acknowledged Runway or the Runway as

per para 3.1.

d) Carry out a complete aerodrome traffic circuit and land on the last acknowledged Runway or the Runway as per para 3.1

• When Surat ATC becomes aware of the RCF of the aircraft, the controller concerned shall accord priority for the RCF

aircraft to land.

• If the aircraft re-establishes communication or has landed, the ATC unit shall inform all concerned units/aerodromes

along the route as per the flight plan including the alternate aerodrome.

5.4 Various Signals used by ATCO during communication failure

Air traffic controllers have ALDIS lamps as backup systems for communication if the radio fails.

The various signals used by the ATCO during communication failure are as follows	Aircraft in Flight	Aircraft on the ground
Steady green	Cleared to land	Cleared for take-off
Steady red	Give way to other aircraft, continue circling	Stop
A series of green flashes	Return for landing* (*Clearances to land and to taxi will be given in due course.)	Cleared to taxi
Series of red flashes	The aerodrome is unsafe, do not land	Taxi clear of landing area in use
Series of white flashes	Land at this aerodrome and proceed to the apron*	Return to starting point on the aerodrome
Alternate Red and Green	Exercise extreme caution	Exercise extreme caution
Blinking runway lights	Vehicles, Plans, and pedestrians immediately clear the landing area in use

turn, proceeding to waypoint, etc., irrespective of whether partial/ complete RCF has been established or not.

2.6 Aircraft experiencing radio communication failure shall be provided all required information necessary for the safe

and efficient conduct of flight and landing clearance without expecting acknowledgment.

3. ASSIGNED RUNWAY AND ITS AVAILABILITY FOR RCF AIRCRAFT:

3.1 In case of an arriving aircraft experiencing RCF, when the Runway for landing has already been advised to the aircraft

by SURAT ATC via VHF, such runway shall be considered as the assigned runway. If an arriving aircraft has not been

advised of any runway, Runway 22 shall be considered as an assigned runway for such arrival.

NOTE: In the case of RCF, pilots shall not assume runway on the basis of ATIS (127.075MHZ) Broadcast.

3.2 In case of departures from Surat airport is returning due to RCF, Runway 22 shall be considered as the assigned runway

for landing, irrespective of the runway used for departure.

3.3 Runway lights and Approach lights shall be in the ‘SWITCHED ON’ position to indicate the availability of such

Runway for aircraft experiencing RCF irrespective of visibility and Day or Night.

3.4 Runway and Approach lights in the ‘SWITCHED OFF’ position shall indicate the non-availability of such Runway for

aircraft experiencing RCF.

3.5 In case strong tailwind conditions are encountered during approach for

3.6 the Runway as mentioned in para 3.1, the aircraft experiencing RCF will carry out a missed approach on the runway as

mentioned in para 3.1 and after following the complete missed approach procedure for such approach, aircraft will carry out

the published approach procedure for the opposite runway.

4. PROCEDURE FOR ARRIVALS:

4.1 In case radio communication failure takes place after establishing the ILS/final approach track, aircraft may continue the

approach and land if visual or go around andcarry out the missed approach procedure and join the VOR (112.2) SUR

holdingprocedure climbing to and maintaining 3100ft.

.4.2 Except when descent clearance has already been received from ATC SURAT and acknowledged, the pilot shall continue

on the ATS route maintaining filed flight plan level or level cleared by adjacent area control unit i.e. VABB AREA or

VAAH AREA and do not commence descent before 20-mile VOR (112.2) SUR.

4.3 After crossing 20-mile, the pilot shall descend to FL080 to join the published hold over VOR (112.2) SUR for the

runway as mentioned in para 3.1.

4.4 Commence descent to 3100 feet in published hold over VOR (112.2) SUR at, or as close as possible to, the expected

approach time (EAT) last received and acknowledged; or, if no expected approach time (EAT) has been received and

acknowledged, at, or as close as possible to, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) over SUR VOR.

4.5 Leave VOR (112.2) SUR and carry out the published ILS/VOR Procedure for the runway as mentioned in para 3.1.

4.6 Land, if possible, within 30 minutes after the estimated time of arrival (ETA) or the last acknowledged expected

approach time (EAT), whichever is later.

5. PROCEDURE FOR DEPARTURES:

5.1 Departing aircraft experiencing radio communication failure and intending to continue to its filed flight plan destination

shall:

5.1.1 Continue ATS route as per filed flight plan, climbing to/maintaining cleared and acknowledged flight level, or

minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 20 minutes following the aircraft’s failure to report its position over

compulsory reporting point and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan to destination.

5.1.2 When the aircraft is given clearance for offset from flight plan route in without a specified limit, re-join the current

flight plan route after passing 20Mile from SUR VOR but no later than the next significant point, taking into consideration

the applicable minimum flight altitude.

5.2 A departing aircraft, experiencing radio communication failure and intending to land back at Surat Airport, shall:

5.2.1 Maintain the last assigned level, or minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 10 minutes on the flight plan route

or on offset radial as cleared in ATC clearance.

5.2.2 After 10 minutes turn towards VOR (112.2) SUR via the same flight plan route or radial as per departure clearance. On

Reaching VOR (112.2) SUR joins hold as published.

5.2.3 If required jettison fuel, then remain in hold over VOR (112.2) SUR after taking all precautions.

5.2.4 Commence descent in the hold to 3100 feet. Leave VOR (112.2) SUR and carry out the published ILS/VOR Procedure

for the runway as mentioned in para 3.2

.

5.3 Procedures for VFR Traffic:

5.3.1 In case of a VFR flight experiencing RCF and does not intend to land at Surat:

It shall continue to fly in VMC, land at the nearest suitable aerodrome/helipad, and report its arrival by the most expeditious

means to the ATC, Surat.

5.3.2 In case of a VFR flight experiencing RCF and intending to land at Surat:

a) Proceed according to the current flight plan route in VMC and maintain the altitude/level last assigned and acknowledged.

b) Proceed towards 15 miles NW/SE of the field subject to arrival route and descent 1500 ft AGL.

c) Maintaining 1500 ft AGL proceed to Surat to join the traffic circuit for the last acknowledged Runway or the Runway as

per para 3.1.

d) Carry out a complete aerodrome traffic circuit and land on the last acknowledged Runway or the Runway as per para 3.1

• When Surat ATC becomes aware of the RCF of the aircraft, the controller concerned shall accord priority for the RCF

aircraft to land.

• If the aircraft re-establishes communication or has landed, the ATC unit shall inform all concerned units/aerodromes

along the route as per the flight plan including the alternate aerodrome.

5.4 Various Signals used by ATCO during communication failure

Air traffic controllers have ALDIS lamps as backup systems for communication if the radio fails.

The various signals used by the ATCO during communication failure are as follows
