LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1. No aircraft shall make lock turn/ pivotal turn on the Runway to avoid pavement damage.

2. Portion beyond inset RWY fitting END light for RWY25 including turn pad is not available for aircraft operations. ACFT

LDG RWY 25 or departure rwy 07 to make 180 degree turn on the Runway.

3. ACFT LDG RWY 07 or departure RWY 25 to make 180 degree turn on turn pad RWY 25 only.

4. RADIO COMMUNICATION FALIURE 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 Bhavnagar Airport.

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

situation at Bhavnagar 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 aircraft visual with ATC Tower) or to transmit, if possible, a specified signal in order to indicate acknowledgment.

2.2 BHAVNAGAR 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 the 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

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

advised of any runway, Runway 25 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 (128.025 MHz) Broadcast.

3.2 In case of departures from Bhavnagar airport is returning due to RCF, Runway 25 shall be considered as the assigned

runway for landing, irrespective of the runway used fordeparture.

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 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 rocedure 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 and carry out the missed approach procedure and join the VOR (114.100) BVR

holding procedure climbing to and maintaining 2400 ft.

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

continue on the ATS route maintaining filed fligh plan level or level cleared by adjacent ATC/ ACC Unit i.e. VASU ATC,

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

1.INTRODUCTION

1.1 Until the latest amendment of DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) section 8, Series ‘C’, Part-I on All-Weather Operations, Low visibility procedures were required at aerodromes for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II and III approaches and/or low visibility take-offs (LVTO).

1.2 However, in latest amendment to CAR (Rev. 10, issue Oct 2022), para 5.3, following provision regarding Low visibility procedures is added. “An operator shall not conduct takeoff with RVR/visibility less than standard Category I conditions of 550 m RVR/800 m visibility unless low visibility procedures are enforced”.

1.3 Further, as per para 5.2 of DGCA CAR Section 8, Series C, Part-1 on All Weather Operations, “An operator shall not conduct low visibility take-offs in less than 400 m RVR unless approved by DGCA. Operators may be authorized LVTO minima of up to 75m”.

1.4 These provisions necessitated the need for 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

1.5 As per provisions of Aerodrome Design and Operations CAR and ICAO Annex 14, Runway centre line lights are required for take-off in RVR below 400 M. Further, as per Aerodrome Design and operations CAR para 9.8.7, Surface Movement Radar (SMR) need to be provided at an aerodrome intended for use in Runway Visual Range conditions less than a value of 350 M.

1.6 Accordingly, as per the provisions of DGCA CAR Section 8, Series C, Part-1 on All Weather Operations; DGCA CAR Section 4, Series B, Part-1 on Aerodrome Design and Operations; ICAO DOC 9365; DGCA Aerodrome Advisory Circular AD AC NO. 4 of 2022; and DGCA letter no. AV1503/02/03-AL dated 12.01.2018; Low visibility Procedures have been developed for BHAVNAGAR Airport to accommodate/permit departures in Visibility/RVR less than 800M/550M up to 400 M RVR from RWY 25.

2. PURPOSE

2.1 The purpose of this document is to define the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Low Visibility Procedures at Bhavnagar Airport.

3. SCOPE

3.1 This is applicable to all the concerned personnel involved in the Low Visibility Procedures as mentioned in this SOP.

3.2 The Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) describe the procedures and actions that are required to be taken by the Air Traffic Control (ATC), Pilots, Airline Operators, MET dept, Vehicle Operators, Airport Operations, Electrical Engg., CNS, Airport Fire Services and Ground Handling Agencies during Low Visibility procedures - Take-Off at Bhavnagar Airport.

3.3 The procedures contained in this document shall be read in conjunction with other applicable ICAO DOCs and Annexes / DGCA CARs and relevant circulars, AAI CHQ/RHQ instructions on the subject issued from time to time.

4. DEFINITIONS

4.1 Aerodrome Operating Minima:

The limits of usability of an aerodrome for:

i) take-off, expressed in terms of runway visual range and/or visibility and, if necessary, cloud conditions.

ii) 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

iii) landing in 3D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range and decision altitude/height (DA/H) appropriate to the type and/or category of the operation.

4.2 Instrument approach operations (Annex 6): An approach and landing using instruments for navigation guidance based on an instrument approach procedure. There are two methods for executing instrument approach operations:

i) a two-dimensional (2D) instrument approach operation, using lateral navigation guidance only; and

ii) a three-dimensional (3D) instrument approach operation, using both lateral and vertical navigation guidance

Note - Lateral and vertical navigation guidance refers to the guidance provided either by:

i) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or

ii) computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, self-contained navigation aids or a combination of these.

Instrument approach operations shall be classified based on the designed lowest operating minima below which an approach operation shall only be continued with the required visual reference as follows:

i) Type A: a minimum descent height or decision height at or above 75 m (250 ft); and

ii) Type B: a decision height below 75 m (250 ft). Type B instrument approach operations are categorized as:

a) Category I (CAT I): a decision height not lower than 60 m (200 ft) and with either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m;

b) Category II (CAT II): a decision height lower than 60 m (200 ft) but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and a runway visual range not less than 300 m;

c) Category III (CAT III): a decision height lower than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range less than 300 m or no runway visual range limitations.

4.3 Decision Altitude/Height: A specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established.

Note: Decision altitude (DA) is referenced to mean sea level and decision height (DH) is referenced to the threshold elevation.

4.4 ILS Critical Area: An area of defined dimensions about the localizer and glide path antennas where aircraft and vehicles are excluded during all ILS operations. The critical area is protected because the presence of vehicles / or aircraft inside its boundaries will cause unacceptable disturbance to the ILS signal-in-space.

4.5 ILS Sensitive Area: An area extending beyond the ILS critical area where the parking and/or movement of vehicles, including aircraft, are controlled to prevent the possibility of unacceptable interference to the ILS signal during ILS operations. The sensitive area is protected to provide protection against interferences cause by large moving objects outside the critical area but still normally within the airfield boundary.

4.6 Low Visibility Procedures: Specific procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II/ 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.

4.7 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 400m.

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

4.9 Movement Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, consisting of the manoeuvring area and the apron(s).

4.10 Runway Visual Range: 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.

4.11 Visibility (Doc 9365): Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of:

i) 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;

ii) 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 ii) varies with the background illumination. The former i) 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.

When any of the light/equipment mentioned in para 7.1 above becomes un-serviceable or fails to meet the required standard during periods of LVP, TWR shall advise the aircraft accordingly and LVP shall be suspended and information to this effect shall be included in ATIS broadcast.

8.SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES

8.1 Safeguarding Procedures (SP) are instructions for relevant airport departments to prepare ground services and facilities for low visibility operations in order that when LVP are implemented all safeguarding procedures are complete. WSO/Duty Officer Tower will initiate and co-coordinate with all the concerned agencies for completion of safeguarding procedures before implementation of Low Visibility Procedures.

8.2 Safeguarding Procedures shall be initiated when:

i) The Visibility/RVR is less than 1200m and visibility/RVR is forecast to deteriorate to 800 m or less; and/or

ii) The cloud ceiling is less than 400ft and forecast to fall to 200ft or less.

8.3 Whenever meteorological conditions stipulated in para 8.2 prevails or anticipated WSO/Duty Officer Tower shall coordinate with Airport Rescue Fire Station (ARFS) for implementing the Safeguarding Procedures (SP). WSO/Duty Officer Tower shall also coordinate with following agencies for initiation of implementation/ cancellation/completion of SP as appropriate.

8.3.1 Coordination responsibilities are divided as follows:

i) ATC will inform:

a) Airport Rescue Fire Station (ARFS)

b) CNS/Equipment Room

c) Duty MET Officer

d) Airside Operations/Management (ASM)

ii) Airside Operations (ASM) will inform:

a) Concerned Airlines

b) Terminal Manager

c) Electrical Engineering/Powerhouse

d) M. T. Section

e) Civil Engineering

f) CISF

g) BPCL

8.4 The ASM will inform the above-listed agencies (Airlines, BPCL, Electrical, Civil, M.T., T.M. and CISF) and, upon confirmation of the implementation of safeguarding procedures, will confirm it to ATC.

8.5 When all the concerned agencies have completed their necessary actions, they shall report to WSO/Duty Officer Tower that their Safeguarding Procedure (SP) is completed and the airport is safeguarded for LVP operations.

8.6 Actions to be taken by Various Agencies:

8.6.1 Before commencement of winter season, a meeting will be held by Airport Director in the month of October every year to inform all airlines and agencies operating at airport about their roles/ responsibilities and create awareness to ensure cooperation for safe airport operations during periods of low visibility.

8.6.2 A refresher program for ATCO’s and personnel responsible for airside operations should be conducted every year.

8.6.3 All the agencies shall ensure that staff and drivers are suitably trained during Low visibility procedure operations.

8.7 WSO/Duty Officer Tower shall ensure that the provision mentioned in para 8.7 are complied in respect of SP and proper log entry shall be made in respect of initiation of implementation/ cancellation/completion of SP as appropriate.

8.8 Safeguarding procedures include:

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

1.INTRODUCTION

1.3 Further, as per para 5.2 of DGCA CAR Section 8, Series C, Part-1 on All Weather Operations, “An operator shall not conduct low visibility take-offs in less than 400 m RVR unless approved by DGCA. Operators may be authorized LVTO minima of up to 75m”.

1.4 These provisions necessitated the need for 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

2. PURPOSE

2.1 The purpose of this document is to define the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Low Visibility Procedures at Bhavnagar Airport.

3. SCOPE

3.1 This is applicable to all the concerned personnel involved in the Low Visibility Procedures as mentioned in this SOP.

3.3 The procedures contained in this document shall be read in conjunction with other applicable ICAO DOCs and Annexes / DGCA CARs and relevant circulars, AAI CHQ/RHQ instructions on the subject issued from time to time.

4. DEFINITIONS

4.1 Aerodrome Operating Minima:

The limits of usability of an aerodrome for:

i) take-off, expressed in terms of runway visual range and/or visibility and, if necessary, cloud conditions.

ii) 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

iii) landing in 3D instrument approach operations, expressed in terms of visibility and/or runway visual range and decision altitude/height (DA/H) appropriate to the type and/or category of the operation.

4.2 Instrument approach operations (Annex 6): An approach and landing using instruments for navigation guidance based on an instrument approach procedure. There are two methods for executing instrument approach operations:

i) a two-dimensional (2D) instrument approach operation, using lateral navigation guidance only; and

ii) a three-dimensional (3D) instrument approach operation, using both lateral and vertical navigation guidance

Note - Lateral and vertical navigation guidance refers to the guidance provided either by:

i) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or

ii) computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, self-contained navigation aids or a combination of these.

Instrument approach operations shall be classified based on the designed lowest operating minima below which an approach operation shall only be continued with the required visual reference as follows:

i) Type A: a minimum descent height or decision height at or above 75 m (250 ft); and

ii) Type B: a decision height below 75 m (250 ft). Type B instrument approach operations are categorized as:

a) Category I (CAT I): a decision height not lower than 60 m (200 ft) and with either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m;

b) Category II (CAT II): a decision height lower than 60 m (200 ft) but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and a runway visual range not less than 300 m;

c) Category III (CAT III): a decision height lower than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a runway visual range less than 300 m or no runway visual range limitations.

4.3 Decision Altitude/Height: A specified altitude or height in a 3D instrument approach operation at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established.

Note: Decision altitude (DA) is referenced to mean sea level and decision height (DH) is referenced to the threshold elevation.

4.6 Low Visibility Procedures: Specific procedures applied at an aerodrome for the purpose of ensuring safe operations during Categories II/ 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.

4.7 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 400m.

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

4.9 Movement Area: That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, consisting of the manoeuvring area and the apron(s).

4.10 Runway Visual Range: 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.

4.11 Visibility (Doc 9365): Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of:

i) 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;

ii) 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 ii) varies with the background illumination. The former i) 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.
