LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1) PUSHBACK AND START-UP PROCEDURES

i) Aircraft on all stands at Bhogapuram International Airport shall be pushed back from the stand towards the taxilane

centreline, taking into account the taxi route to be followed.

ii) Bhogapuram Ground (frequency 121.800 MHz, or any alternate frequency) shall be contacted for pushback and start up

permission only after the Pilot-In- Command has established that the aircraft is ‘ready’ for pushback/start up.

Note: For the purpose of clarity, ‘ready’ means all doors of the aircraft are closed, the Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB)

/ Step Ladder (s) are disconnected / withdrawn, the tug is connected to the aircraft and the ground engineer is in position

and in contact with the Pilot-In-Command (PIC).

iii) On receiving the above-mentioned information, ATC will allow pushback and start-up of the aircraft depending

on the traffic.

iv) Simultaneous push back from adjacent stands is not permitted.

Note: Adjacent stands shall include associated ‘L’(left) and ‘R’ (right) stands except wherever specified otherwise.

v) The pilot shall adhere strictly to SOP by aircraft manufacturer/ relevant operational manuals for starting up engine(s)

at idle power or at breakaway locations.

vi) Ground crew must strictly follow the safety instructions at all times on hazard zones set out by aircraft manufacturer /

relevant operational manuals.

vii) Deployment of wing walkers/wing guards by airline is mandatory for arrival of aircraft on to stand and prior to

undertaking pushback from any stand at Bhogapuram International Airport.

viii) On receipt of the clearance, the PIC shall read back the pushback clearance given by ATC, then co-ordinate with the

ground crew for the pushback and start-up of the aircraft. The ground crew must ensure that the area in the front,

behind and around the aircraft is clear of personnel, vehicles, equipment and other obstructions before commencing

pushback and start-up of the aircraft.

ix) No engine start-up is allowed on stands before pushback, unless technically essential and coordinated with ground

crew. However, engine start is strictly prohibited on stands 11R, 12L, 12R, 13, 21, and 22 before pushback due to

safety risks.

x) Single-engine start at idle power may be permitted on other stands with ground crew coordination and only after

ensuring the hazard zone is clear.

xi) Cross-bleed start is not allowed during pushback or pull-ahead operations. Cross-bleed start may begin only after the

aircraft is aligned with the TXL centreline and the ground crew has confirmed the area is hazard-free. Ground

crew must always follow aircraft manufacturer’s hazard zone instructions and applicable operational manuals.

xii) Ground crew of aircraft intending to do a cross-bleed start must assess the clearance behind and in-front of aircraft and

in case they feel that there is insufficient clearance, they shall request SMC for repositioning the aircraft to a

position from where cross bleed start can take place. As a broad guideline a separation distance equivalent to

3 (three) aircraft length should be clear behind the aircraft so that there is no jet blast impact behind the aircraft due

to cross bleed start.

xiii) Vehicle or movement of personnel is NOT permitted behind the aircraft once the anti-collision beacons of the aircraft

have been switched ON.

xiv) For aircraft stands without dedicated pushback lines, the stand lead-in line may be used for pushback guidance.

xv) Pilots shall adhere to the pushback and start-up procedures and will use minimum breakaway power.

xvi) Simultaneous pushback (Code C Aircraft only) can be permitted in alternate stands. All aircraft shall pull forward till

abeam lead in line of respective stand.

xvii) Aircraft on Stands 11L, 11 & 11R shall pushback on TXL B7 facing east till pushback limit line and pull forward till

abeam lead-in line of stand no. 11R for engine start up.

xviii) No aircraft on stand 11L, 11, 11R, 12L, 12, 12R, 13 & 14 shall start the aircraft engine while another aircraft is

pushing back from these stands.

xix) Aircraft on stand no. 12L, 12, 12R, 13 & 14 shall pushback on TXL B7 facing east till abeam lead-in line of stand no.

11R for engine start up.

xx) No Simultaneous pushback is permitted on Stands 11L, 11R, 12L, 12R, 13 & 14.

xxi) When aircraft is parked on L or R stand of 11 & 12; centre stand of respective MARS configuration is not available

or when aircraft parked on centre stand of 11 & 12; L or R stand of respective MARS configuration is not available.

xxii) Aircraft on stand no. 17, 18 & 19 shall pushback on to taxilane B8 facing south and pull abeam respective stand for

engine start.

xxiii) All aircraft on stands 20, 21 & 22 shall deep pushback on taxilane B8 facing west till abeam lead-in line of

stand no. 23 for engine start up.

xxiv) Aircraft on stand no. 20, 21 & 22 is not permitted to pushback if the aircraft on stand no. 19 is already pushed back.

xxv) Aircraft on stands 23 & 24 shall pushback on taxilane B8 facing west till pushback limit line and pull forward till

abeam stand no. 23 for engine start up.

xxvi) Aircraft on stands 80 & 81 shall pushback on TXL C facing west till pushback limit line and pull forward abeam

lead-in line of stand no. 80 for engine start up.

2) OTHER RESTRICTIONS:

i) Entry and exit for east apron stands (17 to 24) will be from TXL B8 only.

ii) Entry and exit for west apron stands (11 to 16) will be from TXL B7 only.

TWY A3.

Note: TWY A1 & A2 are not provided in the first phase.

xii) All the aircraft requiring lineup for RWY 10 shall enter Runway via TWY A3 and back track if full length required for

departure.

xiii) No dedicated engine ground run point is established at Bhogapuram International Airport. In case of exigency

requiring high power engine ground run, the portion of Taxiway A between TWY A9 & A10 will be used for high

power engine ground run.

visibility CAT I operations for RWY 28 and LVTO (Low visibility Take Off) for RWY 10 and 28 in Visibility/ RVR

less than 800m/ 550m respectively.

ii) As RCL lights are available at Bhogapuram International Airport, these procedures will be applicable for take-off in

Visibility/RVR below 800m/550m respectively but not below 300m as ASMGCS is not available

d) In case of main power failure, Switchover time for standby power for Aeronautical ground lighting system excluding

critical lighting system is a maximum of 15 seconds.

3. SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES:

i) Duty Air Traffic Control Officer (DATCO) will initiate and co-ordinate with all the concerned agencies for completion of

Safeguarding Procedures before implementation of LVPs.

The Safeguarding Procedures (SP) shall be initiated when: -

a) The visibility/ RVR is less than 1200m and visibility/ RVR is forecasted to deteriorate to 800m or less; and/or

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

Note: The lights may continue to operate on main power supply during Safeguarding Procedures. Whenever LVP is to

be implemented, all lights shall be put on Standby Power Supply (DG set/UPS). This operation needs to be completed

before LVP is implemented.

c) Serviceability of Aeronautical Ground Lights

Note: The Aeronautical Ground Lights must have been inspected during the hour preceding implementation of LVP and

thereafter once every two-hour period. The lighting inspections should be accorded priority.

d) Positioning of 1 CFT each at the two predetermined positions (in front of main fire station and in front of satellite fire

escorted by “Follow-Me” vehicle with two-way communication capabilities.

e) Since ASMGCS is not available, aircraft movement shall be restricted to two aircraft at a time on the apron and one

aircraft at a time in the manoeuvring area.

f) Once the “Low Visibility Procedures in force” the same shall be included in the DATIS.

g) DATCO shall stop all flight operations whenever RVR falls below 350m.

h) P&E team shall continuously monitor the main and standby power during LVP operations and report any unserviceability

to ATC immediately.

4. TERMINATION OF LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES:

i) When visibility/ RVR improves to 800m/550m or more and the cloud ceiling is 200ft or higher and trend is for

iii) On cancelling LVP, following message shall be included in subsequent ATIS broadcasts, “Low Visibility Procedures

cancelled”.

iv) If SPs are in force and LVP are terminated, and if the visibility/ RVR improves and is more than 1200m and/ or cloud

ceiling is 400ft or higher and both are forecast to remain above the required SP criteria, DATCO may cancel the

Safeguarding Procedures.
