v. All turbo-jet aircraft or turbo-fan aircraft departing
from runway 27 shall attain a height of 1500 ft QNH and shall
have passed the end of the runway before commencing any turn.
vi Aircraft 'going around' from an approach to runway 27 shall
not commence any turn until passed the end of the runway and
shall avoid over flying Castle Donington (sector 360 deg MAG
to 065 deg MAG, radius .65 nm from the localizer).
vii. All turbo-jet and turbo-fan aircraft and aircraft in excess
of a
gross weight of 17000 kg, departing 'Northbound' from runway
09
shall, as soon as practical after passing the end of the runway,
track 097 degrees MAG to 1.5 nm before turning left in accordance
with their issued clearance between the hours of 2200-0700 (Winter)
and 2100-600 (Summer)
viii. All turbo-jet, turbo-fan aircraft and aircraft in excess
of a
gross weight of 17000 kg, departing 'Southbound' from runway
09
shall, as soon as practical after passing the end of the runway,
track 097 degrees MAG to 2.0 nm before turning right in accordance
with their issued clearance between the hours of 2200-0700 (Winter)
and 2100-0600 (Summer).
4. Take-off Procedures Runway 27 between
the hours of 2200-0700 (Winter and 2100-0600 (Summer)
All departures should be from Whiskey. Runway length from abeam
Whiskey is 2464 m: full length take-off is available on request
for operational performance reasons, or for ATC requirements only.
When full length is requested, aircraft may be held at A3 prior
to entering Runway 27 at A1.
5. Preferred Runway Usage During light wind
conditions, landing aircraft may be required to land on
runway 27 subject to a maximum tailwind of 5 kt and dry runway
conditions.
6. ILS Approaches
When using the ILS in IMC or VMC, aircraft shall not descend below
2000 ft QNH before intercepting the glidepath, nor thereafter
fly below it. Aircraft approaching without assistance from radar
or the ILS shall not at may time follow a descent lower than that
which would result from an approach using guidance from ILS.
7. Continuous Descent, Low Power, Low Drag Approaches
a. Turbo-jet and turbo-prop aircraft are expected to apply
continuous descent, low power, low drag approach techniques
at all times
b. Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft are to maintain
as high an altitude as practical and adopt a low power, low
drag, continuous descent approach profile. ATC will provide
estimated track distance to touchdown to allow pilots to descend
at a rate they judge best suited to achieve continuous descent
without using more power or drag than necessary. The object
will be to join the glidepath at the appropriate height for
the distance without level flight.
c. To facilitate these techniques aircraft should be flown no
faster than 250kts from the Speed Limiting Points and below
FL100 and 250kts-210kts during the intermediate approach phase.
Thereafter speed should be managed so as to achieve a continuous
descent using as little power or drag as possible. ATC may impose
speed control if required for separation purposes
d. ATC will provide regular range checks. Pilots who require
additional track mileage to facilitate a successful CDA should
inform ATC as soon as the requirement is apparent.
8. Reverse Thrust
Pilots are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust or reverse
pitch above idle power settings on landing, consistent with the
safe operation of the aircraft between the hours of 2200-0700
(Winter) and 2100-0600 (Summer)
9. Visual circuits
a. Large aircraft and all turbo-jet and turbo-fan aircraft,
when carrying out circuits, shall be flown at a height of at
least 2000 ft QNH and turns onto the crosswind leg must not
be initiated until after passing the up-wind end of the runway.
b. Pilots shall avoid making their final turn on approach to
runway 27 over the village of Kegworth. All circuits to the
south of the aerodrome must keep clear and south of the village
of Diseworth, all circuits to the north of the aerodrome must
keep clear and north of the village of Castle Donington.
10. Training Flights
Training requires the prior approval of ATC. Permission will only
be given for such flights between 0800-2100 (winter) and 0700-2000
(summer). Training will only be permitted by based operators,
regular users of the airport or non-jet aircraft below 5700KG
MTOW. Training on Saturdays, Sundays and UK public holidays will
not be permitted except by non-jet aircraft below 5700kg MTOW.
Requests for training with Chapter 2 aircraft types will not be
approved at any time.
11. Engine Running
Engine running of aircraft will not be approved between 2300-0600
(Winter) and 2200-0500 (Summer), unless an aircraft is urgently
required to provide an operational service. For further information
contact the Airside Operations Supervisor on Tel: 01332-852925.
12. Auxiliary Power Units (APU)
a. Use of APU shall be limited as much as possible.
b. APU may be used:
i. 5 minutes after 'On blocks';
ii. 30 minutes before Estimated Time of Departure (ETD)
13. Operation Restrictions
QC8 and QC16 aircraft movements must not be scheduled between
the hours of 2300-0700 (winter) and 2200-0600 (summer). QC8 and
QC16 movements between these times require prior permission of
the Airport and will incur a surcharge of £5000 and £10000 sterling respectively. For further information contact ATC using
+44(0)871-919 9000 Ext 2993.
14. Operation Restrictions
A surcharge up to 200% is payable on QC8 and QC16 aircraft that
arrive or
depart between 2300-0700 (Winter) and 2200-0600 (Summer). Scheduled
services by QC8 and QC16 aircraft are not permitted between these
times. For further information telephone either +44(0)1332-852894
or +44(0)1332-852971
15. Night Noise Limits
Aircraft departing between 2300 and 0700 local time are required
to operate within a maximum noise limit (measured at a distance
of 6.5 km from start of roll). The maximum noise limits are defined
as follows:
|
Definition |
Limit dB(A) |
| Aircraft with a QC on departure of 8 or 16 |
See para 13 |
| Aircraft with a MTOW of 300 tonnes or greater |
92 |
| Aircraft with a MTOW greater than 100 tonnes but less than
300 tonnes. |
87 |
| Aircraft with a MTOW of 100 tonnes or less. |
83 |
