| All aircraft must conform to the following procedures.
These procedures may at any time be departed from to the extent
necessary for avoiding immediate danger.
Every operator using the airport shall ensure that at all times
aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least
disturbance practicable over all parts of the island.
Unless ATC otherwise authorizes, Noise Preferential Routing and
Procedures specified in the following tables shall apply to all
aircraft approaching, landing, going around or taking off in accordance
with the ATC clearance and shall apply in both VMC and IMC.
Take-off Procedures
Take-off procedures - runway 09 and 27 - climb straight ahead
to at least 1500 ft aal or 3 DME which ever is the earliest before
turning on course.
Special VFR/VFR Flights - take-off - aircraft
proceeding on a clearance at or below 1000 ft QNH, continue straight
ahead until clear of the coastlinebefore turning on course. Aircraft
climbing to higher altitudes/flight levels, climb straight ahead
to at least 1500 feet QNH or 3 miles DME, whichever is the earlier
before turning on course.
Landing Procedures
Visual Approaches
Aircraft carrying out visual approaches should proceed as follows
MTOW 5700 Kgs or less-
Join the final approach at not less than and maintain 836 feet
QNH ( 500 feet QFE) until intercepting on the glidepath PAPI indications.
MTOW greater that 5700Kgs-
Join the final approach before crossing the coastline. Any aircraft
overflying the Island to position on final approach must do so
at an altitude of not less than 1500 feet QFE.
Jet Aircraft Procedures
The Noise Preferential Routeings and Procedures specified above
will be used except that on 'going around', aircraft operating
under IFR will, unless otherwise instructed, carry out the published
missed approach procedure. Aircraft operating under VFR/SVFR will
carry out a missed approach procedure as instructed by Air Traffic
Control.
The use of this airport by jet aircraft will be permitted only
between 0800-2000 (winter), 0700-1900 (summer), except in extenuating
circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are deemed to mean:
- where technical or mechanical failure in an aircraft necessitates
an immediate landing;
- where an aircraft is en-route for another destination but
through stress of weather or other circumstances, cannot land
at any other place
and is diverted to Guernsey Airport as being the nearest available
airport suitable to accept the particular type of aircraft;
- where, due to weather conditions, a considerable number of
passengers are delayed;
- approved 'quiet' jet aircraft may be permitted to operate
during Airport hours;
- Training flights by approved 'quiet' jet aircraft may be permitted
between 0800 and 2000 (winter), 0700 and 1900 (summer), Monday
to
Saturday inclusive (Details from ATC).
All aircraft are to avoid overflying the Princess Elizabeth Hospital
(2 NM ENE of the aerodrome) at less than 1000ft AGL. |
