EHRD AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

1 SLOT COORDINATION

All aircraft with MTOM > 45000 KG and/or equipped with >= 20 seats have to obtain a slot prior to arrival. This also applies to cargo flights with MTOM > 6000 KG. Due to noise abatement new commercial flights are only allowed to be operated by aircraft that comply with category R4 or better of the ACI aircraft noise rating index.

Requests for slots must be filed at Airport Coordination Netherlands (ACNL) in standard IATA format.

During office hours:
Airport Coordination Netherlands (ACNL)

Tel: +31 (0)20 405 9730

Email: [email protected]

URL: https://www.slotcoordination.nl

Aircraft of aerodrome reference code letter D and E require special permission from airport authority regardless of any slot confirmation. Permission has to be requested 24 HR prior to operations via [email protected].
Not applicable for unplanned traffic; the airport may be filed as alternate for code letter D and E aircraft.

2 GROUND MOVEMENT OPERATIONS

Ground movement operations of aircraft with wingspan > 36 M and outer main gear wheel span > 9 M are subject to the following mitigating restrictions:

Follow-me service is mandatory during taxiing.
Adhere strictly to the follow-me instructions.
TWYs V2, V3, V4 and V5 do not meet the required minimum outer main wheel clearance distance (taxiway width) for aircraft with outer main gear wheel span > 9 M (i.e. also not for aircraft with wingspan > 36 M).
Simultaneous use of TWY N and TWY Y is not allowed for aircraft with wingspan > 36 M.
TWY V between TWY V1 and TWY V3 does not meet the required minimum separation distance for aircraft with wingspan > 36 M, strictly adhere to the follow-me instructions to stay clear of obstacles.
Limited parking space available for aircraft with wingspan > 36 M.
Aircraft with wingspan > 36 M cannot be parked using the aircraft stand lead-in lines.

Pilots are to use the minimum power necessary when manoeuvring on the aprons and taxiway system. MAX speed 15 KT on aprons and taxiways, except TWYs V, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6. Specific caution is advised during taxiing on aprons and TWY N and TWY Y. It is of particular importance to:

use minimum breakaway thrust/power setting when taxiing out from aircraft stands A, B, C and D to avoid jet blast hazard at adjacent aircraft stands;
use idle power and do not use breakaway thrust when turning from TWY N and TWY Y towards aircraft stands D, to avoid jet blast hazard at adjacent aprons and service roads. Notify ATC if breakaway thrust is required at this location;
avoid excessive jet blast towards other aircraft when manoeuvring at J-apron.

High visibility clothing is mandatory on airside for aircraft crew and personnel.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL BURDEN REDUCTION DURING TAXI

In order to reduce the environmental burden:

after landing, all arriving aircraft shall switch off as many engines as possible before taxiing to the aircraft stand;
all departing aircraft shall use as few engines as possible whilst taxiing to the runway.

Reduced engine taxiing should only be executed when allowed in accordance with company standard operating procedures (SOP) and when deemed safe by the crew.

4 USE OF APU

The use of auxiliary power units (APU) and ground power units (GPU) is strictly controlled by airport authority at all aircraft stands. Flight crew are urgently requested to limit use of the APU as much as possible to reduce environmental and noise burden.

The APU should be shut down as soon as practicable following actual in block time (AIBT), but not later than 5 MIN after parking brakes set, and not restarted until 5 MIN prior to estimated off block time (EOBT) in order to start the engines.

Exceptions:

When it is necessary to use the APU to ensure safety on board, at flight crew decision. Report to airport authority (OPS) on channel 121.950 as soon as practicable.
When the outside temperature is below 0°C or above +20°C (according to METAR) the APU should not be restarted until actual start boarding time (ASBT).
When it is necessary to use an APU to diagnose and/or rectify aircraft faults (for technical/maintenance reasons). Prior permission required from the Airside Operations office, TEL: +31 (0)10 446 3450.
At all aircraft stands other than the main apron the following applies:
- When no GPU is available at the aircraft stand the APU may be started from 30 MIN prior to EOBT and should be shut down not later than 20 MIN after parking brakes set.
- When a GPU is available, limit use of the APU as much as possible (within the time bracket 30 MIN prior to EOBT and 20 MIN after parking brakes set).

5 GROUND HANDLING

Ground handling is mandatory for all commercial aircraft regardless of any slot confirmation.

For security reasons ground handling is mandatory for all non-homebased general aviation. Visiting Rotterdam The Hague Airport is only permitted with confirmed handling from GA ground handling companies.

For contact information see EHRD AD 2.23.

6 RESTRICTIONS ON TRAINING FLIGHTS

Rotterdam The Hague Airport is PPR for training flights with aircraft with MTOM > 2000 KG. For permission contact [email protected] at least 24 HR in advance. Further restrictions apply:

The execution of training flights is prohibited daily from 2200-0600 (2100-0500).
Training flights prohibited for aircraft with MTOM >= 6000 KG due to environmental reasons (noise capacity).
For aircraft with MTOM < 6000 KG circuit flights in the course of training flights are prohibited during the following periods:
- MON-FRI: before 0700 and after 1700 (before 0600 and after 1600).
- SAT before 0800 and after 1200 (SAT before 0700 and after 1100).
- SAT for aircraft equipped with turbojet engines.
- SUN and HOL during the entire day: H24.
IFR training flights and IFR examination flights must obtain a slot time. Slot times can be obtained from the Flight Service Centre, which is located at Schiphol East. The Flight Service Centre can be reached by telephone H24:
Tel: +31 (0)20 406 2315
Slot times must be obtained at least one day before the flight. It is also possible to obtain a slot time longer in advance. If a flight cannot take place, the slot time must always be cancelled, even if cancellation occurs on the day of the flight. To cancel a slot time, the Flight Service Centre should be contacted.

7 FORMATION TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS

Formation take-offs and landings are not allowed except with a pre-arranged operational agreement with ATC. Contact [email protected] for such an agreement.

EHRD AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

1.1 Introduction

The instrument departure procedures are based on ICAO Annex 2 and on ICAO Documents 4444-ATM/501 (PANS-ATM), 7030 (SUPPS) and 8168-OPS/611 (PANS-OPS).

in the Rotterdam TMAs VFR flights without ATC clearance are permitted. For such flights radio communications is not compulsory.

1.2 Instrument departure procedures

1.2.1 Start-up permission

Pilots shall request permission from ATC before starting engines and when applicable report a cross-bleed start. The request for start-up shall be made to Rotterdam Delivery after all preparations for departure have been made (doors closed etc.) and shall include:

aircraft identification (e.g. KL101).
position (e.g. D3).
ATIS information (e.g. information R).
flight rules (e.g. IFR).
destination (e.g. London).
request start-up.

If unable RNAV, inform ATC prior to start-up.

Permission for start-up will be issued either immediately or at a specified time. Since ATC planning of outbound traffic (involving en-route clearance and co-ordination with adjacent ACCs) is based on the start-up time, the pilot shall be able to comply with start-up and taxi permission. Any delay in start-up or taxiing shall be reported to ATC immediately. In case of indefinite delay the probable duration of delay will be given.

Apart from the ATIS broadcast no MET information will be provided to departing aircraft except RVR (see EHRD AD 2.18).

performing a cross-bleed start at aircraft stand or apron is not permitted. Towing or taxi-out on one engine to an assigned location for cross-bleed start is necessary.

1.2.2 En-route clearance

1.2.2.1 Contents

The en-route clearance will be issued after start-up clearance has been given by Rotterdam Delivery. An en-route clearance contains:

Clearance limit: airport of destination.
Standard instrument departure (SID).
SSR code.
Departure instructions if applicable.
CTOT if applicable.

Example of an en-route clearance: "KLM345 cleared to London, SOMEL 2A Departure, squawk 2123, slot 25".

1.2.2.2 Standard instrument departures

The instrument departure procedures are laid down in standard instrument departures (SIDs). SIDs are designated in accordance with ICAO Annex 11. SID designation is composed of the following elements:

a basic indicator, i.e. a significant point.
a validity indicator, i.e. a number from 1 to 9 indicating the valid version of a specific SID.
a route indicator, i.e. a letter representing the runway where the SID begins.

SIDs are published for RWY 06 and 24.

if not able to comply with the crossing conditions prescribed in the SIDs, inform Rotterdam Delivery.

1.2.2.3 Departure instructions (Contents item d.)

Instructions containing deviations from the standard instrument departure may be added to the en-route or take-off clearance. These instructions may comprise an opposite turn after take-off, maintaining a specified heading or temporary altitude restrictions; this additional instructions amend the relevant part of the SID only.

1.2.2.4 General instructions

Climb as rapidly as practicable to at least 2000 FT AMSL.

1.2.3 Taxi procedures

Aircraft shall request taxi clearance from Rotterdam Tower.

1.2.4 Transfer of control to Schiphol APP

Aircraft proceeding via the Schiphol TMAs will normally be transferred to Schiphol APP during crossing.

1.3 Communication failure

Select transponder code 7600.
If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
Use telephone connection to mitigate COM failure only. All telephone calls will be automatically recorded.
If telephone connection is disconnected prematurely (before read-back), revert to general communication failure procedure (see ENR 1.3).

1.4 SID descriptions

1.4.1 General remarks

1.4.1.1 Procedures and constraints

Transition altitude: 3000 FT AMSL.
SIDs have to be considered as minimum noise routings which shall be strictly adhered to.
Turn radii based on a 25° bank angle.
MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100 unless otherwise instructed.
For continuous routings and crossing conditions on ATS routes as applicable see paragraph 1.4.3.

1.4.1.2 Additional departure instructions

Especially propeller-driven aircraft can expect additional departure instructions. These instructions may be added to the en route or take-off clearance and may comprise a specific heading or temporary altitude restriction. Such additives amend the relevant part of the SID only.

1.4.1.3 Application of RNAV

All SIDs shall be flown according to the RNAV 1 specification. For SIDs with RF legs, RNP 1 is required.
Furthermore:

Engage FMS lateral guidance as early as possible.
The RD-waypoints shall not be used in RTF procedures.
The navigation aid (e.g. VOR) mentioned in the column "Expected path terminator" is for selection of MAG station declination only.

1.4.1.4 Application of radius to fix (RF) turns

For some SIDs, differences in the way the coding for these SIDs is processed by the various FMS systems may result in considerable track dispersion during turns. This track dispersion can be reduced by the application of radius to fix turns, which results in concentration of the flight paths. Thus, in order to enhance noise abatement, for the RWY 06 SOMEL and TULIP SIDs an alternative coding comprising a radius to fix turn is introduced.

To distinguish between the standard coding and the coding comprising the RF turn the letter "Y" has been added after the SID identification. Consequently, two coding tables are listed for the SOMEL 2A and TULIP 4A SIDs:

[SOME2A] or [TULI4A] is the standard designator where only fly-over and fly-by turns are applied;
[SOM2AY] or [TUL4AY] is the designator with the addition "Y" where the RF turn coding is applied.

In the ATC clearance, only the standard (unchanged) designator will be used without changes in the ATC clearance phraseology. This clearance allows for selection of either coding version as the resulting flight paths are considered identical by ATC.

Note that for RWY 24 also alternative SIDs with a "Y" addition to the designator are available, though exclusively for WTC L and M aircraft. In analogy to the relevant SIDs RWY 06, these SIDs RWY 24 are alternative coding variants to enhance noise abatement. However, for RWY 24 the SID coding does not comprise the RF path terminator.

For the use of the RF coding version the following requirements are applicable:

The aircraft must be equipped with an FMS comprising a pre-loaded navigation database and a navigation display.
The aircraft FMS must be capable of processing the RF path terminator.
The aircraft FMS must use GNSS as the primary navigation sensor.
The operator must be approved for RNP 1 operations by their state of registry.

1.4.2 Specific remarks

RWY 06 SOMEL or TULIP SID: in addition to the standard coding [SOME2A] or [TULI4A], an alternative coding [SOM2AY] and [TUL4AY] comprising radius to fix (RF) turns is available. See paragraph 1.4.1.4 for requirements to use the RF coding version. Due to noise abatement aircraft with the appropriate equipment and approval are encouraged to fly the RF procedure.
RWY 24: for relevant SIDs, e.g. COA 2B SID, in addition to the standard coding [COA2B] an alternative coding [COA2BY] is available for exclusive use by WTC L and M aircraft. As resulting flight paths of standard and alternative coding are considered identical by ATC, only the standard (unchanged) designator will be used in the ATC clearance (see also paragraph 1.4.1.4). Due to noise abatement considerations, pilots of WTC L and M aircraft are encouraged to select the alternative coding version.
RNAV 1 required.
Close-in obstacles up to 110 FT shortly after RWY end (see EHRD AD 2.10).

1.4.3 Continuous routings for SIDs with crossing conditions on ATS routes as applicable

aircraft may only continue to climb above 3000 FT AMSL after an ATC clearance has been received.

REF EHRD AD 2.22 paragraph 1.2.2 "En-route clearance": if not able to comply with the crossing conditions prescribed in the SIDs, inform Rotterdam Delivery before take-off.

2 INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURES

2.1 Introduction

The arrival, instrument approach and holding procedures are based on ICAO Annex 2 and on ICAO Documents 4444-ATM/501 (PANS-ATM), 7030 (SUPPS) and 8168-OPS/611 (PANS-OPS). During initial and intermediate approach to Rotterdam Airport radar services may be provided by Schiphol APP.

in the Rotterdam TMAs VFR flights without ATC clearance are permitted. For such flights radio communication is not compulsory.

2.2 Arrival

2.2.1 Arrival clearance

At, or before, entering the Amsterdam Control Area, an arrival clearance will be issued by Amsterdam ACC containing:

Standard arrival route1) or direct route.
Main landing runway2).
Level instructions (normally descent instructions).
Any other necessary instructions or information.

when cleared via a standard arrival route (STAR), the clearance limit is the initial approach fix (lAF).
issued by ATIS (see EHRD AD 2.18) or ATC.

2.2.2 Level restrictions

The following level restrictions shall be applied by aircraft with destination Rotterdam AD. If unable to comply, inform ATC immediately.

Flights via ENKOS or FLEVO should comply with the following crossing condition: cross ENKOS or FLEVO at FL 070.
Flights via COA, DENUT or HELEN should comply with the following crossing condition: cross DOFMU at FL 060 or below, unless otherwise instructed.
Flights via LAMSO, MOLIX, REDFA or TOPPA should comply with the following crossing condition: cross MASOS at FL 060 or below, unless otherwise instructed.

2.2.3 Transfer of control

To Schiphol APP: inbound traffic via ENKOS or FLEVO will be transferred to Schiphol APP.
To Rotterdam APP: transfer to Rotterdam APP will normally take place when entering Rotterdam TMAs.
To Rotterdam TWR: transfer to Rotterdam TWR will normally take place after intercepting final approach.

2.2.4 STAR descriptions

See charts AD 2.EHRD-STAR.

2.2.5 Holdings

Standard holdings are located at the IAFs DOFMU and MASOS. The KAKKO holding may be used at ATC discretion only. The RTM holding is intended only for the VOR approach.

Holding and entry procedures and the calculations of the associated protected areas are in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS-OPS) Volume II, part 4. Since separation is based on the calculated areas, compliance with these in-flight procedures is essential.

2.3 Initial approach

2.3.1 General

Navigation in the initial approach phase is primarily based on vectors provided by ATC. Initial approach procedures are available for occasional use and in case of COM failure.

The published initial and intermediate approaches are RNAV 1 tracks from IAFs MASOS and DOFMU. These are applicable for the following approach types:

ILS or LOC approach:
1. Initial and intermediate approach: RNAV 1 tracks from IAF to FAP/FAF;
2. Final approach: ILS or LOC final approach;
3. Missed approach: RNAV 1 missed approach.
RNP approach:
1. Initial and intermediate approach: RNAV 1 tracks from IAF to FAP/FAF;
2. Final approach: LNAV, LNAV/VNAV or LPV CAT 1 approach;
3. Missed approach: RNP APCH missed approach.

The interception of the ILS-LOC or the RNP approach takes place on the intermediate segment.

For traffic not capable of flying RNAV 1 procedures, a conventional VOR approach is available from VOR/DME RTM. This approach may also be used for training flights, after permission of ATC.

The approach procedures in the Rotterdam TMA are developed with the safeguard of a radar display being available to ATC, showing the position of the aircraft.

2.3.2 Approach instructions

Approach instructions will contain as applicable:

Additional instructions with respect to clearance limit, route and level.
Approach procedure.
Runway in use1).
EAT, if holding procedures are applied.
QNH.
Transition level1).
MET information1).
Runway condition1).

Information included in the ATIS broadcast may be omitted.

2.3.3 ILS Y approach procedure

For the ILS approach RWY 24, two variants are available: ILS Z and ILS Y. On initiative of ATC, the ILS Y RWY 24 approach can be assigned to aircraft inbound Rotterdam Airport. This approach procedure has been introduced in order to reduce noise nuisance, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and to provide flexible and efficient ATC dispatch.

Pilots must pay special attention to the large ILS interception angle of 88 degrees and the reduced length of the intermediate segment of 2.2 NM. The length of the intermediate segment is shorter than the ICAO minimum in case of an ILS interception angle of more than 60 degrees (3.0 NM).

2.3.4 Clearances and constraints

Pilots may be instructed to execute one of the following approach procedures:

RWY 06:
- ILS or LOC approach RWY 06, which starts at IAF DOFMU or IAF MASOS;
- RNP approach RWY 06, which starts at IAF DOFMU or IAF MASOS;
- VOR approach RWY 06, which starts at IAF RTM.
RWY 24:
- ILS Z or LOC Z approach RWY 24, which starts at IAF DOFMU or IAF MASOS;
- ILS Y or LOC Y approach RWY 24, which starts at IAF DOFMU only;
- RNP approach RWY 24, which starts at IAF DOFMU or IAF MASOS;
- VOR approach RWY 24, which starts at IAF RTM.

ATC may provide instructions to pick up an approach procedure at a point beyond the IAF. The clearance for the approach procedure includes initial, intermediate, and final approach. Once the crew reports to be established on the final approach segment, the transfer to Rotterdam TWR will take place. Landing clearance will be issued by the TWR controller.

Further details are published on the relevant instrument approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x.

2.3.5 Aircraft and operator requirements

For the use of the RNAV instrument approach procedures between IAF and FAF/FAP, the following requirements are applicable:

The aircraft must be equipped with an FMS comprising a pre-loaded navigation database and a navigation display.
The aircraft FMS must use GNSS as the primary navigation sensor in case of RNP approaches.
The operator must be approved for RNAV 1 operations by their state of registry.

2.3.6 Non-RNAV 1 equipped aircraft

Pilots of aircraft that are not able to fly RNAV 1 procedures, i.e. not meeting the requirements in paragraph 2.3.5, shall inform ATC by use of the phrase "UNABLE RNAV" if instructed to fly the RNAV based initial approach procedure preceding the IF. Aircraft will then be guided towards the final approach of the ILS/LOC or VOR approach or directed to RTM in order to fly the published VOR procedure.

2.4 Intermediate and final approach

Advised speed in the intermediate approach is 180 KIAS up to 6 NM and in the final approach 160 KIAS up to 4 NM from threshold.

2.4.1 Final approach procedures

an aircraft vectored to intercept final approach shall report to ATC when established on the final approach track (ICAO Doc 4444-ATM/501 (PANS-ATM) chapter 8.9.4.1).

2.4.1.1 Final approach procedure

The following (final) approaches are published for Rotterdam Airport:

RWY 06:
- ILS or LOC approach RWY 06;
- RNP approach RWY 06 with LNAV, LNAV-VNAV and LPV CAT 1 minima;
- VOR approach RWY 06.
RWY 24:
- ILS Z or LOC Z approach RWY 24;
- ILS Y or LOC Y approach RWY 24;
- RNP approach RWY 24 with LNAV, LNAV-VNAV and LPV CAT 1 minima;
- VOR approach RWY 24.

For the RNP APCH the following requirements are applicable:

The aircraft must be equipped with an FMS comprising a pre-loaded navigation database and a navigation display.
The aircraft FMS must use GNSS as the primary navigation sensor.
The operator holds an RNP APCH operations approval issued by their State of registry. The approval should be compliant with EASA CS-ACNS or equivalent.

When the aircraft is unable to fly the RNP APCH and no other instrument approach is available on the assigned runway direction, the pilot shall inform ATC by use of the phrase "UNABLE RNP APPROACH" and expect an alternative approach. An alternative approach may be an ILS approach to the opposite runway followed by a circling or a visual approach, or diversion to an airport with a suitable approach.

When radar control is exercised the aircraft will be directed to a position, from which a final instrument approach or a visual approach can be made.

2.4.1.2 Visual approach

To minimise noise nuisance, aircraft executing a visual approach shall intercept the final approach leg at an altitude of at least 1000 FT AMSL, unless residential areas can be avoided.

2.4.1.3 Circling approach

For each runway at Rotterdam Airport a circling approach may be allowed or offered. For OCA (OCH) see relevant instrument approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x.

2.4.2 Missed approach procedure

2.4.2.1 Missed approach procedure during instrument approach

See relevant instrument approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x.

2.4.2.2 Missed approach procedure during visual approach

Turn to the intended landing runway, intercept the runway track MAG of that runway while:

When visual:
- remain visual and inform ATC, or
When unable to remain visual:
- execute the missed approach procedure as depicted on the relevant approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x and inform ATC.

2.4.2.3 Missed approach while circling to land

This procedure is different from ICAO Doc 8168 Volume I (PANS-OPS).

Inform ATC immediately.
Start climbing and complete the turn to the intended landing runway (see figure).
Execute the missed approach procedure as depicted on the relevant approach chart of the intended landing runway (AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x).

the indicated situation is applicable for an initial instrument approach to RWY 06. Circling approaches southeast of RWY 06/24 and extended centre line are prohibited.

2.5 Communication failure

2.5.1 General

Select transponder code 7600.
If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
Use telephone connection to mitigate COM failure only. All telephone calls will be automatically recorded.
If telephone connection is disconnected prematurely (before read-back), revert to general communication failure procedure.

For the general procedures for IFR flights see ENR 1.3 paragraph "Communication Failure". In addition, for arriving flights, the following communication failure procedures apply.

2.5.2 Arrival clearance not received

Proceed according to the current flight plan route and STAR, to the appropriate holding fix: MASOS or DOFMU, if capable of RNAV 1. Non-RNAV 1 traffic proceed to RTM.
Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
Flights via INKET or PAM with last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude below FL 050 shall avoid the segment KAKKO – DOFMU and proceed direct to DOFMU.
After arrival over the holding fix intercept the holding pattern.
For MASOS commence descent to FL 050 at or as near as possible to the ETO over the holding fix.
For DOFMU, KAKKO or RTM commence descent to 3000 FT AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over the holding fix.
After reaching FL 050 or 3000 FT AMSL leave the holding fix and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the runway in use (see 2.5.4). Flights via RTM can only use the VOR approach.

2.5.3 Arrival clearance received on or outside standard arrival route and prior to the IAF

Proceed direct to the appropriate holding fix:
1. MASOS or DOFMU, if capable RNAV 1;
2. RTM, only if not capable RNAV 1 or if previously instructed by ATC;
3. KAKKO, only if previously instructed by ATC.
Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
After arrival over the holding fix intercept the holding pattern.
For MASOS commence descent to FL 050 at or as near as possible to the ETO over the holding fix.
For DOFMU, KAKKO or RTM commence descent to 3000 FT AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over the holding fix.
After reaching FL 050 or 3000 FT AMSL leave the holding fix and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the received and acknowledged runway (see 2.5.4). Flights via RTM can only use the VOR approach.

2.5.4 Instrument approach procedure

After leaving the IAF carry out an instrument approach procedure to the received and acknowledged runway or the runway-in-use as is included in the ATIS broadcast (see AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x).
Do not use the ILS Y approach RWY 24 unless instructed by ATC.
Do not use the VOR approach unless instructed by ATC or when unable RNAV 1.
In case the COM failure occurs after a direct was received to a WPT beyond the IAF, pick up the expected approach procedure from there.
For approach RWY 24 pass KAKKO at 3000 FT AMSL.

2.5.5 Missed approach procedure in case of communication failure

2.5.5.1 Missed approach procedure during instrument approach

The missed approach in case of communication failure is equal to the standard missed approach procedure as described on the relevant instrument approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x.

2.5.5.2 Missed approach procedure during visual approach

Turn to the intended landing runway, intercept the runway track MAG of that runway while:

When visual:
- remain visual and execute a circuit for that runway or
When unable to remain visual:
- climb to 2000 FT AMSL,
- execute the missed approach procedure as depicted on the relevant approach chart AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x.

2.5.5.3 Missed approach while circling to land

This procedure is different from ICAO Doc 8168 Volume I (PANS-OPS).

Start climbing and complete the turn to the intended landing runway (see figure).
Execute the missed approach procedure as depicted on the relevant approach chart of the intended landing runway (AD 2.EHRD-IAC-xx.x).

the indicated situation is applicable for an initial instrument approach to RWY 06. Circling approaches southeast of RWY 06/24 and extended centre line are prohibited.

3 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

During periods of low visibility the overall ATC capacity is reduced. To guarantee aircraft safety and optimal use of ATC capacity, Rotterdam Airport uses ATC low visibility procedures. When the visibility falls below 1500 M and the ceiling becomes equal to or below 300 FT, cautionary measures are taken. Four low visibility phases are recognised:

Phase	Conditions	Procedure

4.4 VFR traffic circuits

4.4.1 General

RWY 06: a lefthand circuit at 1000 FT AMSL.
RWY 24: a righthand circuit at 1000 FT AMSL, maintain 1000 FT AMSL until turning base leg.

for traffic reasons pilots may be instructed to extend the downwind leg.

4.4.2 VFR training circuits

To avoid noise in the villages north of RWY 24, a VFR training circuit has been established at 500 FT AMSL within a designated area. For these flights the threshold RWY 24 has been displaced 800 metres beyond the normal threshold RWY 24 indicated by white marking and red/white markers on the right side of the runway.

4.4.2.1 RWY 06

Always stay inside the designated circuit area.
Lefthand circuit, altitude 500 FT AMSL.
After passing the red/white markers along the runway turn to crosswind leg.
Downwind leg is marked by the orange coloured VHF COM station.
Turn base leg after passing the Delftsche Schie.
Touchdown at threshold RWY 06.

4.4.2.2 RWY 24

Always stay inside the designated circuit area.
Righthand circuit, altitude 500 FT AMSL.
Turn crosswind leg after passing the Delftsche Schie.
Downwind leg is marked by the orange coloured VHF COM station.
Turn base leg abeam the normal threshold RWY 24.
Touchdown at displaced threshold.

for traffic reasons pilots may be instructed to hold in area ALPHA or BRAVO within the designated circuit area. Both areas are separated by the area between highway A13 and the Delftsche Schie.

4.5 Communication failure procedures

4.5.1 General

Select transponder code 7600.
If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
Use telephone connection to mitigate COM failure only. All telephone calls will be automatically recorded.
If telephone connection is disconnected prematurely (before read-back), revert to communication failure procedures below.

4.5.2 VFR outbound

In case of communication failure adhere to the departure instructions. If the departure instructions contain a clearance limit in the CTR, act in accordance with paragraph 4.5.4.

4.5.3 VFR inbound

4.5.3.1 Via ROMEO and MIKE Arrival

In case of communication failure before joining the circuit leave the CTR according to the ROMEO or MIKE Departure and divert to an appropriate aerodrome.
In case of communication failure over or after a position from where to join the circuit (this is past the reporting point PAPA) execute a circuit for the last received and acknowledged runway as short as practicable. Make a full stop landing and vacate as soon as possible. In case of go-around execute a similar circuit (be aware of the fact that your flight path could interfere with the flight path of other aerodrome traffic).

4.5.3.2 Via HOTEL Arrival

In case of communication failure before joining the circuit leave the CTR according to the HOTEL Departure and divert to an appropriate aerodrome.
In case of communication failure over or after a position from where to join the circuit (this is past compulsory reporting point TANGO) act in accordance with paragraph 4.5.3.1 item b.

4.5.3.3 Via a different route to the field

In case of communication failure before joining the circuit act in accordance with paragraph 4.5.4.
In case of communication failure over or after a position from where to join the circuit act in accordance with paragraph 4.5.3.1 item b.

4.5.4 VFR crossing the CTR

In case of communication failure leave the CTR via the shortest route, maintain altitude until outside the CTR, do not cross runway centre line or IFR areas and proceed to an appropriate aerodrome.

EHRD AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1 CAUTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Pilots are urgently advised to maintain two-way radio communication within the Rotterdam TMAs. When operating in Rotterdam TMA 1 and 2 or in the vicinity of Schiphol TMA 1 and below Rotterdam TMA 1 and 2, the use of a frequency monitoring code as outlined in ENR 1.2 paragraphs 7.3.1 and 7.4 is strongly recommended.
For details of the low flying areas and routes see ENR 5.2.
VFR flights shall not be operated in the Schiphol TMAs, unless authorised by the appropriate ATS authority (see ENR 1.2 paragraph 3.2).
Pilots are urgently requested not to execute VFR flights in the vicinity of the published instrument arrival and departure routes within the Rotterdam TMA, see EHRD AD 2.24.
Caution during approach to RWY 06 with south-eastern (light, moderate or strong) wind, pilots should be aware and must be prepared for the possibility of building-induced turbulence, wind shear and wind gradient effects over the THR and TDZ of RWY 06. During these circumstances, while landing at RWY 06, pilots should be aware of suddenly increased turbulence.
Pilots shall be aware that in the vicinity of the aerodrome ATC gives priority to:
- aircraft in state of an emergency;
- hospital and police aircraft with the status priority or scramble;
- aircraft engaged in SAR operations.
Bird-scare activities 24 hours a day available/active with the use of various equipment/means including flare shellcrackers, bird dispersal guns and amplified cries of distress.
When lightning discharges are observed in the vicinity of the airport, the Duty Manager Operations (DMO) will announce that all ground handling and re-fuelling operations are prohibited until further notice. When it is safe to do so, the DMO will declare that ground handling and re-fuelling operations can be resumed. Handling stop will be indicated by special light/sound signals or by ATC.

2 DETERMINATION OF DATUM LINE FOR INTERSECTION TAKE-OFF

The datum line from which the reduced runway declared distances for take-off should be determined is defined by the intersection of the downwind edge of the specific taxiway with the runway edge as shown in the diagram below. The loss of runway length due to alignment of the aircraft prior to take-off should be taken into account by the operators for the calculation of the aircraft's take-off mass (ICAO Annex 6, Part 1, paragraph 5.2.8).
If an intersection take-off will take place from a taxiway with an intersection angle of 55°, and the taxiway centre line is followed until the runway centre line, there is a loss of line-up distance of APRX 100 M.


TWY V2	TWY V4	TWY V5

3 MEDICAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Pilots shall declare a medical emergency to ATC only in case of a patient on board suffering from a life-threatening condition. A patient's medical condition is categorised and should be handled as follows:

Medical emergency (life-threatening): pilots shall contact ATC to declare a medical emergency by radio call prefixed by PAN PAN (3X) for urgency. Priority handling will be provided. Medical crew will board the aircraft before passengers disembark.
Medical care at the stand (non-life-threatening): flight crew shall contact ground handler only to arrange medical crew at the stand.
