Usage of TWY B north of W1 limited: PPR by airport authority for all non-based jet aircraft, turboprop aircraft and helicopters.

9 USE OF ENGINE RUN-UP AREA

A public engine test and compass swing platform is available alongside TWY A, opposite the entry to the J-apron. The platform is intended for fixed wing non-turbine propellor aircraft with a MAX outer main gear wheel span of 4.5 M and a MAX wingspan of 15 M. Usage of this run-up area is possible MON-FRI 0600-1800 (MON-FRI 0500-1700) and requires PPR by the airport authority.

10 RFFS SERVICE ROAD

The area on TWY A, where the RFFS service road from J-apron to the runway intersects, should remain clear of aircraft as much as practicable.

11 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.

EHGG 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).

Note:  in the Eelde TMA VFR flights without ATC clearance are permitted. For instrument training procedures see EHGG AD 2.22 paragraph 4.

Note:  to avoid noise disturbances pilots shall adhere to the IFR departure procedures as depicted.

1.2 Instrument departure procedures

1.2.1 Start-up permission

Pilots of aircraft must have obtained permission for start-up from ATC before starting their engines and when applicable report a cross-bleed start. A request for start-up shall be made to Eelde Delivery after all preparations for departure have been made (doors closed etc.) and shall include:
  • aircraft identification (e.g. PH-SPY).
  • position (e.g. in front of terminal).
  • ATIS information (e.g. information S).
  • flight rules (e.g. IFR).
  • destination (e.g. Amsterdam).
  • request start-up.

Due to the short flying time to the FIR boundary, pilots of aircraft departing direction Germany/Denmark may request start-up permission before all preparations have been made, indicating the time at which they will be ready to start engines: "......destination.....ready to start engines at......".
 
Permission for start-up will either be issued immediately or at a specified time. The pilot shall be able to comply with start-up and taxi permission, since ATC planning of outbound traffic (involving en-route clearance and co-ordination with adjacent ACCs) is based on the start-up time. Any delay in start-up or taxiing shall be reported to ATC immediately.
 
In case of indefinite delay the probable duration of the delay will be given.
 
During the hours of the ATIS broadcast, no MET information will be issued to departing aircraft except RVR (see EHGG AD 2.18).

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 Eelde Delivery. An en-route clearance contains:
  1. Clearance limit: airport of destination.
  2. Standard instrument departure (SID).
  3. Level instructions if applicable.
  4. SSR code.
  5. Departure instructions if applicable.
  6. CTOT if applicable.

Example of an en-route clearance: "PHCTG cleared to Paris, PAM 4C departure, FL 070, squawk 2136, 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 RWYs 05 and 23.
1.2.2.3 Departure instructions (paragraph 1.2.2.1 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; they amend the relevant part of the SID only.
1.2.2.4 General instructions
  1. Climb as rapidly as practicable to at least 2000 FT AMSL.
  2. VOR radial interception angle: in principle 45°. If the indicated angle exceeds 45° initiate turn in due time in order not to overshoot the radial.

1.2.3 Taxi procedures

Aircraft shall request taxi clearance on the Tower frequency (see EHGG AD 2.18).

1.3 Communication failure

For the general procedures for IFR flights, see ENR 1.3 paragraph "Communication Failure".
Additionally, for departing flights, the following communication failure procedure applies:
-    If a clearance to climb or re-routing instructions has not been given, comply with the route and altitude limitations detailed in the allocated standard instrument departure procedure or the departure instructions provided at take-off until the last waypoint has been reached.

1.4 SID descriptions

1.4.1 General remarks

  • Transition altitude: 3000 FT AMSL.
  • SIDs are based on an average climb rate of 2000 FT/min.
  • SIDs have to be considered as minimum noise routings.
  • Turn radii based on a 25° bank angle.
  • Radial interception angle: 45°.
  • MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100 unless otherwise instructed.
  • 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.
  • RNAV:  The Netherlands encourages the use of RNAV routes stored in a pre-programmed navigation database on board of aircraft. Although there may be differences between the RNAV and conventional description of a route (vertically: turn altitudes and/or laterally: turn anticipation effects), the resulting flight paths are considered identical by ATC. Therefore, flying the route using the RNAV coding from the navigation database will not result in route violations.
    Furthermore:
    • Connect FMS as early as possible.
    • Turn anticipation is mandatory for all waypoints except those which are underlined, these waypoints shall be overflown.
    • The navigation aid (e.g. VOR) mentioned in the column "Expected path terminator" is for selection of MAG station declination only.

1.4.2 Specific remarks

  1. ENKOS departure only available for DEST EHRD.
  2. NOVEN departure only available for DEST EHAM and intending to operate above FL 070.
  3. ROLDU departure only available for DEST EHLE.
  4. RUMER departure only available for flights operating MAX FL 095 to DEST EHEH, EHBD and EHBK.
  5. TEBRO departure only available for DEST EDDL, EDLN and EDLV.
  6. RNAV 1 required.
  7. Initial turn: climb to 500 FT AMSL before turning, due to obstacles.

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

Note:  REF EHGG AD 2.22 paragraph 1.2.2 "En-route clearance"-: if not able to comply with the crossing conditions prescribed in the SIDs, inform Eelde Delivery before departure.

Note: a ircraft may only continue to climb above FL 060 or FL 070 after an ATC clearance has been received.

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 Eelde Airport radar services may be provided by Eelde APP.

Note:  in the Eelde TMA VFR flights without ATC clearance are permitted. For instrument training procedures see EHGG AD 2.22 paragraph 4.

Note:  to avoid noise disturbances pilots shall adhere to the IFR approach procedures as depicted.

2.2 Arrival

2.2.1 Arrival clearance

At, or before, entering the Eelde TMA, an arrival clearance will be issued by Amsterdam ACC containing:
  1. Standard arrival route 1) or direct route.
  2. Main landing runway 2).
  3. Level instructions (normally descent instructions).
  4. Any other necessary instructions or information.
1)when cleared via a standard arrival route (STAR), the clearance limit is the initial approach fix (lAF).
2)issued by ATIS (see EHGG AD 2.18) or ATC.

2.2.2 Transfer from ACC to APP

Transfer to Eelde APP will normally take place when the flight is entering the Eelde TMA.

2.3.1 General procedures

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

2.3.2 Approach instructions

Approach instructions will contain as applicable:
  1. Additional instructions with respect to clearance limit, route and level.
  2. Approach procedure.
  3. Runway in use 1).
  4. EAT, if holding procedures are applied.

  7. MET information 1).
  8. Runway condition 1).

1)during the hours of ATIS broadcast (see EHGG AD 2.18), item may be omitted as far as it is included in the ATIS broadcast.

2.3.3 RNAV to ILS approach procedure

An RNAV to ILS approach procedure can be initiated by ATC in order to reduce noise nuisance, fuel consumption, and to provide flexible and efficient ATC dispatch.
2.3.3.1 General
The RNAV to ILS approach procedure in the Eelde TMA is developed in accordance with ICAO PANS-OPS criteria with the following safeguards:
  • The RNAV section of the inbound route is situated above MSA/MFA/MVA.
  • The RNAV part is complete on entering the intermediate segment in which ILS-LOC interception takes place.
  • If radar service is available the operations will be radar monitored by ATC.
2.3.3.2 Clearances and constraints
On initiative of ATC, pilots may be instructed to fly an RNAV approach procedure preceding the ILS instrument approach to RWY 23.
  • This RNAV to ILS approach procedure starts at waypoint TOLKO.
  • After receiving a clearance for the RNAV to ILS approach procedure the pilot is free to optimise the descent and speed within the constraints as laid down in the procedure description, with the objective to establish a low noise continuous descent approach.
  • The clearance for the RNAV to ILS approach procedure includes clearance to execute the subsequent ILS instrument approach procedure.

Further details are published in paragraph 2.6.2 and on the chart IAC TOLKO 2G approach ILS RWY 23.
2.3.3.3 Aircraft requirements
For the use of the RNAV to ILS approach procedure 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 must be approved for RNAV 1 operations by their state of registry.
2.3.3.4 Non-RNAV equipped aircraft
Pilots of aircraft that are not equipped or approved for TMA RNAV procedures, i.e. not meeting the requirements in paragraph 2.3.3.3, shall inform ATC by use of the phrase "UNABLE (designator) APPROACH DUE RNAV TYPE" if instructed to fly an RNAV approach procedure. These aircraft will be guided by vectors or will be rerouted via conventional navigation aids.

2.4 Intermediate and final approach

2.4.1 Final approach procedures

Note:  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 General
In principle the final approach will be conducted on main landing RWY 23. An alternate runway can be offered in case of excessive crosswind or unserviceability of the ILS.
2.4.1.2 Instrument approaches
ILS approaches can be made to RWY 23 only. RNP approaches to LPV and LNAV minima are available for both RWY 05 and RWY 23. Instrument approaches to RWY 05 and RWY 23 can also be made with the assistance of VOR.
 
For the use of an RNP approach it is required that 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.
2.4.1.3 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.
2.4.1.4 Circling approach
For each runway at Eelde Airport a circling approach may be allowed or offered. For OCA (OCH) see relevant instrument approach chart.

2.4.2 Missed approach procedure

2.4.2.1 General
All turns shall be the shortest turn and in case of a 180° turn that turn shall be to the left, unless otherwise specified below or instructed by ATC.
2.4.2.2 Missed approach procedure during instrument approach
See relevant instrument approach chart.
2.4.2.3 Missed approach procedure during visual approach
Turn to the intended landing runway, intercept the runway track MAG of that runway while:
  1. When visual:
    • remain visual and inform ATC, or
  2. When unable to remain visual:
    • climb to 2000 FT AMSL and inform ATC.
2.4.2.4 Missed approach while circling to land
Note: t his 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).
  • Intercept the MAG track of that runway while climbing to 2000 FT AMSL.
  Note: the indicated situation is applicable for an initial instrument approach to RWY 05. Circling approaches shall be executed south-east of the AD, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
 

2.5 Communication failure

2.5.1 General

The pilot of an IFR flight shall follow the general procedures for IFR flights (see ENR 1.3 paragraph "Communication Failure"). Additionally, for arriving flights, the following communication failure procedures apply.

2.5.2 Inbound clearance not received

  • Proceed according the current flight plan route to the holding fix HECTI. Non-RNAV traffic proceed to HECTI via DCT EEL and EEL 051.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level.
  • After arrival over HECTI, intercept the holding pattern.
  • Commence descent to 2000 FT AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over HECTI.
  • After reaching 2000 FT AMSL leave HECTI and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the most convenient runway (see relevant instrument approach chart).

2.5.3 Inbound clearance received

2.5.3.1 Traffic via standard arrival route, outside standard arrival route or vectored to final approach
  • Proceed according the current flight plan route to the holding fix HECTI or OMFAR, if specified in the inbound clearance. Non-RNAV traffic proceed to HECTI via DCT EEL and EEL 051 and OMFAR via DCT EEL and EEL 229.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level.
  • After arrival over the fix, intercept the holding pattern.
  • Commence descent to 2000 FT AMSL at the EAT last received and acknowledged.
  • When no EAT has been received and acknowledged, commence descent to 2000 FT AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over holding fix.
  • After reaching 2000 FT AMSL leave the holding fix and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the appropriate runway (see relevant instrument approach chart).
2.5.3.2 Traffic inbound TOLKO or on RNAV to ILS approach
  • Traffic inbound TOLKO or with clearance for the RNAV approach via TOLKO, shall proceed to TOLKO and execute the RNAV to ILS approach procedure.
2.5.3.3 Traffic inbound AMREG, IDAKA, SIPLO, TUVOX, VEXAR, XOMBI or on RNP approach
Traffic inbound an IAF or IF, or with clearance for the RNP approach to RWY 05 or RWY 23, shall proceed to this IAF or IF and execute the RNP approach procedure in accordance with the applicable instrument approach chart (see chart IAC RNP RWY 05 or IAC RNP RWY 23).

2.5.4 Missed approach procedure in case of communication failure

2.5.4.1 General
All turns shall be the shortest turn and in case of a 180° turn that turn shall be to the left, unless otherwise specified below or instructed by ATC.
2.5.4.2 Missed approach procedure during instrument approach
See relevant instrument approach chart.
2.5.4.3 Missed approach procedure during visual approach
Turn to the intended landing runway, intercept the runway track MAG of that runway while:
  1. When visual:
    • remain visual and execute another circuit for that runway, or
  2. When unable to remain visual:
    • climb to 3000 FT AMSL;
    • in case a visual approach was made to RWY 05: when reaching 2000 FT AMSL turn left to intercept EEL 229 and proceed to OMFAR, or
    • in case a visual approach was made to RWY 23: when reaching 2000 FT AMSL turn right to EEL. After passing EEL proceed to HECTI via EEL 051, and
    • after arriving over the fix for the approach runway (OMFAR for RWY 05, HECTI for RWY 23) hold or descend to 2000 FT AMSL in an outbound turn, intercept final approach and execute the instrument approach procedure as depicted on the relevant approach chart.
2.5.4.4 Missed approach while circling to land
Note: t his procedure is different from ICAO Doc 8168 Volume I (PANS-OPS).
  • Start climbing and complete the turn to the intended landing runway (see figure).
  • Intercept the MAG track of that runway while climbing to 3000 FT AMSL.
  • In case a circling was made to RWY 05: when reaching 3000 FT AMSL turn left to intercept EEL 229 and proceed to OMFAR, hold or descend to 2000 FT AMSL in an outbound turn, intercept final approach and execute the instrument approach procedure again.
  • In case a circling was made to RWY 23: when reaching 3000 FT AMSL turn right to EEL. After passing EEL proceed to HECTI via EEL 051, hold or descend to 2000 FT AMSL in an outbound turn, intercept final approach and execute the instrument approach procedure again.
Note: the indicated situation is applicable for an initial instrument approach to RWY 05. Circling approaches shall be executed south-east of the AD, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

2.6 Instrument approach descriptions

2.6.1 General remarks

  • Between the IAF and interception of final approach navigation is based on vectors provided by ATC, except in case of an RNAV procedure.
  • The ILS RWY 23 is not equipped with markers.

2.6.2 RNAV procedures

Note:  see also EHGG AD 2.22 paragraph 2.3.3.

Navigation in the initial and intermediate approach segment is primarily based on vectors provided by ATC. However, an RNAV approach procedure to RWY 23 is available. The use of the RNAV approach procedure is at ATC discretion. The procedure is only assigned in case the ILS is available. The vertical profile of the RNAV approach procedures is designed to enable a low noise continuous descent approach.


The ATC instruction "Cleared for TOLKO 2G approach RWY 23" is clearance to fly the published route and includes the clearance for the ILS instrument approach procedure to RWY 23. In this case the pilot is free to optimise the descent and speed within the constraints as laid down in the procedure description, with the objective to establish a low noise continuous descent approach.

2.6.3 Instrument approach segments

Note:  recommended navaid for selection of MAG station declination only.

Note:  for positions of GG-waypoints see relevant instrument approach charts.

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, Groningen Airport Eelde uses ATC low visibility procedures. These procedures are based on ICAO DOC 9476/1 (Surface Movement Guidance and Control Manual) and ECAC DOC 17 (Ground operations in limited visibility conditions).
      
The ATC low visibility procedures are categorised in four phases (A , B, C, and D), that are based on visibility or RVR values and ceiling.
The ATC low visibility procedures become effective when the general visibility is equal to or below 2000 M, or the lowest RVR is equal to or below 1500 M.
Phase Conditions Procedure
A 550 M <= VIS <= 2000 M or
lowest RVR <= 1500 M
No conditional clearances. No intersection departures. When RVR drops below 800 M no take-off clearance will be given.
B Lowest RVR < 550 M and/or
ceiling < 200 FT
ATC may give permission to taxi if no other aircraft is moving or expected to be moving in the manoeuvring area, unless both aircraft are continuously visible to TWR at all times.
C Lowest RVR < 350 M No landings allowed.
D Lowest RVR < 200 M Taxiing only allowed under guidance of a follow-me car.

4 TRAINING PROCEDURES

4.1 General

To accommodate the conduct and to increase the amount of training flights to be handled by ATC, a training area has been established within the lateral limits of the Eelde TMA. The upper limit of the Eelde TMA can temporarily be changed to FL 085 to enlarge the training area. Assignment of the area depends on circumstances as nature of training, aircraft performance, traffic load, pilots request etc.

Note:  training and test flights including go-arounds PPR from airport manager.
Note:  IFR-training flights outside operational hours Eelde Approach: PPR from ATC, TEL: +31 (0)50 309 9229.
Note:  to avoid noise disturbances pilots shall adhere to the IFR and VFR approach and departure procedures and traffic circuits as depicted.

4.2 Communication failure

4.2.1 General

The pilot of an IFR flight shall follow the general procedures for IFR flights (see ENR 1.3 paragraph "Communication Failure").
The instrument approach procedures from HECTI or OMFAR may be followed by a visual or circling approach to the main landing runway or if not acceptable to the most convenient runway.

4.2.2 In the Eelde TMA

In addition to the general procedures, the pilot shall:
  • proceed to the fix of the main landing runway (HECTI for RWY 23, OMFAR for RWY 05).
  • maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
  • after arrival over the fix, intercept the holding pattern.
  • commence descent to 2000 FT AMSL at the EAT last received and acknowledged.
  • after reaching 2000 FT AMSL leave the holding fix and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the appropriate runway (see relevant instrument approach chart).

4.2.3 Traffic vectored to final approach

In addition to the general procedures, the pilot shall:
  • maintain the last cleared and acknowledged level or altitude.
  • proceed to the fix of the assigned landing runway (HECTI for RWY 23 and OMFAR for RWY 05).
  • after arrival over the fix, descend to 2000 FT AMSL, if applicable.
  • after reaching 2000 FT, leave the fix and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the appropriate runway (see relevant instrument approach chart).
