EHKD AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

1.1 Start-up and taxi

1.1.1 Start-up

Prior to engine start, pilots must request a start-up clearance to De Kooy Ground; a request for start-up shall include:

- callsign;
- position;
- type of aircraft;
- POB;
- ETD (in case of IFR clearance required).

The start-up clearance will include the runway in use and QNH.

1.1.2 En-route clearance

When required, ATC will issue an en-route clearance as soon as possible after taxi permission has been given.
An en-route clearance contains:

a. Clearance limit: airport of destination.
b. Departure instructions.
c. SSR code.

Example of an en-route clearance: "RNN345 is cleared to London, SPL 3000 FT, squawk 2123".

1.1.3 Taxi

Prior to ground/air-taxi, pilots shall request taxi permission from De Kooy Tower.

1.2 General remarks

1.2.1 North Sea operations and helicopter main routes (HMR)

North Sea operations and HMR are described in ENR 2.2, ENR 3.4 and on En-route chart - ICAO (ENR 6).

1.3 Maximum speed

MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100 unless otherwise instructed.

1.4 Transfer of control

Transfer of control will be effected on the basis of current traffic situation and co-ordination between the units involved.
 
Traffic via the Schiphol TMAs will be transferred to Schiphol Departure.

1.5 Communication failure

-    If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
       Note: 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 paragraph "Communication Failure").

Additionally, for departing flights, the following communication failure procedure applies:
-    If a clearance to climb or re-routing instructions have 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.

Note: if a communication failure occurs during taxiing, aircraft shall wait until communication is re-established, light signals are issued from the tower or a follow-me car arrives.

1.6 SID descriptions

1.6.1 General remarks

  • Transition altitude: 3000 FT AMSL.
  • Turn radii based on a 18° bank angle and 125 KIAS.
  • Procedures are designated for helicopters 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.

1.6.2 Specific remarks

  1. Only for off-shore helicopters.
  2. Only AVBL when northern part of EHR8 (North of 52°58'N) is not active.
  3. Only AVBL when middle part of EHR8 (between 52°51'N and 52°58'N) is not active.
  4. Only AVBL when southern part of EHR8 (South of 52°51'N) is not active.
  5. RNAV 1 required.

2 INITIAL APPROACH PROCEDURES

2.1 Inbound clearance

A clearance will be issued by Amsterdam ACC or MILATCC Schiphol, containing:
  1. Clearance limit: HDR.
  2. Route.
  3. Flight level.

2.2 Maximum speed

MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100.

2.3 Transfer of control

Inbound traffic will be transferred by Amsterdam ACC or MILATCC Schiphol to De Kooy Arrival (traffic via Schiphol will be transferred to Schiphol Approach).

2.4 Approach instructions

Approach instructions will contain as applicable:
  1. Additional instructions with respect to route and level.
  2. Approach procedure.
  3. Runway in use.
  4. QNH.
  5. Transition level 1).
  6. MET information 1).
  7. Aerodrome information and other information 1).

1) During ATIS OPR HR (see EHKD AD 2.18) this item may be omitted when included in the ATIS broadcast.
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).

2.5 Radar service

During the initial approach radar service may be provided by Amsterdam ACC, MILATCC Schiphol, Schiphol APP or De Kooy Arrival.

2.6 Visual approach

The minimum initial approach altitude is 2000 FT AMSL. An IFR flight may be cleared to execute a visual approach provided that the pilot can maintain visual reference to the terrain and:

- the reported ceiling is at or above the approved initial approach level for the aircraft cleared; or
- the pilot reports at the initial approach level, or at any time during the instrument approach procedure, that the meteorological conditions are as such that with reasonable assurance a visual approach can be completed.

2.7 Diversion to AMSTERDAM/Schiphol (EHAM)

In case landing at EHKD with a helicopter is not possible and EHAM is filed as alternate aerodrome, there is a diversion route to EHAM RWY 22 (see EHAM chart IAC ILS or LOC RWY 22 CAT H).
De Kooy Approach will transfer this traffic to Schiphol Approach before NIDOP (TMA boundary).
When EHAM RWY 22 is not available, execute a circling procedure to EHAM RWY 27 unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
ROUTE: NIDOP transition
RNAV: HDR / NIDOP / AM409 / AM410 / AM661 (FAF RWY 22).

2.8 Communication failure

2.8.1 General

-    If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
       Note: 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". Additionally, for arriving flights, the following communication failure procedures apply.
 

2.8.2 Inbound clearance not received

  • RNP APCH equipped proceed according to the current flight plan route to HDR.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
  • After arrival over HDR, intercept the holding pattern.
  • Commence descent to 2000 FT AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over HDR.
  • After reaching 2000 FT AMSL leave HDR and carry out an RNP instrument approach procedure to the appropriate runway (see charts IAC RNP Z RWY 03 and IAC RNP Z RWY 21).

2.8.3 Inbound clearance received

  • RNP APCH equipped proceed according to the current flight plan route to the HDR.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
  • After arrival over the clearance limit, intercept the associated 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 the clearance limit.
  • After reaching 2000 FT AMSL leave the holding and carry out an RNP instrument approach procedure to the assigned runway (see charts IAC RNP Z RWY 03 and IAC RNP Z RWY 21).

3 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

During periods of low visibility the overall ATC capacity could be reduced. To guarantee aircraft safety and optimal use of ATC capacity, De Kooy uses low visibility procedures.
Phase Conditions Procedure
A RVR <= 1500 M and/or ceiling <= 300 FT All WIP on airside will be terminated.
Separation between landing aircraft will be increased to 8 NM.
No opposite runway take-off and landing.
B RVR < 550 M Departures only.
No simultaneous ground movements.
C RVR < 300 M The airport is below operational minima for arriving and departing aircraft.

4 VFR FLIGHT PROCEDURES

Note:  visual procedures see chart VAC - VFR procedures.

4.1 General

VFR traffic crossing the CTR shall be carried out via the VFR reporting points (see visual approach chart) at 1500 FT AMSL, unless
otherwise instructed or approved by ATC.

4.2 VFR departures

  1. Unless otherwise instructed or approved climb after take-off to 1000 FT AMSL.
  2. Departure routes:
    • ECHO departure: proceed via BRAVO to ECHO.
    • OSCAR departure: proceed via HOTEL to OSCAR.
    • WHISKEY departure: proceed via HOTEL to WHISKEY.
    • ZULU departure: proceed via ROMEO to ZULU.
    ATC discretion only, when EHR8 (partly) inactive:
    • FOXTROT departure: proceed via FOXTROT to the CTR boundary.
    • MIKE departure: proceed via HOTEL and MIKE to the CTR boundary.
  3. Leave the CTR via the designated reporting points.

4.3 VFR approach procedures

  1. Contact De Kooy TWR 2 minutes before reaching the CTR boundary for permission to enter the CTR.
  2. Unless otherwise instructed, enter the CTR via designated reporting points (see visual approach chart) at 1500 FT AMSL and maintain.
  3. Descent to circuit altitude according the joining procedure which will be instructed by ATC:
    1. Overhead joining (1500 FT AMSL) : report overhead, join downwind and descend to 1000 FT AMSL.
    2. Direct joining ( ATC discretion only) : after passing one of the points BRAVO, FOXTROT, HOTEL, or ROMEO, join the circuit and descend to circuit altitude as instructed by ATC.
  4. VFR arrivals:
    • ECHO arrival: proceed via ECHO to BRAVO.
    • OSCAR arrival: proceed via OSCAR to HOTEL.
    • WHISKEY arrival: proceed via WHISKEY to HOTEL.
    • ZULU arrival: proceed via ZULU to ROMEO.
    ATC discretion only, when EHR8 (partly) inactive:
    • FOXTROT arrival: at CTR boundary proceed to FOXTROT.
    • MIKE arrival: at CTR boundary proceed via MIKE to HOTEL.

4.4 VFR traffic circuits

- RWY 03: righthand circuit at 1000 FT AMSL.
- RWY 21: lefthand circuit at 1000 FT AMSL.

4.5 Helicopter crosswind procedures

In case of excessive wind and upon request of the pilot, helicopters are allowed to depart/approach into the wind from/to mentioned helipads with prescribed circuit directions (only for (special)VFR departures/arrivals or visual landings). If it is the pilots intention to continue IFR after departure, contact as soon as practicable De Kooy Arrival (in accordance with the tower controller) to follow a SID.
Helipad Departure direction Landing direction
HP1 090° 270°
HP2 270° 090°
HP4 170° / 350° 170° / 350°

4.6 Communication failure procedures for VFR flights

- Select transponder code 7600.
- If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor on telephone number +31 (0)20 406 3999.
     Note:  use telephone connection to mitigate COM failure only. All telephone calls will be automatically recorded.
- If telephone connection is disconnected prematurely (before read-back):
    1. Climb/descent to 1500 FT AMSL according to the last known local QNH.
    2. Join a regular VFR arrival route at 1500 FT AMSL.
    3. Proceed to the west side of the runway at 1500 FT AMSL (via overhead when required to cross the centre line).
    4. When clear of centre line descend 500 FT AAL and proceed along the west side of the runway in use (direction upwind). If possible, fly "waggling wings"’ and flash landing lights.
    5. When passing upwind threshold turn downwind, maintain 500 FT AAL.
    6. When green light signal issued on downwind, continue the approach. In case of a red light signal, start orbiting on downwind at 500 FT AAL and wait for a green light signal.
    7. On final, landing clearance will be issued by a green light signal.
    8. After landing, vacate the runway and follow taxi instructions as issued by light signals.
    9. In case of any additional emergency remain on the runway.

Note:  if a communication failure occurs during taxiing, aircraft shall wait until communication is re-established, light signals are issued from the tower or a follow-me car arrives.
EHKD AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1 CAUTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. Intensive training operations with helicopters and light aircraft.
2. Light aircraft and model flying daily outside operational hours.
3. Glider site Noordkop is located 8 NM east of ARP, just outside the CTR.
4. UAS activities in the port of Den Helder MON-FRI 0600-1430 (MON-FRI 0500-1330). For more information, contact ATC De Kooy.
5. UAS activities on the military base at the southeast point of Texel.
6. Overflying the gas plant (0.5 NM east of ARP) below 1000 FT AMSL is prohibited.

2 EHR8 (Den Helder)

EHR8 is active MON-THU 0700-2300 (MON-THU 0600-2200), FRI 0700-1600 (FRI 0600-1500), or activated by NOTAM: see ENR 5.1.
This area is partly overlapping the CTR,  the east boundary of EHR8 is situated east of the dunes.

3 PPR CIVIL TRAFFIC

Civil traffic requesting prior permission contact Den Helder Airport:
Email: [email protected]

A standard request form can be obtained through the above mentioned email address or can be found on the webpage of Den Helder Airport https://denhelderairport.nl/eng/information-for-pilots/. When intending a full stop landing at De Kooy, please also include refuel, accommodation or other requirements.

Note:  only fully completed requests will be considered.

4 DISPLACED RUNWAY END RWY 03

After landing RWY 03, passing the runway end lights at taxiing speed is allowed. Beyond the runway end lights the pavement is classified as taxiway and equipped with alternating green/yellow centre line lights up to exit D1.
Take-off RWY 21 is allowed from the runway extremity.

5 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.
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).
