LPCR AD 2.20 Local Aerodrome regulations
1. Limitations on use of aerodrome
The Aerodrome is an UNCONTROLLED Aerodrome.
AD available for VMC operations only.
2. Taxiing
Back-track operations are forbidden on RWY 11/29. These operations must be done only on the Turning Bays of each runway.
LPCR AD 2.21 Noise abatement procedures
NIL
LPCR AD 2.22 Flight procedures
1. General
All authorizations must be obtained through FLORES TWR. (see LPFL AD-2.18)
Terrain raises very rapidly North of RWY11/29 protruding trough the transitional, conical and horizontal surfaces.
Due to High Terrain, Flights are not permitted NORTH of Runway 11/29.
All ACFT (Including ULM) Operating at ATZ are subject to the following conditions:
- Submission of a Flight Plan
- Transponder Mode C or S equipped
- Two Way radio communications equipped
Helicopters may operate in Corvo ATZ in less than 1500M but not less than 800M flight visibility, if manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision. Flight visibility lower than 800M for short periods during daylight, when in sight of land, are permitted for special cases, such as medical flights, search and rescue operations and fire-fighting.
Low level over water flights out of sight of land are also permitted if conducted under VFR when the cloud ceiling is greater than 600FT by day and 1200FT by night.
2. Arrivals
Traffic Pattern on the SOUTH Side of Runway 11 / 29.
3. Departures
Prior to Departure contact FLORES Tower to obtain ATC clearance and traffic information:
- Immediately after take-off Runway 11 turn right heading 164 and contact Flores TWR
- Immediately after take-off Runway 29 turn left heading 164 and contact Flores TWR
