1. Limitations on use of aerodrome
Restricted to ACFT capable of maintaining two-way communications with Faro TWR. For airport slots request see GEN 1.2 ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT
2. Airport Operations Service
Airport Operations Service is an airport responsability, accountable for:
All airport manoeuvring area inspections are coordinated with ATC. Follow-me vehicles are equipped with ATC radio receivers and marshallers maintain RADIO listening at all times in TWR (120.755MHz) or GND (118.580 MHz) frequencies. If runway contamination occurs or changes, AOS will assess and inform ATC of runway conditions Planning and aircraft parking positions changes are transmitted to ATC automatically. In order to regulate movement with the objective of preventing collisions between aircrafts and between aircraft and obstacles. Follow-me vehicles or marshallers, may request to pilot of an aircraft to stop when taxiing. FARO Airport Operations Service frequency:
3. Push-Back, engine start-up and taxi procedures
3.1 Push Back
Pilots should only request push-back when they are ready to do so (Ground staff and tug ready).Aircraft outgoing from a nose in stand must be pushed back. Use of reverse thrust for manoeuvring is not permitted.All push back manoeuvres should be done in accordance with the Bidirectional Breakaway points (BP) procedure in force. There are 18 Bidirectional BP, each one of them facing East or West depending on ATC clearance. If unable to comply with the designated BP, handler must inform pilot, and pilot must inform ATC.
Other procedures may be assigned by ATC due to operational reasons. Push and hold manoeuvres are coordinated with ATC and AOS - Airport Operations Service.
Aircraft will be parked in stands 321, 323 and 325 in outgoing nose out position. When cleared for taxi, pilots are reminded to use lower possible power settings.
Push-back and Start/Gate Entry for ILS CAT I/II Operations:
3.2 Engine Start-Up
Till 10 minutes prior to EOBT, departing traffic shall contact Faro Ground or Faro TWR, as announced by ATIS. This contact with ATC is to inform/receive:
Start-up on stand and cross bleed starts must be coordinated with AOS - Airport Operations Service followed by the request to ATC (see also para 4.3)
Start-up is allowed during Push-Back manoeuvre.
Anti-Collision lights must be activated prior to Push-Back manoeuvre and whenever engines are operating.
3.3 Taxiing
Aircraft using aprons must taxi following the continuous yellow centre line marking apron axis and shall use the lowest possible power settings.
Pilots are reminded about the extreme importance of always maintaining a careful lookout.
Taxi caution required when taxiing into stands 314 to 324 (Apron N) and 432 to 466 (Apron NE) due to crossing of vehicle service road.
Due to operational reasons (e.g., waiting for available stand or slot compliance) taxiway ECHO may be used by ATC as an holding position for ACFTs.
Due to intake area, 4 engines ACFTs type like B747, A340 or similar are requested to taxi with outboard engines on “IDLE”.
Taxi lights must be activated during taxiing and switch-off when in final position for parking.
3.4 Taxi for ILS CAT II Operations
General
Taxi instructions will be supported by the convenient switched on/off of taxiway centre line lights (green) and STOP BAR LIGHTS (red). So, Pilots shall stop and request further instructions at any STOP BAR lighted, as well as at any segment of taxiway centre line lights, unlighted.
Taxiway centre line lights within localizer sensitive area are coded by alternate yellow and green lights (See also AD 2.15)
4. Use of Ground Power Unit (GPU), use of Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
4.1 Use of GPU
The use of mobile autonomous GPUis not allowed when ACFT are parked at contact stands provided with Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) (314, 316, 318, 320, 322 and 324),except if GPU system at the PBB is unserviceable.
4.2 Use of
The use of must be limited as much as possible.
may be used at stands 314, 316, 318, 320, 322 and 324 as follows.
Narrow-Body ACFT are allowed to use until 5 minutes after “chocks on” and 5 minutes before EOBT/ETD.
Wide-Body ACFT are allowed to use until 10 minutes after “chocks on” and 10 minutes before ETD
EXEMPTIONS: If air conditioning system at the PBB is unserviceable.
4.3 unserviceability
Whenever an ACFT is out of service, crew shall advise ATC or AOS- Airport Operations Service using Faro Safety frequency 131.455 MHz.
On contact stands provided with PBB, whenever an is out of service, only one engine start-up is permitted on the stand. A PPR - Prior Permission Request shall be granted by AOS - Airport Operations Service, before Start-up clearance from Faro TWR.
Follow-Me assistance is mandatory.
5. Engine test runs
Engine test runs are allowed from 06:05 (05:05) to 23:59 (22:59) on the condition that a PPRwas granted by the AOS - Airport Operations Service. Operators shall indicate the real time of start and duration of the test.
Engine test runs in idle power may take place on stands, exception on stands 314, 316, 318, 320, 322 and 324 whenever the PBB are connected to the ACFT.
Engine dry motor may take place at any time subject to AOS PPR.
Engine test runs above idle power shall take place in a location designated by AOS - Airport Operations Service (TWY C2, TWY P or TWY E).
RFF services presence on site is mandatory.
6. Training flights
All landings and take-off at LPFR for training, test and instruction flights are only permitted between 07:00 and 22:00 (06:00- 21:00). Those flights must be prepaid to the airport except if the Operator has an open account with FARO Airport or a local representative responsible for the payment of landing fees.
Operators shall coordinate in advance training, test and or instruction flights with consecutive take-off and landings at least 72 hours before operation with AOS - Airport Operations Service. For that purpose use SITA FAOKAXH Email: [email protected]
Practice of Instruments or Visual Approaches to LPFR for training, test and or instruction flights are not allowed between 06:00 - 06:59 and 22:01 - 23:59 (05:00 - 05:59 and 21:01 - 223:59).

1.5 Practice CAT II Approaches
Pilots who wish to practice CAT II approaches are to request practice CAT II approaches, on initial contact with FARO APPROACH (e.g. “REQUEST PRACTICE CAT II APPROACH”).
For practice approaches there is no guarantee that the full safeguarding procedures will be applied and pilots should anticipate the possibility of resultant ILS signal disturbance.

6. CONTINUOUS DESCENT OPERATIONS (CDO)
General Procedures
All STAR with designation K (KILO) are associated with CDO. Aircraft inbound Faro Airport performing SOTEX5K, ODEMI5K and ALAGU5K STAR will carry out a Continuous Descent Operation and will be required to comply with the following procedures:
Phraseology
The appropriate phraseology is as follows:The crew makes a request for the CDO, before SOTEX, ODEMI and ALAGU:
Pilot request to ATC
«[Concerned ATC Sector], TAP1245, requesting C-D-O Runway [28 or 10]»
[Concerned ATC Sector] replies as follows:
a) «TAP 1245, unable to approve CDO (reason), cleared/fly to...(Standard STAR)»
b) «TAP 1245, cleared for =====K»
Radio Communications Failure
In the event of RCF, squawk A 7600, fly at/to last assigned Level to VFA VOR/DME and, over holding pattern, at ETA according CPL or EAT (when received and acknowledged), start descend to initial approach altitude to carry out a standard IFR approach according to IAC.For aircraft equipped with onboard telephone, dial +351 289 89 41 63.

1. Bird hazard warning
The birds activity is characterized by the presence of sea and colonial birds permanently in the vicinity of the airfield area, mainly during the Spring/Summer periods. Birds activity increases two hours before sunrise and sunset. Typical flight profiles predominantly East-West and North-South at highs between 10 meters (33FT) and 70 meters (230FT). Specific specimen groups reach 300 meters (1000FT) high during migration periods.
Gas cannon devices installed around runway 28/10 and automatically activated during Airport Operational Hours. Pilots are advised that birds may not be promptly detected.
During daylight Falconry is also used, with predatory birds, such as Falcons and Hawks to drive birds away. For bird dispersal purposes, it’s possible to broadcast alarm and distress calls, use automatic LP gas exploders and laser bird dispersal.
