LPFR AD 2.20  Local Aerodrome regulations

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:

  1. Ensure safe and expeditious movement of vehicles;
  2. Provision of Marshalling Services;
  3. Aircraft stands allocations;
  4. Aircraft parking procedure and departure from the stand;
  5. Aircraft towing;
  6. Granting permission for:
    1. Aircraft towing between stand/aprons;
    2. Aircraft refueling in the presence of passengers;
    3. Engine start up on stand;
    4. Engine test runs.
  7. Inspections on movement area

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:

  1. Service designation: AOS - Airport Operations Service
  2. Call Sign: FARO Safety
  3. Frequency: 131.455MHZ
  4. Hours of Operation: H24
  5. Remarks: For matters related to refuelling in the presence of passengers; engine start up on stand; engine test run; APU INOP; other safety procedures.

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:

  1. Push-back and Start/Gate Entry Procedures are assisted by marshaller and/or follow-me.
  2. Departing aircraft shall wait for RVR improvement at the stand.

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:

  1. Parking Position
  2. ATIS ACK
  3. ATC Clearance which includes:
    • Aircraft Identification
    • Clearance Limit, normally Destination Aerodrome
    • Designator of the assigned SID, if applicable. When receiving the Designator of the assigned SID, pilots shall comply with the published SID vertical profile and,
    • Any other necessary instructions or information not contained in the SID description, e.g., CTOT.

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).

LPFR AD 2.22  Flight procedures

1. ILS CAT I/II OPERATIONS

1.1 Runway 28, subject to serviceability of the required facilities, is suitable for CAT II operations by operators whose minima have been accepted by ANAC.

1.2 Low Visibility Operations Procedures (LVP) will be in course whenever:

  1. Runway Visual Range (RVR) - TDZ RWY28 is 800M or below; or,
  2. Cloud Base Height (CBH) - RWY28 is 200FT or below; or,
  3. Visibility conditions decrease rapidly;

Irrespective of the serviceability state of the ILS, lighting, stand-by power, etc. Pilots will be informed when these procedures are in use by RTF if ATIS is unserviceable through the message “ ATC LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN FORCE”.

1.3 ATC Low Visibility Procedures

  1. Ground Safeguarding Procedures will ensure that ILS protection areas (Critical and Sensitive) are clear of (KNOWN) traffic before issuing the landing clearance (never after 2NM final).
  2. When the aircraft reaches that point and landing clearance cannot be issued, it will be instructed to carry out a missed approach procedure.
  3. Any incident detected that may affect the Low Visibility Procedures or any change of the operational minima will be communicated, immediately, to ATC units involved.
  4. Pilots will be informed by ATC of any unserviceabilities in the promulgated facilities so that they can amend their minima, if necessary, according to their operations manual.
  5. A change in operation, if caused by a failure expected to last more than one hour, will be promulgated by a NOTAM.
  6. Aircraft awaiting weather improvement in the holding area will be stacked from FL070 upward.
  7. Pilots shall report RWY ILS Localizer Sensitive Area vacated when aircraft passes the last alternate green yellow TWY centreline lights.

1.4 Runway Visual Range

Runway Visual Range values will be reported by ATC for TDZ (Touchdown) RWY 28.
For any of the two other positions, MID (Midpoint) and END (Stop-end), ATC will only report their RVR values if they are:

  1. Less than the value reported for TDZ and less than 800M;
  2. less than 350M, or;
  3. requested by the pilot.

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.

LPFR AD 2.23  Additional information

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.
