2.2.1.1   Delegation from Lisboa ACC to Madrid ACC

2.2.1.2   Delegation from Madrid ACC to Lisboa ACC

Airspace classification “C “.

By agreement between Lisboa ACC and Madrid ACC, the air traffic service is provided by Lisboa ACC within the airspace between Lisboa FIR Boundary and the line defined by following coordinates:

• ADORO - 411827N0061640W - BARDI - 393128N0062605W (CCS) - 391946N0062731W - 390632N0070142W.
• Vertical limits FL 245/UNL

2.2.1.3   Delegation from Seville ACC to Lisboa ACC

Airspace classification “C “.

By agreement between Lisboa ACC and Seville ACC, the air traffic service is provided by Lisboa ACC within the airspace between Lisboa FIR Boundary and the line defined by following coordinates:

• 385008N0070443W - MINTA. Excluding Area C2 described above.
• Vertical limits FL 245/UNL

2.2.1.4   Aerodrome Traffic Zones

2.2.1.5   Ponte de Sor Transponder and Radio Mandatory Zone (TRMZ)

The implementation of an ATZ in Ponte de Sor AD (LPSO) led to the establishment of an area designated as “Ponte de Sor Transponder and Radio Mandatory Zone”, with the airspace classification “G”, aiming to provide protection to aircraft in the critical stages of visual and instruments approaches inbound Ponte de Sor Aerodrome (LPSO).

Ponte de Sor TRMZ activation will be limited to Ponte de Sor AFIS hours of operation including PPR.

When Ponte de Sor (LPSO) is closed, FIS will be provided by Lisboa ACC inside ATZ.

2.2.2.1  GENERAL

The Portuguese Air Traffic Services Contingency Planning is based on strict operating criteria. Its method, structure and applicability are universal and based on the consequences of technical or catastrophic failures that may occur in the Air Navigation System. It contains material dealing with planning for TMA and En-Route contingencies.

Whenever a contingency occurs, CFMU and Madrid, Sevilla, Casablanca ACC and Santa Maria OAC will be informed accordingly.

The Conflict Free FL Allocation Scheme route structure will apply to all Scenarios.

2.2.2.2  TYPES OF CONTINGENCY

According to ATS resources remaining after a contingency situation has occurred, three scenarios have been identified:

Scenario 1: Radar failure and all frequencies normal (Degraded Mode Of Operations).

Scenario 2: Radar failure, last resort frequency equipment in use and LPMAD without frequency (Degraded Mode of Operations).

Scenario 3: Radar and frequencies failure. (Emergency Mode of Operations) Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Madeira Towers maintain radar and frequencies. With this scenario, ATS services (Information and Alert Services only) will be provided from Control Towers.

2.2.2.2.1  Scenarios of Contingency and Capacities:

2.2.2.2.1.1  Scenario 1:

Radar failure and all frequencies normal:

2.2.2.2.1.3  Scenario 3 (1):

Radar and frequencies failure (Catastrophic failure).

Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Madeira Towers maintain radar and frequencies.

With this scenario, ATS services will be provided from Control Towers.

Note: (1) To be implemented as soon as the frequencies had been allocated to the Towers.
