LKKV  AD 2.20  LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

2.20.1 Pilots of aircraft with MTOW over 5700 kg in the daytime and all aircraft at night shall use all the take-off run available (TORA) distance of RWY 11/29 for take-off.

Turning around of the aircraft with code letter C on RWY 11/29 is not eligible due to extreme stress on the asphalt pavement in the area around the inner main landing gear.

Hence, the adherence to standard procedures for turning around, i.e. use of RWY 29 turn pad and / or TWY D and TWY E, is requested as far as possible.

2.20.2 Rock mining (quarry) connected with blasting is carried out in the area 1.5 km left of RWY 29 centre line and 7 km in front of THR RWY 29.
2.20.3  The movements and positioning of aircraft on the stands on the APN M and APN E are controlled by the marshaller. On the stands on APN W and APN S, the pilot-in-command maneuvers independently. On APN W and APN S marshaller’s services are provided only upon request.

Any aircraft entering APN M or APN E may approach its assigned stand only under the guidance of the marshaller. The aerodrome control tower (TWR) informs the crew of the assigned stand based on information from the marshaller. TWR manages the movement of the aircraft across the movement area up to the boundary of the stand area, where responsibility for the aircraft’s movement is then taken over by the marshaller. The marshaller ensures the safe guidance of aircraft to their assigned stands. In case the marshaller is not available, TWR will have the aircraft taxiing to APN M or APN E hold a position so that minimally obstructs other airport operations.

When taxiing to the appropriate apron, expect a handover between the TWR and the marshaller at the boundary between the taxiway and the aircraft stand - see AD 2-LKKV-2-3.

2.20.4 Taxi clearance issued by TWR does not relieve the pilot of the duty to follow the instructions of the marshaller. If the pilot begins or continues taxiing without guidance from the marshaller, he/she is solely responsible for avoiding collisions with other aircraft, vehicles, persons, or objects on the apron.
2.20.5 Aircraft crews are required to remain with the aircraft until the arrival of an airport operator vehicle. For safety reasons, it is prohibited to move around the aprons without the consent of the airport operator.
2.20.6 Complete handling services of flights are provided by company Airport Karlovy Vary.
2.20.7 Aircraft operators are obliged to present a written request for a change in AD operational hours for a series of flights (regularly repeated flights), which will be performed outside of the published aerodrome operational hours, 30 days in advance, not later than the 15th day of the month preceding the month when the first flight of the series is executed. For single flights 24 hours in advance.

Ref AD 2 LKKV AD 2.3.

2.20.8 In addition to the provision in GEN 4.3 para 1.2 the following procedure is required for day and night training VFR flights out of the published operational hours (with TWR/ APP service or the unit providing information to known traffic):
  1. A request for these flights shall be submitted in a writing to AD operator in working day at least 24 hours in advance.

  2. The request shall include:

    1. type of aircraft, registration mark, MTOW;

    2. operator specification for billing purposes;

    3. estimated time of the beginning and termination of training flights, if extension of the AD operational hours is requested and if the usage of lighting aids is requested.

  3. The AD operator will inform the applicant in writing of the approval of the requested training with or without possible restrictions on the next day after submission of the application till 1600 at the latest.

2.20.9 Aerobatic flights restriction
2.20.9.1 Aerobatic flights over the aerodrome are allowed only in the area east of THR RWY 30.
2.20.10 Outside operational hours, only the traffic of aircraft operated by the Aerobatics Flight Center Karlovy Vary is allowed following the conditions:
  1. FIRE CAT 2 is provided by the Aerobatics Flight Center Karlovy Vary;

  2. Night flights, training flights to obtain pilot license, operation of 2 aircraft at the same time and flights requiring customs and immigration clearance are not allowed.

2.20.11  Coordination of Local Flight Activity with the ATS unit
2.20.11.1  Local flight activity (LFA)

The term "local flight activity" () means a flight activity related to repetitive landings and take-offs, touch and go landings and low approaches (passes) over the RWY at the appropriate airport.

The coordination is executed by means of (Local Activity Reservation System) application, which is accessible from the web environment via a web browser's interface.

Each user has to be registered in the system (by using login name and password) common to the application of Flight information services of the CR. Without signing in to the system, it is not allowed to create or modify any reservation.

2.20.11.2  Pilots and aircraft operators

Pilots and aircraft operators intending to execute a in the CTR / TMA Karlovy Vary are obliged to submit their requirement by filling out the form on https://lars.rlp.cz/home together with the basic flight parameters (flight rules, type of flight, flight identification, contact to the pilot, requested time period) and with the description of the requested .

For to be performed, it is inevitable to obtain the confirmation in a form of a “LFA slot”, containing a time period, determined for the execution of the expected flight activity.

The slot acquisition is compulsory for all pilots and aircraft operators intending to perform the activities characterized as repetitive:

  1. landings and take-off (touch and go landings)

  2. low approaches over the RWY or

  3. instrument approach at LKKV irrespective of the flight rules and / or the type of flight.

 

The reservation is not required for single movements over the RWY not corresponding to the principle of , i.e. e.g.:

  1. one aerodrome traffic circuit flight beginning and terminating at the appropriate airport,

  2. single touch and go at a local airport from cross country flights where the departure and / or arrival airport are different from the appropriate aerodrome or

  3. single instrument approach terminated with full stop landing or with low approach (pass) continuing to other destination than the local airport.

Despite a received and confirmed “LFA slot”, the appropriate ATC unit at LKKV has the right to modify or even cancel a confirmed reservation due to operational reasons. The pilot is notified of this fact via email or SMS on the registered phone number.

2.20.11.3  Contingency procedures

In case of LARS outage or failure, in the TMA / CTR Karlovy Vary shall be coordinated with the ATC unit

2.22.2.4  Departures
2.22.2.4.1  Exchange of Data with Network Manager Operations Center (NMOC) - Advanced ATC TWR

LKKV exchanges information for departure flights by applying the Advanced ATC TWR procedures.

Message exchange from the local system to the ATM network complies with the European standard for A-CDM airports, using the following message types:

  • A-DPI: ATC departure planning information message, for all instrumental departure flights

  • C-DPI: Cancel DPI, cancellation of departure planning information, when required

When push-back approval has been given and the aircraft starts to exit the stand, the TTOT is calculated and transmitted to NMOC via an A-DPI message. The use of the variable taxiing time increases the precision of the TTOT.

After reception of the A-DPI, DLA or CHG messages that change the flight plan data shall not be accepted. If regulated, the CTOT assigned before receiving the A-DPI shall be maintained.

If an aircraft has to abort taxiing for technical reasons, the TWR will send a C-DPI message to the NMOC. The result of the C-DPI is that the flight shall be suspended by informing the operator via an FLS (flight suspension message) with the comment “suspended by departure airport”. The flight plan can be activated again by updating the EOBT with a DLA or CHG message.

2.22.2.4.2 Air traffic controller will not clear an aircraft for take off from RWY 29 if the meteorological conditions do not allow a clear identification of the obstacle Vitkuv vrch, 2214 ft / 675 m AMSL, 500 m behind RWY 29 end on the left.

(Ref. AD 2-LKKV-5-1, Close in obstacle)

2.22.2.4.3 Departure procedures are described on the following pages and shown on SID charts.
2.22.2.4.4  RNAV-1 certification based on GNSS is required for RNAV departure routes.

Note: Availability of the DME / DME signal is not guaranteed.

2.22.2.4.5 Aircraft which are only RNAV-5 capable but able to follow the assigned route based on RNAV-1 shall inform ATC at first contact and the ATC will provide flight path monitoring, in order to mitigate the risk of gross navigation errors.
2.22.2.4.6  Aircraft not approved for RNAV operations shall inform ATC when establishing the first radio contact, vectoring will be provided.
2.22.2.4.7 When airborne, pilots of departing aircraft shall remain on frequency of TWR Karlovy Vary untiI they receive an instruction to transfer communication to relevant frequency of the unit responsible for departing aircraft. This instruction contains unit call sign only (PRAHA RADAR). The relevant frequency is then a part of charted departure procedures (SID and OMNIDIRECTIONAL). ln case it is necessary, for any reason, to use frequency other than the published one, the relevant frequency will be thereafter included in frequency change instruction obtained from TWR. After establishing contact, pilots are requested to report:
