Information about status of TWR Karlovy Vary is broadcasted by ATIS (127,640) in English language. ATIS information can be obtained also on  +420 353 239 798. Without information about ATC provision status CTR and TMA Karlovy Vary shall be considered as active.

1.10Coordination of Local FLight Activity with ATS unit

1.10.1Local flight activity (LFA)

The term “local flight activity” (LFA) 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 LARS (Local Activity Reservation System) application, which is accessible from web environment via a web browser`s interface.
Each user has to be registered in the system (by using login name and password) common for 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.
The application accessibility is also assured via selfbriefing workstation at LKKV.

1.10.2Pilots and aircraft operators

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

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

• landings and take-offs (touch and go landings)
• low approaches over the RWY or
• instrument approaches at the LKKV irrespective of the flight rules and/or the type of flight.

LFA slot represents the time period of LFA execution exclusively. The time of entry to the CTR or TMA Karlovy Vary is considered the time of LFA beginning. The time of LFA termination is considered when the outbound flight is commenced towards the destination aerodrome or the time of landing at LKKV.

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

• one aerodrome traffic circuit flight beginning and terminating at the appropriate airport,
• single touch and go at local airport from cross country flights where departure and/or arrival airport are different from the appropriate aerodrome or
• single instrument approach terminated with full stop landing or with low approach (pass) continuing to other destination than local airport.

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

1.10.3Contingency procedures

In case of LARS outage or failure, LFA in TMA / CTR Karlovy Vary shall be coordinated with ATC unit - for VFR flights by phone  +420 353 239 716TWR Karlovy Vary, for IFR flights by phone  +420 220 372 718ACC Praha, not less than 2 hours before LFA beginning.
