1Local traffic regulations and restrictions

1.1Control of aircraft moving on movement area

1.1.1The aircraft will not be led to stands 25, 50 to 75 and E1 to E7 by FOLLOW ME car and the control service will be provided in the position of stand.

1.1.5While taxiing on the apron, the pilot shall assume full responsibility for avoiding collision with other aircraft, vehicles, persons or objects.

1.1.6Because of increasing of apron NORTH capacity the airport operator (Prague Airport) is authorized to order releasing of a stand and towing of an aircraft to an alternative lay-by/apron stand if the aircraft occupies the apron stand for more than 180 minutes.

1.1.7Performance of engine test runs at the Aprons of LKPR is prohibited, with exception of stands from E3 to E7 on the apron EAST in engine idling speed for propeller aircraft with wingspan maximally 29 m in time from 0600 to 2200 (0500-2100).

1.2Taxiing

1.2.1Taxiing of aircraft with usage of its own engines is allowed only on manoeuvring area. Taxiing outside manoeuvring area is prohibited.

1.2.2Due to safety reasons for taxi-out on the apron use minimum power only.

1.2.3Avoiding of other aircraft near the holding points is the full responsibility of the pilot-in-command, as a safe separation is not ensured here.

1.2.4After landing on RWY 06/24 vacation via RWY 12 is prohibited unless otherwise stated by ATC. There is prohibited taxiing of aircraft to RWY 12 along RWY 06/24 with exemption of the segment between TWY L and TWY D.

1.2.5TWY FF is closed for all operation of aircraft.

1.2.6The taxi speed limit of max. 15 kt applies in the following sections:

TWY D between TWY L and TWY J;

TWY H between TWY L and TWY B;
TWY H1.

1.2.7Air-taxiing of helicopters from/to TWY Q1 to/from APN Bell is allowed only for helicopters with rotor diameter up to 15 m.

1.2.8Taxiing of helicopters equipped with a wheeled landing gear is only permitted in ground taxiing mode. In the event of a wheel chassis failure preventing taxiing on the ground, air-taxiing is permitted.

1.3.2If unable to comply with the HIRO system, pilots are requested to advise ATC as soon as possible.

1.4Arrival

1.4.1Whenever RWY conditions permit, pilots are requested to vacate RWY after landing via following exit taxiways:

1.5.3Pilots should ensure that they line up immediately after being cleared and to be ready to continue with a rolling take-off if necessary.

1.6Flight procedures

VFR flights may expect significant restrictions regarding required trajectory, flight level and flight time (its extension) due to high traffic density in connection with position and configuration of LKPR and LKKB airports, which requires implementation of additional mechanisms to keep desired safety level, fluency and efficiency of flights.
