LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

 

Ground movement about the aerodrome airfield

RWY use

RWY as a rule are used in the mode of segregated parallel operations (one RWY is used for take-off, the other RWY - for landing) in the following combinations:

  • RWY 10L – take-off, RWY 10R – landing;
  • RWY 28R – take-off, RWY 28L – landing.

In the periods of increased intensity of arriving ACFT air traffic the mode of simultaneous dependent parallel approaches can be used.

 

Start-up, taxi (towing) clearance

Engines start-up (including run-up) and ACFT movement about the airfield excluding movement on RWY strips shall be carried out by clearance of GND controller (call sign ”Pulkovo-Ground”, frequency 121.700 MHz).

Taxiing and towing shall be carried out after obtaining taxi (towing) clearance and information about taxi route.

 

The mode S transponder utilization for ground movement control

Sankt-Peterburg/Pulkovo AD is equipped with a Multilateration system (MLAT) using mode S.

In order to improve ground movement control the flight crew of ACFT equipped with the mode S transponder must ensure that the mode S transponder is able to operate during ACFT ground movement.

During departure - the flight crew shall:

  • select the assigned code (squawk) and activate the mode S transponder from request for towing or taxi whichever is earlier.

After landing - the flight crew shall:

  • keep the mode S transponder activated until the ACFT is parked on stand;
  • set the Mode A code 2000 immediately after parking on the stand and before selecting OFF or STAND-BY.

Activation of the mode S transponder means selecting AUTO mode, ON, XPNDR, or the equivalent according to specific installation. Selection of the STAND-BY mode will NOT activate the mode S transponder.

The flight crew of ACFT equipped with Mode S having an ACFT identification feature must also set the ACFT identification specified in Item 7 of ICAO Flight Plan.

The ACFT identification must be entered before the request for towing or taxi, whichever is earlier, through the FMS or the transponder control panel.

 

Taxiing to and from stands

Before starting the flight the flight crew shall obtain ATC clearance for flight operation, departure instructions, transponder code from "Pulkovo-Delivery" controller on frequency 121.900 MHz.

On first contact with GND controller (call sign “Pulkovo-Ground”, 121.700 MHz) the flight crew must report the ATIS information code letter and stand number.

Note:

Outside operational hours of "Pulkovo-Delivery" (2100-0500 UTC) the flight crew shall obtain ATC clearance for flight operation, departure instructions, transponder code from GND controller.

The departure instructions contain:

  • the procedure of manoeuvring after take-off;
  • the altitude of the initial climb;
  • the call sign of the control unit, with which it is necessary to establish radio contact after take-off, and the frequency on which it operates.

When SID is used, "Pulkovo-Delivery" controller/GND controller shall indicate SID designator and the altitude of the initial climb. Unless otherwise instructed, at 700 ft after take-off the flight crew shall establish communication with TWR controller (call sign – “Pulkovo-Krug”, frequency 120.300 MHz).

ACFT taxiing shall be executed along the TWY centre lines and apron taxi routes.

Movement along the RWY strip shall be carried out only by permission of TWR controller:

  • for RWY 10L/28R strip - call sign “Pulkovo-Tower”, frequency 118.100 MHz;
  • for RWY 10R/28L strip - call sign “Pulkovo-Tower”, frequency 118.700 MHz.

After vacating RWY 28L via TWY A4 ACFT must proceed without stopping via MAIN TWY A to TWY A2. Further taxiing via MAIN TWY A and apron to the assigned stand shall be executed strictly by the instructions of GND controller.

 

FLIGHT PROCEDURES

 

Flight operation using QNH pressure

Assignment of altitudes below the transition level and maintaining of these altitudes by the flight crew shall be carried out in feet based upon QNH pressure.

The value of QNH pressure in HPa shall be transmitted in ATIS message.

QFE pressure is issued by ATS unit on request of the flight crew only.

TWR controller (“Pulkovo-Krug”) assigns the following altitudes below the transition level: 2500 ft, 3500 ft. If necessary, any altitude divisible by 100 ft in the range of 2000-3500 ft can be assigned.

The flight crews of the ACFT not equipped for maintaining altitude in feet based upon QNH pressure must have conversion tables allowing to interpret the obtained instruction of ATS unit relating to the available equipment (for example, conversion table of feet QNH-metres QFE).

 

ACFT take-off procedure

ACFT carrying out IFR flight shall execute take-off from RWY 10L/28R and RWY 10R/28L.

Take-off not from the RWY beginning shall be carried out by the flight crew’s request or by the initiative of the appropriate ATS unit. The responsibility for taking the decision to carry out such take-off is rested on the pilot-in-command. Take-off is cleared only for ACFT with wheeled landing gear.

When executing ICAO CAT IIIA flight operations, take-off shall be carried out only from RWY beginning.

Note:

In case ACFT taxi for departure via MAIN TWY B, take-off from RWY 28R starting from TWY B3 is preferential for the purpose of RWY 28R GP signal protection from interference. When ready for take-off from TWY B3 the flight crew shall report it to GND controller when requesting the clearance for engines start-up.

Downwind take-off shall be carried out for the purpose of ACFT flow expediting on the flight crew’s request or by the initiative of the appropriate ATS unit. The responsibility for taking the decision to carry out such take-off is rested on the pilot-in-command.

When ACFT is not ready to take off without stopping at line-up position, the flight crew must advise the time necessary for preparation for take-off when establishing radio contact with TWR controller.

When executing take-off without stopping at line-up position, the take-off must be executed not later than in 1 minute after obtaining the clearance.

When the flight crew was assigned the take-off time in advance, the assigned time must be maintained with accuracy of up to 1 minute. If the accuracy of the assigned time is not maintained, the sequence of aircraft for take-off can be changed.

Take-off and initial climb shall be carried out:

  • along SID routes which include the procedure of climbing and transition to ATS route structure up to CRP on the boundary of CTA;
  • under a continuous radar control - along the tracks assigned by ATS unit by radar vectoring.

Departure instructions can be corrected by the TWR controller before issuing clearance for take-off.

Unless otherwise instructed by ATS unit, ACFT shall climb to 3500 ft, at ALT 700 ft establish radio contact with TWR controller (call sign “Pulkovo-Krug”,  frequency 120.300 MHz). During radio contact after take-off the flight crew must report that take-off has been carried out and report the assigned SID and ALT to be reached.

 

Procedures for IFR flights within CTA

All SID, STAR and approach procedures of Sankt-Peterburg/Pulkovo AD are based on area navigation according to RNAV 1 specification using GNSS.

ACFT executing transit flight via CTA shall carry out flight along the airways, the established flight routes and also along the tracks assigned by the ATS unit by the method of radar vectoring.

RWY 10L LOM (PU) can be used for the purposes of navigation.

During the flight below FL100, the indicated airspeed shall be maintained at not more than 500 km/h (270 knots).

 

IFR departure

RNAV (GNSS) SID is AVBL for the ACFT having certified equipment and operated by the flight crew having the appropriate approval.

If the flight crew does not have available data on RNAV (GNSS) SID parameters or if unable to maintain RNAV (GNSS) SID, the flight crew must report it to ”Pulkovo-Delivery” controller (GND controller) and request vectoring for departure.

Climbing shall be carried out only to the level (altitude, flight level) cleared by the ATS unit.

Application of radar vectoring and/or “Direct to” procedure is possible to provide the established intervals of separation after take-off.

When establishing radio contact with APP controller in climbing phase the flight crew must report the current altitude and altitude to be reached.

When HEL depart from RWY 28R to execute IFR flights, the published SID procedures for RWY 28R shall not be used due to activity of prohibited area ULP37. After take-off ATS unit vectors HEL in order to prevent it from penetrating prohibited area ULP37.

 

IFR arrival

Descent and approach to Sankt-Peterburg/Pulkovo AD shall be carried out:

  • along the established STAR and approach procedures using “Direct to” procedure;
  • by vectoring.

RNAV (GNSS) STAR is AVBL for the ACFT having certified equipment and operated by the flight crew having the appropriate approval.

If the flight crew does not have available data on RNAV (GNSS) STAR and/or the instrument approach procedure parameters or if unable to maintain RNAV (GNSS) STAR and/or the instrument approach procedure, the flight crew must report it to APP controller and request vectoring for arrival and/or approach.

When establishing radio contact with APP controller in descent phase the flight crew must report the current altitude and altitude to be reached.

The entry of arriving ACFT into CTA shall be carried out via the entry points AKARU, BEPOL, GENPA, KOLET, OBANA observing altitude restrictions established for these points and published for the relevant STAR.

When flying along the STAR, the flight crew must observe the track, vertical profile and speed restrictions published on the STAR chart.

Note:

Altitude and speed restrictions can be cancelled by APP controller.

Alignment of STAR track shall be carried out only after obtaining the instruction from the ATS unit to proceed directly to the assigned point.

STAR have been developed using Point Merge technology and have the segments envisaged for ACFT holding to regulate approach intervals. The fuel, which is required for flying along such segment, should be included into holding fuel.

 

IFR approach

The main type of the instrument approach is ILS approach. The flight crew shall obtain the information about the possibility of ILS approach from ATIS message. If the flight crew intends to carry out the approach different from ILS approach, the flight crew must report it to APP controller and obtain confirmation.

Regulation of approach intervals is carried out, as a rule, using an arcuate segment of arrival route - sequencing leg. When the interval between the preceding ACFT is provided, the ATS unit shall issue the instruction to the flight crew of the succeeding ACFT to proceed directly to IAF or IF of the respective RWY of landing. The flight crew must be ready at any moment of time to proceed directly to the assigned waypoint by the instruction of ATS unit.

The permission to proceed directly to IF is issued only if the angle of ACFT approach path to final is not more than 45 degrees.

In case ACFT navigation is provided by on board facilities, the approach clearance is issued when ACFT is on the initial approach segment (approaching IF). The flight crew shall execute descent observing the profile of the published approach procedure after obtaining the approach clearance.

In case of vectoring the approach clearance is issued simultaneously with the last assigned heading, in that case the flight crew shall maintain the altitude cleared by the ATS unit until glide path interception.

The flight crew must listen to the current ATIS message and report its code letter on first radio contact with APP controller.

ACFT shall carry out landings on RWY 10L/28R and RWY 10R/28L.

Only aeroplanes with wheel landing gear are cleared to land.

Downwind landing shall be carried out for the purpose of ACFT flow expediting on the flight crew’s request or by the initiative of the appropriate ATS unit. The responsibility for taking the decision on carrying out such landing is rested on the pilot-in-command.

On the final approach segment, the flight crew shall maintain IAS not less than 300 km/h (160 knots) up to distance 8 km from THR of RWY of landing.

When HEL execute IFR approach to RWY 10L the following published instrument approach procedures shall not be used due to activity of prohibited area ULP37: ILS 10L, DVOR 10L, NDB (LOM) 10L, RNP Z 10L, RNP (AR) Y 10L, GLS 10L.

IFR approaches to RWY 10L shall be carried out in accordance with the instrument approach procedures for RWY 10R (ILS 10R, NDB (LOM) 10R, RNP Z 10R, RNP (AR) Y 10R, GLS 10R), then after entering the visual manoeuvring area and when flight crew establishes visual contact with the runway or its references, visual manoeuvring (circle-to-land manoeuvre) to RWY 10L shall be carried out.

ATS unit issues the appropriate clearance: «Cleared ILS RUNWAY 10R followed by circling to RUNWAY 10L».

 

Precision approach

The following procedures shall be used for RWY 10R ILS approaches:

  • “ILS Y RWY 10R” - in the periods of flight operations at Pushkin aerodrome;
  • “ILS Z RWY 10R” – in the periods when no flight operations are carried out at Pushkin aerodrome.

The following procedures shall be used for RWY 28L ILS approaches:

  • “ILS Y RWY 28L” in the periods of flight operations at Gorelovo landing field;
  • “ILS Z RWY 28L” in the periods when no flight operations are carried out at Gorelovo landing field.

“ILS Z RWY 10R” procedure shall be used for RWY 10R approach when using the mode of segregated parallel operations, “ILS Z RWY 28L” procedure shall be used for RWY 28L approach.

“ILS Z RWY 10R” procedure shall be used for RWY 10R approach when using the mode of simultaneous dependent parallel approaches, “ILS Z RWY 28L” procedure shall be used for RWY 28L approach.

 

Non-precision approach

RNAV (GNSS), NDB (LOM) non-precision approach shall be carried out to all runways and DVORDME non-precision approach - to RWY 10L/28R.

NDB (LOM) approach, where there is an operational ILS of the runway-in use, shall be carried out only in separate cases (in case of a failure (absence) of the required airborne equipment, the execution of a flight training etc.). When the flight crew intends to carry out NDB (LOM) approach, the appropriate radio technical facilities (LOM, LMM) are switched on by the flight crew’s request 30 minutes before the estimated time of landing.

 

Visual approach

A visual approach shall be carried out in the day-time:

  • on a pilot-in-command's request;
  • on the initiative of ATS unit, when the instrument approach is not possible due to technical reasons (failure of radio navigation aid of landing).

Approach to the aerodrome for execution of a visual approach shall be carried out:

  • along the published STAR and IAC until reaching FAP/FAF at FAP/FAF crossing ALT according to the published procedure; or
  • by vectoring to FAP/FAF.

Visual approach with establishing on the final approach track at a distance from RWY less than FAP/FAF distance (short visual approach) shall be carried out in exceptional case only when urgent landing is required (in an abnormal case, in case of a diseased person is on board and so on). The responsibility for maintaining a safe descent profile shall be completely placed on the flight crew. The execution of a short visual approach in order to save fuel shall not be carried out due to necessity to comply with the requirement of minimum safe flight height over a populated area.

ATS unit shall issue the permission to execute a visual approach only after the pilot-in-command's report about the establishment of the visual contact with the runway of landing and its references.

During descent from 2500 ft the aircraft must manoeuvre within CTR.

 

Missed approach under IFR

Radar vectoring may be applied to provide the repeated approach.

In case of the missed approach in the process of execution of a visual approach (until the aircraft establishes on final) the aircraft shall execute a turn towards the runway of landing, then proceed along the published missed approach procedure.

In case of the missed approach by the decision of the pilot-in-command the flight crew must immediately report it to TWR controller. Changeover to radio communication with “Pulkovo-Krug” controller shall be carried out by the instruction of TWR controller.

Missed approach under VFR

Unless otherwise instructed by ATS unit, in case of missed approach during RWY 10L/28R approach procedure, the flight shall be carried out to the North holding area.

ATC surveillance procedures within CTA

Entry of the aircraft not equipped with SSR transponders into the CTA is prohibited. In separate cases and only on coordination with the ATS unit, entry of the aircraft not equipped with SSR transponders into the CTA may be permitted. The ATS unit assigns time of entry into the CTA, route and flight altitude for the aircraft not equipped with SSR transponders depending on the air situation in the CTA.

 

Low visibility procedures (LVP)

Initiation of Low Visibility Procedures

Low visibility procedures shall be initiated by the phrase “Low Visibility Procedures in Progress” transmitted on ATIS or via the channels of communication with ATS unit.

Low visibility procedures are applied when the RVR is less than 550 m and/or the ceiling (vertical visibility) is less than 60 m as well as by the Flight Control Officer instruction.

 

Departure in low visibility conditions

When entering the manoeuvring area, flight crew shall be advised about its position in queue for take-off.

Unless otherwise instructed, flight crew is prohibited to hold at the position located closer to the runway than the runway-holding position limit that is the limit of ILS critical area.

 

Landing in low visibility conditions according to ICAO CAT II, IIIA

For execution of instrument approach procedure:

  • RWY 10L, 28R are equipped for ICAO CAT II, IIIA operations;
  • RWY 10R is equipped for ICAO CAT II operations. Flight crews are guaranteed that LOC and GP signals are fully protected from interference when aircraft is on the final approach segment from the moment of announcement of LVP implementation till the moment of LVP cancellation. ATS units are responsible for notifying flight crews about impossibility to adhere to these provisions.

Flight crews of the arriving aircraft must report execution of landing and RWY vacation, including vacation of RWY after crossing it during taxiing.

 

Taxi routes for RWY 10L/28R for ICAO CAT IIIA operations
