RIU 04R/04L - TWR + GND

EKCH_A_TWR

  • Familiarize yourself with Missed Approach procedure for the correct RWY!
  • If getting RED conflicts, but it is clear the preceding will vacate before trailing touches down you are OK to continue. Issue TFC information with landing clearance 

Standard missed approach procedure MUST be given ALWAYS unless coordinated otherwise.

Missed approach 04L
Left heading 347, climb 3000’
Handover to EKCH_W_APP 119.805 

Missed approach should be announced as:
“Follow Standard Missed Approach procedure, Climb 3000” 
Or if the pilot is struggling:
"GO AROUND! Left turn NOW heading 347 climb 3000 ft." 

You should issue a Go- Around IF

  • Separation is LESS than 2NM (Yellow Conflict sticker) while both aircraft are still on the ILS
  • Aircraft will touch down before the preceding has vacated.

Only give Go Around if needed. Every go around is a big strain on APP/F_APP.

Note that

  • You can handover to EKCH_A_GND directly for traffic via A and F if coordinated and agreed to by EKCH_C_TWR
  • You must handover before reaching de-icing platform for traffic to EKCH_C_TWR

If airplanes vacate E3/E2 by mistake, either:

  • Hand over to EKCH_D_TWR or taxi down B after coordination, only if traffic allows
  • Turn via B to E3/E2 and cross the arrival runway again if taxiing via B is not an option.

EKCH_D_TWR

  • See Wake Turbulence and Route separation below
  • Check scenarios for PROP before JET
  • Preceding MUST be past the Threshold before the next DEP CLR is given

EKCH_C_TWR

ONLY use standard taxi routes unless coordinated with EKCH_A_GND

  • K2+K3 are STANDARD for inbounds to A4-A34 (Not including A11-A15).
    • DO NOT ask before using
    • DO NOT accept wrong taxiways. Vacating B5 or missing C should still taxi up the runway for K3/K2 if needed. DO NOT overcrowd EKCH_A_GND

Coordinate as needed and desired with the two towers

As aircraft crosses Runway 30, they should as good as you can be separated into South vs. North departures

Assign a holding point for each aircraft to make TWR’s task easier.

  • All WTC/H must use B1
  • a WTC/M and smaller may use B3 
  • B4 only to be used upon pilot approval
  • Use holding points to sequence traffic in north/south configuration.
  • Handover to EKCH_D_TWR latest passing B4

 

  1. You control All regional airports (Except EKOD & EKSB)
  2. You are the coordinator with the overview and the guy with the big picture. Help!
  3. Review HOLDING CONTIGENCY. Be ready to help other ACCs!

EKDK_D_CTR

  • Do not send aeroplanes into APP airspace on anything other than the cleared STAR with the required separation (specified below) unless specifically coordinated with EKCH_W_APP
  • You need to ensure a Minimum of 15nm between arrivals on each STAR.
    • If you cannot do this, you must start issuing holds.
  • APP may ask you for other kinds of separation
  • Keep an eye on ERNOV arrivals to ensure W_APP is not getting overloaded.
  • 15nm/STAR=5nm average (3STARs) and W_APP needs to deliver with 7-10nm, so be ready to increase to 20nm or even 30nm between STARs if ERNOV has heavy inbound

EKCH_W_APP

Adhere to RNAV STARs and rules for handing over to EKCH_F_APP, and read the following carefully

  • Cleared no more than within 45 degrees of the Vector point
  • If on an old AIRAC vector downwind on or outside of the Vector fix route
  • Speed 200-230, or as agreed with F_APP
  • Minimum average 7 - 10nm. If it starts getting difficult you must alert EKDK & ESMM
  • If you need breathing room, ask EKDK to adjust flow to a minimum of 20nm between arrivals
  • You get aircraft with an average minimum of 15nm between from ACC

You should NOT talk to EKCH_F_APP. He is the Silent partner.

Talk to EKCH_O_APP and coordinate spacing as well as possible.

Don’t be silent towards EKCH_O_APP. Make sure airplanes come in a nice string with the following criteria fulfilled. 


Remember to:

  • When transferring to EKCH_F_APP make sure they have 4000 and the correct speed as agreed upon
  • Transfer by stating “Contact Final approach CALLSIGN ONLY 120.205”
  • Transfer ideally before passing Abeam Airfield
  • Keep the ACCs honest regarding minimum spacing

Handover to Final Approach

The handover to the Final approach is a sensitive subject and requires utmost care and coordination from either approach. The following procedures must be met when high-traffic loads are present:

Aircraft must be unless otherwise specifically requested by EKCH_F_APP via RTI:

  • Cleared no later than the last point before the vector begins
  • On average 7 - 10nm separated from other traffic, unless otherwise coordinated.
  • If cleared to the last point before the vector begins the track MUST be within 45˚ of the vector to be followed, except for ERNOV2C arrivals
  • If traffic cannot be within 45˚ of the vector, traffic must either be cleared to the waypoint before, or coordinated with F_APP
  • SPD & ALT must correspond to the table below
RWYAltitudeInboundSpeed
22L/22R4000 MSL
ABEGI / ADOVI or earlier200 - 230 knt.
04L/04RERPUK / DOPEM or earlier

All handovers to Final should be uttered with the condition «Callsign Only» «SAS42E, Contact Final, Callsign only, 120.205» 

EKCH_F_APP may use the TAG and ROF TOPSKY functions to request specific headings and request frequencies for aircraft when desired.

EKCH_O_APP

Adhere to RNAV STARs and rules for handing over to EKCH_F_APP, and read the following carefully

  • You get aircraft with an average minimum of 15nm between from ACC
  • Cleared no more than within 45 degrees of Vector point

EKCH_F_APP

  • You must have a 7 - 10nm minimum average on handover from W/O_APP
    • If you do NOT get that, tell them immediately!! Or you will get buried
  • Consider putting on final before the vector-fix to avoid accidental base turn
  • Standard separation on the final should be between 3-5nm, however, try to maintain a sharp 3 nm.
  • Ensure 3nm or greater before handing it over to TWR
  • If you are NOT able to sequence an aircraft in, turn it back to approach, for sequencing

Speed control within 10nm on the ILS must be EITHER:
180 until 6DME or 160 until 4DME


Dependent parallel operations: Minimum 2nm between arrivals on parallel runways.

Advise aircraft of the aircraft landing on parallel, and remember to transfer to the correct TWR

If the final gets 20nm or more, you need to enforce a complete approach stop! Do everything in your power to avoid this!!

EKCH_R_DEP (22R)

  • Familiarize yourself with Standard taxi routes for INBOUND traffic
  • Familiarize yourself with Missed Approach procedure for the correct RWY!
  • Determine if you are responsible for VFR and/or Cargo Apron
  • If getting RED conflicts, but it is clear the preceding will vacate before trailing touches down you are OK to continue. Issue TFC information with landing clearance 

Standard missed approach procedure MUST be given ALWAYS unless coordinated otherwise.

Missed approach 22L
Left heading 187, climb 3000’
Handover to EKCH_O_APP 118.455 

Missed approach should be announced as:
“Follow Standard Missed Approach procedure, Climb 3000” 
Or if the pilot is struggling:
"GO AROUND! Left turn NOW heading 187 climb 3000 ft." 

You should issue a Go- Around IF

  • Separation is LESS than 2NM (Yellow Conflict sticker) while both aircraft are still on the ILS
  • Aircraft will not be able to pass the threshold before the preceding has vacated.

Only give Go Around if needed. Every go around is a big strain on APP/F_APP


Correlation with EKCH_C_TWR

You should assign a stand for arriving aircraft, and send them via the correct taxiway as shown below.

BE AWARE of this to ease congestion and workload for the next controller

For arrivals via B and to cargo apron to hold short Z, DO NOT hand over to C_TWR. Handover directly to EKCH_A_GND, or keep yourself for cargo apron

EKCH_A_TWR (04L)

  • Familiarize yourself with Standard taxi routes for INBOUND traffic
  • Familiarize yourself with Missed Approach procedure for the correct RWY!
