Airport Charts

Radar coverage

Radar coverage around Kiruna has previously been poor and the airspace below FL100 has therefore only been under procedural control.

Kiruna airport is using something called WAM (Wide Area Multilateration) which means that we can now see you on our radar screen. Vectoring is allowed down to 5500ft but we will be able to see you all the way down.

Even though we are able to give vectors, expect to fly the full procedure via KRA or OP, or RNP approach via NQxxx or STAR.

With the above in mind, please make sure that you as a pilot are familiar to join and fly approaches without vectoring by the controller all the way down to the ILS.

  SID Assignment

  Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft cleared via SID shall climb to 5000 ft.

  Propeller departures

  Between 07 and 22 local time, propeller aircraft may be cleared via propeller SIDs followed by radar vectoring with initial climb clearance varying between 4000 and 5000 ft.runways.

  Pushback

  Pushback is normal procedure for aircraft Code B and larger.

  Generally, a push-back direction is included in the clearance, facing north or south.

  Use of transponder

  The assigned transponder code shall be selected and the transponder activated at the request for push-back. After landing, the transponder shall remain activated until reaching the parking stand and be switched to standby immediately after parking.

  Taxi

  Landing aircrafts shall, after landing, completely vacate the runway and hold position on TWY Y until taxi clearance is obtained.

  Overview of standard taxi procedures

  

  Refer to airport charts (Aerodrome ground movement chart/DEPARTURE or ARRIVAL) for actual procedures.

  Taxi instructions according to the chart above are to be expected, deviations from this is at the controllers discretion.

  • TWY C not to be used for exit RWY 03 unless approved by ATC
  • TWY D not to be used for exit RWY 03 unless approved by ATC.
  • TWY E not to be used for exit RWY 21 unless approved by ATC.

  Take-off and climb

  Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft cleared via SID shall climb to 5000 ft.

  Contact Göteborg Control when instructed by TWR.

  On initial contact with Göteborg Control report altitude to verify transponder Mode C readout.

  If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform Göteborg Control on initial contact stating “unable RNAV SID.”

  RNAV STAR

  Advise if unable to follow RNAV STAR. Radar vectoring will be provided.

  Observe the maximum flight levels when arriving via LOBBI/MAKUR.

  When cleared to a lower level or cleared for approach while on a STAR, minimum levels as published in the STAR must still be followed.

  RNP approaches

  Curved (RNP-AR) and straight RNP approaches are available on request.

  Speed restrictions

  Maximum speed in Göteborg TMA below FL100 is 250 knots, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

  Aircraft shall maintain minimum 160 knots until OM or 4 NM final, advise ATC if unable.
