T2 - EKRN / Rønne

Overview

roenne.JPG

Rønne/Bornholms Lufthavn is the only procedural tower in Denmark.
The airport is serving around 200.000 passengers yearly on its routes. The primary operator DAT, serves the weekly/daily routes to EKCH, EKYT & EKBI.

Procedural Tower

As Rønne is a Procedural tower, means that they serve as an "normal" controlled airport, however without their own radar. They therefore rely solely on aircraft information and data from the Swedish radars.

As they do not have their own radar, there is not any APP. The entire airspace is covered by the TWR. All arrivals and departures therefore have to either follow standard arrival or visual. No radar vector can be provided

Airspace

The entire airspace is Class D. First sector from GND-1500' and second from 1500 - 3500 ft.

Procedures

Remember EKRN does NOT have an ATIS, hence all A/C must be offered the latest MET-Report, including RWY in use and TL for inbounds!

Inbounds

All inbounds are handed over from Sweden at 4000 ft. (On ESMM QNH) DCT ROE VOR (Or otherwise coordinated)

TWR may request any aircraft DCT to any WP on the arrival. ODMEI, FAU & ULRED is some of the best/most usedused.

When an aircraft is indbound FAU, they will after the WP turn "downwind/base". Be noted the turning curve is different based of aircraft type. After the "Teardrop turn" they will establish on ILS.

To avoid the teardrop from an annoying angle, they may be cleared DCT ULRED for a straight in ILS

Departures

All IFR departures must be coordinated with Sweden, and they must be the ones approving and issuing the Clearance.

Initial climb is always Maximum 3000 ft. and handed directly over to ESMM_APP

All departures are Omnidirectional.
RWY 11 - Climb straight to 700 ft. then turn
RWY 29 - Climb on track 274 to 700/1000 ft. then turn

Phraseology

Exactly the same as a normal TWR.
Only to remember an aircraft can NOT be identified.
For clearance, remember to include: "Sweden clears you..."

For a teardrop approach, following is used: "C/S, via FAU cleared full ILS-Z approach RWY29. Report final"
For a straight in approach: "C/S, via ULRED cleared straight in approach ILS-Z. Report final"
