TNCS AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

1. Airport regulations

At Juancho Yrausquin Airport, assistance can be obtained from the FISO on duty.

When a local regulation is of importance for the safe operation of aircraft on the apron, the information will be given to each aircraft by the FISO.

The FISO will provide weather and traffic information when pilots call for landing or taxiing.

The parking area for helicopters consists of one marked heli pad and is located ESE on the ramp.

2. Helicopter traffic -- limitation

Helicopter traffic can show up at any time for medical or charter reasons; traffic in the area will be informed of ANY traffic by the FISO on duty.

Any request for approval of traffic shall contain the following information:

a) Owner/operator

b) Type of helicopter, registration/call sign

c) Date, arrival time/departure time, destination(s).

Furthermore, other details relevant to the evaluation of the request shall be given as required.

TNCS AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

NIL

TNCS AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1. GENERAL

The flight procedures in AD 2.22 TNCS are only allowed after special authorization by CAA Netherlands.

All General Aviation and non-scheduled airlines intending to operate flights within Yrausquin ATZ shall file a flight Plan in accordance with ICAO standards.

Unless special permission has been obtained from Saba Information, flights within Yrausquin ATZ shall be in accordance with VFR.

2. DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

2.1 Introduction

Only aerodrome flight information service and alerting service (in accordance with the provisions of ICAO Annex 11, Chapter 5) will be provided by Saba Information, although all actions have been taken by the ATC units concerned to guarantee separation from other flights after take-off, before the flight receives a take-off permission from Saba Information.

Air traffic control service will be provided as soon as the aircraft enters controlled airspace.

2.2 Start-up and taxi permission

Pilots of aircraft intending to make an IFR or VFR flight must have obtained permission for start-up from Saba Information before starting their engines. A request for start-up shall be made to Saba Information after all preparations for departure have been made and shall include:

· aircraft identification;

· position;

· flight rules;

· destination;

· start-up request.

2.3 Flights outside Yrausquin ATZ

2.3.1 General

After co-ordination with Juliana APP permission for start-up will either be issued immediately or at a specified time.

The pilot shall be able to comply with start-up and taxi permission, since ATC planning of outbound traffic (involving en route clearance and co-ordination with adjacent ACCs) is based on the start-up time. Any delay in start-up or taxiing shall be immediately reported to Saba Information.

In case of indefinite delay the estimated duration of the delay will be given.

2.3.2 En route clearance

The en route clearance will be issued by Juliana APP to Saba Information and will be relayed by Saba Information to departing aircraft as soon as possible after taxi permission has been given. An en route clearance contains:

a. Clearance limit: airport of destination;

b. SSR code;

c. ATC unit and COM channel on which the aircraft shall report as soon as possible after take-off.

d. Departure instructions if applicable.

2.3.3 Standard instrument departures

Not defined

2.3.4 ATC unit and COM channel after take-off

Aircraft shall contact Juliana APP as soon as possible after take-off and before encountering IMC, in order to obtain an IFR clearance before entering controlled airspace.

2.3.5 Communication failure

If radio communication is not established the aircraft shall return to the aerodrome of departure maintaining VMC and report its arrival as soon as possible to Saba Information.

3. INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURES

3.1 Introduction

The arrival, instrument approach and holding procedures are based on ICAO Document 8168- (PANS-OPS).

During initial and intermediate approach to Saba, radar services may be provided by Juliana APP.

Transfer of communication to Saba Information generally takes place before leaving controlled airspace, within the range of Saba Information.

Air traffic control service will generally be terminated when leaving controlled airspace.

Only aerodrome flight information service and alerting service (in accordance with the provisions of Annex 11, Chapter 5) will be provided by Saba Information, although all actions have been taken by the ATC units concerned to guarantee separation from other flights during the instrument approach procedure (incl. missed approach) before the flight is transferred to Saba Information and leaves controlled airspace.

3.2 Initial approach

3.2.1 Approach instructions

Approach instructions will be issued by Juliana APP, containing:

a. Clearance limit, route and level.

b. Runway in use.

c. QNH.

d. Transition level.

e. MET information.

f. Runway condition.

3.2.2 Transfer to Saba Information

Generally during the intermediate approach Juliana APP will issue a clearance to carry out an instrument approach procedure. Transfer of communication to Saba Information will normally take place before reaching the IAF.

3.3 Final approach procedure

The instrument approach to RWY12 is based on RNAV (GNSS), as depicted on the relevant instrument approach chart AD 2 TNCS-IAC-15.

3.4 Missed approach procedure (with or without communication failure)

See relevant approach chart AD 2.TNCS-IAC-17. Inform ATC as soon as possible on the current channel in case the missed approach procedure has to be executed.

3.5 Communication failure

Juliana APP shall instruct aircraft en-route to relay flight details to Saba Information as soon as practicable.

TNCS AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Bird concentrations in the vicinity of the airport

Intense activity of flocks of noddy, long-tailed tropicbirds and catbirds takes place daily from May until Late August from threshold of RWY 12 on the approach above Green Island.

As far as practicable, AFIS will inform pilots of this bird activity and the estimated heights AGL. Their presence shall also be advised by NOTAM.

During the above periods pilots of aircraft are advised, where the design limitations of aircraft installations permit, to operate landing lights in flight, within the terminal area and during take-off, approach-to-land and climb and descent procedures.
