IDENT AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
|
1. Airport regulation
|
|
At the Princess Juliana Int'l Airport, a number of local regulations apply. These regulations are collected in the Aerodrome Manual which is available at ALL Administrative and Operational offices.
|
|
Marshalling services will be provided where self-help guidance systems do not exist or are unserviceable and where guidance to aircraft parking is required to avoid a safety hazard or to make the most efficient use of available parking space. Assistance can be requested and further information about the regulations can be obtained from the TWR or PJIAE Operations Department
|
|
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 TWR or PJIAE OPS.
|
|
"Local Regulations" may be requested, in writing, from:
|
|
Director Operations Division, Princess Juliana Airport
P.O.Box 2027
Simpson Bay
St. Maarten
|
|
2. Taxiing to and from stands
|
|
Arriving aircraft will be allocated a stand number by the TWR. General aviation aircraft
will follow instructions from the Juliana Tower to the general aviation parking area.
|
|
Departing IFR flights shall contact the TWR to obtain startup clearance and ATC clearance before commencing taxiing. Request for ATC clearance may take place at the earliest 10 minutes prior to engine start-up.
|
|
Frequency 118.70 MHz is to be used in the period 0700 - 2100LT (1100-0100) and 128.95MHz when Tower and Approach is De-combined.
|
TNCM AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
|
For noise abatement the following procedures are in place:
|
|
No procedures in place
|
TNCM AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES
|
General
|
|
All departing traffic from TNCM shall visually ensure clearance from terrain and obstacles until passing 2600 FT AMSL. Right turn out RWY 10 is mandatory. Light aircraft excluding turbojet and jet aircraft may request a left turn out RWY 10 subject to ATC approval between sunrise and sunset.
Departing traffic RWY 28 shall make left turns out unless a right turn is requested and approved by ATC.
|
|
Procedures for IFR flights within Juliana TMA/CTR
|
|
Departing traffic RWY 10
All IFR jet departures shall execute MODOR TWO SID.
All IFR turboprop and Propeller aircraft shall execute BOPAT TWO SID.
Non RNAV equipped jet traffic shall turn to heading 180 degrees until 10 DME PJM VOR then turn right to intercept assigned route.
Non RNAV equipped turboprop or propeller aircraft shall turn to heading 230 degrees until 10 DME PJM VOR then turn right to intercept the assigned route.
Non RNAV departing aircraft cleared on L461 or A516 Northeast bound shall turn to heading 180 until 10 DME PJM VOR then turn left to intercept the cleared route.
|
|
Departing traffic RWY 28
All departing IFR traffic shall intercept the cleared route as soon as practical and before within 10 DME from PJM VOR DME unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
|
|
Radar procedures within Juliana TMA/CTR
|
|
Radar vectoring and sequencing
|
|
RWY 10
Normally, aircraft will be vectored and sequenced to the appropriate final approach track for VOR Z RWY 10 so as to ensure an expeditious flow of traffic. Radar vectors, flight levels/ altitudes and speed restrictions will be issued, as required, for spacing and separating the aircraft so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking into account aircraft characteristics. Any additional published instrument approach is subject to pilot requests.
|
|
Radar vectoring charts are not published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes ensure that adequate terrain clearance exists at all times until the point where the pilot will resume navigation on final approach or executes a visual approach.
|
|
RWY 28
All IFR aircraft will be vectored for a Visual Approach RWY 28.
|
|
Surveillance radar approaches
|
|
None
|
|
Precision radar approach

|
Communication failure
|

In the event of communication failure, the pilot shall act in accordance with the communication failure procedures in ICAO Doc 4444.
|
|
Procedures for VFR flights within Juliana TMA
|
|
Provided traffic conditions so permit, ATC clearance for VFR flights will be given under the conditions described below:
|
|
a) A flight plan requesting ATC clearance, containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight, shall be submitted.
|
|
b) ATC clearance shall be obtained immediately before the aircraft enters the area concerned.
|
|
c) Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2.
|
|
d) Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.
|
|
e) The flight shall be conducted with vertical visual reference to the ground unless the flight can be conducted in accordance with the Instrument Flight Rules.
|
|
f) Two-way radio communication shall be maintained on the frequency prescribed. Information about the appropriate frequency can be obtained from AIP Information.
|
|
g) The pilot-in-command shall be the holder of an International VHF License.
|
|
h) The aircraft shall be equipped with SSR transponder with 4 096 Codes in Mode A/3.
Flights performed in connection with parachute jumps shall, in addition, be equipped with
Mode C with automatic transmission of pressure altitude information (cf. ICAO Annex 10,
Volume I). Exemption from this requirement may be granted by Juliana APP Control.
|
|
Note.- ATC clearance is intended only to provide separation between IFR and VFR flights.
|
|
