1. Airport regulation |
|
1.1 Standard conditions applicable to the landing, parking or storage of aircraft on aerodromes. |
|
Unless otherwise agreed upon between the owner holder, or pilot in command of an aircraft and the relevant authority, all fees and charges shall be paid for prior to departure. Non-compliance may result in prohibition for take-off.; Parking, storage, testing and repair of aircraft shall be done at the location indicated by the Airport Director.; The Airport Director may instruct the owner, holder or pilot in command to relocate a parked Aircraft when he considers this necessary for the safety of efficiency.; Refueling with passenger onboard may occur provided that a fire truck is stand-by at The aircraft and the exit doors of the aircraft are open and stairs have been properly located. ; A disable aircraft as result of an accident may be removed after permission to do so has Been issued by the designated accident investigator. The Airport Director will command the relocation at the expenses of the owner or holder.; Neither the Airport Director nor any servant or agent of the government shall be liable for loss of , or damage to, the aircraft, its parts or accessories, or any property contained inthe aircraft, how so ever such loss or damage may arise, occurring while the aircraft is on the aerodrome under the control of the Airport Director or is in the course of landing or taking-off at the aerodrome, or being removed or dealt with elsewhere for the purpose of paragraph 1.2 of these conditions. |
|
If a landing is made elsewhere than at an international airport, the pilot in command shall report the landing as soon as practicable to the ATS, customs and immigration authorities by the most expeditious means. |
|
The pilot in command shall be responsible for ensuring that: a) If clearance has not been granted to the aircraft at the previous landing, contact between other persons on the one hand and the passenger and crew on the other is avoided. b) The cargo, baggage and mail are not removed from the aircraft. |
|
The ground of each aerodrome are divided into two zones. a) A public zone comprising the part of the aerodrome open to the public; b) A restricted zone comprising the rest of the aerodrome. Access to the restricted zone is authorized only under conditions prescribed by the special rules governing the aerodrome. The customs, police and health inspection offices and the premises assigned to transit traffic are normally accessible only to passenger, to staff of the public authorities and airlines and to authorized persons in pursuit or an official card of admittance. Drivers of vehicles, of whatever type, driving within the confines of the aerodrome, must respect the direction of the traffic, the traffic sign and the posted speed limits and generally comply with the provisions of the highway code and with instructions given by the competent authorities. |
|
Care and protection of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and goods for which the aerodrome facilities are used not the responsibility of the State or any concessionaire, who cannot be held responsible for loss or damage which is not incurred through action by them or their agents. |
|
The Apron Management Unit (AMU) is responsible for all movement on the North and South apron at airport. This control includes aircraft, vehicles and persons. The area of responsibility for aircraft starts when they enter the apron and ends when they leave the apron. Aircraft shall comply with routes to and from the stands as depicted on page AD 2 TNCA-23. Whenever for operational reason the situation became such that deviation from the taxi routes Will have to be made by aircraft’s, this will be given timely to the pilot by Apron Management Unit BEATRIX APRON on freq. 121.6 MHz The procedures for the coordination and transfer of aircraft between Beatrix Tower And Beatrix Apron, in order to have a safe and orderly flow of traffic, were establish, where so Require, in conformity with those procedure prescribed by ICAO in Annex 14, Par. 9.6, Doc 9137 chapter 10, DOC 9476 chapter 8. |
|
After landing and leaving the taxiways, arriving aircraft shall immediately establish radio contactWith Beatrix Apron on freq. 121.6 MHz and adhere to the instruction given. The pilot shall approach the nose-in parking position by means of visual docking guidance system or, in case of failure, by means of Marshall’s instructions. For parking of aircraft at the stands no. 1 to 13 is performed either according to the Marshall’s instruction given or by means of visual docking guidance system, i.e. AGNIS as provided. Parking of aircraft at stands not provided with visual docking guidance system, aircraft shall leave the stands only by means of push-back using towing tractors of the Airport Authority. Reverse thrust or variable pitch propellers shall not be used on the entire apron area and at all parking position both on the south and north apron. |
|
Aircraft will request start-up clearance with Beatrix Apron 10 minutes prior to estimate off-block time. After receiving start-up clearance from Beatrix Tower, Beatrix Apron shall relay the start-up clearance to the pilot and wait for push-back to proceed. If for any reason Beatrix Apron needs to delay the aircraft, this will be relayed to Beatrix Tower as soon as possible. After push-back is completed and the aircraft is ready to taxi, this will be transferred to Beatrix Tower for taxi clearance. |
|
2.4 Cummunication failure procedures In the event of complete radio communication failure on frequency 121.6 MHz of Beatrix Apron, all aircraft shall remain on Beatrix Tower frequency. |
|
Use of the Docking Guidance System is herby discontinued at all nose-in stands. The use of marsheller is mandatory |
|
4.1 Aircraft Guidance on the Apron Area Aircraft guidance on the apron (ramp) and the aircraft stand (parking position) is subject ATS and will be performed by means of an aeronautical station using the call sign “ Beatrix Apron “ on frequency 121.6 MHz if required, Marshall’s are available for aircraft guidance on the ramp and into final parking position. |
|
4.2 Areas of Responsibility of the Apron Management Unit (AMU) This includes those areas necessary for landing and unloading of aircraft and areas for taxiing into and out of the parking position, as well as on the aprons both north and south side of the runway. The responsibility of the AMU does not include the aircraft control which is executed by the responsible ATC station (Beatrix Apron). The AMU responsibility includes the obstacles and obstruction free aircraft maneuvering area at the ramp and aircraft stand as well as the preventive maintenance and repair if necessary of the AGNIS/PAPA system, apron marking, etc. Engine test, runs, verification runs and run-ups as well as extensive maintenance work on aircraft at the parking position are not permitted. In justified cases the ATC may grant exceptions after prior permission from the AMU has been obtained. Aircraft emergency repair work shall not be commended prior obtaining permission from the ATC and AMU. |
|
All subsonic aircraft certified, in accordance with Chapter 2 of ICAO Annex 16 Vol. I, departing RWY 11 at Reina Beatrix International Airport, shall maintain runway heading for atleast 6 DME from BEA/VOR or climb to 2500 ft. on runway heading, whichever comes first, before turning left or right on course. Pilots, when making a left turn out while setting course, shall maintain special attention and exercise extreme caution to avoid entering the Restricted Area 4, “VADER PIET” TNR-4, when active. |
|
All departing IFR flights are required to request start-up clearance with Beatrix Apron on freq. 121.6 MHz, 10 minutes prior to estimated off-block time (EOBT), unless otherwise instructed. Push-back shall commence within 10 minutes after start-up clearance was issued. If unable to comply, delays may be expected due to possible changes in traffic situation within Curaçao FIR |
|
IFR flights departing from Aeropuerto International Reina Beatrix will receive an ATC en- routes clearance from Beatrix Tower while taxing out.
