6.3.4.2 RWY28

Climb on runway track 284° MAG to 2500ft AMSL direct IMOMA and hold. Leave the holding fix direct to ULIXU and hold. Leave the holding fix and execute the instrument approach procedure again.

7 Special VFR

Special VFR flights are only authorized subject to the approval of the unit providing approach control service to enter the control zone for the purpose of landing or to take off and depart directly from the control zone provided that:

the ground visibility is not less 1500 m;
separation shall be effected between all IFR flights and special VFR flights;
separation shall be effective between special VFR flights.

Note : Special VFR Flights are not allowed between Sunset or Sunrise. (See table Times of sunrise and sunset for Curaçao at sea level - Gen 2.7-2 and 3)

TNCB AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1 Bird concentrations in the vicinity of the airport

As far as practicable, Aerodrome Control will inform pilots of any 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.

Activity of flocks of birds takes place daily in and around the approach area.

Pilots are advised to proceed with caution and where the design limitations of aircraft permit, to operate landing lights in flight, within the terminal area and during take-off, approach-to-land and climb and descent procedures.

Proper execution of the vegetation control activities to eliminate, control or reduce environmental factors that attract birds and wildlife to the airfield environment are executed.

2 Bird or wildlife strike or irregularities

Aircraft collisions with birds (commonly known as bird strikes) or other types of wildlife could result in damage to the aircraft including engine and/or control surface damage. This could lead to degradations in aircraft performance and/or control. Depending on the severity of the situation, the Pilot in Command (PIC) may opt to perform an aborted take-off or request to return to the aerodrome. This occurrence is handled as an emergency.

If an aircraft collides with wildlife while it is over or on a runway, that runway shall be inspected as soon as possible to assess the condition of the runway and remove FOD as necessary. This may cause a temporary closure of the runway; however an emergency aircraft, which require immediate landing, will be accommodated.

3 Mobile obstacles in approach area runway 10 / take-off area 28

The passage of cruise ships is controlled in cooperation with airport authorities and harbourmaster. Sailing ships with tall masts that appear to be a hazard to safe operations should be reported to ATC on the TWR frequency of 118.70 MHz.
