UGTB AD 2.20 Local aerodrometraffic regulations

1 Airport regulations

At TBILISI/Tbilisi airport a number of local regulations apply.

At Aircraft stands aircraft major repairs (base maintenance) are prohibited.

Due to transverse slop greater than 1% complete fuelling of aircraft are restricted at the following stands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5C, 6, 7, 7C, 8, 9, 9D, 10, 10D, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15C, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 25D.

Other regulations are collected in the manual which is available at the AIS Briefing Office.

2 Taxiing to and from stands

Arriving aircraft will be allocated a stand number by the TWR.

Ground services can be requested from TBILISI APRON on FREQ 131.700 MHZ.

Assistance from the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle can be:

requested via the TWR;
available when visibility is less then 400 M;
available during night time for C, D and E categories aircraft.

Isolated aircraft stand is located on the TWY E and has the following coordinates: 413947.65N 0445747.13E.

Aircraft engine testing area is located on the TWY E and has the following coordinates: 413947.65N 0445747.13E. Movement to be performed by towing only.

For apron 4 assistance from the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle is required for all categories aircraft.

Departing IFR and VFR flights shall contact TWR to obtain ATC clearance before commencing taxiing. Request for ATC clearance may take place at earliest 10 minutes prior to engine start–up.

After pre–flight preparation, decision to take–off and receiving of ATC clearance for the flight, the pilot–in–command of an aircraft makes a decision whether or not to take off from the aerodrome, fly along the airway and land at the destination aerodrome, and is entirely responsible for the decision taken.

Engine start–up and taxiing shall be carried out by the pilot–in–command only after clearance from the appropriate ATC unit. Taxiing on the aerodrome maneuvering area shall be conducted in accordance with taxi procedures or as directed by the ATC unit. The pilot–in–command is responsible for meeting the norms established for taxiing with this type of aircraft.

6 Removal of disabled aircraft from runway

When an aircraft is wrecked on a runway, it is the duty of the owner or user of such aircraft to have it removed as soon as possible. If a wrecked aircraft is not removed from the runway as quickly as possible by the owner or user, the aircraft will be removed by the aerodrome authority at the owner's or user's expense.

UGTB AD 2.22 Flight procedures

1 Procedures for IFR flights within Tbilisi TMA

ATS surveillance service is provided within Tbilisi TMA by Tbilisi approach (call sign "Tbilisi approach") on frequency 134.6 MHZ (or 127.2).

A radar separation minimum of 5 NM is applied between all identified aircraft within Tbilisi TMA.

All aircraft shall follow speed limit max IAS 250 KT within Tbilisi TMA bellow FL 110, unless a different speed is instructed by ATC. If unable to comply, advice ATC immediately.

Arrival and departure routes SID/STARs are established for RWY 31L/13R.

IFR flights shall maintain climb gradient 5.4 % or greater up to FL 90 when cleared to continue RWY heading after departure from RWY 31L.

Clearance for visual approach will be issued only after the pilot has reported the aerodrome insight.

Radar vectoring is not conducted for ILS/DME and VOR/DME approach for RWY13R (STARs only).

Visual departures are not allowed.

Surveillance radar approaches and precision radar approaches are not conducted.

Aircraft radar vectoring is provided in accordance with the ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude Chart AD 2.UGTB-ATCSMAC.

ATIS service is available on frequency 132.8 MHZ.

2 Procedures for VFR flights within Tbilisi TMA

Two-way radio communication shall be maintained with the Tbilisi Approach on the FRQ 134.600 MHZ (or 127.2).

Transfer of VFR flights from/to Tbilisi TMA –Tbilisi tower is conducted when passing altitude 3500 FT, over established entry/exit points shown in the Visual Approach Chart AD2.UGTB-VAC unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

3 Procedures for VFR flights within Tbilisi CTR

Aircraft shall establish two-way radio communication with Tbilisi tower before conducting flights in Tbilisi CTR.

VFR flights that intend to enter Tbilisi CTR from uncontrolled airspace shall establish communication with Tbilisi tower at least 5 minutes before entry to obtain clearance.

VFR flights within Tbilisi CTR shall be conducted at or below 3500 FT AMSL unless otherwise cleared by the TWR unit.

VFR flights shall be conducted with visual reference to the ground.

VFR flights shall enter/exit Tbilisi CTR via the entry/exit points shown on the Visual Approach Chart AD 2.UGTB-VAC, unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

Aircraft entering/exiting Tbilisi CTR via points RINGI and URBAN must be at altitude 3500 FT or below.

Aircraft entering/exiting Tbilisi CTR via point GIGOS must be at altitude 3000 FT or below.

Aircraft entering/exiting Tbilisi CTR via point CHIVA must be at altitude 3500 FT or below, unless the aircraft is cleared for CHIVA–R–J route, in which case the altitude over CHIVA must be 2700 FT AMSL or below. The arrival and departure route CHIVA–R–J is established as depicted on the Visual Approach Chart with altitude constraints as follows: CHIVA–R max. 2700 FT AMSL, R–J max. 3700 FT AMSL. The CHIVA–R–J route is only used during daytime and in VMC conditions.

If the traffic situation requires it or the active runway is blocked, aircraft conducting VFR flights may be directed to the visual holding areas established at points N, S and GIGOS.

All VFR reporting points of Tbilisi CTR are described in the following table:

Name	Geographical coordinates	Visual reference
CHIVA	414923N 0445001E	Over the motorway bridge on the Tbilisi bypass road; north-west of Gldani Didi Lake

UGTB AD 2.23 Additional information

Intense activity of raven flocks takes place daily from 08:00 to 10:00 (local time) when birds fly from resting area (town) across the approach of RWY 31L to their feeding area, NW of the airport. Their flight height varies from 100 FT (30 M) to 165 FT (50 M) AGL. From 16:00 to 19:00 (local time) the same activity as described above takes place in reverse when the birds return to their resting area.

Because of the permanent character of the bird activity in the vicinity of the airport, pilots are informed of the fact and the estimated heights (AGL), continually by ATIS.

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

Dispersal activities include occasional playing back of distressed calls from high fidelity weather-resistant speakers, high shooting sound produced of liquid gas cannons and the visual repellents (hunter dummies) allocated near the RWY 13R/31L. Also modifications of the airport environment are under way to reduce, if not eliminate, the wildlife hazard. No landfills in the vicinity and no open waste-bins on the aerodrome. Ground and grass cover is treated properly. No farming activity in the vicinity.
