1 Procedures for IFR flights within Tbilisi TMA
1.1 General

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

Horizontal separation minimum applicable within Tbilisi TMA is 5 NM.

Tbilisi ATIS information is available on frequency 132.8 MHZ.

1.2 Procedures for arrival flights

Arrival flights shall respect speed limitation of maximum 250 kt IAS below 10 000 ft AMSL unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

Arrival flight capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will normally be cleared to follow appropriate RNAV STAR or will be given direct routings to the waypoints designated as initial approach fix or intermediate fix of the ILS z (or LOC z) instrument approach procedures. Loss of RNAV1 (GNSS) capability shall be immediately reported to ATC and vectoring for final approach should be expected.

Arrival flights not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will normally be vectored for final approach. Alternatively, direct routing to TBS (IAF) may be given, followed by ILS y (or LOC y or VOR) instrument approach procedures. If a flight not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) receives clearance to follow RNAV STAR or to proceed direct to a waypoint associated with ILS z (or LOC z) instrument approach procedures, the clearance shall be rejected and the reason stated: “UNABLE RNAV1 (GNSS)”.

1.3 Procedures for departing flights

Departing flights capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will normally be cleared to follow appropriate RNAV SID or conventional SID in accordance with the filed flight plan. Loss of RNAV1 (GNSS) capability shall be reported to ATC as soon as possible.

If a flight not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) receives clearance to follow RNAV SID, the clearance shall be rejected and the reason stated: “UNABLE RNAV1 (GNSS)”.

When cleared level requires an ACFT to level-off on SID, ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitudes will be respected by controller.

As an alternative to any SID, controller may instruct to “CONTINUE RUNWAY HEADING” or “CLIMB STRAIGHT AHEAD”. In such cases climb gradient of 5.4 % or greater shall be maintained up to 7000 FT for departures from RWY 31L. Climb gradient of 3.9 % or greater shall be maintained up to 4500 FT for departure from RWY 13R.

Visual departures are not implemented.

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).

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.
