1 Airport regulations

2 Taxiing to and from stands

For all type of aircraft is prohibited to use minimum turn radius on RWY, TWY and apron.

On RWY 07/25 180 degree turn for aircraft with a wingspan 36 M and over on turn pad only.

A stand number of arriving aircraft will be allocated by the TWR. Assistance from the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle should be requested via the TWR.

Assistance from the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle should be available:

• when visibility is less then 400 M;
• while taxiing from RWY 07/25 to aircraft stand if wind speed is more than 29 KT (15 M/SEC);
• by pilot request.

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.

Engine start–up and taxiing shall be carried out by the pilot–in–command only after receiving 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.

While taxiing, the pilot–in–command shall be observing the area in front of him and take measures to avoid collisions with aircraft, motor vehicles and other obstacles. The pilot-in-command may not enter runway without clearance from the appropriate tower controller.

Taxiing from the holding position to the line–up and take–off shall be performed only after obtaining clearance from the tower controller.

The pilot–in–command shall take off within one minute after receiving the clearance from the ATC unit. If a take-off has not been carried out within the above mentioned time interval, the pilot–in–command shall request a new clearance.

3 Parking area for small aircraft (General aviation)

General aviation aircraft shall be directed by marshallers to the parking.

4 Parking area for helicopters

Helicopters shall always be directed to the stand by a marshaller.

5 Apron – taxiing during winter conditions

Generally, apron, TWY, and RWY are not snow-covered during winter.

6 Taxiing – limitations

Taxiing speed limit on TWY A and TWY B is 25 KM/HR.

7 School and training flights – technical test flights – use of runway

Educational and training flights can be made only after clearance from the TWR.

8 Helicopter traffic – limitation

Take-off and landing for all types of civil helicopters shall be carried out from/to RWY 07/25 only.

9 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.

Intense activity of swallow flocks takes place daily from 08:00 to 11:00 (local time) (during summer season from June to September) when birds fly from resting area (Airport Buildings) across the approach of RWY 07 to their feeding area, Aerodrome. Only small swallows are active, which doesn't effect flight safety if strikes to aircraft. 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.

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 07/25.

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.
