UGSB AD 2.20 Local aerodrome regulations

1 Airport regulations

At Batumi airport a number of local regulations apply. The 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. General aviation aircraft will have to use the general aviation parking area.

During push back maneuvers engine start-up allowed only on idle power. After completion of push back use minimum break away power to initiate aircraft movement.

Departing IFR and VFR flights shall contact TWR to obtain ATC clearance before commencing taxing. 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 taxing with this type of aircraft.

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

Isolated aircraft stand with the coordinates 413615.71N 0413639.05E is available on the TWY B.

3 Parking area for small aircraft (general aviation)

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

4 Taxiing for helicopters

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

Helicopters with wheeled landing gear shall ground taxi to/from stands 10, 10A, 11, 12, 13.

Helicopters with skid landing gear shall air taxi to/from stands 10, 10A, 11, 12, 13.

Helicopters shall taxi into aircraft stands 10, 10A, 11, 12, 13 under own engine power after "FOLLOW ME" vehicle. From stands 10, 10A, 11, 12, 13 helicopters shall perform 180~~360~~ degrees~~degree~~ turn in a hover due to taxi out.

5 Apron – taxiing during winter conditions

As a rule, apron and RWY are not snow-covered during winter.

The aircraft parking stand 12 is allocated for de-icing treatment of aircraft.

6 Taxiing – limitations

Taxiing is carried out in accordance with general rules (see point 2). Additional information will be given to each aircraft from the TWR.

7 Educational and training flights. Technical test flying. Use of runways

Educational and training flights can be made only after permission from the TWR. Permission will not be given within the following periods: 18.00-08.00 LT and on Saturdays, on Sundays and official holidays. For educational and training flights and such technical test flights necessary for the purpose of ascertaining the airworthiness during flight, use of the RWY system is restricted as follows: RWY 3031 must be used for take-off only and RWY 1213 must be used for landing only.

8 Helicopter flights – limitation

Irregular helicopter flights are allowed only after prior approval from the Batumi Aerodrome Administration.

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.

UGSB AD 2.21 Noise abatement procedures

Not applicable.

UGSB AD 2.22 Flight procedures

1 Runway use

Take-off from RWY12~~RWY13~~ and landing on RWY30~~RWY31~~ is only permitted in daytime~~day time~~ exclusively in accordance with the Visual Flight Rules (VFR) for aeroplanes with MTOW not exceeding 5700 kilograms and for all types of helicopters.

2 Procedures for IFR flights within Batumi TMA

2.1 General

ATS surveillance service within Batumi TMA is provided by Batumi approach unit (call sign "Batumi approach") on frequency 124.425 MHZ.

Horizontal separation minimum applicable within Batumi TMA is 5 NM.

ATIS is not available. All pertinent information is provided by ATC.

2.2 Procedures for arrival flights

Arrival flights shall respect speed limitation of maximum 250 kt IAS below FL100 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.

Arrival flights not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will normally be vectored for final approach. Alternatively, direct routing to LU (IAF) may be given followed by ILS y (or LOC y or NDB) 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 RNAV 1 (GNSS)”.

2.3 Procedures for departing flights

Departing flights capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will normally be cleared to follow appropriate RNAV SID of RWY 30. Loss of RNAV1 (GNSS) capability shall be reported to ATC as soon as possible.

Departing flights not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) will be instructed to “CONTINUE RUNWAY HEADING” (or “CLIMB STRAIGHT AHEAD”) for RWY 30. If a flight not capable of RNAV1 (GNSS) receives clearance to follow RNAV SID, the clearance shall be rejected and the reason stated: “UNABLE RNAV 1 (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 of RWY 30, controller may instruct to “CONTINUE RUNWAY HEADING” or “CLIMB STRAIGHT AHEAD”. In such cases standard climb gradient of 3.3 % or greater shall be maintained.

ATS surveillance service is provided within Batumi TMA by Batumi approach (call sign “Batumi approach”) on frequency 124.425 MHZ.

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

All aircraft shall follow speed limit max IAS 250 KT within Batumi TMA bellow FL110, unless a different speed is instructed by ATC. If unable to comply, advice ATC immediately.

Arrival routes STARs are established for RWY 13 and departure routes SIDs for RWY 31.

Clearance for visual approach on RWY 13 will be issued only after the pilot has reported the aerodrome insight.

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 AD2.UGSB-ATCSMAC.

ATIS service is not available, all pertinent information is provided by ATCO.

3 Procedures for VFR flights within Batumi TMA

Two-way radio communication shall be maintained with the Batumi Approach on the FRQ 124.425 MHZ~~, with Batumi TWR on the FRQ 118.600 MHZ~~.

Transfer of VFR flights between~~from/to~~ Batumi APP and ~~TMA –~~ Batumi TWR~~tower~~ is conducted ~~when passing altitude 1500 FT,~~ over established entry/exit points of CTR as shown in the Visual Approach Chart AD2.UGSB-VAC unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

4 Procedures for VFR flights within Batumi CTR

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

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

VFR flights within Batumi CTR shall be conducted at or below 1500 FT AMSL within CTR1 and at or below 3500 FT within CTR2 unless otherwise cleared by the TWR unit.

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

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

If the traffic situation requires or the active runway is blocked, the aircraft conducting VFR flight may be directed to the holding area established at point ABUKO (Max. 1000 FT AMSL) or instructed to stay outside CTR.

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

Name	Geographical coordinates	Visual reference
VERTE	414224N 0414223E	North of Mtsvane Kontskhi
QOZON	413335N 0414117E	Over the right bank of Chorokhi river west of Erge village
DOQQA	413430N 0413356E	Over coastline, west of Gonio Castle
ABUKO	413955N 0414055E	Over the junction of Korilistskhali river with the black sea

See also the Visual Approach Chart AD 2.UGSB-VAC.

VFR flights entering Batumi CTR from uncontrolled airspace shall establish communication with Batumi Tower at least 5 minutes before entry to obtain clearance.

VFR flights shall enter/exit Batumi Control Zone via the entry/exit points shown in the Visual Approach Chart AD2.UGSB-VAC unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

The altitude, at which the aircraft is entering Batumi CTR, shall be 1500 FT MSL or below.

If the traffic situation requires or the active runway is blocked, the aircraft conducting VFR flight may be directed to the holding areas:

ABUKO – north-east holding area established over Makhinjauri at 1500 FT MSL or below;

GONIG – south holding area established over Gonio at 1500 FT MSL or below.

UGSB 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 RWY 1213/3031 to their feeding area, SW of the airport. Their flight height is approximately 100 FT (30 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.

Intense activity of seagulls also takes place during daytime near the airport territory over the Black Sea, as they use sea water for feeding and resting.

Seasonal activity of swallows and hawks takes place during autumn and spring when they fly across the RWY 1213/3031, their flight height varies from 100 FT (30 M) to 165 FT (50 M) AGL.

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 air traffic controllers.

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.

Dispersal activities include occasional playing back of distressed calls from high fidelity weather-resistant speakers, high shooting sound produced of liquid gas cannons allocated near the RWY 1213/3031. Also loud-hailers installed on aerodrome service vehicle are continually used for distressing birds. No open waste-bins on the aerodrome.
