   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 degrees 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 30 must be used for take-off only and RWY 12 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 and landing on RWY30 is only permitted in daytime 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 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)”.

Published speed restrictions on STARs and instrument approach procedures shall always be complied with. Controllers are not allowed to cancel published speed restrictions.

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.

Visual departures are not implemented.

   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 12/30 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 12/30, 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 12/30. Also loud-hailers installed on aerodrome service vehicle are continually used for distressing birds. No open waste-bins on the aerodrome.
