1  Airport regulations

To be developed.

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 MTOW 35 tones 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.

Isolated aircraft stand with the coordinates 421043.683N 0422809.593E is available near the TWY B.

For those airplanes whose reference field length is 1500 m or over, during poor runway braking action being reported, because of insufficient longitudinal coefficient of friction, landing or take-off is forbidden if crosswind component exceeds 24 KM/HR (13 KT).

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.

The washing area for aircraft is located on the aircraft parking stands 8 and 9.

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.

1  Procedures for IFR flights within Kutaisi TMA

2  Procedures for VFR flights within Kutaisi TMA

Two-way radio communication shall be maintained with Kutaisi Approach on the FRQ 127.100 MHZ.

Transfer of VFR flights between Kutaisi APP and Kutaisi TWR is conducted over established entry/exit points of CTR as shown in the Visual Approach Chart AD2.UGKO-VAC unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

3  Procedures for VFR flights within Kutaisi CTR

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

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

VFR flights within Kutaisi CTR shall be conducted at or below 1500 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 Kutaisi CTR via the entry/exit points shown on the Visual Approach Chart AD 2.UGKO-VAC, unless otherwise instructed by APP or TWR unit.

To facilitate separation of VFR and IFR flights within the CTR, TWR controller may instruct a VFR flight to follow the following routes (taking into account the planned entry/exit point of a VFR flight):

For arriving VFR flights:

• UMZEL – NORGO, followed by holding at NORGO if required;
• OQIZO – NORGO, followed by holding at NORGO if required;
• GOLTI – AMPIZ – SOKKA, followed by holding at SOKKA if required;
• KRESA – ZAZNO – SOKKA, followed by holding at SOKKA if required.

For departing VFR flights:

• After departure to ZAZNO then KRESA;
• After departure to AMPIZ then GOLTI.
  Note: No intermediate points will be required when leaving CTR via UMZEL or OQIZO or ZINDE.

For VFR flights crossing CTR:

• GOLTI – KRESA, or
• KRESA – GOLTI.

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