OPLA AD 2.20.9        REMOVAL OF DISABLED AIRCRAFT FROM RUNWAYS:   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 aerodromes authority at the owner’s or user’s expense.

OPLA AD 2.21            NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES: Noise abatement procedures are published on the Standard Instrument Departure (SIDs) Charts. These SIDs include minimum noise routes established to reduce noise disturbance to the city of Karachi.

OPLA AD 2.22            FLIGHT PROCEDURES:

                                     GENERAL 

Unless special permission has been obtained from Lahore Approach or Lahore Tower as appropriate flight with in Lahore TMA and Lahore CTR shall be in accordance with the Instrument Flight Rules.

Walton Aerodrome is in close proximity. Local training flights are required to notify persons on board before departure.

                             All flights are required to notify persons on board before departure.

All aircraft arriving at Lahore to maintain 2,500ft on QNH until cleared for further descent by ATC. Aircraft departing from RWY 18 shall maintain RWY heading until passing 2,500 FT on QNH.       

                                     PROCEDURES FOR IFR FLIGHTS WITHIN LAHORE TMA

The inbound, transit and outbound routes shown on he charts may be   varied at the discretion of ATS. If necessary, in case of congestion inbound aircraft may also be instructed to hold at one of the designated reporting points.

                                    Holding points:

following en route holding points have been established for air traffic involved in holding when operating within Lahore TMA

                                    LEMOM-fix from Lahore VOR/DME

LEMOM-inbound  049 degrees (M) (Radial) 229 of lahore VOR). Out-bound 229  degree (M). one  minute Race Track Pattern, rate one turn and all turn to left.

                                    SHEIKHPURA-NDB.

“SP”NDB inbound 115 degrees (M) outbound 295 degrees (M). one minute Race Track Pattern, rate one turn and all turns to right. Aircraft will hold at an altitude assigned on ATC clearance”.  

                                     RADAR PROCEDURES WITHIN LAHORE TMA

Normally , aircraft will be vectored and sequenced from CTR boundary to the final approach for RWY 36R/36L(ILS, VOR/DME) or the final approach for RWY 18L/18R, so as to ensure an expeditions flow of traffic. Radar vectors and flight level/altitudes will be issued, a required for spacing and separating the aircraft so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking onto  account aircraft characteristics.

Radar vectoring charts are not published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes ensure that adequate terrain clearance exists all times until the point where the pilot will resume his own navigation on final approach or in the circuit.      

                                    SURVEILLANCE RADAR APPROACHES

Surveillance radar approaches will be carried out for runway 36R ,36L,as  step down commencing descent from 10NM at an  altitude of 2000 ft. surveillance radar final approaches will be terminated at 2 NM from touch down.

At each nautical mile and until 2 NM from touch down, the pilot will be given the pre-computed check altitude so that the normal glide path can be maintained.

Surveillance Radar Approaches operating minimum is as follows:-

a) MDA/MDH            100 FT/900 FT

b) Visibility              1800m.

Missed approach procedures to be followed in the absence of other ATS instructions are as detailed on the instrument approach charts.

                                    Communication Failure

In case of communication failure, the pilot shall act in accordance with the communication failure procedures in ICAO Annex 2.

                              PROCEDURES FOR VFR FLIGHTS WITHIN LAHORE TMA

Provided traffic condition permit, ATC clearance for AFR flights will be given under the conditions described below:                            

-          A flight plan requesting ATC clearance, containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight shall be submitted.

-          ATC clearance shall be obtained immediately before the aircraft enters the area concerned.

-           Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2.

-         Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.

-          The flight shall be conducted with vertical visual reference to the ground unless the flight can be conducted in accordance  with the Instrument Flight Rules.

-        Two-way communication shall be maintained on the frequency prescribed. Information about the appropriate frequency can be obtained from Lahore ACC.

-         The aircraft shall be equipped with SSR transponder with 4096 Codes in Mode A/3. Flights performed in connection with parachute jumps shall, in addition, be equipped with Mode C with automatic transmission of pressure altitude information (cf. ICAO Annex 10, Volume 1).

-          Arriving VFR Flights desirous to avail RADAR air traffic information services, are required to notify their intentions on first contact. Departing VFR flights shall do so prior to their departure from the aerodrome concerned or as early as possible after departure.

 NOTE:- ATC clearance is intended only to provide separation between IFR and VFR 

            flights.

PROCEDURES FOR VFR FLIGHTS WITHIN LAHORE CTR  

a)       Flight plan shall be filed for the flight concerned.

b)       ATC clearance shall be obtained from the Control Tower.

OPLA AD 2.23            ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

                                     BIRD CONCENTRATION IN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORT

Heavy bird activity around AD. Kites and other birds present a hazard to air navigation at all times the vicinity of the airport. Pilot are advised to excise extreme caution when approaching or departing, particularly below ALT 3000ft.  ATC will endeavor to keep pilot advised of bird concentrations, but single birds circling at any height are very difficult to observe from ATC.

Pilot reports of bird concentration are requested. These reports are very useful in planning a program to attempt a reeducation of bird strike hazards. 

                                    FUEL DUMPING PROCEDURE

          Aircraft requiring to dump fuel in the designated area

OPR-201 see ENR 5) shall obtain prior approval from lahore

Approach Control. Aircraft not in radio contact with lahore

Approach Control shall avoid flight over the area below FL 70.

MINIMUM fuel dumping altitude is  FT50.
