 OPRN AD 2.19    RADIO NAVIGATION AND LANDING AIDS

OPRN AD 2.20          LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS: AD 2.20.1: Due to parking space limitations, domestics / international operators are advised to plan their flights in a manner that prolonged ground stay is avoided as far as practicable.

                                     Aircraft should avoid flying over the town and make a right hand circuit for RWY 30 and left hand for RWY 12.

                                    Dumbbells present on the northern side of  RWY 12/30 for turn maneuvers.

                                    All pilots are to exercise extreme  caution while landing and takeoff, turning about for take off , after landing runway 30 , the turn about should be anti - clock wise after landing runway 12 and the turn about should be clockwise.

                                    All acft after landing from RWY 30 to make anti clock wise after landing runway 12 to make clock wise turn for back track.

 

                                    ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURE.

                                    

                                    All arriving and departing aircraft will maintain QNH within 25 DME from Islamabad VOR/DME below transition altitude.

                                    Aircraft operating below  transition altitude will change over to standard altimeter upon reaching 25 DME from chacklala.    

 

OPRN AD 2.20.2     TAXIING TO AND FORM STANDS:

                             Arriving aircraft will be allocated a stand number by the TWR,

                            Assistance from the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle, can be requested via the TWR. The "FOLLOW       

                            ME"  vehicle will always guide general aviation aircraft

            START UP/PUSH BACK/TAXI PROCEDURE FOR TURBO–JET AND TURBO-PROP AIRCRAFT  

                            Start up   Departing aircraft shell contact Islamabad Tower for push-back/start up approval five   

                            minutes before ready. Expect ATC clearance together with start up approval.

                             

                                                        Start up approval will remain valid for five minutes. In case of delay fresh approval shall be

                            obtained.

                           

                            When ready for pushback contact Islamabad Tower  indicating the runway predetermined by      

                            departure route designator .

                           

                            Wide bodied jet / turboprop acft on stand Nr 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8  shall not start engines until     

                             towed to abeam stnd Nr.9.

 

                             F-27 /DHC-6 ACFT may be parked on VVIP

OPRN AD2.20.9       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.

OPRN 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.

OPRN AD 2.22       FLIGHT PROCEDURES:

                                 GENERAL:  

                                 Unless special  permission has been obtained from ISLAMABAD Approach or ISLAMABAD 

                                 Tower as appropriate , flight with in ISLAMABAD approach Area shall be in accordance with the

                                 instrument flight Rules. 

                                 PROCEDURES FOR IFR FLIGHTS WITHIN ISLAMABAD APP AREA:

                                 The in bound transit and outbound routes shown on the 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.  

                                 RADAR PROCEDURES WITHIN ISLAMABAD APPROACH AREA:

                                 Normally, aircraft will be vectored and sequenced from the boundary to the final approach for

                                 RWY 30. (ILS VOR/DME) or to final approach for RWY 30, so as to ensure an expeditious flow

                                 of traffic. Radar vector and flight levels/altitudes will be issued, a required, for spacing and

                                 separating the aircraft so that correct landing interval are maintained, taking into account aircraft 

                                 characteristics. 

 

                                 Radar vectoring charts are not published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes 

                                 ensure that adequate terrain clearance exits at 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 30 as  step down commencing 

                                 descent from 10NM at an altitude of 3900 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 percomputed 

                                 check altitude so that the normal glide path can be maintained.

                                 Surveillance radar approaches operating minimum is as follows:

                                 a)     MDA/MDH                   2000 FT/832 FT

                           b)     Visibility                         1800 M

                                 Missed approach procedures to be followed  in the absence of other ATS instruction 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 WITH IN ISLAMABAD APPROACH AREA
