3.4 Approval for intersection take-off’s is subject to the air traffic situation.
3.5 All inbound and outbound helicopters must use the runway as the FATO/TLOF and may not carry out direct approaches to, or take-off from apron areas or taxiways. After landing and for take-off, helicopters are to ground taxi or air taxi between the runway and the allocated parking area. Caution must be exercised regarding rotor-tip clearance and downwash / outwash effect while helicopters are operating on the movement area.

EINN AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Aircraft operators shall ensure, at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport.

EINN AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1. Holding areas
Protected airspace is provided for Holding Areas in accordance with the criteria contained in PANS –OPS ICAO Doc 8168, Volume II to facilitate navigation using VOR, NDB and DME navigation aids.
2. SID and STAR
2.1 RNAV Equipped Aircraft

SIDs and STARs for RWY24 and RWY06 have been developed in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS OPS) and comply with EUROCONTROL guidelines for the design of Terminal Procedures for Area Navigation.

The supporting navigation infrastructure includes the choice of DME/DME, GNSS, VOR/DME (for reversionary navigation purposes) and INS/IRS as permitted by the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and/or approved by the appropriate regulatory authority.

Use of DME/DME may not be available below about 6000ft where terrain may obstruct line of sight with the DME infrastructure.

Operators which have obtained operational and airworthiness approval, from their regulatory authority, may operate the RNAV SID and STAR procedures in accordance with the conditions of approval including

  • P-RNAV certificated aircraft;
  • B-RNAV certificated aircraft only above MSA;

Climb to MSA on the initial segments of the RNAV SID may be conducted using conventional navigation.

If the RNAV equipment fails, or navigation accuracy of +1 NM can not be maintained, inform ATC as soon as possible. Radar vectoring will be provided.

2.2 RTF Phraseology

Phraseology used will be as provided in the European Regional Supplementary Procedures (ICAO Doc 7030) and outlined in EUROCONTROL Guidance material for RNAV SID and STAR.

Examples of phraseology for ATC are:

{CALLSIGN} CLEARED {STAR designator} ARRIVAL, RUNWAY {designator}.

Note: On such a clearance flight crew shall continue on route until reaching start point of the STAR.

{CALLSIGN} ADVISE IF ABLE {designator} DEPARTURE [or ARRIVAL].

If ATC are unable to issue a requested SID or STAR:

{CALLSIGN} UNABLE TO ISSUE (designator) DEPARTURE [or ARRIVAL] DUE [Reason]

Examples of pilot phraseology in the event of being unable to accept SID or STAR

UNABLE (designator) DEPARTURE [or ARRIVAL] DUE TO RNAV TYPE.

UNABLE RNAV DUE EQUIPMENT

3. Visual Manoeuvring Approaches
Visual manoeuvring (circling) approaches are permissible, on request, to all runways.
4. Speed Control – General Provisions

  1. ATC may request specific speeds for accurate spacing. Comply with speed adjustments as promptly as feasible within operational constraints.
  2. If unable to comply with the above, advise ATC as soon as possible
5. Arrival Procedures
5.1 Clearance to enter the CTA and CTR

Arriving Aircraft capable of flying STAR will normally be cleared on a STAR appropriate to the route by ATC. On occasions ATC may radar vector aircraft for arrival (Due traffic or technical reasons).

Standard Arrivals Routes used in the Shannon CTA are based on Holding Patterns at DERAG and ELPOM.

5.2 Initial Approach Procedures.
5.2.1 With Radar Control

In order to expedite the flow of traffic, aircraft may be cleared on STAR, or may receive radar vectors on to final approach track from the hold or earlier on the Standard Arrival Route.

Pilots should plan their flight profile in such a manner as to be able to achieve the Minimum Holding Level at the appropriate hold.

Actual descent clearance will be as directed by ATC.

5.2.2 Shannon (EINN) Arrivals - Caution - Shannon Approach Airspace is a Level Bust Hotspot Area. Ensure altimeter set to Hectopascals (HPA) when instructed by Shannon Approach.
5.2.2.1 Surveillance Minimum Altitude Chart (EINN AD 2.24-16.1) ALTITUDE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION TO 0°C is taken into account in determining minimums. For temperatures below 0°C altitude correction will be managed by ATC.
5.2.3 Without Radar Control. When RADAR is not serviceable, aircraft will be cleared to join the instrument approach procedure appropriate to the landing direction from the appropriate hold.
5.2.4 Communications failure procedures for arriving aircraft.

Aircraft experiencing communications failure in the Shannon CTR/CTA shall set transponder code A7600 and comply with standard ICAO procedures.

Supplemented by the following:

Traffic cleared on STAR
Aircraft cleared on a STAR and experiencing a Communications failure shall follow the route of the STAR at the last cleared level or altitude. On reaching the appropriate hold fix, descend to 3000ft and complete the instrument approach procedure appropriate to the Runway in use.

Traffic Radar vectored to final approach
Aircraft being radar vectored to final approach should join, in the most expeditious manner, and complete the Instrument Approach procedure appropriate to the Runway in use.

If unable to comply with above, or uncertain of position, climb to 3000ft QNH, proceed in the most expeditious manner to the hold appropriate to the Runway in use and complete the Instrument Approach Procedure appropriate to the Runway in Use

6. Departure Procedures
6.1 RWY’s 06 and 24

Aircraft capable of complying with Standard Instrument Departures will proceed in accordance with the SID.

If an aircraft is unable to comply with Standard Instrument Departure the phraseology “Unable to comply with {departure} due {reasons}”

Pilots who cannot comply with Standard Instrument Departures shall advise ATC in good time using the phraseology “Unable to comply with {departure} due {reasons}, so that alternative clearances can be issued.

6.2 OMNI-Directional Departures:

Aircraft subject to an OMNI Directional Departures instruction from RWY 06 and RWY 24 climb straight ahead to 5000ft, then depart on track as cleared by ATC, maintain a minimum climb gradient of 6.6% for ATM (400ft/NM) (minimum 3.7% for obstacle clearance). CAUTION: Close-in obstacles (Terrain and Trees) exist.

6.3 Communications failure procedures for departing aircraft.

Aircraft experiencing communications failure in Shannon CTA/CTR shall set transponder code A7600 and comply with the following procedures:

RFL below FL080: Departing traffic cleared by ATC to a level/altitude below the RFL, shall comply with Communication failure procedures as outlined in ICAO Annex 2.

RFL FL080 or above: Departing traffic cleared by ATC to a level or altitude below FL080 shall maintain the cleared level for a period of three minutes following the time the altitude/level is reached and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with filed flight plan.

Departing Traffic experiencing a communications failure above FL080 shall comply with communications failure procedures as outlined in ICAO Annex 2

7. Low Visibility Procedures
7.1 Low Visibility Procedures apply when the cloud ceiling is below 200ft (60M) and/or the IRVR is less than 550M.
7.2 Only RWY 24 may be used for CAT II operations. The CAT II holding position on TWY D2 must be used.
7.3 When these procedures are in operation and RWY 24 is in use the following standard taxi route system applies:
  • Departing aircraft shall normally use TWY’s D1 and D2.
  • Arriving aircraft shall normally use TWY A.
7.4 During LVP Operations, LVTOs are permitted from Runway 24. It is at the discretion of the PIC to depart based on their airline operating procedures in LVP conditions. Take-offs are not available in IRVR conditions below 125M. All IRVR readings must show 125M or greater. ATC shall inform departing pilots if and when any IRVR value falls below 125M.
7.5 TWY/Stop-bar/Centreline lighting/Lead on/Lead off will be in use. At no time shall an aircraft or vehicle cross an illuminated stop bar and any instruction to do so should be challenged. In exceptional circumstances when the stop bar cannot be extinguished the authorisation to cross the illuminated stop bar may be given by ATS. This shall always be challenged and confirmation received that this instruction is part of a contingency arrangement due to a failure of the stop bar. All aircraft and vehicles operators shall request for the instruction to cross an illuminated stop bar to be reconfirmed by ATS and read back before proceeding.
7.6 Pilots will be informed by ATIS broadcast or RTF when Low Visibility Procedures are in operation
