EICK AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1. General
1.1 Holding Areas
Protected airspace is provided for Holding Areas in accordance with the criteria contained in PANS-OPS AIP Doc 8168, Volume II for basic holding areas.
1.2 SID and STAR
1.2.1 RNAV Equipped Aircraft
SIDs and STARs for RWY16 and RWY34 have been developed in accordance with AIP Doc 8168 (PANS OPS) and comply with Eurocontrol guidelines for the design of Terminal Procedures for Area Navigation.
The supporting navigation infrastructure is GNSS and INS/IRS as permitted by the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and/or approved by the appropriate regulatory authority.
Use of DME/DME is acceptable at higher levels, where navigation accuracy of +/- 1NM can be maintained, however due to the lack of DME facilities DME/DME can not be relied upon to provide a navigation solution at lower levels. 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 certified aircraft;
- B-RNAV certified aircraft only above MSA;
Climb to MSA on the initial segments of the RNAV SIDs 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.
1.2.2 RTF Phraseology
Phraseology used will be as provided in the European Regional Supplementary Procedures (AIP Doc 7030) and outlined in Eurocontrol Guidance material for RNAV SIDs and STARs.
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
1.2.3 Non RNAV Equipped aircraft
Non RNAV equipped aircraft will be assigned a clearance based on conventional navigation aids and/or vectoring.
1.3 Visual manoeuvring (circling) approaches
Visual manoeuvring (circling) approaches are permissible, on request, to all runways.

3. Arrival Procedures
3.1 Clearance to enter the CTA and CTR
Aircraft flying the AIS Route system will be cleared into the CTA/CTR associated with Cork without having to request a specific entry clearance.
Arriving Aircraft for RWY 16/34 capable of flying STARs 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).
Arriving aircraft for RWY 07/25 will be vectored to join the approach.
3.2 Initial Approach Procedures
- With Radar Control
In order to expedite the flow of traffic, aircraft may be cleared on STARs, 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. - 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. - Communications failure procedures for arriving aircraft
Aircraft experiencing communications failure in the Shannon CTR/CTA shall set transponder code A7600 and comply with standard AIP 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 the 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.
- Traffic cleared on STAR

4.1 RWY 16 AND 34
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.
4.2 Communications failure procedures for departing aircraft
Departing aircraft experiencing communications failure 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 AIP 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 AIP Annex 2.
Note: CAT A, B aircraft may be assigned a Departure appropriate to CAT C, D aircraft at the discretion of ATC.
5. Low Visibility Procedures
5.1 Low Visibility Procedures apply at Cork Airport when the cloud ceiling is below 200ft (60M) and either the IRVR is less than 550M or the meteorological visibility is less than 800M.
5.2 Only RWY 16 may be used for CAT II (arrival) operations. The CAT II holding position on TWY A must be used. When these Procedures are in operation and RWY 16 is in use the following standard taxi route system applies:
- Departing aircraft shall normally use TWY A.
- Arriving aircraft shall normally use TWY C.
5.3 Low Visibility Take-off (LVTO) Procedures
During LVP Operations, LVTOs are permitted from both Runway 16 and Runway 34. It is at the discretion of the PIC to depart based on their airline operation procedures in LVP conditions.
Take-offs are not available in IRVR conditions below 125M
ATC shall inform departing pilots if and when any IRVR value falls below 125M
5.4 TWY Stopbar/Centreline Lighting
TWY stopbar/centreline lighting 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 vehicle operators shall request for the instruction to cross an illuminated stop bar to be reconfirmed by ATS and read back before proceeding.
Pilots will be informed by RTF when Low Visibility Procedures are in operation.
Caution: Operational evaluation has indicated that the performance of automatic landing systems may be affected by the profile of the terrain under the approach to RWY 16. Operators' procedures should take account of this during CAT II approaches.
Aircraft operator requirements for CAT II operations at Cork may be obtained from Aerodrome Administration.
