EIKY AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

1. Aircraft Taxiing

Pilots should use the minimum power necessary while taxiing. On west apron stands 1 to 5, pilots should operate at the minimum power commensurate with the intended manoeuvre, due to the effect of jet blast on personnel, equipment and buildings.

2. Aircraft Engine Test Runs

Permission for all test runs must be obtained from the ATC Aircraft engine test runs at idle speed not exceeding five minutes duration are permitted on the west apron stand 1 and stand 2, and on the east apron stand E2 and stand E3 locations as indicated on Kerry aerodrome chart EIKY AD 2.24-1.Engine test runs up to full power shall take place in the isolated area parking (IAP) location as indicated on Kerry aerodrome chart EIKY AD 2.24-1.

EIKY AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Turbojet aircraft may operate only between the hours of 0730 and 2300 (UTC) during the period 1st October to 31st May. Operation is unrestricted during the period 1st June to 30th September.

EIKY AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1. Arrival Procedures

Clearance to enter the CTR

Arrival routes may be varied at the discretion of ATC.

Arrival Routes are based on holding patterns established at KER NDB and ROTSO.

Shannon AIS will descend arriving traffic to the lowest usable flight level within controlled airspace (FL 080 / Shannon Transition level if higher).

A lower level/altitude within controlled airspace may be coordinated with Kerry ATC.

Descent into the FIR (Class G Uncontrolled airspace)
Caution: Descent below FL080 or Transition level if higher, before the lateral limits of the Shannon CTA, Kerry Control Zone or associated stubs as outlined in ENR 2.1 will bring the flight into Shannon Class G (uncontrolled) airspace. There may be traffic operating in this airspace that is unknown and not operating with a transponder. Such descent, if requested, may be given at pilot’s discretion with a clearance to re-enter controlled airspace at or descending to a specified level/altitude agreed with ATC. Flight information in the FIR is available from Shannon ATS on 127.500MHz

2. Communication Failure

In the event of communication failure, the pilot shall act in accordance with the communication failure procedures in AIP Annex 2 supplemented by the following:

Traffic departing on Kerry SID SHA3A, SHA3B, SHA3C, SHA3D, CRK3A, CRK3B, CRK3C, CRK3D, KER3A, KER 3B, KER3C & KER3D, experiencing radio communication failure in the Kerry CTR/Shannon CTA shall maintain the maximum altitude specified in the SID for a period of three minutes following the time the altitude is reached and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with filed flight plan

3. OMNI-DIRECTIONAL DEPARTURE PROCEDURE FOR RUNWAYS 08/26

RWY	TRACK	A/C Category	Minimum Climb Gradient	Routing
26	256	A,B,C	Minimum Climb Gradient of 6%	Climb straight ahead until 4500ft and then as directed by ATC
08	076	A,B,C	Minimum Climb Gradient of 5.0%	Climb straight ahead until 4500ft and then as directed by ATC

Pilots who cannot comply with any of the SID’s or Omnidirectional departure procedures must inform ATC in good time so alternative clearances can be issued.

Terrain

Departing aircraft requiring a deviation from there clearance, published SID or Omnidirectional departure, should exercise caution due high ground.
Deviation from the published procedures required by departing aircraft will, on request, be approved by ATC “At pilots Discretion”. Warning of high ground.

4. Reduced Aerodrome Visibility Procedures and Low Visibility Procedures

Reduced Aerodrome Visibility Procedures are approved for operations on Runway 26 and for Runway 08.

4.1 Reduced Aerodrome Visibility Procedures (RAVP)

Reduced Aerodrome Visibility Procedures come into effect when

The IRVR and/or Met Visibility falls below 1500m and/or
When all or part of the manoeuvring area is not visible to the Duty Air Traffic Control Officer (DATCO) from the control tower.

The Maximum allowable movement rate on the manoeuvring area when RAVPs are in force is 3 (2 aircraft and 1 vehicle or 2 vehicles and 1 aircraft).

4.2 Low visibility procedures (LVP)

Kerry airport are not approved for low visibility procedures and therefore do not operate in low visibility conditions (LVC)

Where the reported conditions are below the operational minima of RVR ≤550M or height of cloud ≤200ft, Aircraft arrival and departure operations shall be suspended.
