ARRIVALS- GENERAL:
4.9.1 The provision of radar approach control service to arriving traffic at Lahore Airport is achieved by Lahore Approach control by vectoring, monitoring and provide spacing in terms of required landing interval of all arrivals either for a visual approach or to an approach aid appropriate to the runway-in-use. If an arriving aircraft does not indicate that she has received the current ATIS broad cast, the Approach Controller has to pass the latest weather and airfield conditions to the aircraft. It is the responsibility of Approach Controller to immediately relay all changes in weather (RVR) and airfield conditions to all arrivals under his control and in direct communication with him. Designation of the runway-in-use is the prerogative of the Aerodrome Controller, but all changes to this designation shall be coordinated with the Approach Controller well in time and this coordinated change of runway shall be fed into the ATM system from FDA TWR position and as well as Approach Contrroller / FDA Approach. When an aircraft makes request to use the runway end other than the one in use such approach may be accommodated provided:. 4.9.5.1 Coordination with Aerodrome controller is affected, and 4.9.5.2 No departure is expected after the time such arriving aircraft has entered control zone. (Note: Such requests shall be refused or deferred if it results in delay to other traffic.) The Approach Controller shall keep the Aerodrome Controller updated on the landing sequence of arriving aircraft. However, when aircraft is equipped with functioning transponder and SDD in control tower is serviceable, progress of arrival for Lahore and Walton may not be passed to Aerodrome controller. Normally all aircraft in a series of arrival expect to carry out the same type of approach to land in turn on the same runway. The type of approach to be executed by each one of the series of arriving aircraft need not be repeated to the Aerodrome Controller unless it differs significantly from others in the sequence. When SSR / FDP and / or transponder of aircraft are non operative, Area Control has to co-ordinate arrivals coming from airspace under its jurisdiction by ensuring that flight plan estimates have been passed to Approach at least three minutes before the aircraft is expected to enter the TMA. The changes in the CPL shall also be passed to Approach Control without delay. When SSR / FDP and / or transponder of aircraft are non operative, Area Control has to clear inbound aircraft to Lahore via the appropriate STAR. ACC East Controller shall coordinate with Approach about the levels below FL 155 to which an aircraft is cleared and that shall be passed invariably. When ETAs at the Lahore indicate traffic in excess of the Approach acceptance rate (sequencing interval), Planner / Area Controllers shall issue clearance to hold over designated fix with appropriate EAT in coordination with Approach Controller and shall be informed accordingly. Area Control will transfer the control of inbound traffic to Approach at 50 DME from Lahore or at any other position agreed by them. Approach Controller shall not give climb above the last assigned level by ACC to arriving aircraft unless prior coordination has been affected with concerned ACC Controller. Approach Controller will not normally provide advisories to aircraft after crossing final approach fix to the runway except when radar reveals a situation, which in the opinion of the controller, is likely to affect safety of the flight. When SSR and transponder of aircraft are operative, ACC will coordinate with Approach for minimum available level for arriving aircraft and will continue release aircraft, with vertical separation on the basis of agreed level unless amendment received from Approach controller.

OF

BIRD

5.17.1 INFORMATION TO PILOTS ABOUT BIRD HAZARD Advance information to the pilots about the presence of birds in the vicinity of an airport is of great significance, because it enables them to take timely evasive action. The prominent elements of such information are: 5.17.1.1 Their direction, and approximate distance from Control Tower. 5.17.1.2 Direction and approximate distance from threshold or end of runway (in case bird activity is seen on final approach or in the take-off path). 5.17.1.3 Vertical range. 5.17.1.4 Direction of movement and progressive position (on request from pilot or on Controllers own initiative). 5.17.1.5 The number and pattern of bird presence i.e. whether they are flying individually or in flock. 5.17.2 RESPONSIBILITY OF ATCO (TOWER) Normally, it is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command of the aircraft to avoid collision with birds. However, small birds cannot always easily be spotted from the cockpit, particularly in restricted visibility. Thus it is the duty of an Air Traffic Control Officer in the tower to scan the area with binoculars and inform the pilot if and when a bird is or likely to come in the flight path. He should keep on guiding the pilot about the hazard till his safe take-off / touchdown. 5.17.3 GUIDE-LINES FOR ATCO (TOWER) Air Traffic Control Officer on duty in the tower shall adhere to the following procedures: 5.17.3.1 Maintain a continuous watch on all visible flight operations at, and in the vicinity of the Airport. 5.17.3.2 Exercise a continuous vigilance for birds in the airspace of the airport. 5.17.3.3 Obtain information in respect of birds from the Airport Safety Services personnel on duty.

Initiate action to shoot down and / or disperse birds before an aircraft takes off or lands. 5.17.3.5 Provide timely information to the pilot about presence of birds so that he can promptly locate them and take evasive action. 5.17.3.6 Follow, flight path of the aircraft and movement of the birds in order to keep the aircraft warned. 5.17.3.7 Delay departure or landing of an aircraft when considered necessary. 5.17.3.8 At airports where established traffic patterns and air traffic conditions permit, every endeavor is to be made to transmit to the pilot the take off / landing instructions in such a manner that the flight path of the aircraft is kept safe and well clear of the birds. 5.17.3.9 Use binoculars to scan the runways, final approach area and take off / climb areas. 5.17.3.10 Inspect runways frequently, particularly at dawn, before sun-set, after rains and prior to aircraft movement. 5.17.4 QUADRENNIAL DIVISION OF AIRPORT TRAFFIC ZONE For the purpose of giving reports of location of birds spotted in the vicinity of airports, the airspace within the Aerodrome Traffic Zone is to be divided into 4 sectors (quadrants) as under: Sector /(Quadrants) Bearing From Control Tower North East / Quadrant I 000 089 degrees South East / Quadrant II 090 179 degrees South West / Quadrant III 180 269 degrees North West / Quadrant IV 270 359 degrees 5.17.5 MANNER OF TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION It is necessary to follow a standard form of transmitting the relevant information to a pilot. For instance, if birds have been observed at an approximate height of 1000 ft. on a bearing of about 140 degree from Control Tower and at a distance of approximately 4 miles, shall be transmitted in the following manner: Caution birds 4 miles in South East Sector at 1000 ft. 5.17.6 RECORDING / REPORTING OF BIRD STRIKE INCIDENTS 5.17.6.1 All bird hit incidents shall be duly recorded in a logbook specially maintained for the purpose. The following actions will be taken in addition: 5.17.6.1.1 The pilot is to be informed regarding any bird hit suspected by the Air Traffic Controller even if he has not reported. 5.17.6.1.2 Runway inspection is to be carried out after suspected or actual bird hit report. 5.17.6.1.3 DATCOs should be prepared for any emergency e.g. request for priority landing by aircraft after having a bird strike. 5.17.6.1.4 ICAO specified Bird Strike Reporting Form is to be completed by the pilot concerned, after landing. The duty Air Traffic Controller shall also complete this form when: y The report is not initiated by the pilot and an aircraft is observed to have encountered a bird hit; or y The report is filed by the aircraft in flight. 5.17.6.1.5 The completed forms along with comments of the Airport Managers shall be sent to HQCAA (ATS Branch) for disposal. 5.17.6.1.6 In order to obtain a bird eye view shooting activities at airports, and for the purpose of statistical record, a consolidated statement as per Proforma ATS/RCN/122 is required to be submitted by all airports. The return in duplicate should reach th HQCAA before 10 day of every month with a copy endorsed to the CFRO. (A Bird Hit incident logbook is placed in Tower). 5.17.6.1.7 The bird activity considerably increases with the on set of Monsoon Season. The bird activity on the manoeuvring area is potential hazard to safe operation of aircraft. It is, therefore, essential that positive measures be adopted to scare off the birds from the manoeuvring area specially the runways.

VEHICULAR MOVEMENT AT NTCL APRON


5.23.1 GENERAL: 5.23.1.1 Since vehicular movement is an integral part of ground control movements therefore establishment of vehicular traffic procedures are the requirement for safe and orderly flow of vehicular traffic. Though with the incorporation of modern passenger boarding bridges of wide bodied parking stands and provision of automated fuel hydrant system along with Aero bridges, movement of vehicles would be (reduced) very less. Yet movement of vehicles for those flights parked at non-bridge stands would be of the same quantum as we are facing now. 5.23.1.2 As apron is divided into two parts, 11 parking stands are provided along terminal building side and 9 parking stands are on the other side of the apron with a taxi lane dividing both parking areas. It would be critical and tedious to effect proper control on all the ground movements inclusive of aircraft movements and vehicular movements, particularly while vehicles would

Chapter 6 TRAINING
6.1 INTRODUCTION:
6.1.1 The Job Training Standard (JTS) required for the air traffic controllers rating, covers a wide spectrum of knowledge in various fields and it is essential that the trainee understands all the material to the level specified in MATS Pakistan. However, the relative importance of the knowledge compared with the ability to apply that knowledge must be kept in mind. The trainees ability to put his knowledge into successful practical application is an even more important aspect of the considerations necessary to the granting of rating for any ATS Unit. The trainee is required to demonstrate his/her ability to meet the standard in a solo capacity by applying the rules, regulations, procedures and practices in a live operational environment for obtaining a solo rating. Emphasis must be given on this aspect during OJT. Before recommending the trainee for a solo check, the Facility Training Officer (FTO) should be completely satisfied that the trainee has reached the validation standard for the rating and this should be confirmed by a writ. On the job training on ATS facilities is conducted as a routine job. O.J.T.I.s has to play an important role in conducting OJT. They have to impart knowledge, professional guidance and monitor carefully the progress of Air Traffic Controllers deployed for OJT with them. Facility Training Officer shall be responsible to COO/RFC for the training, evaluation and development programme of Air Traffic Services personnel. In discharging this responsibility, he shall perform the following duties: 6.2.1.1 Plan, Implement and supervise on the job training. 6.2.1.2 Prepare guidance material for on the job training. 6.2.1.3 Supervise and provide guidance to O.J.T. Instructors. 6.2.1.4 Organize and conduct refresher lectures/class room training for ATS Officials. 6.2.1.5 Evaluate local ATS procedures/practices and recommend improvements, if required. 6.2.1.6 Evaluate the working of ATS officials to ensure that they adhere to standard procedures and practices. 6.2.1.7 Prepare and update the duty roster of Air Traffic Controllers and staff for the smooth provision of Air Traffic Service in coordination with COO/RFC. 6.2.1.8 Any other duties assigned The Job Training Standard (JTS) is a carefully devised syllabus for the rating disciplines of OJT, indicating the depth of knowledge and degree of skill required for each specific discipline for the JTS. The JTS is divided into five parts as follows: 6.3.2.1 Requirements for Aerodrome Control Rating. 6.3.2.2 Requirements for Approach (Procedure) Control Rating. 6.3.2.3 Requirements for Planner / Area Control Rating 6.3.2.4 Requirements for Approach Radar Rating. 6.3.2.5 Requirements for Area Radar Rating. In order to achieve a high proficiency level, a training programme has been planed for training of newly inducted/posted trainee ATC Officers. The training programme has been divided in to three phases; 6.3.3.1 Phase one: the trainee will get training at each FDA position. 6.3.3.2 Phase two: the trainee will get prepare to undergo OJT on live traffic. 6.3.3.3 Phase three: the trainee will carry out OJT on live traffic.

REQUIREMENT FOR RADAR RATING:


To ensure a safe and expeditious flow of air traffic, en-route and in the vicinity of aerodromes, radar equipment is used as Air Traffic Controllers main tool in carrying out their duties. When employed for radar duties, the air traffic controller derives information presented on radar displays, in addition to the information obtained from pilots estimates and current flight plans, and not as in the case of non-radar where information is derived partly from the pilot and partly from his own estimates/calculations. The guidance given by the radar controller must be accurate because of the reduced separation minima applied. Proficiency in radar control can only be achieved by practical application of established techniques and the use of standard phraseologies and procedures. Performance of radar equipment can be affected by meteorological and other factors and it is essential for radar controllers to have a thorough knowledge of the operational characteristics of the equipment in use and its limitations. For obtaining a radar rating ( Area & Approach)the trainee should be fully conversant with and able to apply in a practical environment the following elements in the use of radar; 6.7.1 OPERATION TECHNIQUE AND PROCEDURES: 6.7.1.1 Trainee will practically demonstrate their ability to (within 30 watches): 6.7.1.1.1 set up the equipment including ATM system (SDD & VCCS) and carryout routine checks; 6.7.1.1.2 identify aircraft (all methods) 6.7.1.1.3 provide vertical radar separation standards and avoiding action; 6.7.1.1.4 pre-plan and provide safe and expeditious routing of aircraft; 6.7.1.1.5 apply speed control; 6.7.1.1.6 apply mode C separation and its limits; 6.7.1.1.7 execute the procedure for radar failure; 6.7.1.1.8 execute the procedure for radio failure; 6.7.1.1.9 employ correct RTF technique and phraseology; 6.7.1.1.10 carryout surveillance radar approaches whenever applicable; 6.7.1.1.11 apply terrain clearance; 6.7.1.1.12 accurately position aircraft for the final approach or on other radar/radio aids; 6.7.1.1.13 co-ordinate with and transfer control to adjacent air traffic services units; and; 6.7.1.1.14 apply the emergency procedures.
