Whenever LVP is in effect, operations on RWY 08/26 are approved for:

CAT II approaches are available for an operator whose procedures have been approved by its competent authority. A copy of the approval must be carried on board the aircraft or must have been submitted to the Estonian competent authority.

Guided take-offs are not permitted.

LVP is based on the usage of A-SMGCS system. Any failure to the A-SMGCS system will lead to the suspension of LVP.

The LVP preparation phase will be implemented when RVR falls below 1000 m and/or height of cloud base is at 200 ft and CAT II operations are expected.

The operations phase will be commenced when the RVR falls to 600 m and/or the height of cloud base is below 200 ft.

LVP will be terminated when RVR is greater than 600 m and height of cloud base is greater than 200 ft and continuing improvement in these conditions is anticipated.

Pilots will be informed by ATIS or ATC, when LVP is in force.

The ILS sensitive areas will be protected when an aircraft performing ILS approach is within 3 NM of touchdown. ILS critical areas will be protected when an aircraft performing ILS approach is within 7 NM of touchdown.

To achieve these objectives, ATC will ensure an appropriate interval between aircraft on final approach. For CAT II operations, the interval is approximately 15 NM, and more than 20 NM, when departures occur between landings.

For RWY 08, intersection take-offs are not permitted. For RWY 26, intersection take-offs are only allowed from the intersections of TWY F and S.

ATC will report the TDZ RVR value to arriving aircraft in conjunction with the approach and landing clearance. MID and END RVR values will be reported only in the following cases:

All RVR values will be reported to departing aircraft if any of the values is less than 800 m.

RNAV 1 approved aircraft may intercept the ILS localizer via RNAV STAR. Aircraft will be vectored to intercept the ILS localizer at least 9 NM from touchdown.

No separate approach clearance will be issued for CAT II approaches and CAT II approaches will be available whenever LVP is in effect.

In case disturbances occur in the equipment required for CAT II approach, which causes the equipment not to comply with the requirements for CAT II approach, pilots will be informed either by NOTAM, ATIS or ATC.

In case the aerodrome is unable to comply with the LVP implementation requirements, pilots will be informed either by NOTAM, ATIS or ATC: "Airport unable to comply with low visibility procedures".

This procedure is intended for operators, which have obtained the standard category II (CAT II) approval by their competent authorities.

The pilots, who wish to practise ILS CAT II approach, must request this on the initial contact with TALLINN RADAR using the phrase: "Request practise CAT II approach".

Clearance will be granted depending on the traffic situation and ground equipment availability.

When clearance is granted, the ILS CAT II sensitive areas will be protected when the aircraft is within 3 NM from touchdown.

De-icing will take place on stand prior to pushback and with aircraft engines off.

Taxiing of aircraft on apron M is allowed only after approved by Tallinn TWR according to taxiing instructions.

Outside ATC Service Boundary, Tallinn TWR will only provide instructions and information necessary to maintain an orderly flow of air traffic. During taxiing, the pilot shall comply with traffic regulation on apron taking into account instructions and information provided by Tallinn TWR in order to avoid collision with other aircraft, vehicles, persons or objects. Neither deviations nor shortcuts are allowed except under the guidance of marshaller or “FOLLOW ME” car or after special instructions given by Tallinn TWR.

Arriving aircraft will be allocated a stand number by the Tallinn TWR. Assistance from the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle can be requested via the Tallinn TWR.

Departing aircraft shall obtain taxi and push-back procedure instructions from Tallinn TWR on CH 135.905.

Movement of aircraft on aprons other than apron M is not subject to neither approval nor instructions by Tallinn TWR. While taxiing on aprons other than apron M, the pilot shall assume full responsibility for avoiding collisions with other aircraft, vehicles, persons or objects and follow yellow taxiing guide lines. Assistance from the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle can be requested via Tallinn TWR.

Taxiways on apron area are not equipped with centreline lights. The taxi guide lines may not be visible due to snow. Assistance from the “FOLLOW ME” vehicle can be requested via Tallinn TWR.

Tallinn TWR will issue clearance for taxiing aircraft only within ATC Service Boundary, presented on Aerodrome Chart (See AD 2.EETN-ADC). Outside the area of ATC responsibility, Tallinn TWR will give instructions and information for taxiing.

Aircraft, landing on RWY 08, are expected to vacate the RWY via TWY F or E provided the deceleration is completed before the intersection and no backtrack is needed.

Aircraft, landing on RWY 26, are normally advised, in conjunction with the landing clearance the TWY they shall vacate the RWY.

RWY 08/26 - 180 DEG turnover must be performed with a turning radius of over 2 m for ACFT inner gear to prevent damage to the pavement.

Taxi clearances are given to a designated holding or parking position indicating only the apron entry/exit taxiway to be used. Remaining of the taxi route is considered to be completed either on TWY A or apron.

Examples:

"TAXI TO HOLDING POINT FOXTROT VIA CHARLIE" or "TAXI TO GATE FIVE VIA BRAVO"

Additional clearance is required from Tallinn TWR for commencing back-track on RWY.

Insufficient safety distances set the following taxiing constraints for aircraft using their own power:

Arriving aircraft will be informed by Tallinn TWR about allocated stand normally after landing in conjunction with the taxi clearance.

Parking of aircraft on terminal stands of apron M is guided by visual docking guidance systems placed on stands (See para 9 "Aircraft Stands"). If the stands visual docking guidance system is not working, then taxiing to this stand is allowed only after marshaller signal.

For general aviation aircraft stands are allocated on apron Y5. As a rule, all arriving general aviation aircraft will be guided to stands by "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

Exceptions are made for Tallinn aerodrome based aircraft. Aircraft with wingspan up to 16 m, helicopters taxiing on the ground with a rotor diameter of up to 15 m and air taxiing helicopters with a rotor diameter of up to 12 m are exempt from guidance.

Aircraft with wingspan up to 16 m not based at Tallinn Aerodrome, helicopters taxiing on the ground with a rotor diameter of up to 15 m and air taxiing helicopters with a rotor diameter of up to 12 m will be guided to apron Y5 by "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

In case of guidance by "FOLLOW ME" vehicle is required or requested by flight crew, the taxi clearance to appropriate TWY on the ATC Service Boundary will be issued by Tallinn TWR where the guidance will be taken over by the "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

Exceptions are made for helicopters based at Tallinn Aerodrome on aprons Y2, Y3 and Y5. Helicopter parking is not allowed on apron M stands M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, M12, M13, M15, M17, M19, M21, M23, M25, M27, M32, M33, M36, M38, M40, M41, M42 and in front of the hangars (except for the front of hangar H05). It is allowed to taxi to/from hangar H05 with “FOLLOW ME” vehicle - for helicopters taxiing on the ground with a rotor diameter up to 16 m and for air taxiing helicopters with rotor diameter up to 12 m).

Training and technical check flights intending to carry out approaches to Tallinn airport are allowed after receiving permission from ATS.

Prior coordination is not necessary for training and technical check cross-country flights.

Application must be made to Tallinn Operational Supervisor by phone +372 625 8254 at least 2 hours prior to the intended departure.

Application must contain the following:

In case the permission for such flights has been granted the day before the intended departure or earlier, confirmation on the designated time interval must be received from Tallinn Operational Supervisor by phone +372 625 8254 at least 2 hours prior to the estimated time of departure.

In the event of change ("+" or "-") in EOBT of more than 15 minutes for a flight which has already been approved to execute a training flight, a new permission shall be coordinated with Tallinn Operational Supervisor.

Note 1: permission brought out in para 10.1 for such a flight does not give any priorities.

Note 2: permission for training flight is not given when a calibration or other special flight is carried out at Tallinn Airport.

Training flights shall not be planned at time between 2200-0600 (2100-0500).

In addition see paragraph EETN AD 2.21 "Noise abatement procedures".

Aircraft engine and system testing and also maintenance run-ups are allowed to be conducted in the maintenance run-up area which is located east of TWY HL.

The person responsible for aircraft testing must coordinate testing with Apron Control 30 minutes before the start of planned testing by phone +372 605 8461.

Maintenance run-up on idle power is allowed without prior coordination on aprons K, M (except for terminal stands, where maintenance run-up is forbidden), Y2, Y3 and Y5 aircraft stands.

Maintenance run-up on idle power is allowed without prior coordination in front of hangars H01 and H05.

Maintenance run-up at terminal stands M1, M2, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, M12, M13 and M15 is forbidden.

Reduced declared distances applicable for aircraft take-offs from appropriate TWY intersections are shown on Aerodrome Obstacle Chart (see AD-2.EETN-AOC) and described in para see AD 2.13.1 "Reduced declared distances for take-off".

Take-off positions on which reduced declared distances are based on (see AD 2.13.1 "Reduced declared distances for take-off") are shown on Aerodrome Obstacle Chart as "REDUCED DECLARED DISTANCES CALCULATION POINT" symbol.

Take-off positions on the RWY are not marked with painted markings or sign board.

Additional clearance is required from Tallinn TWR for commencing back-track on RWY.

Take-offs from the specified intersections of RWY/TWY intersections can be performed upon the flight crews' request if the traffic situation permits.

Reduced runway separation minima have been approved for RWY 08/26.

Reduced runway separation minima shall only be used during the hours of daylight.

ATS surveillance services within Tallinn TMA for Tallinn Lennart Meri Airport and Ämari Military Aerodrome is provided by Tallinn Approach Control (call-sign TALLINN RADAR) on CH 127.905. During night time and at certain times of a day (depending on the traffic volume in TMA and at aerodromes), ATS surveillance service within Tallinn TMA will be provided by combined Tallinn Tower and Tallinn Approach Control (call-sign TALLINN TOWER) and the channels (127.905 and 135.905) will be coupled, allowing communication with ATC unit on both channels.

A radar separation minimum of 3 NM (5.6 km) is applied between all identified aircraft within Tallinn TMA, except if greater separation is defined for wake turbulence.

If the ground temperature falls below -7°C, temperature correction is added to minimum safe altitude (MSA) by ATC.

Surveillance radar approaches (SRA) and precision approach radar approaches (PAR) are not conducted in Tallinn and Ämari aerodromes.

Aircraft having telephone on board shall contact Operational Supervisor call +372 625 8254. If possible stay on line until further instructed by ATC.

Flights intending to land at Lennart Meri Tallinn International aerodrome shall file their flight plan according to ENR 1.10 “Flight Planning”.

Arriving RNAV1 capable traffic will be cleared normally to follow RNAV STAR serving the runway in use.

Tallinn ATC will normally sequence aircraft on final approach with a spacing of 5 NM as a minimum. This spacing will be increased significantly in case heavy wake turbulence category aircraft is involved in the sequence.

Pilots are reminded that VFR flights may take place in Tallinn CTR and in uncontrolled airspace below the TMA. Therefore, a restriction to maintain ALT 2200 ft until established on final track might be given by ATC to flights conducting a visual approach.
