Implementation of low visibility procedures (LVP).
From 21 MAR 2024 new low visibility procedures (LVP) will be implemented at Tallinn Aerodrome. When LVP will be in force, the following flight operations can be conducted at Tallinn Aerodrome:
Type of aid, MAG VAR Type of supported OP (for VOR/ILS/MLS, given declination) | ID | FREQ | OPR HR | Position of transmitting antenna coordinates | Elevation of DME transmitting antenna | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| LOC 08 ILS CAT II II/T/3 (9° E 2020) | IIB | 108.300 MHz | H24 | 592447.4N 0245223.3E | LOC course 081° | |
| GP 08 ILS CAT II II/T/3 | 334.100 MHz | H24 | 592445.0N 0244856.8E | 3°, RDH 54 ft | ||
| DME 08 | IIB | CH 20X | H24 | 592445.0N 0244856.8E | 200 ft | Coverage: 25 NM |
| LOC 26 ILS CAT II II/T/3 (9° E 2020) | ILK | 109.300 MHz | H24 | 592448.0N 0244804.6E | LOC course 261° | |
| GP 26 ILS CAT II II/T/3 | 332.000 MHz | H24 | 592443.6N 0245140.4E | 3°, RDH 54 ft | ||
| DME 26 | ILK | CH 30X | H24 | 592443.6N 0245140.4E | 200 ft | Coverage: 25 NM |
Area 4 obstacles can be found from aim.eans.ee/takistused.
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.
All taxiways (except TWY D) are equipped with taxiway centre line lights and are available for taxiing. TWY D shall not be used during LVP.
When necessary, ATC utilizes intermediate holding positions (IHP) on the manoeuvring area for traffic control. All IHPs are equipped with yellow intermediate holding position lights. The following IHPs are available for traffic control on TWYs:
During LVP, the available RWY entry is limited to:
During LVP, pilots should plan to exit the RWY via:
TWYs for RWY exits are equipped with green/yellow coded TWY centre line lights.
When instructed by ATC to report 'runway vacated', it must not be done until the aircraft has completely crossed the end of the green/yellow taxiway centerline lights.
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.
Aircraft de-icing may only be carried out in areas specifically designated by the airport – apron stands or remote de-icing facility at TWY A holding position A1 and at de-icing facility NORTH (at the holding positions of TWYs HL and HR).
When runway 08 is in use, de-icing will be only performed at apron stands. When RWY 26 is in use, de-icing may be performed on a remote de-icing facility at TWY A holding position A1 and at de-icing facility NORTH (on the holding positions of the TWYs HL and HR).
De-icing facility NORTH (at the holding positions of the TWYs HL and HR) will not be usable during LVP.
Initial de-icing requests by the aircraft crew shall be submitted to Tallinn Airport GH on radio channel Tallinn Handling 131.905 as early as possible but at least 15 MIN prior to off-block time. Handling coordinator will then inform the aircraft crew on channel 131.905 of the location or area where de-icing is carried out and will forward the request to the de-icing operator (De-icing 121.780).
For the purpose of describing the provision of an aerodrome control service on the manoeuvring area at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport in the context of varying visibility conditions, the following four visibility conditions are defined for both day and night operations:
RVR is 1000 m or more. Visibility is sufficient for the pilot to taxi and to avoid collision with other traffic on TWYs and at intersections by visual reference, and for the personnel of control units to exercise control over all traffic on the basis of visual surveillance.
RVR is less than 1000 m but 550 m or more. Visibility is sufficient for the pilot to taxi and to avoid collision with other traffic on TWYs and at intersections by visual reference, but insufficient for the personnel of control units to exercise control over all traffic on the basis of visual surveillance.
RVR is less than 550 m but more than 75 m. Visibility is sufficient for the pilot to taxi and to avoid collision with other traffic on TWYs and at intersections by visual reference, but insufficient for the personnel of control units to exercise control over all traffic on the basis of visual surveillance.
RVR is 75 m or less. Visibility is insufficient for the pilot to taxi by visual guidance only.
