ELLX AD 2.20  Local Aerodrome Regulations

1   GENERAL
1.1   Ground Surveillance - Use of Mode A, C and S Transponders

ELLX is equipped with an advanced ground surveillance system using Mode A and S.Operators intending to use the airport should ensure that Mode S transponders are able to operate when their aircraft are on the ground.

Pilots shall select XPDR or the equivalent according to specific installation, AUTO if available, not OFF or STBY, and the assigned Mode A code, if available:

  • from the request for push-back or start-up, whichever is earlier;
  • after landing, continuously until the aircraft is fully parked on stand. When parked, Mode A code 2000 shall be set before selecting OFF or STBY.

Whenever possible, the aircraft identification (i.e. call sign used in flight) shall be entered as from the request for push-back or start-up, whichever is earlier (through the FMS or the transponder control panel). Pilots shall use the ICAO format for aircraft identification, as entered in item 7 of the flight plan form (e.g. “LGL123”).

To ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (incl. airborne ACAS units and SSR radars) is not compromised, ACAS shall not be selected before receiving clearance to line up. It should be deselected after vacating the runway.

Aircraft without assigned Mode A code or taxiing without flight plan, shall select Mode A code 2000.

1.2   Aircraft Code F

Aircraft code F other than B747-8F are subject to a special permission. Requests for special permission have to be sent minimum 72 hours in advance to dutymanager.ops@lux-airport.lu.

At holding points RWY 24 on TWY A1 and TWY A2, no simultaneous holding positions will be allowed for B747 type aircraft.

1.3   Adverse Weather

During adverse weather situations such as lightning activity above or in the proximity of the aerodrome and high winds exceeding 40 KT expect suspension of ground handling activities. Arriving aircraft are to follow the Follow Me guidance for parking of aircraft.

1.4   Wildlife strikes

Pilots are requested to report wildlife strikes as well as observed wildlife risks in flight immediately to ATC.

Once on stand submit the report also to the Wildlife Unit.

Wildlife Unit

TEL: +352 24 64 31 00

Always submit the wildlife strike report to the Safety Management Unit.

Safety Management Unit

2   TAXI REGULATIONS

When issued with taxi instructions, departing aircraft shall taxi as close as possible to the appropriate runway-holding position. Unless otherwise notified to ATC by the pilot, aircraft are expected to be ready for departure upon reaching the runway-holding position. General aviation aircraft departing from aprons P5 and P6 shall complete all pre-departure checks, including engine/power checks, before requesting taxi instructions to enter the manoeuvring area.

Aircraft with WTC H are not allowed to enter RWY 06/24 via intersection G, except when towed. All aircraft are still permitted to vacate at TWY G after landing.

TWY F is not available for aircraft with WTC H.

Traffic landing on RWY 06 and vacating at TWY E or D1 shall await onward clearance before entering TWY B1 due to conflicting ground traffic in opposite direction.

To expedite departing traffic flow on RWY 24, use TWY A2. Other TWY are available on request or ATC instruction.

Note: Main gear clearance on TWY A2 is below minima on the inner side of the turn for aircraft types Airbus A340-600, Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 777-300.

3   APRON REGULATIONS

No control service provided on aprons by ATC.

Aprons P1, P2, P7 and P10 shall only be entered behind a follow-me car.

On aprons P7 and P10, use minimum thrust, maximum 30 PCT N1, when entering aircraft stands to avoid jet blast damage and injuries. Aircraft entering stands Z5, Z6, Z7 and Z8 use caution due to slight upslope.

On aprons P1 and P2, boarding and deboarding is not permitted with running engines. The use of APU is limited to 15 minutes after arrival and 20 minutes before departure. Exception to this only after authorisation of Business Aviation Center on apron P2.

Due to reduced space on B-aircraft stands, pilots must proceed with caution when parking and strictly follow the instructions from the marshaller.

On apron P6:

  • Exit is not allowed via TXL N unless explicitly approved by ATC.
  • Air taxiing is forbidden.

Wearing of high visibility vest mandatory on movement area.

4   RUNWAY REGULATIONS
4.1   Reduced Runway Separation Minima

Reduced RWY separation minima can be applied by TWR on RWY 06/24 if following criteria are met:

  • VMC;
  • Daytime;
  • Tailwind ≤ 5 KT;
  • Runway braking action not adversely affected by contaminants (i.e. RWYCC 6 or 5).
4.2   Minimum Runway Occupancy Time
4.2.1   Departure

Pilots should be ready for a rapid line-up according to ATC instructions.

Cockpit checks should be completed prior to line-up and any checks requiring completion whilst on the runway should be kept to a minimum required. Pilots should ensure that they are able to commence take-off roll immediately after receiving take-off clearance. Pilots not able to comply with the above requirements shall notify ATC as soon as possible.

4.2.2   Arrival

Landing aircraft shall vacate the runway expeditiously and are to ensure fully vacated before stopping.

5   SPECIFIC TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
5.1   Aircraft without Radio

Aircraft without radio are prohibited.

6.1   Principles

Except for cases listed in § 6.3, handling is mandatory and will be coordinated by Business Aviation Center: MON-SUN 0500-2200 (0400-2100).

Aircraft will be parked on apron P2 by default. Apron P5 East can only be used for Luxembourg Air Ambulance and Police activities. Apron P5 West can only be used for:

  • AVGAS refuelling of single engine, propeller aircraft without commercial passengers;
  • Pre-flight checks on positions W01, W02, W03 and W04;
  • W02/W12 can only be used by rotary wing aircraft;
  • The use of any of these positions for a period longer than needed for the pre-flight checks, is subject to approval by lux-Airport;
  • Temporary parking during standard times, of single engine, propeller aircraft without commercial passengers on GA1 box only (wingspan ≤ 15 M). Aircraft shall not operate under own power within the parking area. Engine(s) must be turned off prior to entry and may only be turned on after exiting the parking box.

In case apron P5 West parking spaces are full, aircraft will be positioned on apron P2 where handling is mandatory.

Aircraft based on apron P6 can apply for JET A1 fuelling permission on apron P5.

The standard time allowed on the ground is 72 hours. Extended stays must be notified as repositioning can be required.

Operating without prior permission can result in an additional fee of up to a maximum of 4 times the regular handling fee and lead to refusal of future requests.

6.2   Procedure
  • Handling requests must be sent at the latest 6 business hours prior to the flight to bac@lux-airport.lu in order to obtain a general aviation PPR.
  • The request must include the noise certificate and specify arrival & departure date and times (no open-ended schedule).
  • The permission number must be specified in item 18 of the FPL.
  • Immediately notify any changes, cancellations or parking extension requests.
6.3   Exempted Flights

Following aircraft can be exempted from the mandatory handling on the condition that they do not perform any commercial passenger transport and where the crew is in possession of a valid and correct lux-Airport access badge:

  • Aircraft based on apron P6;
  • Non ELLX-based, single engine, propeller aircraft temporarily parking on apron P5;
  • Ambulance, police, military, state and search and rescue flights;
  • Flights diverting for safety or emergency landing and for weather or technical reasons.
6.4   Payment Methods
  • Handling fees: Credit card or credit account. No other payment accepted.
  • JET A1 payment: Fuel contract, fuel release or fuel card.

ELLX AD 2.21  Noise Abatement Procedures

1   GENERAL
1.1   “Chapter 2" Aircraft

In accordance with European Directive 2002/30, take-off and landing of aircraft noise certified according to the criteria of ICAO Annex 16, Chapter 2, are forbidden.

State and military aircraft are exempted from this prohibition.

1.2   Use of Reverse Thrust

Except for reasons of safety, aircraft crews using the airport must conform to all relevant noise abatement techniques laid down for the type of aircraft and appropriate to the operations undertaken.

Aircraft must be operated at all times in a manner designed to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport. In particular, the use of reverse thrust should be limited to idle power wherever possible and higher power used only for reasons of safety or for compliance with operational instructions.

2   GROUND PROCEDURES

Engine run-ups are only allowed for aircraft meeting the standards of ICAO Annex 16. Volume 1, Chapter 3 and shall only be conducted on the engine test area located on TWY I.

Except when specifically authorised, engine test runs are only allowed from MON to FRI between 0600 and 2000 (0500 and 1900), and on SAT between 0700 and 1900 (0600 and 1800). Engine test runs are prohibited on SUN and public holidays.

An aircraft wanting to perform an engine run-up must request prior approval 2 hours in advance to the Airport Duty Manager. In the request, the operator must indicate the aircraft type, the foreseen start and end time, as well as the power settings used for the engine test. After approval received from Airport Duty Manager, the operator can contact ATC to access the area and perform the run, according to the conditions allowed for.

Ground idle runs are not considered to be engine test runs and need to be pre-approved by Airport Duty Manager.

Email: dutymanager.ops@lux-airport.lu

3   ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
3.1   Noise Abatement Approach and Landing Procedures

Aircraft performing a visual approach shall intercept the final approach leg not earlier than 6 NM from the threshold.

3.2   Continuous Descent Operations (CDO)

When the traffic situation permits, ATC will facilitate continuous descent for all RWY, based on radar vectoring or RNAV1 procedure. Facilitation of CDO will be provided at ATC discretion only.

When a CDO can be approved by ATC, as soon as practicable after first call on the APP frequency, ATC will provide a clearance to proceed on a CDO via one or more of the following significant points: IRTON, LX242, LX243, LX063, LX062, BREDI & PONIG.

After passing either LX242 or LX243 (for RWY24), respectively LX063 or LX062 (for RWY06), aircraft on CDO are expected to turn inbound and intercept the ILS prior to the FAF.

Following phraseology shall be used:

CDO Request[aircraft call sign], [position report], REQUEST CDO.
CDO Approval[aircraft call sign], CLEARED CDO ILS RWY XX VIA [significant point], QNH (number)[units], (report established).

Descent clearance to 3000FT is included in the ILS clearance.

Following restrictions apply:

RWYRouteRestriction
06MMD – IRTON – LX06IMNM FL 080 abeam IRTON
AKELU – BREDI – LX062MNM FL 080 2 NM north of AKELU
MNM 4 700 FT above LX062
24MMD – IRTON – LX242MNM FL 080 abeam IRTON
SORAL – AKELU – LX243MNM FL 080 2 NM north of AKELU
PONIG – LX24IMNM FL 060 above PONIG

CDO will not be facilitated in adverse weather conditions that may affect the approach (wind shear, thunderstorms, etc.).

Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft shall adopt a continuous descent profile - to the greatest possible extent compatible with safe operation of the aircraft - by employing minimum engine thrust, ideally in a low drag configuration, prior to the FAF/FAP.

Note: All noise abatement procedures for arrivals as well as the speed limitations as specified in the AIP Belgium & Luxembourg remain applicable when performing CDO.

4   DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
4.1   General

The SID (see ELLX AD 2.22, § 3.2.1) constitute noise abatement procedures. It is therefore emphasized that pilots shall adhere to these routes as closely as performance permits. If unable to comply with these procedures, they shall advise ATC immediately.

4.2   Noise Abatement Take-off and Climb Procedures

Climb until 4 000 FT shall be performed with most noise abatement efficient aircraft setting if available, or at maximum climb gradient compatible with safety.

ELLX AD 2.22  Flight Procedures

1   GENERAL
1.1   Aerodrome Minima

Except in case of emergency, no pilot shall land or take off when RVR is below 125 M.

Specific minima apply for following procedures:

  • ILS/DME CAT I RWY 06: 600 M RVR;
  • ILS/DME CAT I RWY 24: 550 M RVR;
  • ILS/DME CAT II RWY 24: 300 M RVR;

  • VOR/DME RWY 24 (CAT A/B/C): 1 200 M RVR or VIS;
  • VOR/DME RWY 24 (CAT D): 1 600 M RVR or VIS.
2   IFR FLIGHTS (INBOUND)
2.1   General

ILS is the default approach procedure. Pilots planning for any other type of procedure must ask for explicit ATC clearance.

2.1.1   Aircraft Equipment

DME is compulsory for all inbound IFR traffic.

2.1.2   Radar Vectoring

Radar vectoring may be expected.

Aircraft receiving radar vectors to intercept an instrument approach to Luxembourg Airport may be assigned levels by ATC below the minimum sector altitude/terminal arrival level. Levels assigned will assure that the aircraft remains at least 1000 FT above the highest obstacle located within 3 NM or 5 NM of the aircraft, as appropriate (in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168 PANS-OPS, Volume II, Section 2, § 6.2.3). Refer to AD 2.ELLX-ATCSMAC.01.

2.1.3   Speed Limitations

Aircraft being radar vectored shall reduce speed to 250 KIAS MAX when crossing 25 DME LUX or when below FL 100.

Unless instructed otherwise, the speed on final approach shall not exceed 180 KIAS at the FAF/FAP.

Pilots are requested to comply as promptly as feasible within operational constraints with any speed adjustments requested by ATC. Aircraft unable to comply with the requested speed shall inform ATC and indicate the speed that will be used.

2.4   Circling Approach

Circling approaches are prohibited.

3   IFR FLIGHTS (OUTBOUND)
3.1   Starting Procedures

All outbound flights shall check their EOBT and update via handling or ARO if necessary. If CTOT cannot be met request delay via handling or ARO.

  • All outbound flights contact Luxembourg Delivery. Start-up shall be requested from Luxembourg Delivery EOBT-15 MIN or CTOT-30 MIN earliest if attributed and ready to push-back and/or taxi accordingly. Pilots shall request departure clearance to Luxembourg Delivery after start-up has been granted by Luxembourg Delivery.
  • If Luxembourg Delivery closed by ATIS, start-up shall be requested from Luxembourg TWR EOBT-15 MIN or CTOT-30 MIN earliest if attributed and ready to push-back and/or taxi immediately. Pilots shall request their departure clearance after start-up has been granted by TWR.

ATC start-up and/or push-back clearances are based on the assumption that an average of 15 MIN is required for start-up, push-back, taxi and take-off manoeuvres.

Pilots shall report their parking stand with the request for start-up clearance. Start-up and/or push-back shall be performed without delay after reception of the respective clearance. An ATC departure clearance shall only be requested after start-up and/or push-back has been granted by ATC.

If a time check is required and other sources such as GPS UTC time are not available, pilots can request a time check on the ATC frequency.

3.2   Departure Procedures
3.2.1   Standard Instrument Departures

SID have been established as shown on the SID charts (see ELLX AD 2.24) and as listed below. Pilots unable to comply shall inform ATC when requesting start-up clearance. ATC may deviate from these routes and pilots may expect radar vectors for separation reasons or in order to expedite traffic flow.

After take-off, aircraft shall immediately contact Luxembourg APP on CH 120.885.

The initial turns are based upon 250 KIAS, a bank angle of 25° and a temperature of ISA+15°C. PBN SID Navigation Specification is “RNAV1 - GNSS only”.

Although initial departure legs might be coded as to maintain a course to an AT or Above altitude ‘CA’, ATC expects flights to turn at the specified minimum altitude and not later.

4   LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES
4.1   Facilities and Equipment Available
4.1.1   Runways

RWY 06 is equipped with ILS and approved for CAT I operations.

RWY 24 is equipped with ILS and approved for CAT II and III operations.

Guided take-off is only available for RWY 24, if requested upon start-up.

Aerodrome operating minima can be found under § 1.1.

4.1.2   Taxiways

Information on airport ground lighting can be found on charts AD2.ELLX-ADC.02 and AD2.ELLX-GMC.02.

During LVP, arriving aircraft shall respect the following restrictions when vacating RWY 06:

  • TWY A1, A2, C or D1: preferably to be used when vacating RWY 06;
  • TWY A1, A2: if planned to use, advise ATC as soon as possible;
  • TWY G, F, E and D2: only usable on ATC instructions;
  • TWY B4 or I: not usable.

During LVP, arriving aircraft shall respect the following restrictions when vacating RWY 24:

  • TWY D2, E or F: preferably to be used when vacating RWY 24;
  • TWY B4, G or H: if planned to use, advise ATC as soon as possible;
  • TWY C, D1, H or I: only usable on ATC instructions;
  • TWY A1 or A2: not usable.

ATC may use ground surveillance information to assist in monitoring aircraft and vehicles on the manoeuvring area. Any ground surveillance derived information is however to be considered as advice only.

4.1.3   Communications

Pilots will be informed by ATIS or ATC when LVP are in progress. The ATIS message will contain the phrase “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION. DEPARTING AIRCRAFT, USE CAT TWO THREE HOLDING POINTS. ARRIVING AIRCRAFT, LATEST RVR WILL BE GIVEN ON THE ATC FREQUENCY. CHECK YOUR MINIMA”.

In addition to the current readings for the landing runway and information on significant changes in surface wind, ATC will provide details of any unavailability of equipment relevant to LVP (NOTAM will be issued if the unavailability is expected to last more than 1 HR).

Pilots will be informed by ATC when LVP are terminated.

Pilots shall report when runway and taxiway are vacated and when approaching any CAT II/III holding points.

Pilots should be ready for departure at the CAT II/III holding point.

4.2   Criteria for Initiation and Termination of LVP

The preparation phase will start when visibility is at or below 1 500 M and/or ceiling is at or below 300 FT, and further weather deterioration is expected. The notification phase will start when RVR is at or below 800 M and/or ceiling/vertical visibility is at or below 200 FT.

LVP will be terminated when RVR increases above 800 M and ceiling/vertical visibility is higher than 200 FT, and a further improvement of the weather conditions is expected.

Note: The ILS sensitive area shall remain clear of vehicles until the visibility exceeds 1 500 M and the ceiling is higher than 300 FT.

4.3   Other Information

Pilots wishing to practice a CAT II/III approach shall inform Luxembourg APP using the phraseology “REQUEST PRACTICE CAT II/III APPROACH.” They should be aware that protection of the ILS sensitive area is not guaranteed and no special ATC procedures will be applied.

During low visibility operations and provided adjacent airspace is available, arriving aircraft are typically vectored to intercept ILS at 10 NM final. Due to airspace limitations arriving aircraft may be vectored to be established at 8 NM final latest. Aircraft requiring a longer than 8 NM line-up shall inform ATC as soon as practicable to allow time for the necessary coordination with adjacent sectors.

The spacing between inbound flights established on the ILS is typically 10 NM, but may vary depending on actual weather conditions and runway contamination.

During low visibility operations, all guided take-offs shall be requested upon start-up, otherwise there is no ILS protection for departures.

During low visibility operations, the aerodrome capacity is reduced. Major delay should be expected.

5   VFR FLIGHTS
5.1   General

A flight plan is compulsory for all VFR flights to and from ELLX (see ENR 1.10, § 1.1).

The published inbound and outbound routes indicate the optimum routing with regard to safety and noise abatement. The indicated routes are compulsory and shall be followed as accurately as possible, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or necessary for the safety of the aircraft or flight. 2 000 FT AMSL are to be maintained as far as cloud separation permits.

Centreline crossing closer than 11 NM from ARP should be done at 2 000 FT MAX. Aircraft unable to comply shall contact Luxembourg APP on CH 120.885.

VFR pilots should expect delay during ATC peak hours which are defined as follows: MON to SUN 0830-1100 (0730-1000), 1600-1900 (1500-1800) and 2000-2100 (1900-2000).

5.2   Visual Reporting Points

VFR traffic shall only use following compulsory reporting points:

5.3   Inbound Traffic

Inbound flights shall proceed via the arrival routes depicted on chart AD 2.ELLX-VAC.01.

The VFR holding patterns and aerodrome traffic circuits are depicted on chart AD 2.ELLX-VAC.02 and take into consideration preferred operational routes and avoidance of noise nuisance to neighbouring communities.

If PAPI required for approach, advise ATC.

5.4   Outbound Traffic

Outbound flights shall contact Luxembourg Delivery with relevant flight plan information (e.g. exit point, touch and go) except HEMS and police flights by local operators.

Outbound flights shall proceed via the departure routes depicted on chart AD 2.ELLX-VAC.01 and

  • if RWY 06 is in use, via CARLI or OSCAR;
  • if RWY 24 is in use, via ALPHA or TANGO.
5.5   8.33 KHZ Channel Spacing

Luxembourg CTR has been designated as controlled airspace (airspace class D).

Voice communications with ATC within this airspace are performed in a 8.33 KHZ channel.

Airspace users planning to enter or operate within this airspace shall ensure that proper radio communications equipment is available on board their aircraft.

Operators equipped only with 25 KHZ channel spacing radios capability shall not use these radios in trying to communicate on a 8.33 KHZ spaced channel due to potential interferences.

25 KHZ voice channel spaced frequencies published as “contingency” shall only be used in these remote situations (e.g. airspace infringement by flights not planned to operate within the Luxembourg CTR) and only when directed by ATC.

Non-adherence to the procedures related to communication requirements mentioned above may result in the flight being refused to enter the CTR or being instructed to leave the CTR.

6   RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE
6.1   General

DIK is the only holding available in case of RCF.

Aircraft equipped with an on-board telephone/mobile phone, dial +352 47 98 24 01 0 or +352 47 98 24 01 1 and mention last RTF channel used.

6.2   IFR
6.2.1   Conventional Navigation
  • Set transponder on code 7600;
  • Proceed to DIK at last assigned and acknowledged flight level or, if assigned a level below 4 000 FT whilst receiving radar vectors to intercept an instrument approach, climb immediately to 4 000 FT;
  • At last received and acknowledged EAT or, in the absence of an EAT, at FPL ETA, descend to 4 000 FT QNH in the DIK holding pattern;
  • Descend to initial approach altitude to carry out a standard instrument approach according to IAC.
6.2.2   Performance Based Navigation
6.2.2.1   Standard Instrument Arrivals
  • Set transponder code 7600;
  • Follow STAR to end waypoint;
  • Proceed to DIK at last assigned and acknowledged flight level;

6.2.2.2   Transitions
  • Set transponder code 7600;
  • Follow Transition to FAF/FAP;
  • Adhere to published profile and speed;
  • Continue with a published approach.
6.2.2.3   Holding Patterns
  • Commence descent from the last NAVAID or fix at or as close as possible to the last expected approach time that has been received and acknowledged;
  • If no expected approach time has been received and acknowledged, the estimated time of arrival as indicated in the FPL shall be used;
  • Continue with a published approach;
  • Land, if possible, within 30 MIN after the ETA or the last acknowledged expected approach time, whichever is earlier.
6.3   VFR
  • Set transponder on code 7600;
  • Without clearance do not enter Luxembourg CTR and land on alternate aerodrome;
  • If already cleared to join aerodrome circuit: hold on downwind and look out for light signals from TWR.
