UDLS AD 2.20 Local traffic regulations

1 Airport regulations

At Stepanavan Airport a number of local regulations are applied. The regulations are collected in a manual (in Russian language), which is available at the Briefing Office located at the Terminal Building. This manual includes, among other subjects, the following:

Information about aircraft stands;
Information about taxiing to aircraft stands;
Information about taxiing from aircraft stands;
Limitations in the operation of aircraft stand, including limitations in use of own power for taxiing;

Information about the regulations for taxiing can be obtained from Stepanavan TWR on 130.300 MHZ.

When a local regulation is important for the safe operation of aircraft on the apron, Stepanavan TWR gives information to each aircraft.

2 Taxiing to and from stands

Arriving aircraft is allocated a stand number by Stepanavan TWR.

Own power of aircraft is always used for taxiing.

Departing aircraft obtains engine start-up clearance and taxi instruction from Stepanavan TWR on 130.300 MHZ

3 Parking area for small aircraft

Nil

4 Parking area for helicopters

UDLS AD 2.21 Noise abatement procedures

Nil

UDLS AD 2.22 Flight procedures

General

Unless special permission has been obtained from Stepanavan TWR, flight within Stepanavan TMA is conducted in accordance with the Instrument Flight Rules.

Procedures for IFR flights within Stepanavan TMA

The inbound and outbound routes shown on the charts may be varied at the discretion of ATS. If necessary, in case of congestion, inbound aircraft may also be instructed to hold at LOM ST.

Radar procedures within Stepanavan TMA

Radar vectoring and sequencing

From reporting points TUNIS, ALETI and LARIS begins STAR-s to the final approach track to RWY13 and RWY31 (2NDB) so as to ensure an expedite flow of traffic. Radar vectors and flight levels/heights will be issued, as required, for spacing and separating the aircraft so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking into account aircraft characteristics.

Radar vectoring charts have not been published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes ensured that adequate terrain clearance exists at all times until the point where the pilot resumes his own navigation on final approach or in the circuit.
