Departure / Arrival / Surface Flow TWY E/G HOT SPOT • Intersection TORA

High-level tower/surface logic (AD 2.8, AD 2.9, Declared distances).
Phase Key Control Action Notes / Risk Points
Push / Taxi SMC 121.900 assigns route via TWY E / G TWY E / G are HOT SPOT. Monitor spacing, wingtip clearance. L1–L4 are MIL only.
Holding Short Hold at published holding position coordinates Typical for RWY 02: 260626.156N 0913511.417E. Confirm correct freq transfer to TWR 118.750.
Line Up / Takeoff Line up RWY 02 / 20 when cleared Intersection departures published:
RWY 02 via L2 2371 m / F 1760 m / E 1566 m / L3 1072 m.
RWY 20 via L4 2734 m / L3 2031 m / E 1537 m / F 1343 m.
After Departure TWR hands to APP 123.900 Ensure departure mode / SID or radar vector is known.
Pivot / Power note:
"ACFT not to make Pivotal turn on RWY and make 180 DEG turn at turnpads and Dumbell." High thrust may affect buildings in the operational area. Pilots to taxi on low power.

Low Visibility & Take-off Minima RVR ≥ 550 m • LVP activation

From AIP AD 2.23 (LVP / safeguarding / minima RWY 02).
Item Condition / Action
Take-off Minima AD minima for take off is RVR 550M and above (RWY Guard Lights not available).
Start Safeguarding If Vis/RVR < 1200 m and forecast to fall ≤800 m,
or ceiling < 400 FT and forecast to fall ≤200 FT.
Implement LVP Vis/RVR < 800 m (or 550 m) and/or ceiling ≤200 FT AND safeguarding complete.
LVP must be declared in force.
During LVP • Towing only with escorted “Follow Me”.
• No ground runs except idle on stands.
• Vehicles on manoeuvring area kept to minimum.
• “LVP in force” may be added to ATIS.
• Departures only from RWY beginning.
• Tower must confirm RVR within minima before T/O clr.
Terminate LVP Vis/RVR ≥ 800 m AND ceiling ≥ 200 FT with improving trend.
ATIS broadcast “LVP CANCELLED” twice.
