Agenda

• Jersey ATC project review and update

• Future projects

• Introduction of SERA

• Winter Ops

• Questions??

Review

• Runway 27/09 became 26/08.

• TA of 5000ft within the whole of the Channel Islands Airspace

– this is in line with the French.

• Class D up to FL80 with Class A above up to FL195.

• New noise abatement and circuit based on altitudes.

• IFR procedures

• Stop bars

Noise abatement

• Runway 26/08 – Take-off – VFR/SVFR - Climb straight ahead to a

minimum of 800 ft amsl (523 ft aal) before turning and climb as

rapidly as is compatible with safety to not less than 1000 ft amsl (723

ft aal).

• Runway 26/08 – Landing – Maintain at least 1300 ft amsl (1023 ft

aal) until intercepting the ILS glidepath or PAPI indication and

thereafter descend on the facility. If under 5700 kg and making a

visual approach, land must not be overflown below 800 ft amsl (523

ft aal) until on final approach.

• Wherever possible pilots should avoid overflying the island below

1000 ft agl - 1300 ft amsl

Review

• New standard circuit altitudes:-

– Whenever cloud base permits, aircraft should maintain the

following altitudes and make the majority of the circuit over the

sea:

• for propeller driven aircraft is 1300 ft amsl (1023 ft aal).

• for turbo-jet aircraft is 1800 ft amsl (1523 ft aal).

• Traffic in the VFR/SVFR circuit will be issued a clearance of

“not above altitude 2000ft”.

IFR Procedures

• Omni Directional Departures for IFR aircraft.

Rwy 26/08- Climb straight ahead to 900 ft amsl before turning.

• New missed approach procedure.

Runway 26/08 - Climb straight ahead to altitude 3000ft turn onto

heading 180°, then as directed by ATC.

• Rwy 08 Procedure Platform Altitude for instrument approaches

Increased from1600ft to 2000ft to align with runway 26

IFR Procedures

• SIDs from Runway 26 west and north straight ahead through 3000ft,

before turning.

• New Dinard SID from

runway 26 has new radial

• RNAV GNSS Approach –

Baro VNav (LNAV / VNAV)

Stop Bars

• Jersey ATC use continuous operation of “Ring of Red”.

• Additional intermediate stop bars to be used to reinforce clearance

limits or LVPs.

• Red stop bar means STOP!!!!

• Clearance to proceed beyond please challenge.

• Minimum height rules

– 500 ft above the ground or water

– 500 ft above the highest obstacle within a radius of 150 m (500 ft)

– At night

• 1000ft above the highest obstacle within 8km

• Standard departure clearances
