Some helpful tips for using this presentation…

Most slides of this presentation contain an associated “NOTES” Page. These “notes” are designed as “Instructor’s Talking Points.” They are global in nature and intended to remind the instructor of areas to emphasize and lessons-to-be-learned. To ensure all notes are displayed, utilize the scroll down feature.



To access the NOTES page from the full screen presentation, press Esc on the keyboard and right mouse click the notes page ICON. To return to the full screen presentation with animation, select the full screen ICON.

Part 3 – Lessons

x

1. Operating at a busy 24 hour towered commercial airport

2. Using the AFD

3. Understanding the airport diagram

4. Utilizing AFSS, ARTCC, ASOS and ATIS

5. Communicating with the tower


This document has been prepared for training purposes only and sets

forth general principles and guidance concerning good

operating procedures for avoiding surface incidents and runway

incursions. It is neither mandatory nor regulatory in nature.

How do I build situational awareness

for operating at a complex towered

airport?


I’ll contact OLU AFSS on 122.35 to check for any new NOTAM’s for

OMA and check the weather.

Building situational awareness


Wind is from the south, I’ll plan for Runway 18, but be

prepared for any other runway.

“…Omaha automated weather, sky clear below

12,000, visibility 10, Wind 190 at 9 kts,

NOTAM Runway 14L/32R closed…”

OLU AFSS



Prior to departure from OTM, you

reviewed the AFD for OMA and the airport diagram



Since the AFD entry does not list a TPA for OMA (traffic pattern altitude) look for field elevation to determine YOUR TPA.



Standard pattern… EXCEPT FOR RUNWAY 32R?

Why?



A standard traffic pattern (left) for Runway 32R would put you in the approach corridor for Runway 32L/14R.

This is typical at airports with parallel runways.



Attended continuously?

The airport? The tower?


The absence of operational hours

listed with the ATCT frequencies

indicates the tower is operated 24/7.

“Attended continuously” means the airport is attended 24/7.


Birds on and in the vicinity of the airport?

294’


Good information to have if required to “go-around”


Bonus question time!


Yellow sign yellow array points the way!


Land & hold short ops?



Since OLU AFSS said the wind at OMA is now 190 at 9, if I land on Runway 18, I may have to hold short of 14R/32L.

That gives me 3,500 feet of landing and stopping distance.



Note:

At 3,500 feet down runway 18, there will be hold position signs on both sides of the runway and a hold position marking indicating where to stop.

What surface marking will be paintedacross Taxiway Lima abeam this red sign?

Do you have to stop:

If you’re operating at a towered airport?

If you’re operating at a non-towered airport?

ILS hold position marking


At some airports it may be necessary to hold an

aircraft on a taxiway at a location other than at the runway entrance if the ILS

is in use. Holding the taxiing aircraft at the ILS

hold point will preclude ILS signal interference with an

aircraft on ILS final approach.

Remember: Taxiing aircraft are required to hold at this position only if directed by

ATC.


What is POFZ?


x


Precision Obstacle Free Zone

x


The POFZ is defined as a volume of airspace above an area beginning at the runway threshold, at the threshold elevation, and centered on the extended runway centerline, 200 feet long by 800 feet wide. Maintaining the POFZ clear during low ceiling/low visibility conditions protects both the landing aircraft and

holding aircraft or vehicle.

The POFZ is in effect for vertically guided approaches when the ceiling is below 250 feet and/or visibility less than ¾ statute mile (or RVR below 4000 feet), and an aircraft is on final approach within two miles of the runway threshold.

x


When the POFZ is in effect, the wing of an aircraft holding on a taxiway waiting for runway clearance may penetrate the POFZ; however, neither the fuselage nor the tail may infringe on the POFZ. In addition, no ground vehicles may be in the POFZ when it is in effect.

Typical POFZ

400 Feet

200 F

ILS

Airports with a taxiway located prior to the runway threshold may result in an aircraft being located in the POFZ when it is active. POFZ holding

positions may be needed at these locations.

If the POFZ is already protected by an existing ILS glide slope critical area holding position, an additional POFZ holding position is not needed.

32 APCHA

You’re taxiing south on Taxiway A and notice this red sign. Do you have to stop?


x


32 APCH A

Taxiing aircraft are required to hold at this position ONLY if directed by ATC.

If directed, you are expected to stop at the 32 APCH hold sign on Taxiway A. ATC has you holding on Taxiway A because either the

approach or departure corridor for Runway 14/32 is active.


Intersection of Taxiways C, A, F, Runway 14R/32L, and Runway 18/36



“Mooney 2KT, contact Eppley tower 132.1”.

“Mooney 2KT, Eppley Tower 132.1”


“Eppley Tower, Mooney 2KT is with you 5 east”.

“Mooney 2KT, Eppley Tower, enter left downwind Runway 18”.


“Mooney 2KT, cleared to land 18.”

“2KT, 2 mile left base”.

C14L-32R

Readback of all hold short instructions is mandatory.


14R/32L

18/36

14L/32R

As you taxi closer to Runway 14L-32R, look for the runway hold sign, which provides the “VERTICAL development”

to identify the runway HOLD position. This will be the first “VISUAL” to indicate the hold position. The runway hold sign

will be visible before the hold markings.
