EHKD AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

  1. Intensive training operations with helicopters and light aircraft. Light aircraft and model flying daily outside OPR HR. Glider site Noordkop is located 8 NM E of ARP, just outside the CTR.
  2. VFR traffic crossing the CTR shall be carried out via the VFR reporting points (see visual approach chart) at 1500 ft AMSL, unless otherwise instructed or approved by ATC.
  3. Visual traffic circuit: RWY 03 right-hand 1000 ft AMSL; RWY 21 left-hand 1000 ft AMSL.
  4. Overflying the gas plant (0.5 NM east of ARP) is prohibited.

EHKD AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1 LIMITATIONS
  1. Avoid overflying Den Helder 2 NM NNW of ARP.
  2. Built-up areas shall be avoided as much as possible.
  3. Avoid overflying campsite SE of FOXTROT below 1500 ft AMSL.

EHKD AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
1.1 ATC en route clearance

ATC will issue an en route permission as soon as possible after taxi permission has been given.

An en route clearance contains:

  1. Clearance limit: airport of destination.
  2. Departure instructions.
  3. SSR code.

Example of an en route clearance: "RNN345 is cleared to London, SPY 3000 ft, squawk 2123".

1.2 General remarks
1.2.1 North Sea operations and helicopter main routes (HMR)

North Sea operations and HMR are described in ENR 2.2, ENR 3.4 and on chart ENR 6-3.1.

1.2.2 VOR radial interception angle

VOR radial interception angle: in principle 45°.

If the indicated angle exceeds 45° initiate turn in due time in order not to overshoot the radial.

1.3 Maximum speed

MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100 unless otherwise instructed.

1.4 Transfer of control

Transfer of control will be effected on the basis of current traffic situation and co-ordination between the units involved.

Traffic via the Schiphol TMAs will be transferred to Schiphol Departure.

1.5 Communication failure

See ENR 1.3.

1.6 SID descriptions
1.6.1 General remarks
  • Transition altitude: 3000 ft AMSL.
  • Turn radii based on a 18° bank angle and 125 KIAS.
  • Procedures are designated for helicopters only.
  • RNAV: The Netherlands encourages the use of RNAV routes stored in a pre-programmed navigation database on board of aircraft. Although there may be differences between the RNAV and conventional description of a route (vertically: turn altitudes and/or laterally: turn anticipation effects), the resulting flight paths are considered identical by ATC. Therefore, flying the route using the RNAV coding from the navigation database will not result in route violations.
    Furthermore:
    • Connect FMS as early as possible.
    • The EH-waypoints shall not be used in RTF procedures.
    • Turn anticipation is mandatory for all waypoints except those which are underlined, these waypoints shall be overflown.
    • The navigation aid (e.g. VOR) mentioned in the column "Expected path terminator" is for selection of MAG station declination only.
1.6.2 Specific remarks
  1. Only for off-shore helicopters.
  2. Only AVBL when northern part of EHR8 (North of 52°58'N) is not active.
  3. Only AVBL when middle part of EHR8 (between 52°51'N and 52°58'N) is not active.
  4. Only AVBL when southern part of EHR8 (South of 52°51'N) is not active.

2 INITIAL APPROACH PROCEDURES
2.1 Inbound clearance

A clearance will be issued by Amsterdam ACC or MILATCC Schiphol, containing:

  1. Clearance limit: HDR.
  2. Route.
  3. Flight level.
2.2 Maximum speed

MAX 250 KIAS below FL 100.

2.3 Transfer of control

Inbound traffic will be transferred by Amsterdam ACC or MILATCC Schiphol to De Kooy Arrival (traffic via Schiphol will be transferred to Schiphol Approach).

2.4 Approach instructions

Approach instructions will contain as applicable:

  1. Additional instructions with respect to route and level.
  2. Approach procedure.
  3. Runway in use.
  4. QNH.
  5. Transition level.
  6. MET information.
  7. Aerodrome information and other information.
2.5 Radar service

During the initial approach radar service may be provided by Amsterdam ACC, MILATCC Schiphol, Schiphol APP or De Kooy Arrival.

2.6 Diversion to AMSTERDAM/Schiphol (EHAM)

In case landing at EHKD with a helicopter is not possible and EHAM is filed as alternate aerodrome, there is a diversion route to EHAM RWY 22 (see chart AD 2.EHAM-IAC-22.2).
De Kooy Approach will transfer this traffic to Schiphol Approach before NIDOP (TMA boundary).
When EHAM RWY 22 is not available, execute a circling procedure to EHAM RWY 27 unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

ROUTE: NIDOP transition
Intercept HDR 154 before NIDOP at 2000 ft AMSL. At 21.1 HDR turn right to track 178° MAG to intercept ILS RWY 22.

RNAV: HDR / NIDOP / EH409 / EH410 / EH661 (FAF RWY 22).

2.7 Communication failure
2.7.1 General

The pilot of an IFR flight shall follow the general procedures for IFR flights of the paragraph ‘Communication Failure’ in ENR 1.3. In addition, for arriving flights, the following communication failure procedures apply.

2.7.2 Inbound clearance not received
  • Proceed according the current flight plan route to HDR VOR.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
  • After arrival over HDR, intercept the holding pattern.
  • Commence descent to 2000 ft AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over HDR.
  • After reaching 2000 ft AMSL leave HDR and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the appropriate runway (see charts AD 2.EHKD-IAC-xx.x).
2.7.3 Inbound clearance received
  • Proceed according the current flight plan route to the HDR VOR.
  • Maintain the last cleared and acknowledged flight level or altitude.
  • After arrival over the clearance limit, intercept the associated holding pattern.
  • Commence descent to 2000 ft AMSL at the EAT last received and acknowledged.
  • When no EAT has been received and acknowledged, commence descent to 2000 ft AMSL at or as near as possible to the ETO over the clearance limit.
  • After reaching 2000 ft AMSL leave the holding and carry out an instrument approach procedure to the assigned runway (see charts AD 2.EHKD-IAC-xx.x).
3 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

During periods of low visibility the overall ATC capacity could be reduced. To guarantee aircraft safety and optimal use of ATC capacity, De Kooy uses low visibility procedures. When the visibility falls below 1500 m and the ceiling becomes equal to or below 600 ft1) cautionary measures are taken.

Four low visibility phases are recognised:

PhaseConditionsProcedure
  1. In contrast to Annex 2 military aerodromes define ceiling as 3/8 (SCT) or more.
ARVR >= 1100 m
Lowest RVR <= 1500 m and/or ceiling <= 600 ft1)
No opposite take-off and landings.
BRVR >= 600 m
Lowest RVR <= 1100 m and/or ceiling <= 300 ft1)
All WIP on airside will be terminated during aircraft movements.
Seperation between fixed-wing aircraft, and between fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters will be increased to 8 NM.
CRVR >= 300 m
Lowest RVR <= 550 m and/or ceiling <= 300 ft1)
Departures only. Traffic will be reduced to "one movement a time".
DLowest RVR < 300 mThe airport is below operational minima for arriving and departing aircraft.
4 VFR FLIGHT PROCEDURES
visual approach chart see AD 2.EHKD-VAC
4.1 VFR departures
  1. Unless otherwise instructed or approved climb after take-off to 1000 ft AMSL.
  2. Departure routes:
    • ECHO departure: proceed via BRAVO to ECHO.
    • OSCAR departure: proceed via HOTEL to OSCAR.
    • WHISKEY departure: proceed via HOTEL to WHISKEY.
    • ZULU departure: proceed via ROMEO to ZULU.
    ATC discretion only, when EHR8 (partly) inactive:
    • FOXTROT departure: proceed via FOXTROT to the CTR boundary.
    • MIKE departure: proceed via HOTEL and MIKE to the CTR boundary.
  3. Leave the CTR via the designated reporting points.
4.2 VFR approach procedures
  1. Contact De Kooy TWR 2 minutes before reaching the CTR boundary for permission to enter the CTR.
  2. Unless otherwise instructed, enter the CTR via designated reporting points (see visual approach chart) at 1500 ft AMSL and maintain.
  3. Descent to circuit altitude according the joining procedure which will be instructed by ATC:
    1. Overhead joining (1500 ft AMSL): report overhead, join downwind and descend to 1000 ft AMSL.
    2. Direct joining (ATC discretion only): after passing one of the points BRAVO, FOXTROT, HOTEL, or ROMEO, join the circuit and descend to circuit altitude as instructed by ATC.
  4. VFR arrivals:
    • ECHO arrival: proceed via ECHO to BRAVO.
    • OSCAR arrival: proceed via OSCAR to HOTEL.
    • WHISKEY arrival: proceed via WHISKEY to HOTEL.
    • ZULU arrival: proceed via ZULU to ROMEO.
    ATC discretion only, when EHR8 (partly) inactive:
    • FOXTROT arrival: at CTR boundary proceed to FOXTROT.
    • MIKE arrival: at CTR boundary proceed via MIKE to HOTEL.

EHKD AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
