EHTW AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

Aircraft to and from Twente Airport need prior permission from the airport operator (PPR 24 hrs).

EHTW AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

To avoid the build-up areas of Enschede and Oldenzaal, noise abatement procedures have been introduced for arrivals and departures (see EHTW AD 2.22). Intersection departures are not allowed for turbine-engined aircraft. They shall use full runway length.

EHTW AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 VFR FLIGHT PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS
1.1 General

The ATZ/RMZ Twente is active during operational hours of the aerodrome within UDP. For the lateral and vertical limits of ATZ/RMZ Twente see AD 2.EHTW-VAC.2. Traffic not in- or outbound Twente Airport is strongly advised not to enter the ATZ.

Contact Twente Radio before entering the ATZ Twente or before departing Twente Airport and state your intentions. Twente Radio responds with aerodrome information. Twente Radio is strictly informative.

Two circuit areas have been established at Twente Airport.

  • Circuit area north of the runway is intended for local flying clubs, visiting aircraft of ICAO approach category A, or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part NCO.
  • Circuit area south of the runway is intended for aircraft types of ICAO aircraft approach category B and C, or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part CAT or NCC.
Both circuit areas may not be overflown below an altitude of 2200 ft AMSL (2085 ft AAL).

For circuit area north the standard circuit procedure is applicable (see ENR 1.2 paragraph 8). The circuit altitude is 1000 ft AMSL (885 ft AAL). The visual traffic circuit must be carried out within the lateral limits of the circuit area appropriate to the runway in use.

For circuit area south non-standard circuit procedures are applicable. The circuit altitude is 1700 ft AMSL (1585 ft AAL). The visual traffic circuit must be carried out by reference to the prescribed tracks appropriate to the runway in use.

for co-ordinates of waypoints see ENR 4.4.

The visual departure procedures are specified in paragraph 1.2. Traffic in circuit area north leaves the circuit by one of the exits indicated on the circuit area at the AD 2.EHTW-VAC.2. Traffic in circuit area south leaves the circuit via BEKVU.

The visual approach procedures are specified in paragraph 1.3. Noise abatement has been included in the procedures. Therefore pilots shall adhere to the VFR traffic circuit, arrival and departure procedures as depicted. Built-up areas shall be avoided as much as possible.

1.2 Visual departure procedures
1.2.1 Category B and C aircraft on a Z flight plan, or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part CAT or NCC
for the visual approach chart, waypoints and traffic circuits see AD 2.EHTW-VAC.1.

Twente Radio will relay the IFR en route clearance of MILATCC Schiphol to the pilot before departure. For noise abatement reasons the VFR departure procedure shall be followed to at least BEKVU.

1.2.1.1 RWY 05
  • Climb on runway track.
  • At 600 ft AMSL (485 ft AAL) but not before end of RWY 05, turn right to BEKVU with MAX 160 KIAS and climb to 3000 ft AMSL.
  • At BEKVU proceed to RKN VOR/DME and remain VMC below FL 065.
  • Contact Dutch MIL and proceed in accordance with IFR clearance.
1.2.1.2 RWY 23
  • Climb on runway track to 3000 ft AMSL.
  • Proceed BEKVU – RKN (VOR/DME) and remain VMC below FL 065 in the Nieuw Milligen TMA C.
  • Contact Dutch MIL and proceed in accordance with IFR clearance.
1.2.2 Category A aircraft or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part NCO
for the visual approach chart, waypoints and traffic circuits see AD 2.EHTW-VAC.2.
  • Intersection departures are permitted for piston-engine aircraft after approval from the AD operator.
  • After take-off climb to 1000 ft AMSL (885 ft AAL) and leave the circuit area as depicted on AD-2 EHTW-VAC.2.
1.2.3 Communication failure during departure
  • In VMC below FL 065: return to BEKVU and land via BEKVU arrival on runway in use.
  • In IMC and above FL 065: follow route according to route clearance and flight plan as prescribed by ICAO (Doc 4444 PANS ATM).
1.3 Visual approach procedures
1.3.1 Category B and C aircraft on an IFR/VFR flight plan, or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part CAT or NCC
for the visual approach chart, waypoints and traffic circuits see AD 2.EHTW-VAC.1.
1.3.1.1 RWY 05
  • Proceed to BEKVU at 2000 ft AMSL (1885 ft AAL) in VMC, cancel IFR before arriving at BEKVU and continue VFR.
  • Descend to 1700 ft AMSL (1585 ft AAL) when established on the nominal track between BEKVU and TUXAR.
  • Intercept runway track and initiate final descent in accordance with the PAPI from 1700 ft AMSL (1585 ft AAL).
1.3.1.2 Missed approach RWY 05
  • Remain VMC, maintain runway track and climb to 1700 ft AMSL.
  • At the end of RWY 05 (but not below 600 ft AMSL) turn right to BEKVU with MAX 160 KIAS.
  • Contact Dutch MIL.
  • At BEKVU 1700 ft AMSL (MAX 185 KIAS), continue on heading 265 to carry out procedure turn inbound BEKVU 2000 ft AMSL and execute the approach procedure again. If required, Dutch MIL will provide radar vectors.
1.3.1.3 RWY 23
  • Proceed to BEKVU at 2000 ft AMSL (1885 ft AAL) in VMC, cancel IFR before BEKVU and continue VFR.
  • Descend to 1700 ft AMSL (1585 ft AAL) when established on the nominal track between BEKVU and TUXAR.
  • Proceed TUXAR – LONLU – LUTET at 1700 ft AMSL (1585 ft AAL) with MAX 160 KIAS.
  • At LUTET start turn to base leg and descend to final.
  • Intercept runway axis and PAPI slope at approximately 1200 ft AMSL.
1.3.1.4 Missed approach RWY 23
  • Remain VMC, maintain runway track and climb to 1700 ft AMSL.
  • Contact Dutch MIL.
  • At BEKVU 1700 ft AMSL (MAX 185 KIAS), continue on heading 265 to carry out procedure turn inbound BEKVU 2000 ft AMSL and execute the approach procedure again. If required, Dutch MIL will provide radar vectors.

for the visual approach chart, waypoints and traffic circuits see AD 2.EHTW-VAC.2.
  • Contact Twente Radio for aerodrome information.
  • Proceed at 1500 ft AMSL (1385 ft AAL) via TANGO to X-RAY.
  • After X-RAY descend to 1000 ft AMSL (885 ft AAL) and proceed via YANKEE and OSCAR to join the VFR circuit.
  • In case of a missed approach: climb according to standard procedure, within the circuit area, via crosswind to 1000 ft AMSL (885 ft AAL) at downwind.
  • The circuit altitude is 1000 ft AMSL (885 ft AAL).

EHTW AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1 CAUTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
  1. All flight crew of aircraft ICAO approach category B and C, or aircraft operated in accordance with EASA Part CAT or NCC must have read the local briefing and completed the mandatory test prior operation to Twente Airport. This local briefing is available on request from the AD operator.
    When passing the test, the AD operator will issue a permission to the pilot concerned to operate to Twente Airport. The permission remains valid for 1 year and is automatically renewed after each visit. Failure to return the completed test to the AD operator will result in a refusal of the PPR approval.
  2. Glider flying may take place daily. The winch cable is a dangerous obstacle up to 2200 ft AMSL. The glider launching area's must be avoided.
  3. Grass cutting may take place at irregular times.
