5 1 Newcastle 1.1 General Introduction Newcastle Airport is a growing regional airport located in the North East of England. It is located 5 miles North West of the City Centre and is connected to Newcastle via road, bus and Metro links Aerodrome Geographical Data Aerodrome Reference Point Location Elevation Transition Alt QFE N W (Runway Midpoint) 5nm NW of Newcastle-upon-Tyne 266 ft 6000ft QNH minus 9 millibars ATC Positions Service Designation Callsign Frequency EGNT_R_APP Newcastle Radar (App/Dir combined) MHZ EGNT_APP Newcastle Approach MHz EGNT_F_APP Newcastle Director MHz EGNT_TWR Newcastle Tower MHz EGNT_GND Newcastle Ground MHz EGNT_ATIS Newcastle ATIS MHz Radio Navigation and Landing Aids Type Ident Frequency Remarks ILS 07 INWC MHz CAT III 3 glideslope ILS 25 INC MHz CAT II 3 glideslope VOR NEW MHz VOR NDB NEW 352KHz Rwy 25 NDB WZ 416KHz Rwy Runway Physical Characteristics Runway Magnetic Bearing Dimensions Surface x 46 Asphalt x 46 Asphalt 5 / 20

6 1.2 Division of Responsibility Aerodrome Control The Ground Controller (EGNT_GND MHz) is responsible for passing IFR and VFR departure clearances, and all aircraft ground movement except for movement on the runway. The Air Controller (EGNT_TWR MHz) is responsible for the runway, including landing and take-off clearances as well as aircraft crossing the runway. The Air Controller is also responsible for the ATZ and for providing an ATS to any aircraft operating within the Visual Circuit. The ATIS is to be maintained by Air. Due to the limited traffic at Newcastle Airport the Ground position is usually bandboxed onto the Air position. The Ground position is only opened if the airport if extremely busy or during an event Approach Control The Approach Controller (EGNT_APP MHz) shall provide a RCS to all aircraft flying within the airspace designated as the Newcastle CTR (Class D), the Newcastle CTA (Class D), the P18 airway (Class D) to the South and the portion of the P18 airway (Class A) to the South which has been delegated to Newcastle ATC by Area Control. Aircraft flying outside CAS may be given an ATSOCAS service subject to communications, radar coverage and workload. Departing aircraft are subject to release from Approach due to the proximity of inbounds. Upon transfer from Tower, Approach shall validate and verify the SSR data of IFR departing aircraft. Departures are to be positioned and climbed according to agreements with Area Control (or as coordinated) and transferred once clean of inbound traffic descended below the inbound agreed levels. Inbound aircraft will be transferred from Area Control to Approach positioned according to the established agreements. Approach shall present traffic to Director, as coordinated, correctly sequenced and clean of departing traffic. If Director is unable to accept further inbounds, Approach is to initiate airborne holding as appropriate. The Final Director (EGNT_F_APP MHz) is responsible for the final approach sequencing of Newcastle inbound traffic. The initial approach sequencing will be conducted by the Approach controller, and aircraft will be transferred as individually coordinated. Inbound aircraft must be presented to the Air Controller on final approach at a minimum of 6 miles in trail unless the Air Controller has agreed to reduced spacing. The Air Controller may also request increased spacing. When the Approach and Director positions are combined, the controller is to log in as EGNT_R_APP ( Newcastle Radar ). 6 / 20

7 1.2.3 P18 Delegated Airspace The P18 airway from NATEB to TILNI is delegated by MAN_E_CTR to Newcastle ATC up to FL165. The P18 airway from TILNI to UVAVU is delegated by MAN_E_CTR to Newcastle ATC up to FL125. Newcastle Area of Responsibility including delegated airspace Extended Coverage Over Durham ATC Newcastle Radar/Approach shall assume top-down responsibility for all services provided by Durham ATC when Durham positions are not manned. 7 / 20

8 1.3 Departing IFR Traffic Airways Departures Airways departures shall be given one of the following (non-sid) standard departure routes.

Aircraft must be FL140 or above 5 miles before TILNI unless coordinated with Durham Approach Non-Airways Departures Non-Airways and IFR circuit clearances are to be requested from Approach. The clearance passed will depend on the current traffic situation, but due to noise requirements aircraft must not be instructed to turn before: - Rwy 07 - left 2DME, right 3.5DME; - Rwy 25 - left 1.5DME, right 4DME. All departures are subject to release from Approach. 1.4 Arriving IFR Traffic Inbounds Transferred by Area Control Aircraft approaching via L602/P18 (from the North) or P18 (from the South) airways will be transferred by Area Control in accordance with established agreements: - Via L602/P18 North - Transferred by SCO_CTR descending FL170. Newcastle will descend the aircraft out of CAS at the earliest opportunity; - Via P18 - Transferred by MAN_E_CTR descending FL160, positioned on a heading to pass at least 5 miles East of TILNI. Aircraft must not be descended below FL140 until 5 miles North of the Durham extended centreline unless coordinated with Durham Approach Descent Planning To assist in the calculation of Continuous Descent Approach profiles, the following levels are recommended: - Abeam UVAVU - FL140 - Abeam GIRLI - FL Inbounds from Outside CAS Aircraft inbound to Newcastle from outside CAS via OTR are recommended to route to NATEB and request CAS join from London (Mil) or Newcastle Approach as appropriate. Aircraft inbound via DCS are recommended to route to NATEB and request CAS join from Scottish ACC or Newcastle Approach as appropriate. Aircraft inbound from other directions should request clearance to enter the Newcastle CTR/CTA at least 10 minutes before reaching the CAS boundary. 9 / 20
