1.1 About Local Regulations 1.1.1 The Local Regulations are the directives from CPH on operational matters, flight safety, traffic etc. on airside at Copenhagen Airport (EKCH), which are issued with formal reference to BL11-1 (CAA Aerodrome Regulations for Copenhagen Airport). 1.1.2 In the Local Regulations, the abbreviation CPH always refers to the company, "Copenhagen Airports A/S" (i.e. the airport operator). Note: Although the abbreviation CPH also exists as an IATA location identifier, this abbreviation will never be used in the Local Regulations as reference to the aerodrome (Copenhagen Airport). 1.1.3 In case of interpretational doubts or errors regarding any paragraph within the Local Regulations, the Danish version of the text will always be authoritative. 1.1.4 Amendments changing the textual content of a paragraph will be indicated by a vertical line in the left margin beside the text. In case a new paragraph number is introduced or a paragraph number has been changed, this will be indicated by an asterisk (*) ahead of the paragraph number. 1.1.5 Permanent revisions can be made only by CPH/Airside Safety. Temporary changes to the regulations are published via Airside Information and Safety Alerts which will be distributed via email to registered recipients within and outside the airport according to an e-mail distribution list at CPH/Airside Safety. 1.1.6 Major revisions as regard contents to the Local Regulations will be notified via the CPH website www.cph.dk. (B2B/Access, traffic and education/local regulations and appendices/notified amendments). 1.1.7 Only the Aerodrome Manager, the Traffic Manager or the CPH duty Airport Manager (VLC) can give exemptions from these regulations. Permanent revisions are made by CPH/Airside Safety. 1.2 Appendices to the Local Regulations For Local Regulations are also a number of supplements (appendix) with detailed descriptions of particularly important precautions on airside.

Aircraft, vehicles or persons must not enter the runway area without explicit permission from the control tower. Vehicle Pass All registered vehicles entering airside must be equipped with a vehicle pass issued by CPH. For vehicles exempted from license registration fee, cf. BL11-1, para 8.2, their special red number plates constitute a valid vehicle pass. All inquiries regarding vehicle passes should be made to the ID card Office. Application can be made electronically via the CPH website, www.cph.dk/en/about-cph/b2b/traffic-and-access/ BL3-12 Work Activities Planned work activities on the airport s closed areas (airside) which are carried out according to BL3-12 and which may influence the aircraft movements. Although grass mowing along runways is not covered by the BL3-12 regulations, these activities will for practical reasons be carried out as a BL3-12 activity, i.e. pre-planned and coordinated via CPH Airside Safety. Apron A designated section of the airport, which is meant for aircraft whilst loading or unloading passengers or freight, refuelling, parking or ground servicing. CPH Local Regulations Airside Safety (TRO) November, 01.2016 1-3
Airside Traffic Permit A personal permit, which documents that the holder has passed the required theoretical and practical airside training to frequent - on foot, driving on his/her own on airside. The level of the permit appears from a number in the DRIVER column on the airport ID-card. Enrolling for an initial or refresher training course can take place via the CPH website, www.cph.dk/en/about-cph/b2b/traffic-and-access/traffic/ordinary-traffic/ Ground Handling Ground handling of aircraft is defined as servicing, refuelling, loading and unloading of the aircraft while parked on the ground, including the embarkation and disembarkation of its passengers. Handling Vehicles and Equipment Handling vehicles and equipment which are used for ground handling of aircraft, e.g. special purpose vehicles, passenger stairs, conveyor belts, baggage trolleys, pallet dollies, GPUs, tow bars, jet starters, movable stairs, lifts, aircraft tow tractors, ramp tractors, fuel dispensers, bowsers, catering vehicles, high loaders, crew cars, marshaller vehicles, main deck loaders as well as various types of minivans (e.g. VW Caddy) used as support vehicles during training of operators of single-driver handling equipment. Service Roads Roads within apron areas primarily reserved for traffic by vehicles and equipment, which take part in the ground handling of aircraft. The service roads are typically situated along the rear edge of the aircraft stands, and the users are required to possess a Class 2 Airside Traffic Permit. ILS-area An area around the localizer and glide path antennas of the instrument landing system, where any movement may interfere with the signal transmission. Aircraft, vehicles, or persons must not enter ILS areas without explicit permission from the control tower. In the terrain, ILS areas are marked either by yellow sticks with red reflex tape (critical area) or by red sticks with white reflex tape (sensitive area). Inspection Vehicle Any vehicle which regardless of its category or ownership is used in connection with inspection tasks on airside, authorized by CPH. Escorting and accompanying Escorting and accompanying (direction) either by car or on foot of persons or vehicles on airside. Manoeuvring Area A designated section of the airport used for take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons. Maintenance Area A designated section of the airport used for long-term parking or maintenance of aircraft, and where loading and unloading of passengers for commercial purposes shall not take place. Runway Safety Zone A designated zone around a runway, the purpose of which is to reduce the risk of damages to aircraft deviating from the runway and protecting aircraft during take-off and landing. The zone extends 150 metres from the runway centre line and 60 metres from each runway end. For all work activities close to a runway, restrictions are in force for all ground movements within this zone, cf. BL3-12. Aircraft Stand Reference Point (SRP) The geometric centre of the aircraft stand centre line. The geographical location of this point is indicated by the coordinates displayed under or over the aircraft stand identification sign and it appears from AIP Denmark. Time References All times stated are Danish local time, i.e. UTC+1 hour, and UTC+2 hours during the Daylight Saving Time period. CPH Local Regulations Airside Safety (TRO) November, 01.2016 1-4
