GVAC  AD 2.20  LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

1.  Aerodrome regulations

Night - Stop parking are located on stands 01, 07 and TWY A2, thereof, the use of TWY A2 by aircraft require prior coordination and TWR authorization.

2.  Taxiing to and from stands

Arriving aircraft will be allocated a stand number by the SMC and will always be guided by the marshaller’s assistance.

3.  Parking area for small aircraft (general aviation)

General Aviation aircraft shall be guided by marshallers to the parking area for small aircraft.

4.  Parking area for helicopters

9.  Removal of disabled aircraft from runways

When an aircraft is wrecked on a runway, it is the duty of the owner or user of such aircraft to have it removed as soon as possible. If a wrecked aircraft is not removed from the runway as quickly as possible by the owner or user, the aircraft will be removed by the aerodrome authority at the owner’s expenses.

10.  Nose - In parking

Nose - In parking in use on stands 01 - 07 included. Stands 01 and 07 will also be used for parallel parking. Pilots will be guided by marshallers.

1.1  Radar Vectoring Area

NIL

1.2  Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA):

Three sectors within a circle of 20 NM centred on VOR / DME CVS:

  • NE sector between R360 and R090 - 2700 FT

  • South sector between R090 and R270 - 1700 FT

  • NW sector between R270 and R360 - 2000 FT

2.  Procedures for IFR flights within SAL CTR

The inbound, transit and outbound routes shown on the charts may be varied at the discretion of ATS if necessary. In case of congestion, inbound aircraft may also be instructed to hold at one of the designated airways reporting points. All arriving traffic destined for GVAC and GVBA aerodromes shall be at MAX IAS 250 KTS from 30 DME CVS.

3.  Radar procedures within SAL CTR
3.1  Radar vectoring and sequencing:

Radar service is available for vectoring and sequencing aircraft (see GEN 1.5.3.1 and GEN 1.5.3.2).

Normally, aircraft will be vectored and sequenced from any point of a STAR procedure to the appropriate final approach track, so as to ensure an expeditious flow of traffic. Radar vectors and flight levels / altitudes will be issued, as required, for spacing, and separation of aircraft, so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking into account aircraft characteristics.

Within SAL TMA radar vectoring will be provided only at or above 1700 FT. Below that altitude only radar monitoring of air traffic will be provided.

Note: Details for the provision of radar services are described in ENR 1.6.

3.2  Surveillance radar approaches:

Radar service is available for surveillance radar approaches (see GEN 1.5.3.1 and GEN 1.5.3.2)

3.3  Precision radar approach

NIL

3.4  Communication failure

In the event of communication failure, the pilot shall act in accordance with communication failure procedures in ICAO Annex 2. For the SAL TMA, information concerning the associated navigation aids and the routing is given in ENR 4.1.1.ENR 4.1

4.  Procedures for VFR flights within SAL CTR

Provided traffic conditions so permit, ATC clearance for VFR flights will be given under the conditions described below:

  1. A flight plan requesting ATC clearance, containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight, shall be submitted.

  2. ATC clearance shall be obtained immediately before the aircraft enters the area concerned.

  3. Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with ICAO Annex 2 paragraph 3.6.3.

  4. Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.

  5. Two-way radio communication shall be maintained on the frequency prescribed. Information about the appropriate frequency can be obtained form Sal Information.

GVAC  AD 2.23  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In accordance with Cape Verde aeronautical code for slot regulation have changed from level 2 to level 3 scheduling coordinated airports by degree law 10 / 2016, of February 22, with effect from winter 2017. Request for slots shall be filled in standard IATA format (standard schedules information manual, chapter 6, and worldwide scheduling guidelines) to slot.coordination@asa.cv.
