Beek Tower is responsible for traffic on the aprons, runway and in the EHBK Control Zone. It is Beek Tower's responsibility to safely, but expeditious, manage the flow of traffic: aircraft taxing to and from the runway, aircraft landing and taking off, aircraft entering, leaving or transiting through the CTR. Beek Tower will also cover the responsibilities of Beek Delivery in his absence
Tower is responsible for the usage of the runway, only one aircraft shall be cleared to use the runway at any time, only exemption is a line up behind a just departed or landed aircraft. The runway is considered to be clear when a airborne aircraft has passed either the runway end or runway sides or if a aircraft on the ground has passed a holding point line completely.
Before allowing an aircraft to enter the runway (for takeoff or lineup) tower shall:
There is no traffic on short final that will not be able to land due to the aircraft entering the runway.
Check if the runway is clear
Check if wake turbulence is no factor (this includes a previous touch and go, they are an arrival AND departure)
Issue any additional instructions
If required for safety Tower is allowed to revoke a takeoff clearance or have the pilot abort his takeoff. This can either be done by:
If the aircraft is not yet moving, cancellation of the takeoff clearance
If the aircraft is moving the abortion of the takeoff roll.
Keep in mind that if the pilot has passed his V1 speed (point of no return) he cannot abort his takeoff.
Arriving traffic (IFR) is handed to the tower controller either established on ILS/VOR/NDB final or with the runway in sight for a visual approach.
if possible issue a landing clearance
else tell the pilot to continue his approach and give him the number in sequence for landing (number 1 is the aircraft closest to but not yet passed the runway threshold, traffic on the runway does not add to this number)
The runway is clear
Tower has the authority to revoke a landing clearance, he can either do this by:
Cancelling the landing clearance, this will have the arrival continue his approach and could be used to have an other aircraft make a touch and go or departure in front of the arrival.
Issue a go around instruction, in this case the approach has to be aborted and the aircraft shall continue on the published missed approach or follow instructions of the tower.
VFR traffic will normally follow published VFR routes. Tower is allowed to deviate from this if traffic permits by agreeing on a different route with the pilot, if no satisfactory route can be agreed on VFR shall follow the published routes.
With the CTR class C Tower is responsible to separate IFR from VFR and vice versa, VFR flights have to separate themselves if traffic information is given to both VFR flights.VFR flights en-route and in the circuit can be delayed by giving an orbit, either at a reporting point or at a point in the circuit. VFR circuit traffic could also be delayed by extending there up or downwind leg, if the tower decides to extend he is responsible for turning the aircraft back to crosswind or base, and from there the VFR flight shall continue his circuit. The tower may clear the VFR flight to turn base behind an arriving aircraft when the VFR traffic has the other arrival in sight, if applicable the VFR flight has to be warned about wake turbulence.
If a circuit trainer gets to close to a preceding aircraft he can be cleared for a stop and go in stead of a touch and go, in this case tower informs the pilot this will be a touch and go and clears him to land, if spacing is sufficient tower issues a takeoff clearance.
Remarks on delay techniques:
Traffic in an orbit is unable to see other traffic, make sure there is sufficient space between multiple orbiting flights.
Do not let your circuit get to big! Every mile a flight has to extend he has to fly back.
NOTE: VFR circuit traffic either on touch or stop and go is considered an arrival and departure, therefore has to have sufficient wake turbulence separation with a preceding departure! Tower may hand this responsibility to the pilot by informing him of the heavier traffic ahead and issuing a clearance regarding that traffic and his wake.
At Beek runway 21 is preferred, with winds at or below 06kts runway 21 is to be used. With higher winds the runway that has the most headwind shall be used.
Tower is responsible for all ground traffic and hands out taxi clearances, a taxi clearance consists of:
Taxi to ... (location)
(runway if the location is a holding point)
via (taxi route)
Beek has the following arrival and departure route for VFR:
B
U
Z
The departure shall be flown at 1300ft; arrivals shall be flown at 1800ft.
Beek has three VFR circuits, one at 1300ft north/west of the runway for light aircraft at ATC discretion only, one normal circuit at 1300ft south/east of the runway for light aircraft and a big circuit at 1800ft south/east of the runway for small jets and turboprops.
Departures should be transferred to (in order of writing) as soon as practicable but before passing 2000 ft:
EHBK_APP
EHAA_SW_CTR
EHAA_CTR
If these are offline traffic may be transferred to there next station as follows
Traffic on the LNO SID to EBBU_CTR
Traffic heading towards Langen FIR to Langen Radar,
Traffic heading towards TMA D to EHVK_R_APP, EHMC_S_CTR, EHMC_CTR
