When EHR49 is active the AMGOD and IDRID SID cannot be used. BERGI will replaces AMGOD and IDRID will replaces VOLLA.

When EHR8A is active the AMGOD SID cannot be used. BERGI will replaces AMGOD.

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.

  • If so an arrival shall if possible be delayed (VFR circuit/extend downwind).
  • if this is not possible the aircraft shall not be allowed on the runway.

Before issuing a departure clearance (takeoff clearance) tower shall:

• 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

Cancellation of a takeoff clearance.

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.

Arrivals

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.

Tower shall on initial contact with the arrival:

• 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)

Before issuing a landing clearance tower shall check that:

• The runway is clear

Cancellation of a landing clearance:

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

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.

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.

Local Procedures

Runway selection

The runway depends on the wind.

Ground movement

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)

Circuit and VFR routes

Lelystad has the following arrival and departure route for VFR:

• B

• M

The B departure and arrival shall be flown at 1000ft.

The M departure and arrival shall be flown at 1500ft.

Lelystad has one VFR circuit at 500ft.

MIKE DEPARTUE AND BRAVO ARRIVAL ARE TEMPORARILY OUT OF USE

Handovers

Departures should be transferred to (in order of writing) as soon as practicable but before passing 2000ft:
