GENERAL
AIRPORT
- ELEVATION 15 FT AMSL
- AIRPORT RESTRICTED HOURS
* No flight will be permitted to Take off or Landing 1700-2200 U except emergency.
ARRIVALS
EXPECTED RUNWAY
- RWY 13 / 31
ARRIVAL
- IGS 13: The IGS for Runway 13 is an Instrument Landing System in a non-standard installation configuration. It is offset from the landing direction by 47°, necessitating a visual right turn to line up with the runway after passing the Middle Maker.
- RWY 13 VISUAL STEP DOWN: The following landmarks are known by heart: Cheung Chau 'CC' or 'CH', Green Island, Stonecutters Island and the Checker Board. Reduce speed when shuttling down over Cheung Chau due to high ground.
- ILS 31: The approach wil be monitored by PAR when cloud ceiling is 1000FT or less and/or visibility 5KM or less.
- RWY 31 VISUAL APCH: The following landmarks are known by heart: Waglan, Cape D’Aguillar, White Cliffs, Cape Collinson and the Lei Mun Gap.
- SPEED AND ALTITUDE RESTRICTIONS:
* MANDATORY: Speed and/or altitude restrictions shall always be complied with as published unless restrictions are specifically cancelled by ATC or the SID/STAR is cancelled by, for instance, assignment of a radar heading. * DESCENT: Refer to Nav Chart.
CAUTION
- TERRAIN: within 10 NM to the north and south up to 3,280 FT. 25 NM TH VOR MSA is 4,300 FT.
- WINDSHEAR AND TURBULENCE: possible on all RWYs with strong wind due local terrain and adjacent buildings.
- RWY 13 MISSED APCH: In carrying out the missed approach procedure, the right turn must be made at MM (2.2 NM from 'KL' DME if MM is unserviceable) as any early or late turn will result in loss of terrain clearance. After passing the MM, flight path indications must be ignored.
NOISE ABATEMENT
- BTW 2301 to 0700 LT: RWY 31 preferred, wind conditions permitting.
SPEED CONTROL
- 250 KTS within 30 NM 'CH' DME for RWY 13 or 'TH' DME for RWY 31.
- 180 KTS within 15 NM from touchdown (15 'KL' DME for RWY 13 or 15 'IHK' DME for RWY 13).
- 160 KTS to cross 'OM' (or 'TH'/'TP' for RWY 31 PAR APCH).
ALTERNATES=
- PRIMARY ALTERNATE: Macao (VMMC/MFM) for all aircraft types except B747-8. Macao will be used when the weather conditions permit approaches to RWY 34. If the weather forecast indicates only MFM RWY 16 would be available then another alternate should be selected.
DEPARTURES
PREFLIGHT
- DEPARTURE VIA BEKOL: contact Delivery 15 minutes prior to pushback to ascertain possible Flow Control delays and restrictions. Expect to cross BEKOL at 3600 M (FL117) or above.
- DEPARTURES TO ZSPD AND ZBAA: contact Delivery to ascertain current delays and restrictions.
EXPECTED RUNWAY
- RWY 13 / 31
DEPARTURE
- RWY 13, pilots shall report:
* Crossing 'TH'/'TP'; * Maintaining 7000FT; * Leaving 7000FT; * Maintaining FL140; and * Established on assigned radial from 'CH' VOR.
- RWY 31, pilots shall report:
* Crossing 'CH' VOR; * Maintaining 9000FT; * Leaving 9000FT; * Maintaining FL110; and * Established on assigned radial from 'CH' VOR.
CAUTION
- TERRAIN: within 10 NM to the north and south up to 3,280 FT. 25 NM TH VOR MSA is 4,300 FT.
- WINDSHEAR: possible on all RWYs with strong wind due local terrain and adjacent buildings.
NOISE ABATEMENT
- RWY 13 preferred, wind conditions permitting.
- BTW 0001 to 0630 LT: RWY 13, under any circumstances. (RWY 31 is not permitted.)
SPEED CONTROL
- MAX 250 KTS at or below 10,000 FT.
- CANCEL SPEED CONTROL: immediate acceleration is available at any point on the departure after ATC cancel speed control. ATC will already have calculated that the aircraft will remain within the departure terrain safety area with allowances for climb performance, wind and higher departure speed.
FIR RESTRICTIONS
- CRUISING LEVEL: to ensure efficient coordination with adjacent ATC units, all departing aircraft are required to reach assigned cruising levels at or before the specified reporting points. Refer DEPARTURE Transition charts. Failure to reach assigned levels may result in the loss of standard separation. Inform ATC as soon as possible if unable so an alternative clearance can be coordinated.
- VIA DOTMI: northbound departures can expect the following assigned cruising levels:
* To Xiamen: 6900 M (FL226) or 7500 M (FL246) * To Shanghai: FL330 or FL410. Ensure ATC are advised early if extra track miles are required.
