Budapest ACC and Budapest TRCC will normally use radar derived information in the provision of air traffic control services.
For more details See ENR 2.1
The following R/T procedures shall be applied by aircraft operating under radar control within Budapest FIR
Note: The requirement to report receipt of ATIS broadcast at first contact on 129,700 MHz (APP) when entering Budapest TMA and on 134,550 MHz (Budapest Delivery) before starting up engines by reading back the relevant designator of information and actual QNH is not affected by the above procedure.
In the event of radar failure or loss of radar identity of an aircraft under radar control will be advised immediately of the interruption or termination of radar control and as an emergency measure reduced vertical separation (500 feet at/or below FL410 and 1000 feet above FL410) may be resorted to as necessary until standard non-radar separation can be provided or radar control is resumed.
In the case of complete aircraft communication failure the pilot shall carry out the procedures detailed in PANS ATM (ICAO Doc 4444) Chapter 15, paragraph 15.3.
Radar data from 2 radar stations which are equipped with both primary and secondary radars will be used.
Position in WGS-84 | Püspökladány (Budapest - East Radar) 472122.90N 0210239.06E | Kőrishegy (Budapest - West Radar) 471738.96N 0174512.89E | |
---|---|---|---|
Range | RSR | 160NM | 160NM |
SSR | 200NM | 200NM |
A TAR station of Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport is equipped with both primary and secondary radars.
Position in WGS-84 | Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest - Terminal Area Surveillance Radar) TAR1 - 472650.8091N 0191546.6990E TAR2 - 472517.4060N 0191812.3400E | |
---|---|---|
Range | TAR | 60NM |
SSR | 150NM |
Note: The tolerance value of level indications for ATS units is 300 feet. When a discrepancy is in excess of this tolerance value, the ATS units may request to stop Mode “C” transmission. If switching off Mode “C” transmission interrupts the operation of the transponder on Mode “A” as well, the relevant ATS unit shall be notified.
In the event of a radio communication failure, a pilot shall select Mode A/C, Code 7600 and follow established radio communication failure procedures. Subsequent control of the aircraft will be based on those procedures.
In cases where a transponder has failed and definitely cannot be restored prior to departure, permission to perform the flight without SSR must be obtained from the appropriate ATC unit before departure (See ENR 1.6 para 2.1.3)
In such cases the letter “N” shall be inserted in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan.
In cases where a transponder failure occurs during flight pilots may expect that ATC units will endeavour to provide continuation of the flight to the aerodrome of first intended landing in accordance with the flight plan. After landing pilots shall make every effort to have the transponder restored to normal operation. If repair cannot be effected, pilots shall comply with the provisions in item a.) above.
SSR Codes will be assigned in accordance with the European Code Assignment Plan, which is based on the Origination Region Code Assignment Method (ORCAM).
