LHDC AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1.   General

Noise abatement procedures are designed to avoid excessive aircraft noise in the areas adjacent to the airport and in the areas overflown during take off and landing.

2.   Noise preferential runway

Taking into consideration the prevailing weather conditions, runway 04R is used for landing when there is a tailwind component of not more than 5 KT in the RWY direction. The displaced threshold on RWY 22L is also used for landing for noise abatement purposes.

For a departure from runway direction 04R, until 2000 FT AGL is reached a left turn is PROHIBITED. Flying with below 2 000 FT AGL over Debrecen is PROHIBITED except when following a take-off or landing procedure.

LHDC AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1.   GENERAL

Visual circling in the NW sector of RWY 04R/22L is prohibited for speed category C and D aircraft.

The holding procedure has to be carried out on instruction of ATC/AFIS over the designated reporting points or other point identifiable by the pilot.

2.   Procedures for flights during operation of air traffic control (ATC)
2.1   Departing aircraft

2.2   Taxiing

Taxiing shall be carried out as instructed by Debrecen Tower.

2.3   IFR FLIGHTS

The maximum speed for IFR operations is 250 KT (460 KMH) IAS.

2.3.1   Standard Instrument Departure (SID)

Debrecen Tower will use one of the SIDs published for IFR flights.

The departure procedures in use are based on those contained in ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Aircraft Operations (Doc 8168, OPS/611 (PANS OPS)).

2.3.2   Instrument approach procedures

IAPs are published on IACs in part AD 2-LHDC.

2.3.3   Visual approach

A visual approach will only be allowed or offered if the visibility is at least 5 KM and the cloud-base at least 1 500 FT (450 M).

2.4   VFR FLIGHTS

ATC clearance for VFR flights within Debrecen CTAs and in CTR will be given on the following conditions:

  1. The flight plan has to be submitted to request ATC clearance, containing Items 7 to 18 inclusive;
  2. ATC clearance shall be obtained before the aircraft enters the areas concerned;

  4. Deviation from ATC clearance may only be made if prior permission has been obtained;
  5. The flight shall be conducted with vertical visual reference to the ground;
  6. Two-way radio communication shall be maintained with Debrecen Tower on the frequency prescribed;
  7. The aircraft shall be equipped with a SSR transponder with 4096 codes in mode A/C.
2.4.1   Communication failure procedures
  • Arriving aircraft:

    Proceed as cleared. If no landing clearance has been received, hold over the designated entry point of the CTR at 2 000 FT (600 M) AMSL or below for 5 minutes and then make the landing on the designated landing area.

  • Departing aircraft:

    Do not take-off if communication failure is experienced before take-off. Return to parking position.

3.   Procedures for flights during the operation of aerodrome flight information service (AFIS)
3.1   IFR flights

LHDC AD 2.23  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1.   Ground Handling Organisations

Ground handling organisations operate at Debrecen International Airport:

  • WX International Aviation Ltd. [pax]

    Email:wxa@xanga.hu

    Tel:(+36) 30-419-0968

2.   Supervision of the aerodrome

Runway state information and other related information of direct operational significance will be distributed to operators and services concerned either by NOTAM or SNOWTAM as appropriate.

3.   Bird flocks and bird migrations

The size of flocks of birds living near Debrecen International Airport varies with seasons. Danger of collision somewhat increases in JUN-AUG when the new generation leave their nests. Bird migrations occur, depending on weather conditions, in FEB-MAR and in NOV-DEC. Between MAR and OCT depending on weather conditions, gulls fly through the airspace in flocks of several hundreds, and settle temporarily on the airfield. Between OCT and MAR, also depending on weather conditions, gulls fly through the airspace of the airport in flocks of several dozens. Between NOV and FEB rooks in flocks of several hundreds migrate through the airspace of the airport.

3.1   Bird Watch and Scaring Service

The AIRPORT DEBRECEN Kft. operates a continuous bird watch and scaring service, with appropriate equipment.

Operators using Debrecen International Airport are requested to send their comments relating to the operation of this service to the following address:
