  • On stand R116 all ACFT up to maximum wing span 36 M can leave the stand with self manoeuvring procedures.
  • On stands R220-R223, R224-R227, prop/turboprop aircraft with MTOW 36.000 KG or less can leave the parking stand with power back procedures.
2.2.  When the aircrew is ready, as described above, request the start-up and the push-back/power-back clearance from Budapest Ground, stating the stand number, and confirming receipt of ATIS information by reading back the QNH.

If the flight is subject to slot allocation procedure, the latest time to issue the start-up clearance is 10 minutes prior to CTOT. (See LHBP AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS).

2.3.  After receiving the approval and instructions of Budapest Ground the aircraft may commence push-back and start-up engines immediately, with the pilot informing or indicating the approval and facing of the aircraft, and other relevant information to the connected ground staff. The pilot shall indicate to the ground staff the full release of the parking brakes. The start-up and push-back procedure shall be initiated on the instruction of the connected ground staff. In case of multi-engine aircraft, separate clearance to start-up should be requested for each engine from the ground staff. In case of no ground-cockpit connection, Budapest Ground shall be advised so that Marshaller assistance can be provided to control the procedure. Visual signals provided by the Marshaller during start-up and push-back are in line with those of ICAO Annex 2 Appendix 1, Marshalling Signals.

At parking positions R220-R223, R224-R227, start-up of engines and taxi out could be performed with the power-back procedure for prop and turbo prop aircraft, if the MTOW is not more than 36.000 KG as advised by Airfield Operations Service provided by the airport (Follow Me staff) The power-back procedure is not applicable when Low Visibility Procedures are in force or the published surface condition is POOR.

In case of the ACFT is operating with APU INOP, the special engine start procedure shall be reported as soon as possible to Budapest Apron (122.440 MHZ).

The start-up and push-back procedures from stand 31, 32, 44 are restricted. Engine start-up during the push- back procedure is allowed in idle power only and all ACFT after push back will be pulled forward to the brake away point. Brake away power is allowed at brake away point only.

The start-up and push-back procedures from stand 45 are restricted. Due to limited space between the stand and terminal building all ACFT will be pushed to apron taxi lane R, or H, or Q as instructed by ATC Budapest Ground.

Leaving the parking position using the power-back procedure shall be performed by following the visual signals of Marshaller. Aircraft following the start-up, push-back or power-back procedures should be ready for taxi within 4 minutes after off-block time.

2.4.  When engine start-up or power-back procedure is complete, request taxi clearance from Budapest Ground and indicate receipt of clearance to the ground staff. The disconnected ground staff will give approval to commence taxiing.

If an aircraft is unable to comply with the detailed conditions above or has to halt the start-up procedure due to technical or any other reasons, it shall immediately advise Budapest Ground.

Remark: generally, the connected ground staff are provided by the ground handling company. In special circumstances the Budapest Apron Management Service will provide the Marshaller for start-up and push- back procedures.

2.5.  Push and Hold procedures

a) LHBP/BUD has declared a remote holding capacity to maintain flow of aircraft by releasing occupied stands, and push-back crews. Flights subject to en-route ATC delays may request, or may be required, to push off stand and re-position at a remote location awaiting CTOT. Applicable flights are those with CTOT or other delays in excess of 30 minutes. The Push and hold procedures are available for Code B, C, and D ACFT only.

b) Airlines or aircraft operators must co-ordinate push and hold requests via Ground Handling Agent, who must liaise with Airport Operations Control Center (telephone (+36-1-296-7421)

c) Requests to push and park procedure 10 minutes prior from TOBT are to be made on the Apron frequency. (122.440). The Apron will coordinate with ATC, ground crew.

d) ATC clearance for push and hold manoeuvre will be given on the Budapest Ground frequency to the flight deck crew. Flight deck crew should monitor Budapest Ground frequency and note the instructions given.

e) Aircraft may taxi to the remote parking position with own engines and FOLLOW ME escort. The positioning of the aircraft will be managed by the Marshaller.

f) Remote locations for push and hold are located at the holding bay TWY B5. Capacity is maximum two (2) Code C ACFT (maximum wingspan 36 m) or one(1) Code D aircraft (maximum wingspan 52m).

g) Starting or restarting the engines at the remote parking position may managed by the flight crew without ground assistance. The needs of additional ground assistance may be requested on Apron Frequency (122.440)

3.3   Taxi procedures for arriving aircraft

ATC expects arriving ACFT to vacate runways via the rapid exit TWYs. If unable to do so, notify Budapest Tower on 118.100 MHZ in advance or immediately after landing. Arrivals on RWY 13R to T1, use TWY B1 or A1. Restrictions on rapid exit TWYs J4, Y and Z will be provided by Budapest Tower with landing clearance. During Low Visibility Operations, pilots shall report RWY vacation to Budapest Tower on 118.100 MHZ.

The backtrack (180° turn) manoeuvres on runways with aircraft wingspan at or higher than 36 M is not allowed due to width of runway.

After vacating the RWY, without further notice, pilots shall immediately contact Budapest Ground on 121.910 CH for detailed taxi instructions, if not otherwise instructed by ATC. Further taxiing to the designated stand is only allowed when cleared by Budapest Ground or Budapest Tower.

3.3.1   Movement on aprons

Normally ACFT taxi on the aprons when cleared to do so by Budapest Ground. ACFT may taxi to stands R101-108, R110-R117, 31-36, 37-39, 42-45, R210-R212, R220-223, R224-227, R270-R279 by themselves following the painted taxi lines, except under special circumstances (listed in 3.2.1 above)

ACFT may taxi to stands G150-G172, C1, C2, C3, C4, R115, R117, R117A, R278A, R212A is mandatory escorted by "FOLLOW ME" vehicle.

The responsibilities of Budapest Ground only extend to the provision of appropriate information in order to prevent collisions between aircraft.

When taxiing without "FOLLOW ME" assistance pilots are responsible for the safety of taxiing.

When an aircraft follows the "FOLLOW ME" car, the driver of this car is responsible for obstruction free taxiing.

Visual signals used by the ground staff during parking are those listed in ICAO Annex 2, Appendix 1, part 5.

Parking on the stands shall be carried out following the ground staff's visual signals; docking to aviobridges shall be made according to the signals of the SAFEDOCK T2 system. If the SAFEDOCK T2 system is inoperative docking shall be performed following the Marshaller‘s instructions.

3.4   Taxi procedures for departing aircraft

At the stand, taxi clearance to the designated holding point of the runway will be given by Budapest Ground.

The backtrack (180° turn) manoeuvres on runways with aircraft wingspan at or higher than 36 M is not allowed due to width of runway.

3.4.1   Movement on the aprons

Normally aircraft taxi on the aprons cleared to do so by Budapest Ground.

Aircraft may taxi on the apron by themselves following the painted taxi lines, except under special circumstances (listed in 3.2.1 above).

The responsibilities of Budapest Ground only extend to the provision of appropriate information in order to prevent collisions between aircraft.

When taxiing without "FOLLOW ME" assistance, pilots are responsible for the safety of taxiing.

When an aircraft follows the "FOLLOW ME" car, the driver of this car is responsible for obstruction free taxiing.

3.5   Operation of Mode S transponders when the aircraft is on the ground

A surface movement guidance and control system (ASMGCS), using Mode S multilateration operates at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport.

Aircraft operators intending to use Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport shall ensure that the Mode S transponders are able to operate when the aircraft is on the ground.

3.5.1   Procedures to be followed by pilots

Select “AUTO” mode and assigned Mode A code, or if “AUTO” mode is not available, select “ON” (e.g. “XPDR”) and assigned Mode A code:

  • from the request for push-back or taxi, whichever is the earlier
  • after landing, continuously until the aircraft is fully parked on stand, and

Select “STBY”, when fully parked on the stand.

Whenever the aircraft is capable of reporting Aircraft Identification (i.e. callsign used in flight), the Aircraft Identification should also be entered from the request for push-back or taxi, whichever is earlier, through the FMS or the Transponder Control Panel.

Flight crew shall use the Aircraft Identification format, as defined by ICAO (e.g. SAS589, BAW869).

To ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (including airborne TCAS units and SSR radars) is not compromised:

  • When the aircraft is departing, TCAS should not be selected before receiving the clearance to line up
  • When the aircraft is arriving, TCAS should be deselected after vacating the runway.

For aircraft taxiing without flight plan, Mode A code 2000 should be selected.

4.   Operation of docking system at Terminal 2A, B

At parking positions 31, 32, 33, 34, 34L/R, 35, 35L/R, 36, 36R, 37, 38, 39R and 42, 43, 44, 45 SAFEDOCK T2 system is in operation.

4.1   System description

The SAFEDOCK T2 system is a microprocessor controlled laser scanning device which directs an approaching aircraft to the terminal gate stopping position with the assistance of a real time display unit that is clearly visible from the cockpit.

4.2   Docking procedure
  1. Follow the taxi line to gate 31-36, 37-39 or 42-45.
  2. Check correct aircraft type, the flashing arrows of direction and floating arrows (the system is activated and ready for the docking procedure).
  3. When the aircraft has been detected by the system the floating arrows are replaced by the closing rate indicator.
    • Watch the yellow centre line indicator, the flashing arrow indicates the correct azimuth guidance.
    • Watch the flashing red arrows for required direction of turn.
  4. When the aircraft is 12 M from the stop position, the closing rate indicating the remaining distance to the stop position is indicated by turning off one row per half metre.
  5. If the docking speed of the aircraft is more than 4 KT, SLOW DOWN is displayed to allow for correct docking.
  6. At the correct stop position all yellow closing rate indicator bars are switched off, the STOP sign is displayed and 2 red lights will be lit.
  7. When the aircraft has parked correctly, the OK sign is displayed.
  8. When the aircraft has overshot the stop position, the TOO FAR sign is displayed.
4.2.1   Warnings
  1. When the detection of the aircraft is not possible (the closing rate indicator does not appear), the aircraft has to stop at a safe distance from the aviobridge (as primary obstacle) and has to wait for the marshaller’s manual guidance.The floating arrows only indicate that the docking system is activated and tested for the identified aircraft.
  2. When the identification of the aircraft is not made 12 M before the correct stop position, the STOP then ID FAIL signs are displayed. In this case, the docking procedure has to be interrupted. The aircraft has to wait for the system to restart or for manual guidance by the marshaller.
  3. During heavy fog, opposite sunlight or snow, the visibility of the docking system can be reduced. In this case, the display deactivates the floating arrows and the SLOW sign is displayed. This configuration is superseded by the closing rate indicator bar, as soon as the system detects the approaching aircraft.
  4. Due to dimensions of the aviobridge, the following aircraft types have to shut down the engines on the port side (left) just after turning onto the centre line of the stands 31, 32, 42, 43, 44 and 45 (Airbus A220-100, A319, Boeing B737-500, B737-600, Embraer E170/175 and Sukhoi SSJ).
5.   The rules of engine testing
5.1   General

The functional testing of aircraft engines on the ground is subject to permission. The selection of the location and the time for the activity is dependent on the size category of the aircraft and the power of the engine test.

Engine power tests (on power levels higher than idle power) for up to ICAO code C aircraft must be performed at the engine test stand constructed for this purpose. Deviations from this are only permitted as detailed in section 5.4.

Engine power tests for aircraft larger than ICAO Code C may be performed at the location and with the conditions described in section 5.4.

The obstacle-free nature (FOD) and cleanliness of the area must be verified in all cases. In case of any issues, the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC airside controller: phone: (+361) 296-6914) must be notified.

The appropriate brake blocks must be provided for engine tests, and the presence of the hand-held fire extinguishers must be checked at the site.

Any surface pollution generated during engine testing must be reported to the AOCC.

Continuous two-way radio contact must be maintained with the unit competent in the area during engine testing.

The time periods specified in this section shall be interpreted as follows: all periods include the starting time of the period, but not its closing time.

5.2   Permitting procedure

Requests for engine power tests must be sent to the AOCC in advance, at least 24 hours prior to the planned time of the engine test. The AOCC confirms the approval of the request to the applicant.

Permission for actual engine start-up must be requested from the unit responsible for traffic management in the given area, by DRR radio (or air-to-air radio on the frequency of the competent unit in the given area), and the completion of the engine test must be reported to the same unit.

  • Budapest APRON (122.440 MHZ): Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Apron, Cargo Apron, Engine test stand, Apron AA, AL;
  • Budapest GROUND (121.910 MHZ): B5 holding bay, taxiways outside of the aprons and runways.

The AOO service records the most important specifics of engine tests (e.g. beginning and end of test, aircraft type, name of the company performing the test, location, etc.) using the form “Engine test voucher”.

5.3   Engine tests at idle power

Engine tests at idle power may be performed at the following locations, with a maximum of one engine, for a maximum of 5 minutes, :

  • On the stands of the Terminal 1 apron, with no exception of stands between 0600 - 2200 (0500-2100);
  • On the stands of the Terminal 2 apron, and Cargo apron with no exception of stands without restriction in terms of the time of day;
  • On the AA, AG, AL apron section, on the marked taxi lane, at the starting position marked at the apron exit point, between 0600 - 2200 (0500-2100);
  • At the engine test stand (maximum wingspan 36 m) without restriction in terms of the duration of the test and number of engines are running between 0600 - 2200 (0500-2100).
5.4   Engine power tests

Engine power tests may only be performed at the following locations:

  1. At the engine test stand established for aircraft up to ICAO code C, without restriction in terms of power, and duration of the test is between 0600 - 2200 (0500-2100);
  2. If the engine test stand is not suitable for the performance of the test for whatever reason, the B5 holding bay or taxiway A9 may also be designated as a power test area, between 0800 - 1800 (0700-1700).

If engine power testing is necessary between 1800 - 2200 (1700-2100) or between 0600 - 0800 (0500-0700) at the locations listed in point 2 above, the prior written permission of the Ministry for Innovation and Technology, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) must also be obtained separately at least 24 hours prior to the planned time of the engine test, and must be attached to the request, to be submitted to the AOCC. The compliance of the engine test with the contents of the authority permission is overseen and checked by the duty airside manager (DAM).

It is prohibited to perform engine power test between 2200 - 0600 (2100-0500) at the airport.

5.5   The operational rules of the engine test stand

The procedural rules for the operation of the engine test stand are outlined in Chapter XII. of the Airport Manual Volume II.

LHBP AD 2.21   NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1.   General provisions

The aim of noise abatement procedures is to mitigate the impact of noise generated by aircraft at the airport and on the residential areas affected by landing and take-off procedures.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport may be used by aircraft which comply with the requirements prescribed by joint decree no. 18/1997 (X. 11.) of the Minister of Transport, Telecommunication and Water Affairs and of the Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development.

Only aircraft which comply with chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 of part II, volume I of annex 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed on 7 December 1944 in Chicago (ICAO Convention), or with stricter requirements in terms of noise emissions than the aforementioned regulations, may use the airport on a regular basis.

The airline or aircraft operator planning to use the airport is obliged to send to the airport operator in advance the noise certification of its aircraft intending to use the airport. The noise certificate must be sent in advance by email or by fax to:

Email:aodm@bud.hu

Tel:(+361) 296-6890.

The selection of the runway to be used is performed by ATC on the basis of the regulations specified below.

The time periods specified in this chapter shall be interpreted as follows: all periods include the starting time of the period, but not its closing time.

2.   Selection of Runway-In-Use

The direction in which aircraft take off and land is determined by the speed and direction of the surface wind or by the preferential runway system.

The term “runway-in-use” is used to indicate the runway that - at a particular time - is considered by ATC to be the most suitable for use by the types of aircraft expected to land or take off according to the preferential runway system.

Normally, an aircraft will take off and land into the wind, unless safety, runway configuration or traffic conditions determine that a different direction is preferable. However, in selecting the runway-in-use, ATC shall also take into consideration other relevant factors such as the aerodrome traffic circuits, the length of the runway, the approach and landing aids available, meteorological conditions, aircraft performance, the existence of a preferential runway system and noise abatement.

Accepting a runway is a pilot’s decision. If the pilot-in-command considers the runway-in-use not usable for the reason of safety, he shall request permission to use another runway. ATC will accept such request, provided that traffic and air safety conditions permit.

In the case of all traffic arriving at Terminal 2 and ICAO Code E traffic arriving at Terminal 1, RWY 31R, and, in the case of ICAO Code A, B, C and D traffic arriving at Terminal 1, RWY 31L is to be used, but if traffic conditions require, RWY 31R can also be used for landing. In case of departing traffic, RWY 31L is to be used for take-off.

2.1.4   In the case of RWY direction 13

In case of arriving traffic, RWY 13R is to be used for landing. In the case of traffic departing from Terminal 2 and ICAO Code E traffic departing from Terminal 1, RWY 13L, and, in case of ICAO Code A, B, C and D traffic departing from Terminal 1, RWY 13R is to be used, but if traffic conditions require, RWY 13L is to be used for take-off.

2.2   Nighttime (between 2100 - 0500 (2000-0400)) – Operational regulations which differ from daytime

For noise protection reasons, primarily RWY 31R or RWY 13R are to be used by arriving traffic during the night, in compliance with the authority resolution on the designation of noise protection zones. Light turbulence category aircraft arriving for the Terminal 1 apron may also use RWY 31L for landing between 2100 - 2300 (2000-2200) and between 0400 - 0500 (0300-0400).

For noise protection reasons, between 2300 - 0400 (2200-0300), RWY 13L is to be used for take-off and RWY 31R is to be used for landing (reciprocal runway operation). In the case of RWY 13L/31R being closed during this period, RWY 13R is to be used for take-off and RWY 31L is to be used for landing.

Reciprocal runway operations are to be conducted with a tailwind component greater than 5 KT, up to a maximum 10 KT tailwind, or 15 KT crosswind component (including gusts) if the following conditions are met:

  • May only be conducted on RWY 13L/31R
  • The runway surface is dry and reported Runway Condition Code 6 (GOOD)
  • Authorized only for ICAO WTC L and M aircraft
  • For departure from RWY 13L take-off shall be planned from taxiway intersection B5 (full length)
  • Authorized in VMC conditions only
  • All CNS and AGL systems must be fully operational for the instrument approach in use, to the extent required by the prevailing weather conditions
  • All runway end and rapid exit taxiways must be available for the runway in use.

Holding of arriving or departing aircraft can be expected occasionally up to 30 minutes between 2300 - 0400 (2200-0300).

2.3   Exceptions

Other than the cases specified in section 7, deviation from the basic rules on RWY use is only possible under the following circumstances:

  • during the closure of one of the two RWYs due to maintenance works, or another unexpected event;
  • in case of calibration flights;
  • if no ILS approach is available on the runway selected on the basis of standard regulations.
  • when the crosswind component exceeds 15 KT or more (gusts included);
  • when the tailwind component exceeds 5 KT or more (gusts included);
  • when wind shear has been reported or forecast, or when thunderstorms are expected to affect arriving or departing traffic;
  • when pilots report excessive wind at higher altitudes resulting in go-arounds;
  • when the runways are contaminated or when the reported Runway Condition Code is less than 6 (GOOD);
  • for landing, when the ceiling is lower than 500 FT or the visibility is less than 1900 M;
  • for departure, when the visibility is less than 1900 M;
  • when alternative runways are successively requested by pilots for safety reasons.

Gust components are derived from the maximum three second average wind speed which occurred during the last ten minutes (or a shorter period in case of a marked discontinuity).

3.   Noise Abatement Arrivals
3.1.   With the exception of aircraft using visual flight rules (VFR) and calibration aircraft, primarily the instrument landing procedure of the highest available level shall be used during landing, except if the pilot of the aircraft expressly requests a lower level approach procedure. In case of the unrestricted availability of both runways and their navigation equipment, visual approach procedures may not be used on threshold 13L.
3.2.  The noise abatement behaviour expected of aircraft pilots during arrivals is as follows:
  • Prior to final approach, the last reported altitude must be maintained for as long as possible.
  • The reduction of the speed of the aircraft and the release of the landing gear and of high lift devices must be planned so that the conditions for a stabilised approach and the appropriate approach speed are in place by 5 NM from the touchdown point, at the latest, on the final approach.
  • Descent during final approach should be controlled so that increases to engine power can be avoided as much as possible.
  • The use of reverse thrust should be limited to idle thrust, except if aviation safety considerations require the use of a higher level of thrust (e.g. if the RWY is wet or snowy).
4.   Noise Abatement Departures
4.1.  The use of taxiways for RWY 13L/31R for departing aircraft for noise abatement reasons:
  • In the case of departure from RWY 13L, take-off shall be planned from taxiway intersection K.
  • If a departing aircraft belonging to the medium or heavy turbulence category receives/is given RWY 31R for take-off, it must commence take-off from the end of the RWY, using TWY A9. If RWY 13R/31L is not available, a runway 31R take-off from taxiway intersection V may also be permitted for flow management reasons.
4.2.  Noise abatement take-off procedures, specified in section 7 of part I. of ICAO Doc 8168-OPS/611 (PAN-OPS) Volume I. (5th edition, 2006), must be used during take-off, except if this is not recommended by the pilot of the aircraft or ATC due to foreseeable reasons (meteorological or aviation safety). If the noise abatement take-off cannot be executed due to foreseeable reasons, ATC must record this fact.
4.3.  The noise abatement take-off procedure must be executed in accordance with the NADP procedures described in the appendix to chapter 3 of section 7 of part I. of ICAO Doc 8168-OPS/611 (PAN-OPS) Vol. I. (5th edition, 2006).
4.4.  The altitude / speed constraints and the valid flight paths for take off, landing, arrival and departure procedures (SID/STAR) are specified on the maps in chapter AD 2 LHBP of the AIP.
4.5.  Compliance with the SID procedure published in the AIP is mandatory for aircraft performing IFR flights up to an elevation of QNH 7 000 FT (2 150 M) AMSL in case of RWY direction 31 and up to QNH 4 000 FT (1 200 M) AMSL in case of RWY direction 13, except for turboprop and light turbulence category aircraft or aircraft requesting a cruise altitude of less than 9 500 FT.
5.   Nighttime traffic restrictions
5.1.  At nighttime, the number of movements of scheduled and non-scheduled commercial landings and take-offs may be planned as follows:
  • 50 movements between 2100 - 0500 (2000-0400);
  • Out of this, 6 movements between 2300 - 0400 (2200-0300).
6.   Restrictions on the use of Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
6.1.  Aircraft operators must act circumspectly regarding noise burdens arising from the use of auxiliary power units (APUs), in order to protect the area surrounding the airport:
  • The operation of APUs must be stopped at the latest within 5 minutes of arrival on stands equipped with a ready-installed external power source, in operational condition;
  • APUs may only be restarted for essential technical checks, or immediately prior to planned departure to ensure appropriate conditions in the passenger cabin and for electronic systems; maximum 5-30 minutes prior to passenger boarding, depending on the aircraft type;
  • The operation of APUs is not permitted without the presence of trained specialist staff.
6.2.  During nighttime, the duty airside manager (DAM) checks the airfield operational areas and warns the crews or the ground handling agent of aircraft breaching regulations on the use of APUs.
7.   Exception

The restrictions listed in 1. – 6. do not apply to the following cases:

  • If the aircraft is in an emergency;
  • Movements of aircraft operating due to various exceptional purposes, such as for humanitarian purposes, emergency search and rescue operations, medical assistance, patient transportation and life-saving (including the transportation of organs for transplantation, blood plasma and medication), as well as for disaster relief operations;
  • Aircraft participating in government flights, including movements for military, customs, law enforcement, fire-fighting, criminal investigation and national security purposes, as well as movements serving the transportation of heads of state and government on official visits;
  • The restrictions also do not apply to exceptional cases when their enforcement would endanger aviation safety, under the given circumstances. The aviation safety justification must in all cases be attested by the party making reference to it.

LHBP AD 2.22   FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1.   Limitations for arriving traffic
1.1.  Speed restriction:
  • Speed 165 KIAS at 5 NM from the runway threshold.
  • Speed limits apply at specified waypoints for track containment purposes.
1.1.1  Pilots who are unable to comply with these speed assignments, shall inform ATC accordingly.
1.2.  Due to the limited airspace available, it is of importance that the approaches to the patterns and the holding procedures are carried out as precisely as possible. Pilots are strongly requested to inform ATC if, for any reason the approach and/or holding cannot be performed as required.
1.3.  All arriving traffic to LHBP without RNP APCH capability should advise the appropriate ATC unit at first contact and request radar vectors for the relevant conventional approach.
2.   Handling the arriving traffic in Budapest TMA
2.1.  STAR procedures can be expected during peak traffic periods by ATC. In low traffic periods or in nighttime operations shortcuts may be expected.
2.2.  To eliminate additional radio communication to clarify the navigational capability of aircraft, the phrase “UNABLE RNAV DUE EQUIPMENT” shall be included by the pilot immediately following the aircraft call sign, whenever initial contact on the Budapest Approach frequency is established.
2.3.  Arriving aircraft experiencing radio communication failure shall set the transponder to code 7600 and:
  1. During a STAR procedure shall continue via the acknowledged full procedure with the relevant constraints, then complete the instrument approach for the runway in use.
  2. During a "direct to a waypoint" shall proceed to the acknowledged waypoint and join the remaining arrival route or instrument procedure with the relevant constraints, then complete the instrument approach for the runway in use.
  3. Prior to entering the Budapest TMA shall proceed to the TMA entry point according to the flight plan and continue via the STAR procedure with the relevant constraints, then complete the instrument approach for the runway in use.
  4. Without RNAV capability, prior to entering the Budapest TMA or under radar vectoring shall proceed to TPS VOR/DME and follow the standard VOR approach procedure then complete the final approach for the runway in use.
3.   Instrument Approach Procedures for Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport
3.1   ILS operations

Note: A change in operational status, if caused by a failure expected to last more than one hour, will be promulgated by NOTAM and accordingly by ATIS. Pilots will be notified of shorter term deficiencies by ATC (ATIS and/or radiotelephony).

3.1.1   Facilities

Information about the facilities serving ILS operations are published in AD 2-LHBP AD-2.19

3.1.2   ILS CAT III performance

The ILS localiser for runway 31R and 13R provides full roll-out guidance on for the total length of the runway.

3.2   ATC Procedures for Low Visibility Conditions
3.2.1   Runway(s) and associated equipment authorised for use when LVP are in effect, including for operations with operational credits with RVR less than 550 m, if applicable

Nil

3.2.2   Defined meteorological conditions under which initiation, use and termination of LVP would be made

Nil

3.2.3   Description of ground marking/lighting for use under LVP

Nil

3.2.4   Remarks
3.2.4.1   Preparation Phase PREP

When any RVR is 800 M or less and/or the cloud base is at 400 FT or below, ATC will apply safeguards and additional procedures to protect ILS operations in addition, it will minimise the traffic on the manoeuvring areas. ATC will operate the stopbars at all RWY holding points. In such circumstances, taxiing aircraft may continue taxiing beyond the holding point of the runway in use, only after the stopbar lights are switched off, and with a specific clearance by ATC. Furthermore without special request ATC will operate the flashing centrelights of the approach lighting system, which will be switched off on the request of the aircrew only.

3.2.4.2   Operation Phase, LVP 1.

When any RVR is 600 M or less and/or the cloud base is at 200 FT or below, in addition to 3.2.4.1 above, ATC will ensure that the ILS protection area (critical/sensitive) is clear of traffic before the landing aircraft reaches 2 NM from the TDZ.

When all RVR is 400 M or more, the responsibility for avoiding collision on the manoeuvring area is shared between aircraft crew and ATC. ATC is responsible for the delivery of safe taxi instructions, determination of priority at taxiway intersections and the provision of correct traffic information. The aircraft crew is responsible for the proper execution of the given taxi instructions and for avoiding a collision with other traffic on taxiways and at intersections, by visual reference. Aircraft will be advised of these procedures in an ATIS broadcast with the following expression:

“ATTENTION! LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN FORCE”

3.2.4.3   Operation Phase, LVP2.

When any RVR is less than 400 M, in addition to 3.2.4.1 above, the ATC is responsible for preventing collisions between aircraft and other traffic on taxiways and intersections on the manoeuvring area. Aircraft will be advised of these procedures in an ATIS broadcast with the following expression:
“ATTENTION! LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN FORCE”

3.2.4.4   General procedures

The above procedures are applied irrespective of the actual category of operations flown, which is a pilot decision. During the approach, pilots will be informed of:

  • failure and/or downgrading of aids or facilities serving CAT II or III operations;
  • significant changes in surface wind (speed and direction);
  • changes in RVR.

The movement of aircraft and vehicles on the manoeuvring area will be monitored by ATC (ASMGCS) to avoid inadvertent runway entry and possible conflicts on taxiways.

In case of ASMGCS and/or stopbar failure, additional restrictions will be applied for the safety of the aircraft moving on the manoeuvring area (e.g. start-up restriction; total prohibition of the vehicle movement; etc.).

3.3   Practice ILS approaches

Pilots who wish to practice CAT II or III approaches are requested to use the phrase:

“Request practice category II (or III) approach”

on initial contact with Budapest Approach. Practice ILS approaches will be allowed only when traffic conditions permit. Pilots will be informed if the requested approach may be carried out.

3.4   Precision Approach Terrain Charts

Precision Approach Terrain Charts are published as AD 2-LHBP-PATC.

3.5   Obstacle clearance

OCA/H are published on the relevant IACs.

3.6   Instrument approaches

The IAPs are published on IACs listed in LHBP AD 2.24.

3.7   Visual Approach

Visual approach is not permitted at LHBP, except in VMC for:

  • VFR traffic
  • IFR traffic, only when no instrument approach available for the relevant runway direction.
3.8   Aerodrome Operating minima
3.8.1  The OCA(H) values are promulgated on the Instrument Approach Chart for each kind of approach procedure available for those categories of aircraft for which the procedure is designated. At Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, State weather minima are not applied.
3.8.2   It is assumed that an operator will establish aerodrome operating minima for his use for each kind of IAP available. Such minima MDA(H) shall not be lower than the appropriate OCA(H) value.
3.9    Initiation of an approach to land

It is assumed that an operator will formulate rules for the operations personnel concerned, regarding the initiation of an instrument approach depending on the weather conditions.

3.10   ATC procedures
3.10.1  If the ATC requires the aircraft to discontinue the approach and to turn in a defined direction and/or to climb, the expression ”CANCEL, I SAY AGAIN CANCEL APPROACH” is used and supplemented with further instructions, as necessary (e.g. TURN RIGHT HEADING 040 degree and CLIMB TO ALTITUDE 2 500 FT).
3.10.2  If the ATC requires the aircraft to carry out the missed approach procedure published in the AIP, the expression ”GO AROUND, I SAY AGAIN GO AROUND EXECUTE MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE!” is used and supplemented with further climb/heading instructions, as necessary.
4.   Departure Procedures
4.1   General
4.1.1  Flights departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, shall request en route clearance before start-up from Budapest Delivery or Budapest Ground according to ATIS. See LHBP AD 2.20 LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS
4.1.2  The flight will be cleared on a SID published for IFR flights when item 15 of the flight plan contains a standard TMA exit point. If necessary, individual outbound routes will be determined.

Note 1: The SID procedures comprise the noise abatement procedures and clearance for climbing up to 7 000 FT altitude, when the requested cruising altitude given in the flight plan equal to 7 000 FT QNH or higher.

Note 2: Airspace restrictions in force are broadcast by ATIS.

4.2   Standard Instrument Departures
4.2.1  The instrument departure procedures are published on SID Charts listed in Part AD LHBP 2.24.
4.2.2  The required climb gradient is 5.5% up to the specified altitude on the relevant SID charts.

Pilots who are unable to comply with the assigned climb gradient shall inform ATC .

4.2.3  When following SID, the highest speed below 10 000 FT AMSL is 250 KIAS.
4.2.4  Pilots are invited to execute a rolling take-off whenever possible and to avoid the significant increase of engine power while standing in the line-up position.
4.2.5  Pilots who are unable to comply with RNAV1 navigation specification shall inform ATC.
5.   Procedures for VFR flights within Budapest TMA and in Budapest CTR
5.1   General

Any VFR aircraft that intend to enter the Budapest CTR/TMA from uncontrolled airspace must establish radio communication with the Budapest Control Tower/Approach before crossing the CTR/TMA border to request entry clearance. If the aircraft is a helicopter it must be reported.

VFR aircraft entering or departing Budapest CTR flying at IAS 120 knots or less must avoid Budapest TMA and plan their flight below Budapest TMA.

ATC clearance for VFR flights within Budapest CTR/TMA will be given on the following conditions:

2.   Supervision of the Aerodrome

The movement areas at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport are checked on a regular basis by the duty airside manager. The duty airside manager will advise the ATS units concerned about the prevailing conditions of the runways and other parts of the movement area.

The condition of runway pavement and friction characteristic is generally assessed under dry conditions using a self-wetting continuous friction measuring device.

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.

Information on aerodrome conditions (including weather conditions) and limitations of available services and/or facilities will also be announced in ATIS broadcasts.

Notes:

  • One broadcast serves both arriving and departing aircraft.
  • Runway condition is reported with Runway Condition Code. It is transmitted for each thirt of the runway in use commencing from the threshold. Sections of the runway are identified as first part, second part, and third part.
  • RVR values are transmitted in the following order: TDZ, mid point and stop end. When RVRs for all the three positions are available, the positions are not identified.
  • Pilots of 8.33 KHZ exempted aircraft are requested to receive ATIS broadcast via the audio channel of BUD VOR on 117.300 MHZ
4.   Bird flocks and bird migrations

The size of flocks of birds living at or near Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport varies with seasons.

Domestic pigeons bred at settlements in the vicinity of the airport represent a constant and growing threat. Appearance of a flock comprising 50 to 100 individuals can be expected from every direction between 30 and 100 FT.

About 40 to 60 birds of prey live within the area or in the immediate vicinity of the airport. Birds of prey are a hazard to aircraft in the initial climb or final approach phase of flight.

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 SEP-OCT. In these months flocks of several thousand, relatively small birds will migrate through the airspace at varying altitudes.

Between NOV and FEB gulls also appear at the airport, usually preferring to settle on runways and taxiways.

Particular mention must be made of black and grey crows. Between OCT and MAR, also depending on weather conditions, they migrate through the airspace of the airport in flocks of several tens of thousands and sometimes of several hundred thousands, and settle temporarily on the airfield.

Their migration shows a distinct daily pattern: after dawn they fly from NW to SE, and at dusk from SE to NW, between 30 and 1 000 FT.
