VFR traffic
VFR flights in CTR Bydgoszcz are required to have a flight plan. Flights shall take place according to the published VFR routes. Shortcuts, other than published, should not be used for flight planning.
Constant (cruising) altitude and pattern altitude for VFR flights in CTR EPBY is 1500 ft. It is caused by dense buildings and high obstacles surrounding the airport. Flights shall not take place below that altitude. Descent below 1500 ft is permitted only in close vicinity of the airport, during published holding procedures over VFR reporting points, approaches and runway operations.
During high traffic load, aircraft in VFR flight may be instructed to hold on one of the published holdings: — on the north side of the aerodrome ROMEO and NOVEMBER, — on the south side of the aerodrome SIERRA.
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)
LVP operations will be commenced when any of the RVR falls below 550 m and/or the cloud ceiling falls below 200 ft.
Pilots are informed about LVP being in operation via ATIS or by radio, with use of following phraseology: “Low visibility procedures in operation”.
LVP will be terminated when all of the RVR increase over 600 m and the cloud ceiling reaches 200 ft or more and a continuing improvement is anticipated.
| Phase | RVR | Cloud ceiling or VV |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | ≤ 800 m | ≤ 300 ft (90m) |
| LVP | < 550 m | < 200 ft (60m) |
| Suspension | ≥ 600 m | ≥ 200 ft (60m)* |
*continuing improvement is anticipated
During LVPs, aircraft taxiing should be carried out along TWYs A, C1, D, E, F.
Minimum RVR for departure is 400 m.
| Operation | RVR |
|---|---|
| Departure | ≥ 400 m |
| Arrival (RWY 26) | ≥ 550 m |
