Local aerodrome regulations

Initial climb in EPMO is 4000 ft and the value is published on the charts. Information about it does not have to be issued with departure clearance, but it is highly recommended, especially for newbie pilots.

Modlin TWR controller does require clearance from APP Warszawa for takeoff permission (the “departure release” is required), unless APP controller decides otherwise.

Datalink clearance

In addition to clearances issued via radio, ATS has an option to issue ATC clearance via Dalatink Departure Clearance (DCL). Departure Clearance Request (RCD) should be initiated: no earlier than 30 minutes prior to EOBT or CTOT (if CTOT is assigned).

Minimum runway occupancy time

ATC will consider every aircraft at the holding point as able to commence line up and take-off roll after clearance issued with no delay.

Where possible, cockpit checks and cabin readiness shall be completed before line-up and any actions requiring completion on the runway shall be minimised.

If the taxi distance between the parking stand and holding position is short, it is suggested to finish the passenger cabin safety procedures demo before vacating the parking stand.

Aircraft DE-ICING

There are no specified stands or aprons for de-icing at EPMO.

De-icing is performed on the original stand of the aircraft, with use of adequate ground handling force.

VFR traffic

Overflight VFR traffic through CTR WARSZAWA/Modlin or performing aerodrome circuits should fly not higher than 1500 ft.

During periods of high air traffic intensity, an aircraft operating under VFR may, if necessary, be instructed to hold according to the appropriate procedure over the following points:

• point INDIA - Approach from point HOTEL or YANKEE. Perform holding on the north side of point INDIA.
• point UNIFORM - Approach from points VICTOR or JULIETT. Perform holding without crossing the north side of the Vistula River.

CTR Modlin is a Class D airspace.

At EPMO radar service is provided for airborne traffic. Traffic is controlled according to PANS-ATM 4444 Chapter 8.

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. CAT II in operation”. If weather conditions does not allow CAT II approaches the following phraseology should be used instead: “Low visibility procedures in operation. CAT II not available”.

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 LVP both RWY 08 and RWY 26 can be used for departure. After landing pilot should vacate the runway via TWY B or TWY C and taxi via TWY A.

Minimum RVR for departure is 150 m.

Operation	RVR
Departure	≥ 150 m
Arrival (RWY 08)	≥ 300 m (CAT II)
