text: Regulation (EU) No 923/2012

text: define ‘aerial work’ in a way that is similar but not identical to the way

text: Regulation (EU) No 965/2012

text: (the ‘Air Operations Regulation’) defines ‘specialised operations’. Both definitions, ‘aerial work’ and ‘specialised operations’, are based upon the ICAO Annex 6 definitions and encompass a variety of activities that do not fall into the category of commercial air transport (CAT) operations. In this context, it is understood that: (a) Unlike ‘aerial work’, ‘specialised operations’ do not include flights conducted for the purposes of search and rescue and firefighting as from the Air Operations Regulation’s perspective those flights are outside the scope of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Basic Regulation. (b) Unlike ‘aerial work’, ‘specialised operations’ include (test) flights carried out by design or production organisations for the purpose of introduction or modification of aircraft types and (ferry) flights carrying no passengers or cargo where the aircraft is ferried for refurbishment, repair, maintenance checks, inspections, delivery, export or similar purposes.

text: GENERAL

text: (a) The term ‘ATS route’ is used to mean variously ‘airway’, ‘advisory route’, ‘controlled route’ or ‘uncontrolled route‘(i.e. VFR routes or corridors), ‘arrival or departure route’, etc. (b) An ATS route is defined by route specifications, which include an ATS route designator, the track to or from significant points (waypoints), distance between significant points, reporting requirements and, as determined by the competent authority, the lowest safe altitude the minimum flight altitude.

text: APPLICABLE LOCAL PROVISIONS

text: Applicable local provisions include local aerodrome regulations that are published in the relevant Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs). Such local aerodrome regulations may contain requirements for the operation of the aircraft transponder on the movement area of an aerodrome with the intent to ensure provision of surveillance data to the air traffic services unit providing services at the aerodrome, as well as other aerodrome units (e.g. apron management services).

text: UNSERVICEABLE STOP BARS — CONTINGENCY MEASURES

text: In situations where the lit stop bars cannot be turned off because of a technical problem, the following contingency measures may, inter alia, be considered: (a) physically disconnecting the respective lit stop bar from its power supply; (b) physically obscuring the lights of the lit stop bar; (c) using a different route, until the malfunctioning system has been repaired. In case of implementation of (a) or (b), a marshaller or a follow-me vehicle may need to be provided to lead the aircraft to cross the stop bar. Moreover, in case of implementation of (b), care should be exercised to ensure correct implementation of the measure to avoid misunderstandings by the flight crew. In any case, the measures taken should not undermine the principle that a lit stop bar must not be crossed.

text: GM1 SERA.3210(d)(4)(ii)(B) Right-of-way

text: CONTROL OF PERSONS AND VEHICLES AT AERODROMES

text: In prescribing the minimum separation method(s) between vehicles and taxiing aircraft, the availability of lighting, markings, signals and signage should normally be taken into account.

text: GM1 SERA.7002(a)(1) Collision hazard information when ATS based on surveillance are provided

text: INFORMATION REGARDING TRAFFIC ON CONFLICTING PATH OUTSIDE CONTROLLED AIRSPACE

text: When an identified IFR flight operating outside controlled airspace is observed to be on a conflicting path with another aircraft, the pilot should be, as far as practicable: (a) be informed of the traffic as to the need for collision avoidance action to be initiated, and if so requested by the pilot or if, in the opinion of the air traffic controller, the FIS officer or the AFIS officer, the situation warrants, a course of avoiding action should be suggested; and (b) be notified when the conflict no longer exists.

text: GM1 SERA.8005(a)(3) Operation of air traffic control service

text: CLEARANCE FOR IMMEDIATE TAKE-OFF

text: In the interest of expediting traffic, a clearance for immediate take-off may be issued to an aircraft before it enters the runway. On acceptance of such clearance, the aircraft should taxi out to the runway and take off in one continuous movement.

text: GM2 SERA.8005(b) Operation of air traffic control service

text: CLEARANCES TO FLY MAINTAINING OWN SEPARATION WHILE IN VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

text: (a) If there is a possibility that flight under visual meteorological conditions may become impracticable, an IFR flight should be provided with alternative instructions to be complied with in the event that flight in visual meteorological conditions cannot be maintained for the term of the clearance. (b) The pilot of an IFR flight, on observing that conditions are deteriorating and considering that operation in visual meteorological conditions will become impossible, should inform air traffic control units before entering instrument meteorological conditions and should proceed in accordance with the alternative instructions given.

text: GM3 SERA.8005(b) Operation of air traffic control service

text: (a) The provision of vertical or horizontal separation by an air traffic control unit is not applicable in respect of any specified portion of a flight cleared subject to maintaining own separation and remaining in visual meteorological conditions. It is for the aircraft so cleared to ensure, for the duration of the clearance, that it is not operated in such proximity to other flights as to create a collision hazard.

text: (b) It is axiomatic that a VFR flight must remain in visual meteorological conditions at all times. Accordingly, the issuance of a clearance to a VFR flight to fly subject to maintaining own separation and remaining in visual meteorological conditions has no other object than to signify that, for the duration of the clearance, separation from other aircraft by air traffic control units is not provided. (c) The objectives of the air traffic control service as prescribed in ATS.TR.100 of

text: Regulation (EU) 2017/373

text: do not include prevention of collision with terrain. Pilots are responsible for ensuring that any clearances issued by air traffic control units are safe in this respect. When vectoring or assigning a direct routing not included in the flight plan, which takes an IFR flight off published ATS route or instrument procedure, the procedures in ATS.TR.235(a)(5) of

text: Regulation (EU) 2017/373

text: apply.

text: VISUAL APPROACH

text: (a) Subject to the conditions described in point (b), clearance for an IFR flight to execute a visual approach may be requested by a flight crew or initiated by the air traffic controller. In the latter case, the concurrence of the flight crew should be required. (b) An IFR flight should only be cleared to execute a visual approach, provided the pilot can maintain visual reference to the terrain and: (1) the reported ceiling is at or above the level of the beginning of the initial approach segment for the aircraft so cleared; or (2) the pilot reports at the level of the beginning of the initial approach segment or at any time during the instrument approach procedure that the meteorological conditions are such that with reasonable assurance a visual approach and landing can be completed. (c) Except between aircraft performing successive visual approaches as described in point (d), separation should be provided between an aircraft cleared to execute a visual approach and other arriving and departing aircraft. (d) For successive visual approaches, separation should be maintained by the air traffic controller until the pilot of a succeeding aircraft reports having the preceding aircraft in sight. The aircraft should then be instructed to follow and maintain own separation from the preceding aircraft. (e) In case of aircraft performing successive visual approaches and instructed to maintain own separation as in point (d), and the distance between such aircraft is less than the appropriate wake turbulence minimum, the air traffic controller should issue a caution of possible wake turbulence.

text: GM1 to AMC1 SERA.8005(c) Operation of air traffic control service

text: VISUAL APPROACH

text: The pilot-in-command of the aircraft concerned is responsible for ensuring that the spacing from a preceding aircraft of a heavier wake turbulence category is acceptable. If it is determined that additional spacing is required, the flight crew should inform the ATC unit accordingly, stating their requirements.

text: CHANGE IN CLEARANCE REGARDING THE ROUTE

text: The nature of the change should include a description of the route and levels to the point where it joins the previously cleared route, or, if the aircraft will not rejoin the previous route, to the destination.

text: GM1 SERA.9005(a)(8) Scope of flight information service

text: INFORMATION ON SPACE WEATHER

text: When available, information on space weather phenomena that have an impact on high-frequency radio communications, communications via satellite, GNSS-based navigation and surveillance systems, and/or pose a radiation risk to aircraft occupants at flight levels within the area of responsibility of the ATS unit should be transmitted to the affected aircraft.

text: GM1 Appendix 1 to SERA.14001 General

text: The phraseology in AMC1 SERA.14001 does not include phrases and regular radiotelephony procedure words contained in SERA Section 14. Words in parentheses indicate that specific information, such as a level, a place or a time, etc., must be inserted to complete the phrase, or alternatively that optional phrases may be used. Words in square parentheses indicate optional additional words or information that may be necessary in specific instances.

text: GM2 Appendix 1 to AMC1 SERA.14001 General

text: The phraseologies listed in Appendix 1 to AMC1 SERA.14001 are organised per phases of flight or per use of specific communication, navigation and surveillance technologies that require the exchange of specific communication between ATS personnel or ground crew and flight crews. With regard to the communications between flight crews and ATS personnel, the tables specify the ATS phraseologies to be used to perform ATC service or FIS functions respectively. Consequently, the two rightmost columns indicate which of the ATS phraseologies are to be used for ATC functions, for FIS functions, or for both ATC and FIS functions. In general, the subject SERA phraseologies constitute a standardised core content of identified phrases for usual situations; they do not constitute an exhaustive list. When circumstances differ, pilots, ATS personnel and other ground crew will be expected to use plain language which should be as clear and concise as possible and, when applicable, in the level specified in the relevant rules on language proficiency.
