AMC1 ADR.OPS.A.005 Aerodrome data

ED Decision 2014/012/R

(a)     Data relevant to the aerodrome and available services should include, but may not be limited to, items in the following list:

(1)     aerodrome reference point;

(2)     aerodrome and runway elevations;

(3)     aerodrome reference temperature;

(4)     aerodrome dimensions and related information;

(5)     strength of pavements;

(6)     pre-flight altimeter check location;

(7)     declared distances;

(8)     condition of the movement area and related facilities;

(9)     disabled aircraft removal;

(10)    rescue and firefighting; and

(11)    visual approach slope indicator systems.

(b)     The aerodrome operator should measure and report to the aeronautical information services obstacles and terrain data in Area 3, and in Area 2 (the part within the aerodrome boundary) in degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds. In addition, the top elevation, type, marking and lighting (if any) of obstacles should be reported to the aeronautical information services.

(c)      Electronic obstacle data for all obstacles in Area 2 (the part within the aerodrome boundary) that are assessed as being a hazard to air navigation should be provided.

(d)     Electronic terrain and obstacle data should be provided for:

(1)     Area 2a, for those that penetrate the relevant obstacle data collection surface;

(2)     penetrations of the take-off flight path area obstacle identification surfaces; and

(3)     penetrations of the aerodrome obstacle limitation surfaces.

(e)     Electronic terrain and obstacle data should be provided for Area 4 for terrain and obstacles that penetrate the relevant obstacle data collection surface, for all runways where precision approach Category II or III operations have been established and where detailed terrain information is required by operators to enable them to assess the effect of terrain on decision height determination by use of radio altimeters.

(f)      The aerodrome operator should establish arrangements with the Air Traffic Services providers and the Competent Authority for the provision of obstacles and terrain data outside of the aerodrome boundary.
