ED Decision 2024/004/R
PROCEDURE FOR REDUCED RUNWAY LENGTH OPERATIONS
(a) The procedure for reduced runway length operations, when works require the reduction of the declared distances should include the following:
(1) the identification of potential hazards and assessment and mitigation of the associated risks, as necessary, before, during, and on cessation of operations with reduced declared distances available and works-in-progress to ensure the safety of aircraft operations;
(2) the calculation and establishment, where necessary, of a revised runway strip, runway safety area (RESA) and obstacle limitation surfaces, such as the approach and take-off climb surfaces;
(3) the establishment of a safety zone between the area of the runway that is in use and the worksite or unusable runway;
(4) the promulgation of the details of the reduced declared distances in accordance with point ADR.OPS.A.057 and, when possible, the broadcast of the information on automatic terminal information service (ATIS); and
(5) the assessment and mitigation of the impact on the ability of the rescue and firefighting services and the emergency services to perform their functions.
(b) The aerodrome operator, in cooperation with air traffic services, should be responsible for coordinating and managing the opening and closing of the runway and other parts of the movement area, as necessary, and the worksite.
(c) The aerodrome operator should coordinate and approve any tactical decision concerning aircraft operations, which deviate from the agreed operational procedures, with the exception of any tactical decisions with an urgent safety nature.
(d) The aerodrome operator should be responsible for monitoring the safety of aerodrome and aircraft operations in the proximity of the worksite, to ensure that timely and corrective action is taken, when necessary.
AMC1 ADR.OPS.B.070(d) outlines procedures for reduced runway length operations, including hazard assessment, revised surfaces, safety zones, promulgation, and coordination responsibilities.
