Speed Restrictions Tactical speed instructions 2.22.9 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) is available at PMIA to facilitate safe aircraft and vehicle movement on aerodrome surface, under various local weather conditions within the Aerodrome Visibility Operational Level (AVOL). In case A-SMGCS is unserviceable, follow me service shall be provided during low visibility condition, or the traffic movement will be restricted to one arrival and one departure aircraft at a time. 
2.22.9.1 Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS)  
2. 22.9.1.1 introduction
2. 22.9.1.1.1 The Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) at OEMA is a new surveillance system that is able to detect and identify all Mode S equipped aircraft and vehicles moving on the maneuvering area under various local weather conditions within the Aerodrome Visibility Operational Level (AVOL). This system is used by Madinah ATC TWR to control and monitor ground movements and is expected to enhance safety, efficiency and increase capacity at the airport.
2. 22.9.1.2 Carriage of Mode-S SSR Transponder
2. 22.9.1.2.1 Carriage and operation of Mode-S transponder is required for all civil aircraft operating at OEMA Airport. The Mode-S transponder must comply, at least, with the requirements of ICAO Annex 10 Volume IV Standards and Recommended Practices.
2. 22.9.1.3 A-SMGCS overview
The A-SMGCS system system is composed of several Mode-S Multilateration (MLAT) Ground Stations & Surface Movement Radars (SMRs) to provide adequate surveillance coverage within the airside. It is providing level ll functionalities for the surveillance and control of aircrafts and vehicles ground movements in order to maintain the declared movement rate under low and reduced visibility conditions at OEMA.
2. 22.9.1.3.1 The Multilateration System uses multiple transmitters/receivers ground stations to receive "squitters" transmitted by equipped aircraft and vehicles with Mode S transponders. It calculates the position of an aircraft or a vehicle by comparing the time its "squitter" arrives at each receiver.
2. 22.9.1.3.2 The System derives the identity of an aircraft and its positions / location by selectively interrogating its transponder to receive its assigned Mode A code or extracting its aircraft identification and other Aircraft Derived Data (ADD).  For vehicles equipped with transponders, the system extracts their respective assigned identities and locations from the unique Mode S addresses contained in the squitters.  All vehicles operating in the manoeuvering are required to be equipped with a transponder to allow proper identification and monitoring of their ground movements on the maneuvering area at OEMA.
2. 22.9.1.3.3 The Surface Movement Radar (SMR) is a surveillance system that detects non-cooperative targets moving in the manoeuvring area at OEMA. The integration of the multilateration ground stations with the SMR system provide surveillance data with an accuracy, update rate, and reliability suitable for improving ground surface movements in local weather conditions within the Aerodrome Visibility Operational Level (AVOL).
2. 22.9.1.4 Aircraft Requirements
2. 22.9.1.4.1 The Multilateration System is essentially passive. It relies on aircraft transponders squittering at all times when moving on the airside. For the Multilateration System to work effectively, all aircraft Mode S transponders need to transmit Mode S squitters at all times when moving on the ground at OEMA. The activation of the transponder must start before the request to push back or taxi for departing flights. For landing aircraft, the transponder must be kept in operation until the aircraft is parked on assigned stand. The Mode S transponders should not respond to All-Call interrogations but should respond to selective interrogations.
2.22.9.1.5 Procedures / Actions Required by Pilots
2. 22.9.1.5.1 The Multilateration System needs to receive squitters and to acquire the Mode A code of a Mode S equipped aircraft at all times when it is on the ground. This enables detection and identification of the aircraft (from its Mode A code or ICAO callsign) before starting the push back or taxi for departing flights and until the aircraft is parked on the stand for landing flights.
2. 22.9.1.5.2 Pre-Pushback / Taxi Pilots are required to enter the Mode A code assigned by Madinah TWR/clearance delivery at start-up. This code can be either a discrete or non-discrete code (a conspicuity code, e.g. 1000). Pilots shall ensure that the aircraft transponder is operating by selecting XPDR or equivalent according to specific installation, AUTO if available and the assigned Mode A code is selected prior to the request for pushback or taxi, whichever is earlier. Whenever the aircraft is capable of reporting aircraft identification, it must also be entered prior to the request for pushback or taxi, whichever is earlier, through the FMS or the Transponder Control Panel. Flight crew must use the operator's 3-letter ICAO designator followed by the flight identification number (for example, SVA871, AFR147).  The information entered by the pilots will be used by the A-SMGCS system to identify and label the aircraft, which will be displayed at the controller's working position.
2. 22.9.1.5.3 After Landing Pilots shall ensure that the aircraft transponder is kept ON after landing, and kept in operation until the aircraft is parked on the assigned stand. Pilots shall ensure that the assigned Mode A code is not changed until the aircraft is stationary at the stand as A-SMGCS requires Mode A to maintain the identification of the aircraft.  After parking, the Mode A code 2000 must be set before selecting OFF or STDBY on the transponder panel.

2.22.12 PROCEDURES FOR VFR FLIGHT WITHIN MADINAH CTR  
Note: All VFR flights shall enter Madinah CTR via this VRP and must contact the TWR 10NM prior the VRP.
 
Note: This VRP shall not be used as holding point.
 Circling in Circuits are not allowed in west of the aerodrome.

2.23.1 Bird concentration in the vicinity of the aerodrome
 
Due to bird strike and bird concentration in the aerodrome, pilots are requested to exercise extreme caution during take-off and landing.
 
2.23.2 Wind Shear Phenomenon at PRINCE MOHAMMAD BIN ABDULAZIZ INTERNATIONAL
 
Meteorological Authority has decided to study the wind shear phenomenon at Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Aerodrome. Therefore, pilots experiencing wind shear are requested to report time and altitude of wind shear in their post flight report to ATS unit at Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Aerodrome.
 
2.23.3 Landing and Taking off at PRINCE MOHAMMAD BIN ABDULAZIZ INTERNATIONAL
 
During landing or taking off of wide body aircraft on runway 18/36, taxing on parallel taxiway is not allowed. Preferential runway 17/35 for take off and landing - use of runway 18/36 take off or landing may be approved however delay may be experienced.
