2.22.2.3.1 Independent Parallel Approaches (Mode 1)

Independent parallel approaches are simultaneous approaches to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where radar separation minima between aircraft on adjacent extended runway center lines are not prescribed.
During Independent Parallel Approaches operations (Mode 1), in the final Approach Sector, the minimum surveillance separation of 1,000 ft vertical or 5.0 NM horizontal is required until aircraft are established on the final approach tracks.
When Independent Parallel Approaches are in operation, pilots must advise in the initial contact with Riyadh Approach Control, if they are unable to participate.
When Independent Parallel Approaches are in operation, all arrival traffic within 25 NM from KSA DVORTAC must monitor the final approach monitoring controller frequency 125.600MHz until landed.
The applicable instrument approach procedures for Simultaneous Independent Parallel Approaches at Riyadh King Khaled International Airport are as follows:
OERK ILS Z RWY 33L OERK ILS Z RWY 33R
OERK ILS Y RWY 33L OERK ILS Y RWY 33R
OERK ILS Z RWY 15L OERK ILS Z RWY 15R
OERK ILS Y RWY 15L OERK ILS Y RWY 15R

Each pair of parallel approaches has a "high side" and a "low side" to provide vertical separation until the aircraft are both established inbound on their respective instrument approach procedures. The flights need to be established at the "high side"/"low side" altitude
before receiving vectors for the ILS localizer course
Independent Parallel Approaches operations will be notified to pilots via ATIS during active periods.

2.22.2.3.1.1 Normal Operating Zone (NOZ)

An airspace of defined dimensions extending to either side of a published instrument approach procedure final approach course or track. Only half of the normal operating zone adjacent to a no transgression zone (NTZ) is taken into account in independent
parallel approaches.

2.22.2.3.1.2 No Transgression Zone (NTZ)

In the context of independent parallel approaches, a corridor of airspace of defined dimensions is located centrally between the two extended runway center lines, where a penetration by an aircraft requires an ATCO intervention to maneuver any threatened
aircraft on the adjacent approach.

2.22.2.3.1.3 Break-Out Maneuvers

If the ATC surveillance system display indicates that an aircraft will penetrate the NTZ, an advisory broadcast will be issued to the aircraft, the phraseology will be: “(call sign), radar indicates you are deviating (left/right) of the final approach path”.
If any aircraft is committing an NTZ infringement, the final Approach monitoring controller will provide a break-out instruction to the aircraft under their responsibility to protect it from the threat. Break-out maneuvers consist of heading and altitude instructions.
The final approach monitoring controller will issue a break-out maneuver on the monitor control frequency of 125.600 MHZ or will override the relevant tower frequency when issuing a break-out maneuver because of the infringement of the NTZ from the
adjacent approach path.
BREAK-OUT phraseology will be:
BREAK-OUT Alert, (callsign), turn (Left or Right), Immediately Heading (3 digits), Climb (or descend) to (altitude).
No break-out maneuvers will be issued when aircraft is below 400ft AGL.

2.22.2.3.2 Dependent Parallel Approaches (Mode 2)

Dependent Parallel Approaches are simultaneous approaches to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where radar separation minima between aircraft on adjacent extended runway center lines are prescribed
During Dependent Parallel Approaches operations (Mode 2), in the final Approach Sector, the minimum surveillance separation of 1,000 ft vertical or 5.0 NM horizontal is required until aircraft are established on the final approach tracks.
During Dependent Parallel Approaches operations, a 2 NM diagonal shall be provided between inbound aircraft established on the final approach tracks. The applicable instrument approach procedures for Simultaneous Dependent Parallel Approaches at Riyadh King Khaled International
Airport are as follows:
OERK ILS Z RWY 33L OERK ILS Z RWY 33R
OERK ILS Y RWY 33L OERK ILS Y RWY 33R
OERK ILS Z RWY 15L OERK ILS Z RWY 15R
OERK ILS Y RWY 15L OERK ILS Y RWY 15R

Each pair of parallel approaches has a "high side" and a "low side" to provide vertical separation until the aircraft are both established inbound on their respective instrument approach procedures. The flights need to be established at the "high side"/"low side" altitude
before receiving vectors for the ILS localizer course. Dependent Parallel Approaches operations will be notified to pilots via ATIS during active periods.

2.22.2.4 Approach facilities

The following approach facilities are available at Riyadh/ King Khaled International Airport:
  • ILS or LOC,
  • VOR,

2.22.9 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES

Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) is available at KKIA 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 OERK is a new surveillance system that is able to detect and identify all Mode S equipped aircraft and vehicles moving on manoeuvering area under various local weather conditions within the Aerodrome Visibility Operational Level (AVOL). This system is used by Riyadh ATC TWR to control and monitor ground movements and is expected to enhance the 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 OERK 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 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 aircraft and vehicles ground movements in order to maintain the declared movement rate under low and reduced visibility conditions at OERK.

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 / locations 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 their 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 manoeuvering area at OERK.

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 OERK. 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 OERK. 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 Riyadh 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.
