                                                             DVOR/DME (NEM) Relocation Project

1 .Introduction for the DVOR/DME Relocation Project in OENN:

The purpose of this AIP Supplement is to notify aircraft operators regarding the relocation of the NEM DVOR/DME system serving OENN and to provide information on the impact of this relocation on air navigation from/to OENN.

2 .Navigation and Visual Aids impacted:

The following navigation aid facilities published under KSA AIP OENN AD2.19 will be impacted:
 
DVOR/DME
System Coordinates Frequency Ident
DVOR

275555.1N
0351732.8E 		112.600 MHZ NEM
DME (CH73X)

 
ILS RWY 33
System Coordinates Frequency Ident
Localizer

275630.5N
0351704.1E 		108.900 MHZ IKHA
Glide Path 275440.9N
0351806.5E 		329.300 MHZ
DME (CH26X)

 
ILS RWY 15
System Coordinates Frequency Ident
Localizer

275421.0N
0351812.1E 		108.700 MHZ INEM
Glide Path 275614.0N
0351717.7E 		330.500 MHZ
DME (CH24X)

 

3 .Timeframe for the replacement activities:

The period of the relocation activities of the DVOR/DME system serving OENN is up to (7) Seven months; consequently, the ILS (LOC/ GP) and its associated DMEs will be shutdown as the Conventional Instrument Flight Procedures (IAPs) are not valid to support the landing operations. These activities are divided as follows:
 
Project Phases Activity Duration Consequence Remark
Phase 1 Shutdown and dismantling the current DVOR/DME system 60 Days
  • The ILS/DME systems would be unserviceable until new Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) are published in KSA AIP for OENN.
  • Suspension of ILS/DME Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) available for 33/15.
  • For any reason that caused a RWY 33/15 temporary closure (if required), the temporary closure will be notified by NOTAM, and the aircraft operators must coordinate with the aerodrome operator prior to the planned flights.
  • During the temporary closure of the RWY 33/15 (if required), cranes with a maximum height of 25 meters might be used, and the crane’s boom might be extended up to 25 meters.
  • When the construction works are close to runway strip 33/15, persons and vehicles must comply with all instructions, and clearance distances from the Runway centerline must be observed during the use of RWY 15/33.
All phases would be announced by NOTAM.
Phase 2 Civil Work and system’s hardware installation in the new location 30 Days
Phase 3 New set up and alignment for DVOR/DME system 15 Days
Phase 4 Test commissioning for the DVOR/DME system 15 Days
Phase 5 New DVOR/DME Publication and Operation 90 Days
  • Operation of new DVOR/DME and restoration of ILS/ DME systems.
  • Publication of the new Conventional Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs).

4 . Areas affected during the work in progress:

The areas affected during WIP close to RWY 15/33 are illustrated in the AD chart. A copy is provided in the attachment.
 
Area (1) – Existing DVOR Location
Points Coordinates Remarks

2 27°55'55.31"N 35°17'32.08"E  
3 27°55'54.88"N 35°17'33.53"E  
4 27°55'54.48"N 35°17'32.47"E  

 
Area (2) – New DVOR Location
Points Coordinates Remarks
1 27°56'59.99"N 35°16'49.48"E  
2 27°56'59.55"N 35°16'48.07"E

4 27°56'58.44"N 35°16'48.64"E  

5 .Impact of replacement of DVOR/DME on air navigation from/to OENN:

The following ATS Routes and Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) are impacted and withdrawn permanently due to the relo- cation of (NEM) DVOR/DME. In addition, all conventional instrument flight procedures supported by the current DVOR/DME will be withdrawn, and new aeronautical information, flight instrument procedures, and ATS route may be published during and after the relocating of NEM DVOR/DME:
  •  ATS RTE V13 SEGMENTS FROM PASAM TO DVOR/DME NEM TO DVORTAC TBK.
  •  ATS RTE W600 SEGMENT FROM DARAX TO DVOR/DME NEM.
  • ILS OR LOC RWY 15 AD 2-OENN-17, ILS OR LOC RWY 15 AD 2-OENN-18.
  • ILS OR LOC RWY 33 AD 2-OENN-19, ILS OR LOC RWY 33 AD 2-OENN-20.
  • VOR RWY 15 AD 2-OENN-21, VOR RWY 15 AD 2-OENN-22.
  • VOR RWY 33 AD 2-OENN-23, VOR RWY 33 AD 2-OENN-24.

6 .Alternative Means of Navigation available from/to OENN:

The following ATS Routes and (IAPs) can be used during the work in progress as an alternative means for air navigation during the relocation of (NEM) DVOR/DME.

6.1   Available ATS Routes to OENN:
ATS RNAV RTE Y333, Q510 and Z711.
(Check KSA AIP ENR 3.3).

6.2   Available (IAP) Procedures to OENN:
RNP ARCH RWY 15 33
(Check KSA AIP OENN AD 2.24)

6.3   Available departure Procedures for IFR flights are published in KSA AIP under OENN AD 2.22.2.
 

7 .Flight Planning:

As a consequence of the withdrawal of the conventional (ATS route), all ARR/DEP flights SHALL file their (FPLs) in accordance with the available (ATS routes) that are shown above in paragraph (6) until introducing new conventional (ATS Route) based on the new location of (NEM) DVOR/DME.

8 .Activation of the AIP supplement:

A NOTAM will be issued to activate each phase.

9 .Replacement or cancellation of the AIP SUP:

Any significant change in the current information would be notified by a replacement AIP.
This AIP Supplement will remain effective, and a NOTAM will be issued to announce the cancellation of this AIP SUP.
