2.22.3 ATC SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES WITHIN MADINAH TMA/CTA
  • Madinah approach control service operates one Terminal Area Surveillance Radar (TMARs) stations located at OEMA. The Radar station has combined PSR and MSSR system with maximum PSR range of 80 NM and maximum MSSR range of 250 NM. Emergency codes 7700, 7600, and 7500 are monitored.
  • All aircraft must squawk the transponder on the last assigned code until / unless otherwise instructed.
  • For radar procedures, refer to ENR 1.6 RADAR SERVICES AND PROCEDURES.
  • For cross-checking of altitudes assigned while under radar control, refer to ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude Chart .

Two-way radio communication failure procedure
  • Squawk 7600 mode A/3
  • Follow com failure procedure on ENR 1.6

Specific communication failure procedures are provided in the relevant Instrument Approach Charts.
 
Speed Restrictions
  • Within Madinah TMA (Airspace Classification “C”), the speed is limited to max 250 Kt IAS below altitude 10 ,000 ft except with explicit clearance by ATC.
  • For ACFT which cannot maintain max 250 Kt IAS for technical reasons or flight quality, a higher speed is possible after ATC clearance.

Tactical speed instructions
  • Speed instructions during approach are issued by ATC for safety and efficiency purposes and are to be flown accurately.
  • Pilots should advice immediately if circumstances necessitate change of speed for ACFT performance reasons.
  • Pilot should expect to be given the following speed restrictions:
    – 220 Kt IAS on downwind and base leg until intercepting the LOC;
    – Between 200 Kt IAS and 180 Kt IAS by capturing the GS;
    – Then 160 Kt IAS on final approach until 4NM final.
  • If speed restrictions are not necessary ATC will announce clearly: “No speed restriction”

2.22.9 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES
 
If visibility reduces to the extent that the LCA and GND controllers cannot observe aircraft operations, then operations are restricted to 1 arrival
and 1 departure at a time.

OEMA AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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.
 
2.23.4 Fixed ground power at east apron
 
Use of fixed GND PWR (400 HZ) at East Apron is mandatory. All inbound ACFT shall connect to fixed GND PWR within MAX 5 MIN after docking. All outbound ACFT allowed to start auxiliary PWR unit 15 MIN before engine start. Nose in ACFT may start one engine at low PWR if auxiliary PWR unit is non-operative.
