Departure Procedures
Preferred runways Departure preffered runways are as follows: 26, 08. ATC Clearance All flights shall leave TMA Lublin via one of the following fixes:
LUXUD, INTUN, GOBNI
SID name shall not be put in the flight plan.
All SIDs at Bydgoszcz are RNP-1. In order to execute them, your aircraft has to be capable of area navigation (e.g. FMC, GPS, INS). If you are unable to perform it, or you are not sure about it, inform ATC before obtaining IFR clearance. You will be assigned nonRNP standard departure.
EPBY_TWR is the clearance delivery station for Bydgoszcz Airport. To get your IFR clearance, contact Bydgoszcz Tower not more than 30 minutes before Off Block Time only with your callsign and destination. Your clearance will contain: runway, assigned SID or other departure instructions, the initial climb, your squawk code and current weather information.
Please remember that currently we do not serve DCL/PDC clearance.
Taxi procedures There are no "rapid-exit" taxiways.
Wingspan limitations:
TAXIWAYS MAXIMUM WINGSPAN E1 36 m E2 E3 Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) When RVR is less than 550 m and/or cloud ceiling is less than 200 ft Low Visibility Procedures are in operation.
During LVP for departure and landing only runway 26 should be used. Runway 08 can be used for departure on request.
Minimum RVR for departure is 400 m. Minimum RVR for arrival is 550 m.
Stands There are three stands (STD 3, 4, 5) in front of the terminal. All of them require pushback operation.
STD 1, 2 are remote stands, used for civil aircrafts.
STD 6-10 are used for small cargo aircrafts, STD 11-25 are used for small business jets,
STD 26-29, 30-35 are used for training school aircrafts.
Start-up, pushback and taxi Pushback is mandatory at stands 3-5.
Start-up and pushback
Bydgoszcz Tower is responsible for all start-up, pushback and taxi. To ensure an adequate traffic flow, have your tow truck already connected when requesting pushback.
Taxi
Before requesting taxi prepare taxi charts for the aerodrome. This is very helpful for both pilots and controllers.
Take-off and departure Prior to your departure, you should double check your FMC and the transponder: make sure you have the correct SID, your squawk code set and the transponder operating in Mode C. Be ready for departure upon reaching the holding point. In order to keep runway occupancy to a minimum, expect to receive an immediate takeoff clearance. ATC will assume every aircraft at the holding point is able to commence line up and take-off roll after clearance issued with no delay. If you are unable to comply with it, inform Bydgoszcz Tower before being number 1 in departure sequence.
It is very important to strictly adhere to your SID and initial climb until given further instructions! When contacting the new controller, you should listen for other traffic talking on frequency to not interrupt them. -
Arrival Procedures
Preferred runways Arrival preffered runways are as follows: 26, 08. Arrival procedures Entry to TMA Bydgoszcz shall be planned via one of the following entry fixes: VENES, GAVDU, OGVET.
Expect being assigned the correct STAR. As with SIDs, RNAV equipment is required.
If you are unable to follow the procedure, put it in your flight plan and inform the ACC controller on initial contact. You will be assigned non-RNP STAR.
The STARs only define the horizontal flight profile. Every level change (descent) has to be explicitly instructed by the ATC.
After being issued the approach clearance, the STAR shall be continued until established on final.
When traffic load permits, you may expect a shortcut to one of the points of the procedure.
TMA Bydgoszcz is a procedural airspace, which means that controller doesn't have a radar and won't be able to see you. To provide ATC service, pilots will be asked for position reports. This report should contain current altitude and distance to next waypoint. You can also provide information about your indicated airspeed (IAS).
Final approach AVAILABLE APPROACHES
RWY 26: ILS CAT I, RNP, VOR
RWY 08: RNP, VOR
During final approach it is advised to maintain speed of 160 kts or greater (if possible) until 4 NM DME. ATC may impose other speed restrictions.
Make sure to fully vacate the runway (cross the holding point) but hold short of the next taxiway in front of you. Remain on Tower frequency until further advised.
