  • Preferred runways Departure preferred runways are as follows: 26, 08.
    ATC Clearance

    All flights shall leave TMA Krakow via one of the following fixes:

    ADADO, BABKO, LUMVE, LUXAR, NAVUR, OMFOL, KURON, REGTO, TUSIN.

    SID name shall not be put in the flight plan.

    All SIDs at Katowice are RNAV 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.

    Expect being assigned the correct STAR. As with SIDs, RNAV 1 equipment is required.

    Katowice Delivery (EPKT_DEL) is the clearance delivery station for Katowice Airport. To get your IFR clearance, contact Katowice Delivery not more than 30 minutes before Off Block Time only with your callsign, destination and received ATIS information. Your clearance will contain: runway, assigned SID or other departure instructions, the initial climb, your squawk code and current ATIS information.

    If you are unable to comply with SIDs request a non-standard departure on initial contact with clearance delivery. In that case you may expect radar vectoring after departure.

    Please remember that currently we do not serve DCL/PDC clearance. 
    Taxi procedures Runway 26 is equipped with 1 "rapid-exit" taxiway TWY N. 

    Deicing is performed at APN 2 (STD 70-72) or STD 9-15.

    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.

    After landing runway should be vacated via taxiway N.

    Minimum RVR for departure is 125 m. Minimum RVR for arrival is 300 m.
    Stands At Katowice Airport there are few stands with jetway – 22, 23 and 24. If all gates are occupied, regular operators are parking on other stands. 
    STANDARD PARKING POSITIONS
    LOW COST 1-29
    REGULAR OPERATORS 1-29
    CARGO 80-94
    GA/VIP APN 4, APN 6
    Start-up, pushback and taxi Pushback is mandatory at stands 1-29, 31-39, 80-94. On stands 70-72 and GA stands you can taxi out of the stand. 
    Start-up and pushback
    Katowice 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. On some remote stands pushback is not required, just request start-up and then you can taxi out of stand. 
    Taxi
    Before requesting taxi prepare taxi charts for the aerodrome. This is very helpful for both pilots and controllers. 
    Take-off and departure  Delivery controller will handle you to Tower with “contact” or “monitor frequency” instruction. If you are advised to monitor frequency – do not transmit, wait for controller to call you. When contacting Tower – contact with your callsign only, controller will find you.

    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 Katowice 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.
  • Preferred runways Arrival preferred runways are as follows: 26, 08.
    Arrival Procedures

    Entry to TMA Krakow shall be planned via one of the following entry fixes: 

    GOVRI, KUKAM, LENOV, MEBAN, MOFKE, BAVOK, UWLER.

    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 may expect vectors for arrival.

    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.

    STAR may be cancelled by ATC before FAF/FAP by vectoring to the approach.
    Final Approach AVAILABLE APPROACHES

    RWY 26: ILS CAT I-II, RNP, VOR

    RWY 08: RNP, VOR

    During final approach it is advised to maintain speed of 180 kts or greater (if possible) until 6NM DME and 160 kts or greater (if possible) until 4 NM DME. ATC may impose other speed restrictions.
    If unable to comply, notify ATC immediately.
    On runway

    For RWY 26 it is preferred to vacate via N.

    For RWY 08 it is preferred to vacate via S.
    Taxi-in After finishing landing roll and vacating the RWY, the crew shall establish communication with Tower and will receive taxi instructions.
