3  GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR AIR TRAFFIC HANDLING ON THE APRONS
3.1  Use of Main Apron
Use of aprons, the assignment of parking positions as well as taxiing and towing of aircraft are subject to permission by the airport operator (Aerodrom Ljubljana, d.d.) and to instructions of the person authorised by the airport operator to conduct Ground Movement Control on the main apron.
Ground Movement Control on the main apron will be executed by Slovenia Control, Ltd. on behalf of Aerodrom Ljubljana d.d.. Pilots shall check for respective frequency on ATIS. If ATIS is not available "Ljubljana Ground" shall be contacted on 121.625 MHz. If there is no response contact "Ljubljana Tower" on 118.000 MHz.
Parking of aircraft on the assigned positions is performed either by means of visual docking guidance system (Safegate ”Safedock” System) or by signals from the marshaller.
When apron is used by larger than chapter "C" aircraft, appropriate restrictions and limitations are provided by airport operator.
All helicopters parked on main apron must contact actual ground movement control frequency before starting engines.
3.2  Taxiing of aircraft on the Main Apron
When taxiing, aircraft shall maintain permanent radio contact with station providing Ground Movement Control. Any requested changes of frequency shall be made immediately.
If Follow me car is employed to guide the taxiing aircraft, the pilot shall observe its signals. Pilots may also request a follow me car for guidance.
Aircraft may taxi on the apron only on and along the taxi guide lines. Deviations and/or short cuts are not permitted. In exceptional cases, taxiing manoeuvres aside of the guide lines are only possible under supervision of Follow me cars.
Access to PSN 32A and 32B is via TWY O1. Access to PSN 39 and 40 is via TWY O3
In special circumstances (if instructed by ATC) access to stands 36 and 37 can be made via TWY O2 or access to stand 31 can be made via TWY O1.
On the apron, aircraft are permitted to taxi only at the indispensable minimum engine speed.
3.3  Procedures for departing aircraft
Permission for push back or taxiing from a position may only be requested if the pilot can perform the manoeuvre immediately.
Pilots shall state their parking position number and current ATIS information letter on initial contact with Ground control (GMC).
ATC departure clearance is available at start-up.
3.3.1  Push back procedure
Aircraft parked in a "Nose-in" position (see AD 2 LJLJ 2.24.2-1 - Aircraft parking/docking chart ICAO ) may leave the parking position in push-back procedure only.
Pilots are instructed to obtain start up and push back clearance on the respective frequency of Ground Movement Control.
Out of ”LJUBLJANA GROUND” frequency operational hours, clearance is available on "LJUBLJANA TOWER" frequency.
In case of jet blast influence on opposite parking stands, pilots will be advised to start engines when aligned with the apron TWY by ground crew via intercom.
When using standard push back procedures nose of the aircraft from PSN 1 – 4 is facing westerly (north-west) and from PSN 5 – 12 is facing easterly (south-east). Pilots may receive instructions for non-standard push back direction from the controller.
After completion of the push back "ready to taxi" shall be reported to the respective frequency of Ground Movement Control.
3.3.2  Procedure for departing aircraft parked other than nose in parking positions
Pilots are instructed to obtain start up clearance and taxi instructions on the respective frequency of Ground Movement Control.
3.3.3  Usage of increased engine power for starting-up procedure (cross-bleed start)
Aircraft intending to increase the engine power for starting up another engine (cross-bleed start) shall obtain prior permission from Ground Movement Control. Procedure for aircraft intending to increase the engine for starting up another engine (cross-bleed start) shall be in two (2) stages:
  • I. Stage - Obtain permission from Ground Movement Control (ATC) for first engine start with aircraft power unit (APU) and ground power unit (GPU) on parking stand.
  • II. Stage - Obtain permission from Ground Crew to start all others engines on the dedicated cross-bleed start position.
3.3.4  Departure Procedures – With Radar Control
Aircraft departing RWY 13 may expect following ATC clearance:
  • RWY 13, Climb to 6000 ft on runway heading, further by Radar.
Aircraft departing RWY 31 may expect following ATC clearance:
  • RWY31, Climb to 6000 ft on RWY heading, at MW turn left HDG 180, further by Radar, or
  • Standard Instrument Departure procedure; MODRO 1D departure.
ATC clearance will be delivered from Ground Movement Control. Pilots shall request ATC clearance on stand prior request for start-up and/or push-back clearance.

Example: Ljubljana ground, “call sign”, stand “number”, Information “letter”, request clearance, and start up, or request clearance start up and push-back.

3.4  Procedures for arriving aircraft
Arriving aircrafts will be assisted in taxiing on the main apron by a “Follow me” car.
Airport Dispatch "LJUBLJANA HANDLING" assigns aircraft parking positions on the apron. Pilots are guided to the assigned parking positions by the station providing Ground Movement Control via radio "LJUBLJANA GROUND/TOWER" and/or by follow me car.
Parking positions 3, 4, 5 and 6 are equipped with Visual Docking Guidance System (Safegate "Safedock" System). On parking positions without VDGS, aircraft are guided by a marshaller.
3.4.1  Instructions for visual docking guidance system
Check that the correct aircraft type is displayed. The scrolling arrows indicate that the system is activated.

Follow the lead in line.
When the solid yellow closing rate field appears, the aircraft has been caught by the scanning unit. The scanning unit now checks that the aircraft is the correct type and the display provides azimuth guidance information.

Look for the flashing red arrow and solid yellow arrow which provide azimuth guidance information.
The flashing red arrow shows which direction to steer, while solid yellow arrow gives an indication of how far the aircraft is off of the centreline.

When the aircraft is 12 m from the stop position, closing rate information is given. 'Distance to run" is indicated by turning off one row of LED's for each one half meter that the aircraft advances toward the stop position.

When the correct stop position is reached, all of the LED's for the closing rate field will be off, the word "STOP" will appear in the display and two red rectangular fields will light in the azimuth guidance area of the display.

If the aircraft stops in the correct position, "OK" will be displayed after a few seconds

If the aircraft has gone past the correct stop position, the display will show 'T-FAR" (too far).

The aircraft type must be verified at least 12 m before the correct stop position. If this does not occur, the system displays "STOP" with two red rectangular fields being lit in the azimuth guidance area of the display.

While the aircraft is stopped, the system will attempt to verify it. If successful, the docking procedure will continue. lf any unverified object is found in the scanning area during docking, the system will show 'WAIT"

When the object has disappeared, the procedure will be resumed.
3.5  Non-marked parking areas and special purpose parking positions
Non-marked parking areas may also be assigned for parking. Non-marked parking areas are used mainly for larger aircraft types.
Parking position 8A and 3A are designed for chapter "D" aircraft. Parking position 3A, 8A, 13A and 15A are designed for chapter "D" aircraft.
Parking position 1A is used mainly for special purpose flights and it is self manoeuvring.
3.6  General Aviation Apron
For general aviation a separate General Aviation Apron is available (See Aerodrome Chart).
Permission for the use of GA apron is issued by assignment of Follow me cars or by airport operator via radio (call sign "GENERAL AVIATION" on 131.400 MHz) or telephone. General aviation aircraft shell be parked as instructed by airport operator.
All taxiing manoeuvres conducted on general aviation apron are the pilots own responsibility.
When departing from GA apron, pilots are instructed to contact "LJUBLJANA TOWER" on 118.000 MHz. VFR traffic should check ATIS before initial contact with TWR or ground movement control.
4  AIRCRAFT DE/ANTI-ICING PROCEDURES
4.1  Introduction
De/anti-icing notification shall be directed to Handling Supervisor on apron or to Ground Handling Coordinator via frequency 131.400 MHz, at least 15 minutes before required time of de/anti-icing. The notification shall include flight number, aircraft type and parts of aircraft (e.g. wing, under wing, gear etc.) which shall be de/anti-iced.
De/anti-icing procedure is performed at de/anti-icing pad. In special circumstances the procedure can be made at the aircraft stands or on TWY M, N or P. Only in extremely severe weather condition the procedure can be made at the beginning of the RWY.

De/anti-icing fluids used at Ljubljana Airport:

  • ADF ISO type I: Clariant SAFEWING MP I 1938 TF
  • ADF ISO type IV: Clariant SAFEWING MP IV 2001-green
4.2  De/anti-icing at position - DE-1 (at de/anti-icing pad)
Position DE-1 is located on southeastern part of the apron and is accessible via TWY E1 and TWY E4. Before de/anti-icing pilots need to request ATC for start-up and taxi onto the de/anti-icing pad. Taxiing onto de/anti-icing pad and parking there is guided by marshaller. All taxiing manoeuvres may only be carried out at the indispensable minimum engine speed.
On the de/anti-icing pad, jet aircraft up to ICAO category C (A320), with running engines and an APU which is switched off, will normally be de/anti-iced. Propeller driven aircraft (exept ATR 42/72), may not be de/anti-iced at the pad for safety reasons. Special control examinations of individual aircraft parts (e.g. hands on checks) cannot be carried out as well.
4.3   De/anti-icing
The de/anti-icing of aircraft at the respective aircraft stand will take place with aircraft engines switched off, with all doors closed and the position clear of all handling equipment.
The de/anti-icing beneath the wings, engine de/anti-icing with hot air, belly and gear de/anti-icing and snow removal will take place on these areas.
4.4  Communication
During the de/anti-icing proceedings the pilot-in-command shall maintain constant radio contact with ground handling coordinator and with the de/anti-icing team leader on frequency 131.400 MHz as well as with ATC on 118.000 MHz.
The de/anti-icing operation will begin after the pilot has confirmed, that aircraft is ready for spraying. After completed de/anti-icing and transmission of the de/anti-icing code by the de/anti-icing team leader, pilot shall report ready for taxi to ATC.

  • *RVR assessment system at position ALPHA (touch down zone), BRAVO (runway mid-point) and CHARLIE (stop end).

Note: * Facilities required for Non-Guided LVTO (see para 5).

4.4  Criteria for the initiation and termination of low visibility procedures (LVP):
The initiation of LVP will be implemented in two phases.
  • Preparation phase
  • Operations phase.
4.4.1 The preparation phase will be implemented when the RVR falls below 800 M and/or the ceiling is at or below 300 FT and CAT II/III operations are anticipated.
4.4.2 The operations phase will be commenced when the RVR falls below 550 M and the ceiling is at or below 200 FT. Pilots will be informed by R/T or ATIS on first contact by the following standard message:

"Low Visibility Procedures in operation"

4.4.3 LVP will be terminated when the RVR is greater than 800 M and the ceiling is above 300 FT and a continuing improvement of these conditions is expected.

Pilots will be informed by RTF or ATIS using the phraseology: "Low Visibility Procedures cancelled at time …….."

4.5  ATC Procedures:
4.5.1  Information given to pilots:
  • Together with approach clearance and before reaching the Outer Marker the RVR value for position ALPHA.
    The RVR at positions BRAVO and CHARLIE are given only when they are:
    • below RVR at position ALPHA and below 800 M;
    • below 400 M;
    • on pilots request.
  • As soon as one of the following events occurs:
    • any significant change of the surface wind (direction and speed),
    • any significant change of RVR prior the ACFT passing the OM.
    • any changes in the status of operation of CAT II/III facilities
4.5.2  Separations:
  • An aircraft carrying out a CAT II/III approach shall not pass the final approach point (FAF ABEAM NDB KAM D4.5 DOL) before the preceding aircraft has landed.
  • Separation between an aircraft carrying out a CAT II/III approach on RWY 31 and an aircraft rolling for take off on RWY 31 shall ensure that the departing aircraft will pass over the ILS localizer antenna before the arriving aircraft reaches a point 2 NM from touchdown. To achieve this the departing aircraft must commence its take-off run before the arriving aircraft reaches a point 8 NM from touchdown.
4.5.3  Radar vectoring:
Arriving aircraft will be vectored so as to ensure the interception of the ILS at the FAF ABEAM NDB KAM D4.5 DOL.
4.5.4  Clearance for approach:
ATC issues a clearance for ILS approach regardless of the Category flown.
4.5.5  Landing clearance:
Landing clearance shall be delivered normally prior an arriving aircraft reaches a distance of 2 NM from treshold. In exceptional cases transmission may be delayed until a distance of 1 NM from treshold in which case pilots must be informed accordingly.
4.5.6  Pilots procedures:
Whenever CAT II/III approaches are carried out the pilots shall preferably vacate the runway via Taxiway GOLF. Pilots shall report when landed and additionally runway vacated when passing the end of the colour coded yellow-green taxiway centre line lights.
Aircraft shall use taxiways ALPHA (A) and KILO (K) when departing RWY 13 is in use.
Intersection take-offs are not permitted.
4.5.7  Initiation and continuation of an ILS approach taking into account the reported RVR:
A pilot may initiate an approach, regardless on whether the reported touch-down zone RVR does or does not meet the company required minimum RVR value for the touch-down zone. An approach, however, must not be continued beyond the outer marker (OM or an equivalent point) unless the reported touchdown zone RVR is at least equal to the minimum required RVR. When the pilot has passed the outer- marker he may continue approach regardless of any RVR changes reported, descending to the DH. From DH the approach may be continued to the landing provided that the required visual reference can be established and maintained.

Note: The OCA(H) values are promulgated on the respective instrument approach charts. The fixed minimum required RVR value for CAT III approach at Ljubljana airport is 125 M.

4.5.8  Information regarding malfunction and downgrading of the approach procedure:
A change in operational status, if caused by a failure expected to last more than one hour, will be promulgated by NOTAM. Pilots will be notified of shorter term deficiencies by ATC (RTF and/or ATIS). During approach, immediately after occurrence the following information will be relayed, if necessary, together with downgrading of the approach category:
