UATE AD 2.20 Local Aerodrome Regulations
1. Airport regulations
The movement of aircraft around the airfield is carried out under the power of its own engines and towing by tractors.
Taxiing and towing are carried out according to the established markings. Occupying the runway for taxiing (towing) and for aircraft takeoff is carried out with the permission of the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
On the apron stands it is allowed to start and test engines in low throttle modes upon request from the Aktau Tower air traffic controller, taking into account safety measures.
If the APU is faulty, starting one engine before towing to the engine launch site is carried out with the permission of the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
Testing (checking) of aircraft engines at modes exceeding “idle throttle” is carried out on stand 208.
It is prohibited to start the engines while the aircraft is being towed.
Towing an aircraft with a running engine (started during towing) on a snowy, ice-covered (slippery) apron is prohibited.
Replace aircraft wheels using a jack only on hard surfaces (concrete, concrete pads).
The crew notifies the Aktau Tower air traffic controller about the need for anti-icing treatment.
Coordination of processing is carried out by Aktau Transit at a frequency of 131.900 MHz.
Aircraft processing is provided in two stages Type – 1 (SAE AMS1424 Type I Qualified Fluids) Aerodynamic and Anti-icing Endurance Performance and Тype - 4 (SAE AMS1428 Type IV Qualified Fluids) Fluids Qualified at AMIL for Aerodynamic and Anti-icing Endurance Performance Treatment with anti-icing liquids is carried out:
- on the center line of apron without running engines
The number of stands, procedure for placing the aircraft on the stand is assigned by the Aktau airport Production and dispatcher service, based on the actual situation on the apron, the presence of short-term restrictions and prohibitions on parking and movement of aircraft on the maneuvering area of the airfield.The aircraft launch location on the apron is determined by the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
In case of operational necessity, the service of draining fuel from the aircraft on the stand is provided according to the procedure.
Access to the Aktau Aerodrome Manual of third-party organizations is provided upon request by e-mail “office@aktau-airport.kz”
2. Taxiing to/from aircraft stands.
Towing, engine starting and taxiing of aircraft to and from the stands is carried out with the permission of the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
Before starting the engines, the crew must listen to the ATIS information, before launching (towing) establish contact with the Aktau Tower air traffic controller on the frequency 120.700 MHz, report the index of the current ATIS information, the stand number and receive ATC clearance for departure.
Depending on the ground and air situation, runway operational direction the Tower air traffic controller enters “holding procedure of start-up clearance” with the timing and start-up sequence of aircraft or informs the crew about the expected delay and gives permission to start the engines at the discretion of the crew.
Escorting (leading) of the aircraft is carried out regardless of the time of day by the escort vehicle when the low visibility procedures are in progress, in the absence of visibility of the markings of the aircraft intended for movement, or by the request of the aircraft crew.
The order of taxiing in and out at (from) the stand:
- Taxiing to all stands is carried out under the power of its own engines.
- The aircraft is taxied by towing.
- If the aircraft is not parked according to the parking lot markings, the aircraft is taxied under the power of its own engines under the guidance of the greeter or escort vehicle.
3. Limitations during taxiing
After landing on Runway 11/29, aircraft turns are carried out at the turn pads at the end of Runway 11/29, with the exception of class 3, 4 aircraft and helicopters.
Aircraft located on taxiway-B (bravo), taxiway-C (charli) are prohibited from crossing the marked holding position at runway 11/29 without permission from the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
4. Take-off and landing
When taking a line-up possition on Runway 11/29, the aircraft crew reports its readiness for takeoff to the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
After receiving a report from the aircraft crew about readiness for takeoff, the Aktau Tower controller, depending on the air situation, may allow the aircraft crew to take a line-up possition and take off immediately. The aircraft crew is obliged to inform the Aktau Tower air traffic controller if it cannot take off immediately.If the runway is busy or there are no acceptable separation, the Aktau Tower air traffic controller allows the aircraft crew only to take the line-up possition. At the same time, the aircraft crews comply with all taxiing procedures in accordance with the requirements of the aircraft type manual and other regulatory documents, including taxi speed:
- under normal environmental conditions and runway conditions, no more than 30 knots (55 km/h) on long runway distances and no more than 20 knots (37 km/h) on short runway distances;
- in conditions of low visibility procedures and meteorological conditions that contribute to the deterioration of the runway condition by no more than 10 knots (18 km/h).
Pre-flight checks by the crew in the cockpit must be completed before the line-up possition. Checks required while on the runway should be kept to a minimum. The aircraft crew takes off immediately after receiving take-off clearance.If the aircraft crew cannot fulfill the above requirement, they must inform the Aktau Tower air traffic controller about this before taxiing onto the runway and inform him of the required delay time.
Depending on the air or ground situation, it is permitted to take off from the intersection of taxiway-B (bravo), taxiway-C(charli) of the Runway 11/29 at the request of the crew of a class 3, 4 aircraft or at the initiative of the Aktau Tower air traffic controller. The aircraft takes off from a point on the runway where the available characteristics of the runway from the start of the take-off run correspond to those required for the actual take-off weight of the aircraft and take-off conditions.The final decision on takeoff from the intersection of the taxiway and the runway is made by the aircraft pilot-in-command.
Engines are warmed up and tested before takeoff on the runway or taxiway with the permission of the Aktau Tower air traffic controller after a request from the aircraft crew.
Take-off and landing of aircraft with a tailwind is permitted in order to speed up the flow of aircraft at the request of the aircraft crew or on the initiative of the air traffic control unit. Responsibility for making a decision on such a takeoff or landing rests with the aircraft pilot-in-command.
In order to reduce the runway occupancy time, the Aktau Tower air traffic controller can issue a command to accelerate the release of Runway 11/29. If it is impossible to perform the required operation, the crew immediately informs the air traffic controller.The final decision on whether to take off or land under weather conditions that do not meet the airfield operating minimum is made by the aircraft pilot-in-command. In this case, the air traffic control clearance for takeoff or landing is not a force on the aircraft pilot-in-command to carry it out, and responsibility for the decision made and the outcome of the takeoff or landing rests with the aircraft pilot-in-command. The designation of a runway is made by the ATS unit, taking into account the aircraft landing or taking off into the wind, unless safety considerations, runway configuration, meteorological conditions and applicable approach procedures or air traffic conditions make another direction preferable.
5. Training and practice flights, check-test and check flights (flyover)
Educational and training flights, control and test flights (overflights) of aircraft are carried out in accordance with the requirements established by the Rules for Flight Operations in Civil Aviation. An IFR flight is carried out according to established procedures for instrumental takeoff and approach. After takeoff, the crew maintains the conditions specified by the air traffic controller for fitting into the approach pattern. The VFR flight is carried out along a route agreed with the ATS unit. The number of aircraft performing educational, training, control, test and control flights (overflights) within TMA 1, TMA 2 and CTR of the Aktau airfield is determined by the Aktau Tower supervisor, based on the presence of prohibited zones and flight restriction zones, air and meteorological conditions. Depending on the intensity of flights and the restrictions imposed, the Aktau Tower supervisor is given the right to limit the number of training aircraft, suspend or prohibit training flights.Control and test flights of aircraft are carried out during the day for all types of aircraft.
6. Procedures in low visibility conditions
LVP are introduced when RVR is less than 550 m.The start of LVP actions is announced via the ATIS channel or by the ATS unit with the message “Low visibility procedures are in progress.”Runway 11/29 are equipped for takeoff in LVP conditions.Runway 11/29 are equipped for precision approach and landing under category I.Crossing the “STOP” line lights that are on is prohibited. The aircraft crew is informed by the ATS unit about changes in the operational status of radio, lighting, and meteorological equipment.
7. Helicopter flights
Taxiing on helicopters is carried out taking into account wind restrictions, according to the Flight Manual, with constant visibility of landmarks ahead. The air movement of a helicopter with a skid type landing gear from the parking area to the take-off location and back is carried out along the route assigned by the Aktau Tower air traffic controller to the PMU under the responsibility of the helicopter pilot-in-command. The helicopter engines are started at stands 20-24 for warming up and testing only at low throttle.
Control hovering is permitted only over runway 11/29, taxiway-B(bravo), taxiway-C(charli).
Take-off/landing is permitted by helicopter in the daytime, from (on) taxiway-B(bravo), taxiway-C(charli), in compliance with the established intervals between aircraft take-offs and landings, subject to the established minimum weather conditions for flights under VFR (special VFR).
Responsibility for the takeoff (landing) in this case rests with the helicopter pilot-in-command.Helicopters take off from the airfield after:
- crew report on readiness for takeoff (by plane, by helicopter), and obtaining permission for takeoff from the Aktau Tower air traffic controller.
For a takeoff by helicopter, landing the helicopter after a control hover is not necessary. The height of the control hover is determined by the helicopter pilot-in-command, but the helicopter performing the control hover must not interfere with the takeoff and landing of other aircraft. If there are weather conditions or smoke on a part of the runway that impairs visibility to values below the established weather minimum for flights under VFR (special VFR), it is permitted to land on that part of the runway where the weather conditions correspond to the minimum (beginning/middle/end). Responsibility for making such a landing rests with the helicopter pilot-in-command.
Take-off and landing with a run, take-off and landing of a helicopter at night and when flying under IFR are performed from/to the runway.
8. Removal of all those who have lost the ability to move
Reflected in the “Emergency Plan” of Aktau International Airport. Access to the “Emergency Plan” of third-party organizations is provided upon request by e-mail "office@aktau-airport.kz”

UATE AD 2.22 Flight Procedures
1. General
RWY 11/29 approved for CAT I operations.
2. Low Visibility Procedures.
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) are effected when RVR is less than 550 m. Low Visibility Procedures are cancelled when RVR is 550 m. and greater. The start of LVP procedures is reported to flight crew by ATC with the following phrase:: “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION”.
Control of obstacles presence on RWY and in ILS critical zones is carried out by air traffic controller according to the reports of flight crew or aerodrome service specialist reports.
The ATC informs flight crew about:
- any changes in the operational status of radio and lighting equipment;
- changes of surface wind;
- changes of RVR;
- changes of ceiling (vertical visibility).
3. Arriving Aircraft
Vacation of runway shall be reported on TWY only when passing of critical zone.
Aircraft parking shall be carried out by signals of marshalling person.
4. Departing Aircraft
Aircraft shall stop at the holding position before the light sign of runway designation.
5. VFR procedures within the aerodrome control zone (CTR)
Air traffic service in the control zone of the aerodrome is carried out by the controller of the “Tower” ATC unit. Flight altitudes are calculated by the aircraft crew in accordance with the Civil Aviation Flight Rules of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The functions of Air traffic service does not include ground collision avoidance. The aircraft crew shall ensure that the clearance issued by the ATS unit in this regard is safe. VFR flights at altitudes below 3000 feet in the control zone are performed at the altitudes indicated in the flight plan or requested by the aircraft crew.
Flights must not be performed over populated areas within the control zone.
For VFR flights, the aerodrome has a flight circle (left / right) at an altitude of 500 feet. The air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit is determine and report which flight circle is in use.
Entering the flight circle, crossing the runway alignment is made only with the permission of the air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit.
The aircraft crew preliminarily agrees with the ATS unit the flight area and altitude range during aerial work in the control zone at absolute altitudes.
When entering the control zone (CTR) from uncontrolled airspace, the aircraft crew must obtain an air traffic control clearance 5 minutes before the estimated time of entering the controlled airspace.
Entry / exit of aircraft of category A and helicopters flying in VFR to / from the control zone (CTR) is carried out at the shortest distance through the corresponding point.
If the air situation requires the holding procedure, the air traffic controller of the “Tower” ATC unit gives the instructions to the aircraft crew to follow to one of the holding points.

- CDOs are executed only by ACFT that use standard arrival procedures RNAV1 based on GNSS.
- Although these procedures are designed as a closed path, they permit distance planning for CDO, allowing the ACFT Flight Management System/Computer (FMS/FMC) to accurately execute automated optimized descents when:
- ACFT is cleared to proceed to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints in order to provide an optimum lateral flight path up to and including the FAP and thus the exact distance to the RWY is known prior to start of the continuous descent operation; or
- the pilots of the ACFT that to be vectored to final are provided with distance-to-go information.
- CDOs are authorized only when following conditions are respected:
- ILS of RWY intended for landing is in operation;
- no adverse weather conditions that may affect CDO;
- no system degradations that may affect GNSS or ILS operation.
- After receiving “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL)” or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” clearance the pilot is allowed to plan/optimize vertical profile in order to apply CDO to FAP.
- Depending on traffic, CDO may start from TOD or lower levels.
- In accordance with appropriate ATC clearances, CDO can start from the TOD when ACFT is cleared to a waypoint or via a combination of waypoints for direct routing/shortcut and the horizontal trajectory is defined up to and including the FAP. Thus, the exact distance to RWY is known and the descent profile can be readily calculated by the appropriate on board system (FMS) prior to start of the CDO.
- After clearance “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL) " or “DESCEND TO (LEVEL) AT PILOTS DISCRETION” pilot should maintain the cruising/last assigned level until the optimal descent point/TOD that is determined by pilot or FMS, then start descent with no extra requests unless other ATC instructions are issued.
- If necessary ATC may issue additional instructions: “WHEN READY DESCEND TO (LEVEL), REPORT LEAVING (or REPORT TOP-OF-DESCENT)”
- Considering airspace structure, ATC issues an instruction to descend to level(s) above level of FAP. Wherein ATC issues further descent instruction prior to CDO flight reaching 3000 feet (900 m) above last assigned level.
- It is preferable if CDO is commenced from top of descent. If it is not feasible due to traffic, CDO may be initiated from any lower level.
- As a portion of the procedure consists of vectoring, the specific distance to RWY threshold is not known to a pilot prior to start of the CDO. In such cases, ATC will provide the pilot with an estimate of the flight track-miles to the RWY threshold as distance-to-go information. The pilot will use this information to determine the optimum descent rate to achieve a CDO.
- ACFT not exceed IAS 220 knots closer 15 n.m. to RW threshold.
7. Continuous Climb Operation
Continuous Climb Operations (CCO) are conducted along standard instrument departure routes (SID RNAV1) using GNSS. The feasibility of CCO is determined by the ATC based on the current air traffic situation and operational traffic density.

2. The bird aggregations in the vicinity of the airport.
Intensive flights of flocks of pigeons, sparrows and gulls occur periodically within 1-2 hours before and after sunrise, when birds fly from their resting place (from the sea west of the runway) across the runway through the approach zone of runway 11 and runway 29 to the feeding areas. The altitude of the bird flights is changing within from 0 to 400 m. above ground level. The main directions of migration are from south to north and in the opposite direction. In winter, a small number of crow flocks gather around the aerodrome and at the aerodrome, representing a danger to flights from sunrise to sunset.
As required, the aerodrome control unit informs pilots of such migrations of birds. Upon receipt of such information, pilots are recommended, if the calculated characteristics of the onboard equipment allow, to switch on landing lights when flying around the aerodrome, during take-off, approach, as well as climbing and descending.
Measures for reducing the bird aggregations include: periodic scaring of birds (noise gun, bioacoustic equipments), effective measures against the garbage dumps, removal of grass cover, as well as the termination of agricultural activities within the airport.
