Local Regulations

IFR clearance

At first contact with Clearance Delivery state stand position and latest received ATIS transmission including identification letter and QNH.

If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform ATC when requesting clearance. Expect to be assigned a SID and to follow special instructions given in the SID charts.

Note that unless otherwise instructed, aircraft cleared via SID shall climb to 5000 ft. This altitude is not included in the clearance, because it is stated in the SID charts.

Between 07 and 22 local time, propeller aircraft may be cleared via radar vectoring with initial climb clearance to 4000 ft instead of SID.

Push-back

Push-back is generally required at stands 5 – 41A and 68 – 78.

Taxi

Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, the standard taxi routes (arrival, departure RWY 03, departure RWY 21) shall be followed.

Note: Taxi clearances may not include the complete taxi route, as pilots are expected to follow the standard taxi routes.

Take-off and climb

On initial contact with Göteborg Control report altitude to verify transponder Mode C readout.

If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform Göteborg Control on initial contact using the phraseology “unable RNAV SID.”

RNAV STAR

Advise if unable to follow RNAV STAR. Radar vectoring will be provided.

Observe the maximum flight levels when arriving via LOBBI/MAKUR.

Low density and high density STARs available. Low density STARs lead to the final approach while high density STARs end at an IAF with radar vectoring to final.

When cleared to a lower level or cleared for approach while on a STAR, minimum levels as published in the STAR must still be followed.

RNP approaches

RNP approaches are available and can be requested from ATC.

Speed restrictions

Maximum speed in Göteborg TMA below FL100 is 250 knots, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

Aircraft shall maintain minimum 160 knots until OM or 4 NM final or advise ATC if unable.
