AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL<br />
Radar guidance (vectoring) in controlled airspace. is carried out for vectoring the aircraft to final<br />
approach along the established descent patterns. For regulation of air traffic, the ATS unit controllers<br />
give instructions to reach specified flight levels (heights) not below the safe ones and also assign flight<br />
courses to the flight crews, in case of necessity – the speeds for aircraft, for the purpose of maintain<br />
the intervals necessary for carrying out a landing taking into account the aircraft performances.<br />
The last assigned flight course shall be established for vectoring the aircraft to final approach at an<br />
angle of not more than 45° and at least at 2 km to IAF. At the same time, when issuing the last<br />
assigned course the ATS unit controller shall advise the position of aircraft to the flight crew and issue<br />
the clearance for the chosen approach procedure. Radar guidance (vectoring) shall terminate at the<br />
moment of corrective turn of aircraft to the final approach or getting the clearance for visual<br />
approach.<br />
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS<br />
If TWY centre line is not quite visible, aircraft may be escorted by “Follow-me” vehicle requested by<br />
crew via TWR controller. The crews are notified of movement area condition by SNOWTAM<br />
