OPKC AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES:
Noise abatement procedures are published on the Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) Charts. These SIDs include

OPKC AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES:
PROCEDURES FOR IFR FLIGHTS WITHIN KARACHI TMA
a) The STARs shown on the following pages are to be used by arriving IFR flights when specified by ATC.
b) The SIDs shown on the following pages are to be used by departing IFR flights when specified by ATC.
c) Arriving aircraft from LAKIV are required to cross BEGIM at or above FL 50.
d) Arriving aircraft from LAKIV are required to cross "KA" NDB at or above FL 50 as specified in ATC clearance.
e) During day aircraft inbound on Karachi VOR radial 040 shall cross BADUL at or below FL100.
f) Aircraft inbound on VOR radial 300 shall not be cleared below FL 60 until overhead Karachi Airport when military traffic is in
progress.

h) Departing aircraft proceeding towards Nawabshah shall cross BADUL not above FL100 unless a specific SID waives this
restriction.
i) The holding areas have been located at a distance from the AD to ensure the minimum of congestion and delay to arriving
and departing flights.
RADAR PROCEDURES WITHIN KARACHI TMA
Normally, aircraft are vectored and sequenced to the final approach for RWY 25R. (ILS, VOR/DME) or to final approach for
RWY 07L (Visual Approach), so as to ensure an expeditious and orderly flow of traffic. Radar vectors and flight levels/altitudes
will be issued, as required, for spacing and separating the aircraft so that correct landing intervals are maintained, taking into
account aircraft characteristics.
Radar vectoring charts are not published since the instrument approach procedures and altitudes ensure that adequate terrain
clearance exists at all times until the point where the pilot will resume his own navigation.
SURVEILLANCE RADAR APPROACHES
Surveillance radar approaches will be carried out for runway 25R, 07L, as step down commencing descent from 10NM at an
altitude of 3000 FT. Surveillance radar final approaches will be terminated at 2 NM from touch down.
At each nautical mile and until 2 NM from touch down, the pilot will be given the precompiled check altitude so that the normal
glide path can be maintained.
Surveillance Radar Approaches operating minimum is as follows:
(a) MDA / MDH: 400 FT/300 FT
(b) Visibility: 1800 M.
Missed approach procedures to be followed in the absence of other ATS instructions are as detailed on the Instrument
Approach Charts.
COMMUNICATION FAILURE
In case of communication failure, the pilot shall act in accordance with the communication failure procedures in ICAO Annex 2.
PROCEDURES FOR VFR FLIGHTS WITHIN KARACHI TMA
Provided traffic conditions permit, ATC clearance for VFR flights will be given under the conditions described below:
a) A flight plan requesting ATC clearance, containing items 7 to 18 and indicating the purpose of the flight shall be submitted.
b) ATC clearance shall be obtained immediately before the aircraft enters the area concerned.
c) Position reports shall be submitted in accordance with 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2 except all General Aviation aircraft engaged in
domestic non-scheduled operations.
d) Deviation from the ATC clearance may only be made when prior permission has been obtained.
e) The flight shall be conducted with vertical visual reference to the ground unless the flight can be conducted in accordance
with the Instrument Flight Rules.
f) Two-way communication shall be maintained on the frequency prescribed.
g) The aircraft shall be equipped with SSR transponder with 4096 Codes in Mode A/3. Flights performed in connection with
parachute jumps shall, in addition, be equipped with Mode C with automatic transmission of pressure altitude information (cf.
ICAO Annex 10, Volume I). Exemption from this requirement may be granted by Karachi Control.
h) Arriving VFR Flights, desirous to avail RADAR air traffic information service, beyond the limits of control zone, but within the
limits of TMA are required to notify their intentions on first two-way communication with Karachi APP. Departing VFR flights shall
do so prior to their departure from the aerodrome concerned or as early as possible after departure.
Note: ATC clearance is intended only to provide separation between IFR and VFR flights.

OPKC AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hydrant refueling facility on parking stands No. 51 to 75 not available.
BIRD CONCENTRATION IN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORT
Large solitary predatory birds (eagles, vultures etc.) present a hazard to air navigation at all times on the coastal plain in the
vicinity of the airport. Pilots are advised to exercise extreme caution when approaching or departing, particularly below ALT
3000 FT.
ATC will endeavor to keep pilots advised of bird concentrations, but single birds circling at any height are very difficult to
observe from ATC. Pilot reports of bird concentrations are requested. These reports are very useful in planning a programme to
attempt a reduction of bird strike hazards.
FUEL DUMPING PROCEDURE
Aircraft requiring dumping fuel in the designated area OPD-105 (see ENR 5) shall obtain prior approval from Karachi Approach
Control. Aircraft not in radio contact with Karachi Approach Control shall avoid flight over the area below FL 70. MINIMUM fuel
dumping altitude is 3000 FT MSL.

ADVANCED VISUAL DOCKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM(A-VDGS)

ATJINNAH TERMINAL GATES JIAP / KARACHI
1. The Visual Docking Guidance System has been replaced with Advanced Visual Docking
Guidance System at JIAP Karachi as follows:

2. Pilots can interpret A-VDGS (Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System) for parking which
mainly consists of three separate elements:-

i. Identification Board: Indicating Bay Designator Number.

ii. Laser Scanning Unit: It is based on 3D measuring technology to implement a safe

docking procedure, when an aircraft approaches a terminal stand.

iii. Safedock Display: It can consist of three kinds of displays: Aircraft Indicator, Azimuth
Indicator and Distance Indicator. Initially, aircraft to be docked is manually entered
through its OP Panel which subsequently appears on its Display after showing ‘WAIT’
message. After the aircraft entered is successfully scanned by its Laser Scanning Unit,
the distance remaining between aircraft nose wheel and Aircraft stopping position is
shown on its Display which actually starts from 20 Meters. Azimuth Guidance is also
provided on Display, which assists Pilot in aligning aircraft with Parking Bay Centre line.
Display shows ‘STOP’ message when Aircraft stopping position is reached.

Figure 1: Centreline Guidance

CAUTION:
Pilot shall not over taxi the stopping position. In case of A-VDGS failure, wait for marshalling service.
When A-VDGS is operative, marshalling service shall be available on request.Aircrafts not included in
A-VDGS should request tower for marshalling service.
