a)RWY 33ASPIRE 33 Visual DepartureClimb straight ahead to 700 FT, turn to the West and remain clear of prohibited-area OTP45; route direct to ASPIRE (ASP); then direct to point SOFIA (SOF); then direct to point SHAMAL (SML). Climb as instructed by ATC to 1500 FT.
b)RWY 15ASPIRE 15 Visual DepartureClimb straight ahead to 700 FT turn to the West before the upwind end of RWY 15; route direct to point X-RAY (XRY); direct to ASPIRE (ASP); direct to point SOFIA (SOF); then direct to point SHAMAL (SML). Climb as instructed by ATC to 1500 FT.

2.Aircraft inbound to Doha from the North

RunwayNameDescription
a)RWY 33ASPIRE 33 Visual ArrivalFrom point SHAMAL (SML), route direct to SOFIA (SOF) traffic must be 2000 FT at SOF then route direct to ASP and hold over ASP as required by ATC. From ASP, route direct to ZULU (ZUL) if requested, hold at ZUL at 2000 FT. From ZUL, route direct to XRY and descend as instructed by ATC. Hold overhead XRY at 1500 FT when instructed or when cleared by ATC route for final approach RWY 33.
b)RWY 15ASPIRE 15 Visual ArrivalFrom point SHAMAL (SML), route direct to SOFIA (SOF). Traffic must be 2000 FT by SOF, then route direct to ASP and hold over ASP as required by ATC. When cleared by ATC proceed to ROMEO (RME) at 2000 FT. 1500 FT may be used subject to other VFR traffic; however at this altitude only 1 hold may be carried out. If more holds are required, the aircraft should maintain 2000 FT and then proceed to right hand as instructed by ATC. The holding will be between ROMEO (RME) and MidMac roundabout.

Notes:
i) Aircraft to contact Doha TWR at SHAMAL (SML) for inbound clearance.

Remarks:

  1. If more than two aircraft request to return to Doha from General Flying Area, and they will be required to hold overhead ZULU (ZUL) for RWY 33 or ROMEO (RME) for RWY 15, the second and succeeding aircraft will be advised to remain clear of the CTR and standby for joining instruction. Only one aircraft can be hold at any one time over ZUL and RME respectively. No holding allowed overhead ASP.
  2. VFR traffic arriving on the ASPIRE (ASP) arrival are independent of Hamad IFR traffic. If a VFR arrival carries out a go-around, Doha TWR must inform Hamad TWR W if the traffic does not turn west before the upwind end of the runway. Hamad TWR W must pass any relevant traffic information to Doha TWR and pass traffic information to both Hamad departing and arriving traffic.
  3. Aircraft proceeding to right base RWY 15 from ROMEO (RME) will maintain 1500 FT until established on final approach to avoid infringing the restricted-area over the Amiri Diwan. After establishing the approach,subsequent touchdown may be expected approximately abeam intersection Q, with roll-out and vacation at intersection B/B1.
  4. Advanced students or instructors may be able to accomplish touchdown and roll-out earlier than the above, but no attempt should be made to request this from the pilot.
5 Radio failure procedures - VFR aircraft
5.1 Clearance received:
In the event of a radio failure after obtaining a clearance continue as per ATC clearance. On entry to aerodrome traffic pattern, join at southern boundary and proceed along north / south TWY D at 700 FT executing wing-waggling past the control tower and continue in a left-hand orbit until visual instructions received from tower.
5.2 No clearance received:
Proceed inbound via nearest reporting point to rejoin south of aerodrome and execute procedure as detailed in 5.1 (above). Aircraft inbound from ALPHA to route west of the city prior to rejoin as detailed in 5.1 (above)
5.3 Aircraft operations to Halul Island or off-shore rigs will not be subjected to these procedures.
6 Runway utilisation

To ensure the maximum runway utilisation, pilots are expected to comply with the following operational procedures.

6.1 Departures

When given clearance to enter the runway and take off, the manoeuvre shall commence without delay. If pre-take off checks have not been completed, ATC must be advised and the delay taken up at the holding point.

6.2 Arrivals

Arriving flights shall, on completion of the landing roll, be excepted to vacate expeditiously at the first available taxiway exit, or as instructed by ATC. The aircraft should not be slowed significantly below normal taxi speed, or stopped, on the exit taxiway unless approved by ATC.

7 Ground movement

Pilots should adhere to centreline guidance on taxiways at all times.

7.1 Departures

Departing aircraft are advised to switch - on their transponder before requesting startup clearance from ATC. If an allocated code has not been assigned under DCL (Departure Clearance) procedures, conspicuity code A2000 should be selected.

7.2 Arrivals

Landing aircraft to maintain their transponder switched - on until they park on the stand.

8 Arrival Aircraft Contact Procedure

In the absence of instructions by Doha APP to transfer frequency, landing aircraft are advised to contact Doha Tower – Frequency 118.900 MHz at 5 NM final.

OTBD AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1 Visual docking guidance system:
1.1 General safety measures:
1.1.1 The VDGS has a built-in error detection program to inform the aircraft pilot of impending dangers during the docking procedure. If the pilot is unsure of the information being shown on the VDGS display unit, he / she must immediately stop the aircraft and obtain further information for clearance.
1.1.2 The pilot shall not enter the stand area, unless the docking system first is showing the vertical running arrows. The pilot must not proceed beyond the bridge, unless these arrows have been superseded by the closing rate bar.
1.1.3 The pilot shall not enter the stand area, unless the aircraft type displayed is equal to the approaching aircraft. The correctness of other information, such as ‘DOOR 2‘, shall also be checked.
1.1.4 When using the docking system, pilots are advised to taxi into the aircraft stand at minimum speed. The system will display "SLOW DOWN" to inform the pilot if the aircraft‘s taxiing speed is too fast. (See ITEM 1.2.6 of Docking Procedures)
1.1.5 To avoid overshooting, pilots are advised to approach the stop position slowly and observe the closing rate information displayed. Pilots should stop the aircraft immediately when seeing the "STOP" display or when given the "STOP" sign by the aircraft marshaller.
1.1.6 THE SBU MESSAGE - The message STOP SBU means that docking has been interrupted and has to be resumed only by manual guidance. Do not try to resume docking without manual guidance.
1.2 Stand docking procedures:
1.2.1 START-OF-DOCKING

The system is started by pressing one of the aircraft type buttons on the Operator Panel. When the button has been pressed, WAIT will be displayed.


1.2.2 CAPTURE
The floating arrows indicate that the system is activated and in capture mode, searching for an approaching aircraft. It shall be checked that the correct aircraft type is displayed. The lead-in line shall be followed.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE, UNLESS THE ARROWS HAVE BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE CLOSING RATE BAR.

1.2.3 TRACKING
When the aircraft has been caught by the laser, the floating arrow is replaced by the yellow centre line indicator.
A flashing red arrow indicates the direction to turn. The vertical yellow arrow shows position in relation to the centre line. This indicator gives correct position and azimuth guidance.

1.2.4 CLOSING RATE
Display of digital countdown will start when the aircraft is 20 meters from stop position.
When the aircraft is less than 12 meters from the stop position, the closing rate is indicated by turning off one row of the centre line symbol per half a metre of the distance, covered by the aircraft toward the stop position of the stand. The picture illustrates the aircraft ten metres from stop position, slightly left of the centre line. The red arrow indicates the direction to steer.

1.2.5 ALIGNED TO CENTRE
The aircraft is eight meters from the stop position. The absence of any direction arrow indicates an aircraft on the centre line.

1.2.6 SLOW DOWN
If the aircraft is approaching faster than the accepted speed, the system will show SLOW DOWN as a warning to the pilot.

1.2.7 AZIMUTH GUIDANCE
The aircraft is four meters from the stop-position.
The yellow arrow indicates an aircraft to the right of the centre line, and the red flashing arrow indicates the direction to turn.

1.2.8 STOP POSITION REACHED
When the correct stop-position is reached, the display will show STOP and red lights will be lit.

1.2.9 DOCKING COMPLETED
When the aircraft has parked, OK will be displayed.

1.2.10 OVERSHOOT
If the aircraft has overshot the stop - position, TOO FAR will be displayed.

1.2.11 STOP SHORT
If the aircraft is found standing still but has not reached the intended stop position, the message STOP OK will be shown after a while.

1.2.12 WAIT
If some object is blocking the view toward the approaching aircraft or the detected aircraft is lost during docking close to STOP, the display will show WAIT.
The docking will continue as soon as the blocking object has disappeared or the system detects the aircraft again.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE, UNLESS THE "WAIT" MESSAGE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE CLOSING RATE BAR.

1.2.13 SLOW
This display can be shown for two reasons:
  1. BAD WEATHER CONDITION
    During heavy sandstorm, fog or rain, the visibility for the docking system can be reduced.
    When the system is activated and in capture mode, the display will disable the floating arrows and display SLOW and the Aircraft Type.
    As soon as the system detects the approaching aircraft, the vertical closing-rate bar will appear.
    If the system has been configured in this mode to make a shortened ID verification (check of engine position excluded), the Aircraft symbol will blink to give attention.
  2. AIRCRAFT LOST DURING DOCKING
    If the aircraft is lost during docking at a distance greater than STOP plus the distance between nose and engine, the display will show SLOW.

As soon as the system detects the approaching aircraft, the vertical closing-rate bar will appear.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE; UNLESS THE CLOSING-RATE BAR IS SHOWN:


1.2.14 AIRCRAFT VERIFICATION FAILURE
During entry into the Stand, the aircraft geometry is being checked. If, for any reason, aircraft verification is not made 12 meters before the stop-position, the display will first show WAIT and make a second verification check. If this fails STOP and ID FAIL will be displayed. The text will be alternating on the upper two rows of the display.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE WITHOUT MANUAL GUIDANCE, UNLESS THE WAIT MESSAGE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE CLOSING RATE BAR.

1.2.15 GATE BLOCKED
If an object is found blocking the view from the DGS to the planned stop position for the aircraft, the docking procedure will be halted with a WAIT and GATE BLOCK message. The docking procedure will resume as soon as the blocking object has been removed.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE WITHOUT MANUAL GUIDANCE, UNLESS THE WAIT MESSAGE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE CLOSING RATE BAR.

1.2.16 VIEW BLOCKED
If the view towards the approaching aircraft is hindered, for instance by dirt on the window, the DGS will report a View blocked condition. Once the system is able to see the aircraft through the dirt, the message will be replaced with a closing rate display.

THE PILOT MUST NOT PROCEED BEYOND THE BRIDGE WITHOUT MANUAL GUIDANCE, UNLESS THE WAIT MESSAGE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE CLOSING RATE BAR.

1.2.17 SBU-STOP
Any unrecoverable error during the docking procedure will generate an SBU (safety back up) condition. The display will show red stop-bar and the text STOP SBU.

A MANUAL BACKUP PROCEDURE WILL BE USED FOR DOCKING GUIDANCE.

1.2.18 TOO FAST
If the aircraft approaches with a speed higher than the docking system can handle, the message STOP (with red squares) and TOO FAST will be displayed.

THE DOCKING SYSTEM WILL BE RE-STARTED OR THE DOCKING PROCEDURE COMPLETED BY MANUAL GUIDANCE.

1.2.19 EMERGENCY STOP
Pilots should stop the aircraft immediately when STOP is displayed.

1.2.20 CHOCKS ON
CHOCKS ON will be displayed, when the ground staff has put the chocks in front of the nose wheel and pressed the "Chocks On" button on the Operator Panel.

1.2.21 ERROR
If a system error occurs, an error message is displayed with an error code. The code is used for maintenance purposes and is explained elsewhere.

1.2.22 SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
In case of a severe system failure, the display will go black except for a red stop indicator. A manual backup procedure will be used for docking guidance

1.2.23 POWER FAILURE
In case of a power failure, the display will be completely black. A manual backup procedure will be used for docking guidance.
