4.3 Aircraft returning from general flying training areas shall request joining instructions prior to leaving these areas.

4.4 All aircraft must maintain listening watch on 118.900 MHz whilst operating within the control zone with an operations normal call every 30 minutes.

4.5 Standard VFR departure and arrival routes within Doha Control Zone (CTR).

Name	Description
33 ASPIRE VISUAL DEPARTURE	After departure, maintain RWY heading to 700 FT. At 700 FT turn left, remain clear of OTP45, and route direct ASPIRE, climb to 2 500 FT. From ASPIRE route direct ALPHA and then BRAVO.
15 ASPIRE VISUAL DEPARTURE	After departure, maintain RWY heading to 700 FT. At 700 FT, turn right before the upwind end of RWY 15; then route direct to ASPIRE and climb to 2 500 FT. From ASPIRE route direct ALPHA and then BRAVO.
ASPIRE 33 VISUAL ARRIVAL	From BRAVO route direct ALPHA, then ASPIRE maintaining 2 000 FT, from ASPIRE route direct ZULU, if requested hold overhead ZULU at 2 000 FT. From ZULU route direct to X-RAY and descent to 1 500 FT or as instructed by ATC. Hold overhead X-RAY at 1 500 FT; when instructed by ATC route for final approach RWY 33.
ASPIRE 15 VISUAL ARRIVAL	a) From BRAVO route direct ALPHA and then direct to ASPIRE maintaining 2 000 FT, from ASPIRE proceed to ROMEO maintaining to 2 000 FT. Hold overhead ROMEO and when instructed proceed to right hand base RWY 15 for landing. The holding pattern for ROMEO will be between ROMEO and MidMac roundabout. Traffic information should be passed between the helicopter and fixed wing aircraft. b) Aircraft proceeding to right base RWY 15 from ROMEO will descend to 1 500 FT to maintain until established on final approach to avoid infringing the restricted area over the Amiri Diwan. Close watch should be kept between fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft proceeding for RWY 15. After stabilizing the approach, subsequent touchdown may be expected approximately abeam intersection Q, with roll - out and vacation at intersection B / B1. c) 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.
Note 1 VFR departures from RWY 33 are independent from OTHH IFR traffic on the proviso that the VFR traffic climbs straight ahead to 700 FT, turns to the west and remains south of OTP45. The VFR departure will state if it is unable to adhere to this route and will therefore be treated as per OTBD IFR departure. Note 2 VFR departures from RWY 15 are independent from OTHH IFR traffic on the proviso that the VFR traffic climbs straight ahead to 700 FT, turns to the west before the upwind end of RWY 15. The VFR departure will state if it is unable to adhere to this route and will therefore be treated as per OTBD IFR departure. Note 3 If more than two aircraft request to return to Doha from General Flying Area, and they will be required to hold overhead ZULU for RWY 33 or ROMEO 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 ZULU and ROMEO respectively. No holding allowed overhead ASPIRE.

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.

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: 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. 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.
