Purpose

This document describes the procedures that must be followed by the Air Traffic Service (ATS) at Brasília Airport. The procedures described here are supplementary to the DECEA procedures. 

Scope

Those procedures must be followed and applied by all members that are operating at SBBR. Especially the ATC, but not exclusive.

Procedural deviations

Exceptional situations, or unusual ones, can necessitate procedural deviations, or complementary procedures, to be added to the following procedures described in this document.

Usually, the airplanes going to SBBR must follow those rules about the Parking position:

TGL at SBBR

Despite being Brasília TWR responsibility area, the TWR must maintain the Brasília APP informed about the aircraft performing TGL (touch and go landing) at SBBR; just like, when the aircraft goes to perform a 360º maneuvering on downwind leg or extending the downwind leg.

Use ever the AISWEB to check the active NOTAM.

NOTE: What must prevail ever is common sense. If the pilot asks not to simulate a NOTAM, and this won't disturb other simmers, this request MUST BE attended! Punctual issues must be reported to our staff team.
