  1. Uncontrolled Operations. The following frequencies should be utilized only when POSCON ATC is offline. Station VHF Frequency Torino Terminal Information (ATIS) 120.475 (currently not operational) CTAF *122.950 Emergency Frequency (Guard) 121.500 * Torino has no published CTAF, so the standard frequency (122.95) must be used. Controlled Operations. Station VHF Frequency Torino Radar 129.275 Torino Tower 118.500 Torino Ground 121.700 Emergecy Frequency (Guard) 121.500
  2. General. As above reported, in Caselle also VFR operations are approved. In real life, VFR traffic belonging to local Flying club operates at “Torino-Aeritalia” airfield, located southwest of Caselle. Generally, VFR flights are highly operated at this airfield comparing to Caselle. However, this does not mean that Caselle cannot be used for training purposes/general aviation flights. Reporting points. VFR flights to/from Torino Caselle airport shall be conducted with reference to published visual reporting points. The following points may be used CTR (MFNW2) LANZO TORINESE (MFNW1) FIANO (MFW1) RONDISSONE (MFE3) CANDIA CANAVESE (MFNE1) CARIGNANO (MFS1) Entry/Exit points. Before joining the traffic pattern or overflying the aerodrome, VFR traffic shall fly to either FIANO (MFW1) or VOLPIANO (MFE1) and hold waiting for ATC clearance. FIANO and VOLPIANO shall be used as first reporting points to leave the pattern as well. Traffic circuit. Both traffic patterns (left and right) are available for both runway 18 and 36. These will be assigned by ATC. If no ATC is available and weather permits, it’s strongly recommended to use runway 36 with left/right traffic pattern at discretion. VMC. Those of a class D airspace apply. Special VFR applicable. Night VFR. Currently not allowed for aeroplanes. General Aviation Apron. Taxilane N is used to access (General Aviation Apron). MAX wingspan 20m. On General Aviation Apron only one movement of aircraft at a time is allowed to/from the apron.
  3. Flight Planning. RNAV STARs must be used where the aircraft is RNAV capable. If unable, ATC must be warned at first contact. Speed Restrictions. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, pilots must comply with following speed control: 250 KT IAS at FL100 or below 210 KT IAS starting the turn to intercept the ILS/LOC or the appropriate VOR radial (in case of VOR or VOR/DME approach) or at 12DME from RWY threshold 180 KT IAS completing the intercepting turn or at a distance of 9 NM from RWY threshold 160 KT IAS at a distance of 5NM from RWY threshold Communication failure. In the event of radio failure, the designated radio aid to descend for landing is TOP VOR.
  4. Flight Planning. RNAV SIDs must be used when the aircraft is RNAV capable. If unable, ATC must be warned when requesting clearance. Departure Clearances (DCL). Please ask for departure clearance 10 minutes before EOBT. Pushback and Start-up. Clearance for pushback and start-up must be obtained by ATC. When requesting pushback, the aircraft should be in an Aircraft Ready State which means: aircraft doors closed loading bridge retracted stand free from vehicles, equipment and people aircraft ready for push-back or taxi Noise Abatement. Noise abatement procedures shall ensure that safety has priority over noise abatement and be simple and safe to operate with no significant increase in crew workload during critical phases of flight. Choice of Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 1 or 2 is at pilot discretion. Below you can find a brief description of both of them. NADP 1 After take-off, keep take-off thrust until reaching 800ft AGL, flaps/slats in take-off configuration and speed V2 + 10/20 kts At 800 ft AGL reduce thrust to climb power. Continue keeping flaps/slats in take-off configuration and speed V2 + 10/20kts with reduced thrust. At 3000ft AGL, maintaining positive rate of climb accelerate to normal climb speed. Retract flaps/slats as required. NADP 2 (most common) After take-off, keep take-off thrust until reaching 800ft AGL, flaps/slats in take-off configuration and speed V2 + 10/20 kts Reaching 800ft AGL, while maintaining positive rate of climb, accelerate towards the flap retraction speed. Start reducing power to “climb” with the first retraction of flap/slats. In the end, maintain a speed equal to Flaps UP speed + 10/20 kts. Reaching 3000ft AGL, maintaining positive rate of climb, accelerate to normal climb speed. Use of RWY 18 limited only to ATC reasons. Pilots may request use of RWY 18 for weather, technical or safety reasons. Delay should be expected. Pilots shall declare reasons when requesting RWY 18. The use of reverse thrust at a power higher than idle is allowed only for proven safety reasons. Night landings: 2200-0500 (2100-0400) landing aircraft shall use all the available length of RWY to reach apron or parking area except for aircraft having landing performances allowing a shorter run without use of reverse thrust
  5. Preferential RWY. Torino has one runway, 18/36: Preferential runway is RWY 36, provided that: if the runway is dry, the tail wind component is not greater than 7 kt if the runway is wet, the tail wind component is not greater than 5 kt Therefore, RWY 18 shall be used when: the tail wind components is greater than above limits braking action on RWY 36 is reported as “poor” Low Visibility Procedures (LVP). LVP will be in force when: RVR is equal or less than 550 m and/or when cloud base height is below 200 ft according to the meteorological local report and/or the rapid deterioration of weather conditions recommends so Pilots will be informed by ATIS and/or ATC communication when LVP are in force. Operations in CAT II, CAT III A/B and LVTO are allowed only for RWY 36. Departures may also be allowed from RWY 18, when LVP are in force and RVR is equal or greater than 400m, for meteorological reasons or aircraft performance require so for safety purposes. Aerodrome operating minima is RVR not less than 75m. In LVP conditions reduced airport capacity can be expected due to restrictions applied to ground movements. Furthermore, all pilots shall report to ATC: reaching RHP/IHP, unless otherwise instructed by TWR; when ILS sensitive area has been vacated as identified by the end of the green/yellow colour coded TWY centerline lights; reaching the assigned parking stand. For taxi procedures with LVP in progress, refer to applicable charts. Taxi procedures Taxiway J is closed. Taxi/Landing light must be on at all times. Following restrictions apply to taxiways: Taxilane N (on main apron) MAX wingspan 38m Taxilane M, MAX wingspan 36m Taxilane from L to M MAX wingspan 38m Start-up at parking positions, exit from self-manoeuvring stands and taxiing shall be performed with minimum required thrust. When landing operations on RWY 36 are in progress, the use of runway holding position on TWY F is forbidden and aircraft code E and F taxiing toward TWY G, shall hold not beyond intermediate holding position G1. Self-manoeuvring operations are permitted only from stands 100 to 105, 601 to 604 for aircraft with maximum wingspan 24m. From stand 100 to 117, 201 to 204, 307,400,701,702 and 800 pushback is required. Pushback operations and start-up shall be approved by ATC and shall be performed facing south. Access to runway via taxiway D permitted only for aircraft with ICAO code A and B. Use of RWY holding positions on TWY B, C, D, E and F during taxiing operations on TWY Y and apron TWY L: During taxi operations on TWY Y and apron TWY L use of RWY holding positions identified by pattern B on TWY B, C, D and E and by pattern A on TWY F are not allowed During taxiing operations of A or B or C or D code ACFT on TWY Y and apron TWY L only A or B or C code ACFT are allowed to use only the RWY holding positions identified by pattern A, on TWY B, C, D and E During taxiing operations of E or F code ACFT on TWY Y and apron TWY L none of the RWY holding positions on TWY B, C, D, E and F can be used. Access to RWY via TWY D is allowed only to ACFT with ICAO code A and B.

  7. Uncontrolled Operations. The following frequencies should be utilized only when POSCON ATC is offline: Station VHF Frequency Bergamo Arrival and Departure Information (ATIS) 114.950 (not currently operational – VOICE mode of BEG VOR) CTAF 122.950* Emergency Frequency (Guard) 121.500 *Bergamo has no published CTAF, so the standard frequency (122.95) must be used. Controlled Operations. Station VHF Frequency Milano Radar 126.300 Milano Radar (SRN SID) 126.750 Bergamo Tower 125.875 Bergamo Ground 120.505 Emergency Frequency (Guard) 121.500
  8. General. As above reported, in Bergamo also VFR operations are approved. In real life, VFR traffic belonging to local Flying club is allowed to use RWY 12/30 and related Flying Club Apron, whereas general aviation traffic not belonging to Flying club has to use RWY 10/28 and apron north/south as requested by ATC. However, to make operations in POSCON easier, also VFR traffic not simulating “Flying club of Bergamo” may use RWY 12/30 and Flying club apron. Noise abatement. In order to reduce noise on the neighbourhood located South of Bergamo city: VFR traffic taking off for RWY 10 has to maintain runway heading till passing Serio river then proceed according to flight plan or tower instructions downwind leg for RWY 28/10 shall be flown not below altitude 1500 ft avoiding AZZANO S. PAOLO and GRASSOBBIO base turn for RWY 28 shall be initiated East of Serio river During night VFR operation, VFR traffic taking off from RWY 28 shall follow the same IFR initial climb procedure with visual reference to the motorway toll gate. Reporting/Entry/Exit points. North: ALZANO LOMBARDO (MEN1) South: ROMANO DI LOMBARDIA (MES1) West: TREZZO SULL’ADDA (MEW1) East: ROVATO (MEE1) Traffic circuit. RWY 10/28 always southwest of the runway (10 RIGHT not standard, 28 LEFT) RWY 12/30 always Northeast of the runway (12 RIGHT not standard, 30 LEFT) NOTE: RWY 12/30 circuit. Max attention shall be paid to Prohibited Area “P142” from SFC-1500 AGL on downwind. It’s strongly suggested to perform continuous left turn (right in case of rwy 30) after departure crossing 300ft AGL joining directly downwind leg. Due to the narrow circuit, it’s suggested to maintain a maximum altitude of 1500 AMSL to assure correct approach path while joining final. Ultralight aircraft operations. Ultralight aircrafts are not allowed to enter Bergamo ATZ. VMC. Those of a class D airspace apply. Special VFR applicable. Night VFR. Allowed from sunset +30 – 2300LT for noise abatement. Attention shall be paid due to aerodrome located in mountainous area: except when authorized to special VFR flight by the competent ATC unit, ground visibility shall not be less than 8 km and ceiling shall not be less than 1500 ft for take-off, landing and aerodrome traffic circuit. Landing allowed only on RWY 28 with left traffic pattern. Entry points are ALZANO LOMBARDO (MEN1), ROMANO DI LOMBARDIA (MES1), TREZZO SULL’ADDA (MEW1), ROVATO (MEE1). Flying club Apron. Only one aircraft movement at a time is allowed, arriving aircraft will normally have taxing priority over departing aircraft; Pilots of departing aircraft shall request to Orio TWR the permission to move from the parking position when ready to taxi with engines running; Pilots of arriving aircraft shall report to Orio TWR when arriving at the parking position before shutting down the engine.
  9. Flight Planning. RNAV STARs must be used where the aircraft is RNAV capable. If unable, ATC must be warned at first contact. Speed Restrictions. Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, pilots of arriving aircraft shall comply with speed limits published in STAR/Initial approach charts. For STARs in which limits are not published or if being vectored, pilots shall apply the following restrictions: 230 KT at or below FL100, or at ELBOD, VAGUX, BEG VOR, COD Locator 210 KT starting base turn at 20NM from Touchdown Zone 190 KT at 12 nm from Touchdown Zone 160 KT at 5nm from Touchdown Zone Minimum RWY occupancy. After vacating RWY, aircraft shall not be stopped before having passed the holding line signal. Approaching RWY28 plan to vacate via D if direct to south apron or F if north Approaching RWY10, plan to vacate via B If unable to comply, TWR must be warned at first contact Taxi. MAIN/SOUTH APRON Aircraft stands shall be entered via taxiway T. NORTH APRON Aircraft stands shall be entered via taxiway G, then APRON taxilane Y. Communication failure. If unable to establish contact with ATC: Squawk A7600 If approach clearance already received: Continue approach Approach clearance not received: RNAV-equipped aircraft: Maintain assigned level and proceed along STAR, or expected STAR if not assigned, until TIXUM, ELBOD or BEG, then descent to minimum holding altitude and start the approach NON-RNAV equipped aircraft: Maintain assigned level and proceed according to current FPL to ELBOD/BEG then start descend and approach for landing. If an expected approach time has been assigned, approach shall be started at EAT. If an expected approach time has been assigned, approach shall be started at EAT.
  10. Flight Planning. RNAV SIDs must be used when the aircraft is RNAV capable. If unable, ATC must be warned when requesting clearence. Departure Clearances (DCL). Please ask for departure clearance 10 minutes before EOBT. Pushback and Start-up. Clearance for pushback and start-up must be obtained by ATC. When requesting pushback, the aircraft should be in an Aircraft Ready State which means: Aircraft doors and holds are closed Aircraft Safe Area is clear from all objects, vehicles and personnel Aircraft de-icing has been performed (if needed) Aircraft is ready for start-up and taxi/power back/pushback Pushback tractor is connected (in case of a nose-in stand) Taxi. MAIN/SOUTH APRON In self-manoeuvring stands exit through apron taxilane K or J then taxi as cleared. In pushback stands, the manoeuvre starts on the apron and ends on taxiway T. NORTH APRON Only self-manoeuvring stands. Exit on Taxiway W then taxi as cleared. Speed Restrictions. When under radar control and after completing Noise Abatement procedures, pilots shall maintain maximum 230 KT until crossing 6000 FT, and 250 KT between 6000 FT and FL100. Above limit may be removed by ATC using the phrase “No ATC restrictions on speed”. Pilots not able to comply shall warn ATC when requesting clearance. If unable during flight, ATC shall be warned immediately while maintaining minimum operational speed acceptable. Noise Abatement. Any instrument RWY 28 departure, except for safety reasons, shall be performed in accordance to ICAO DOC 8168 Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 1 (NADP1) as follows: below 800ft AAL: climb speed V2 plus 10kt at or above 800ft AAL: perform thrust reduction between 800ft AAL and 3000ft AAL: climb speed at V2 plus 10 to 20kt, maintain thrust reduction and FLAP/SLAT in take-off configuration. At 3000 ft AAL accelerate to climb speed and retract FLAP/SLAT as required The use of reverse thrust at a power higher than idle is allowed only for proven safety reasons. Minimum RWY occupancy. As far as possible pre-flight checks shall be completed before line-up; other checks after line-up shall be carried out as quickly as possible. Departing Aircraft shall comply with ATC clearance to line up without delay. Take-off run shall start immediately after take-off clearance. If unable to comply, ATC shall be warn prior to lining up. In case of snow, take-off run shall start immediately after take-off clearance. If unable to comply, instruction to vacate the runway as soon as possible shall be expected.
  11. Type of traffic permitted. IFR/VFR Airspace classification. Bergamo ATZ is class D airspace. Its vertical limits SFC -2000ft AMSL. Transition altitude is 6000 ft. Preferential RWY. Bergamo has two runways, 10/28 and 12/30: RWY 10/28, preferential runway is RWY 28. Such RWY is used by IFR commercial air traffic. RWY10 will be in force for take-off from 2300LT to 0600LT unless safety or meteorological reasons require use of RWY 28 (LVO included). RWY 10 will be available for landing and take-off from 0600LT till 0700LT unless safety, meteorological reasons require use of RWY 28. All training flights with airplanes/helicopters are forbidden on this runway RWY 12/30, is available from sunrise to sunset -/+ 30 only for general aviation VFR flights. Runway to be considered closed on Monday. VFR flights for training purposes with single engine and light airplanes are allowed. Pilots shall consider that wind, visibility and clouds information communicated by ATC refer to RWY 10 or 28 depending on the active runway. RWY 12 is preferential for take-off and landing however, twin engine airplanes SHALL take-off from RWY 30 and landing on RWY 12 unless meteorological conditions require differently. Low Visibility Procedures (LVP). LVP will be in force when: RVR is equal or less than 550 m and/or when cloud base height is below 200 ft according to the meteorological local report and/or the rapid deterioration of weather conditions recommends so pilots will be informed by ATIS and/or ATC communication when LVP are in force. Operations in CAT II, CAT III A/B and LVTO arrivals are allowed only for RWY 28. Departures may also be allowed from RWY 10, when LVP are in force, for meteorological reasons or aircraft performance require so for safety purposes. Aerodrome operating minima is RVR not less than 75m. If LVP are in force, following restrictions apply for taxi: a) Arriving aircraft Landing aircraft shall vacate RWY 28 on: TWY EA if directed to Main/South Apron TWY G if directed to North Apron b) Departing aircraft Aircraft shall enter RWY 28: via TWY G coming from North Apron via TWY A coming from Main/south Apron or from TWY T With RVR below 400 m take off run must be started from INT TAKE-OFF A with reduced TORA of 2741 m In case of departure for RWY 10 aircraft shall enter: via TWY G coming from North Apron; via TWY EB coming from Main/south Apron. With RVR below 400 m take off run must be started from INT TAKE-OFF EA with reduced TORA of 2655 m c) Mandatory reports In reduced visibility conditions all pilots shall report to Orio TWR: reaching RHP/IHP, unless otherwise instructed by TWR; when ILS sensitive area has been vacated as identified by the end of the green/yellow colour coded TWY centerline lights; reaching the stand. For taxi procedures, refer to applicable charts.
