**Airport Briefing**
Ground Operations
Belgrade doesn't have DEL and GND (accept in Low Visible Procedures) so all ground operations and takeoffs are handled by Belgrade TWR. It is like this in real life because there is not usually much traffic. As in RL, no GND or DEL positions will be online. Please be patient when on the ground.
Belgrade doesn't have ATIS so you must request "departure information" for weather info. You will be given the full METAR report but please readback ONLY the QNH and runway in use.
The airport has a single 10000ft/3000m runway - 12/30.
The airport can accommodate all types of aircraft though the amount of stands for wide body jets (767/A330 and above) so we advise pilots of wide body aircraft to stay on the gate as short as possible before departure/ after arrival (if another departure is not planned).
The stands for heavy aircraft are C1A, C3A, C5A, B7 and the JAT Maintanace area. Stand info is on the charts.
Pilots of prop planes should note that vacating runway 30 to the left via D and E is not permitted. Continue your roll-out and vacate via C please.
Departure Operations
All departures are assigned a SID and squawk code. The initial altitude is not given as it is 6000 for all departures as stated on the charts.
If you can not follow a SID, let us know.
The departure frequency for all departures is 119.100.
When contacting departure please only report your callsing and routing and keep your transmissions short.
Ex. Airline 123, with you, following VAL 2D.
The transition altitude is 10000ft.
Passing the vertical terminal area (FL145) you will be handed off to CTR.
Arrival Operations
Arriving traffic is usually given vectors for ILS approach but please be ready to accept STARs.
When descending through Transition Level which is calculated by QNH (<1012 -> TL120, >1012 -> TL 110) you will be given an instruction like this
Airline 123, descend altitude 5000ft, QNH 1013, transition level 120, number 2 in traffic, no atc speed restrictions.
Please read-back only altitude and qnh.
Switching to tower, only report runway and approach type.
No need to report on blocks.
Thank you for taking your time to read this!
We hope you will have a great event with us!
