== Preferential Runway System (PRS) == | |||
The term “Preferential RWY System (PRS)” shall be used to indicate the runway that, at a particular time, is considered by the ATC unit to be the most suitable for use by the aircraft expected to land at or take-off from the aerodrome, by taking into consideration aircraft performance, surface wind speed and its components. PRS Operations contribute to the optimum use of airspace and aerodrome capacity.<blockquote><big>The Preferential Runways in Istanbul Airport (LTFM) are north configuration runways (34L/R & 35L/R & 36)</big></blockquote> | |||

# In the PRS operations, the above wind criteria depending on the runway surface condition shall be applied. | |||
# During the PRS operations, ATC unit takes into account the ground wind, traffic situation, local meteorological conditions, environmental restrictions, technical infrastructure, noise abatement, etc. | |||
# PRS operations will not be available under the following circumstances: | |||
#* The instrument approach/departure procedures available for the preferred RWY(s) are not convenient for landing and/ or take-off operations under the existing meteorological conditions | |||
#* When the preferred RWY(s) are '''dry''' (RWYCC<ref>Runway Condition Code</ref> 6/6/6), '''the tail wind component is greater than 10 Kt''', | |||
#* When RWYCC is reported at least 5 for any each the preferred RWY(s) third, the tail wind component is greater than 5 Kt, | |||
#* When RWYCC is reported at least 5 for any each the preferred RWY(s) third, there is a NOTAM/equivalent information (which may be included in the RCR) stating that the runway is slippery,ATIS announcement when PRS Operations are in progress shall be; “Preferential Runway Operations are in Progress”. | |||
#* RWYCC is reported 4 or less any each the preferred RWY(s) third, | |||
#* Meteorological conditions such as heavy rainfall, thunderstorm or wind-shear has been reported on the approach or climb path of the preferred RWY(s), | |||
#* Low visibility operations are in progress. | |||
# ATIS announcement when PRS Operations are in progress shall be; “Preferential Runway Operations are in Progress”. | |||
# Pilots unable to comply with PRS Operations shall notify the relevant ATC unit at the time of requesting start-up clearance, at the first contact or 20 minutes in advance of the ETA (which is earlier). | |||
