Don’t Get Complacent 2 Aircraft Marshalling All aircraft are required to be marshalled onto and off all aprons at Hawarden Airport Aircraft must be marshalled using approved methods i.e.: Wands or Bats Aircraft must not be marshalled using hand signals JUST CULTURE Serco and Airbus Support A Just Culture A just culture should enable open reporting leading to learning and improvement. The definition of a just culture was introduced into EC regulation 376/2014. ‘A culture in which frontline operators or other persons are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training, but in which gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated’. We encourage all operators and third party companies to embrace a just culture. 3 ATC Corner New Drone Restrictions and Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ) Due to the increase in the number of incidents and infringements by, or involving, drones, the UK Government has issued a new set of drone regulations which came into force in March 2019. The new regulations include a zone around most UK airports called the Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ). The Hawarden FRZ, shown on the map below, includes the Hawarden ATZ (a circle with a radius of 2.5nm, centred on the midpoint of runway 22/04) and the runway protection zones, from the surface to 2000ft. The runway protection zones extend 5km from each of the runway thresholds with a width of 0.5km either side of the extended runway centreline. The new regulations state that permission is always required to fly a drone of any size from the surface to 2000ft within an FRZ. During Hawarden Airport opening hours, ATC will issue permission to fly and, if the air traffic situation permits, can also issue permission to fly above 400ft (to a maximum of 2000ft). Outside of opening hours, the Aerodrome Operator can issue permission to fly but only up to 400ft, not above. Outside of the Hawarden FRZ, permission to fly above 400ft can only be issued by the CAA. Details on how to obtain permission from the CAA can be found on their website at www.caa.co.uk/uas or on the Dronesafe website at dronesafe.uk The Dronesafe website also includes a link to an interactive map which shows every FRZ in the UK. It is illegal to fly any drone at any time within the FRZ unless you have permission from ATC or, outside of operational hours, from the Aerodrome Operator, so make sure you don’t get caught out! As always if there are any questions about anything within this article, or anything with regards to the ATC service we provide, please give us a call on 01244 522012, or e-mail [email protected] and we would be happy to help. Visitors to the tower are also welcome with prior arrangementt 4 Meet the Team Warren Brown (Compliance & Safeguarding Officer) Warren started his working career in Financial Accounts in 1996 and 1989 he also joined North Wales Fire Service as a retained firefighter in conjunction with his full time employment. He eventually completed approximately 18 year’s service with North Wales and during this period decided to follow a full time career in the Fire Service sector and was fortunate to join the RFFS as a firefighter at Hawarden in 2001. After completing his initial training at the International Fire Training Centre at Teesside, Warren’s career progressed fairly quickly through the rank structure from Firefighter to Crew Manager in 2003, followed by Watch Manager in 2005 and later took on the role of Training Manager in 2009 where he was responsible for the management and implementation of the maintenance of competence scheme across the service. After another 18 years in the RFFS Warren decided on a new challenge and change in career direction with the Airbus Operations Aerodrome Management team and has now took the position of Aerodrome (Compliance & Safeguarding Officer). Warren will be responsible for the aerodrome safeguarding, crane permits and drone permits. He will also do 3rd party compliance audits for the aerodrome team 5 .

  • Consultation Response PA14. Welsh Local Government Association PDF
    NAfW inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports February 2012 INTRODUCTION 1. The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) represents the 22 local authorities in Wales, and the three national park authorities, the three fire and rescue authorities, and four police authorities are associate members. 2. It seeks to provide representation to local authorities within an emerging policy framework that satisfies the key priorities of our members and delivers a broad range of services that add value to Welsh Local Government and the communities they serve. 3. The WLGA welcomes this opportunity to feed comments into the NAfW‟s inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports. Tables 1 and 2 below show that local authorities have a major interest in this issue with ten authorities having an airport/aircraft facility in their area and eight having a port – six have both. Overall, twelve authorities have an airport and/or a port – all of varying degrees of scale and activity. (In addition there are a number of former ports that have ceased to operate on a large scale but now house other activities including fishing and tourism related activity).
