VDS (ULM) and advanced VDS activity is cleared only for Tecnam and OMA SUD activity and for their customers. Flight Customers/visitors of above companies are allowed to fly to and from Capua, provided previous coordination with companies is completed. It shall be checked: ñ field opening hours, ñ runway condition and fire brigade availability, ñ a/c parking, fuelling and servicing ICAO FPLN to and from LIAU shall indicate on field 18 their Capua operator: e.g “RMK/Flight coordinated with C.A. TECNAM” CUSTOMS / SECURITY No Custom and Security (Police) are available at LIAU: no direct arrival or direct departure to a foreign airport is permitted, only domestic flights will be allowed (to and from Italian fields). Appropriate Airport with Customs and/or Security, as needed, shall be selected for stop over before entering/leaving ITALY. ATC / COM LIAU resides within LIRM CTR, controlled by GRAZZANISE App: 122,100 MHz. In Capua a local INFO Radio is available but not continuously attended ATS use. It will not give any clearance; contact local Capua Radio 122,500 MHz just for blind transmission before line up in the runway for take-off and before landing on final. All ATC communications shall be done on GRA App 122,100MHz: - access and crossing of GRA CTR to join Capua traffic pattern, - meteo info’s in GRA CTR, rev. set-13 pag. 3 - closure of flight plan on final before landing in Capua, - line up on Capua runway and take off, - climb out procedures (VFR and VFR to IFR). All communications with GRA App shall contain type of a/c, POB, intentions, and should indicate which Capua OPERATOR coordinated the flight: e.g. “OE-FIN, P2006T with VFR flight plan, 2 POB, from TEA to Capua, 1000ft, will report on final 26 at Capua, flight coordinated with TECNAM”. Runway lighting, Meteorological Service and Air Traffic Information Service are not available at LIAU (VFR DAY ONLY). Pilots planning should refer to Grazzanise (LIRM) and Napoli Capodichino (LIRN) Meteo and NOTAM. NAV / RWY LAYOUT WARNING Runway works in progress North of the marked grass strip.
