Tingwall Aerodrome Manual Part 1 Issue 13 Issue date 01 January 2021 Uncontrolled Part 1 – Document Administration Section 1 - 4 Section 1 Contents & Preface
Preface
The Tingwall Aerodrome Manual provides clear, concise information about the Airport, its systems for managing safety and the operational procedures.
The Aerodrome Manual meets the requirement of Legislation, in particular the ANO Schedule 12, in providing the above information for the Aerodrome Operating Staff.
For clarity, it needs to be made clear that Aerodrome Operating Staff includes both Shetland Islands Council employed AFISO and RFFS staff and anyone who is required to be airside as part of their employment - regardless of which organisation they work for.
Accountable Manager – Tingwall Airport
Meanings of Words
May Permissive
Will A description of what will happen in a given situation. (Not to be used as an instruction.)
Should Strongly advisable. (Per CAP 168 Introduction, Paragraph 4) - This does not mean that compliance is optional but rather that, where insurmountable difficulties exist, the CAA may accept an alternative means of compliance, and provided that an acceptable safety assurance from the applicant or licence holder shows that the safety requirements will not be reduced below that intended by the requirement.
Must, is to, are to, shall A mandatory instruction / requirement.
Tingwall Aerodrome Manual Part 1 Issue 13 Issue date 01 January 2021 Uncontrolled Part 1 – Document Administration Section 2 - 1 Section 2 Purpose and Structure of Aerodrome Manual
PURPOSE
The documentation associated with the operational management of an airport is, of necessity, complex. It must:
Satisfy the requirements of legislation, primarily the Air Navigation Order and Health and Safety legislation. Meet the requirements of the UK Civil Aviation Authority. Be an information system which assists personnel to perform their role correctly. Define the operational procedures. Identify accountabilities. Whenever possible avoid duplication of subject matter. Be readable and user friendly. Note. This Manual provides some additional information, particularly concerning the SMS to assist the Aerodrome Operating Staff.
STRUCTURE
The Manual structure follows broadly that detailed by ICAO in the Manual of Aerodrome Certification [Doc 9774] except that the Emergency Orders are issued as a separate document.
The Manual also contains the information detailed in CAA document CAP 168 except that to avoid duplication of information, where other Tingwall documents provide the required information, this Manual cross-refers to such other documents.
Tingwall Aerodrome Manual Part 1 Issue 13 Issue date 01 January 2021 Uncontrolled Part 1 – Document Administration Section 2 - 2 Section 2 Purpose and Structure of Aerodrome Manual
The constituent parts of the Aerodrome Manual are as follows.
Part 1 - Document Administration
Part 2 - Aerodrome Plans
Part 3 - Airport Technical Information
Part 4 - Airport Operating Instructions
Part 5 - Safety Management System
Part 6 - Emergency Orders
The Aerodrome Manual is a living document and will be distributed as described in Part 1 Section 3-3. However, changes occur for a multiplicity of reasons and it will be necessary to bring such matters to the attention of all relevant recipients of the Aerodrome Manual.
All such changes to information and published procedures will be notified using the following systems:
Supplementary Instructions [SIs] – will be used to notify all changes to existing information and procedures together with all new information and procedures. These will be issued as they occur and shall be incorporated into the document proper at the next amendment. (Where changes or new information of a purely administrative nature are identified, no Supplements shall be issued. These changes / additions shall be incorporated at the next amendment). [Aerodrome Manual Supplements constitute an integral part of the Aerodrome Manual].
Temporary Operating Instructions [TOIs] - will be used to notify all temporary changes to existing information and procedures. These will be issued as necessary but will not be incorporated into the document proper. TOIs are a constituent part of the Aerodrome Manual during their period of validity.
Notices are used by Tingwall Airport simply as a means of providing domestic information (e.g. Details of new staff; training courses etc.). Notices are issued via e- mail and do not form part of the Aerodrome Manual.
SIs, TOIs and notices are subject to SWP ADMIN 008 ‘Document Control Procedure’. The SWP details the read receipt procedure.
The Accountable Manager will ensure that reviews of all SIs and TOIs are undertaken quarterly at Operations meetings (‘OPS 3’).
