This document (Version 2.1) has been prepared specifically to reflect the arrangements in place during the COVID-19 period of operations. The period of specific operations related to COVID-19, for the purpose of this manual commenced on 14 June 2020 and remains in force until 31 December 2020 or as superseded by subsequent versions of the Aerodrome Manual. This manual supersedes Version 2.1 which was developed for the commencement of the COVID-19 period and was in force until the commissioning of the new Runway (Runway 13/31), which commenced operations on 14 June 2020. The Aerodrome Manual is prepared in accordance with the obligation of Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. (SCA Pty Ltd.) as Trustee for Sunshine Coast Airport Trust under Civil Aviation Safety Regulations Part 139.B and in particular 139.050 and 139.095 and the Manual of Standards Part 139. The Aerodrome Manual contains details of essential operating procedures that may not necessarily be safety related but are nevertheless required to satisfy the conditions of Sunshine Coast Airport’s aerodrome certificate, other legal requirements and common law obligations of operating the aerodrome. The Aerodrome Manual has been structured to allow existing documents such as the Airport Emergency Plan, Airside Drivers Handbook, Disabled Aircraft Recovery Strategy Plan and the Transport Security Program to be directly referenced. Each of these documents will continue to be amended and published separately but should be regarded as part of the Aerodrome Manual and should be read in conjunction with the Aerodrome Manual. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority requires SCA Pty Ltd. to operate and maintain Sunshine Coast Airport in accordance with the procedures set out in this Aerodrome Manual. All employees of Sunshine Coast Airport are required to comply with the procedures in this Manual. The documented procedures in this Aerodrome Manual are an accurate reflection of both current and best practices. This Aerodrome Manual will be amended as and when necessary to reflect changing standards, operational practices, airport facilities or personnel. The aerodrome manual will be amended from time to time to reflect changes in relevant operations and will be renewed annually.

Definitions
Aerodrome A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft. Aerodrome elevation The elevation of the highest point of the landing area. Aerodrome reference The designated geographical location of an aerodrome. point Aerodrome reference The monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature for the temperature hottest month of the year (the hottest month being that which has the highest monthly mean temperature.) Aerodrome works Construction or maintenance works carried out at an aerodrome, on or adjacent to the movement area, that may create obstacles or restrict the normal take-off and landing of aircraft. Aeronautical beacon An aeronautical ground light visible at all azimuths, either continuously or intermittently, to designate a particular point on the surface of the earth. Aeronautical study An investigation of a problem concerned with some phase of flight and aimed at identifying possible solutions and selecting the one most acceptable from the point of view of flight safety. Aeroplane reference field The minimum field length required for take-off at maximum length certificated take-off mass, sea level, standard atmospheric conditions, still air and zero runway slope, as shown in the appropriate aeroplane flight manual prescribed by the certificating authority or equivalent data from the aeroplane manufacturer. Field length means balanced field length for aeroplanes, if applicable, or take-off distance in other cases. Aircraft classification A number expressing the relative effect of an aircraft on a number (ACN) pavement for a specified standard subgrade category. Aircraft parking position A designated area on an apron intended to be used for parking an aircraft. Also known as an aircraft stand. Airside The movement area of an aerodrome, adjacent terrain and buildings or portions thereof, access of which is controlled. Apron A defined area on a land aerodrome intended to accommodate aircraft for the purposes of loading or unloading passengers, mail or cargo, fuelling, parking or maintenance. Balanced field length A field length where the distance to accelerate and stop is equal to the take-off distance of an aeroplane experiencing an engine failure at the critical engine failure recognition speed (V1). Capacity discharge light A lamp in which high-intensity flashes of extremely short duration are produced by the discharge of electricity at high voltage through a gas enclosed in a tube. Clearway A defined area at the end of the take-off run available on the ground or water under the control of the aerodrome operator, selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an aeroplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specified height. Critical aeroplane The aeroplane or aeroplanes identified from among the aeroplanes the aerodrome is intended to serve as having the most demanding operational requirements with respect to the determination of movement area dimensions, pavement bearing strength and other physical characteristics in the design of aerodromes.
Initial Issue: February 2006 Definitions 24 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
Critical obstacle The obstacle within the take-off climb area and/or the approach area, which subtends the greatest vertical angle when measured from the inner edge of the take-off climb surface and/or the approach surface. Declared distances 1. Take-off run available (TORA). The length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off. 2. Take-off distances available (TODA). The length of the take- off run available plus the length of the clearway, if provided. 3. Accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA). The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the stopway, if provided. 4. Landing distance available (LDA). The length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane landing. Displaced threshold A threshold not located at the extremity of a runway. Elevation The vertical distance of a point or a level, on or affixed to the surface of the earth, measured from the mean sea level. Frangible object An object of low mass designed to break, distort or yield on impact so as to present the minimum hazard to aircraft. Hazard beacon An aeronautical beacon used to designate a danger to air navigation. Independent parallel Simultaneous departures from parallel or near-parallel instrument departures runways. Instrument meteorological Meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance conditions (IMC) from cloud, and ceiling, less than the minimum specified for visual meteorological conditions. Instrument runway One of the following types of runway intended for the operation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures: 1. Non-precision approach runway. An instrument runway served by visual aids and a radio aid providing at least directional guidance adequate for a straight-in approach with a published minimum descent altitude, also known as landing minima for a particular radio aid or a combination of radio aids. 2. Precision approach runway, category I. An instrument runway served by ILS or MLS and visual aids intended for operations with a decision height not lower than 60 m (200 ft) and either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m. 3. Precision approach runway, category II. An instrument runway served by ILS or MLS and visual aids intended for operations with a decision height lower than 60 m (200 ft) but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and a runway visual range not less than 350 m. 4. Precision approach runway, category III.

(b) Serviceability Standards A lighting system is deemed to be on outage when: • In the case of a lighting system comprising less than 4 lights (e.g.- Taxiway Holding Point lights or Runway Threshold lights), any of the lights become unserviceable. • In the case of a lighting system comprising 4 or 5 lights (e.g.- IWI lights), more than one light becomes unserviceable. • In the case of a lighting system comprising 6 to 13 lights (e.g. Inset Runway Threshold lights), more than 2 lights become unserviceable or 2 adjacent lights become unserviceable. • In the case of a lighting system comprising more than 13 lights, more than 15% of the lights become unserviceable or 2 adjacent lights become unserviceable. For the PAPI, the serviceability standards take into account both the number of unserviceable lamps within a light unit, and also the number of light units within the PAPI system. Each light unit comprises two boxes. Each box contains one lamp. A light unit is considered to be on outage when: • One lamp is unserviceable • A red filter is unserviceable, missing, or damaged. In this case, all of the lights within the affected light unit are to be extinguished until the red filter is rectified. The affected light unit is included as an unserviceable light unit for the PAPI system as a whole The PAPI system is deemed to be on outage when: more than one light unit is unserviceable (c) Airport Lighting Field Circuit Cable Resistance The insulation resistance of Airport Lighting Field Circuits is tested monthly by the Asset Technical Officer or an appropriately qualified person. The minimum insulation resistance to earth of any runway, taxiway or PAPI’s and all other circuit’s should be in accordance with AS3000: Minimum Insulation Resistance > 1 Meg Ohm Where tests reveal that the resistance to earth of any Airport Lighting Field Circuit is below the minimum standard, repair action should be initiated by the General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate. Records of tests will be made on the form in Appendix 1 – Part D.

Part 2 Section 5 Unauthorised Entry to Aerodrome
Introduction SCA Pty Ltd. is obligated to develop and maintain a Transport Security Program (TSP) under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 and the Aviation Transport Regulations 2005. The airport has been declared a security controlled airport and is regulated by the Department of Infrastructure. Access from landside to airside of the airport is strictly controlled and airline staff escort passengers to and from Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) aircraft. Particulars of the procedures for preventing the unauthorised entry of persons, vehicles, equipment, plant or animals, or other things that may endanger aircraft safety, into the movement area, including details of the following: (i) the arrangements for controlling airside access • No persons are permitted airside without lawful excuse. • The RPT apron and other restricted areas can only be accessed by persons holding a valid aviation security identification card (ASIC) or accompanied and escorted by a person holding an ASIC and be issued with a visitor identification card (VIC). • The airport perimeter is fenced with a 2.1m to 2.4m high security fence for its entire length. The CBS area has a colour bond fencing as a physical barrier to prevent unauthorised access airside and is colour bond to minimise passenger sighting of the CBS process. A risk assessment has been undertaken prior to installation of the colour bond fencing. • All access points are locked with keys, proximity cards or chains and padlocks. • “Security Restricted Area” and "Airside Area" signs are placed at all points of entry to the airside. • On the perimeter fence, “Airside Area” signs are placed at regular intervals. • Vehicle access airside is controlled through the provisions of the Airside Vehicle Control Handbook. Note: More specific information is located in the Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. TSP. The TSP has a restricted circulation. Airport fixed base operators can have vehicular access on a limited basis by application for an access key to the General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate. The General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate vets applicants before any access key is issued. Individual aircraft operators do not have vehicular access to the airport “airside” unless they have a contractual lease arrangement with Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd. for hangar facilities, or similar, at Sunshine Coast Airport. The Airport Safety Officer monitors airport vehicular and pedestrian access and general security whilst on duty. RPT, charter and private aircraft operators are responsible for controlling access of passengers to and from their aircraft. The Office of Transport Security conducts audits and inspections. (ii) the names and roles of the persons who are responsible for controlling access to the movement area and the telephone numbers for contacting them during and after working hours
Initial Issue: February 2006 Unauthorised Entry to Aerodrome 90 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
The General Manager Operations and Assets and Airport Safety Officers are primarily responsible for controlling access to the movement area. Their contact telephone numbers are in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this Manual. However, other organisations have vital roles in ensuring appropriate access controls are maintained.
Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd The General Manager Operations and Assets has overall responsibility for airport security and for the control of airside access to the airport. The General Manager Operations and Assets has established an Airport Security Committee and has delegated the Airfield Manager as chairperson of that Committee. The General Manager Operations and Assets is responsible for developing a Transport Security Program for approval by the Office of Transport Security. The Airport Safety Officers are responsible for the implementation of those aspects of the Transport Security Program that control access to the security areas of the airport.
Domestic airlines In accordance with the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005, licensed domestic and international airlines are required to develop and implement an Aviation Transport Security Program approved by the Office of Transport Security. This program details procedures to protect passengers, crew and aircraft from acts of unlawful interference. Each plan also makes provisions for intending passengers and their carry-on baggage to be security screened.
Airline operators Other airline operators are also responsible for prevention of unauthorised access via any sector of the airport under their direct control e.g. passenger terminals, aircraft hangars, workshops, buildings and licensed aprons.
Airport tenants Airport tenants and lessees are responsible for controlling access to restricted areas via their buildings and/or leased areas.

The information contained in the Daily Serviceability Checklist includes: • The facilities inspected: • Weather details at the beginning of shift and any significant changes in weather such as heavy rain, high winds or reduced visibility; • Bird strikes or any other unusual occurrence e.g. unauthorised movement of persons, vehicles or plant on the movement area, aircraft incidents or accidents, etc; • Location of substandard conditions that require attention, and a note of action taken; • Objects including bird and animal remains found on the movement area; New obstacles detected; and • Any problems with runway, taxiway and apron surfaces. • Unserviceability or any other condition of concern that has been detected is noted on the Daily Serviceability Checklist with a description of the action taken. • The Airport Safety Officer is required to sign the Daily Serviceability Checklist after each inspection. • Daily Serviceability Checklist records are maintained in the Operations Centre for at least seven years. (iv) details of the inspection checklist Airport Safety Officers inspect airport lighting equipment for lamp outages, broken light filters, damaged fittings and any other problem. Refer to daily check sheets in Appendix 1(part A and B) Section 3, Aerodrome lighting. Test the PAL /AFRU and ensure that it switches airport lighting equipment “ON”, and cycle time including flashing lights. The Sunshine Coast Airport Daily Serviceability Inspection Checklist is at Appendix 1. (v) the arrangements for communicating with air traffic control during the inspections Sunshine Coast Airport is an Air Traffic Controlled airport generally between the hours of 07:30 and 19:40 daily, although these times can change with short notice. During inspections when the Tower is operating, the Airport Safety Officer communicates with the Sunshine Coast Tower on 124.4 Mhz. Outside of Tower hours a radio listening watch is kept on Sunshine Coast Aerodrome CTAF-R 124.4 Mhz. Brisbane ATS can be contacted by Radio (Frequency 129.0 Mhz) on the ground outside of Tower hours or by telephone.

The Airport Safety Officers, General Manager Operations and Assets, Airfield Manager and Asset Technical Officer hold an Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate issued by CASA. Sunshine Coast Airport has an Aerodrome Frequency Response Unit (AFRU) plus Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL) in operation outside of Tower hours to advise pilots that their radios are working on the correct frequency. The features of the unit are as follows: a. When the aerodrome traffic frequency has not been used for the past five (5) minutes, the next transmission over three (3) seconds in length will cause a voice identification message to be transmitted in response, i.e. “SUNSHINE COAST AERODROME”. When the airport traffic frequency has been used within the previous five (5) minutes, a 300 millisecond tone (an audible “beep”) will be generated after each transmission over three (3) seconds in length. A series of three microphone clicks within a period of three seconds will activate the airport lighting. In the event that the transmitter in the frequency response unit becomes jammed for a period of greater than one minute, the unit will automatically shut down.
(vi) the arrangements for reporting the results of the inspections and for taking prompt follow-up action to ensure correction of unsafe conditions Whenever a hazardous condition occurs at the airport, the Airport Safety Officer is required to take appropriate action including closing the affected area of the airport, if required and setting out the appropriate markers as detailed in MOS Part 139 – Aerodromes. The Airport Safety Officer will arrange follow-up action or remedial works as a result of the inspection. These works are to be affected immediately if required, or as soon as is practical for works not impacting aircraft safety. Reporting the results of the inspection when reporting to outside organisations will be in accordance with Section 4 of this Aerodrome Manual. If the inspection reveals a major defect in the pavements and/or drainage, this will be reported to the Airfield Manager, who will escalate the issue if required to the General Manager Operations and Assets who may instigate a Technical Inspection by a technically competent person. Similarly, the Airport Safety Officer is required to advise the Airfield Manager or General Manager Operations and Assets of any maintenance work considered necessary to avoid a potentially hazardous condition developing.
(vii) the names and roles of the persons who are responsible for carrying out the inspections and the telephone numbers for contacting them during and after working hours The General Manager Operations and Assets ensures that there are sufficient resources for Serviceability Inspections to be conducted. The Airfield Manager ensures that the inspections are carried out to the appropriate standard. The Airport Safety Officers are responsible for conducting serviceability inspections. The contact telephone numbers of the General Manager Operations and Assets, Airfield Manager and Airport Safety Officers are contained in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this Manual.

Part 2 Section 8 AERODROME WORKS SAFETY
Aerodrome Works means: Construction or maintenance works carried out at an aerodrome, on or adjacent to the movement area, that may create obstacles or restrict the normal take-off and landing of aircraft. Installation of new facilities and maintenance of existing facilities will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of MOS Part 139. All aerodrome works will be carried out in accordance with MOS Part 139. NOTAMs will be issued not less than 48 hours before commencement of aerodrome works under a Method of Working Plan (MOWP) or 24 hours for time limited works. Duties of the Works Safety Officer (WSO) will be in accordance with MOS Part 139, Section 10.12. Works can be carried out on the following basis: Time limited works. Where aircraft operations are not disrupted, and the operational serviceability of the Airport can be restored within 30 minutes, (NOTAM is required if recall is greater than 10 minutes). Method of Working Plans. The Airport operator must not carry out works other than time limited works without a Method of Working Plan unless the Airport has been closed for the works or the works are defined as ‘unscheduled’ or emergency works, or the works do not impact the operations of the aerodrome in accordance with MOS 139. Works within runway strips will be conducted in accordance with the requirements in MOS Part 139, Section 10.10.12. Particulars of the procedures for planning and safely carrying out aerodrome works (including works that may have to be carried out at short notice), including details of the following: (i) the preparation of a method-of-working plan identifying areas of the aerodrome affected during each stage of the work and steps taken to ensure safety standards are met The person responsible for planning and executing aerodrome works is the General Manager Operations and Assets or the Airfield Manager and the Airport Safety Officers who will ensure that the aerodrome works do not create a hazard to aircraft. The General Manager Operations and Assets will appoint the Airport Safety Officers as Works Safety Officers in accordance with MOS Part 139, Section 10.10.7 and will ensure that they are trained to undertake the functions as described in MOS Part 139, Section 10.12. The General Manager Operations and Assets will ensure that the Works Safety Officers have sufficient resources to effectively carry out the duties and that all licencing and authorisations applicable are current. An MOWP is a document which provides formal advice to the aviation industry and other involved parties, regarding the planned arrangements for the conduct of aerodrome works (other than time limited works). In particular an MOWP advises of restrictions placed on aircraft operations and on the works organisation as a consequence of the works. The Airfield manager will develop the MOWP for approval from the General Manager Operations and Assets. The MOWP will include a drawing, depicting chainages on the runway for a displaced threshold if required. This will include the equipment limit line (witches

Part 2 Section 9 Aircraft Parking Control
Particulars of the procedures for aircraft parking control, if established, including details of the following: (i) the arrangements between air traffic control and apron management Air Traffic Control services are generally provided at Sunshine Coast Airport between 07:30hrs and 19:40hrs daily. Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) jet aircraft have allocated bays on the RPT Apron, which are allocated and managed by the aerodrome operator. . Itinerant aircraft above 5,700 kg must obtain prior approval from the aerodrome operator (General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate, or the Airport Safety Officer) at least 48 hours prior to the aircraft arriving at the airport. Air Traffic Control is advised of the itinerant aircraft movement. Aircraft below 5,700 kg are not permitted on the main RPT apron unless approved by Sunshine Coast Airport Pty Ltd and a note in ERSA advises pilots of this restriction. Air Traffic Control will ensure that these aircraft adhere to this restriction. There are two paved areas available for aircraft below 5,700 kg. Tie down cables are available for use on the southern apron. Some grass areas are also available for itinerant aircraft parking. Limited parking facilities are available for rotary winged aircraft and are marked blue on pavement areas and by blue cones. (ii) the arrangements for allocating aircraft parking positions The aircraft parking positions marked on the RPT apron and Southern Apron at Sunshine Coast Airport are shown in Appendices 1 and 2 respectively. After consultation with the airlines operating at the time of preparation of the plan, a design is prepared based on their operational requirements and the standards in MOS Part 139. An aviation specialist service provider with extensive knowledge of aircraft operations and blast protection requirements will generally prepare the design. Any plans prepared will also indicate what restrictions apply to each parking position by aircraft type. A review of the RPT parking layout will be instigated if circumstances, traffic density and/or aircraft types change. Itinerant aircraft require parking approval prior to operating at Sunshine Coast Airport. Details of itinerant aircraft parking approvals are recorded electronically. (iii) the arrangements for initiating engine start and ensuring clearances for aircraft push-back Pilots are responsible for ensuring adequate clearance during engine start-up and push-pack procedures at Sunshine Coast Airport. During controlled hours, ATC coordinates the push-back and start of aircraft on the RPT Apron. Outside of controlled hours (CTAF), the PIC is responsible for the safe push-back and start- up of aircraft. Procedures for push-back and start during CTAF are further described in ERSA. An aircraft ground-running and test area is provided at Sunshine Coast Airport for GA operators. This area is located on Taxiway Alpha (alternative run-up area is located at southern end of TWY Delta with prior approval from AD Operator). For RPT aircraft, ground-running tests are conducted either on the RPT apron or alternate location (eg – TWY A) with prior approval from the AD operator.

Part 2 Section 12 Obstacle Control
This section of the manual contains information on obstacles that may affect aircraft operations. The monitoring and ongoing protection of the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) is fundamental to ensuring safe aircraft operations and ensuring that Sunshine Coast Airport can be developed into the future. Particulars of the following: (i) the procedures for monitoring the obstacle limitation surfaces and the Type A chart take-off surface for obstacles SCA Pty Ltd. monitors the potential effect of the new structures on the airport Obstacle Limitation and PANS-OPS surfaces through its planning approval process. Any tall structures proposed within the Sunshine Coast Region are referred to the General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate to assess whether they may affect aircraft operations. If it is possible that a structure may affect the departure and approach procedures or infringe the OLS or PANS-OPS surfaces for Sunshine Coast, the details are forwarded to the CASA and Airservices Australia (ASA) Instrument Procedure Design Section for assessment. Airport Safety Officers include a visual check for new obstacles in the approach/take-off and transitional surfaces during their daily inspections. The OLS will be checked by physical survey, on an annual basis, by a suitably qualified surveyor. The parameters for the OLS surfaces to be surveyed are included in Appendix 2. The results of the survey will be provided to the General Manager Operations and Assets and if amendments to published information are required, they will be notified to CASA and AIS by NOTAM. This notification will generally be undertaken by the Airfield Manager or General Manager Operations and Assets. A record is maintained of all surveys and NOTAM advice in the Airport Operations Centre. The overall OLS plans for Sunshine Coast Airport are shown in Appendix 1 and Appendix 4. For any new tall structures or additions to existing tall structures in the OLS area, full details are requested including elevation in relation to the Australian Height Datum. Temporary Obstacle Assessment Crane operations are assessed using the crane application form shown in Appendix 3. Any proposed activity likely to infringe the OLS is referred to Airservices Australia and CASA for assessment. Once assessed and if approved, NOTAM is issued as required accordingly. An Aerodrome Obstacle Type A chart has been produced for Sunshine Coast Airport, refer Appendix 5. Type A chart notifications are issued through the Type A Chart distribution list, maintained by Airfield Manager. (ii) the procedures for monitoring building developments (in relation to the height of buildings and other structures) within the horizontal limits of the obstacle limitation surfaces SCA Pty Ltd. considers the potential effect on the obstacle limitation surfaces as part of its planning approval process. The obstacle limitation surfaces contour plan determines the height control for any development within a 15 kilometre radius of the airport.
Initial Issue: February 2006 Obstacle Control 122 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
Planning applications which are in the nominated OLS area, are referred to the General Manager Operations and Assets who determines whether the proposed structure will affect aerodrome operations. If the object is an industrial chimney, smoke stacks at power stations, smelters or combustion sources capable of generating exhaust plumes with an average vertical velocity exceeding the limiting value (4.3 m/s at the height of the airport OLS), the proposal will be referred to CASA to assess the potential hazard to aircraft safety. Tall obstacles which are in the vicinity of Sunshine Coast Airport but outside the OLS area, are also referred to the General Manager Operations and Assets. The Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) Plans are monitored and maintained by the General Manager Operations and Assets or their delegate. Any proposed activity (including crane operations and proposed building developments) that are likely to infringe OLS or PANS-OPS surfaces are forwarded to CASA and Airservices Australia (Instrument Procedure Assessment) for operational and aviation hazard assessment. (iii) if the aerodrome has instrument approach procedures – the procedures for monitoring for new objects or building developments in any other areas nominated by the instrument procedure designers The Airfield Manager will arrange for an annual reconnaissance of the areas covered by Airservices Australia procedure designs to ensure that no higher objects have been erected close to the critical obstacles listed in the Table associated with the plans provided by Airservices Australia. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority will also be notified of any new obstacles. (iv) the arrangements between CASA, local planning authorities and other relevant organisations in relation to the approval of building developments that may infringe the obstacle limitation surfaces The Sunshine Coast Regional Council is the local planning authority and through its Local Environment Plan controls all building developments.

Part 2 Section 13 DISABLED AIRCRAFT REMOVAL
Particulars of the procedures for removing an aircraft that is disabled on or near the movement area, including details of the following: (i) the roles of the aerodrome operator and the holder of the aircraft’s certificate of registration SCA Pty Ltd. has prepared a Disabled Aircraft Recovery Strategy Plan which is published separately to the Aerodrome Manual and covers all aspects involved in the removal of a disabled aircraft from the movement area on the airport. The pilot is expected to have the authority of the holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration to immediately remove an aircraft that is obstructing operations on the movement area of the airport. The holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration is responsible for providing, by the fastest means possible, any special equipment that may be necessary to permit removal of a disabled aircraft. Removal of crashed aircraft is subject to the clearance of Air Traffic Safety Bureau (ATSB) and other investigating teams. The Directorate of Defence Aviation and Air Force Safety are responsible for any investigation following an accident involving an Australian Defence Force aircraft. The Aerodrome Emergency Plan, (refer Part 2, Section 2 of this Manual), also details the responsibilities for removal of disabled aircraft. The General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate will ensure that a NOTAM and markings are initiated if required. (ii) the arrangements for telling the holder of the certificate of registration Initially the pilot of a disabled aircraft is expected to notify the holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration. The person responsible for notification to the Certificate of Registration holder to remove the aircraft, if the pilot is not available, is the General Manager Operations and Assets. If the Certificate of Registration is not known to the General Manager Operations and Assets, then details will be obtained from the pilot if possible or from the CASA web site: http://casa.gov.au/casadata/register/index.htm
(iii) the arrangements for liaising with air traffic control and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) Sunshine Coast Airport has Air Traffic Control (ATC) present during the hours of approximately 07:30hrs to 19:40hrs daily. If the ATC becomes aware of a disabled aircraft, they will immediately call the Airport Rescue Fire Service and the Airport Safety Officer. In consultation with the Airport Safety Officer, parts of the movement area may be closed to other aircraft traffic. Outside of the ATC operating hours the Airport Safety Officer will notify Brisbane ATC of closure of parts of the movement area due to the disabled aircraft and the Airfield Manager, who will subsequently notify the General Manager Operations and Assets.
Initial Issue: February 2006 Disabled Aircraft Removal 133 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
ATSB will be notified immediately of an occurrence that requires their involvement, by the General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate. (iv) the arrangements for obtaining equipment and persons to remove the aircraft The holder of the aircraft's certificate of registration is expected to provide, by the fastest means possible, any specialised equipment and personnel required to remove a disabled aircraft. SCA Pty Ltd. staff may assist with plant and equipment to assist the recovery. Prior to any recovery assistance from SCA Pty Ltd. resources, the aircraft operator is required to indemnify SCA Pty Ltd. from any adverse consequence resulting from its staff’s activities during the recovery process. A copy of the Indemnity Form is included in Appendix 1 of this section. SCA staff will also advise the aircraft operator the contacts of any commercial crane operators that may assist in providing equipment for the removal of disabled aircraft. (v) the names and roles of the persons who are responsible for arranging for the removal of an aircraft which is disabled, and the telephone numbers for contacting them during and after working hours The General Manager Operations and Assets, Airfield Manager and the Airport Safety Officers are responsible for coordinating the removal of an aircraft which is disabled. The pilot can contact a Crane Hire Service or appropriate towing service or other equipment as necessary. Their contact telephone numbers are in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this Aerodrome Manual. The General Manager Operations and Assets is responsible for: • Approving the removal of disabled aircraft and confirming that the appropriate regulatory clearance has been provided. • Ensuring that an Indemnity and Release Form is executed prior to any airport staff involvement in the removal of disabled aircraft.
The Airfield Manager is responsible for: • Ensuring a NOTAM and markings are initiated if required • Ensuring notification of the Certificate of Registration holder
The Airport Safety Officer is responsible for: • In the absence of the General Manager Operations and Assets, or Airfield Manager, coordinating the removal of disabled aircraft after confirmation that the appropriate regulator clearance has been obtained. • Ensuring a NOTAM is issued and markings are initiated. • Assisting with the notification of the Certificate of Registration holder. • Assisting with the removal of the aircraft if requested by the Certificate of Registration holder only after an Indemnity and Release Form has been executed.

Initial Issue: February 2006 Low Visibility Operations 144 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
Part 2 Section 16 Low Visibility Operations
Particulars of the procedures for management of ground activities at Sunshine Coast Airport Sunshine Coast Airport facilities do not support aircraft operations (take-off and landing) in low visibility conditions. The Standard Operating Procedures referred to in in this Manual are designed to enable the ASOs to secure the airfield and provide the necessary information to ATC. Refer: SCA Pty Ltd Standard Operating Procedures (SCAPL-SOP-014). (i) During operating hours ATC determines and notifies ASO if low visibility procedures (LVP) are to commence. The proceedings commence when visibility reduces to 2400 metres, runway visibility is 800 metres or less or the cloud ceiling is 200FT or less. Outside of ATC hours and if an ASO is on shift, the ASO will refer to SCAPL- SOP-014 as a guide only. (ii) Airport tenants are to be notified at activation/termination of LVP. Any active worksites are stood down and all personnel vacated from airside. Unmanned gates remain locked and electronic gates immobilised. Access for essential vehicles during periods of low visibility must be under ASO escort. (iii) A runway inspection will be undertaken, including taxiways and aprons, to ensure vehicles and work activities have been cleared. Confirmation of each cleared area confirmed via radio with ATC. The ASO will be stationed on the RPT Apron to monitor for vehicles/pedestrians. ASO will conduct full inspections of runways, taxiways and helicopter landing site once LVP terminated. (iv) ATC will determine and activate LVP during ATC hours. ASO will notify the Airfield Manager, who will subsequently notify the General Manager Operations and Assets once notified by ATC. Contact details can be found in the Master Contact List in the Introduction Section of this manual.

PART 2 Section 17 – Local Procedures
Initial Issue: February 2006 Local Procedures 146 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
Part 2 Section 17 Local Procedures
1. Pavement Concessions A pavement concession is a privilege that may be granted to an aircraft operator allowing the landing, take-off, taxiing or parking of an aircraft on a runway, taxiway or apron, which would not otherwise be available. It is an instrument of pavement management, enabling an aircraft operator to load an aircraft pavement beyond the rated capacity under specific conditions generally related to aircraft tyre pressure, mass and frequency of operations and the condition of the pavement. Airport management is responsible for determining in each case whether a pavement concession is to be granted and any special conditions applicable. Additional landing fees may be charged. There is no mandatory requirement for the Airport operator to grant a pavement concession. In normal circumstances, a pavement concession allows the Airport operator to gain the benefit of occasional heavier/larger aircraft operations on pavements of lesser design standard without significant cost outlay or reduction in pavement life. A pavement concession is based on economic considerations. Airport Management will weigh the advantage to be derived from allowing some pavement overload, against the penalties involved (e.g. pavement repair or the need to carry out maintenance earlier than would be normal) and decide accordingly. To identify the strength of pavements, the Aircraft Classification Number – Pavement Classification Number (ACN-PCN) method is used. The pavement strength rating (PCN) for Sunshine Coast Airport is listed in the ERSA. Operations by aircraft imposing more severe loadings on the pavement than are allowed by the pavement rating are not permitted without a pavement concession. The handling and issue of pavement concessions is to be in accordance with the procedures set out below. 2. Concession Decision Criteria Aircraft operators apply to the Airport operator for consideration of a pavement concession, providing full details of the proposed movement(s). Each application from an operator for an aircraft to operate outside the limits allowed by a pavement rating involves assessment on a case by case basis. To ensure the safety of the operation where the proposed overloading of a pavement is so great that damage to the aircraft is likely to the extent that the safety of the occupants is in doubt, a pavement concession is not to be approved regardless of the circumstances. 3. Granting Pavement Concessions Approvals can be granted by the General Manager Operations and Assets or his delegate. Operators are advised if a pavement concession is granted and any conditions imposed. ATC is also advised. An approval may take the form of an AD HOC or standing pavement concession: (1) AD HOC The “ad hoc” pavement concession is to be used to cover a small number of operations and issued on a flight by flight basis or covering several flights on the one concession.
Initial Issue: February 2006 Local Procedures 147 Updated: June 2020 Version: 2.2
(2) STANDING The “standing” pavement concessions are to be used to cover a relatively large number of operations carried out over an extended period. They allow a specified number of movements over a fixed period. (3) SCHEDULED PERIOD The “scheduled period” pavement concession is to be issued to airlines to provide a pavement concession for the whole of the duration of the schedule period. (4) ADVISORY The “advisory” pavement concession is to be used, in response to requests for pavement concessions at some future but unspecified date. The request is actioned, but issue of the pavement concession is delayed pending advice of the actual date from the operator.
