[Ray Finkle]

ILS RWY 33 DOWNGRADED TO PERFORMANCE CATEGORY I ONLY

How long has that been now, 2 years or so?

ENTRY TO RWY 15 VIA A1 IS NOT PERMITTED FOR THE FOLLOWING AIRCRAFT
TYPES AND WEIGHTS: B777 WITH A MAXIMUM TAKEOFF WEIGHT (MTOW)
EXCEEDING 278.679 TONNES (278,679 KGS) AND A380 WITH A MTOW
EXCEEDING 444 TONNES (444,000 KGS).

Now we know why aircraft are departing from TWY B.

 

[Matt995]

I believe the issue with the 33 CAT III ILS is due to drainage problems in the critical area, fingers crossed they can get it sort out before the Autumn foggy season arrives!

Yes I was aware of the taxiway restrictions for the A380 at Alpha, I believe that have to do a pit replacement before the taxiway can cope!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Thanks for the info.

Is this new as it also mentions 77W restrictions, where that type have been using that taxiway for years? Of course it could be that the Emirates and PIA aircraft are under the weight restrictions mentioned?

 

[Matt995]

to be honest Ray I wasn't aware of the B777 restrictions, not certain if it has much of an impact on the EK/PK aircraft, I've never seen it being an issue so far for 15 departures?

 

[Ray Finkle]

I've not seen it cause an issue either.

I suppose Islamabad and Dubai aren't exactly far for a 77W so maybe they're not loaded up over that weight?

 

[Matt995]

C3818/16

So the runway holding point at A1 is still weight restricted for the A380 & B777 until at least 31/10/16, and more importantly Flight Calibration of the ILS is taking placing tonight, hopefully to test if the 33 ILS can be approved for Cat III landings! mind you don't hold your breath!!! Fingers crossed it has or will now be sorted!!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Thanks for those.

Lets hope that the ILS will be sorted at last, how long has it been now, around 2 years or so?

Do we know why A1 is still weight restricted? Is it anything to do with the drainage works that were done by the Alpha Loop?

 

[Matt995]

Yes its been a long time without Cat 2 or 3 on the 33 ILS. Even if the flight calibration test is successful, I believe that the 33 ILS has to radiate for 200 hours before Cat 2 or 3 approach's can start.

All I know about the A1 taxiway restrictions, is that its something to do with a pit, not certain where about this is on the airfield, or what actually requires doing, guess they are working on it slowly!

 

[Matt995]

A couple of new NOTAMs refering to Night Closures, and the on going work to fix the 33 ILS!

[David_itl]

I'm a bit surprised that the ILS is going to be out of service till 8am everyday - I would have expected something like 6.30am to 7am so that there would be less opportunity for aircraft to hold/divert in case LVPs come into force?

Probably looking at it from the point of view of getting the early morning departures rush cleared in the case of bad weather.

 

[Matt995]

The Notam is actually showing the 33 ILS is out of service from the 1st November at 23:00 until the 21st December at 08:00, so is therefore not available for a month and a half!, I believe they are working on the drainage issues in the critical ILS area, hence it not being available, fingers crossed for a Cat 3 working ILS in 2017!

 

[Matt995]

Updated Notam today :-

B) FROM: 16/12/14 10:21C) TO: 17/01/31 23:59
E) ILS GP RWY 33 U/S

The 33 ILS problems have now been extended to 31st January, does this indicate that the drainage works that have closed the runway at night for the last few weeks to 'fix' the ILS has been unsuccessful?

I'm begining to wonder if we will ever see a work Cat III ILS on 33 ever again?

The Glidepath (GP) has now been out of service since 1st November, and as per this notam will continue until 30th June, and before that the ILS was only cat I for last summer!

serious problems still on runway 33, and now almost 3 years without Cat III autoland capabilities!

Oh dear. I thought there were some calibration aircraft booked in?

Is it still drainage issues?

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Is it still drainage issues?

From reading other forum's, I believe it is. I read a while back on another forum, that a lot of 'expensive' topsoil had been laid down and seeded with grass (given the rate at which my lawn is currently growing, this must now be well established).
Also, shortly afterwards, I grabbed some screenshots from FR24 around midnight one evening showing an aircraft making many approaches and go arounds at BHX. I think it was labelled as a calibration aircraft, but unfortunately I can't now find the screenshots.
Hopefully it will get sorted in the near future.
