HAZARDS
1. BIRDSTRIKE HAZARD.
RAF Gibraltar sits in a unique area of Europe where birds are present at all times of the year and at
particular times during the migration season. These can be broken down into seasonal hazards:
Winter (October - March) - Mainly dawn and dusk movements of Yellow-legged Gulls (YLG)
between roosting and feeding sites, along with local YLGs in the vicinity of the airfield all day.
Spring/Summer (February - July) - YLGs moving between breeding sites on the rock and town
area to feeding sites either in Spain, at sea or within Gibraltar. Migration of large birds (Raptors and
Storks) flocking from the South towards Northern Europe particularly between 0900hr and 1600hr
(weather dependant).
Autumn (July - October) - YLG numbers increase as young birds fledge the nest and birds begin
to move around the area similar to winter movements. Return migration South of large birds
(Raptors and Storks), can be in higher numbers after the breeding season. These birds will generally
be moving in a North-to-South direction but may be seen in large flocks around the airfield and
surrounding environment particularly between 0900hr and 1600hr and is weather dependant.
2. TURBULENCE AND WIND SHEAR.

Changes: Elev, VAR
The unique topography of the surrounding area can give rise to severe wind effects which often affect
acft in the final stages of flight. When the wind direction is between 110° and 250° and speed in excess
of 15kt, significant turbulence should be expected during the approach and in final stages of flight
to the lee of the rock. This turbulence can make landing dangerous or impossible and acft captains
are to approach with extreme caution in these conditions. Turbulence and gusts can often be seen
on the surface of the water, a representation of the turbulence effect is at Chart B3. South Westerly
winds in excess of 25kt can lead to the formation of waterspouts in the approach to Rwy 27. Flying
over or in proximity to these waterspouts has been demonstrated to be very hazardous, with rapid
loss of control, severe wing drop and un-commanded change in attitude, altitude and track. ATC will
report waterspouts seen from the tower but acft captains are to be aware that this phenomenon can
establish very quickly and without warning.
Wind speeds in excess of the figures quoted are likely to cause turbulence and/or wind shear on
Final Approach.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES (2) GIBRALTAR
LXGB/GIB GIBRALTAR
3. ROAD CROSSING THE RUNWAY.

Gibraltar's rwy is unique in that it is crossed at the mid-point by a 4 lane public highway, plus
pedestrian and cycle lanes. The road is closed to pedestrians no later than 12nm and closed to
vehicles no later than 8nm, this generally affords 3 minutes for the road to be cleared. FOD inspections
of the intersection are completed prior to any movement involving jet powered acft.
4. HELI ROUTES.
Helicopter routes in the Bay of Gibraltar conflict laterally with the Rwy 09 approach and Rwy 27
departure and missed approach paths. Acft captains are to maintain a good lookout for helicopters
during these stages of flight. The provision of a surveillance service cannot be relied upon due to
the small radar signature and possibility of being below coverage. Std routes and operating altitudes
can be found in the Spanish AIP.
DEPARTURE MINIMUM
5. Vis 1000m at rwy THR.
SRA APPROACH MINIMA
6. Surveillance radar approach procedures do not conform to PANS-OPS and are limited to visual
approaches only. The applicable weather minima for visual approaches is:
Visibility 5km or 5km in the direction of the approach path, cloudbase 1000ft. Civil pilots not in
visual contact with the THR at the 3nm points (point X for Rwy 09 and point Y for Rwy 27) are to
initiate a M/App as directed by ATC. Military pilots not in visual contact with the THR at the VDP
annotated on the military procedures chart are to initate a M/App as directed by ATC.
Changes: Elev, VAR
MISSED APPROACH
7. Surveillance Radar Approach Rwy 09. Climb to 4000 QNH as directed by radar.
Rwy 27. Climb to 4000 QNH as directed by radar.
COMMS FAILURE
8. Surveillance Radar Approach - If radio contact is lost for more than 10 seconds during a
surveillance radar approach, commence immediate climb to 4000 QNH. Once level at 4000 QNH
proceed own navigation to PIMOS.
PYROTECHNICS
9. Pyrotechnic signals are not fired from ATC. Pyrotechnic signals will be fired by a yellow BCU vehicle
normally positioned to the LHS of landing threshold.
TURNAROUND PROCEDURE
10. All acft must use turning circles prior to backtrack. No turning allowed on the runway.

be given radar vectors direct to a 10 mile final for the rwy in use, followed by a SRA to a Visual
Descent Point (VDP) 3nm from the THR. From this position the approach must be continued with
visual reference to the THR or a M/App initiated, as directed by ATC. If weather and traffic
conditions allow, pilots may be cleared for a visual approach but must route via the VDP. In all
cases, pilots will be given track guidance if they appear likely to infringe Spanish Restricted airspace.
3. Overflight of the Rock and harbour installations prohibited .
4. Fast Jet aircraft, recovering to the airfield visually are to recover with a mnm 4nm spacing between
