Airports highlight:

The following points should be considered when you operate to uncontrolled airports.
 
 

Communication

Arrival:

Establish communication with destination radio frequency (131.5)

       Give ETA
       Get currant weather.
       Advise which runway will be used for landing, and ask for VASI or PAPI for preferred light intensity.
       Get ant traffic information if available on ground or arrival at destination.

Establish communication with destination fire rescue station on frequency (133.5) not less than 15 minutes before landing.

       Give aircraft registration and type. ( MD-90  PF )
       Give ETA
       And runway intended for landing.

Establish communication with TIBA frequency ( 122.8 )

      TIBA procedures are enforced in all class G airspace, from the surface up to 11.500 ft MSL and within 40 NM
      And in the ATZ ( airdrome traffic zone )
      ATZ is an airspace of detailed dimensions around an airdrome, which is about 20 NM in all kingdom airports.

(NOTE)

When operating to uncontrolled airports, standard turns (left) are required to enter the traffic pattren within
5 status mile ( 4.34 NM ) from the center of the airport.

Departure:

Prior to departure maintain a listening watch for at least 5 minute on TIBA ( 122.8 )
Broadcast taxi.
Broadcast the aircraft position and intentions before crossing or entering a runway for takeoff
Broadcast before commencing the take-off roll
Broadcast when the aircraft is airborne, when it leaves the traffic circuit and when it leaves the ATZ.
Report the ATD when communication is established with ATC to activate the flight plan for alerting
                  and search and rescue purposes

(NOTE)

When operating to uncontrolled airports, standard turns (left) are required to enter the traffic pattren within
5 status mile ( 4.34 NM ) from the center of the airport. However a non-standard turn up to 20 degrees
from the runway direction is approved.
