According to the new directive <strong>Simultaneous take-off and landing procedures<\/strong> at both aerodromes, i.e. at <strong>EDTX<\/strong> and <strong>EDTY<\/strong>is not permitted. Simultaneous operation on the <strong>paved runway<\/strong> and the <strong>Grass track<\/strong> in EDTY is prohibited in order to prevent conflicts in flight operations. The grass runway may also not be used as a parking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the regulation refers to the <strong>joint radio communication<\/strong> of the two aerodromes. Air traffic for both aerodromes is handled via the <strong>joint flight control<\/strong> coordinated in EDTY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. VFR powered flight operations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special consideration must be given to gliding operations. It is therefore stipulated that during gliding operations the area <strong>south of the two aerodromes<\/strong> must be avoided. This measure is intended to ensure the safety of gliding operations and avoid collisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. glider operations (EDTY and EDTX)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the <strong>Gliding operations<\/strong> the regulations of the <strong>Gliding operating regulations (SBO)<\/strong> of the <strong>German Aero Clubs<\/strong> as amended from time to time. However, there are also special regulations for operation: When the <strong>IFR flight operations<\/strong> glider operations on the <strong>Grass track 10\/28<\/strong> are not carried out in order to prevent interference with IFR traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particularly important is the <strong>Coordination of aircraft towing operations<\/strong> in EDTX. Here, the glider pilot must liaise with the EDTY\/EDTX flight director via the company radio to ensure that the towing procedure runs smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. skydiving operations (EDTX)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the <strong>Skydiving operations<\/strong> New rules have also been defined for EDTX. Before the jump operation begins, a <strong>Jump ladder<\/strong> to the joint EDTY\/EDTX flight control centre. Drop-off procedures may only be carried out if <strong>No traffic in the circuit area<\/strong> is located. This serves to avoid accidents or dangerous approaches between aeroplanes and parachutists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. special regulations for the special landing site Schw\u00e4bisch Hall-Weckrieden (EDTX)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the special landing site <strong>Schw\u00e4bisch Hall-Weckrieden<\/strong> (EDTX), additional provisions apply to ensure coordination with the EDTY airfield. Each <strong>Aircraft pilot<\/strong> must be familiarised with the <strong>joint flight control<\/strong> and remain contactable by radio during all take-off and landing procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, approaching aircraft flying to EDTX should be able to use the <strong>Round course from EDTY<\/strong> and use the <strong>Change of course<\/strong> to EDTX only on final approach. Deviating approaches and departures are only possible after consultation with \"Schw\u00e4bisch Hall Information\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Other regulations and notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to these specific regulations, the provisions already set out in the <strong>Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)<\/strong> published regulations that are binding for all pilots and aerodromes in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Entry into force<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new regulations for aerodrome traffic at the two Schw\u00e4bisch Hall aerodromes come into effect <strong>on the day of publication<\/strong>so on <strong>28 August 2024<\/strong>, came into force. This means that all operators and pilots are obliged to comply with these guidelines with immediate effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new joint regulation of airfield traffic for the two airfields Schw\u00e4bisch Hall Hessental (EDTY) and Schw\u00e4bisch Hall-Weckrieden (EDTX) is an important step towards making flight operations safer and more efficient. In particular, the focus is on coordination between the two airfields and the special regulations for gliding and parachuting operations. Pilots and operators are now required to observe and implement these new regulations in order to ensure smooth and safe air traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source references:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eisenschmidt.aero\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NFL (the link requires a subscription to Eisenschmidt)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New guidelines for airfield traffic at Schw\u00e4bisch Hall Hessental (EDTY) and Schw\u00e4bisch Hall-Weckrieden (EDTX) airfields were announced on 28 August 2024 with the publication of Nachrichten f\u00fcr Luftfahrer (NfL) 2024-1-3178.
