2.0 AERODROME REPORTING
2.1 Purpose

The aim of these procedures is to advise the regular users and any RPT operators of any
changes in the physical condition of the airport and of new obstacles that may affect the
safety of aircraft operations. If the identified fault can’t be remedied before the next aircraft
operations, then the matter must be reported to the NOTAM office.

2.2 Responsibilities

The Airport Reporting Officer has overall responsibility for ensuring that procedures are
established and resources provided to report changes to aerodrome physical
characteristics, the OLS, or any other change that may affect the safety of aircraft
operations.

The Airside Reporting Officer is responsible for documenting reporting procedures and
for advising AIS of permanent changes to airport information and for implementing the
reporting procedures documented in this manual.

2.3 Legislation, Standards and Technical References

Regulation 5.5 requires operators to provide up to date information on airports and on


hazards to air navigation. It does this through the Aeronautical Information Publications
(AIP) and Notices to Airmen (NOTAM).

2.4 Reporting Procedures

Where a change in the aerodrome conditions requires a NOTAM to be issued (For


NOTAM Form Refer to Appendix H), The Airport Reporting Officer must send the
notification to the NOTAM office (NOF) by Fax or by telephone. Telephone advice must
be confirmed on writing as soon as possible

The NOTAM must supply the following information


 The aerodrome name
 The purpose of the report i.e. New information; canceling previous advice;
reviewing or extending) the period of the previous advice
 The period of validity (How long does the NOTAM apply)
 The NOTAM’s daily duration (What times of the day does the NOATM apply)
 The text of the NOTAM (What information is the NOTAM to advise)
 The aerodrome contact details (Who is the originator of the NOTAM and how they
can be contacted, Phone or Fax)

All NOTAM action is recorded in the NOTAM Logbook (Refer to Appendix I) that is
maintained by the Airport Reporting Officer. This logbook will be made available on
request by authorized CAA officers for audit (For NOTAM Abbreviations Refer to
Appendix J).

June 2018 Page 39


2.5 NOTAM

NOTAM are used to advise pilots and other persons concerned with flying operations
about matters of an urgent nature that may affect the safety of aircraft operations. In
relation to an airport this includes temporary changes in published information,
unserviceability’s, or newly detected obstacles.

NOTAM will be originated in the standard NOTAM format for any of the following
circumstances;

 Changes (temporary or permanent) in the published aerodrome information


including additional changes to current permanent NOTAMs
 Aerodrome works affecting runways or the obstacle limitation surfaces, including
time limited works that require more than 10 minutes to re-instate to serviceable
order
 Unserviceable portions of the runway or failure in aerodrome lighting or obstacle
lighting
 Temporary obstacle to aerodrome operations
 A significant increase in, or concentration of birds or animals on or in the vicinity of
the aerodrome
 Changes in excess of 0.05% of the published gradient data
 Emergence of new obstacles
 When radio navigation aid or landing aid owned by aerodrome is unserviceable
or returned to order
 Any other significant event which affects the safety of aircraft using the aerodrome.

Reporting Officers raising a NOTAM must subsequently check the issued NOTAM for
accuracy. Normally this is done when the NOF fax or email back a copy of the issued
NOTAM as per the request on the standard NOTAM form. If the NOF fail to do this,
current NOTAM information may be obtained through the ATC system.

 Foodstuffs and other industrial waste which is attractive to birds to be transferred to


garbage dumps off the aerodrome.

 Reduction of ponded water, Where possible.

 Restrictions will be implemented on new development work around the aerodrome to


provide an environment not conducive to birds and animals.

Birds and animals which are considered to be a safety hazard to aircraft will be removed
by culling, trapping or other means.

10.0 OBSTACLE CONTROL

10.1 INTRODUCTION

Procedures to regulate building and other structure heights in the vicinity of the
aerodrome are performed in accordance with MOS 139 Chapter 7.

10.2 PROCEDURE

The Shire of MANJIMUP incorporates in its building approval procedures, consideration


of the aerodrome's obstacle limitation surface.

Requests for erection of new structures which may affect the OLSs associated with
existing or proposed aerodrome facilities are to be directed to the Airport Reporting
Officer, who will approve a maximum top R.L. for the structure. This is determined by
reference to the OLS and by applying principles detailed in the MOS 139 Chapter 7.

The CASA may specify lighting/marking requirements as necessary, and will advise the
Airport Reporting Officer on consequences associated with the approval of structures
which will penetrate the OLSs associated with the aerodrome.

Under CAR 89X the responsible officers will notify the authority immediately if he/she
discovers an obstacle, and will give the authority details of that obstacle.

The responsible officer will take all reasonable measures to detect the obstacles as
quickly as possible. The obstacle limitation surfaces will be visually scanned on a daily
basis as part of the normal serviceability inspections.

Under CAR 89Y, the Shire will ensure that all possible measures are taken to ensure that
persons who propose to erect a building or structure, the top of which will be 110m or
more above ground level, must inform the authority of that intention and the proposed
height and location of the building or structure.

11.0 DISABLED AIRCRAFT REMOVAL
11.1
RESPONSIBILITY

The owner of the disabled aircraft is responsible for its removal.

A.T.S.B. or CASA will provide owner details.

Arrangements for the removal of the disabled aircraft are to be approved by the Airport
Reporting Officer.

If the owner cannot be contacted, the Airport Reporting Officer will authorise the removal
of the aircraft if it is in some way infringing operations. A.T.S.B. will be advised of this
action in advance.

A responsible officer will seek the assistance of the CASA regarding the removal of a
disabled aircraft. Under Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 293, in the opinion of the CASA
if it is necessary, in the interests of safety or to expedite or maintain the orderly flow of air
traffic, to remove an aircraft from any part of the aerodrome, or to move an aircraft from
one part of the movement area of the aerodrome to another, the CASA may authorise a
person with such assistance as is required to remove or move the aircraft, and the officer
shall remove or move the aircraft accordingly.

Under the same regulation the CASA, or the person who assists in the removal of the
aircraft under CAR 293, shall not be liable for any damage which occurs to the aircraft by
reasons of this removal in pursuance of the authorisation given under the regulation.

The Airport Reporting Officer can obtain earthmoving type equipment and cranes from
the Shire.

11.2 A.T.S.B. ARRANGEMENTS

Aerodrome staff will co-operate With A.T.S.B. if an investigation is deemed necessary.

Aircraft removal action will not be commenced until approved by A.T.S.B.

Refer to Aircraft Accidents and Incidents in this manual for A.T.S.B. liaison arrangements.

12.0 HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
12.1 INTRODUCTION

No hazardous or flammable materials are stored or handled at the MANJIMUP


aerodrome, other than aviation fuel. The aircraft operators have their own responsibilities
under the CAR for the handling and transport of hazardous materials.

The fuel storage areas are maintained by the fuel companies to the relevant Australian
Standards. See the aerodrome plan (Air Transport Emergencies Plan, Appendix B Page
28 in this manual) for their location.

The most relevant Australian Standard is AS 1940; 2004 Storage and Handling of
Flammable and Combustible Liquids.

If the fuel is found to be stored in non-licensed areas (under AS 1940), then AS 1940
should be consulted for compliance

12.2 RECEIVAL AND DISPENSING

Fuels are received into storage by agents of the refuelling companies.

Fuels are then dispensed to aircraft in accordance with fuel company procedures and
CAO 29.9.

13.0 PROTECTION OF RADAR AND NAVAID INSTALLATIONS

13.1 INTRODUCTION

The Non-Directional Beacon previously in use at the Manjimup Aerodrome has been
decommissioned. The Manjimup Aerodrome now has an RNAV approach.

June 2018 Page 57


14.0 RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE CURRENTLY NOT APPLICABLE

REASON

Climatic and air traffic densities do not require RVR procedures.

MANJIMUP is uncontrolled and unmanned; therefore RVR procedures cannot be


implemented.
