9. Low Visibility Procedure (LVP)
General
- Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) will be implemented by TWR, and transmitted by ATIS, when visibility is below 2,800 meters.
- Follow-me service will be provided to aircraft to and from stands by TWR discretion OR pilot request. This service however will not be provided when visibility is less than 100 meters;
- Due to greater separation applied in Low Visibility conditions, expect delays in the approach and takeoff sequence.
- Pilots report
- Aircraft taking off shall report “rolling” when commencing takeoff run;
- Vacating aircraft shall report “runway vacated”;
- After takeoff aircraft shall report “airborne”, as soon as practicable;
- When parked, aircraft shall report “on stand”.
10. Take off from runway/taxiway intersections
Aircraft may depart from runway intersections, by TOWER approval. Ref. remaining distances as specified in table LLER AD 2.7-13.
11. Communication Failure Procedure
Communication failure
Procedures for IFR traffic:
Arriving aircraft:
- Set the transponder to Code 7600;
- Keep Transmitting (“Blind Transmission”) on the tower Frequency - 119.0 MHz or 122.00 MHz, or on 121.5 MHz.
- If Able, Contact the tower by Telephone (+972-8-955-3666) and inform the tower about your intentions.
- Approach clearance:
- If approach clearance already received:
- Complete the approach according to the clearance,
- Land upon receiving Green light from the tower.
- In case of red light received from the tower and/or flashing runway edge lights, perform a missed approach procedure And repeat the approach.
- If approach clearance was not received:
- Proceed to RAM VOR at the last assigned altitude, but not higher than 6 000 feet.
- Perform and complete 1 full Holding pattern.
- Complete an ILS approach to RWY 01
- Land after receiving green light from the tower.
- In case of red light received from the tower, and or flashing runway edge lights, perform a missed approach procedure and join the same approach again.
- If approach clearance already received:
Departing Aircraft:
- Set the transponder to Code 7600;
- If returning to land, perform the procedures detailed above for arriving aircraft.
- If not returning to land in the airport:
- Follow the SID with all applicable restrictions
- Thereafter, adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan.
- Keep Transmitting (“Blind Transmission”) on the TWR Frequency or on emergency frequency 121.5 MHz.
- Flights departing southbound shall fly northbound along AWY J10 via NURIT – ZFR. Turn LEFT Southbound over ZFR VOR, ALONG AWY J10, to Position NALSO. Cross NALSO at FL120, FL260 or FL290
- If Able, contact Eilat tower by telephone (+972-8-955-3666) and inform tower about your intentions.
Procedures for CVFR Flights
- Set the transponder to Code 7600;
- Keep Transmitting (“Blind Transmission”) on the tower Frequency - 119.0 MHz or 122.000 Mhz, or on 121.5 MHz.
- Turn on the landing lights.
- If Able, Contact the tower by Telephone (+972-8-955-3666) and inform the tower about your intentions.
- Fly over the tower and determine the Runway in Use, observing the traffic pattern and/or the wind direction indicator (“Wind Sac”).
- Traffic pattern (all traffic patterns are Western patterns):
- Runway 01 – standard pattern (Western Circuit Only).
- Runway 19 – Non-standard pattern (Western Circuit Only).
- Traffic pattern (all traffic patterns are Western patterns):
- Join the down-wind leg at altitude suitable for your aircraft category, considering the traffic in the vicinity of the aerodrome. Land after receiving green light from the tower In case of red light received from the tower, or flashing runway edge lights, join the down-wind leg again.

LLER AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Bird concentration and significant bird movement in the vicinity of the airport
1.1 Spring migration in the vicinity of airport:
Large flocks of birds migrate in the general direction of south to north. Soaring large bird species (white storks) migrate mainly during peak temperature hours of the day. During the spring season, the daily average of passing migrating birds is several thousands.
During day time migration concentrate in the middle of the Jordan Valley. Soaring birds also form three south-to-north routes above the runways and the two national highways in Israel and Jordan, taking advantage of thermals generated by them. Typical bird flight height ranges between 1,000 ft. AGL to 3,000 ft. AGL, averaging at 2,000 ft. AGL.
Species and dates (dates are approximated):
| Species | Dates (approximated) |
|---|---|
| White Stork and Black Stork | 20 FEB – 20 APR |
| Common Crane | 20 FEB – 20 APR |
| Steppe Eagle | 20 JAN – 1 APR |
| Common Buzzard | 20 FEB – 20 MAY |
| Honey Buzzard | 20 APR – 20 MAY |
| Levant Sparrowhawk | 20 APR – 10 MAY |
| Raptors | 15 MAR – 15 MAY |
| Great Cormorants | 15 MAR – 15 MAY |
| Cranes | 15 MAR – 15 MAY |
| Swallows | 15 MAR – 15 MAY |
| Swifts | 15 MAR – 15 MAY |
2. Autumn migration in the vicinity of airport:
Large flocks of birds migrate in the general direction of north to south. Soaring large bird species (white storks) migrate mainly during peak temperature hours of the day. Flocks of small birds, as well as larger species such as ducks, migrate during night time. During the autumn season, the daily average of passing migrating birds is several thousands.
During day time the migration concentrates in the middle of the Jordan Valley, and during the night it is more widespread. Typical bird flight height ranges between 1,000 ft. AGL to 3,000 ft. AGL, averaging at 2,000 ft. AGL.
| Species | Dates (approximated) |
|---|---|
| Common Crane | 10 OCT – 20 DEC |
| Steppe Eagle | 1 NOV – 20 DEC |
3. Winter migration in the vicinity of airport:
Flocks of winter migratory and resident bird species are present in the vicinity of the airport. Most of the large birds are waterfowl and other water birds that fly through the airport along Elifaz Reservoirs (north of the runways) to the sewage treatment ponds and the Salinas (south of the runways).
During winter season action will be taken to distance birds from vicinity of the airport.
During mid-Autumn to mid-Spring flocks of Great cormorants cross the airport area every day from south to north in the morning and back to roosting sites in the Red Sea at dusk.
Wintering and migrating raptor flocks use the date palm plantations in the area for night roosting.
Species and dates (approximated):
| Species | Dates (approximated) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Great Cormorants | 1 OCT – 20 MAR | Large flocks Their main roosts are at sea, or at the Aqaba Birding Center which is located 2 km east of the Eilat. Their average morning routine involves flying to their feeding sites at Eilat's sewage ponds, and at Eilat reservoir. Birds cross the air-space in low to medium height. |
| Imperial Eagles, Spotted Eagles, and Bonelli's Eagles | These eagles spend the winter in low numbers throughout the area and cross the air-space on a daily basis. |
4. Summer migration in the vicinity of airport
Species and dates (approximated):
| Species | Dates (approximated) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Flamingos | A flock of a few hundreds of flamingos stay through the season at the Salinas. | |
Sooty Falcons,
Barbary Falcons, and
Egyptian Vultures. | They are known to breed in the mountains surrounding Eilat. Their breeding season is between MAR 1st and OCT 15th and known to cross the airspace on a daily basis | |
| Pigeons, Collard Doves, and Palm Doves | Thousands of pigeons, collard doves and palm doves feed in the cattle quarantine adjacent to the sewage treatment ponds where they drink. |
