AD 1.1.1 GENERAL CONDITIONS

The first inbound landing of an aircraft originating from any point in a foreign country, or an outbound aircraft taking off from the Republic of China(R.O.C) to another country, shall conduct such landing or takeoff at a designated international airport. A special approval granted by Ministry of Transportation and Communications(MOTC) or in case of an emergency may be an exception.
Unless in emergency, under air raid or being authorized, civil aircraft are not authorized to land at airport other than listed in AD 2 and AD 3.
Unless in emergency or being authorized, civil aircraft landed at airport other than international airport shall comply with the instruction of ATC or AD Administration.
When an aircraft operates in an airport designated as special by CAA, its owner or operator shall take heed of the special conditions in such airport and follow regulations thereof made by its state of registry.
Airport flight operation
1. On the following conditions, the airline company shall submit a CIVIL ACFT FLIGHT DELAY/ABORT/CANCEL REPORT to the flight operations section:
  1. Delayed departure for domestic scheduled flight;
  2. 30 minutes in excess of the estimated time for international scheduled flight;
  3. Cancellation of domestic and international scheduled flight;
  4. A civil aircraft returns to the airport after taking off in Taipei FIR.
2. The weather conditions applicable to flight testing shall be above the weather minimum for the airport.
If a foreign aircraft makes an emergency landing at any airport in the ROC due to unavoidable circumstances, the aircraft operator or agent shall provide a report to the airport authority regarding pertinent facts of the emergency. Only after the report has been received and reviewed by the appropriate airport authority will the aircraft be cleared to continue with the operation.
General procedures governing the start-up and push-back maneuver for civil aircraft in Taipei FIR
1. In order to facilitate aerodrome operations, the Civil Aviation Administration establishes procedures in accordance with the provision of Article 41 of Civil Aviation Law.
2. Unless other procedures have specifically been established, civil aircraft departing from a civil or military aerodrome shall abide by this procedure.
3. Aircraft shall not commence start-up, push back maneuver unless approved by ATC.
4. Aircraft are to call ATC five minutes prior to starting engines, stating their call sign, parking position and flight plan related information to request for start-up clearance.
5. When situations require the departing aircraft to hold for five minutes or more, ATC shall advise them of the start-up time or expected start-up time.
6. To facilitate ATC planning on aerodrome operations, aircraft shall be ready to push-back or taxi within five minutes after receiving start-up clearance; otherwise aircraft shall advise ATC and repeat the previous procedures.
7. To facilitate taxi operation, aircraft upon receiving push-back and taxi clearance, shall operate accordingly without delay; otherwise ATC may rearrange the departure sequence.
In order to achieve the maximum runway utilization, it is essential that landing and departing aircraft minimize runway occupancy.
1. Departing Aircraft
  1. The pilot of a departing aircraft must not accept a clearance to enter the runway unless the aircraft is ready to take-off.
  2. The pilot of a departing aircraft should ensure all cockpit checks are completed prior to lineup and any check required to be completed on the runway is done quickly. Pilots should ensure that they are able to commence the take-off roll as soon as clearance is issued.
  3. When cleared for "IMMEDIATE TAKE-OFF" on the taxiway, aircraft shall enter the runway and take-off without delay.
  4. Any pilot unable to comply with the above-mentioned requirements should notify ATC as soon as possible.
2. Arriving Aircraft
  1. Pilots of an arriving aircraft must keep the preceding aircraft in sight all the time as instructions.
  2. Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, pilot should follow the speed control in AIP chart.
  3. Do not stop or reduce speed to less than required taxi speed prior to vacating the runway completely.
  4. Vacate the runway expeditiously to achieve maximum runway utilization and minimize the risk of 'go-arounds'.
The aerodrome authority may have the priority while assessing runway conditions (GRF/RCR) and dispersing hazardous wildlife, and the traffic concerned may be delayed.

AD 1.1.2 APPLICABLE ICAO DOCUMENTS

The Standards and Recommended Practices of ICAO Annex 14 are applied. The differences are given in subsection GEN 1.7.

AD 1.1.3 REGULATIONS CONCERNING CIVIL USE OF MILITARY AIR BASES

Please refer to each airport's regulations in AD 2.

AD 1.1.4 APPLICATION OF ANTICIPATING SEPARATION

A take-off clearance may be issued to the pilot of a departing aircraft if there is reasonable assurance the required separation will exist when the departing aircraft commences take-off roll.
An aerodrome controller may issue a landing clearance to the pilot of an aircraft on final approach when it is obvious that a preceding landing or departing aircraft will be clear of the runway before the approaching aircraft crosses the threshold.
Example:
1. "(call sign), Runway One Zero, cleared to land, number two following the Airbus three three zero two mile on final. Traffic will depart prior to your arrival"
2. "(call sign) , Runway Zero-Five left, cleared to land. Traffic will depart prior to your arrival."

AD 1.1.5 APPROVAL FOR CAT II OPERATIONS

Operators, who wish to conduct ILS CAT II operations at the Taipei/Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, shall obtain an approval, by submitting a copy of the CAT II certification issued by their own regulatory authority, from the Civil Aviation Administration. Fax Number: 886-2-23496071.

AD 1.1.6 SURVEY OF RUNWAY FRICTION

The airports in Taipei FIR have been already performed periodically runway pavement surface friction (skid-resistance) survey with related information as follows.

Equipment
The runway surface friction survey should be conducted using any of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommended list of continuous friction measuring equipment (CFME) devices.
Grip Tester manufactured by Findlay Irvine Ltd. for friction survey is performed at two speeds: 65KMH and 95KMH. Both speeds are used in most aerodromes while 65KMH is used in some aerodromes.
Measurement and Reporting
The whole runway length needs to be divided into three thirds of equal length to be measured. The mean friction coefficients at both sides of the runway center line of the three third sections must be reported. In addition to that, the mean friction coefficient of any 100M segment at both sides of the runway center line must also be reported. The mean coefficient of the 100M segment can be used for the pavement maintenance purpose by the maintenance section of the airport authority.
If any of the mean coefficient of the three third section fall below the minimum friction level (0.43 or 0.24) of Table 1, corrective maintenance action must be taken without delay by the airport and a NOTAM shall be issued advising that the "runway may be slippery when wet" until the friction is improved.

Other information:
Whenever water or other contaminant are present on an operational runway, a change in the runway surface condition used in the runway condition report is considered significant, or receiving alerting pilot report of runway braking action, a runway condition report (RCR) should be made available for the Tower. Air traffic services (ATS) provide the information received via the RCR to end users through radio, ATIS etc., and received special air-reports. Taipei FIR belongs to non-winter condition area; according to ICAO DOC.9981, the RCAM as followed, shows runway condition codes (RWYCC) might be reported and the correlation of pilot reports of runway braking action with RWYCCs,

AD 1.1.7 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURE

All aircraft operating in Taipei FIR should follow either Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 1 (NADP 1) or Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 2 (NADP 2) developed by ICAO for the take-off, climb to ensure that the necessary safety of flight operation is maintained whilst minimizing exposure to noise on the ground.
Full details of NADP 1 and NADP 2 are contained in ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Aircraft Operations. Volume 1-Flight Procedures (PANS-OPS, Doc 8168 Volume 1).
