Local regulations

IFR clearance

At first contact with Clearance Delivery state type of aircraft, stand position and latest received ATIS transmission including identification letter and QNH.

If a runway other than the runway-in-use is required for performance reasons this request shall be made in connection with the request for IFR clearance.

If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID inform ATC when requesting clearance. Expect to be assigned a SID and to follow special instructions given in the SID charts.

When runway 08 is in use for departure, be alert to the direction of turn, and read this back to ATC.

Note that unless otherwise instructed, aircraft cleared via SID shall climb to 5000 ft. This altitude is not included in the clearance, because it is stated in the SID charts.

Between 07 and 22 local time, low speed aircraft (this includes most propeller driven aircraft except some fast aircraft such as Saab 2000 and Dash 8-Q400, and some noisy aircraft such as Lockheed C-130 and HS-748) are normally cleared via radar vectoring with initial climb clearance to 3000 ft instead of SID.

Push-back

Push-back is generally required for all jet aircraft, unless parked at Ramp R stand R9C, Ramp G stand G149 or Ramp S stand S71-S79. Request push-back from Ground, stating your stand number.

Taxi

Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, the standard taxi routes for arrival and departure shall be followed.
Note: Taxi clearances will not include the complete taxi route, as pilots are expected to follow the standard taxi routes. When RWY 01R/19L is in use, pilots will be instructed to use TWY W or U.

Take-off and climb

Contact Stockholm Control when instructed by TWR.
On initial contact with Stockholm Control report altitude to verify transponder Mode C readout.

If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform Stockholm Control on initial contact using the phraseology "unable RNAV SID."

STAR

Observe the maximum flight levels at the TMA entry points. Plan your descent into Stockholm TMA according to the level restrictions depicted on the STAR charts.

Basic CDA RNAV STARs are available. Inform ATC if you would like to fly these procedures, but note that they are only used in low traffic conditions.

Speed restrictions

Maximum speed in Stockholm TMA below FL100 is 250 knots, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

Aircraft shall maintain minimum 160 knots until OM or 4 NM final or advise ATC if unable.

Noise abatement procedures

Visual approach is normally not permitted.

Helicopters

TWR instructs helicopters to land and take off along TWY X.

Other information

The taxiways connecting to runways have recently changed names from alpabetic to alphanumeric (e.g. YJ has become Y9). ATC will use the new designators. Check your charts extra carefully if your scenery is not updated.
