===Taxi Instructions===
 
The easiest way giving taxi instructions to aircraft is to:<br>
 
Taxi outgoing aircraft on taxiway MIKE (former OSCAR) ASAP.
 
Taxi incoming aircraft on taxiway LIMA (former INDIA) ASAP.
 
In this way, collision of aircraft should be avoided. Incoming aircraft on runway 16/34 vacating via B3 to B10 should use taxiway DELTA and LIMA (former INDIA).<br>
 
In case of a landing on runway 29 no aircraft is allowed to be in the extended runway centreline of runway 29 while landing aircraft is passing above. In this case aircraft should hold at ROMEO, FOXTROTT, SIERRA and GOLF and wait until the incoming aircraft touched down.<br>
 
You can also advise aircraft to follow behind another aircraft or give way to other taxiing aircraft.<br>
 
Austrian 125, follow Airbus 320 to holding-point runway 29
 
Austrian 125, give way to taxiing Airbus 320 passing from left to right
 
When an aircraft is approaching its assigned holding-point (and clear of possible traffic-conflict) a hand-off to next higher position (i.e. TWR) shall be initiated as soon as possible.<br>

LOWW (Wien Schwechat)

Possible Runway Configurations

The runway utilization concept for LOWW is based on the fact that the airport layout with it's crossing runways normally does not allow simultaneous approaches to both runways. So, whenever possible, runways 11/29 and 16/34 will be used independently to allow departures on one runway (normally 16 or 29) while using the other runway for landing aircraft.

Possible runway configurations are:

  • ARR RWY 11 / DEP RWY 16 >>> SE winds, if no simultaneous approach possible
  • ARR RWY 34 / DEP RWY 29 >>> calm/NW winds
  • ARR RWY 16 / DEP RWY 29 >>> calm/SW winds
  • ARR RWY 11/16sim. / DEP RWY 16 >>> calm/SE winds, simultaneous approach possible

Simultaneous approaches to runways 11 and 16 are conducted only at tower's discretion during certain weather conditions (visual reduction of separation). Aircrews are advised to show landing lights as soon as possible.
In case of technical uncertainties during final approach - that might be possible lead to a missed approach - aircrews are asked to inform ATC immediately.

All Weather Operations (AWO)

With Low Visibility Procedures in operation, standard approach runway will be runway 16. Arrivals will be vectored out of the holdings into the left hand circuit for runway 16. Approximate track distance from the holdings to touchdown shall be calculated with 40 to 70 nautical miles. Runway 29 is also equipped with a CAT IIIb ILS.

Taxi Instructions

The easiest way giving taxi instructions to aircraft is to:

  • Taxi outgoing aircraft on taxiway MIKE (former OSCAR) ASAP.
  • Taxi incoming aircraft on taxiway LIMA (former INDIA) ASAP.

In this way, collision of aircraft should be avoided. Incoming aircraft on runway 16/34 vacating via B3 to B10 should use taxiway DELTA and LIMA (former INDIA).
In case of a landing on runway 29 no aircraft is allowed to be in the extended runway centreline of runway 29 while landing aircraft is passing above. In this case aircraft should hold at ROMEO, FOXTROTT, SIERRA and GOLF and wait until the incoming aircraft touched down.

Intersection take-off

Intersection takeoffs can be granted by GND in coordination with TWR and in accordance or on pilot’s request.

VFR Traffic

VFR traffic can enter/leave the control zone (CTR) via sector SIERRA (to the south), sector ECHO (to the east) and along the Danube river on the route Klosterneuburg – Freudenau. Maximum altitude in these sectors is 1500ft or according to the VFR charts published online at www.vacc-sag.org.

APP Airspace

LOWW is located very close to the Austrian state boundaries with Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republik and space within the TMA (Terminal Maneuvering Area) is very limited. Arrivals are being transferred to LOWW_APP by five independently working ACC sectors (LKAA/ACC Praha, LZBB/ACC Bratislava, LHCC/ACC Budapest, ACC Wien South, ACC Wien North). Therefore final decisions on the arrival sequence are normally made at a distance of approximately 40 NM from touchdown.

LOWW_APP itself operates up to four different sectors, depending on the amount of traffic. Two Upper Radar sectors specify the arrival sequence for the Lower Sectors. Upper Sectors are operated between FL240 and FL110.

The Lower Radar (FL100 and below) will then make final decisions on the arrival sequence by transferring arriving aircraft to the Director, who issues vectors onto the final approach track and sets up a safe flow of landing traffic. Unless otherwise instructed, initial contact on Director frequency (normally 119.800) shall be made by stating the callsign only in order to reduce frequency load.

When the appropriate spacing is assured until touchdown, Director will transfer the arriving aircraft to Tower.

For high traffic procedures refer to LOWW - High Traffic Procedures

Visual Approches

Approaches using "Own Separation". Visual Approaches will be issued whenever the traffic situation permits. Due to several noise sensitive areas in the vicinity of Vienna Airport, LOWW_APP has to impose certain restrictions on visual approaches:

  • NO visual or short approaches will be issued in the right-hand circuit for runway 16 and in the left-hand circuit for runway 11 (City of Vienna).
  • Aircraft instructed to "maintain own separation" during final approach are expected to maintain a safe and efficient separation (normally less than 2,5 NM) to the preceding landing aircraft.
