TXKF AD 2.15 OTHER LIGHTING, SECONDARY POWER SUPPLY
1. PILOT CONTROL OF AIRPORT LIGHTING
For PPR requirements refer to GEN 1.2 ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT.
Radio control of lighting is available daily during hours of non-tower operation from 2300 to 0700 LMT (0300 to 1100 UTC or 0200 to 1000 during Atlantic Daylight Savings Time). Pilot control of airport lighting operates on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) 122.800 MHz. IFR clearance is available from NY ARTCC on frequency 128.500 MHz.
The control system consists of a 3-step control responsive to 7, 5, and/or 3 microphone clicks. This 3-step control will turn on lighting facilities capable of 3-step, 2-step, or 1-step operation. All lighting is illuminated for a period of 15 min- utes from the most recent time of activation and may not be extinguished prior to the end of the 15-minute period.
Suggested use is to always initially key the micro- phone 7 times; this assures that all control lights are turned on to the maximum available intensity. If desired, adjustment can then be made to a lower intensity by keying 5 and/or 3 times. Even when lights are on, always key the microphone as directed when overflying the airport or just prior to entering the final segment of an approach. This will assure the aircraft is close enough to activate the system and a full 15 minutes lighting duration is available.

9. AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA DETERMINATION
9.1 The method of determining aerodrome operating minima (AOM) in Bermuda is that set out in the relevant operational Annex (see para 3) to EASA Ops (European Commission Regulation (EC) 965/2012). Therefore, all flight operations by aircraft within Bermuda airspace are to operate with AOM no lower than calculated using EASA Ops. This is the same method as used to calculate minima published on commercially available flight guides (subject to any additional increments applied by an operations manual).
These notified Aerodrome Operating Minima shall apply as follows:
- To aircraft registered in the Territory
- Foreign-registered aircraft operating in the Territory shall use minima not lower than those calculated according to the above method.
The use of Head-up guidance landing system (HUDLS) or Enhanced Vision System (EVS) may allow operations with lower visibilities than normally associated with the aerodrome operating minima, in accordance with EASA Ops, where the operator holds an appropriate approval only.
9.2 In addition, as a transitional measure, where PBN approaches are available within the Territory, the minima provided by the designer of the procedure shall be specified in the relevant part of the AlP for the individual aerodrome/approach.
9.3 The relevant operational Annexes to EASA Ops (European Commission Regulation (EC) 965/ 2012) are as follows:
- Commercial air transport operations: Annex IV 'Part- CAT;
- Non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft: Annex VI 'Part-NCC';
- Non-commercial operations with other-than complex motor-powered aircraft: Annex VII 'Part-NCO'.
10. STANDARD TAXI ROUTE PROCEDURES
10.1 Standard Taxi Routes (STR) have been developed to enhance ground control operations for aircraft traffic operating to/from aprons. The use of STR’s should allow pilots to preplan their taxi route before taxiing to or from the apron. STR’s do not supersede instructions issued by ATC, STR’s are meant to complement established ATC procedures and rules.
10.2 STR’s shall be used to describe routes, procedures and/or frequency information. All runway hold short/crossing instructions shall be transmitted in accordance with ICAO Doc. 4444 when the Tower is manned. Runway crossings during uncontrolled periods (2300hrs – 0700hrs) shall be conducted at the pilots discretion based on traffic and all intentions broadcasted on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency 122.800 MHz.

TXKF AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
1. INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT NOISE REQUIREMENTS
All aircraft operations at L. F. Wade International Airport (TXKF) are to comply with the environmental noise standards as detailed in Chapter 3 or 4 to ICAO Annex 16.
2. NOISE RESTRICTION ON APRON IV
Operation of Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit is limited to 45 min before scheduled take-off and shut down as soon as possible when aircraft is parking on Apron IV
TXKF AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1. TURBULENCE/WIND SHEAR
There is a potential for light to moderate turbulence and/or wind shear to be encountered by aircraft conducting approaches to Runway 12 and 30, when the wind direction originates from the northern quadrants, and is in excess of 15 knots at the surface. This turbulence is generally associated with nearby topography to the north.

TXKF AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. UNCONTROLLED HOURS EMERGENCY ARRIVALS
Radio control lighting is available only for Declared Emergencies, Search and Rescue, Medical Evacuation and Prior Permission Request (PPR) during uncontrolled hours from 2300 - 0700 local time.
2. WILDLIFE CONTROL SERVICE
Wildlife control services, including bird deterrent activities, are not provided during control tower non-operational hours.
3. AIRPORT CLOSURE
Any weather, infrastructure, operational or other condition that may not be conducive to safe flight operations including Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, extreme crosswinds and/or closure of the sole bridge link between the airport and mainland and resulting inaccessibility of emergency services may result in an airport closure to be made at the discretion of the Aerodrome Operator.
4. ATIS BROADCAST
The surface wind information contained in the ATIS broadcast at L.F. Wade International Airport is reported in degrees true; the current magnetic variation at Bermuda is 15°W (2021).
5. GLOBAL REPORTING FORMAT - RUNWAY CONDITION REPORTS (RCR)
Information relating to runway surface conditions shall be disseminated appropriately via ATIS and SNOWTAM. Air-Ground Voice Communications will also be carried out when necessary. Aircraft operators should utilize the information in conjunction with the performance data provided by the aircraft manufacturer to determine if landing or take-off operations can be conducted safely and provide runway braking action special air reports (AIREP) to ATC.
The SNOWTAM will be promulgated whenever RWYCC 2 is reported. The assessment and reporting of runway surface conditions continue until the runway is no longer contaminated. The RCR is communicated from the lowest runway designation number.
For information relating to the runway surface conditions during the hours the Bermuda Tower is unmanned (Daily 2300hrs – 0700hrs local time) aircraft should contact Cedar Aviation (Fixed Base Operator) on Frequency 131.6 MHz prior to arrival.
Further information regarding contamination type, contamination depth, and coverage shall be provided on request by the pilot. The information is communicated for each runway third in the direction of landing/take-off.
