ENR 1  General Rules and Procedures

ENR 1.5   HOLDING, APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The holding, approach and departure procedures in use are those based on criteria contained in ICAO Doc 8168, Vol. l, - Part II, III and IV.
The values and factors used in the holding and approach procedures are based on those contained in Doc 8168, Vol. ll, - Part II, III and IV.
ARRIVING FLIGHTS
IFR flights entering Banjul CTR for landing will normally be cleared by Dakar Control to FL 60 and to contact Banjul Approach Control for further clearance.
When in contact with Banjul APP these flights are positively to indicate that they are released by Dakar Control. After that Banjul APP will clear such flights to a specified holding point at a definite level. If the clearance limit is reached before further instructions have been received, holding procedures will be carried out at the level last authorized.
DEPARTING FLIGHTS
IFR flights departing from an aerodrome within the Banjul Control Zone will receive clearances from Banjul APP to the destination after coordination with Dakar Control or to a specified point as determined by Dakar Control. When such coordination cannot be established with Dakar Control, such flights will be cleared to the Banjul CTR boundary at FL 40 to contact Dakar Control for further clearance. Such clearances by Banjul APP are valid only to the clearance limits, which will be within the Banjul Control Zone.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR THE BANJUL CONTROL ZONE (see also ENR 1.14 Incident Reporting).
It is required that reports are made concerning incidents significant to air and ground safety.
Pilots and operators are therefore reminded of the importance of making extensive use of these reports even though their safety significance may seem only marginal.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS / RWY Lights Mirage Effect
Pilots are warned about the illusion while at the threshold of RWY 14. This mirage effect is caused by reflections of the RWY lights in a slope between the northern and the southern TWY.
Ignore the two inner rows converging toward the centerline of the four rows of light that can be seen.
This illusion is more obvious when the RWY is wet during night. Pilots must be very careful under such conditions.
