3.18. VECTORING APPROACHES:
3.18.1. A Vectoring Approach is generally used to posi position
tion an aircraft onto final Approach or other
circuit positions, at appropriate circuit altitude and speed, for visual approach. A vectoring
approach may be used to position an IFR aircraft to a pilot
pilot-interpreted
interpreted approach aid.
3.18.2. Aircraft destined for Islama
Islamabad
bad International, Nur Khan airfield and Qasim base may
request vectoring for visual approaches, such approaches are generally requested in I.M.C.
Vectoring for such approaches will be terminated when aircraft will report field insight.
3.18.3. Islamabad Approach Controller shall utilize radar derived data to expedite arriving aircraft
by using minimum track distance and sequencing the arrivals. This will not only reduce the
fuel cost of the operators but also result in reducing the pollution and thus will provide
better environment.
3.18.4. After establishing positive Radar contact, Islamabad Approach will position the aircraft on
the extended centre line of the runway in use, at least 7NM from the runway 28L/R
threshold at a altitude of 3700 feet AMSL.
3.18.5. For Rwy 10R aircraft shall be vectored via right base 10R and be established at 7 NM from
Threshold at 3700 feet, further descend as per descend profile on glide slope.
3.19. ARRIVALS ON RUNWAY 10R AT ISLAMABAD:
3.19.1. For Rwy 10R aircraft shall be vectored via right base 10R and be established on ILS
Runway 10R at 7 NM from Threshold at 3700 feet, further descend as per descend profile
on glide slop.
3.19.2. While vectoring for Runway 10R using right hand circuit, aircraft should not transgress
through localizer.
3.19.3. Vectoring off aircraft for ILS Runway 10R through Left hand circuit is not permitted.
permitted
3.20. VISUAL APPROACHES:
3.20.1. The visual approach shall be subject to the following conditions:
3.20.1.1 Pilot reports that approach can be completed by maintaining visual reference to
terrain while ca
carrying an instrument approach.
3.20.1.2 Clearance for visual approach to an aircraft vectored for visual approach shall be
issued when aircraft reports aerodrome insight or the preceding landing aircraft
insight.
3.20.1.3 Weather conditions, the reported ceiling is not bel
below
ow the vectoring altitude and
the visibility permits the visual approach and reasonable assurance exists that the
landing will be accomplished visually.

other pilot interpreted approaches, and is responsible for maintaining minimum separation
between aircrafts, on final approach. The Approach Controller shall observe/monitor
approaches in their entire phase, even after transferring the control of aircraircraft to the
aerodrome control.
3.22. SPEED ADJUSTMENT:
3.22.1. To avoid excessive vectoring in sequencing of arrivals and to achieve a safe and expeditious
flow of air traffic, pilots may be requested to adjust aircraft speed in accordance with the
procedures outlined in relevant documents.
3.22.2. All speed adjustment requests shall be expressed in terms of knots and shall be predicted on
Indicated Air Speed (IAS).
3.22.3. Controllers should avoid speed adjustment requests which require alternate decreases and
increases of speed. Controllers
Controllers should also avoid specifying
“MINIMUM SPEED WHEN A HIGHER SPEED WILL SUFFICE.”
3.22.4. Speed adjustment is not a substitute for good vectoring technique and therefore should be
applied only when necessary.
3.22.5. Controllers may request a pilot to reduce or mainta
maintain
in a specified speed or to increase or
decrease speed by specified amounts utilising increments of ten knots or multiples thereof.
3.22.6. Unless prior concurrence of pilot in the use of a lower speed is obtained, speed adjustment
requests for an arriving aircraft to maintain a specified speed shall be made in accordance
with the minima’s given bellow in the table :

sometimes be impractical since some aircraft in this category cruise at lower speed and
cannot attain the speed specified
3.22.8. When the Controller determines that the application of speed adjustment is no longer
required, he shall so inform the pilot concerned by advising the aircraft to resume normal
speed.

5.35.1. RESPONSIBILITY:
5.35.1.1. When the weather conditions are likely to deteriorate to an extent where diversion
diversio
of Air Traffic is likely to occur, the Area Procedure Controller shall be responsible
for obtaining current meteorological reports and forecasts for major airports
located within Islamabad, Lahore &Karachi and adjacent Flight Information
Regions, if applicable.
appl If practicable, forecast for en-route
route stage of flight should
also be kept readily available.
5.35.1.2. All ATS units shall emphasise the need to know the occurrence or expected
occurrence of weather deterioration well in advance in order to allow sufficient
time to the pilot to decide his course of action keeping in view the available fuel on
board. In margina
marginall visibility/ceiling conditions, the pilot may attempt to execute
approach or missed approach before diverting to their flight plan alternate
destinations.
5.35.2. PROCEDURES:
5.35.2.1. Upon receipt of information from Met Office or from the Aerodrome Controller on
the existing
ting or expected weather conditions, Area /Approach Controller shall
inform the flights operating in their area of jurisdiction.
5.35.2.2. The Area Procedure Controller shall obtain current weather from alternate airports
located in LAH ACC AOR/Islamabad ACC and adj adjacent
acent Flight Information
Regions and keep with him readily available all the pertinent route forecast.
5.35.2.3. The Approach Controller while transmitting the current or expected weather to the
pilot shall ascertain the fuel endurance on board the aircraft while it is overhead
IIAP and is likely to commence approach for a landing/missed approach. In the
event an aircraft after making an instrument approach is unable to land or execute
missed approach, the intentions of pilot
pilot-in-command
command shall be obtained whether he
would
ould liketo hold over the fix till improvement of the weather condition or will
make further attempt or would divert to his alternate. In the event a flight has
decided to divert, special care shall be given to ensure that the flight is cleared to
its desired
red cruising level with minimum of restrictions for holding the flight at
lower altitude.
5.35.2.4. Flights diverting to alternate aerodromes after executing instrument/missed
approach procedures and holding over the approach fix are considered to be critical
on fuell endurance. Due care shall be given to ensure that the pilot of such a
diverting flight is able to land at his alternate aerodrome without any compromise
on fuel situation on board.
