AIRSIDE SAFETY INSTRUCTION N0 01/2007:
ENGINE RUNS
RE ISSUE
ENGINE RUNS
RE ISSUE
TO: ALL OPERATORS AT COVENTRY AIRPORT
FROM: MIKE MORTON (OPERATIONS DIRECTOR)
Engine running is limited to idle power on the West and South Apron (Stands 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3a and 6a) for a maximum period of five minutes.
All other engine runs required to use greater power settings shall be conducted at:
• The new area identified as “engine run area” beyond the Charlie 1 hold for all aircraft.
Two designated markers are placed beyond Charlie 1 for guidance on aircraft nose wheel placement. Aircraft should be lined up parallel and in the direction of the runway in use. Details are shown in Appendix A.
Aircraft with a MTOW up to 5,700kg may be permitted by ATC to carry out engine running outside the Air Park building. Permission shall be requested before any engine running is carried out.
Under no circumstances shall any engine running be carried out inside any hangar or in the immediate vicinity outside a hanger.
The person responsible for conducting the ground running of an aero engine is to obtain authority from Air Traffic Control for the ground run.
An aircraft engineer or the aircraft pilot shall always be on board the aircraft monitoring the ATC Tower frequency in case it is necessary to move the aircraft or to stop the engines, and in order to ensure the prompt initiation of emergency procedures if required.
The aircraft anti-collision beacon(s) must be switched on before engine running is started and must remain on for the duration of the engine run.
Engine running must not take place when passengers are embarking/disembarking on any adjacent stands.
It shall be the responsibility of the engineer in charge to ensure that the area behind the aircraft is clear of persons, vehicles and equipment and that the ground is free from loose surface materials.
Engine testing shall not normally be permitted between 2300(l) and 0700(l). However, where an aircraft engineer/Pilot requires engine running which is deemed as operationally essential, defined, as any activity required enabling aircraft to operate in accordance with safety regulations they shall inform ATC and request permission.
All engine running outside permitted hours shall be recorded in the ATC Watch Log.
I thank you for your continued cooperation on important safety issues.
Kind regards
