Low Visibility Procedures Applicable to ILS CAT II operations at Bahrain International Airport
All Air operators may conduct Low Visibility Operations (take-off, CAT II approaches and landings) if they are legally authorized-approved by their own aeronautical authority of the state of registration. Aerodrome Information concerning surface wind and RVR is immediately provided by ATC and significant changes will be reported in accordance with the provisions of PANS - ATM (DOC 4444). LVP operations for arrivals and departures are limited to the main runway at Bahrain International Airport:
RWY 30R ILS CAT II
RWY 12L ILS CAT II
Any changes in the operational status or the facilities will be promulgated by NOTAM and/or pilots will be advised accordingly by ATIS or on initial contact with ATC.
Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) shall be declared at Bahrain International Airport whenever the RVR reading is 1000M or less, or whenever conditions are such that all of the maneuvering area is not visible from the control tower. The procedures will ensure protection of the ILS sensitive and critical areas to ILS CAT II limits, provide an effective surface movement guidance and control system, and ensure a safe CAT II operations environment. LVP procedures will not normally be introduced for aircraft carrying out practice CAT II approaches.

2.23.1 Minimization of time of the RUNWAY
A number of recent incidents have led to a reduction in the minimum requirement for runway separation between arriving and departing aircraft. The factors causing these incidents have been found to be:
Arriving aircraft delay to vacate the runway after landing and / or stop before the entire aircraft has vacated the runway.
Departing aircraft, having reported “ready” and been cleared for takeoff, delay on the runway before commencing takeoff roll.
Factors ATC considers:
IFR separation on final approach course may reduce to 3NM. This reduced separation minima enhances airspace efficiency and runway utilization.
For the purposes of issuing a takeoff or landing clearance to subsequent aircraft, a preceding aircraft is not considered to be clear of the runway until the arriving aircraft is completely clear of the runway or the departing is airborne.
in the order to achieve the maximum runway utilization, it is essential that landing aircraft vacate the runway without delay; and that the departing aircraft, once cleared for takeoff, commence takeoff roll without delay.
in the event of arriving or departing aircraft delaying on the runway, it may become necessary for the subsequent departing aircraft’s takeoff clearance to be delayed; or for the subsequent arriving aircraft to be instructed to go around. Incidents of this nature have serious safety implication for all operators.
Pilots are, therefore, reminded of their responsibilities.
Arriving Aircraft
Plan their runway exit point prior to landing, it is preferred that aircraft landing Runway 12L vacate via taxiway A6, A7 or before; and that aircraft landing Runway 30R vacate via taxiway ’A4’ or before. Advise ATC as soon as practicable if unable to exit the runway as instructed.
Do not stop or reduce speed to less than required taxi speed prior to vacating the Runway completely.
Vacate the Runway expeditiously.
Departing Aircraft
Report “ready” only when ready for immediate takeoff.
Once cleared for takeoff, commence takeoff roll with minimum delay.
All departing aircraft contact BAHRAIN DELIVERY on 121.900 MHZ for IFR enroute clearance or VFR departure instructions.
