37.  Local aerodrome regulations

Procedures relating to flights Only aircraft whose commander has requested and received permission from the operator to use the airport by e-mail or telephone may use the airport, except for members of the association.
The coordination of daily operations is organised on a day-to-day basis by the responsible manager or his deputy, depending on the weather, traffic and flight operations.
Departing and arriving aircraft: Motorised aircraft may take off and land primarily on the designated grass runway (16-34). For glider towing, both the runway and the operational field may be used for take-off and landing.
Non-engined aircraft (paragliders, hang gliders, gliders, hot air balloons) may also use the area designated by the flight manager within the operational field for take-off and landing.
Powered aircraft should normally use the West traffic circle, unpowered aircraft should normally use the East traffic circle, but may deviate from this based on daily coordination by the flight operations manager (e.g., variable tow airspace, etc.)
Traffic circle altitude is 1500 feet AMSL for powered fixed-wing aircraft. For unpowered aircraft and aircraft not equipped with an engine, the traffic circle altitude is progressively reduced from the time of release, as appropriate.
When leaving the traffic circle of Tapolca, powered aircraft which have filed a flight plan must report to the NYUGAT SUPPORT radio on 125.500 MHz. Powered aircraft engaged on local flights, if equipped with radio equipment, shall announce their intention to taxi, take-off or land and shall be continuously monitored on the airport frequency throughout their flights. Aircraft not equipped with radio equipment (paragliders, hang gliders, gliders, etc.) must fly in accordance with the SERA rules and ensure separation from other aircraft.
Local movement aircraft: In the case of an organised operation: aircraft may move around the airport area, as advised by the flight operations manager, taking into account air and ground traffic, in particular aircraft taking off and landing.
In the case of individual flights, local movements may be made without disturbing aircraft traffic and with due regard to it. After landing, taxiing on the runway may be done by turning around to taxi to the apron or hangars.
Aircraft may taxi at a maximum speed of 20 km/h.
Aircraft may be towed at a maximum speed of 5km/h (walking speed).
Aircraft may be parked or parked in a place designated by the flight operator.
Aircraft may be powered by the pilot in the manner specified in the operating instructions and at a place designated by the flight manager.
The airport is located in a NATURA 2000 area, with increased wildlife presence.

38.  Noise abatement procedures

The following local regulations apply at the airport in order to reduce noise pollution in the surrounding settlements:
Motorised aircraft may taxi on base gas, but at a minimum power level sufficient to move the aircraft. Engine tests on powered aircraft may be conducted with the nose of the aircraft facing buildings.
Powered aircraft shall avoid residential areas during the flight of the circuit and during approach and departure, and powered aircraft shall not be permitted to fly over LHB14 environmental airspace below 1500 feet AMSL.
