Page 17 - 5 - 11 1 June 2018

5.3 RUNWAY CHANGE PROCEDURES
5.3.1 The Watch Supervisor will monitor all available wind data, including airborne reports. Once
this data indicates that the trend of the forecast would necessitate a runway change or that
conditions are other than forecast and could necessitate a runway change, then the Watch
Supervisor will discuss a runway change proposal with the duty controller.
5.3.2 The Watch Supervisor and duty controller will then agree on the time to effect the runway
change. The time chosen shall have the minimum effect on safety of operations during the
change and should be effected before the downwind parameter that force a change is
reached. This is to proven (where possible) forced runway change with associated short-
term airspace structural instability.
5.3.3 The Watch Supervisor will advise AFRS regarding runway change.
5.3.4 The Watch Supervisor shall advise controller concerned to transmit to all aircraft within
Control Zone the duty runway change and for the circuit traffic to follow procedures laid
down. Refer para 5.9.19.
Page 17 - 5 - 12 1 June 2018

downwind component is within the operational limits of each particular operation.
5.4.3 ATC may grant the use of reciprocal runway operation but the flight may subject to delay
because of other traffic.

However, in the event of failures all controllers and ATC Supervisor must have knowledge
and should be able to take necessary actions in a most expeditious and safe manner until
full recovery from the failure is established. The procedures defined in this section provide
failure mode procedures for the most probable failure mode condition. There may be some
failure conditions or combination of failure conditions, which have not been identified. If
one of these conditions should arise, controllers should exercise initiative and independent
judgement based on their knowledge of the systems to evolve a failure mode work around.

6.2 WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION
Page 17 - 6 - 41 1 June 2018

6.3 WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION
a) Departing Aircraft
2 minutes – a LIGHT aircraft taking off behind a MEDIUM aircraft.
b) Intermediate Departure
3 minutes – a LIGHT aircraft taking off behind a MEDIUM aircraft from an

intermediate part of the same runway.
c) Arriving aircraft
3 minutes – a LIGHT aircraft landing behind a MEDIUM aircraft.
d) Displaced Landing Threshold
2 minutes - Departing LIGHT aircraft behind landing MEDIUM aircraft.
- Landing LIGHT aircraft follows behind departing MEDIUM aircraft.
e) Opposite Direction
2 minutes – When a heavier aircraft making a low/missed approach and LIGHT aircraft
is:
i) Utilising an opposite direction runway for take-off;
ii) Landing on the opposite direction.
6.3.1 WAIVER
a) Wake turbulence separation standards do not apply whenever a pilot of a departing

aircraft has advised ATC that they “ACCEPT WAIVER”. By use of this phrase the pilot
accepts full responsibility for wake turbulence separation.
b) A waiver of the appropriate wake turbulence separation standards shall be subject to

the following requirements:
i) The pilot shall expressly initiate the waiver;
ii) Waivers are applicable in VMC and by day only;
iii) A wake turbulence caution shall be issued with the take-off or landing clearance.
6.2.2 PHRASEOLOGY
Pilot: “c/s .... ready, accept waiver”
ATC: “c/s .... caution wake turbulence clear for take-off runway ....etc.”
Page 17 - 6 - 42 1 June 2018

7. METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
7.1 ROUTINE METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS
7.1.1 Routine weather reports (METAR) for WMKM are issued by Melaka MET Office hourly.
The report shall contain the information below:
a) Time of observation in UTC.
b) Surface wind – direction in degrees True and speed in knots
c) Visibility in metres when visibility is less than 5km, in kilometre if more than 5km
d) Present weather at the time of observation
e) Cloud ceiling and type.
f) Surface temperature in degrees Celsius.
g) QNH rounded down to the nearest whole hPa
7.1.2 Special Reports (SPECI)
Special reports (SPECI) are issued when improvements or deterioration to any of the
information given in a routine report occur and contain only those items that are affected.
7.2 ATIS PROCEDURE
7.2.1 The weather report obtained from MET Melaka will be broadcasted at an hourly basis.
7.2.2 A previous ATIS messages shall be updated immediately whenever a significant change
occurs and controllers shall directly pass such changes to pilot by radio until the new ATIS
message is transmitted.
7.2.3 Information to be broadcast:
a) Aerodrome name and message code;
b) Time of observation;
c) Type of approach to be expected;
d) Runway in use;
e) Significant runway surface condition (if any);
f) Other essential operation information;
Page 17 - 7 - 1 1 June 2018

g) Surface wind direction and speed;
h) Visibility, when applicable RVR;
i) Present weather;
j) Cloud below 5000 feet or below the highest safe altitude, whichever is greater,
cumulonimbus; if the sky is obscured, vertical visibility when available or CAVOK;
k) Air temperature;
l) Altimeter setting;
m) Available information on significant meteorological phenomena in the approach, take-

off and climbout areas, e.g windshear and
n) Specific ATIS instructions (e.g requiring pilots to acknowledge receipt of message,

current weather will be passed by ATC, etc
7.2.4 Controller shall refer to Automated Terminal Information System User and System Manual
for system operation. The manual is available at Control Tower.
7.3 RVR PROCEDURE
RVR is required throughout the period when official MET visibility is 1500 metres or less.
7.3.1 RVR OBSERVING TECHNIQUE - INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUE
7.3.1.1. This observing method shall be used all the time in providing latest wind speed and
direction to pilot.
7.3.1.2. The computer monitor located at the ATC console.
7.3.1.3. Web address to be use for the observing purpose is as stated below:
Website : http://218.111.75.26:8088/home.php
User ID : aws
Password : observe
7.3.1.4. Controllers shall give the wind speed and its direction to pilot together with landing or
touch and go clearance.
Page 17 - 7 - 2 1 June 2018

7.3.2 HUMAN OBSERVER TECHNIQUE
7.3.2.1. This method involves counting the number of runway edge lights that can be seen by an
observer from the touchdown zone of a runway.
7.3.2.2. The observation should be preferably be taken standing on a suitable vehicle to simulate
as far as practicable the cockpit height - usually 5 metres with the runway lights set at
maximum intensity.
7.3.2.3. The observer shall follow the ground movement coordination instructions and procedures
as stated in para 3.3 this manual.
