Intersection Departures
Perhaps a self-evident question but here goes; quoting from Doc 7030 (EUR):
"6.5.2 Intersection take-off
6.5.2.1 An aircraft may be cleared to depart from a published intersection take-off position upon request of the pilot,or if initiated by ATC and accepted by the pilot, provided that all of the conditions of 6.5.2.2 to 6.5.2.5 are met.
6.5.2.2 The reduced runway declared distances for each published intersection take-off position shall consist of the following:
a) reduced take-off run available (reduced TORA);
b) reduced take-off distance available (reduced TODA); and
c) reduced accelerate-stop distance available (reduced ASDA).
6.5.2.3 The reference point from which the reduced runway declared distances for a published intersection take-off position are measured shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions in the Air Navigation Plan — European Region, Volume II — FASID (Doc 7754), Part III — AOP.
6.5.2.4 Reduced runway declared distances for an intersection take-off position shall be published in the relevant AIP, clearly distinguishable from full runway declared distances.
6.5.2.5 Signs shall be in accordance with Annex 14, Volume I."
Clearcut. But...does anyone know if a way exists to avoid sending e.g. an ultralight down the other side of a 10,000ft runway WITHOUT having published Intersection take-off positions or reduced distances? Not that I really mind having them taxi all way down, but still...They're even trying to save on tires' wear...
