From 22 April 2007 noise abatement procedures for Kaunas International Airport should be applied in accordance to Regulations on the Limitation of the Operation of Civil Subsonic Jet Aeroplanes at the Airports of the Republic of Lithuania approved by Order No. 3-96/D1-171 issued on 23 March 2007 by the Minister of Transport and Communications and the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania.
These regulations establish limitation of operation of civil subsonic jet aeroplanes (hereinafter – aeroplanes) to and from the airports of the Republic of Lithuania.

1 General
All flights within Kaunas TMA and Kaunas CTR shall be conducted in accordance with FPL.
2 IFR Arrival
| Note. | DME/DME back-up is not available in Kaunas TMA. |
- to fly STAR as published by using Continuous Descent Approach phraseology “DESCEND VIA XXXXX XX ARRIVAL” (a “descend via” clearance is an instruction to the pilot to descend in a manner that complies with the published lateral flight path, FL/Altitudes, and speeds);
- to fly STAR when FL/Altitude assignments are issued by ATC.
3 IFR Departure
- to advise parking position;
- to confirm ATIS information and read back its QNH;
- to obtain clearance for start up of engines;
- to report the intention to carry out a de-icing of aircraft before departure;
- to obtain ATC clearance.
| Note. | DME/DME back-up is not available in Kaunas TMA. |
For aircraft departing from RWY 26 and unable to achieve SID – turn must not be commenced before 2200 FT MSL. When EYTSA2 is activated, ATC clearance may contain 5000 FT MSL. After reaching 2200 or 5000 FT MSL make turn to intercept appropriate VOR radial and proceed to REP, or as given other ATC clearance.
When departing from RWY 08/26 climb straight ahead with PDG 6.6% (400 FT/NM) to turning altitude 700 FT MSL. Continue climb to appropriate MSA.
- Preparation for LVP shall be commenced, when RVR is equal to or less than 800 M and/or the cloud ceiling is equal to or lower than 300 FT with a tendency to decrease.
- LVP shall be commenced, when RVR is less than 600 M or the cloud ceiling is lower than 200 FT.
- Application of LVP will be terminated when RVR is 600 M or more and the cloud ceiling is higher than 200 FT with a tendency to increase.
A message on LVP being in effect “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN FORCE” will be passed via ATIS or radio communication.
- When RVR is lower than 600 M but not less than 450 M, the follow-me service will be provided upon the flight crew’s request only.
- When RVR is less than 450 M the follow-me service is mandatory.
- If pilots request a taxi clearance for departure with RVR being less than 450 M they shall indicate the number of the parking area and report on watching the follow-me car ready to service them.
- The follow-me car will guide the aircraft from the parking area to intersection of the apron with the taxiway A or B.
- Arriving aircraft, when radar vectoring is applied, will be vectored to ILS sector at a distance not less than 10 NM from RWY touchdown zone.
- The ILS localizer sensitive area will be protected when an ILS landing aircraft is within 2 NM from touchdown.
- After having vacated the runway, a pilot must report “RUNWAY VACATED”.
- only one aircraft can be present on the maneuvering area of an aerodrome, when necessary, accompanied by aircraft follow-me vehicle, and, in case of emergency, by emergency vehicles proceeding to the assistance of the aircraft in distress;
- emergency vehicles proceeding to the assistance of an aircraft in distress shall be afforded priority over all other surface movement traffic;

EYKA AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bird concentrations in the vicinity of Kaunas aerodrome
A typical continental airport. Bird concentrations exhibit clearly expressed seasonality. Four periods can be distinguished in the year: bird wintering (November–February), spring bird migration (March - April) and autumn bird migration (September–October), breeding and juvenile's wandering (May–August).
For the winter period most typical are 24-hour movements of Corvidae with crossing the area of climb and descent as well as the runway. These are typical feeding 24-hour migrations when in the morning birds leave their resting sites for feeding areas and come back from them in the evening for the rest.
The greatest activity of bird 24-hour movements is observed 1 hour before and 1-2 hours after local sunrise as well as 1–2 hours before sunset. Flight altitude is up to 200 M.
During the spring bird migration predominance of Corvidae (rooks, jackdaws), lapwings, starlings, gulls, field-lark, geese, ducks, birds of prey is observed. The main flight direction is NE, flight altitude is up to 150 M at the daytime and up to 2000 M at night. The most intensive migration is observed 1–4 hours after local sunrise at the daytime and 1–3, 6–7 hours after local sunset at night.
During bird breeding and post-breeding in the territory of aerodrome wanderings of rooks, crows, jackdaws, pigeons, starlings, swifts are encountered in May. In June the number of Corvidae, starlings and pigeons increases with appearance of juveniles whose presence in the territory is most hazardous.
Concentration of these birds is especially heavy while grass mowing in the territory of airport.
In July–August migration of starlings, swifts starts, the migration of swallows becomes more intensive, the number of gulls increases in the territory of airport.
In autumn, in September bird migration with predominance of starlings, rooks, finches, larks, tits is observed. At the beginning of October starlings, finches, gulls migrate. In the second half of October migration of Corvidae is noticeable. At the end of the month the formation of 24-hour movement of Corvidae starts. Directions of migrations are W–SW; flight altitudes are up to 250 M at the daytime and up to 2000 M at night. The most hazardous time during the 24-hour period: 1–4; 6–8 hours after local sunset at night and 2–4 hours after local sunrise at the daytime.
As far as practicable ATS will inform pilots of the bird activity and estimate heights AGL.
During the above periods pilots of aircraft are advised, where the aircraft design limitations permit, to operate landing lights in flight within the terminal area and during take-off, landing, approach and climb procedures.
Dispersal activities include occasional play back of distress calls from a tape recorded with firing of shell crackers, sounds, live ammunition and trapping. Modifications of the environment help to reduce but do not eliminate the hazard. They comprise better methods of garbage disposal and drainage, elimination of hedges and soil cover and cessation of farming activity.
