Pattern characteristic

a) Circuit pattern at SEAHORSE AIRPORT are designed in accordance with the parallel runways operation, those are avoiding overlapping traffic patterns overhead aerodrome.

b) An aircraft that cannot be cleared to land shall be instructed to go round again (overshoot) then join aerodrome traffic circuit climb to circuit height.

Entry to SHE aerodrome traffic circuit

An arriving IFR aircraft executing an instrument approach shall normally be cleared to land straight-in unless visual maneuvering (circling) to other runway is required.

The clearance to enter SHE aerodrome traffic circuit should be issued to an aircraft whenever it is desired that the aircraft approach the landing area in accordance with current traffic circuits but traffic conditions do not yet allow a landing clearance to be issued.

Depending on the circumstances and traffic conditions, an aircraft may be cleared to join at any position in the traffic circuit (join downwind, direct base leg or via overhead).

When aircraft in SHE aerodrome traffic circuit in such dense that additional traffic cannot be accommodated anymore, such traffic may be instructed to hold visually over ALPHA or BRAVO until the traffic conditions permit. Prior co-ordination shall be made with SEAHORSE APPROACH CONTROL OFFICE before instructing aircraft to hold over such area.
