Pilot or ATC action on Change of Runway

It is possible that during the control of traffic, wind condition changed abruptly from the opposite direction. When it happens, AERODROME CONTROL TOWER shall revise runway-in-use and issue revised instruction to all aircraft (departure as well as arrival). For aircraft which is on take-off position (about to take-off) or on final approach and appears to be in difficulties if he has to pull up and go round, shall be advised to permit the pilot-in- command to decide whether he will use another runway or continue approach to land with the existing tail wind condition.

The pattern of arriving aircraft who intends to change the runway-in- use shall pull up and go round then follow the circling procedure (see again paragraph 1.20.3.5.1. on page 23 and 1.20.3.5.2. on page 24).
