• AFISO (Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officer) is not authorized to give ATC instructions or clearances.
• AFISO is authorized to give ATC instructions on the maneuvering area (taxi, backtrack, line up, runway crossing,
etc).
• AFISO is not allowed to do sequencing. Therefore tell your intentions when the traffic is in sight (eg.
“Joining behind the traffic”, “one orbit for separation”, “extending downwind for separation”, etc).
• The reporting points Zernez (ZS710) and Maloja (ZS702) for IFR and aircraft APCH Cat. B and higher are
mandatory.
• It is highly recommended to maintain listening watch of Samedan AFIS in the region from Maloja to Zernez to
be informed about IFR traffic in the valley.
• Check the appropriate NOTAMs for special regulations, for example during the World Economic Forum in Davos
(WEF), usually at the end of January.

Wind
During winter calm winds predominate throughout the whole day.
In summer a special local wind (Maloja Wind) dominates the wind patterns in the Engadin. This valley wind can
be quite strong (up to 20 knots or more). It normally starts at noon, coming from the south-west.
North winds: Take care of north-easterly winds aligned with the runway axis and expect moderate and severe
turbulences in approach sector. (RWY 03 in use)
Visibility
In winter, visibility may be reduced temporarily due to snow showers. Fog can occur all year round in the
morning. The fog normally dissipates as soon as the sun rises behind the mountains.
The information in this document serves to increase the safety of operation to and from LSZS. For flight preparation use only the official documentation published in the AIP / VFR manual.
CAVOK
For LSZS the ICAO MET term CAVOK means rather nice weather conditions. Due to high MSA, there are no clouds
below 15’600 ft AMSL when LSZS reports CAVOK.
The runway will be closed for arriving and departing aircraft if visibility is less than 1500m and/or ceiling (bkn or
ovc) below 500ft AGL.

NOTE:
Check the weather situation over the Alps
Check the density altitude
Check the aircraft performance, for helicopters HOGE
Check OEI performance
Check contingency procedures
Check procedures in case of loss of GNSS signal (IFR)
Check runway condition
Check NOTAM
On departure, observe the speed and maintain a good rate of climb, especially for
high performance jet aircraft
External lighting has to be used (navigation lights, strobe lights, etc..)
The information in this document serves to increase the safety of operation to and from LSZS. For flight preparation use only the official documentation published in the AIP / VFR manual.
Note:
• Expect unknown VFR activity inside and outside of the
FIZ (Airspace Class E & G)
• Observe the surroundings! Look out for unknown VFR traffic in the vicinity of the airport.
• During winter, expect helicopter traffic at the St. Moritz Bad Heliport LSXM near the approach
sector RWY 03 close to terrain (3.6 NM from THR RWY 03). Their standard procedure avoid the
approach and departure sector of Samedan airport.
• Expect intense glider activity from May to September. Gliders have landing priority.
• Approach RWY 21 / Departure RWY 03: Restricted area LSR11/R11A can be active. Please
check ATIS. For crossing coordination, you may contact Samedan Information as early as
possible (min. 15 minutes before ETA).

General Information:
AFIS 135.325 MHz
ATIS 136.600 MHz
Establish radio contact 5 minutes before entering the FIZ (Flight Information Zone) or at entering points (Zernez,
Albula, Julier, Maloja, Bernina).
It is highly recommended to maintain listening watch of Samedan AFIS in the region from Maloja to Zernez to be
informed about IFR traffic in the valley.
After Albula and Julier enter the valley carefully as there might be jet traffic on a straight-in approach from
Maloja/Zernez. If possible give way to jet aircraft on final and tell AFISO about your intentions.
NOTE: The PIC has the full responsibility to conduct a safe flight and to maintain VMC. The AFISO can only
provide information regarding known traffic as there is no traffic display available.

Since a fully IMC SID from runway 03 / 21 is limited to aircraft with high climb performance, it
was decided to introduce SID’s with an initial visual segment. The pilot will have to maintain
visual ground contact to a specific altitude in order to stay clear of obstacles.

temperatures, as it is in the responsibility of the pilot to adjust the altitudes in case of cold
temperatures.
