ENBR – Bergen Flesland

Overview

Bergen Airport Flesland is the airport of the 2nd biggest city in Norway and covers most of the population in the western side of Norway. The most popular routing is flying over the mountain to Norways main airport at Oslo, but short commuter routes to Stavanger, Bodø, Trondheim, Kristiansand and other cities in Norway are common too. Bergen airport is also serving several European routes to popular vacation routes and important routes to the big hubs in central Europe.

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Clearance Delivery, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH. If unable to follow SID, please advise on initial contact.

IFR departures with destination ENZV or ENHD shal use BEGOD as first (and only waypoint) in the route on FPL

Push-back

Most of the terminal gates require straight-back pushes. However, a few have turn pushes. In the map overview below, you will access all information:

Map Overviews

Terminal + Apron North (Stand 15-48)

ENBR Pushback Terminal.png

Apron South (Stand 1-11)

ENBR Pushback Apron South.png

If the stand is not mentioned in the maps, ask the ground controller if you're unsure how to excecute the pushback

ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. If it's the case you can expect pushback instructions once the pushback clearance is given.

Taxi

Taxi instructions include the full taxi route, however the runway intersection will normally not be specified. Pilots are expected to taxi to the beginning of the runway; A1 (RWY 17) and A9 (RWY 35).

Aircraft with wake turbulence category light can expect taxi to interesection A2 (RWY 17) and A8 (RWY 35) during busy periods, and A4 (RWY 17) and A6 (RWY 35) when traffic permits.

Helicopters on Heli Apron can expect taxi to intersection A5 (RWY 17) and A6 (RWY 35).

Pilots are encouraged to state (preferably when on TWR frequency):

Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.

Runways

There is a single runway available at ENBR, which is runway 17/35.

Helicopters may land on taxiway Y (parallel to the runway) if there are low traffic levels and good visibility conditions.

Important note when landed:
Please vacate the runway fully. This means the whole aircraft has crossed the stop bar line. If the aircraft is partly over and not fully, the consequences are that we might have to send aircraft around or delay them as the runway is not free.

SIDs

All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway. RNAV SIDs at Bergen have an initial climb altitude of 6000ft. If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure. Omni-directional departures have their own designated SIDs as OMNI3D and OMNI3C. Although it sounds like a normal SID, it's a omni-directional departure. You will find the omni-departure procedures on the chart databases. It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

Arrival and STARs

Before or at the initial phase of your descent, you will recessive your clearance for STAR and arrival. The arrivals contain many waypoints and restrictions. We recommend preloading the expected STAR and crosschecking so the correct fixes and restrictions have been loaded before descending. This helps you and the aircraft to plan the optimum descend profile and the start of the desende. Although remember to not start on the STAR unless you have been cleared by the controller.

Do not descend until cleared by the controller. If you receive the arrival clearance or the STAR clearance, this does not mean you have been cleared for descend.

Flesland is using a “Point Merge System”, or PMS. This means that all STARs end up in a “fan” made out of waypoints (RIVIP, GODID, GILVA, NEPAM), in which pilots should always be prepared for a direct routing towards the merge waypoint, 4 in total, in order to ease the workload of approach ATC.

If traffic situation permits, you might get directs along the STAR or at the terminating/transition point. Be prepared to execute direct routings when instructed to.

Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

Approach

All aircraft can expect ILS W approach, unless it has been instructed to expect another type of approach. If unable to perform the ILS approach, advise the approach controller on initial contact.

The last fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) is followed by a transition to the ILS approach for each runway. ATC often replaces these with vectoring, but always be prepared to fly the transition, and do NOT fly direct from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix. If you have no transitions available, inform ATC and request vectoring.

When you are cleared for the approach via GILVA, NEPAM, GODID or RIVIP transition, you are also cleared to continue the descent as long as the restrictions are followed. Usually, the restriction is 4000 feet or above at the transition point, but we recommend as always looking at your chart for the most precise information.

Following approach types is available in ENBR:

Runway Approach types
17 ILS W, LOC W, RNP Z, RNP (AR) E/N/S/W, VOR Helicopter only: ILS Y, LOC Y, RNP 139
35 ILS W, LOC W, RNP Z, RNP (AR) E/N/W, VOR Helicopter only: ILS Y, LOC Y, RNP 043
Unless other instructions have been given from ATC, it's expected that pilots maintains minimum 160 KT IAS until 4 NM from THR. ATC shall be informed if you are unable to comply with this.
Notes:
1. RNP (AR) approaches are only to be considered to be used at a low-traffic level. RNP Z is available on request.
2. Visual approaches are also available and shall not fly below 2000 feet until established on final. Expect direct to respective points in the visual approach chart when planning for visual approach.

Direct routings

In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings.

De-Ice

Kjevik Airport has only one de-icing platform, south of taxiway Y. Taxiing to and from the platform requires ATC clearance, even outside the maneuvering area. Pilots should exercise caution when taxiing.

PlatformRestriction
De-IceOne ARC C or D ACFT
The Engine Testing Area shares the same location as the de-icing facility.
Business jets may use the stands east of de-ice for parking outside of winter operations.

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Kjevik Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

Push-back

Pushback is straight back from all stands unless the controller specifies otherwise during pushback clearance.

Taxi

Tower provides taxi instructions. For RWY 03, expect taxi to holdingpoint A. For RWY 21, expect taxi to holdingpoint B with runway backtracking.

Taxiways C and G are limited to ARC B aircraft and daytime operations only due to no taxiway lighting.

Runways

Runway (03/21) has a runway length of approximately 2000 meters. During runway 03 operation aircrafts will get taxi to holding-point A via Y. During 21 operations you will get instructions to back-track the runway from B.

SIDs

All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

All departures have an initial climb to 5000FT.

If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure.

It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

STARs

Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

STARs are available from AMSEV, LANTI, OSVAL, RASVI, TIPSO, PEVEB (RWY 03/21)

All STARs terminate at a transition fix. If cleared for an ILS approach, follow the ILS transition route depicted on the ILS charts.

Approach

ILS, LOC, and RNP approaches are available for both runways. Due to noise abatement, visual approaches must follow the PAPI slope when below 1500ft.

ENGM – Oslo Lufthavn

Available stands

Overview

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen is the main airport of the Norwegian capital Oslo, and the main international airport of Norway. Having earlier served as a secondary airport, air force base and charter airport, Gardermoen opened as the new main airport of Oslo on October the 8th 1998, replacing the now closed Fornebu Airport. Today, it has over 26 million passengers passing through each year, with 162 destinations worldwide, from short domestic flights to intercontinental long hauls.

CODE F / A380

All procedures are also well shown on AD 2 ENGM 2-3 (Aerodrome Ground Movement Chart - Code F)

Runway 01L/19R will normally be used for departure and arrivals.

The following stands are designated for Code F operations:

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Clearance Delivery, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

The ATIS will indicate whether clearance via datalink is available. If your aircraft is equipped with ACARS, please request clearance via datalink.

Requesting De-Icing

If you need de-icing before departure, request it when making your IFR clearance request. If you forget to do so, notify ATC immediately once you determine that de-icing is required. After pushback is requested, de-icing may no longer be available, as you will have already been placed in the departure sequence - depending on traffic conditions.

DCL: Include clearence request with Remark REQ DEICE
Voice: Upon inital contact with GARDEMOEN DELIVERY, advise if de-ice is required.

Push-back

Most of the terminal gates requires straight-back pushes, however a few have turn-pushes. Please have a look on the maps below to see how you should perform your push from the stand. You can click on the images to have a closer look.

Overview

ENGM Overview.jpg


ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. If it's the case you can expect pushback instructions once the pushback clearance is given.

Taxi

Taxi instructions at Gardermoen include the full taxi route, but the runway intersection may not always be specified. If your clearance states "holding point runway XX," you may request an intersection departure by calling ATC with "CALLSIGN, ready via [intersection]" as you approach it. Approval will depend on traffic conditions. Before requesting, ensure the available runway length is sufficient for your aircraft.

For runway 01R, always expect a full-length departure via B1 or B2 due to noise abatement and SID procedures.

Runways

Given that you’ve parked according to the paragraph describing the Use of stands, usually the eastern runway (19L/01R) is used for international departures/arrivals, and the western (19R/01L) for domestic departures/arrivals. This however is not a set rule, and runways are organized to accommodate high traffic loads. The western runway (19R/01L) has a TORA of 3600m, the eastern runway (19L/01R) has a TORA of 2950m.

During winter operations the airport normally operates with a segregated runway configuration, landing on 01R/19R and departing 01L/19L.

Heavy aircraft may request to use the western runway due to its length, make this request as you request your IFR clearance.

SIDs

Each SID is assigned to a specific runway. When receiving your clearance, remember that the SID provided is only valid for one runway—double-check in case the controller omits the departure runway.

At Gardermoen, RNAV SIDs have an initial climb altitude of 7,000 feet. If you are unable to follow the published SIDs due to an outdated AIRAC cycle, default aircraft, or non-database freeware, inform ATC when requesting clearance. You will be given alternative departure instructions based on the assigned runway and aircraft type.

VEMIN and VIBUK departures are restricted to propeller aircraft only.

STARs

Oslo Airport Gardermoen is one of the first in Europe to implement a Point Merge System (PMS). This system organizes all STARs into a waypoint "fan" (refer to the STAR charts for Gardermoen). Pilots should always be ready for a direct routing to one of the four merge waypoints to help reduce approach ATC workload.

All STARs are valid for both parallel runways, 19L/R or 01L/R. Approach ATC will assign your runway based on current traffic conditions and stand allocation.

The final fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) leads to a transition FIX for the ILS approach to each runway. While ATC often provides vectors instead, always be prepared to fly the published transition. Do not proceed directly from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix (FAF). If no transitions are available, inform ATC and request vectors.

Review the ILS charts carefully and adhere to all altitude and speed restrictions unless instructed otherwise by ATC.

Approach

The standard approach to Gardermoen is ILS for all runways, all of which are CAT III equipped. During low visibility conditions, only the right runway (01R or 19R) is used for landings. RNP approaches are available upon request. The RNP AR approaches will allow for shorter track miles.

"Via `INSUV/VALPU/TITLA/BAVAD` cleared ILS approach runway xx" means that after reaching the specified waypoint, you are to follow the ILS transition route as depicted on the ILS approach charts. You must also descend according to the published procedure - study the ILS charts so you are well prepared.

Standard Speeds to Follow (unless ATC assigns you a different speed):

Visual approaches are not permitted for jet aircraft—only propeller aircraft may request a visual approach.

Direct routings

In Norway, direct routings are commonly used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared for direct clearances to the end of SIDs, STAR merge points, or airspace border fixes. Ensure you have your filed route and waypoint page readily available to quickly accommodate direct routing instructions.

ENTC – Tromsø Langnes

Overview

Tromsø is the biggest city in Northern Norway and is often called as “the Nordic answer to Paris”. The airport is located 3 kilometres from the city centre and is an important hub for the commuter network in Northern Norway. It also has international destinations within Europe. The surrounding area is spectacular and the approach into Tromsø is known for its steep approach down to the runway. Are you up for the challenge?

Stands

Available stands

Normal stand allocation is as followed:
Domestic: 21-25
International: 15-21
GA parks on the apron east of the runway

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Tromsø Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

In major events, an own dedicated delivery postition will be online to issue IFR clearences.

Push-back

All pushback is executed straight back from the stand if it's not specified by the controller on pushback clearance.

Taxi

Taxi instructions at Tromsø include the full taxi route, however, the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway XX” is stated in your instruction, you may call ATC with “CALLSIGN, ready via ” as you approach this intersection, and it may be approved if traffic permits. Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.

Runways

The runway (18/36) has a runway length of approximately 2400 meters. Medium and heavy aircraft are expected to backtrack on runway 18 for full length. Heavy aircraft may request a backtrack for full length on runway 36.

SIDs

All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

All departures have an initial climb to FL90.

If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure.

It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

STARs

Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

STAR is available from LOMVI, KIIKA, DIBDI, AMIMO, GILGU, SJA (NON-RNAV, RWY 18), LURAP (NON-RNAV, RWY 36)

Holdings & rerouting during event

On major events such as Fly and See Santa, you have to expect holding and reroutings. We kindly ask and expect pilots to know the aircraft they execute rerouting and holdings in the specific aircraft. There are limited published holds. Expect to hold as published if there is a published hold. If not, holding instructions will be given.

Approach

Tromsø has an ILS, LOC and RNP approach for both runways.
The glide path is steeper than normal, so make sure to be established on a manageable speed before starting the approach. The Glide path angle is 4 degrees (7%)

Direct routings

In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct to the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings. Pilots unable to fly direct, should make a comment regarding this in their Flight-Plan Remarks section.

STARs

Trondheim Værnes is using a “Point Merge System”, or PMS for all arrivals. This means that all STARs end up in a “fan” made out of waypoints (study the STAR charts), in which pilots should always be prepared for a direct routing towards the merge waypoint, 4 in total, in order to ease the workload of approach ATC.

The last fix of the STAR (or Merge Point) is followed by a transition to the ILS approach for each runway. ATC often replace these with vectoring, but always be prepared to fly the transition, and do NOT fly direct from the merge point to the Final Approach Fix. If you have no transitions available, inform ATC and request vectoring. Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC

⚠️Recommended descend restrictions

All STARs to Trondheim are by standard giving a descend profile, based on flying along the STAR throughout. In almost all situations, a DCT to STAR merge point will be given. Therefore a set of recommended altitudes at given points is added to charts and text pages to guide and give an optimum descend profile to the approach. We highly recommend programming this in FMS/FMC in good time prior to your top of descend and pre-program your expected STAR

Approach

The default approach to Værnes is ILS for all runways. RNAV or visual approaches are available on request.

Visual approach is usually flown via MALOV (Runway 09) and TUSMO (Runway 27).

Direct routings

In Norway, direct routings are often used. Both arriving and departing traffic should be prepared to fly direct the end of SIDs, STAR Merge Points, and airspace border fixes. Make sure you have your filed route and waypoint page available to quickly accommodate direct routings.

Overview

Welcome to Stavanger! The airport is located just outside the city south of the western coast of Norway.

Stands

 

Stands Section for
17-24 Domestic
14-16 Combined

50-64 Helicopter
25-27, 30-36, 301-303 Cargo/GA

De-Ice

When requesting startup, advise ATC if de-icing is required. This must be given over radio transmission only, not via DCL.

PlatformRestriction
TWY PNot available for ARC D or E
TWY QOne ARC D or E ACFT

When de-icing compleated and ready, contact ATC for taxi clearence.

IFR clearance

Initial contact is with Sola Ground, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter and QNH.

Flight level allocations
Flights from ENZV to ENBR & ENSO are to file EVEN flight levels below FL175.

SIDs

All SIDs are individually numbered for each runway. When receiving your clearance, know that the SID stated is only valid for one runway, in case the controller forgets to state the departure runway.

Type Inital climb
SID 6000 ft
OMNI-SID 5000 ft
SID (CAT H) 2000 ft

Push-back

Aircraft will be pushed to different disconnection positions (DPSN) based on stand and aircraft type:

For detailed description, see AD 2 ENZV 2-4: "Push Back Procedures" in the AIP.

Taxi

Taxi instructions include the full taxi route however, the runway intersection is not always included. If for example “holding point runway XX” is stated in your instruction, you may call ATC with;

CALLSIGN, ready via A1

as you approach this intersection or with the taxi request, and it may be approved if traffic permits. Make sure to double-check if you are able to use the runway length from the intersection before requesting it.

When taxiing to holding point for runway 36, you will need to cross runway. Make sure to cross the runway only if you have been cleared to by ATC

Intersection departure from runway 10/28 when departing runway 18/36 is available upon request

Runways

Runway 18/36 is the main runway at Stavanger, Sola (ENZV). It will be used for all fixed-wings departures and arrivals as a favourable runway. If crosswind component exceeds aircraft limits, RWY 10/28 will be used.

Runway 18

Intersection TORA (m)
TWY G1 2539
TWY A1 1830

Runway 36

Intersection TORA (m)
TWY E1 2435
RWY 10/28 1758

Runway 10/28 is used mainly for helicopter departure and arrivals. If strong crosswinds or low visibility, helicopters will land on RWY 18/36. The runway can also be used for departures and arrivals for fixed wing ACFT for operational reasons (crosswind, maintainainance etc.)

Runway 10

Intersection TORA (m)
TWY D 1646
TWY H 1112

Runway 28

Intersection TORA (m)
TWY F1 2193
TWY G5 1479
TWY H 961
TWY D 456
If you are unable to follow the published SIDs (old AIRAC, default or non-database freeware aircraft, etc.), request an Omni-directional departure.

It is important that you NEVER climb above the initial climb without ATC clearance, as STARs and SIDs cross each other at different altitudes.

STARs

Study the approach charts, and make sure to always follow altitude and speed restriction, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

STARs are available from BEGOD, IDIDI, KUNEM, RIVEX, ROPNO, UNBUD and UPDER for all runways.
Own CAT H STARs are available from EVOLO and UTERU for RWY 10, 18 & 36.

Approach

Sola has ILS, LOC and RNP approach for both runways. Visual approaches are also available and should not be flown below the ILS glide path or PAPI glide slope.
