ENCN - Kristiansand Kjevik

Overview

Kristiansand Airport (Kjevik) is located on Norway's southern coast and serves the southern region. It offers flights to various Norwegian and European destinations including Oslo, Bergen and Amsterdam.

Stands

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.

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.

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.

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.
