Greenlandic AFIS Aerodromes (BG**) except BGGH

NOTE: All Greenlandic AFIS aerodromes require a T2 BIRD AFIS endorsement.

Update: With the expansion of Nuuk airport (BGGH), its procedures have been moved to a separate page: Nuuk AFIS

General Reminders

• The transition altitude in Greenland varies between aerodromes.

• For Greenlandic aerodromes, clearance shall first be obtained from Iceland Radio (BICC_1_FSS.) If Iceland Radio is not online, then:

  • For aerodromes underlying the North sector or Gander (CZQO) OCA:
    • Aircraft should be instructed to depart at their own discretion.
  • For aerodromes underlying the West sector:
    • Request clearance from the lowest BIRD West sector online (usually BIRD_W1_CTR), or the lowest South sector if no West sectors are online.
