## 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.
