 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.
