Greenlandic AFIS Aerodromes (BG**)

NOTE: All Greenlandic AFIS aerodromes require a Tier 2 endorsement.

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:
    • 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.
  • For aerodromes underlying the Gander OCA (in southern Greenland):
    • Request clearance from Gander Radio (CZQO_FSS), or NAT bandbox (NAT_FSS) if CZQO is offline.
