Icelandic AFIS Aerodromes (BI**)

As of 20th March 2024, all departing aircraft from a aifs airfield will receive a standard clearance but you are still required to receive the clearance from BIRD.

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

General Reminders

• The transition altitude for Iceland is 7000ft.
• IFR and oceanic clearance shall be obtained from the lowest BIRD South sector (usually BIRD_S1_CTR.)
  
• Only some aerodromes have ATZs. For all others, the AFIS unit is responsible for aircraft "in the vicinity of" the aerodrome (i.e., within, joining, or leaving the traffic circuit.)
