Delivery

Keflavik Delivery (BIKF_DEL) shall provide clearance delivery to departing IFR aircraft.

Overview of SIDs

All SIDs below require RNAV 1 capability.

TERMINATING FIX	RUNWAY
	01	10	19	28
LUTER	2A	2B	3C	3D
OSKUM	3A	1B	3C	3D
PIXUM	1A	1B	2C	2D
RIMUM	1A	3B	1C	1D
DELES	2A	3B	2C	3D
SORIR	3A	3B	2C	2D
RALOV	3A	4B	3C	1D
Initial Climb: FL290 (or RFL if lower)

Omnidirectional Departures

Aircraft which are non-RNAV may be cleared on the Omnidirectional (OMNI) departures. There are four OMNI departures – one for each runway. These departures essentially have the aircraft fly runway track to 5000ft, after which they will proceed as instructed by ATC.

RWY	OMNI	TRK
01	4A	014
10	4B	104
19	4C	194
28	4D	284

When assigning an Omnidirectional departure, DEL shall notify APP (no prior approval from APP is required), and change the SID item in the Departure list to the appropriate OMNI SID, overriding Euroscope’s automatic SID selection.

Standard Routings for Departures

Iceland AIP ENR 1.8.3.1.3.7 defines standard routing requirements for departures from BIKF. For ease of reference, they have been summarized into the following images:

G3 Airway Restriction

For aircraft departing BIKF (and BIRK), the G3 airway is not available, except to aircraft with short-range navigational equipment only (e.g., VOR navigation.)

If an aircraft has filed a flight plan routing via G3, they should be rerouted as per the standard routings below. (Generally speaking, most aircraft can be rerouted from the last waypoint of their SID DCT to their final waypoint in the Reykjavik CTA, or the final waypoint of their flight plan for flights remaining in the Reykjavik CTA, such as those going to EKVG.)

IFR Flights to BIRK

DEL shall coordinate all IFR flights from BIKF-BIRK prior to issuing the clearance. APP will provide either a direct to one of BIRK’s Initial Approach Fixes (IAFs), or radar vectors, depending on the traffic situation. Such clearances may follow the general format of non-standard clearances (see Delivery SOP page), for example:

🎧 ICE9302, cleared to Reykjavik, after departure runway 19 direct MIKVU, 5000ft, squawk 1371.

IFR Circuits/Crosswind Testing

In real life, BIKF is a common destination for aircraft manufacturers to test their aircraft’s heavy crosswind capabilities.

DEL must coordinate all such aircraft with APP prior to issuing any clearance. The flight may be issued a clearance with the clearance limit of “Keflavik,” specifying that the flight is performing IFR circuits (or crosswind testing), with any relevant departure instructions as coordinated with APP. For example:

🎧 BOE1, cleared to Keflavik, IFR circuits, after departure runway 19 fly runway heading, climb 5000ft, squawk 1322.
