VFR Routes (BIKF and BIRK CTRs)

Five VFR routes are published within the BIKF & BIRK CTRs (Control Zones). These are pre-defined routes for single-engine aircraft that follow designated visual reporting points on the ground.

The VFR routes are for single-engine fixed-wing aircraft ONLY. Multi-engine aircraft should NOT be cleared onto the VFR routes!

The routes are defined as follows:

Route 1 “Videyhouse”: Videyhouse - Lundey - Brimnes - Tangi (in Hofsvik)

Route 2 “Gufunes”: Gufunes - Tungubakkar

Route 3 “Gullinbru": Gullinbru - Langavatn

Route 4 “Vifilsstadir”: Vifilsstadir - Vegamot

Route 6 “Straumsvik”: Gardachurch - Aluminium Factory - Kuagerdi - Seltjorn - Patterson

While each route has a name, they are typically referred to by their numbers, e.g., "route 6," in radio communications.

All routes are flown at 1500ft, except route 6 which is flown at 1000ft. All routes are bidirectional.
