Belfast City Airport is only available to noise certified Chapter lll aircraft except in emergency or diversion.
Ground running of aircraft engines shall be subject to the approval of the aerodrome authority. No ground running of engines is permitted between 2230-0600 (2130-0500).
Use of the aerodrome by aircraft not able to communicate with ATC subject to prior permission.
Aircraft shall not enter a stand until stand entrance guidance is activated or marshalling assistance is available on stand. If neither is available crew shall stop on short on stand centre-line and request (via ATC) that the stand be activated.
Belfast City Airport is not equipped for CAT II/III operations, however Low Visibility Procedures are used to protect CAT I operations.
Low Visibility Procedures will commence when RVR/Met visibility falls to 800 M or less, or cloud ceiling is observed to be 200 FT or less.
Pilots will be informed when these procedures are in operation by ATIS or by RTF.
Aircraft assembly hangar on the northwest side of the runway, infringes transitional surface by 2.84 M, 269 M from the runway centre-line.
Pilots should anticipate windshear on approach to Runway 22 and departure from Runway 04 when the surface wind direction is between 100° and 160° + 15 KTS. Due to strong wind conditions, turbulence may be expected on approach or climb out to/from either runway.
Pilots are warned of the presence of greylag geese in the vicinity of the Aerodrome. The geese normally transit between the north-east of the Aerodrome and Victoria Park which is below the 04 Approach. Geese movements are typically at dawn and dusk and at an altitude of approximately 50-100 FT AGL. Aerodrome Bird Dispersal, including the use of pyrotechnics, is in operation during Aerodrome operational hours.
HT pylons 115 FT AAL 0.66 NM from threshold of Runway 04.

High ground rising to 1227 FT AMSL 3.9 NM to the West and Northwest.
Floating cranes and shipping in Belfast Harbour.
Three cranes (Lgtd), 250 FT AAL 1 NM West of the aerodrome.
Two chimneys (Lgtd) 250 FT AAL 1 NM West of the aerodrome.
ILS Glide Path and Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI) - Runway 04 only: With a certain combination of aircraft type and antenna configuration, there is potential for crews to observe a small discrepancy between indications from the ILS Glide Path and PAPI on Runway 04. Both of these approach path guidance systems are within published tolerance limits and are regularly flight checked for compliance and accuracy.
Not applicable
Arrivals; Runway 22 is the preferred landing runway. Departures; Runway 04 is the preferred departure runway.
Training flights by prior arrangement only.
Every operator of aircraft using, or intending to use the Aerodrome shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in such a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable to areas surrounding the Airport. These procedures may only be departed from to the extent necessary to avoid immediate danger or in compliance with ATC instructions. Operators of all aircraft are required to conform with the following procedures.
Aircraft operators shall instigate their aircraft manufacturers Noise Abatement recommended procedures on departure and up to FL 100, or the procedures listed below:

All Jet Aircraft
Climb straight ahead to altitude 3000 FT QNH before turning, thereafter as per the clearance issued by ATC.
Propeller Aircraft greater than 13,000 KG MTOW
Climb straight ahead to altitude 2000 FT QNH before turning, thereafter as per the clearance issued by ATC.
Propellor Aircraft 13,000 KG MTOW or less
Climb straight ahead to altitude 1500 FT QNH before turning, thereafter as per the clearance issued by ATC.
Arriving Aircraft
Radar vectored or instrument approaches will be conducted at altitudes consistent with the RVA or appropriate approach chart. Radar assigned levels on base leg Runway 22 will be 2500 FT until aircraft have coasted out.
Aircraft landing without assistance from glidepath shall descend in accordance with the recommended profile provided in the UK AlP Instrument Approach Charts.
Visual Approaches
Runway 22 – Aircraft are to establish on the 7 DME arc (I-BFH) and coast out not below 2500 FT QNH before establishing on the final approach track at not less than 5 DME.
Runway 04
Descent profiles shall be optimised to establish on the final approach track at 5 NM not below 1500 FT.
Aircraft downwind left Runway 04 are exempt from the above restriction if the flight path avoids residential areas.
It is recommended that aircraft making an approach to Runway 04 shall follow a descent profile which will not result in it being at any time lower than the approach path which would be flown during an ILS GP approach.
Pilots flying beneath the Belfast TMA below the Transition Altitude (6000 FT) should use the QNH of an aerodrome situated within the lateral limits of the TMA; except that the aerodrome QFE may be used when flying within the circuit.
Clearance to Enter the Belfast TMA
Aircraft flying on the Airways System will be cleared into the Belfast TMA without having to request a specific entry clearance.
Aircraft wishing to enter the TMA from the open FIR, whether IFR or VFR, must obtain clearance from Belfast Approach Control if joining from the south or east, or from Aldergrove Approach Control if joining from other directions.
Standard Routes
The standard initial routes for inbound aircraft, which are shown in the table below, may be varied at the discretion of ATC (eg for traffic reasons or to allow traffic to be sequenced by radar).

North Atlantic Jet Departures
Due to the proximity of the Shanwick Oceanic boundary to Belfast City, pilots must consider timescales for submitting an ’RCL’. Refer to ENR 2.2, paragraph 3.8.2 for details.
Belfast City Departures Via IOM - Speed Profile
Traffic departing Belfast City via L15/Q39 with a requested level of FL 290 or above is required to cross SOSIM/INKOB at FL 290 or above. To ensure that these aircraft can achieve the required level by SOSIM/INKOB, speed restrictions are to be observed.
All Belfast City departures to the south-east with a requested flight level of FL 290 or above, are to fly in accordance with the following maximum speeds:
Jet traffic with a MTOW greater than 35000 KG Max 250 KT IAS until FL 100, then Max 290 KT IAS until FL 250;
Jet traffic with a MTOW less than 35000 KG and all non jet traffic; Max 250 KT IAS until above FL 250.
Aircraft unable to reach FL 290 by SOSIM/INKOB must advise Belfast City prior to push-back, giving the anticipated flight level at SOSIM/INKOB.
The RVH is located within Class G Airspace immediately adjacent to Belfast City CTR (Class D); MPH is located within the Belfast City (Class D) CTR.
Pilots of aircraft operating to/from the RVH or MPH should be aware of the potential for conflictions and/or TCAS events to occur with aircraft operating to/from Belfast City Airport. To reduce conflictions, the following procedures apply:
RVH Helipad
RVH - Inbound. Due to the proximity of CAS to the East, Pilots are strongly advised to establish two-way communications with Belfast City and, if required, request a CTR entry clearance.
RVH - Outbound. Pilots are strongly advised to call Belfast Tower on 122.830 MHz when on the Helipad; if unable to establish two-way communications contact Belfast Approach on 130.850 MHz.
MPH Helipad
MPH - Inbound. Pilots are to establish two-way communications with Belfast City requesting a CTR entry clearance.
MPH - Outbound. When inbound, pilots will be issued with departure instructions as follows: Call Belfast Approach on 130.850 MHz when on the ground, if unable to establish two-way communications, lift low-level to the West of the M1 Motorway departing the CTR, and establish two-way communication.
Outside of Belfast City operating hours a Basic Service may be available from Aldergrove Radar on 133.125 MHz.
To facilitate the integration of VFR flights within the Belfast Airspace, pilots may be required to join/leave the airspace via specified VRPs.
Details of VRPs are available in the consolidated 'Visual Reference Points List' published on the 'Digital Dataset' page of the NATS AIS website, www.nats.aero/ais.
Pilots operating in the vicinity of, but intending to remain outside, Belfast/City controlled airspace within the area defined below and maintaining a listening watch only on Belfast Approach frequency, 130.850 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 4255:
545930N 0051542W - 545548N 0052800W -
545656N 0055417W - 543833N 0055732W -
thence clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 9 NM centred on 543927N 0061257W to
543233N 0060302W - 542135N 0061619W -
540707N 0060015W - 540520N 0055140W -
542050N 0052650W - 545410N 0051030W -
545930N 0051542W.
Selection of 4255 does not imply the receipt of an ATC service. Aircraft displaying the code are not expected to contact ATC under normal circumstances, remain responsible for their own navigation, separation, terrain clearance and are expected to remain clear of the controlled airspace at all times.
Whilst squawking 4255 pilots should be aware that Belfast Approach may make blind transmissions in order to ascertain a particular aircraft's intentions/route.
When a pilot ceases to maintain a listening watch, code 4255 shall be deselected.
An obstacle free distance of approximately 93 M exists from the end of the paved surface at the southwest end of the runway up to the location of the Runway 22 localiser.
A further obstacle free distance of approximately 15 M exists from the Runway 22 localiser to the non-frangible aerodrome boundary fence, beyond which there is a steep-angled drop of several metres down to a tidal lagoon.
