Use governed by regulations applicable to Channel Islands CTR.
All aircraft using Guernsey Airport and its facilities must comply with the requirements of the United Kingdom Civil Aviation (Insurance) Regulations 2005 and any future published amendments to these Regulations.
The use of the aerodrome is subject to 'Airport Terms and Conditions of Use'. These are available from Airport Administration (01481-227766) or on the Airport website (www.airport.gg/airport-business/terms-conditions).
In IMC, flight to Guernsey by aircraft not equipped with VOR will be by prior permission only.
The Director of Civil Aviation for the Bailiwick of Guernsey has issued Exemptions from the Air Navigation (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2012 authorising operations in Bailiwick of Guernsey airspace including Guernsey and Alderney Airports, by home-built aircraft registered in ECAC Member States, and non-home-built aircraft registered in the UK, Ireland and France, operating on a National airworthiness certificate. (Separate exemptions extend the effect to Jersey Airport and Jersey Airspace.)
Note that the exemptions do not exempt the pilot or operator from obtaining permission from Jersey ATC for flight in the Channel Islands Control Zone, from Guernsey ATC for flight in Guernsey airspace and use of Guernsey and Alderney Airports, or from the requirement to carry a transponder whilst flying within the Channel Islands Control Zone.
Guernsey airport conforms to the United Kingdom National Aviation Security Programme. A means of identification will be necessary for all aircrew and private aircraft passengers to gain access to aircraft, stands and parking areas.
The carriage of carrying dangerous or hazardous cargo is subject to a ‘permission granted’ under the Air Navigation (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2012.
All aircrew whilst airside, are required to wear high visibility clothing at all times. Aircrew wearing high visibility clothing must escort passengers (not wearing high visibility clothing) to and from their aircraft. Pilots in charge of aircraft are responsible for ensuring that their crew and passengers comply with these requirements.
There is no access to the terminal building for crews and passengers of private and General Aviation flights unless the services of a handling agent are employed.
All commercial and general aviation aircraft using Guernsey Airport are required to use the services of a handling agent (see AD 2.4).
General Aviation aircraft intending to visit Guernsey must contact either Aircraft Servicing Guernsey or Aiglle Flight Support prior to arrival to arrange parking, customs and immigration. Contact details in EGJB AD 2.4 Handling Services and Facilities.
In respect of Aerodrome Operating Minima, the notified method of calculating Aerodrome Operating Minima for the purposes of the Air Navigation (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2012 shall be that published in the UK AIP, Section AD 1.1 subsection 4, Aerodrome Operating Minima.
Applications for civilian formation flights in Special VFR within the CI Control Zone should ideally be made in writing or by e-mail to Jersey ATC Operations (atc.ops@jerseyairport.com) ideally with a minimum of seven days notice. Short notice application may be made to the Jersey ATC Watch Manager, Tel: +44 (0)1534-446086.
Commercial passenger aircraft will predominantly utilise stands 1 to 8, which are configured for nose-in push back operations. Guernsey Airport has authorised some approved smaller aircraft to self-manoeuvre onto and off these stands. Details are provided within the Aerodrome Manual. AC Fixed Electrical Ground Power is available on Stands 2, 3, 4 and 5. AC and DC Fixed Electrical Ground Power is available on Stands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The apron configuration is shown at page AD 2-EGJB-2-2.
Aircraft proceeding from and to the East Apron or Aiglle Flight Support must exercise caution when transiting the A hold complex due to the potential for an incursion onto Runway 27. EGJB HS1 refers.
Guernsey Airport operates a 'ring of red' policy, with runway holding point stop bars in permanent operation. Pilots are reminded that they must not cross an illuminated red stop bar unless specifically authorised by ATC.
Arrivals: CAT ll/lll operations are not applicable.
When Low Visibility Procedures are notified as in force by ATIS or RTF, pilots should, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, vacate the runway only at the runway ends and report vacated after passing the yellow/green section of taxiway lighting.
Pilots are to note that flight is not permitted at a height of less than 2000 FT above ground level within 3 NM of 492546N 0022145W on the Island of Sark (R095) except with the permission of the Channel Islands Director of Civil Aviation or from Guernsey ATC as necessary.
The firing at Fort Le Marchant small arms range (493031N 0023105W), takes place seaward within sectors 347°T to 069°T, radius 3000 M.
Model Aircraft Flying may take place on any day of the year, during daylight hours, at Chouet headland (493021N 0023247W) up to 400 FT AMSL.
After periods of prolonged rainfall, isolated areas adjacent to the paved surfaces may become waterlogged and incapable of bearing weight.
Down draught or turbulence may be experienced on approaches to either runway in strong winds from any direction due to cliffs and valleys in local terrain.
When landing on Runway 27 in strong south east to south west winds, building induced turbulence and windshear conditions may be experienced.
There are no ground signals other than light signals, the chequered flag and the letter 'C' indicating the point to which pilots are required to report.
Due to coastal location, birds are a hazard throughout most of the year. This hazard level is raised during the migration season.
Taxiway D has a 2.5% slope between Holding Point A4 and Taxiway C.
Between D1 and D2 the taxiway to runway centre-line distance reduces to 123 M.
When LVPs are not in force, maintenance and birdscaring vehicles may operate inside the 140 M runway strip but outside the 105 M clear and graded area.
Not applicable
Light aircraft are to land and take-off on the paved runway. No other light aircraft landing area is available.
All instrument and circuit training must be booked in advance with Guernsey ATC (call 01481-227766 and ask for ATC Supervisor). A request for training in Item 18 of a FPL will not be accepted as a booking or allocated a training slot.
All aircraft must conform to the following procedures. These procedures may only be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger.
Every operator using the airport shall ensure that at all times aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable over all parts of the island.
Unless ATC otherwise authorise, the Noise Preferential Routings and Procedures specified below shall apply to all aircraft approaching, landing, 'going around' or taking-off in accordance with their ATC clearance.
All departing aircraft weighing 5,700 kg or more will climb straight ahead to at least 1836 FT QNH (1500 FT QFE), or 3 DME, whichever is the sooner, before turning on course.
Non-SID IFR, VFR or Special VFR departures weighing less than 5,700 kg must climb straight ahead until at least 850 FT AMSL before turning. This also applies to circuit traffic.
Visual Approaches – Aircraft to carry out visual approaches should proceed as follows:
MTOW 5700 kg or less – join the final approach at not less than, and maintain, 836 (500) FT until intercepting the on glidepath PAPI indications
MTOW greater than 5700 kg – join the final approach before crossing the coastline. Any aircraft overflying the Island to position on final approach must do so at an altitude of not less than 1500 FT AMSL.
Circuit Joining and Training Height – Standard circuit height is 700 FT AAL.
Jet Aircraft Procedures – The Noise Preferential Routings and Procedures specified above will be used except that on 'going around', aircraft operating under IFR will, unless otherwise instructed, carry out the published missed approach procedure. Aircraft operating under VFR/SVFR will carry out a missed approach procedure as instructed by Air Traffic Control.
Training flights by approved ‘quiet’ jet aircraft may be permitted between 0800-2000 (0700-1900) Monday to Saturday inclusive (details from ATC).
All aircraft are to avoid overflying the Princess Elizabeth Hospital (2 NM ENE of the aerodrome) at less than 1000 FT AGL.
Chapter 2 aircraft are not permitted to use Guernsey Airport unless the operator has received special permission from Guernsey Airport.
Limitations of the use of Aircraft Auxiliary Power Units (APUs)
Pilots and engineers should limit the use of APUs whilst operating at Guernsey Airport. The following restrictions of use are in place:
All departing aircraft shall not start the APU more than 45 minutes before the scheduled off-block time (SOBT).
All arriving aircraft, the APU shall be shut down within 10 minutes of arrival.
During periods where the outside air temperature is below 5°C or above 25°C, the APU restriction for departing aircraft can be extended to 60 minutes before SOBT.
Where any fixed or mobile ground power units are not capable of providing sufficient or the correct power, the APU shall not be started more than 45 minutes before SOBT.
Any APU operation outside of the policy must receive explicit permission from Guernsey Airport.
Arrival routes at AD 2-EGJB-7-1 may be varied at the discretion of ATC.
A flight plan must be filed for all flights within and intending to transit the Channel Islands CTR. For flights between Guernsey and Alderney and vice versa, abbreviated flight plan details may be submitted on forms available at either aerodrome.
VFR clearance to operate within the Guernsey ATZ will not be granted if the reported visibility is less than 5 KM or the reported cloud ceiling is less than 1500 FT in accordance with SERA.5001.
Pilots must note that the Channel Island Director of Civil Aviation has not adopted the SERA derogations issued by the United Kingdom, and therefore they do not apply in Channel Island Airspace.
Aircraft shall be given a radar service whilst within Channel Islands Airspace. It is the responsibility of the pilot to comply with minimum VMC criteria in accordance with SERA.5001. Pilots must inform the Radar Controller if compliance with the above entails a change of heading or height.
VFR Flights may be subject to delay when they cannot be fitted readily into the main traffic flow. Pilots should, therefore, always ensure that they have adequate fuel reserves and are able to divert to alternate aerodrome if necessary.
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.
Prior Permission
A flight plan must be filed for all Special VFR flights within and intending to transit the Channel Islands CTR. For flights between Guernsey and Alderney and vice versa, abbreviated flight plan details may be submitted on forms available at either aerodrome.
Special VFR clearances for flights within the Channel Islands CTR may be requested and will be given whenever traffic conditions permit. Special VFR flights within the Guernsey ATZ will be subject to the general conditions laid down for Special VFR flights in SERA.5010. Pilots must note that the Channel Island Director of Civil Aviation has not adopted the SERA derogations issued by the United Kingdom, and therefore they do not apply in Channel Island Airspace.
Special VFR clearances for flights within the Channel Islands CTR may be requested and will be given whenever traffic conditions permit. These flights are subject to the general conditions laid down for Special VFR Flights.
The use of Special VFR clearances is intended to be limited to light aircraft which cannot comply with full IFR requirements and wish to proceed to or from an aerodrome within or to transit the Channel Islands CTR.
Special Routes
Aircraft operating in accordance with Special VFR will normally be cleared via the published VRPs or on tracks to/from adjacent aerodromes or navigation aids, or as per flight planned route.
Special VFR may be subject to delay when they cannot be fitted readily into the main traffic flow. Pilots should, therefore, always ensure that they have adequate fuel reserves and are able to divert to alternate aerodrome if necessary.
Weather Minima
Aircraft shall be given a radar service whilst within Channel Islands Airspace. It is the responsibility of the pilot to comply with minimum VMC criteria in accordance with SERA.5010. Pilots must inform the Radar Controller if compliance with the above entails a change of heading or height.
Special VFR clearances to operate within the Guernsey ATZ will not be granted to a fixed wing aircraft if the reported visibility is less than 1500 M or the reported cloud ceiling is less than 600 FT (SERA.5010).
Special VFR clearances to operate within the Guernsey ATZ will not be granted to a helicopter if the reported visibility is less than 800 M or the reported cloud ceiling is less than 600 FT (SERA.5010).
The Director of Civil Aviation has approved the issue of Special VFR clearances at night.
Pilots are to note that flight is not permitted at a height of less than 2000 FT above ground level within 3 NM of 492546N 0022145W on the Island of Sark (R095) except with the permission of the Channel Islands Director of Civil Aviation or from Guernsey ATC as necessary.
In the event of complete radio communication failure in an aircraft, the pilot will adopt the appropriate procedure notified at ENR 1.1 .
Radio Failure in the circuit
The pilot of an aircraft in the circuit experiencing radio failure should set the transponder code to 7600, and make one orbit away from the airfield. At the end of the downwind leg, proceed to final and land, providing the runway is clear.
The pilot of an aircraft on base leg or final, having been cleared to final when the failure occurs, should, if time permits, change code to 7600, continue the approach and land, providing the Runway is clear.
The pilot of a non transponder equipped aircraft should adopt the same procedure as in i), or ii).
See ENR 1.11.
Only available with ATC clearance.
