Use of the handling agent (Farnborough Airport Ops) is normally mandatory. If permission is granted to use the airport without use of the handling agent, while airside the aircraft commander is responsible for the safety of his/her passengers and other crew members. Passengers are at all times to be escorted by the aircraft commander or a crew member who is known to be competent to ensure both his/her safety and that of passengers. The commander/crew member escorting passengers is responsible for ensuring that a total ban on smoking whilst airside is strictly observed.
Conditions of use are available from Farnborough Airport Ops when requesting PPR.
The use of this airport by scheduled passenger services, inclusive tour charter flying and bulk freight flights is prohibited.
Operators should be aware that movements are restricted at weekends and Bank Holidays and in particular that surcharges will apply on these days in addition to landing fees (with a minimum charge applicable).
All aircraft will be charged an emissions levy. Contact Farnborough Airport Ops on +44 (0)1252-379002 for full details.
Aircraft are prohibited from departing and arriving outside the operational hours notified at EGLF AD 2.3 paragraph 1, and at any time on the 25 and 26 December.
Due to the operating restrictions in (f) above, inbound aircraft will be required to be at or below 4000 FT AMSL, and within 12 track miles to touchdown for the landing runway, by the relevant airport closure time minus 5 minutes. Approaches outside this criteria will not be accepted by the Aerodrome Authority.
All aircraft departing Farnborough must be airborne no later than the relevant aerodrome closure time. Should an aircraft intend to depart with less than 10 minutes prior to the aerodrome closing time, ATC will contact the pilot to advise of the time restriction. Aircraft requesting start up for departure less than 5 minutes prior to the aerodrome closing time will be declined by ATC. Aircraft requesting taxi for departure less than 3 minutes prior to the aerodrome closing time will be declined by ATC. Aircraft positioned on the East Apron for a Runway 24 departure may be issued start clearance provided there remains 3 minutes before the aerodrome closure and taxi clearance with 2 minutes before the aerodrome closure.
Flight plans naming Farnborough as the destination must not be filed until PPR is approved. Flight plans naming Farnborough as an alternate do not guarantee acceptance of diversion or granting of PPR. For short notice movements, including diversions, contact Farnborough Airport Operations on OPS channel 131.865. NOTAMs will be issued to notify when Farnborough is unavailable as an alternate.
Operators wishing to operate from Farnborough are required to ensure that Supplementary Flight Plan Information (Field 19 of the Flight Plan form) is submitted to Eurocontrol Integrated Flight Planning System (IFPS) for out of hours retrieval. See UK AIP ENR 1.10 Paragraphs 3.6.4 and 3.5 for details.
All departures from Farnborough filing FPLs to leave the IFPZ must utilise the re-addressing function available via IFPS (See IFPS Users Manual, Chapter 15).
West 2, West 3 and East Aprons are not available to aircraft that require to use a licensed aerodrome.
For environmental reasons, an instrument approach at Farnborough for the purpose of landing at an adjacent aerodrome without an instrument approach procedure is not available.
Only aircraft that are 8.33 kHz compliant will be accepted.
Engine start utilising cross bleed air is not available on the following aprons/ramps:
Hangar 1 - 10 Ramp;
Tower 4 - 6 Ramp;
Terminal Ramp (except for aircraft parked on Terminal Grass).
Arriving aircraft, including helicopters, must follow ATC instructions and report marshaller in sight. All pilots are to be familiar with the Aerodrome Chart - ICAO AD 2-EGLF-2-1.
Parking locations referred to as Ramps by ATC delineate location. Tower and Hangar Ramps are determined by the Hangar number the Ramp is outside/opposite and are referred to over the R/T as Tower x or Hangar x (where x is a number between 1 and 10 according to the aircraft parking/docking chart at AD 2-EGLF-2-2).
All aircraft parking in front of the terminal building will be marshalled nose in. All handling services will be carried out in this position. When ready for departure, all aircraft will be pushed back from the terminal to allow self manoeuvre for departure. Engine start-up will not be approved until push back is complete. Pilots must not call ATC for engine start until the push back crew have confirmed it is safe to do so.
In all parking positions, prior to starting engines, pilots must request approval from ATC. When calling for start, ramp position must be passed to ATC.
Pilots are to notify ATC prior to start-up if ground marshalling assistance is required for departure.
Aircraft taxiing from any ramp/apron must use minimum power until established on the taxiway centreline.
Due to the number of personnel and vehicles operating on the North Apron and West 1 Apron, pilots are to operate at minimum taxiing speed when approaching or transiting these areas.
Jet aircraft under power not permitted to use West 2 and West 3 Aprons.
Taxiway Yankee between South 1 Apron and South 2 Apron is not available to aircraft.
Runway stop-bars are active during operational hours. Standard stop-bar procedures apply.
Compass swing procedures are permitted at the designated site only, located on South 2 Apron. Aircraft requesting to reposition to the Compass Swing Base must receive a suitable clearance from ATC.
Farnborough 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 the met visibility/IRVR is 1500 M or below and/or cloud ceiling is 200 FT or below. Pilots of arriving aircraft should delay their 'runway vacated' call until they are clear of the coded taxiway centre-line lights.
During low visibility operations except where the aircraft operator has a lower state authorised take-off minima, the Aerodrome Authority cannot approve public transport departures in RVR conditions of less than 400 M. Operators of non public transport aircraft are advised that there is no runway centre-line lighting and that a departure in RVR conditions of less than 400 M is at the pilot's discretion.
Danger Areas EGD132, EGD133A and EGD133B are within 3 NM of the Eastern aerodrome boundary. On approach to Runway 24, the 3.5° GP is mandatory both for noise abatement purposes and to ensure safe clearance above Danger Areas EGD133A and EGD133B.
Traffic carrying out instrument approaches to Runway 27 at Odiham will pass approximately 2.5 NM South of Farnborough aerodrome at 2000 FT QNH or lower.
Turns onto base leg for Runway 06 will be given in close proximity to the edge of Controlled Airspace and intense Gliding Activity (operating outside of controlled airspace). Crews should respond to ATC turn instructions without delay, maintaining an expeditious rate of turn.
Low level turbulence and windshear may be encountered when the wind is from 190° to 240° at 15 KT or more within 0.5 NM from touchdown on Runway 24 (from crossing the main road to crossing Runway 24 threshold markings).
Aircraft under tow at night may not be displaying Nav/Anti-collision lights.
Where the taxiway width is less than the paved surface width, the portions outside the taxiway markings are not maintained and should not be used by aircraft.
Bird scaring takes place regularly including the use of pyrotechnics. Large birds including geese and heron are often seen on the aerodrome.
Oakhanger High Intensity Radio Transmission Area (HIRTA) is situated 8 NM south west of Farnborough.
Fairoaks Airport is situated 9 NM north east of Farnborough; Fairoaks departures may trigger TCAS warnings for Runway 24 instrument approach traffic.
Although Taxiway C has the appearance of a rapid exit turn-off, it is not configured as such, and pilots are reminded of the need for an acute left turn at the end of Taxiway C to access Taxiway B and North Apron.
Below FL 65 aircraft arriving/departing via the ATS route network can expect to operate within Class E airspace between ASLAP and 3 NM west of HAZEL/within 7.5 NM of GWC. ATC will not provide notification to pilots of entry to or exit from Class E airspace when the aircraft is transitioning from a higher classification of airspace.
Rotors running refuelling is not permitted.
Runway 06/24 restrictions:
Practice engine failures after take-off are not permitted on Runway 06.
Runway Occupancy
Departures. Whenever possible, cockpit checks should be completed prior to entering the runway and any checks requiring completion on the runway should be kept to a minimum. Pilots unable to comply with this requirement must inform ATC prior to lining up for departure.
The use of the aerodrome for training is generally restricted to home based aircraft; however, instrument training approaches by non-jet/turboprop fixed wing aircraft with a MTWA not exceeding 5700 KG may be accepted Mon-Fri 1000-1600 (0900-1500), subject to the approval of Farnborough ATC. All other requests for instrument or visual flying training are subject to prior approval by Farnborough Airport Ops.
Farnborough is located within a noise sensitive area and is subject to Local Authority Planning Requirements which impose a number of environmental constraints. Pilots are to ensure that their aircraft are operated in a manner likely to cause the least disturbance in the areas surrounding the aerodrome. A noise track monitoring system is in operation.
Only those aircraft meeting ICAO Chapter 4 criteria will be accepted. Contact Airport Director on +44 (0)1252-379007.
Pilots are to adhere to the published noise abatement procedures at all times unless deviation is required to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger or to comply with ATC instructions.
The operation of APUs is not permitted between Mon-Fri 2230-0630 (2130-0530), excluding PH, and Sat, Sun and PH 2030-0730 (1930-0630). At all other times APUs can be operated for a maximum one hour after arrival on apron and one hour prior to departure
Ground running of engines at idle power may take place on aprons during airport operational hours, subject to ATC approval. Ground running of engines above idle power may only take place Mon-Fri 0900-1800 (0800-1700) excluding PH. At weekends and PH, ground running of engines above idle power may only take place between the hours of 1000-1800 (0900-1700) and is restricted to essential maintenance work only. All engine ground runs above idle will be carried out on Taxiway Zulu. ATC must be notified prior to commencement and on cessation of all engine ground runs. In addition, request for engine ground runs at weekends and PH must be made to Farnborough Airport Ops via email.
General.
All departures are to use best rate of climb until at or above 3000 FT QNH. If the initial departure clearance involves levelling off below 3000 FT QNH, power settings used must not result in excessive noise levels at points on the ground underneath the flightpath, especially when climb is recommenced.
Standard Instrument Departures as detailed in AD 2-EGLF-6-1 to AD 2-EGLF-6-2 comply with required noise preferential routings.
Noise preferential routings are compatible with ATC requirements for those aircraft not departing on a Standard Instrument Departure. The tracks are to be flown by all departing jet/turboprop aircraft, and by all other aircraft of more than 2730 KG MTWA, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or unless deviations are required in the interests of safety.
Noise preferential routings may be cancelled by ATC using the phrase ‘cancel noise abatement’.
Noise Preferential Routings (NPRs) – Runway 06.
(All directions) Climb straight ahead to 2.4 DME, then turn on track or as instructed by ATC.
Noise Preferential Routings (NPRs) – Runway 24
North - Climb straight ahead to 3.4 DME, then turn on track or as instructed by ATC.
South - Climb straight ahead; after passing 1200 FT QNH fly ATC issued Radar heading. In the event an aircraft is departing without an ATC issued Radar heading (for example during Radar being unavailable) this is amended to climb straight ahead; at 2.4 DME or 1200 FT AMSL (whichever is sooner) turn left onto track 220° M or as directed by ATC. This is referred to by ATC as ‘Noise Preferential Route South’. Crews should note that a prompt turn at 1200 FT QNH is essential in order to remain outside the Odiham ATZ and areas of gliding activity.
General.
All departures are to use best rate of climb until at or above 3000 FT QNH. If the initial departure clearance involves levelling off below 3000 FT QNH, power settings used must not result in excessive noise levels at points on the ground underneath the flightpath, especially when climb is recommenced.
Standard Instrument Departures as detailed in AD 2.EGLF-6-1 to AD 2.EGLF-6-2 comply with required Noise Preferential Routings. Noise Preferential Routings cease at 3.4 DME on Runway 24 and at 2.4 DME on Runway 06.
Noise Preferential Routings are for all departing jet/turboprop aircraft, and all other aircraft of more than 2730 KG MTWA, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or unless deviations are required in the interests of safety.
Noise Preferential Routings may be cancelled by ATC using the phrase ‘cancel noise abatement’.
Non SID Departure Noise Preferential Routings (NPRs) - Runway 06.
(All directions) Climb straight ahead to 2.4 DME, then turn on track or as instructed by ATC.
Non SID Departure Noise Preferential Routings (NPRs) - Runway 24.
North - Climb straight ahead to 3.4 DME, then turn on track or as instructed by ATC.
South - Climb straight ahead; after passing 1200 FT QNH fly ATC issued Radar heading. In the event an aircraft is departing without an ATC issued Radar heading (for example during Radar being unavailable) this is amended to climb straight ahead; at 2.4 DME or 1200 FT AMSL (whichever is sooner) turn left onto track 219° M or as directed by ATC. This is referred to by ATC as ‘Noise Preferential Route South’. Crews should note that a prompt turn at 1200 FT QNH is essential in order to remain outside the Odiham ATZ and areas of gliding activity.
ILS approaches are mandatory except when a non-precision or visual approach is provided or authorised by ATC. The use of the ILS glidepath, if radiating, is recommended for all approaches.
All aircraft approaching to land or go-around from a visual or non-precision approach shall establish on final approach not below 1250 FT QNH (1000 FT AAL) and at not less than 3 NM from touchdown; thereafter aircraft shall follow a descent path which will not result in the aircraft being at any time lower than a 3.5° glidepath as indicated by the PAPIs or ILS unless authorised by Farnborough ATC.
Aircraft commanders are requested to minimise noise disturbance in the areas overflown during final approach by conforming to low power, low drag procedures at all times. Additionally the requirements in AD 2.22 Flight Procedures, paragraph 1(a) must be complied with.
To minimise disturbance in areas adjacent to the aerodrome, commanders of aircraft are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust at all times, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft. Where the use of reverse thrust is essential, the use of idle reverse thrust should be used in preference.
The following procedures may be modified for use during Farnborough International Ltd Airshow periods and will be notified by AIP Supplement and/or NOTAM.
Procedures For Inbound Aircraft
Aircraft inbound to Farnborough via the ATS Route Network that are compliant with and equipped to the RNAV 1 navigation standard must follow the appropriate Standard Arrival Routes (STAR) terminating at VEXUB as shown at AD 2-EGLF-7-1 to 7-2 (CPT 1V, KATHY 1V, ELDAX 1V & SOKDU 1V). Planning must be in accordance with the UK Standard Route Document (SRD) and UK Route Availability Document (RAD).
Aircraft inbound to Farnborough via the ATS Route Network that are compliant with and equipped to the RNAV 5 navigation standard must follow the appropriate Standard Arrival Routes (STAR) terminating at PEPIS as shown at AD 2-EGLF-7-3 to 7-4 (CPT 1P, ABSAV 1P & NOTGI 1P).
Below FL 65 aircraft arriving/departing via the ATS route network can expect to operate within Class E airspace between ASLAP and 3 NM West of HAZEL/within 7.5 NM of GWC. ATC will not provide notification to pilots of entry to or exit from Class E airspace when the aircraft is transitioning from a higher classification of airspace.
Instrument Approach Procedures are detailed at AD 2-EGLF-8-1 to 8-9.
Nominal glide path 3.5° mandatory for ALL approaches including non-precision and visual.
Loss of Communication Procedures
Aircraft inbound to Farnborough from the ATS route network issued with a STAR terminating at PEPIS (CPT 1P, ABSAV 1P, NOTGI 1P), should route to VEXUB via Initial Approach Procedures in AD 2-EGLF-7-9 RWY 06 and in AD 2-EGLF-7-10 RWY 24. Once at VEXUB, aircraft shall take up the hold for 10 minutes prior to carrying out the appropriate Instrument Approach Procedure as detailed in AD 2-EGLF 8-1, 8-2, 8-4, 8-5, 8-6 and 8-7.
Aircraft inbound to Farnborough not via the ATS Route Network should route via VEXUB, to be level 3000 FT ALT at VEXUB. Once at VEXUB, aircraft shall take up the hold for 10 minutes prior to carrying out the appropriate Instrument Approach Procedure as detailed in AD 2-EGLF 8-1, 8-2, 8-4, 8-5, 8-6 and 8-7.
Aircraft with a loss of communications in the missed approach phase should proceed to the VEXUB hold at 3000 FT. Once at VEXUB, aircraft shall take up the hold for 10 minutes prior to carrying out the appropriate Instrument Approach Procedure as detailed in AD 2-EGLF 8-1, 8-2, 8-4, 8-5, 8-6 and 8-7.
IFR flights are expected to carry out the full Instrument Approach Procedure and not proceed visually.
Loss of Radar at Farnborough
Due to the complex nature of the airspace in the vicinity of Farnborough, the use of Instrument Approach Procedures is dependent upon the availability of a Radar Service or ILS DME. In the event of Radar failure at Farnborough flights should proceed as directed by ATC.
Procedures For Outbound Aircraft
Standard Instrument Departure Procedures are detailed at AD 2-EGLF-6-1 to AD 2-EGLF-6-2.
Departure Speed Restriction:
In order to optimise the departure flow and assist in the separation between successive departing aircraft a speed limit of 250 KT IAS below FL 100 is applicable until removed by ATC. ATC may remove the speed restriction by using the phrase ‘No ATC Speed Restriction’. Pilots are reminded that this phrase does not relieve the pilot of the responsibility to adhere to the ground track of the Noise Preferential Route, which may require a speed/power limitation.
If for any reason pilots are unable to comply with the 250 KT IAS speed restriction the pilot should immediately advise ATC and state the minimum speed acceptable. If a pilot anticipates before departure that they will be unable to comply with the speed restriction, they should inform ATC when requesting start-up clearance, stating the minimum speed acceptable. In this case the pilot will be informed before take-off of any higher speed limitation.
Below FL 65 aircraft arriving/departing via the ATS route network can expect to operate within Class E airspace between ASLAP and 3 NM west of HAZEL/within 7.5 NM of GWC. ATC will not provide notification to pilots of entry to or exit from Class E airspace when the aircraft is transitioning from a higher classification of airspace.
In order to provide improved ATC handling of flights inbound to or outbound from these aerodromes via the ATS Route network a system of standard routes has been established and these are published in the UK Standard Route Document (SRD) which can be found here:
http://www.nats.aero/ais.
Warnings
Due to intense gliding activity pilots should avoid flying within 2.5 NM of Lasham aerodrome below 5000 FT ALT. When available Farnborough Radar will provide navigational assistance as necessary.
Pilots are reminded of the proximity of Oakhanger High Intensity Radio Transmission Area (HIRTA) (see UK AIP ENR 5.3) and Danger Areas in the vicinity.
Below FL 65 aircraft arriving/departing via the ATS route network can expect to operate within Class E airspace between ASLAP and 3 NM west of HAZEL/within 7.5 NM of GWC. ATC will not provide notification to pilots of entry to or exit from Class E airspace when the aircraft is transitioning from a higher classification of airspace.
Flight Plans
Pilots wishing to fly via the ATS Route Network and who are inbound to or departing from Dunsfold, Lasham or Odiham are to flight plan via the appropriate routes detailed in paras (d)(i) and (e)(i).
Inbound Aircraft
IFR Arrivals
Standard Arrival Routes (STARs) for aircraft inbound from the UK ATS Route Network are detailed at AD 2-EGLF-7-1 to 7-4.
Note: See also UK Standard Route Document (available online from the NATS/AIS website: www.nats.aero/ais).
For loss of Communication purposes the Clearance Limit is either PEPIS or VEXUB dependent on the STAR issued.
Inbound Procedures
After leaving controlled airspace pilots will be provided with a service outside controlled airspace in accordance with UK FIS by Farnborough Radar during the notified operating hours shown at AD 2.18. A contact frequency will be given by the appropriate ATSU.
When Farnborough Radar is closed or unable to provide a service, pilots will be instructed to leave controlled airspace at an appropriate point and are then to proceed to their destination aerodrome by a route which remains clear of controlled airspace.
Loss of Communication Procedures (inbound aircraft)
Aircraft should descend to leave controlled airspace and proceed to the destination aerodrome in accordance with the Basic Loss of Communication Procedures detailed at ENR 1.1 paragraph 3.4.
Departing Aircraft
Routes
A joining clearance is to be requested for the first ATS Significant Point in the routes detailed in the UK SRD. These routes are not assessed for obstacle clearance and do not constitute Standard Instrument Departure procedures.
Pilots who wish to join the ATS Route Network at points other than CPT, GWC or HAZEL should flight plan to join the ATS Route Network when clear of the London TMA.
Note: Pilots should be aware that the provision of ATS may be limited for any flight outside CAS. This is due to the large number of locations from which extensive VFR/IFR operations take place in this constrained area.
Pilots should therefore take into account a potential lack of available ATS outside CAS and anticipate the extended time that may be required to operate outside CAS before any joining clearance can be provided.Additionally, requests made to LTC Swanwick to join CAS prior to the boundary of the London TMA may be declined due to sector workload and it should also be noted that below FL 70 a Basic Service is the only ATS available from LTC Swanwick TMA controllers.
| Departure to | Via | Route | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | CPT | As per UK SRD | Includes departures to EGGW, EGSC, EGSG, EGSS and EGSU |
| Northeast | |||
| West | |||
| Northwest | |||

Procedures
Pilots are to ensure that they have received and acknowledged a joining clearance before entering controlled airspace.
The ATSU at the departure aerodrome will notify the pending departure to London Terminal Control (Swanwick) (LTC Swanwick)). Clearance to enter controlled airspace may not be passed to the aircraft prior to departure.
The ATSU at the departure aerodrome will co-ordinate the departure with Farnborough ATC.
Farnborough ATC will provide radar services as appropriate and co-ordinate entry into the London TMA . The appropriate ‘Farnborough Radar’ frequency is 134.355 MHz.
If Farnborough Radar is closed or is unable to provide a radar service outside controlled airspace the ATSU at the departure aerodrome will transfer the aircraft directly to the appropriate London Terminal Control Sector and the pilot must request clearance to join controlled airspace. The appropriate ‘London Control’ frequencies are: 134.125 MHz for routes via CPT and SAM, and133.180 MHz for routes via GWC.
Pilots are reminded of the need to comply with any Air Traffic Flow Management measures in force at the time.
Loss of Communication Procedures (outbound aircraft)
Pilots should adopt the Loss of Communication Procedures detailed at ENR 1.1, paragraph 3.4.
Flights which have not received an ATC clearance to enter controlled airspace should not enter controlled airspace unless an overriding safety reason compels entry.
Visual Circuit Procedures
Compliance with the Noise Abatement Requirements at AD 2.21 para (d) is mandatory for all aircraft.
All circuits on Runway 06/24 will be to the south of the aerodrome (ie Runway 06, right hand circuits; Runway 24, left hand circuits).
Aircraft over 2730 KG MTWA: minimum altitude 1700 FT AMSL (1500 FT AGL) until turning onto base leg.
Aircraft less than 2730 KG MTWA: minimum altitude 1200 FT AMSL (1000 FT AGL).
Pilots must avoid overflying the congested area 2 NM west of the aerodrome below 1700 FT ALT unless specifically authorised by ATC.
Departing Traffic
Noise abatement procedures notified in AD 2.21 apply to all departures both IFR and VFR.
VFR Departures
VFR departures are permitted however, ATC may issue a required routing or assigned initial heading to avoid noise sensitive areas and other aerodromes. The restriction notified in 'Visual Circuit Procedures' para (v) above must be complied with.
Arriving Traffic
IFR Arrivals
STARs for aircraft inbound from the UK ATS Route network are detailed at AD 2-EGLF-7-1, 7-2, 7-3 etc.
See section 1 a) for information on Procedures for Inbound Aircraft.
VFR Arrivals
VFR arrivals will be given an appropriate clearance to join controlled airspace pertinent to the prevailing traffic conditions and runway in use.
Helicopters are to be operated in accordance with the British Helicopter Advisory Board (BHAB) code of conduct at all times when operating to or from Farnborough Airport.
Arrival Procedures
On first contact pilots shall advise ATC as to whether they require an IFR or a VFR approach. Due to the noise sensitivity of the areas surrounding Farnborough, the preferred approach for helicopters during daylight hours is VFR; however instrument approaches are available on request.
IFR
Standard instrument approach to Runway 06 or 24.
VFR
Visual approaches to Runway 06 or 24 are only permitted when flown in accordance with UK AIP EGLF AD 2.21 - NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES, Section 4 Arrivals. Delays may occur when ILS approaches are being carried out.
To minimise delays and noise disturbance helicopter routing to or from Farnborough, VFR, should follow one of four established routes:
aa. WEST ROUTE: From/To the West:
Join and follow the Basingstoke - Woking railway line to 'North Gate', then route towards the Northern aerodrome boundary via Southwood Country Park avoiding built up areas (See Note 1).
bb. NORTH ROUTE: From/To the North:
Join and follow the M3 until 'North Gate', then route towards the Northern aerodrome boundary via Southwood Country Park avoiding the built up areas (See Note 1).
cc. EAST ROUTE: From/To the East:
Route from Worplesdon Railway Station to Longerend Farm on the A324 and then to Surprise Hill. From Surprise Hill route west to join the Basingstoke Canal where it passes under the B3411 and railway bridges (Two Bridges). Follow the canal to the southern end of Queens Parade, then towards the Queens Roundabout for Runway 24 or towards the southern aerodrome boundary via the Army Golf Course for Runway 06 and Heli Yankee (See Notes 2 and 3).
dd. SOUTH ROUTE: From/To the South and Southwest:
Route to the A31/A331 junction (The Junction) avoiding the built up areas around Farnham. Follow the A331 to join the Basingstoke canal where it crosses over the dual carriageway then to the southern edge of Queens parade and then towards the Queens Roundabout for Runway 24 or towards the southern aerodrome boundary via the Army Golf Course for Runway 06 or Heli Yankee (See Notes 2 and 3).
Note 1: 'North Gate' is the unpopulated area between Fleet Pond VRP and M3 Junction 4A. Helicopters are not permitted to overfly the terminal building and must maintain at least 1700 FT QNH if they require to fly over any part of the QinetiQ site, Southwood or Fleet.
Note 2: The section of the East Route between Longerend Farm and Surprise Hill comes close to the southern edge of EGD132. Normally it is active to 500 FT AGL and it is the pilot's responsibility to remain outside the Danger Area. If EGD132 is notified as active above this level then this route will be closed by NOTAM. Pilots will be instructed to either follow the Woking to Basingstoke railway line to join via North gate, or to use the South Route, depending on traffic.
Note 3: Helicopters must avoid overflying all built up areas below 1700 FT AMSL unless instructed by ATC. Pilots may be instructed to route to Heli Yankee to hold on the ground if there is fixed-wing traffic arriving or departing.
Two helicopter aiming points are established at Farnborough Aerodrome:
Heli Foxtrot, that part of 'F' taxiway between F3 and the entrance to West 2 apron;
Heli Yankee, the centre of South 2 apron.
Pilots should avoid overflying aircraft parked on South 1 apron. Helicopter Aiming Points are located on areas that are accessed by vehicles under a 'free ranging' procedure. Pilots to be aware of possible vehicle activity. Landing clearance from ATC will be in the form 'Land at your discretion'.
Departure Procedures
Departures must take place from Runway 06/24, Heli Foxtrot or Heli Yankee
IFR
ATC will allocate a transponder code, along with an assigned heading and altitude, which will ensure deconfliction from other traffic and compliance with noise abatement procedures.
VFR
Outbound routings must comply with noise abatement procedures, and are the reverse of the inbound routes

Pilots are reminded of the close proximity of busy minor aerodromes, ATZs, intense gliding activity and Danger Areas in the airspace beneath the London TMA. Pilots are strongly advised to request a Lower Airspace Radar Service from Farnborough ATC when operating in the vicinity of Farnborough aerodrome. Pilots of Police and Ambulance helicopters operating within 20 NM of Farnborough should contact Farnborough Approach on 134.355 MHz during the notified hours of that frequency.
Eastbound helicopters intending to join Helicopter Route H3 in the London Control Zone should use the following line features: railway line then the M3 Motorway to Bagshot VRP.
Pilots are advised that the VRP Bagshot is located approximately 1 NM south-east of Bagshot Mast.
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.
Intense VFR glider/motorglider activity takes place during daylight hours in the vicinity of RAF Odiham up to 4000 FT AMSL, within the area bounded by:
510854.41N 0005646.07W - 511143.02N 0005850.73W -
thence clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 4.7168 NM centred on
511255.8135N 0005135.9280W -
511705.24N 0005507.85W - 511434.5868N 0005329.8848W -

511313.8667N 0005340.0613W - 510854.41N 0005646.07W.
See diagram at AD 2-EGLF-4-2. Departing aircraft to be aware this area is 1 NM NW of the nominal track of the GWC 2F and HAZEL 2F SIDs.
Operations at Blackbushe are carried out within a portion of Farnborough CTR1 by means of a Local Flying Area. This area is defined as:
511738.23N 0005214.70W
thence clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 2 NM centred on
511926.00N 0005051.00W -
511751.5673N 0005248.7658W - 511934.5146N 0004740.1885W -
thence clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 2 NM centred on
511926.00N 0005051.00W -
511805.75N 0004828.90W - 511801.30N 0004919.04W -

511746.42N 0005120.47W - 511738.23N 0005214.70W.
(Also as that part of the Blackbushe ATZ that is coincident with Farnborough CTR1), from the surface to 2000 FT AMSL and is shown on diagram at AD 2-EGLF-4-2. Operations may be VFR or SVFR whilst in communication with the Blackbushe ATSU promulgated frequency, and those aircraft operating SVFR will not be required to be separated from one another. SVFR operations will be regarded as separated from other SVFR operations within the Farnborough CTR1 and CTR2 remaining south of the M3 motorway or East of the A331 Dual Carriageway and IFR operations established on the ILS for Runway 06/24 and departing on a GWC 2L/F or HAZEL 2L/F SIDs.
Pilots operating in the Farnborough LARS West area of responsibility, but intending to remain outside Class A to D airspace within the area bounded by the following coordinates and maintaining a listening watch only on Farnborough LARS West frequency, 125.250 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 4572.
514352N 0010616W - thence anti-clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 30 NM centred on 511631N 0004639W to
511218N 0013355W - 511031N 0012021W -
510648N 0010232W - 505836N 0005856W -
505302N 0005800W - 504932N 0010718W -
thence anti-clockwise by the arc of a circle radius 30 NM centred on 511631N 0004639W to
504754N 0003238W - 505832N 0003428W -
510314N 0003730W - 511422N 0003506W -
512335N 0005516W - 513444N 0005508W -
514015N 0005348W - 514352N 0010616W.
Selection of 4572 does not imply the receipt of an ATC service. Pilots of 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 Class A to D airspace at all times.
Pilots of aircraft displaying 4572 Frequency Monitoring Code must operate VFR within Class E airspace applicable to Farnborough CTA 8 and 9.
Whilst squawking 4572, pilots should be aware that Farnborough Radar may make blind transmissions in order to ascertain a particular aircraft's intentions/route.
When a pilot ceases to maintain a listening watch, code 4572 shall be deselected.
