All aircraft are required to request start up from ATC.
Pilots are reminded that all flights wishing to depart Sumburgh must, in accordance with the requirements of Class D airspace, notify ATC. This may be in the form of a filed flight plan or contact with Sumburgh ATS via landline prior to departure.
The centre-line of the northern taxiway is diverted to the south side of the 46 M wide pavement. The edge of the usable taxiway (width 18 M) is marked by blue edge lights and blue reflective markers. Green reflective studs mark the centre-line. Pilots are reminded to adhere to the marked centre-line. A separate vehicle route is marked on the north side of part of the northern taxiway.
No ground signals except light signals.
Aircraft Parking
Sumburgh operates a parking policy which considers: customs requirements, duration of stay and type of flight. Fixed wing aircraft will be marshalled and may be required to reposition due to operational requirements.
Helicopters will be allocated spots by ATC. Helicopters that require to shutdown should inform Sumburgh Tower at the earliest opportunity, they may be required to reposition to a remote part of the apron.
Use of Sumburgh aerodrome is subject to standard Terms and Conditions of Use, which can be requested from the aerodrome.
Full ATC clearance is available from EOBT - 15 minutes. Departing aircraft are required to state stand/spot number on initial contact with Sumburgh Tower.
Not applicable
During strong wind conditions turbulence may be expected on approach to, or climb out from, any runway.
Bird colonies are active throughout the year, particularly during the nesting season. Concentrations of birds may be encountered in the vicinity of cliffs and beaches and over the sea.
A coastguard and support helicopter operates from Sumburgh and will be given appropriate priority over other traffic when operating on search and rescue duties. These operations may take place throughout the 24 hour period using the call sign 'Rescue'.
Unlit mast erected on Scousburgh Hill, 5 NM north of the aerodrome approximate height 220 FT AGL, 1085 FT AMSL.
Pilots will observe that a main road crosses the Runway 09 undershoot immediately before the painted threshold. A barrier system closes the public road. These barriers must be closed before any fixed wing aircraft can land or depart.
Helicopters are treated as fixed-wing traffic and should normally ground taxi, unless skid equipped between the runways and parking areas. In adverse weather conditions and during snow clearing operations, air taxiing may be permitted by ATC. Only one helicopter at any one time may air taxi on any one apron. Pilots may request an air taxi if required.
Rotors running refuelling of helicopters with passengers on board is only permitted during exceptionally severe wind conditions, and with the permission of ATC. Rotors-running refuelling is only permitted on helicopter spots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Spot 4 may only be used by S92s for rotors-running refuelling in exceptional circumstances.
With the exception of helicopters, night landings are not permitted on Runways 15 and 33 except in an emergency. Night take-offs from Runways 15 and 33 are restricted to operators with procedures accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The helicopter Runway 06/24 is not to be used by fixed-wing aircraft.
More than one runway may be lightedt, and in use, at any one time.
Except for locally based SAR helicopters, out of hours indemnity is not permitted.
The thresholds of Runways 09 and 27 are positioned 135 M and 120 M respectively from concrete sea-defenses and the open sea.
RVR Conditions
Runway 09/27. Except where an AOC holder has a less restrictive State authorised take-off minima, departures in RVR conditions of less than 400 M are not permitted.
Runway 15/33. Except where an AOC holder has a less restrictive State authorised take-off minima, departures when the reported MET visibility is 400 M or less are not permitted.
Helicopter Runway 06/24. Except where an AOC holder has a less restrictive State authorised take-off minima, departures when the reported MET visibility is 800 M or less are not permitted.
Pilots will observe that a main road crosses the Runway 09 undershoot immediately before the painted threshold. The road is closed by staffed barriers prior to any movement requiring the closure of the road.
Not applicable
Helicopters requiring to hover for long periods for test purposes should be directed to a location where they will cause least disturbance to residential areas.
Military Practice Diversions
Practice diversion approaches by high energy jet aircraft should, whenever possible, be made to Runway 09/27.
Exceptionally, when traffic conditions prevent an approach to Runway 09/27, an approach to Runway 33 may be authorised. When aircraft are carrying out a missed approach from Runway 33 or overflying the aerodrome they are given specific instructions to prevent them from overflying the village of Toab.
The village of Toab is particularly vulnerable to noise from aircraft and approaches to Runway 15 by high energy jet aircraft are not normally permitted.
In the event of complete radio communication failure in an aircraft, the pilot will adopt the appropriate procedure notified at ENR 1.1 General Rules, section 3.4 Radiotelephony, Radio Failure and Loss of Communication Procedures. The route to be used when leaving the airspace in accordance with these procedures is as follows:
In the event of a communications failure ATS will issue instructions to aircraft and vehicles using visual signals by the use of an ALDIS lamp. These signals will be displayed in accordance with guidelines issued in the CAP 637 Visual Aids Hand Book.

Procedures for helicopter operations in the Sumburgh CTR/CTA are detailed at ENR 1.6.
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.
Due to the proximity of the Shanwick Oceanic boundary to Sumburgh, pilots must consider timescales for submitting an ’RCL’. Refer to ENR 2.2, paragraph 3.8.2 for details.
Approach and Approach Radar Services for Sumburgh Airport are provided from Aberdeen ATSU. If this service is not available during published hours, the CTR/CTA airspace will revert to Class G status. In the event, this will be promulgated by NOTAM.
Aircraft operators are responsible for the searching of any aircraft parked either overnight or within the demarcated area prior to departure.
