Booking out details should be passed by telephone: 01603-420641. Calls on RTF may result in delays.
All aircraft using Norwich aerodrome or its facilities, are required to have third party liability insurance cover in the sum of at least £1,000,000. Proof of this insurance should be available for inspection at any time whilst the aircraft is at Norwich aerodrome.
Extension charges apply after published AD HR.
All persons on the manoeuvring and apron areas at Norwich Airport must wear high visibility clothing as it is designed to be worn, at all times.
Pilots/Crew wearing high visibility clothing are permitted to escort passengers not wearing the required clothing. Apart from when carrying out aircraft walk round inspections, pilots/crew must keep to designated walkways and pedestrian crossings when on the terminal apron for their own safety. This also applies to passengers under pilot/crew escort. No pedestrian movement is permitted between the terminal and stand 7 parking area. Transport will be provided upon request.
Norwich Airport is PPR for all visiting aircraft movements. PPR can be obtained directly from Norwich Airport ATC on 01603-420641 or your Norwich based handling agent. PPR is required a minimum of 60 minutes prior to ETA. Scheduled flights are not affected by this requirement.
Push-backs: Jet powered aircraft over 45,000 KG AUW on Stands 4, 5 or 6 will be pushed-back and pulled forward as part of the pre-taxi manoeuvre. Due to jet blast safety distances, engine start is not to commence until instructed by the ground crew. This will normally be during the pull forward phase of the procedure.
Code D aircraft shall expect to use Taxiway Charlie only.
Large aircraft are to use the turning circles at either end as appropriate.
The Western Apron is only to be used by resident operators and their authorised visitors. Visiting aircraft shall park under marshaller’s instruction. There are 5 helicopter parking stands on the Western Apron. Stands 20 and 21 on the western half at the northern end of the Western Apron for use by the Air Ambulance only, D value maximum of 13.63 M. Stand 22 on the western half in the middle of the Western Apron is a taxi-through helicopter stand. Stands 23 and 24 on the eastern half at the southern end of the Western Apron, D value maximum of 16.66 M.
All visiting aircraft to Hangars 2 and 3 via the Eastern Apron should be aware there is a gate with limiting dimensions on exiting the Eastern Apron towards Hangars 2 and 3. Operators should contact the host tenant company for further details and dimensions. The gate is removable provided sufficient notice of an aircraft movement is received by the host Tenant company.
Eastern Apron Gate - Aircraft access to non-airside tenant companies. With access gate in situ and fully open the measured clearance distances are:
19.75 M with no obstacle between the gates;
from centre-line to EAST, 9.8 M; first obstacle is gate height 1.2 M;
from centre-line to WEST, 9.95 M; first obstacle is gate height 1.0 M.
Commanders of visiting Code B aircraft to the SaxonAir apron will be marshalled if entry is via E1 and the Code A Echo taxilane.
Aircraft when operating on and off aprons and taxiing to/from hold point Papa, shall use MINIMUM thrust/idle power to avoid jet blast risk in the vicinity.
All Visiting Aircraft: Engine Start shall only be conducted when a qualified start crew are in attendance. All engine starts must be in compliance with current Norwich Airport Procedures. Note: Aircraft starting on Stand 7 require a Norwich Airport start crew.
Low Visibility Operations in force when MET visibility is 1500 M or less. If the IRVR is 400 M or less, entry to the runway will be via A2 and C2 only. For all other departures, a ‘Follow-Me’ vehicle will be provided.
Blue Taxiway edge lights between Holding Point B1 and Runway 09/27 edge unserviceable. Holding Point B1 closed during night and low visibility operations.
Flying takes place by light aircraft and microlights from Felthorpe aerodrome (4 NM NW of ARP at *524200N 0011200E) occasionally throughout the year with increased activity during the summer months.
At both ends of Runway 09/27 its width is twice that of the associated edge lights due to extra pavement at one side. Aircraft backtracking the runway and conducting a 180 degree turn, shall ensure on completion of the turn, correct alignment with the runway centre-line.
During Low Visibility Procedures, one fire engine is positioned west of Hold Bravo 1 and another fire engine is positioned west of Hold Delta 1.
The following bird hazards have been identified within 4 KM of the airfield:
Around the aerodrome at dawn and dusk birds are observed transiting the airspace to various feeding/roosting locations.
2.5 KM N at St. Faiths, 2.5 KM NE at Spixworth and 4 KM E at Rackheath; these locations are pig farms which attract a variety of birds up to an estimated 1500 FT AGL.
Perimeter of aerodrome up to 2 KM S, nesting gulls on building roofs presents bird activity during the day, predominantly April – September, and are known to overfly the aerodrome on a north/south track below 500 FT AGL.
1.5 KM N at St. Faiths, rooks are known to transit between this rookery and the aerodrome to feed/roost.
1 KM SW at Hellesdon, racing pigeons flying low level during the day are on occasions observed crossing the runway/flight path.
Numerous flocks of birds have been observed crossing the approaches to Runway 09/27 at dawn and dusk within 1.5 NM of touchdown.
Helicopter winch training is conducted on the north side of the AD.
If a ground taxiing aircraft requires a brake test, this shall take place only on that portion of concrete Taxiway A parallel to Runway 27/09 between Holding Point B1 and A2.
Wind Shear and turbulence can occur on final approach to Runway 27 during periods of strong southerly or south westerly winds.
Unlit crane 150 M south of the terminal, up to 215 FT AGL.
Eastern Apron: 10 floodlight stanchions up to 115 FT AGL.
Caution - Helicopter activity takes place outside of AD published hours.
Surface wind observations for Runway 09 operations derived from the mid point anemometer.
Caution - Bright flood lighting at sports ground 1.5 NM final Runway 27.
Care should be exercised when arriving at EGSH from the south, to ensure alignment with the specified runway; Taxiway C is no longer a runway but is now an active taxiway.
All taxiway edge lights north of Runway 09/27 unserviceable.
Light helicopters are not required to use the runways but arrivals and departures should be operated in such a way as to avoid overflying of, and to minimise the disturbance to, local residential areas.
Air taxiing on the main apron is not permitted except with the approval of ATC and under the guidance of a Marshaller.
Departures direct from the SaxonAir Apron and associated stands are prohibited.
Daily Helimed Operations take place outside of AD operating hours.
Variable circuits in operation.
Normally no overhead joins are permitted.
Circuit and Instrument training is only available by prior arrangement with ATC and subject to local traffic and the runway in use. Normal circuit heights are 1000 FT QFE for aircraft up to 5700 KG and 1500 FT QFE for aircraft over 5700 KG.
Due to the number of aircraft using the airport for instrument training a booking system is in operation. Training periods can be booked by application to ATC Tel: 01603-420641. The filing of a flight plan does not constitute a booking to carry out instrument training at the airport. Failure to make a booking may result in the aircraft being refused use of the facilities. Pilots unable to make the booked time must inform ATC either to cancel the slot or to re-book.
Aircraft wishing to make training approaches (non-landing) are to contact the preferred handling agents, SaxonAir on 01603-510111 to book in. There is no requirement to call ATC.
Operators of all aircraft using Norwich Aerodrome are to ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in the areas surrounding the aerodrome.
Where operationally possible, pilots should endeavour to avoid overflight of the town of Taverham situated 2 miles west of the airport.
When taking off, aircraft shall climb as steeply as minimum engine noise settings allow and when approaching to land, without the assistance of ILS, shall follow a descent path which will not result in their being at any time lower than the normal 3° GP.
Pilots of arriving jet aircraft and turbo-prop aircraft and aircraft in excess of 5700 KG should arrange their flights to be established on final approach to a runway not below 1500 FT AAL.
All aircraft other than IFR helicopters to the Southern North Sea (see below):
On departure from any runway, all aircraft are to climb straight ahead to 1000 FT AAL before turning, unless instructed otherwise by ATC.
Departure aircraft less than 5700 KG AUW - may be permitted to make a turn to the north of the aerodrome at 500 FT AAL.
Departures overflying the EHAA FIR via the UK North Sea are to flight plan via BODSO - L17 - MOLIX and then appropriate routes for destination.
Any aircraft requiring an air test which will be climbing to FL 190 or higher must have each individual flight approved by London Military. Pre-notification to London Military is required 24 hours prior to the flight taking place and it is the responsibility of the aircraft operator to ensure compliance with this requirement. London Military can be contacted on Tel: 01489-612408. If pre-notification is not completed start clearance may be delayed or withheld. All air tests must have a correctly filed flight plan which clearly and unambiguously states the nature and requirements of the flight and must include London Military as one of the addressees. A GAT Flight Plan into and routing along airways for the sole purpose of a flight test IS NOT acceptable. Norwich ATC can provide further information if required.
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.
Clearance may be requested for Special VFR flight within the Norwich Control Zone and will be given whenever the traffic situation permits.
Special VFR clearance may include routing and maximum altitude instructions.
Pilots are reminded that they must at all times when operating on Special VFR clearance, remain clear of cloud and in sight of the surface and in flight conditions which will enable them to determine their flight path and keep clear of obstacles. Radar vectoring will not normally be applied to aircraft operating on Special VFR clearance.
VFR flights in the CTR/CTAs may be given routing instructions and/or altitude restrictions in order to integrate VFR flights with other traffic.
Pilots should anticipate routing instructions in relation to the Visual Reference Points (VRPs) detailed in paragraph 3.
Pilots of VFR flights are reminded of the requirement to remain in VMC at all times and to advise ATC if at any time they are unable to comply with the clearances as issued.
Pilots operating in the vicinity of, but intending to remain outside the Norwich controlled airspace within a 20 NM radius of the airport and maintaining a listening watch only on Norwich Radar frequency, 119.355 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 7350.
Selection of 7350 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 Norwich controlled airspace at all times.
Whilst squawking 7350, pilots should be aware that Norwich 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 7350 shall be deselected.
