The heliport is PPR only. Requests for landing must be made only by owners and operators to the operations department (not ATC).
All pilots must have conducted a familiarisation flight with an approved pilot and have signed acceptance of the heliport’s arrangements and conditions of use, be familiar with marshalling signals at SERA Appendix 1, and comply with them. If unable to comply, stop, hold position and advise ATC. An alternative course of action will be offered.
The flight platform is to be used for all arrivals and departures. The take-off climb and approach surfaces are off-set by 15° away from the shoreline.
Aircraft must not overfly shipping that is within 100 M of the flight platform.
ATC permission required to start and shut down rotors.
ATC permission required for all manoeuvres including taxi and hover.
Taxi speeds should be kept at a minimum due to downwash.
Aircrew should exercise caution within the circuit and on approaches and climb outs due to:
Turbulence - Associated with strong winds & tall buildings;
Cranes - Continuing redevelopment of land in the vicinity of the heliport changing the built environment;
Birds - Various species are attracted to the local river environment.
Flights for the purpose of flying training are not permitted at the heliport.
All approaches and departures over the river.
No manoeuvres other than actual approach and take-off may be carried out below 500 ft agl.
Maintain circuit height until descending to land, after departure, climb to circuit height as soon as possible.
For inbound and departing helicopters, the weather minima for the London Heliport are a reported Heliport meteorological visibility of 1000 M or greater and a cloud ceiling of 600 FT AGL or greater.
Inbound and departure routeings via the Local Flying Area require a minimum flight visibility of 3 KM. When the flight visibility is less than 3 KM, helicopters may access the Heliport via the helicopter routes provided that the flight visibility and Heliport meteorological visibility are at least 1000 M.
See EGLL AD 2.22 for details of helicopter procedures within the London CTR and London City CTR.
Circuit height is 1000 FT AMSL.
The traffic circuit is a non-standard shape. The circuit is established over the River Thames, between Chelsea Bridge and Putney Railway Bridge. Crosswind and base legs are reduced to turns, which should be made, as far as practicable, over the river and above 500 FT AGL.
Circuit pattern follows the course of the river as shown on the diagram on page AD 3-EGLW-4-1. The circuit may be extended at the discrection of ATC only. Circuit must not extend west of Putney Railway Bridge or east of Chelsea Bridge.
Do not fly above 1000 FT AMSL unless instructed by ATC.
Inbound aircraft MUST establish radio contact with Battersea Tower before entering the Local Flying Area, advising total number of people on board and fuelling requirements on first contact with ATC.
Aircraft inbound or outbound on direct tracks must comply with altitude restrictions as shown on the diagram on page AD 3-EGLW-4-1.
The airspace forming that part of the London CTR and London City CTR up to 1300 FT AMSL bounded by: 512054N 0001200W - 512657N 0001317W - thence clockwise by an arc of a circle radius 2 NM centred on 512812N 0001046W (Heliport) to 512706N 0000806W - thence clockwise by an arc of a circle radius 12 NM centred on 512812N 0002713W (Heathrow Airport) to 512054N 0001200W.
Note 1: Pilots must remain outside Restricted Areas R157 and R158 unless in possession of an Enhanced Non-Standard Flight approval as detailed at ENR 1.1 para 4.1.6.
Note 2: Due to the restrictions on single engine helicopters over London, inbound and outbound routings via the LFA are only available to multi-engine helicopters.
Subject to ATC Clearance from Battersea Tower, VFR or Special VFR flights may take place subject to the following conditions:
Aircraft to remain below cloud with the surface in sight;
Maximum altitude: VFR 1300 FT QNH; SVFR 1000 FT QNH;
Minimum flight visibility: 3 KM.
Note 1: In addition to paragraph (b), VFR flights must also comply with the VMC minima for Class D airspace detailed at ENR 1.2.
Note 2: Aircraft unable to operate VFR may operate Special VFR within the LFA subject to the conditions in paragraph (b) and the requirements for Special VFR flights detailed at ENR 1.2.
RTF Communication
Pilots must obtain an ATC clearance from Battersea Tower prior to entering the LFA.
Due to the frequency DOC restrictions, pilots should only call Battersea Tower for entry clearance when south of the London CTR and London City CTR and within 10 NM of the heliport.
In the event that R/T contact with Battersea Tower cannot be established, pilots must contact Heathrow Radar on 125.625 MHz.
Pilots must accurately observe the LFA boundaries, particularly in the vicinity of Banstead due to helicopters entering and leaving the London CTR via helicopter route H7 under the control of Heathrow Radar.
Pilots routing via the LFA will be instructed by Battersea Tower to squawk the heliport conspicuity SSR code 7077 and must also select Altitude Mode.
Pilots are requested to report when they are visual with other traffic to Battersea Tower as soon as possible in order to expedite traffic flows.
Battersea Tower may be unaware of traffic within controlled airspace or outside controlled airspace that is operating immediately adjacent to the LFA, and neither traffic information nor separation will be provided on/from such traffic. Pilots are reminded to be vigilant with respect to such traffic when leaving the LFA.
Pilots must report leaving controlled airspace and must report leaving the Battersea Tower frequency before passing 10 NM from the heliport.
Inbound aircraft experiencing radio failure should hold on the north bank of the river and await light signals from the tower.
ATC may instruct aircraft to fly to the north or south side of the river in order to be separated from traffic on the opposite side of the river. Aircraft may deviate from the centre of the river as far as required providing the requirements of SERA.3105 Minimum Heights and SERA.5005 Visual Flight Rules can be complied with. If unable or unwilling to accept this form of separation, advise ATC immediately.
Aircraft overflying the heliport must comply with the published route altitudes.
Not applicable.
