description Airfield Notes
The Aerodrome is London CTR (Class D), The Pilot of Suitable equipped Acft shall operate their transponder with altitude information selected when flying in the LFA (local flying area)
Pilots are advised to exercise extreme caution when taxiing through the apron/parking area due to reduced wing tip clearances.
IMC Inbound:
Farnborough Radar may, after coordination with Fairoaks, provide a service to inbound aircraft. Such aircraft will not be cleared to descend below 1500ft Farnborough QNH.
VFR flights may take place within the LFA subject to the following conditions:
a. In compliance with class D weather minima.
b. Maximum altitude 1500ft QNH.
loop Circuit & Procedures
Circuits variable, all procedures based on the Fairoaks QNH. No turns below 600ft.
Circuit altitude 1100ft QNH for aeroplanes and 800ft QNH for helicopters, inbound aircraft and circuit traffic should squawk 7010 when operating in the Fairoaks circuit or ATZ/LFA, unless otherwise instructed.
Joining aeroplanes should normally enter the ATZ level at 1400ft amsl and descend to 1100ft amsl when North of the runway prior to turning:
a. downwind for Rwy 06 LH:
b. crosswind for Rwy 24 RH;
c. crosswind for Rwy 06 RH;
d. downwind for Rwy 24 RH;
Straight-in, downwind and base joins are strongly discouraged when the circuit is active
Helicopters should normally enter the ATZ level at 800ft amsl and let down South of the runway, Helicopters wanting to utilise the runway should conform to fixed-wing procedures.
flight_land Arrival
Straight-in, downwind and base joins are strongly discouraged when the circuit is active Helicopters should normally enter the ATZ level at 800ft amsl and let down South of the runway, Helicopters wanting to utilise the runway should conform to fixed-wing procedures.
flight_takeoff Departure
Departing Aircraft Unless the Fairoaks FISO requests that a pilot sel;ects a different transponder setting, pilots f aircraft departing Fairoaks shall set their transponders as shown. 7000 - Aircraft departing the circuit. 7010 - Aircraft remaining within the circuit.
