EHHA AD 3.21 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 GENERAL
  • There is one common route between the heliport and visual reporting point ROTOP.
  • ROTOP is located on the border of the Schiphol CTR over the Noorder IJ-plas.
    ROTOP's geographical position is 522533N 0045155E.
  • The route from the heliport to ROTOP is ROTOR Departure (see AD 3.EHHA-VAC).
  • The route from ROTOP to the heliport is ROTOR Arrival (see AD 3.EHHA-VAC).
  • Simultaneous use of the ROTOR Arrival and ROTOR Departure is not allowed. Co-ordination will be done by Heliport Operations. For each flight a window of 15 minutes applies, which is reserved by prior permission.
  • Heliport Operations will report the ROTOR Arrival/Departure route to the Schiphol TWR supervisor for the time needed that day.
  • Other traffic (lifeline, pipeline, police) is aware of the route and will be informed of its activation by Schiphol TWR with the phrase "ROTOR heli route active".
  • The flight altitude of the ROTOR Arrival and ROTOR Departure in the Schiphol CTR is 900 FT AMSL.
  • HEMS, SAR, and police flights are exempted from the aforementioned route. These flights shall contact Schiphol TWR.
  • Two-way radio contact with Schiphol TWR and/or APP is required in the CTR.
2 DEPARTURE PROCEDURE
  1. All flights shall submit a flight plan to ARO Schiphol at least 60 minutes before ETD.
  2. When fully ready for an immediate departure, Heliport Operations or the pilot shall contact Schiphol TWR on telephone number +31 20 406 2540 for (special) VFR clearance for the ROTOR Departure.
  3. Upon receipt of the clearance, depart within 1 minute. If unable, request a new clearance from Schiphol TWR.
  4. Heliport Operations checks that the route has been activated with the Schiphol TWR supervisor.
  5. Contact Schiphol TWR on 119.230 directly after lift-off with call sign and route, and initiate climb to 500 FT AMSL.
    Further climb to 900 FT AMSL shall only be continued after two-way radio communication has been established. If no radio communication can be established, return and land at the heliport.
3 ARRIVAL PROCEDURE
  1. All flights shall submit a flight plan to ARO Schiphol at least 60 minutes before ETD.
  2. Monitor Schiphol ATIS.
  3. Contact Heliport Operations on 131.505 for aerodrome information before contacting Schiphol TWR.
  4. Contact Schiphol TWR on 119.230 for clearance for ROTOR Arrival at least 10 minutes before ETA ROTOP.
  5. Heliport Operations checks that the route has been activated with the Schiphol TWR supervisor.
