Controlled airspace excluded.

3.1.2 Airspace structure

ATS routes (HMRs) and protected airspace (HTZs and HPZs) have been established for helicopters operating in support of the offshore oil and gas industry.

hereunder the term 'platform' is used for fixed offshore installations equipped with a helipad; mobile installations equipped with a helipad are referred to as 'rigs'.

3.1.3 Operating procedures

In co-operation with all States having an interest in offshore operations over the North Sea, procedures have been established for military and civil air traffic over the whole North Sea. To meet the safety requirements of all parties concerned, operators are to ensure that pilots adhere to the procedures described in this chart.

3.2 AIRSPACE STRUCTURE

3.2.1 Helicopter main routes

Definition: a helicopter main route (HMR) is an ATS route, established by the appropriate ATS authority, where civil helicopters operate on a regular and frequent basis, and where alerting service, flight information service or advisory service (see notes) may be provided.

HMRs have no lateral dimensions.

flights along helicopter routes situated within the limits of an air traffic services area, are provided with air traffic service according to the airspace classification of that area.

HMRs are indicated by the name 'KY' followed by a number and are described in ENR 3.4 and depicted on chart ENR 6-3.1.

In radio communication HMRs will be pronounced as, 'KOPTER YANKEE' followed by the appropriate number.

3.2.2 Helicopter traffic zones (HTZ) and helicopter protection zones (HPZ)

HTZs: an area established around a platform or rig with a helideck to safeguard helicopter approaches and departures. A HTZ extends vertically from MSL up to and including 2000 FT AMSL and is horizontally defined as a circle of 5 NM radius, unless otherwise specified.

HPZs: an area established around two or more platforms and/or rigs to safeguard helicopter approaches, departures, and extensive uncoordinated inter-platform traffic. A HPZ extends vertically from MSL up to and including 2000 FT AMSL. A HPZ is horizontally defined as the smallest area encompassing the HTZ(s) of the platforms and/or rigs, including an instrument approach area.

On the basis of assignment to concession holders, some HPZs have been divided in sectors (see chart ENR 6-3.1), through which a more effective flight information service will be possible.

Note

when a part of a HPZ and/or HTZ is situated below controlled airspace with a lower limit below 2000 FT AMSL, the upper limit of that area within the HPZ or HTZ will be equal to the lower limit of the aforementioned controlled airspace.
the lateral limits of HTZs located in a HPZ are restricted to the lateral limits of the HPZ.

3.2.3 Platform positions

Note:

for positions of mobile rigs see relevant NOTAM.
only platforms with a helideck have a location indicator.

3.3.2.1 Pilot heliports

The following heliports are available only for North Sea pilotage (see also ENR 5.3):

EHTP (Pistoolhaven);
EHYP (YPAD).

Heliports are not connected to the AFTN network.

3.3.2.2 North Sea pilotage areas

Shore-to-ship traffic of helicopters operating for the North Sea pilotage service serve the following pilotage areas off the North Sea coast.

North Sea pilotage area	Co-ordinates1)
Maas Center Buoy area (MCB)	520103N 0035331E*
Rotterdam rendez-vous (RRV)	520000N 0030000E*
IJmuiden rendez-vous (YRV)	522957N 0034955E*
IJmuiden Uiterton (YUIT)	522757N 0042455E*
The North Sea pilotage areas have no defined boundaries.

3.3.2.3 Routes and altitudes

Civil helicopters shall, whenever possible, operate along published HMRs and within HTZs and HPZs. Along HMRs helicopters shall normally transit westbound at 2000 FT AMSL or FL 040 and eastbound at 3000 FT AMSL or FL 050. Helicopter routes may deviate to facilitate for example DEP EHKD at 2000 FT AMSL and DEST EHKD at 3000 FT AMSL. For a detailed description of the HMRs see ENR 3.4.

Flights along HMRs shall not deviate more than 2 NM from the published track.

When leaving the HMR helicopters should proceed to the platform/rig of destination along the shortest possible distance between HMR and HTZ/HPZ. Pilots should maintain a minimum altitude of 1500 FT AMSL as long as possible.

3.3.2.4 Approaches to offshore locations

The visual approach to a platform/rig as well as the descent during an instrument approach (i.e. the most critical part of the procedure) shall be carried out within the limits of the HTZ/HPZ concerned.

an instrument approach procedure to a platform/rig may start outside the HTZ/HPZ at 1500 FT AMSL.

3.3.2.5 Icing

3.3.2.5.1 Altitude and reports to ATS

Should helicopter icing conditions or other flight safety considerations dictate it, helicopters may have to operate below 1500 FT AMSL. In these circumstances pilots shall make every attempt to follow the HMR and to inform Amsterdam Information c.q. Schiphol Approach or Rotterdam Approach/Tower of the new altitude, stating the reason for operation below 1500 FT AMSL.

3.3.2.5.2 Conditions

Helicopter icing conditions can exist when a temperature of 0°C and visible moisture are forecasted below 2000 FT AMSL.

3.3.2.6 SSR transponder code

Civil helicopters operating over the North Sea:

to and from De Kooy receive an SSR code from De Kooy Tower. This code is valid for the outward flight and the flight back.
from Rotterdam Airport receive an SSR code from Rotterdam Tower. This code is valid up to the first destination.
to Rotterdam Airport receive an SSR code from ATS.

3.3.3 Operating procedures for military and other civil air traffic

3.3.3.1 Crossing or overflying of HTZs/HPZs

A pilot operating over the North Sea, shall make sure that crossing or overflying at his level is safe, especially in IMC.

Information on possible flight operations within HTZs/HPZs will be provided by the Amsterdam flight information centre.

3.3.3.2 Crossing of and operations in the vicinity of HMRs

The information required for the crossing of HMRs, or operating in the vicinity of HMRs, will be provided by the Amsterdam flight information centre.

although HMRs are not defined in lateral limits, civil helicopters will navigate within 2 NM of the published track (see paragraph 3.3.2.3 Routes and altitudes).

All traffic operating in the vicinity of HMRs and HTZs/HPZs shall maintain a sharp look-out.

3.3.3.3 Avoidance measures and distance

Pilots of military and civil aircraft shall avoid helicopters over the North Sea by:

taking avoiding action as early as possible, giving as much separation (see note) as possible.
attempting to pass above, below or behind the helicopter when practicable.
using, whenever possible, airborne radar to detect the helicopter traffic.

helicopter pilots prefer a minimum lateral separation of 2 NM.

3.4 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

Amsterdam FIC provides FIS and ALRS in the North Sea area Amsterdam and the North Sea area V (see paragraph 2.1), in accordance with GEN 3.3, to safeguard military and civil air traffic above the North Sea up to and including FL 0551). For area boundaries see chart ENR 6-3.1.
