The Low Level Route
The maximum altitude through the low level route is 1300ft.
This means that if any VFR is going to leave the zone and pass
through it then you give them a max altitude of 1300ft rather
than 1500ft.

Runway Selection
If the wind speed is Less Than 5 knots, 23
configurations are used regardless of the wind
direction.
If the wind speed is Greater Than 5 knots and the
direction is between 135/335, 23 configurations are
used.
The 5 knot rule only applies to DRY runways.
When the runway is WET, we use the runway closest to
the wind.

Departure Restrictions
The SANBA departures are to be used by JET AIRCRAFT ONLY.
ONLY If the
aircraft is prop driven, or one of the jet exceptions given on the
LISTO2R/2YY chart, it shall be cleared on the LISTO2R/2YY departure.
Notice also that there are no SANBA departures for 05 Operations.
All aircraft routing via SANBA when 05s are in use shall be cleared on
the respective LISTO departure.
When using 05, aircraft that would normally take a SANBA departure
on 23 operations should file SANBA,, and shall be cleared on a LISTO
departure. This is for real
real-world flight-planning reasons. For flights
into the London TMA (EGLL, EGKK, EGLC, etc.), cruising levels may
not be greater than FL190.

Helicopter and Circuit
Information
Helicopter Operations
Helicopters always use the runway for take-off and
landing. Once vacating the runway they should be
taxied/hover taxied to either ROMPA/TATON or to the
Ocean Sky apron.
Circuits
Circuits are usually carried out on the left runway (the
departure runway), which ensures that a VFR aircraft
never needs to cross the approach path of an active
arrivals runway. When using 23 dual operations VFR
circuit traffic should be landed on runway 23R.

Callsign, report downwind with intentions.

Coordination
There are two methods of achieving co-ordination:
1. Tactical Co-ordination - the co-ordination of individual aircraft to which the
co-ordinating controllers are providing, or are about to provide, an ATS. It is
achieved either verbally (face-to-face or via a telephone line) or silently using
an electronic data communications system.
2. Standing Co-ordination - co-ordination which is implemented automatically,
on a permanent basis, without communication between the controllers
involved. It is affected in accordance with a written agreement between the
units or sectors involved (Letter of Agreement or as detailed in the vMATS Part
2).
Altimetry
The QNH & QFE are PRESSURE SETTINGS which display:
• QNH displays altitude above sea level=257ft
• QFE displays height above the aerodrome=0ft
The QFE at Manchester is the QNH-9.
This is because each hector Pascal is around 29ft so if you
divide the aerodrome elevation by 29 whatever you get you
take it off the QNH and you get the QFE.
For example, EGCC is 257ft so 257/29= 9 therefore QNH9=QFE
