Aerodrome Control responsibilities are split into:
Runway 27 is preferred when the tailwind component is less than 5 knots.
5000ft
By ATC
Guernsey Airport is not equipped for CAT II/III operations, however Safeguarding and Low Visibility Procedures are used to protect CAT I operations.
Low Visibility Procedures will commence when either:
When Low Visibility Procedures are notified as in force by ATIS or RTF, pilots should, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, vacate the runway at the end and report vacated after passing the stop bar.
All aircraft ground movements on the movement area except on the active runway and access points.
Clearance Delivery and Issuing of ATC departure clearances
Pre-noting Guernsey Approach of all departures when pushing
Pre-noting Jersey Control of all departures that leave the Guernsey Approach AoR
IFR departures will be issued a Standard Instrument Departure (SID)
IFR departures to Alderney will be issued an Omnidirectional departure to Maintain Altitude 2000ft
IFR departures to Jersey will Maintain Altitude 2000ft or 3000ft (Jet/DH8D)
VFR departures to Jersey will be issued not above Altitude 1000ft
VFR departures from Guernsey will be issued not above Altitude 2000ft
Type | Stand/ Parking Area |

All Airlines | 1 - 8, 21-23 |
Cargo | 9 - 10A |
Private/ Business Aviation | 11-15 21-23 Aiglle Hangar |
General Aviation | Aero Club ASG (West Apron Hangar) |
ALL departures from Guernsey require a release from Guernsey Approach (JB INT).
Wake turbulence separation minima on departure shall be applied by measuring airborne times between successive aircraft. Take-off clearance may be issued with an allowance for the anticipated take-off run on the runway; however, the airborne time interval shall reflect a difference of at least the required time separation. ATC does not have the discretion to reduce wake turbulence separation minima.
CAA Departure separation minima must be applied between departing aircraft. Departure separation minima can also be found within the XU Quickview.
Departures should be transferred to Guernsey Approach (JB INT) when airborne and at or below Altitude 2000ft or released straight to TC Jersey if coordinated by JB INT
If JB INT is offline, departures should be transferred to:
If none of the above are online departures should be released to UNICOM.
JB INT will retain control of arriving aircraft until the aircraft passes 6nm, transfer of communication can occur prior to this point.
JB INT is responsible for the necessary spacing between inbound aircraft. The AIR controller should monitor inbound aircraft to check that the correct spacing is being achieved.
Should any corrective action be required for arriving aircraft outside of 6nm, coordination should be effected between the AIR controller and JB INT/SVFR.
The wake turbulence separation minima in the XU Quickview shall be applied to aircraft on final approach when:
(1) an aircraft is operating directly behind another aircraft at the same altitude or less than 1,000 ft below; or
(2) an aircraft is crossing behind another aircraft, at the same altitude or less than 1,000 ft below;
Missed approach procedures for Guernsey can be found in the UK AIP.
Guernsey Approach (JB INT) is responsible for approach control services to aircraft within the Guernsey AoR, which includes Alderney
Guernsey Radar (JB SVFR) is responsible for approach control services to aircraft within the Guernsey AoR usually as a relief position to assist with VFR traffic or to act as a director frequency dependant on the situation and as demand necessitates.
Hold | Inbound Course/ Direction | Level |
---|---|---|
ALD | 079 / Left | 2000 ft + |
BANLO | 260 / Right | 2000 ft + |
GUR | 088 / Left | 2000 ft + |
A minimum radar separation of 3nm must be applied within the Channel Islands CTR and 5nm within the TMA.
The wake turbulence separation minima in the XU Quickview shall be applied to aircraft on final approach when:
(1) an aircraft is operating directly behind another aircraft at the same altitude or less than 1,000 ft below; or
(2) an aircraft is crossing behind another aircraft, at the same altitude or less than 1,000 ft below;
The Channel Islands CTR is Class D controlled airspace from SFC to FL080.
Aircraft should not fly at a height of less than 2500ft above ground level within 3nm of the Island of Sark, except when under a radar service with Guernsey Approach (JB INT/SVFR)
Circuits are flown at 700ft AAL to the south of Guernsey. Runway 27 Left Hand, Runway 09 Right Hand.
VFR flights inbound to, or outbound from, Guernsey should be routed to the control zone boundary. VRPs maybe used for routing and separation purposes
Visual Reference Points (VRP) for Guernsey can be found within the Aurora sector file or referenced in the NATS UK AIP.
VFR transits must not enter the Guernsey ATZ without approval from AIR.
Transits should be made to cross the threshold of the active runway.
Helicopters should take off and land using the main runway only and hover/taxi to the allocated parking.
UK Flight Information Services are not provided by Guernsey Approach as the entire Channel Islands CTR <FL80 is Class D, radar controlled airspace. If Guernsey Approach has traffic released to them by TC Jersey from the East (Brest) descending but in Class G then no radar service can be given until within the CTR South.
