ATC Low Visibility Procedures are in force when:
The following spacing should be used for arrivals during LVPs:
Departing aircraft are to be given the Aberdeen QNH prior to take-off.
Arriving aircraft below the transition level are to be given the Aberdeen QNH.
Aircraft entering the aerodrome traffic circuit should operate on the Aberdeen QFE.
Aberdeen QFE = QNH - 7 hPa
6000 ft
By ATC.
Aberdeen does not have any established SID’s. All airways departures clearances should be requested from Aberdeen Radar (INT). The following phraseology is used for Airway clearances:
”[Callsign], cleared to [Destination] via [Airway]. Climb [FL]1 , Squawk [SSR Code]”
LOG3HB, cleared to Manchester via P600. Climb FL110, Squawk 4311.
1- All airways departures (Except departures via Y904*) from Aberdeen climb FL110, or requested cruise level if lower.
*Departures via airway Y904 climb FL80.
Helicopters departing to offshore platforms in the north sea will be issused a clearance via HMR’s (Helicopter Main Routes) using the following phraseology:
”[Callsign], cleared to leave controlled airspace, SHRUB Departure, IFR, HMRI 059, Squawk 3640”
“[Callsign], cleared to leave controlled airspace, GORSE Departure, VFR, HMRI 104, Squawk 3640”
CPDLC Datalink clearances are not in use at Aberdeen.

All departures require a release from INT. INT may specifiy After departure instructions with the release.
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 seperation minima must be applied between departing aircraft. Departure separation minima can also be found within the XU Quickview.
Separation | Routing |
---|---|
1 Minute | Provided that the aircraft fly on tracks diverging by 45° or more immediately after take-off. |
2 Minutes |
Provided that: 1) the preceding aircraft has filed a true airspeed 40 knots or more faster than the following; and (2) neither aircraft is cleared to execute any manoeuvre that would decrease the 2-minute separation between them. |
Departures should be transferred to Aberdeen Radar (INT) when airborne before passing altitude 2000ft.
If INT is offline departures should be transferred to:
If none of the above are online, Departures should be released to UNICOM.
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 Aberdeen can be found in the NATS UK AIP.

All inbounds will be transferred by silent handover provided that:
Hold | Inbound Course/ Direction | Min.Altitude/ Levels |
---|---|---|
ADN | 161/ Left | 2500ft (FL70 - FL110) |
A minimum radar seperation of 3nm should be applied to all IFR aircraft within the Aberdeen CTR/CTA’s.
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;
Departures routing via all airways should climb to the standard agreed level or their RFL (if lower).
All Airways (except Y904) | ↑FL110 |
Y904 | ↑FL80 |
Circuits are flown to the west of Aberdeen not above altitude 2000 Feet QNH.
All VFR Flights should enter or leave the control zone via VRP’s not above altitude 2000ft QNH.
”G-ABCD, Cleared to leave the Aberdeen control zone via Peterhead, VFR, not above altitude 2000ft, QNH1000, Squawk 4250”
VRP’s can be referenced from the Aurora sector file or; the NATS UK AIP.
The Following Entry/Exit lanes are established for Aberdeen:
VFR transits should not enter the Aberdeen ATZ without approval from AIR. Transits requesting to route through the ATZ should be instructed to cross via the threshold of the Runway in use. Transits remaining clear of the ATZ should remain with INT.
Locally based operators may be authorised to carry out landings on Runway 23H independently of operations on Runway 16/34.
Helicopters must be instructed to remain clear of Runway 16/34 when in use.
AIR: “CHC123, Traffic an Eastern ATR Departing Runway 16. “
Pilot: “Traffic in sight, CHC123”
AIR: “CHC123, Remain east of E6, Surface wind 160 degrees, 5 knots, Runway 23H, Cleared to land.”
Pilot ”Runway 23H, Cleared to land, CHC123”
UK Flight Information Services are provided by Aberdeen Radar up to a range of 40 nm.
