Position | Network callsign | RT Callsign | Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
AIR | EGTE_TWR | Exeter Tower | 119.805 |
INT | EGTE_APP | Exeter Radar | 123.580 |
Low Visibility procedures (LVP’s) will commence when:
When Met Visibility/ IRVR decreases below 800M:
3000 FT
By ATC.
There are no established Standard Instrument Departure’s (SID) at Exeter. Departure Clearances should be requested from Exeter Radar (INT).
IFR Departures should be issued departure instructions using the following phraseology.
“Aircraft Callsign, Controller Callsign, After departure Runway (08/26), Left/ Right turn on track (Waypoint)1, Climb (Initial Climb)2, Squawk (SSR Code)”
Example:
“TOMJET 7DE, Exeter Tower, After Departure Runway 26, Left turn on track BHD, Climb FL60, Squawk 2246”
In the event that Radar or Area sectors are offline, AIR may provide this clearance ensuring that:
1. The waypoint should be the first one filed in the flight plan.
2. Maximum Initial Climb is FL60 outside of controlled airspace (This is due to the the lowest level of controlled airspace FL65 in the BHD CTA 1 . if a lower requested cruise level is filed, this should be issued instead.
Note: The phrase “Cleared to (Destination) is not used as Exeter is situated outside of controlled airspace.
AIR must coordinate a release for all departures except for VFR circuits from Exeter Approach 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 seperation minima must be applied between departing aircraft. Departure separation minima can also be found within the XU Quickview.
Minimum Separation | Provisions |
---|---|
1 Minute | Provided that the aircraft fly on tracks diverging by 45° or more immediately after take-off |
2 Minutes | Provided that Aircraft fly on similar tracks. |
IFR Departures should be transferred to Exeter Radar (INT) when airborne before passing altitude 2000ft.
VFR Departures should be transferred to INT when leaving the vicinity of the ATZ.
If Exeter Radar is offline, dpeartures should be transferred to:
If none of the above are online, departures should be released to UNICOM.
IFR: Transfer of control will take place at 4 nm. Transfer of communications can take place as soon as the pilot reports established.
VFR: Transfer of control will take place at the ATZ boundary. Transfer of communications can take place as soon as the pilot reports the airfield in sight.
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;
Exeter Radar (INT) Provides approach control services up to 30nm from Exeter Airport.

Use | Code |
---|---|
Approach | 0401 - 0450 |
Exeter inbounds will be issued descent by LAC West to an agreed level of FL120.
Hold | Inbound course/ Direction | Minimum altitude/ level |
---|---|---|
EX | 107/ Left | 3500 / FL40 |
TOMPO | 077/ Left | 3500 / FL40 |
A minimum radar separation of 5 miles must be applied.
Before providing Radar Vectors, Inbounds should be issued the relevant UK Flight Information Service.
Commercial Jet/ Turboprop aircraft are provided a Deconfliction Service by default unless otherwise requested.
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;
Section to be added soon
Exeter airport is situated in Class G uncontrolled airspace.
Circuits are variable but usually flown to the south, not above height 1000ft QFE.
VFR flights may route own navigation VFR. Exeter ATC may specify a “not above” restriction to de-conflict from other aircraft.
VFR departures should be issued a left/right turn out in the direction of their planned routing “VFR”.
“G-ABCD, Hold position, After Departure, Runway 26 left turn out VFR, Squawk 0401”
VFR Transits requesting to route through the ATZ or visual circuit must be coordinated with AIR.
VFR Transits routing clear of the ATZ and visual circuit can remain with APC for the duration of the transit.
Helicopters should land and depart from the main Runway.
Exeter Radar is responsible for providing UK Flight Information services up to a range of 30nm outside of controlled airspace. UK FIS are provided subject to controller workload.
