Low Visibility procedures (LVP’s) are in force when:
Aerodrome control responsibilities at Casement are split into:
The most in to wind runway should be selected with a tailwind of less than 5 knots.
All aircraft arriving or departing Casement should operate on the QNH.
QFE can be issued by ATC on request.
Casement QFE = QNH - 11 hpa
5000ft
By ATC.
A conversion table can be found within the XU SO Quickview.
Pilots should state their aircraft type, location and ATIS info received on first contact.
GND will issue start up clearance and provide any information omitted by the pilot.
”F264, Baldonnel Ground, Start-up approved.”
Simiilar to UK Irish Military ATC issue all clearances when the aircraft is taxiing out to the Runway.
To be added
Aircraft should be issued the Casement QNH with their taxi instructions.
Separation between departing aircraft is applied so that after one aircraft takes off, the next aircraft does not take-off with less than the number of minutes needed. There are 2 departure separation methods in use at Dublin:Wake Turbulence and Speed separation. When calculating the correct departure separation, the highest of the 2 values is the one to use.
ICAO Wake Turbulence Separation Minima (Nautical miles)
| Leader / Follower | Super Heavy | Heavy | Medium | Light |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Heavy | - | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Heavy | - | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Medium | - | - | - | 5 |
| Light | - | - | - | - |
All Standard Instrument Departures (SID) at Baldonnel are separated by 2 minutes.
All departures should contact Baldonnel Approach (APP) immediatley after departure.
If APP is offline, departures should be transferred to:
Baldonnel Approach (APP) will maintain control of arrivals until:
ICAO Wake Turbulence Separation Minima (Nautical Miles)
| Leader / Follower | Super Heavy | Heavy | Medium | Light |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Heavy | - | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Heavy | - | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Medium | - | - | - | 5 |
| Light | - | - | - | - |
To be added.
Baldonnel Arrivals will intially be controlled by Dublin ACC and Dublin APP.
Dublin APP will clear the arrival to the coordinated release point and transfer when the aircraft is established on the approach procedure.

A standard radar seperation of 3 nm may be applied within the Dublin CTR.
Radar vectoring may only take place within the Military Area of Responsibility. The Military AoR is made up of Restricted Area R15 and R16.
A Surveillance Radar Approach (SRA) Procedure is available for Runway 10.
“F264, This will be a Surveillance Radar Approach, Runway 10, Terminating at 2 miles from touchdown.
Obstacle Clearance Altitude 1050ft, Maintain 1800ft, Check your minima.“
| Distance (nm) | Altitude (ft) | Height (ft) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10+ | - | - | Notify TWR of SRA Arrival |
| - | - | - | Turn left/ Right heading for Final. Report runway in sight. |
| 5 | 1800 | 1517 | Commence Descent “now” to maintain a 3 degree glide path |
| 4.5 | - | - | Check gear down and locked. Request landing clearance from TWR. |
| 4 | 1500 | 1217 | Landing clearance |
| 3 | 1200 | 917 | … |
| 2 | 900 | 617 | Approach completed after landing contact Baldonnel Tower |
| < | <> | > |
| Going left of track | On Track | Going right of track |
Note: Procedure only available to 2nm. Descent below OCA/ OCH is not permitted unless visual contact has been established and can be maintained.
VFR Departure Clearances will specify:
(1). The direction of turn after take-off;
(2). Route;
(3). Climb instructions.
Departure clearances are normally issued by ATC during taxi. It may also be issued before taxi on request from the aircraft. The clearance must be read back in full and should not be confused with an Enroute clearance.
VFR Flights should route via Visual Reporting points (VRP’s) at altitude 1800ft QNH (Height 1500ft QFE).
All helicopter circuit patterns at EIME shall be right hand, unless otherwise authorised by ATC. Pilots intending to carry out left hand circuits shall obtain clearance from ATS prior to doing so.
The standard helicopter circuit altitude is 800ft QNH, unless otherwise authorised by ATS.
Practice auto-rotations shall be carried out at 1,800ft QNH. ATS clearance is required before carrying out auto rotations or low level / groundwork on the aerodrome.
