ADC | Redhill (EGKR)

Apron/Taxiway Restrictions

Fixed-wing aircraft may by instructed to taxi on any paved taxiway, runway, or additionally any grass north of runway 07R/25L and east of runway 18H/36H when surface conditions permit. Fixed-wing aircraft must remain south of G3 at all times, so to transit from H to E fixed-wing aircraft should be instructed to cross runway 18 via G3 – they should not taxi around the paved taxiway to the north of the aerodrome, unless surface conditions dictate. This is to minimise helicopter/fixed-wing interaction.

Helicopters are usually instructed to air-taxi along runway 18/36 to reach their intended lift location. Helicopters may be instructed to air-taxi anywhere across the aerodrome when necessary, but Redhill ATC should be cautious to make sure that at least 3 times the diameter of the helicopter blades is left between a helicopter and another aircraft.

Redhill ATC only needs to issue the instruction to ‘cross’ a runway if the aircraft crossing is doing so between the marked thresholds.


IFR Departures

Any departures intending to either join the ATS route network or cross the Gatwick CTR/CTA under IFR shall be coordinated with Gatwick FIN. Traffic is to depart visually under either VFR or SVFR and will convert to IFR when clear of the Redhill ATZ.


Departure Hand-off Order

Departures are either handed off to unicom, or instructed to freecall a suitable radar controller.


IFR Arrivals

IFR arrivals are not permitted to Redhill. Traffic leaving the ATS route network is to make a visual approach under either VFR or SVFR.
