ADC | Hawarden (EGNR)¶
Taxiway Restrictions and Parking¶
Visiting general aviation traffic shall typically park on Apron N.
Airbus Beluga (A3ST) and Beluga XL (A337) traffic shall only enter/exit the runway via Taxiways B and E. No other aircraft may occupy parking on the Beluga Apron. Beluga traffic will backtrack the runway to full length and use the yellow centreline turnpad to position.
Only helicopter traffic shall use Taxiways J and G.
IFR Departure Clearances¶
| Designator | Runway | Joining At | Routing |
|---|---|---|---|
| REXAM 5 | 22 | REXAM | Join controlled airspace on track REXAM climbing to 5000 ft. |
| 04 | REXAM | After departure, immediate right turn remaining outside the Manchester CTA, join controlled airspace on track REXAM climbing to 4000 ft, on crossing the WAL 167°R climb to 5000 ft. | |
| WAL 4 | 22 | WAL | Turn immediately right on track WAL, climb to altitude 4000 ft. |
| 04 | WAL | Turn immediately left on track WAL, climb to altitude 4000 ft. | |
All departures joining the ATS route network shall be cleared via the REXAM 5 or WAL 4 standard outbound clearances. The table above lists the departure instructions published in the AIP. All southbound traffic is issued a REXAM 5 departure and all northbound traffic is issued WAL 4. The UK SRD lists routes via DESIG and POL – this traffic is to be cleared via WAL 4 and shall be issued onward routing to DESIG/POL once airborne.
ADC will clear traffic via the WAL 4 and REXAM 5 departures, issuing a squawk code allocated by UKCP.
Radiotelephony
Beluga 221H, cleared to Toulouse, REXAM 5 departure, squawk 4217
Between issuing a clearance and engine startup, ADC will inform RAD, Liverpool RAD 1, and PC West of the expected airborne time of the traffic with its routing via text.
Coordination
Departure notification - ABC123 to EIDW via WAL 4. Estimating 1214
ADC shall issue an updated expected airborne time if the estimate changes by more than +/- 3 minutes.
Where an aircraft is unfamiliar with the REXAM 5 or WAL 4 routes, ADC shall issue the above after departure instructions and continue to coordinate them as REXAM 5 or WAL 4. Where ADC suspects the pilot is unfamiliar, they must clarify the pilot’s familiarity and confirm the initial altitudes. The REXAM 5 for runway 04 can be simplified if required to the following instruction:
Radiotelephony - REXAM 5 (04)
after departure runway 04, turn right direct REXAM, climb to altitude 2500 ft. When established inbound to REXAM, climb to altitude 5000 ft.
For traffic requiring an alternative routing or is remaining outside of controlled airspace, ADC shall coordinate with RAD prior to clearance. RAD will coordinate with Liverpool RAD 1 and PC West as required.
Departure Releases¶
All IFR departures via REXAM or WAL require a release from RAD and Liverpool RAD 1. Amended after departure instructions may be given alongside this release which must be passed to the aircraft before take-off. Traffic remaining outside of controlled airspace only requires a release from RAD. A release is not required from PC, unless coordinated.
It is the responsibility of RAD to provide releases for IFR traffic that ensure separation between departing aircraft and other traffic known to Hawarden (see Approach Control – Outbound Procedures). In the absence of a controller providing radar services aircraft may depart with a 4-minute departure interval.
Wake turbulence separation is to be applied in accordance with MATS Part 1 (CAP 493).
Departure Hand-off Order¶
All departures are to be handed to RAD or the appropriate top-down controller after departure (see 
GEN - ATC Positions).
