3.3.4 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES FOR VFR HELICOPTER ROUTE H1 AND H2

3.3.4.1 Applicable Airspace

VFR Helicopter Route H1 and H2.

3.3.4.2 Operating Weather Minimum

  1. When weather conditions reported at the airport meet the standard VMC, operate on H1 and H2 according to the VMC operational procedures.
  2. When weather conditions reported at the airport of respective control airspace are below VMC with a ceiling not less than 500FT (the ceiling not less than 900FT in Songshan Class C Airspace) and a ground visibility not less than 1500M, operate according to the SVFR operational procedures in 3.4.4.3.

3.3.4.3 SVFR Operational Procedures

  1. General
    1. Pilots intended to operate on SVFR routes shall be IFR certified, and the helicopter must be properly equipped for IFR operation.
    2. These procedures are not applicable at night.
    3. Separation standards of SVFR operation procedures are adopted only when weather conditions meet the above 3.4.4.2, item 2, and IFR arrivals are executing ILS, PAR, TACAN or Localizer straight-in or circling approaches to Taipei/Songshan, Taipei/Taiwan Taoyuan or Hsinchu airport.
    4. Pilots shall make visual reference to surface and landmarks. On the single direction routes, pilots shall fly along the line of landmarks; on others, pilots shall fly the right side of the route and keep 1/2 NM from the line of landmarks to maintain separation between SVFR helicopters.
    5. All route segments are published with an upper limit. Unless other forms of separation exist and approval has been obtained from ATC, pilots shall operate at or below the upper limits so as to maintain separation with IFR traffic. Except when necessary for take-off or landing, or except when restricted by the upper limits, helicopters shall not be flown at a height less than 500FT above the surface.
    6. Pilots shall request an ATC clearance before take-off and advise ATC whenever he departs from the route structure.
    7. When passing the route juncture, pilots shall maintain a lower maneuvering speed to see and avoid other aircraft and maintain required separation.
    8. The VFR helicopter routes are established with compulsory and non-compulsory reporting points. ATC may instruct helicopter to hold over the reporting points. The standard holding pattern will be right turn and for 1 minute. Except for flight safety, ATC shall not direct helicopters to hold over Dajhih Bridge.
    9. To prevent TCAS equipped aircraft from doing unnecessary evasion to avoid SVFR helicopters, ATC is responsible for providing arriving or departing IFR aircraft with traffic information.
  2. Separation Standards
    1. Between SVFR helicopters: 1NM.
    2. Between a SVFR helicopter and an arriving or departing IFR aircraft:
      1. 1/2 NM, if the IFR aircraft is less than 1NM from the landing airport.
      2. 1NM, if the IFR aircraft is 1NM or more from the airport.
  3. Noise Abatement
    If weather conditions permit, pilots flying over congested areas, hospitals or schools, shall maintain the upper-limit altitude for noise abatement, and operate in compliance with the noise abatement procedures as specified in the operation manual.
  4. Holding position
    Unless otherwise instructed by tower, SVFR holding position shall be:
    1. Taipei/Songshan airport: north of Mouth of Keelung River and south of Mouth of Sindian River.
    2. Taipei/Taiwan Taoyuan airport: Taipei Port   and Guanyin.
  5. ATC Clearance
    1. Pilots shall request SVFR clearance from ATC facility 3 minutes before take-off or before entering the control airspace by stating aircraft call sign, present position, estimated time of departure (or entry into the airspace) and destination.
    2. ATC clearance may include route designators, reporting points or holding instructions.
    3. The take-off, landing or crossing runway of helicopter requires an additional and specific ATC clearance.
    4. Examples of ATC clearance:
      1. "NA503, the Songshan class C airspace is in IMC, say intention."
      2. "B77009, cleared to Tank Area via H1, and cleared to cross runway 05L; proceed via Taxiway NP to helipad."
      3. "B77099, cleared to Mouth of Keelung River via H1 and hold north of Mouth of Keelung River; expect five minute delay."
      4. "B55507, cleared to Taipei Port   via H1; traffic S70C passing the Mouth of Danshuei River."
      5. "NA507 has the arrival traffic Uni Air MD90 in sight, request maintain visual separation and join final directly."
      6. "Glory 854 , traffic 2 miles northeast of airport, southwest bound, helicopter has you in sight, and will maintain visual separation."

3.3.4.4 Related Regulations

In situations not adequately covered by this procedure, the provisions in the "Rules of the Air", and "Air Traffic Management Procedures" should be applied.
