16 Interaction with Airshow Display Periods In the period immediately prior to a display commencing, helicopter operations will be stopped in sufficient time to be on the ground or a suitable distance away from the airfield prior to display commencement. During Airshow displays, the Helipark and associated routes will normally be closed. Farnborough International may elect to provide a gap in the display programme to allow a known number of helicopters to arrive or depart. Post display operations during the airfield closure period are acceptable, provided they do not hinder essential Airshow repositioning activities. Wake Turbulence procedures. Arriving helicopters are to be issued with recommended Wake Turbulence spacing phraseology as per MATS Part 1. Operators are not expected to utilise the full gap indicated as part of the recommendation, but will adjust their arrival profile to avoid wake turbulence encounters. Departing helicopters will not require departure wake turbulence separations when the main Runway operation involves a light or small aircraft. Missed Approaches The standard Missed Approach for FATO 24/06 is to climb straight ahead, remaining north of the Display line markers to remain in the visual circuit for the FATO. Minimum Departure Interval (MDIs) On occasion the outbound flow of Helicopters may be restricted on request by TC SVFR or Battersea. HELICOPTER OPERATORS GUIDE 15
