## Helicopter Operations
### General
These procedures apply during hours of daylight only. During hours of darkness, all helicopters must revert to fixed-wing operations.
These procedures apply during hours of daylight only. During hours of darkness, all helicopters must revert to fixed-wing operations.

The Main Pad (abeam taxiway Mike) is treated like a runway and requires a takeoff/landing clearance. Helicopters are permitted to become airborne from a limited number of other locations on the aerodrome, such as taxiway November Two, and should be instructed to *"report airborne"* or *"report on the ground"*.

### Reporting Points
Three helicopter reporting points help keep helicopters separated from other traffic.

CWST: Michels Patisserie located 1.2nm west of CNTH on the water pipeline
CNTH: Northern end of Regents Park Railway Station, roughly 300 metres north of the water pipeline
CSTH: Intersection of two creeks enclosing a sewage treatment works 2.1nm south of the aerodrome reference point
CSTH: Intersection of two creeks enclosing a sewage treatment works 2.1nm south of the aerodrome reference point
### Inbound Procedures
Helicopters should track inbound at `A007` via one of the normal inbound points (PSP or TWRN) or via *Olympic Park* and report to **BK ADC** at that point. In response, **BK ADC** should instruct the aircraft to track as below:

!!! note
Helicopters tracking via CSTH will pass over the runway complex midfield at `A005` to join downwind. Be mindful of aircraft in the fixed-wing circuit and pass traffic information to both aircraft prior to the helicopter becoming airborne.
Helicopters tracking via CSTH will pass over the runway complex midfield at `A005` to join downwind. Be mindful of aircraft in the fixed-wing circuit and pass traffic information to both aircraft prior to the helicopter becoming airborne.

Example:
*"XEL, traffic is a helicopter overflying the aerodrome to the south at A005, runway left, cleared touch and go"*
*"YZD, traffic is a Cherokee turning final for runway left, depart Choppers South, main pad, cleared for takeoff"*
### Circuits
Circuits are conducted within the lateral confines of the fixed-wing circuit at `A007`, in the same direction as the current runway config. The termination point of the circuit is the Main Pad.

## ATIS
### Runway Nomination
The ATIS must indicate the current runway config and nominate what each parallel runway is being used for. The northern runway (11L/29R) is primarily used for VFR arrivals and departures, the southern runway (11R/29L) for circuit training, and the centre runway for IFR arrivals/departures and VFR overflow.

This should be reflected on the ATIS as below:
`RWY 11L FOR ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES; RWY 11R FOR CIRCUIT TRAINING; RWY 11C IN USE`
