Procedures

Arrivals

• Holdings are expected over the TMA entrypoints (LEKRA, UVIKO, BABUX, KEKOX, NASUL, VAPOT). The holding cannot be found on the charts! See the picture below.
  
  
• Make sure you have enough fuel reserve for holdings! Be prepared with at least 45 minutes holding fuel!
  
  
• Expect radar vectors from Rovaniemi APP (129.9 MHz) when entering EFRO TMA.
  
  
• Preferred runway for landings is 21.
  
  
• Note that in default FS2002, FS2004 and FSX scenery the ILS frequency is 109.1 MHz - different from the new frequency 111.7 MHz in charts (new freq).
  
  
• In case of go-arounds the TWR shall advise of the clearance. Expect immediate frequency change back to EFRO_APP when climbing.
  
  

Departures

• EFRO is a joint military / civil airport. The civil apron with passenger terminal is located on the southside of the airport (see picture).
  
  
• Contact initially EFRO_GND for ATC clearance, startup and taxi instructions on 118.525 MHz.
  
  
• All departing flights from EFRO may expect a standard clearance (such as "runway heading and climb 4000 ft" - or similar), and radar vectoring after departure. Runway 21 is preferred for departures and arrivals.
  
  
• After departure contact EFRO_APP on 129.9 MHz.
  
  
• If there is heavy inbound traffic departures will fly under the holding stacks to exit TMA - so you may not expect a climb over FL90 until outside the TMA if holdings are present.
