Sub-appendix 1.2 Supplementary information on infrastructure from Mittarfeqarfiit BGJH (JJU) Qaqortoq Heliport: The heliport is owned by Mittarfeqarfiit and is currently operated on a service contract with Air Greenland (Air Greenland staff) The heliport constructed for an S61 helicopter sometime late in the 60s and was constructed with licence from the former SLV (today the Danish Transport and Construction Agency) subject to a special licence called S61 concept. The current licence on the heliport expires on 1 August 2016, we are in the process of applying for a new licence, in which connection BL 3-8 will form the basis of the approval. We are facing some challenges, to which we are working to find a solution together with TS, such as failure to meet the required angle of 150° between approach and takeoff directions. The end result is still uncertain, but at present we cannot rule out that restrictions may apply in connection with the awarding of the new licence. The current heliport dimensions are adapted according to BL 3-8 for a helicopter with D (greatest total length) of 23 metres. Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical (circular) and have a diameter of 23 metres (marked in white), the outer limit of the safety zone has a diameter of 46 metres (not marked physically). The surfacing of FATO/TLOF and the safety zone is made of asphalt. Lighting on FATO/TLOF consists of 15 (green) lights placed equidistantly at the outer edge of FATO/TLOF, lighting provided on wind sock and flash beacon. Buildings: Terminal building with passenger facilities, office and staff room and garage (owned by Mittafeqarfiit) Hangar (with space for two helicopters of the Bell 212 size) (owned by Air Greenland). Other equipment: Note that all other equipment is owned by Air Greenland Tanker Mini loader Luggage vans Ground power BGNS (JNS) Narsaq The heliport is owned by Mittarfeqarfiit and is currently operated on a service contract with Air Greenland (Air Greenland staff) The heliport was constructed for an S61 helicopter sometime in the late 60s and was constructed with licence from the former SLV (today the Danish Traffic and Construction Agency) subject to a special licence called S61 concept. The heliport was originally rectangular 20 x 60 with two lanes, which will be changed in connection with the awarding of a new licence in accordance with BL 3-8. Licence: According to the licence, the heliport has only been approved for commercial transport of passengers by helicopter with a MTOW of less than 10 tonnes and which has been certified to carry not more than 19 passengers, and the heliport may only be served by helicopters whose greatest length, including rotor, does not exceed 20 m. 1 Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical (circular) and have a diameter of 18 metres (marked in white), the outer limit of the safety zone has a diameter of 36 metres (not marked physically). Surfacing: The surfacing of FATO/TLOF and the safety zone is made of asphalt. Lighting: Lighting on FATO/TLOF consists of 14 (green) lights placed equidistantly at the outer edge of FATO/TLOF, lighting provided on wind sock and rotating beacon (currently decommissioned). Buildings: Terminal building with passenger facilities, office and staff room and garage (owned by Mittafeqarfiit) Other equipment: Note that all other equipment is owned by Air Greenland Tank trailer Mini loader Luggage vans BGNN (JNN) Nanortalik The heliport is owned by Mittarfeqarfiit and is currently operated on a service contract with Air Greenland (Air Greenland staff). The heliport was constructed for an S61 helicopter sometime in the late 60s and was constructed with licence from the former SLV (today the Danish Traffic and Construction Agency) subject to a special licence called S61 concept. The heliport was originally rectangular 20 x 60, which will be changed into a circular heliport in connection with the awarding of a new licence in accordance with BL 3-8. Licence: According to the licence, the heliport has only been approved for commercial transport of passengers by helicopter with a MTOW of less than 10 tonnes and which has been certified to carry not more than 19 passengers, and the heliport may only be served by helicopters whose greatest length, including rotor, does not exceed 20 m. Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical (circular) and have a diameter of 18 metres (marked in white), the heliport has a wind restriction of 25 knots due to failure to observe the required safety zone in BL 3-8. Surfacing: The surfacing of FATO/TLOF is made of asphalt. Lighting: Lighting on FATO/TLOF consists of 14 (green) lights placed equidistantly at the outer edge of FATO/TLOF, lighting provided on wind sock and rotating beacon. Buildings: Terminal building with passenger facilities, office and staff room and garage (owned by Mittafeqarfiit) 2 Other equipment: Note that all other equipment is owned by Air Greenland Tank trailer Mini loader Luggage vans BGAP (LLU) Alluitsup Paa The heliport is owned by the Government of Greenland and is operated by Mittafeqarfiit on a service contract with Pilersuisoq (Pilersuisoq staff). It is only the licenced areas on which Mittafeqarfiit and Pilersuisoq has an agreement; the operator (Air Greenland) is in charge of non-licenced assignments, a service contact has been made with Pilersuisoq in this area. The heliport is constructed for an S61 and has been constructed with licence from the former SLV (today the Danish Traffic and Construction Agency) subject to a special licence called S61 concept, the heliport was originally rectangular 60 x 20, which will be changed into a circular heliport in connection with the awarding of a new licence in accordance with BL 8-8. Licence: According to the licence, the heliport has only been approved for commercial transport of passengers by helicopter with a MTOW of less than 10 tonnes and which has been certified to carry not more than 19 passengers, and the heliport may only be served by helicopters whose greatest length, including rotor, does not exceed 20 m. Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical (circular) and have a diameter of 18 metres (marked in white), the heliport has a wind restriction of 25 knots due to failure to observe the required safety zone in BL 3-8. Surfacing: The surfacing of FATO/TLOF is made of asphalt. Lighting: None (no longer in use) Buildings: Terminal building with passenger facilities, office (owned by Mittafeqarfiit) Other equipment: Wind sock BGFD (QFN) Narsarmiit & BGAS (QUW) Ammassivik The heliports are ‘standard’ heliports constructed in accordance with BL 3-25, which is the predecessor of BL 3-8, the physical conditions of the heliports have not been changed in connection with the implementation of BL 3-8, and it should be mentioned that both BGFD and BGAS deviate from other heliports in South Greenland, as they have been established without initial ground levelling or filling, set up directly in the natural terrain with the FATO/TLOF borders being marked with red/white cones and the boarders around the heliport have been established using rope on posts all the way around FATO/TLOF. Licence: According to the licence the heliport has only been approved for commercial transport of passengers by helicopter with a MTOW of less than 10 tonnes and which has been certified to carry not more than 19 passengers, and the heliport may only be served by helicopters whose greatest length, including rotor, 3 does not exceed 20 m. It is the only two heliports together with BGNS (JNS) that do not have a wind restriction of 25 knots due to lack of safety zone. Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical (circular) and have a diameter of 20 metres (marked with red/white cones). Surfacing: Natural terrain (grass) Lighting: None Buildings: None Equipment: Wind sock Safety box QUV & XEQ This is two of three heliports in South Greenland (Qassiarsuk, Igaliko and Saarloq) which are owned and operated by Air Greenland as BL 3-31 (voluntary landing sites), these heliports are not subject to licence and should be considered as ordinary terrain landing. According to BL 3-31, these heliports may be used for four monthly takeoffs/landings. BGAQ (Aappilattoq), BGTQ (Tasiusaq), BGET Eqalugaarsuit, BGQT Qassimiut Licence: According to the licence, the heliport has only been approved for commercial transport of passengers by helicopter with a MTOW of less than 10 tonnes and which has been certified to carry not more than 19 passengers, and the heliport may only be served by helicopters whose greatest length, including rotor, does not exceed 20 m. All heliports have a wind restriction of 25 knots due to lack of safety zones. Physical condition of the heliport: FATO and TLOF are identical and have a diameter of 20 metres, for BGET & BGAQ, the heliports are rectangular 20 x 30 metres (marked with red/white cones).
