Visual departure procedures
Before engine start-up, the pilot must first have obtained “start-up clearance”. This clearance can be obtained by contacting Eindhoven Ground and shall be given directly or dependant on traffic density at a fixed time.

A request for start-up contains:

• position
• ATIS-information
• Flightrules
• Destination
• Number of passengers onboard
• Request engine start-up

Example:

Pilot: “Eindhoven Ground, PHPME, TB10, Opposite tower, Information ‘J’, VFR to Seppe, POB 2, Request start-up.”

Aircraft with MTOW < 2000 kg

Unless otherwise instructed or permitted climb to 1000 ft AMSL.

• ZULU Departure.
  After departure follow the VFR-route via MIKE and VICTOR to ZULU
• YANKEE Departure.
  After departure follow the VFR-route via MIKE and VICTOR to YANKEE
• WISKEY Departure.

Left or right turn are only allowed after approval from Eindhoven Tower.

Visual arrival procedures
Aircraft with MTOW < 2000 kg

• Contact Eindhoven Tower in advance before entering the CTR.
