- All helicopter traffic approaching for landing should conform to a circuit pattern slightly closer than the fixed wing circuit at 6000 FT ALT.
- Direct approaching may only be executed with the knowledge of ATC.
- Departing helicopter traffic should avoid taking off parallel to fixed wing aircraft departing on the runway.
RWY 35 in use: (Helicopter Grass approach) Helicopters should avoid approaching parallel to fixed wing aircraft on final approach. From the left base position helicopters should turn at a 45° angle towards the RWY, approach over the grass, west of the RWY, cross the marked boundary fence on the grass area west of the main TWY, then air taxi to the designated helipads.
RWY 17 in use:
Helicopters should avoid approaching parallel to fixed wing aircraft on final approach. Helicopters should expect to approach west of the RWY on the TWY. Helicopters to EXER CTN on the TWY due to taxing ACFT.
-Helicopters are prohibited from air taxing between hangers and building.
