Marshalling

Once helicopters have arrived at Farnborough under the control of Farnborough Tower, pilots

will be directed to the Helipark by Farnborough GMC and self manouevre to the gate. Once the

helicopter has safely positioned on the gate, the pilot should gives the ‘thumbs up’ to the

Handler, who will then assist with passenger disembarkation.

Once all passengers are clear, the Handler will indicate ‘all clear’ to the pilot who should then

contact Farnborough GMC for parking or departure instructions.

Customer services

Reception staff will greet passengers in the Reception Centre and ensure that passengers match

the manifest for that particular helicopter. They will liaise with FIL Exhibition Services to ensure

that vehicles are available to transport passengers to the Exhibition Site.
