1.1 Weston VFR Route from the West
1.1.1 Standard VFR Arrival Procedures for fixed wing are:
Runway 25/07 Route North of Maynooth towards Leixlip. Maintain 1500 ft. QNH. By the Industrial Complex turn right towards the airfield and enter the AOR. Report overhead the airfield at 1500 ft. QNH. Join the circuit in use but remaining at 1500 ft. QNH until position in the circuit has been established. Then descend to 1000 ft. QNH.
1.1.2 Standard VFR Arrival Procedures for Helicopters are:
Runway 25/07 Route north of Maynooth towards Leixlip. Maintain 1000ft QNH. By the Industrial Complex turn right towards the airfield and position for downwind for the runway in use or as directed by ATC.
Note:
- Care must be taken not to penetrate the R15, R16 or the Dublin CTA/CTR. RTF contact with Baldonnel should not be attempted while on the ground at Weston.
- Aircraft must avoid over-flying the Technology Campus and the Industrial Complex.
1.1.3 Weston VFR Route from the East
VFR arrivals from the East will be facilitated by Dublin ATC. VFR arrivals from the East can expect to be routed through the Dublin CTR along the track of the river Liffey to join Weston from the Palmerstown Roundabout VRP. Aircraft will be handed over to Weston ATC no later than the boundary of the Weston AOR. Aircraft will route from Palmerstown Roundabout to the Runway in use, as directed by Weston ATC.
Aircraft arriving from the East must at all times exercise due caution with regard to the following:
- Pilots must maintain awareness of the proximity of Restricted Areas EIR15 and EIR23 south of the VFR route:
- ATS will be provided by Dublin ATC and transfer of communications to Weston ATC will be at the discretion of Dublin ATC:
- Routing crosses EIP11 vertical limits GND to 1000ft AMSL and in close proximity to EIP18 vertical limits surface to 550ft AMSL, pilots must exercise caution accordingly.
1.1.4 Special VFR is available within Weston AOR in accordance with SERA.5010 and the provisions of S.I. No. 266 of 2019.
2. Departure Procedures
2.1 Standard Departure Routes for fixed wing and helicopters are:
2.1.1 Visual Departure Route to West
- Runway 25: Climb straight ahead to 650 ft. QNH. Turn right no later than reaching end of reservoir to follow M4 motorway climbing to 1000 ft. QNH and exit controlled airspace. Remain South of Maynooth.
- Runway 07: Climb straight ahead to 650ft. QNH and join the Weston circuit climbing to 1000ft. QNH downwind. At the end of the downwind leg turn right no later than reaching end of reservoir to follow the M4 motorway. Remain South of Maynooth.
Note:
- Departing traffic wishing to penetrate the R15, R16, or the Dublin CTA/CTR should follow the Standard Departure Route to Maynooth, and establish RTF by Maynooth for appropriate clearance.
- Care must be taken not to penetrate the R15, R16 or the Dublin CTA/CTR. RTF contact with Baldonnel should not be attempted while on the ground at Weston.
- Aircraft must avoid over-flying the Technology Campus and the Industrial Complex.
3. Rules and Procedures for Navigation within the Weston Area of Responsibility
3.1 Rules and procedures for navigation within the Weston Area of Responsibility of the Dublin CTR are available from the manager, Weston aerodrome and compliance with these is mandatory. Some of the principal Rules and Procedures are as follows:
- A flight plan is mandatory;
- A mode C transponder is mandatory;
- A maximum of three aircraft only may operate in the visual training circuit simultaneously;
- Adhere to the circuit in use as specified by ATS;
- Adhere to the circuit procedures as provided at 2 below;
4. Circuit Procedures
4.1 Caution: A left circuit off RWY 25 or right circuit off RWY 07 may result in an inadvertent penetration of EIR15. By arrangement between Weston and the Military these circuits will only be available for use when clearance from the Military ATS, Casement Aerodrome has been obtained by Weston ATS; this is subject to military activity. When permission is granted by the Military ATS for use of the above RWY25/07 circuits it is based on the premise that aircraft will remain North of the railway line at all times. At all other times at Weston, circuits to RWY 25 shall be right-hand and circuits to RWY 07 shall be left-hand.
4.2 All altitudes are based on QNH.
4.3 When RWY 25 left circuit is in use the standard circuit will be:
Runway 25 – Left Circuit
- After take-off climb straight ahead to 650ft QNH, no later than the end of the reservoir begin a gentle RIGHT turn climbing to 1000 ft QNH.
- On reaching 1000 ft QNH turn LEFT onto the crosswind leg, and continue the turn onto the downwind leg making sure you are north of the railway line at all times.
- Turn left onto base leg when abeam the SPA Hotel remaining clear of Lucan village.
- Establish finals no lower than 650 ft. QNH.
4.4 When RWY 25 right circuit is in use the standard circuit will be:
Runway 25 – Right Circuit
- After take-off climb straight ahead to 650ft QNH, no later than the end of the reservoir begin a gentle RIGHT turn climbing to 1000 ft QNH.
- On reaching 1000 ft QNH turn right onto the downwind leg.
- Downwind to be flown South of Leixlip at 1000 ft. QNH
- Turn right onto base leg when abeam the SPA Hotel.
- Establish finals no lower than 650 ft. QNH
4.5 When RWY 07 left circuit is in use the standard circuit will be:
Runway 07 – Left Circuit
- After take-off and established in a positive climb, upon passing the end of the runway (NO EARLIER), begin a gentle LEFT turn (to clear the housing estate on the right), climbing to 1000 ft QNH.
- On reaching 1000 ft QNH, turn left onto downwind (Do not overfly Leixlip town)
- Downwind to be flown South of Leixlip at 1000 ft. QNH
- Turn left onto base leg before reaching end of reservoir avoiding over-flight of the Technology Campus.
- Establish finals no lower than 650 ft. QNH.
4.6 When RWY 07 right circuit is in use the standard circuit will be:
Runway 07 – Right Circuit
- After take-off and established in a positive climb, upon crossing the end of the runway (NO EARLIER), begin a gentle LEFT turn (to clear the housing estate on the right), climbing to 1000ft QNH.
- Upon passing 650 ft QNH, turn RIGHT onto crosswind leg.
- Downwind to be flown to the North of Railway line at all times

EIWT AD 2.23 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Weston is a busy VFR airfield located 8 NM from Dublin airport and 3 NM from Casement Military Airport. There have been instances of inadvertent penetration of controlled and restricted airspace by aircraft operating to/from Weston.
An aircraft which is unsure of position when flying in proximity to Weston should take action to avoid inadvertent penetration of controlled and restricted airspace. If during a flight, a pilot becomes aware that an aircraft has inadvertently penetrated controlled or restricted airspace, then Dublin ATC or Baldonnel ATC, as appropriate, must be contacted, without delay, and provided with relevant information.
Every operator of aircraft using Weston aerodrome must ensure that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable to areas surrounding the airport.
Prior permission for use of Weston must be obtained. Filing of a flight plan does not constitute prior permission. A Booking-in Form or Booking-out Form, as appropriate, is mandatory for use of Weston. These are available from the Weston Operations Office
