| VFR Departure Clearances
VFR traffic will start up at their own discretion, as there is no need for light aircraft to request start whilst parked on the General Aviation Apron Aircraft will call Tower for taxi instructions, at which point they will be instructed to the relevant holding point (as described above) and issued with their VFR departure clearance which will be co-ordinated with Cardiff Radar (LARS).
All VFR departures will route via a valid VFR Exit Route.
Here is a list of the Cardiff VFR Exit and Entry Routes:
