Stansted departures are split between two sectors, with Northbound departures (BKY/BUZAD/CPT) being handed to FIN and Southbound departures (CLN/DVR/LAM/LYD) being handed to NE DEPS.

Aircraft should be transferred by ADC to the area sectors or FIN (ESSEX if FIN is not online) straight after departure, preferably no later than 2000ft:

• If NE DEPS is not online, aircraft should be handed to SE DEPS.
• If no TC sector is online, aircraft should be handed to AC S20
• If no TC sector, nor AC S20 is online, aircraft should be handed to AC S10.
• If no TC nor AC sector is online, aircraft should be handed to SS FIN.
• If SS FIN is not online, aircraft should be handed to SS INT.
• If no TC, AC or approach unit is online, departures should be released to UNICOM.

BKY/BUZAD/CPT Departures

BKY/BUZAD/CPT departures should be handed to SS FIN (or SS INT if FIN is not online). These departures operate on a free flow system - The tower doesn't have to call up for a release on every aircraft.

• Runway 22: These departures should be climbed to min stack level provided they remain west of a line running between the airfield and BKY.
• Runway 04: These departures should be climbed initially to 5000ft. Once west of a line running between the airfield and BKY, the should be climbed to min stack level.

Once the departures are climbing to min stack level, they should be handed to NW DEPS.

CLN/DVR/LYD Departures

CLN/DVR/LYD departures should be handed to NE DEPS. These departures operate on a release system. A release must be requested by AIR to NE DEPS. These aircraft must not get airborne without approval from NE DEPS.

LAM Departures

LAM departures must only be used for aircraft with a destination of London Heathrow (EGLL). A release must be requested by AIR to NE DEPS. These aircraft must not get airborne without approval from NE DEPS.

Departure Separations

For the purpose of route separation Stansted SIDs are divided into 3 groups: CLN/DVR/LYD/LAM, and BKY/BUZAD and CPT. For all runways, separation is:
