Aircrews should check the Route Availability Documents (RAD) website at also available from the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU) Network Operations Portal (NOP) Public website at pec/index.html. The RAD will include European IFR route restrictions and availability. (603 AOC/AMD/ FIL )) 2. Aviators will utilize preferred routing which are posted on the AFOD web site ( (AFOD/FIL ) 3. US Army ONLY - Flight Plan Filing - At other than USA airfields, inclusion of the re-addressee indicator ETEEYWYX on the third line of the addressee portion of the flight plan is required to ensure that the information will be transmitted to the AFOD. Aviators are further required to ensure that a departure and arrival message is sent to the AFOD for each leg of the flight. The following remark will be placed in ITEM 18 of the DD form 1801: RMK/REQ DEP and/or ARR to ETEEYWYX. For additional exceptions to flight planning procedures, check the AP/2, FLIGHT PLANNING entry for each REGION and COUNTRY in which flight operations will be conducted. (AFOD/USA FIL ) 4. EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR THE SAFETY OF AIR NAVIGATION (EUROCONTROL) (603 AOC/AMD-AMCT/IFPU USERS MANUAL) a. EUROCONTROL is the European air traffic management agency responsible for approving flight plans, and for controlling the flow of traffic throughout European airspace. EUROCONTROL is organized into two divisions, the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS), and the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). b. IFPS receives, processes, and distributes IFR/GAT flight plan data within the area covered by the participating States, known as the IFPS Zone (IFPZ). Find a current list of participating states within the IFPS Users Manual from the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU) Network Operations Portal (NOP) Public Website at c/index.html. c. Detailed procedures or information pertaining to either the IFPS or the CFMU not found in the following paragraphs can be found on the EUROCONTROL web site ( d. In the context of this document, Aircraft Operator (AO) is either the pilot in command or a FAR Part 121 type dispatch operation when applicable. NOTE: Information contained in the following paragraphs is taken from EUROCONTROL manuals and is only part of what is provided by EUROCONTROL in the three primary EUROCONTROL documents, (1) General and CFMU Systems, (2) IFPS Users Manual, and (3) ATFM Users Manual. Pilots should review each of these three documents, which are posted on the EUROCONTROL web site, c/index.html for additional information and greater detail. 5. FLIGHT PLANNING a. Electronic Flight Plan filing (1) AFOD WIESBADEN ( (AFOD/FIL ) b. DD Form 1801, Item 10: EQUIPMENT (1) Enter Y in item 10 of the flight plan for 8.33 khz compliance, otherwise enter COM/EXM833 (if operating in 8.33 airspace) in item 18. (USAASD-E/FIL ) c. DD Form 1801, Item 13: TIME.

30 1-2 FLIGHT PLANNING (1) Enter the Estimated Off Block Time (EOBT). The EOBT is the desired takeoff time minus the aerodrome Standard Taxi Time (STT), explained below. (IFPS Users Manual). (2) Standard Taxi Time (STT): CFMU uses STT for computing Calculated Takeoff Times (CTOT, or slot time). Take the desired takeoff time and subtract the value of STT to computed the EOBT. Use a default value of 10 minutes if the STT for the airport of departure is unknown. STT calculations are integrated into the IMT Web. EBCV 5 ETAR 5 LIPA 5 EDDF 15 HECA 15 LIRN 10 EDDS 11 LEMO 5 LITP 5 EGWU 5 LERT 5 LPLA 5 EGUN 10 LETO 5 LQSA 5 EGUL 10 LGSA 15 LQTZ 5 EHAM 15 LGTS 5 LTAC 7 ETAD 5 LICZ 5 LTAG 5 d. DD Form 1801, Item 15: ROUTE. (1) Operational Air Traffic (OAT)/General Air Traffic (GAT). OAT indicates any portion of the route of a flight operating under military air traffic services and GAT indicates operation under civil air traffic services. OAT service is generally provided on routes where TACAN provides course guidance. France treats military flights on published TACAN routes as military GAT, except when the flight is operated according to OAT procedures listed under France in Chapter 3 of this document. Insert the indicators /OAT and /GAT or OAT and GAT after the published civil point to switch between OAT and GAT. When entering the North Atlantic Tracks via UK use the proper OAT/GAT reversion points listed in Chapter 3 of this document under United Kingdom. (IFPS Users Manual). (2) The last point of the SID should be the first point on the route. (IFPS Users Manual) (3) The last point on the route should be the first point of the STAR. (IFPS Users Manual) (AFOD/FIL ) (4) ateway/spec/index.html provides access to Route Availability Document (RAD) and a flight plan validator (IFPUV) to check the flight plan prior to filing. GDSS Web links directly to the IFPUV. (AFOD/FIL ) (5) STAY INDICATOR: Effective April 04, a flight plan may indicate an en route delay in item 15 and 18 with the STAY indicator. Format is STAYn/hhmm where n represents the sequence number of the delays, starting with 1, hh represents the number of hours and mm represents the number of minutes of the delay. The route of flight must remain within the IFPZ, listed in section 12 of IFPS Users Manual. e. DD Form 1801, Field 18: OTHER INFORMATION (1) The IFPS processes recognized or valid indicators found in FIELD18. An unrecognized indicator may cause an error or may be ignored. (IFPS Users Manual) (2) Estimated Elapsed Time (EET) Indicator (EET/). FIR boundary estimates for IFR/GAT flight plans are not required inside the IFPZ unless mandated by an individual country AIP. (IFPS Users Manual) IFPZ. (3) Include EET for any portion of the flight outside the (4) Enter OPR/DOD in item 18 if U.S. Military operating in the European region. U.S. Army aircrews will enter OPR/USR. (5) Status Indicator (STS/). Indicates special handling. Enter STS/ once and enter each status on the same line separated by a space to ensure IFPS sees the status. STS/ATFMX exempts subject flight from EUROCONTROL departure regulation (slot time). US Army aircrews should review the Status Indicator memorandum on the AFOD website at (AFOD/FIL ) NOTE: Under no circumstance is a US Military pilot to request permission from any state on the use of this exemption. (603 AOC/AMD) (6) Runway Visual Range (RVR) Indicator (RVR/). Use RVR/ to indicate the minimum RVR requirement for landing in meters, e.g., RVR/730. Enter routinely from 01 October to 30 April. Maximum value is 999. (IFPS Users Manual) (7) Date of Flight (DOF/). Always include DOF using the format DOF/yymmdd up to 120 hours (5 days) in advance of EOBT. (IFPS Users Manual) (8) Remarks (RMK/). Include the remark OAT OVER GERMANY for all flights into, out of, or flying over Germany. This is a mandatory statement; however, it does not indicate OAT versus GAT operations which would be indicated in the route of flight as required. (603AOC/AMD-AMCT/FIL (9) Acceptance of Duplicate FPLs. IFPS will not accept multiple/overlapping flight plans. Cancel any flight plans that will not be used. Filing a flight plan over an existing flight plan will not replace the existing flight plan but will instead result in a REJ of the new flight plan. (IFPS Users Manual) (10) Checking by the IFPS. IFPS processes and validates the flight plan. Pilots will test the proposed FPL against the IFPUV Flight Plan validation program prior to filing. Routes specifically designated Military routes in the RAD will return an error but can still be filed successfully. (IFPS Users Manual) (11) Distribution of Messages by the IFPS. The IFPS distributes all IFR/GAT flight plan and associated messages to the appropriate addressees within the IFPZ, and to all extra addresses, regardless of their location, which are provided by the message originator using the Re-addressing Function. Flight plans and associated messages, which are part IFR or GAT, will be addressed automatically by IFPS only to those ATS Units concerned with the IFR or GAT portion of the route. The message originator is always responsible for ensuring the addressing of all appropriate messages to those addressees concerned with VFR or OAT route portions. (IFPS Users Manual) (12) Copy of When filing flight plans at a location inside the IFPZ for continuing movements outside the IFPZ, the AO should be prepared to present non-participating nations with a copy of the desired flight plan(s) upon arrival. Address ETARYXYX on all flight plans filed in EUCOM & CENTCOM AORs except when using the IMT Web. (32 AOC/AMD-AMCT)

31 FLIGHT PLANNING 1-3 (13) Flight plan filing time. File flight plan so as to receive an ACK confirmation message no later than three hours prior to desired EOBT. Flight plans received within three hours are considered late and are more likely to be subject to unfavorable slot times. (14) Flight Plan Acknowledgement Message (ACK). Indicates a successfully filed flight plan. Pilots shall obtain the ACK message to verify the acknowledged route of flight against the filed route and the diplomatic clearance route. With coordination and approval of the AO, EUROCONTROL may on occasion modify a routing to conform to the RAD, but, at the same time, those EUROCONTROL-modified routes may not always conform to diplomatic clearance requirements. Obtain copies of the EUROCONTROL ACK message from base operations or the IMT Web. (15) Flight Plan Reject Message (REJ). Indicates a failed filing attempt. In this case, no flight plan exists in the EUROCONTROL system (except when the REJ is for a duplicate received from another originator, whereby that flight plan is preventing a new filing). 6. USERS PROCEDURES FOR FPL REVISIONS AND ATFM MESSAGE EXCHANGE a. The CFMU, the pilot or an ATC unit on behalf of the pilot may initiate revisions to or cancellations of the last issued CTOTs. All revisions or cancellations are to be made using the ATFM message exchange procedures described below. In all cases, it is in the best interest of pilot to initiate prompt revisions/cancellations thus permitting the system to maximize use of available capacity and minimize delay. (ATFM Users Manual) b. Diversion. If a flight diverts back to its original ADEP for technical or other reasons, file a new flight plan using a different ARCID e.g. RCH123 becomes RCH123A. If this cannot be done, i.e., for Diplomatic Clearances, then cancel the original flight plan and re-file. (ATFM Users Manual) c. Modification of Flight Plan. Any flight plans modified by DLA or CHG may result in a new CTOT. (ATFM Users Manual) d. ATFM Messages Initiated by the CFMU (1) Slot Allocation Message (SAM). ATC clearance assigning a CTOT to the flight issued up to 2 hours prior to filed EOBT. Compliance is mandatory. (USAFE AMOCC/XOF) (2) Slot Requirement Cancellation Message (SLC). Cancels the slot time and the requirement for one. The flight may still receive a SAM if a new restriction is imposed. (ATFM Users Manual) (3) Slot Revision Message (SRM). A SRM is an update to original or subsequent slot times. (ATFM Users Manual) (4) Flight Suspension Message (FLS). The flight does not comply with certain restrictions and is suspended by CFMU. This may be for fog, no movement message received by 30 minutes past expected departure time, or from an SMM. The flight has no active flight plan until a new EOBT is declared via DLA, CHG, or the RVR and EOBT are declared via FCM. This can occur regardless of whether the flight has a slot time. (5) De-suspension message (DES). The flight is no longer suspended and is free to depart. (1) In situations described below, the pilot should request base operations, tower, MOCC, AFOD, or other applicable agency to transmit the appropriate message to either the IFPS or the CFMU. All of these messages are available through the IMT Web. (2) Delay Message (DLA). Use DLA message to move the EOBT to a later time. Do not file for an EOBT earlier than the originally filed EOBT. To establish an earlier EOBT, cancel existing flight plan and re-file for the earlier time. Do not use the DLA for delays caused by the CTOT. (ATFM Users Manual) Use the DLA for any expected delay of more than 15 minutes when not subjected to a slot time or when unable to meet slot time. Failure to follow this procedure may result in FLS. Reactivate the flight with DLA, CHG, or cancel flight with CNL. (ICAO Doc. 4444) (3) Flight Confirmation Message (FCM). Use to reactivate a suspended flight. If the flight was suspended for RVR, enter the RVR value. If the value is not the minimum required the flight will remain suspended until either the plan is cancelled or when weather conditions improve sufficiently to allow arrival. (4) Slot Missed Message (SMM). Send an SMM before the CTOT when unable to meet the CTOT and a new EOBT is NOT known. (ATFM Users Manual) (5) Slot Improvement Proposal Acceptance Message (SPA). Accept a SIP within 15 minutes of transmission if able to meet the new slot time. (ATFM Users Manual) (6) Slot Improvement Proposal Rejection Message (SRJ). Decline a SIP within 15 minutes of transmission if unable to meet the new slot time. (ATFM Users Manual) (7) Ready to Depart (REA). Coordinate with tower if able to depart immediately, up to thirty minutes prior to the filed EOBT. Any new slot time will be no earlier than present time plus the aerodrome standard taxi time and can be before the filed EOBT. (ATFM Users Manual) (8) Request for Direct Improvement (RFI). Effective April 2002, all flights are automatically placed in this status. A flight with a CTOT receives automatic improvements up to approximately 15 minutes prior to filed EOBT. Within 15 minutes of the CTOT (slot time), the CTOT will no longer receive improved times. (9) Slot Improvement Proposal (SIP) Wanted Message (SWM). Indicates the pilot wants to be asked prior to changing the CTOT via SIP and only applies to the leg for which it was sent. f. Exceptional Condition and Low Visibility Operations (Flight Suspension) (1) Implementation of Low Visibility Operations. ATFM low visibility procedures are applicable where low visibility conditions will affect ATC capacity at or around aerodromes. The CFMU may: (a) Trigger the suspension of the flights, which are to land at the aerodrome and restrict the landing traffic to those able to land according to a specified RVR. Flights are suspended until the RVR indicated requirement is met. Flights remain suspended if no valid RVR is given in the subsequent FCM. (b) Issue revised slots at short notice. e. ATFM Messages Initiated by AOs/ATS. (c) The CFMU will send an ANM message describing

32 1-4 FLIGHT PLANNING the situation, in particular the time period and the minimum RVR required. The RVR may be provided via the FPL (FIELD18 e.g. RVR/200; or via an FCM message if the FPL has already been filed. This message may be sent as soon as the AO is aware that there is a risk of low visibility at an aerodrome. 1 The RVR status of the flight inside the CFMU systems determines the messages issued by the CFMU. If the RVR minima of a flight is known and satisfies the minimum required then no message is issued or a SAM/SRM due to a reduction of the landing rate. 2 If the RVR minima of a flight is known and is not sufficient, an FLS is issued which may contain a NEWEOBT or an RVR depending on the situation. 3 If the RVR minima of a flight is not known, the flight is suspended and an FLS is issued indicating the minimum RVR. A RESPBY time is also in the message enabling the AO to keep its present CTOT if the FCM with sufficient RVR is received by the CFMU in due time. The FLS is sent when the exceptional conditions are implemented or at SIT1. Once this occurs, an AO must send a Flight Confirmation Message (FCM) if the flight is able to land within the specified RVR minima. The FCM indicates the RVR capability of the flight. 4 If the RVR minima of the flight is sufficient, CFMU will issue a SAM if the flight is subject to regulations or a DES if the flight is not subject to regulations to the AO. The DES may indicate a NEWEOBT if the EOBT indicated in the FCM is not realistic (e.g. in the past). 5 If the RVR minima of the flight is not sufficient, an FLS or a SAM will be sent. The SAM may indicate a CTOT enabling the flight to land after the end of the fog situation. The management of the situation for the flight will be maximized where the RVR information is provided to the CFMU at the earliest possible time. 6 If the situation deteriorates, flights having RVR minima which still comply receive no message. Flights for which the RVR minima do not meet the new minima becomes insufficient and receives an FLS with the new RVR. If the RVR minima for the flight is not known, the concerned flight(s) receive an FLS with the new RVR minima required. 7 If the situation improves, flights already not suspended or having received a SAM receive no message. Flights whose minima meet that published by the CEU may receive a SAM or a DES or if still being regulated, a SIP or SRM or SLC as appropriate. a Flights whose minima do not meet that published by the CEU receive an FLS with the new RVR. b Flights with unknown minima receive an FLS with the new RVR. (d) When the Exceptional Conditions are canceled, all flights having confirmed their RVR will receive a SAM/DES. All unconfirmed flights will receive an FLS stating RVR 998. These flights still wishing to depart shall send an FCM with a NEWEOBT and RVR 998. Flights that do not send an FCM will remain suspended and be considered as not flying. However, a cancellation of the FPL is required in order to avoid capacity underutilization. g. Aerodrome Closure (1) Short Period Closure. When an aerodrome is to be closed for a short period (less than 3h00), a SAM or an SRM will be issued to indicate the Slot according to the reopening of the aerodrome. An ANM Flash is issued to report on the situation and to update it. SRM or SIP may be issued according to the situation. FPL must be canceled if the flight is not taking place. (2) Longer Closure (Flight Suspension). If the closure is likely to be longer, the CFMU will issue an ANM Flash message and all flights affected will receive an FLS. AO are requested to send an FCM with a new EOBT to confirm the flight and the new departure time. A SAM or a DES is issued 2h00 before the new EOBT. (3) Flights which are diverted to another aerodrome shall cancel their flight plans and refile new ones to ensure accurate data to ATC and to avoid under using the capacity. h. Closure of Airspace (1) The same procedure applies as for the closure of an aerodrome. Proposals for rerouting may be issued by the CFMU. i. Summary of Flight Planning and Air Traffic Flow Management Messages. Symbol Purpose Pilot or AO actions Base Ops or Tower actions. Tower actions are labeled below. FPL Flight plan airspace reservation request from pilot or AO. File to receive ACK three hours prior to EOBT Review & transmit FPL to EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP (AFTN) (SITA) & appropriate AD/OAT/VFR addressees. ACK Successful message processing acknowledgment from IFPS. Compare ACK to actually filed flight plan. Base ops provide a copy to pilot upon request. REJ Unsuccessful message processing response from IFPS. Modify rejected flight plan to comply. Provide a copy to pilot upon request. CHG FPL change request for a later than filed EOBT and fields other than ARCID, ADEP, ADES,EOBD request from pilot or AO. Modify fields as necessary and transmit anytime, but three hours prior to EOBT is desired. Prepare modification and transmit to EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP and appropriate OAT/VFR AFTN addressees.

33 FLIGHT PLANNING 1-5 Symbol Purpose Pilot or AO actions Base Ops or Tower actions. Tower actions are labeled below. DLA EOBT modification request to alter time from pilot or AO. When not regulated by slot time, transmit DLA whenever expected delay exceeds 30 minutes. When regulated, transmit SRR first followed by the exact SRR EOBT value as the DLA value. Transmit to EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP and appropriate OAT/VFR AFTN addressees. CNL Flight plan airspace reservation request cancellation message from pilot or AO. Remove flight plan from system to prevent the unused but anticipated flight from blocking airspace that could be used by other aircraft. Transmit to EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP and OAT/VFR addressees as appropriate. FLS CFMU suspends the flight until pilot or AO responds with either a situationally compatible RVR value, or SRR. Determine the cause for suspension and respond. Flight cannot proceed beforehand. Contacts C2 or aircraft with status. Base ops or tower. REA Coordinated ready message request by pilot and tower for up to a 30-minute earlier than filed EOBT and automatic slot improvement when available. Pilot must be at the controls and completed checklist items to allow for immediate acceptance of a new slot time if available. Tower transmits intentions to EUCHZMTA (AFTN) or BRUEA7X(SITA) no earlier than thirty (30) minutes prior to filed EOBT. SWM Pilot or AO request to CFMU to stop RFI process and revert to offering a SIP when available. Consider situation when under RFI. If pilot desires more control over revision process, transmit SWM. Transmit intentions to EUCHZMTA (AFTN) or BRUEA7X (SITA). RFI Request for automatic slot time improvements by pilot or AO when available. Determine if situation allows for automatic reduction of slot delay. USAF movements must request RFI status. For non-usaf movements or USAF movements having sent an SWM, transmit RFI at any time. Transmit intentions to EUCHZMTA (AFTN) or BRUEA7X (SITA). SAM CFMU issues the initial slot time to AO and departure aerodrome. Pilot plans to takeoff at assigned slot time. Tower relays as ATC clearance. Base operations can relay to pilot. SRM CFMU allocates a new slot time to AO and departure aerodrome. Pilot plans to takeoff at revised slot time. Tower relays as ATC clearance. Base operations can relay to pilot. Figure 1 Summary of Flight Planning and Air Traffic Flow Management Messages (32 AOC/AMD-AMCT) 7. OCEANIC PLOTTING CHART PROCEDURES - a. Aircrew will perform gross navigation error check of position prior to coast out using ground based navaids, and verify altimetry for entry into RVSM airspace. TACAN updates, if required, shall be accomplished. After loading ATRCC-CLEARED ROUTE, use of master document and OCEANIC PLOTTING CHART (or equivalent) will be used to plot all ARTCC-CLEARED OCEANIC ROUTE CROSSINGS. As a minimum: (1) Perform gross nav check prior to entry and after exit from OTS track (or random track). (2) Plot ARTCC-CLEARED OCEANIC ROUTE and draw route from entry point to exit point.

Mediterranean Transit Routing. - Sixteenth Air Force, in coordination with ODC Madrid and the USAFE ATCLOs in Spain and France, coordinated the below Mediterranean transit routing to standardize DoD Med passage and reduce impact to the GAT airway system. Those segments of the routes in Spanish and French FIRs/UIRs are entirely within international airspace. They support DoD missions desiring air traffic services and may be flown GAT from start to finish. OAT is an option when transiting the Spanish FIRs/UIRs. 16 AF/DO recommends that DoD aircrews desiring air traffic service: a. While transiting international airspace over the Mediterranean Sea between the Lisboa FIR/FIR and the air-to- air refueling corridors in the Roma FIR/UIR, do so using one of the profiles listed below. b. Fly OAT under Spanish military control in the Madrid and Barcelona FIRs/UIRs.

(2) The pilot must notify ATC whenever the aircraft: (a) Is no longer RVSM compliant due to equipment (b) Experiences loss of redundancy of altimetry (c) Encounters turbulence that affects the capability to maintain flight level. (See Appendix 5 of FAA Interim Guidance 91-RVSM for pilot and controller actions in such contingencies.) (3) During cleared transition between levels, the aircraft should not overshoot or undershoot the assigned flight level by more than 150 (45 meters). (4) PILOT LEVEL CALL. Except in a radar environment, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assigned within RVSM Airspace. h. Height Deviation Reporting. (1) Any deviation which is 300' or more from the assigned level in RVSM or RVSM Transition Airspace, whether intentional or not, should be reported to the NAT CMA. (2) Reporting these events to the NAT CMA is accomplished using the form contained as Attachment 2 to the North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual (NAT Doc 007), available at Document.aspx in the NAT Documents subfolder. It may be filed at the completion of flight or it may be filed by the controlling ATC facility, as appropriate. It should be sent to: Separation Standards Group at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center. Fax North Atlantic Central Monitoring Agency natcma@nats.co.uk. Fax Caribbean and South American Regions Monitoring Agency. Website address: (Select FORMS menu, then "F4 LHD-ENG-in-excel") carsamma@decea.gov.br (AFFSA-XOS/AFFSA-XOS FIL ) i. Flight Planning Requirements (1) The letter "W" shall be inserted in Item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO standard flight plan to indicate that the aircraft is RVSM approved aircraft. j. Procedures for Operation of Non-RVSM Compliant Aircraft in RVSM Airspace. (1) RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation over non-rvsm approved aircraft. (2) The vertical separation minimum between non-rvsm aircraft operating in the RVSM stratum and all other aircraft is 2,000. (3) CONTINUOUS CLIMB/DESCENT OF NON- COMPLIANT AIRCRAFT THROUGH RVSM AIRSPACE. Non-RVSM compliant aircraft may be cleared to climb to and operate above FL410 or descend to and operate below FL290 provided that they: (a) Do not climb or descend at less than the normal rate for the aircraft. (b) Do not level off at an intermediate level while passing through the RVSM stratum. (4) SPECIAL COORDINATION PROCEDURES FOR CRUISE OPERATION OF NON-RVSM COMPLIANT STATE AIRCRAFT IN RVSM AIRSPACE. (a) ATC Notification of non-rvsm compliant State aircraft (those aircraft used in military, custom, and police services shall be deemed state aircraft) is accomplished through filing of an ICAO flight plan. In Field 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan, include "STS/APVD NONRVSM." (b) If approval status of non-rvsm state aircraft is challenged by New York Oceanic, pilots of military aircraft should state that they are operating a state aircraft in accordance with the procedures set out in the WATRS RVSM NOTAM. Problems with accommodation within WATRS RVSM Airspace should be reported to AFFSA/XOP, DSN (c) Approval of all other (non-state) aircraft will be in accordance with the WATRS RVSM NOTAM ( NOTE 1: New York Oceanic will coordinate non-rvsm status with any affected adjacent FIR or facility. NOTE 2: Approval means able to operate in the RVSM stratum. Aircraft operating levels will be subject to Air Traffic Control. k. Procedures for suspension of RVSM - Air Traffic Service providers will consider suspending RVSM procedures within affected areas within the New York FIR and adjacent transition areas when there are pilot reports of greater than moderate turbulence. Within areas where RVSM procedures are suspended, the vertical separation minimum between all aircraft will be 2,000. l. When Able Higher (WAH) Reports (1) To ensure maximum use of available altitudes, aircraft entering RVSM and/or MNPS airspace in the New York FIR should be prepared to advise ATC of the time or position the aircraft can accept the next higher altitude. WAH reports are also used to plan the altitude for aircraft as they transition from RVSM to CVSM altitudes. Therefore it is important that the altitude capability of the aircraft is known by controllers. If the aircraft is capable of a higher altitude that, for whatever reason, is not preferred by the pilot, give the altitude in the WAH report and advise that you prefer not to be assigned that altitude. (2) The procedures will differ for Eastbound and Westbound aircraft since many of the Eastbound aircraft will enter New York MNPS/RVSM Airspace from ATC sectors that have direct controller-pilot communications. ATC acknowledgment of a WAH report is NOT a clearance to change altitude. (a) Eastbound aircraft entering RVSM or MNPS Airspace in the New York FIR-Pilots may be requested by ATC to provide an estimate for when the flight can accept the next higher altitude(s). If requested, pilots should provide this information as soon as possible. (b) Westbound aircraft entering RVSM or MNPS Airspace in the New York FIR-Pilots should include in the initial position report the time or location that the next higher altitude can be accepted.

37 FLIGHT PLANNING 1-9 EXAMPLE - "Global Air 543, 40 north 40 west at 1010, flight level 350, estimating 40 north 50 west at 1110, 40 north 60 west. Next able flight level 360 at 1035." NOTE: Pilots may include more than one altitude if that information is available. EXAMPLE - (after stating initial report) "Able flight level 360 at 1035, able flight level 370 at 1145, able flight level 390 at 1300." m. Mandatory Pilot Reports (1) In addition to reading back altitude assignments, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assigned within RVSM airspace. This serves as a double check between pilots and controllers and reduces the possibility of operational errors. This requirement for altitude readback and reports of reaching assigned altitudes applies to both RVSM and CVSM altitudes (i.e., FL330, 340, 350, 360, and 370). EXAMPLE - (initial altitude readback): "Global Air 543 climbing to flight level 360." (upon reaching assigned altitude): "Global Air 543 level at flight level 360." 13. ICAO has implemented RVSM operations in the EUR/SAM corridor effective 24 January 02. The following procedures have been implemented for aircraft utilizing this airspace. a. The EUR/SAM corridor is the airspace over the South Atlantic (SAT) area which lies within Flight Information Regions of Canarias, Dakar Oceanic, Atlantico and Sal Oceanic. RVSM shall be applicable in that volume of airspace between FL310 and FL410 in the following airspace: (1) From N25 00 W15 30 to N19 00 W19 00 to N17 20 W20 00 to N15 00 W20 00 to N12 58 W21 22 to S W34 21 to S W (Recife VOR) then follow the N continental limits of Brazil until the point S W then to N07 40' W35 00 to N13 30 W37 30 to N17 00 W37 30 to N24 00 W25 00 to N30 00 W25 00 to N30 00 W20 00 to N25 00 W20 00 to N25 00 W (2) This includes ATS Routes UN741, UN866, UN873, B/UB623 and UN857. b. Non-RVSM Aircraft (1) Operators of non-rvsm approved state aircraft with a requested flight level of FL290 or above shall insert STS/NON RVSM in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan form. (2) Operators of formation flights of state aircraft shall not insert the letter W in Item 10 of the ICAO flight plan form, regardless of the RVSM approval status of the aircraft concerned. Operators of formation flights of state aircraft intending to operate with the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace as General Air Traffic (GAT) shall include STS/Non-RVSM in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan form. (3) Operators of Non-RVSM approved state aircraft intending to operate within the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace shall include the following in Item 15 of the ICAO flight plan form: (a) The entry point at the lateral limits of the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace and the requested flight level for that portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM entry point; and (b) The exit point at the lateral limits of the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace and the requested flight level for that portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM exit point. c. Crossing Traffic - For the purpose of this application, crossing traffic is defined as all that traffic entering or leaving the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace along its E or W boundaries (i.e. at any point other than its N (Canarias) or S (Brazil transition area) boundaries). Crossing traffic can flight plan to enter and leave the RVSM Airspace at any point along its boundaries, indicating in the flight plan the coordinates and estimated time of the entering and exit points into the RVSM Airspace and of the crossing of each of the fixed ATS routes. Crossing traffic should flight plan to operate through the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace at conventional flight levels, i.e., E to W FL310, 350, 390 and W to E FL290, 330, 370. (1) Traffic crossing the EUR/SAM corridor should flight plan to enter and exit the EUR/SAM corridor RVSM Airspace at the following published points: EGIMI, DIKEB, OBKUT, ORARO, BODAK, NOISE and DIGOR. The time estimates over each point must be inserted in Item 18 of flight plan. (2) Antigua and Ascension Island Route users must comply with these requirements until such time as the Antigua and Ascension Island Route is officially designated an international airway and receives official recognition. EGIMI - N W Entry/Exit DIKEB - N W UN741 OBKUT - N W UN866 ORARO- N W UN873 BODAK- N W B/UB623 NOISE - N W UN857 DIGOR - N W Entry/Exit (3) All crossing traffic intending to operate through the RVSM Airspace must obtain an ATC clearance. This should be requested sufficiently in advance to preclude operational difficulties from the ACC responsible for the first RVSM Airspace to be entered, or in case of communications difficulties, from any of the ACC concerned with the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace or still from any other adjacent ACC. (AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 02-13) SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES IN OCEANIC AREAS AND REMOTE AREAS - 1. If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, and/or an aircraft is unable to maintain the navigation performance accuracy specified for the airspace, a revised clearance shall be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action. 2. The radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times shall be used as appropriate. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft shall be based on the intentions of the pilot and the overall air traffic situation. 3. If prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time and, until a revised clearance is received, the pilot shall: a. Leave the assigned route or track by initially turning at least 45 degrees to the right or to the left, in order to acquire a same or opposite direction track offset 15 NM (28 km) from the assigned track centerline. When possible, the direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to any

38 1-10 FLIGHT HAZARDS organized route or track system. Other factors which may affect the direction of turn are: tracks. (1) The direction to an alternate airport, (2) Terrain clearances (3) Any strategic lateral offset being flown; and (4) The flight levels allocated on adjacent routes or FAA NOTE: A turn of less than or greater to 90 degrees may be required depending on the type of contingency and whether the pilot intends to continue in the same direction or reverse course. b. Having initiated the turn, the pilot should: (1) If unable to maintain the assigned flight level, initially minimize the rate of descent to the extent that is operationally feasible (pilots should take into account the possibility that aircraft below on the same track may be flying a 1 or 2 NM strategic lateral offset procedure (SLOP)) and select a final altitude which differs from those normally used by 500 ft (150 m) if at or below FL410, or by 1000 ft (300 m) if above FL410; or (2) If able to maintain the assigned flight level, once the aircraft has deviated 10 NM (19 km) from the assigned track centerline, climb or descend to select a flight level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft (150 m), if at or below FL410, or by 1000 ft (300 m) if above FL410; c. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals; aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate) and intentions on the frequency in use and on MHz (or, as back-up, on the inter-pilot air-to-air frequency MHz); d. Maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (TCAS)(if equipped); e. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations); (SPEC/ICAO ) f. Keep the SSR transponder on at all times; and g. Take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft. 4. When leaving the assigned track to acquire and maintain the track laterally separated by 28 km (15 NM), the flight crew, should, where practicable, avoid overshooting the track to be acquired, particularly in airspace where a 55.5 km (30 NM) lateral separation minimum is applied. EXTENDED RANGE OPERATIONS BY AIRCRAFT WITH TWO- TURBINE POWER-UNITS (ETOPS) 1. If the contingency procedures are employed by a twinengine aircraft as a result of an engine shutdown of failure of an ETOPS critical system, the pilot should advise ATC as soon as practicable of the situation, reminding ATC of the type of aircraft involved, and request expeditious handling. (AFFSA/ICAO DOC 4444 Sec. 15.2) CLEARANCE INFORMATION - 1. PROCEDURES FOR ALTITUDE RESERVATIONS - Flights of two or more aircraft transiting European airspace may be required to be on an altitude reservation. a. Altitude reservation requests for flights originating or operating within the European Command area of responsibility shall be IAW FAA Order and , USAFE Instruction , and procedures outlined below. In those areas where host nation ATC authorities have consummated an agreement with the USAF, deviation from the above prescribed directives is authorized. b. The European Central Altitude Reservation Facility (EUCARF), located at Ramstein AB, GE, is designated the single manager for coordinating ALTRV requests of the DOD IAW the references outlined above. EUCARF is operational from Z++ Mon thru Fri, it is closed weekends and US holidays. Between Z++ weekdays and on weekends and holidays EUCARF is closed, an answering machine is available to provide alternate contact instructions. For time sensitive matters outside of normal operating hours (real time changes to already approved missions or new Priority 1-4 missions) contact the EUCARF on call controller via the USAFE Command Center, Ramstein AB, DSN (314) c. Direct filing of ALTRV approval requests (APREQs) with EUCARF may be accomplished via to eucarf@ramstein.af.mil or via fax to DSN (314) or commercial (1) EUCARF is a coordinating agency only, without jurisdiction over the airspace concerned.

TRAILING WIRE ANTENNA OPERATIONS - Operation consists of aircraft flying a specified track with a wire antenna (of various lengths) and drogue trailing behind and below the aircraft. All operations are conducted on IFR flight plans and announced by NOTAM. 2. PARACHUTE JUMPING AREAS - Extreme caution must be used when aircraft fly thru or participate in parachute jumping activities (Drop Zone.) The parachute jumping areas listed in FLIP, are only "considered as a navigational warning". The burden of flight safety is placed on the user of the area rather than other aircraft operating in the area. 3. WARNING TO ACFT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AND MIDDLE EAST AREAS - Every precautionary measure will be taken by DOD aircrews flying in the Mediterranean and Middle East areas to insure strict adherence to FCG criteria and overflight clearance authorization specifications. Dates, times, routes, and compulsory check points specified in overflight clearance authorization must be adhered to exactly. Base Operations clearance personnel will check every aspect of the flight plan and clearance authorization to insure that flight plans are in accordance with overflight authorizations, national boundary route/flight restrictions and the FCG. Base OPS officers will impress upon all aircrews flying within the Mediterranean and Middle East areas that unless every precaution is taken to insure compliance with dates, times, routes and compulsory check points while flying in the country s designated corridor, airways

39 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1-11 and ADR s interception by fighter aircraft will undoubtedly occur and an international incident may result. NOTE: Due to controlling agencies and limited airspace, aircraft are advised to use extreme caution when transiting between TOSKA CRP (N E ) and TOMBI CRP (N E ) 4. Caution must be exercised at all times when using LF/MF navigational aids in the European/Mediterranean Region. Extreme frequency congestion exists, coupled with minimum frequency protection. At night, an increased radiation phenomena is experienced which increases the reception range of all LF/MF aids; however, this causes a further deterioration of frequency protection. Exercise extreme caution in the identification and use of radio beacons and radio range stations within Europe, particularly adjacent to ADIZ. It is possible to get positive station identification and have the ADF needles point to an entirely different station due to similar frequencies and greater output of the adjacent station. All radio beacons listed in DOD FLIP Europe North Africa and Middle East Enroute Supplement may be unreliable beyond 25 NM. Aircrews experiencing suspected intentional interference of radio navigational aids report IAW appropriate service directives. Use extreme caution at all time. (USAFE DO/AFFSA) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. NEAR COLLISION REPORT a. When flight safety is jeopardized by another close flying aircraft, the incident will be reported as a NEAR COLLISION OPERATIONAL HAZARD. When a near collision incident occurs, the aircraft commander will report the following by radio to the nearest ATC Agency: "THIS IS A NEAR COLLISION REPORT", the particulars of the incident, complete position report and advise ATC that "A complete report will be filed upon landing at destination". If a tactical call sign is being used, do not identify the unit the pilot is assigned to in the airborne radio transmission. Phone and electrical message associating a single aircraft tactical call sign with the base of assignment are permitted. (1) USAF Aircrews will follow guidelines from NATO STANAG 3750, Reporting and Investigation of Air Traffic - Incidents, but will file an AF Form 651, Hazardous Air Traffic Report form vice the NATO AIRPROX. (AFFSA/USAF FIL 61/00) b. When the aircraft lands at destination, the pilot will forward the following information, in the order listed below, to the nearest Flying Safety Office and/or AFOD, as appropriate. If the incident occurred within the USCINCMEAFSA area of responsibility refer to the classified supplement USAF FCG for additional instructions or US Air, Army and Naval Attaches if FCG is not available. Aircraft call sign, type and position in formation if appropriate: Identification of other aircraft involved; heading, altitude, flight maneuver, flight conditions, time and place of near collision; proximity to other aircraft and evasive action taken by either aircraft; ATC/ACW Agency working with at the time of occurrence. c. If the near collision involves a civilian aircraft, in addition to the above, USAF pilots will make an OPREP-3 Beeline report to the USAFE Command Post. d. USN pilots who can not obtain Operational Hazard Report forms will follow the reporting instructions in para b. above. NOTE: Close proximities occurring during ordered interceptions will not be considered as near collisions unless unauthorized or dangerous tactics are used by the interceptor. (USAFE-DO/AFFSA) 2.

47 EUROPEAN REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-7 a. "Conditional Routes" (CDR) are part of the Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) Concept. CDR complement the permanent ATS network and are published on FLIP enroute charts. The purpose of CDR is to allow flights to be planned on and to use ATS routes, or portions thereof, that are not always available. CDR are established through potential areas of temporary segregation identified under the generic term "Temporary Segregated Areas" (TSA). The conditions for the use of CDR will be published, daily in national "European Airspace Use Plans" (EAUP) and European Updated Use Plans (EUUP) and the internationally by EUROCONTROL at: ec/index.html (FCC/TNXA) b. CDR are divided into three different categories according to their foreseen availability, their flight planning potential and the anticipated level of activity of the associated TSA. A CDR can be established in one or more of the following categories: (1) Category One (CDR1) (a) Permanently plannable. (b) Available for most of the time. (c) Flights will be planned in the same way as planned for permanent ATS routes. (d) Any re-routing around associated TSA will be made on ATC instructions only. (e) For the calculation of fuel consumption, alternate routes are published. (2) Category Two (CDR2) (a) CDR are part of pre-defined routing scenarios which respond to specific capacity imbalances. (b) Flights will be planned only in accordance with conditions published, daily, in the CRAM. (c) Possible re-routing on ATC instructions only. (3) Category Three (CDR3) (a) Not plannable. c. Per guidance from the FLIP Coordinating Committee (FCC), AP/2 Flight Information Publication will no longer maintain information on the following: (1) ATS Remarks (2) ATS CDR 2 and 3 route information This action will effect all countries within AP/2 and will be implemented upon publication 2 JUN 2011 and all cycles that follow. For the most up to date route availability and conditional information see the CFMU website: Usable on ATC instruction as short notice only. AERIAL REFUELING 1.

49 BIRD HAZARD DATA 1. BIRD CONCENTRATION AREAS/ROUTES EUROPE a. GENERAL - Large scale movements of migrating birds occur during various months in the European-Mediterranean and UK areas. There are also large concentrations of nesting, breeding, and wintering birds, often numbering in the millions, that may create a hazard to flight. The number & types of birds, areas of concentration, and height of flight vary from month to month and country to country; the associated charts are generalized depictions of areas of bird concentrations and migrating routes and should be used in conjunction with the specific details by each countries bird hazard data. EUROPEAN REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-9 b. BIRDTAMS - An elaborate bird monitoring system has been developed and is being used by Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, and The Netherlands to generate Birdstrike risk intensity levels. The birdstrike risk intensity levels range from 0 (nil birdstrike risk) to 8 (extremely great birdstrike risk). Only levels 5 to 8 are reported. Aircrews flying over Central Europe, to include Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, and The Netherlands should consult the DoD NOTAM web site at during flight planning. BIRDTAMS 0 to 2 correspond to Bird Watch Condition LOW, 3 to 5 MODERATE, and 6 to 8 SEVERE. An example map depicting BIRDTAM coverage is shown on page (AFFSA-XOS/AFFSA-XOS FIL )

53 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROCEDURES FOR AIRCRAFT FLYING IN THE ADRIATIC SEA - United States military forces are operating in the Adriatic Sea. In view of the present state of increasing tensions in the Adriatic Sea, the timely and accurate identification of aircraft in this area is essential to preclude the inadvertent use of military force against civil aircraft. The U.S. forces are prepared to exercise such self-defense measures as may be necessary to ensure their safety in the event they are approached by unidentified aircraft (fixed wing or rotary wing) or aircraft whose intentions are unclear. To better enable U.S. military forces to identify aircraft, all aircraft flying within or entering the airspace over the Adriatic Sea north of forty (40) degrees North latitude should maintain a continuous listening watch on one or both international emergency frequencies (VHF KHz and UHF MHz). Aircraft equipped with a civil weather-avoidance radar and/or an operational civil type radar transponder should operate both continuously when transiting these areas. Unident aircraft and those whose intentions are unclear to US military forces will be contact using the English language on VHF and UHF and request to identify themselves and to state their intentions. Such contacts may originate from military surface or airborne units. US radio communications will use standard phraseology and will specify the aircraft's flight information, as available, to include; heading, flight level or altitude, SSR/IFF squawk, geographical coordinates, and ground speed. Aircraft receiving advisory calls should acknowledge receipt and understanding of the warnings on the frequency received, and provide the information requested. In the event the aircraft in question remains unidentified and/or is deemed to pose a threat to U.S. military forces, an emergency situation exists. The pilot must be prepared to exercise his emergency authority to deviate from ATC clearance, comply with recommended heading and/or altitude change provided by U.S. military forces, and notify the appropriate ATC facility of the deviation and the need for an amended clearance. Flight crews are further advised that failure to respond to radio transmissions or respond to or comply with advice given may place the aircraft at risk. Aircraft transiting the areas mentioned above may minimize the exposure to the advisory procedure by maintaining an altitude (AFFSA/XOIA FIL 96-99) EUROPEAN REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-13 above FL250; avoiding offairway routing; executing all climbs and descents within national airspace; and by avoiding abrupt and unusual change of heading and/or altitude which may be construed as inconsistent with normal civil aircraft flight pattern. Illumination of a U.S. military unit with a weapons-type fire control radar will be viewed with suspicion and could result in an immediate military defensive action. This information is being provided solely to preclude the potential for any misinterpretation or misunderstanding which could result in an unfortunate accident; it does not affect the freedom of navigation of any individual or state. (USAFE/CL II NOTAM A-14-92) TELEPHONE CONTACTS NOTE: DOD Users to reserve Air refueling corridors in Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and Malta, contact the European Central Altitude Reservation Facility (EUCARF) via: EUCARF@us.af.mil, DSN (314) (fax: 9855), or Commercial (fax: 9855). NOTE: For information concerning altitude reservations in European, Eastern Atlantic (east of 05000W line of longitude), Mediterranean, or African airspace, contact European Central Altitude Reservation Facility (EUCARF) via: EUCARF@us.af.mil, DSN (314) (fax: 9855), or Commercial (fax: 9855). (HQ USAFE-A3CA-AIRSPACE/HQ USAFE-A3CA- AIRSPACE FIL ) NOTE: In areas designated as permanently available for Air-to-Air Refueling (AARA), the amount of warning concerning refueling operations can be so minimal as to preclude notification by normal methods. However, the units listed under ATC control column will be able to advise pilots on activity status in appropriate (AARAs). Where Air-to-Air Refueling Areas conflict with Airways, Advisory Routes or Upper Air Routes, civil/military coordination procedures are applied to minimize disruption to the plan flight profiles or the aircraft concerned.

(SPEC/MNPSA Ops Man 3.2.1) NOTE: Certain countries have established tracks/routes to transition over water to travel between countries (UK to Ireland, North America to Caribbean, NOTA, SOTA, BOTA, etc..). For details on these specific routes, see specific country entry within Chapter 3 of AP2). 6. MILITARY COLOR CODED (NAT) ROUTES a. These routes are designated primarily for tactical fighter deployments or for AMC aircraft and have been developed within AMC/TACC to facilitate the activation of short-notice altitude reservations. This information is for planning purposes only and the color code is purely for internal AMC/TACC reference. When discussing these routes with agencies other than TACC/XOC, use the full route coordinates, the details are held within TACC/XOC. b. Use of these tracks requires coordination - with Central Altitude Reservation Function (CARF) for eastbound flights from the United States, and European Central Altitude Reservation Function (EUCARF) for westbound flights from the east (Europe, Middle East, etc.) - via ALTRV APREQ (Altitude Reservation Approval Request) before they may be used. CARF/EUCARF will issue an ALTRV APVL (Altitude Reservation Approval) message finalizing the use of the airspace. (618 AOC-XOCZF/AFFSA-XOS FIL ) 7. NAT ORGANIZED TRACK SYSTEM (NAT OTS) a. The agreed OTS is promulgated by means of the NAT Track Message via AFTN to all interested addresses. A typical time of publication of the day-time OTS is 2200Z and the night-time OTS is 1400Z. The hours of validity of the two OTSs are normally 1130Z-1900Z at W30 for daytime OTS and 0100Z-0800Z at W30 for nighttime OTS. (SPEC/MNPSA Ops Man 2.3) b. The most northerly Track of a day OTS is designated as NAT Track Alpha, the adjacent track to the south as NAT Track Bravo, etc. In the case of the structure published for night use, the most southerly track is designated NAT Track Zulu, the adjacent track to the north is designated NAT Track Yankee, etc.

58 2-18 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES c. Flight levels are allocated for use within the track structure to make optimum use of the available airspace. (SPEC/UK AIP ENR ) d. NAT TRACK MESSAGE (1) The originating OAC identifies each NAT Track Message, within the Remarks section appended to the end of the NAT Track message, by means of a 3-digit Track Message Identification (TMI) number equivalent to the Julian calendar date on which the OTS is effective (The Julian calendar date is a simple progression of numbered days without reference to months, with numbering starting from the first day of the year. i.e. the OTS effective on February 1 st will be identified by TMI 032). (2) If any subsequent NAT Track amendments affecting the entry/exit point, route of flight (co-ordinates), or flight level allocation are made, the whole NAT Track Message will be reissued. The reason for this amendment will be shown in the Notes and a successive alphabetic character (i.e. A, then B, etc..) will be added to the end of the TMI number (e.g. TMI 032A). (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 2.3) (3) The remarks section is an important element of the Track Message that may vary significantly from day to day and includes essential information that Shanwick or Gander need to bring to the attention of operators.

(SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 2.4) MINIMUM NAVIGATION AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS (MNPS) 1. MINIMUM NAVIGATION AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS (MNPS) - The MNPS shall be applicable in that volume of airspace between FL285 and FL420 within the Oceanic Areas of Santa Maria, Shanwick, Reykjavik, Gander Oceanic, and New York, excluding the area west of W060 and south of N (SPEC/IC AIP ENR 1.8-3) a. The mathematical standards set for flights within MNPS airspace can be approximated operationally as follows: (1) Aircraft must be operated so that lateral deviations from track remain less than 12.6 NM for at least 95% of the time the system is required for navigation. (2) the navigation system must demonstrate a continuing capability to keep lateral deviations from cleared track in excess of 30NM or less than 53 per 100,000 flight hours in the system, and (3) keep lateral deviations between 50 and 70NM from the cleared track, to less than 13 per 100,000 flight hours in the system. (SPEC/UK AIP ENR )

59 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-19 b. When granting approval for operations in MNPS airspace, States of Registry shall ensure that in-flight operating drills include mandatory navigation cross-checking procedures which will identify navigation errors in sufficient time to prevent the aircraft inadvertently deviating from the ATC cleared route. c. The operator who experiences reduced navigation performance shall inform air traffic control as soon as practicable. (SPEC/IC AIP ENR 1.8-3) d. The submission of a flight plan alone does not constitute NAT MNPS operating approval. Pilots/Operators unable to provide confirmation of MNPS capabilities will be issued an Oceanic Clearance to operate outside MNPSA (below FL285 or above FL420). (SPEC/UK AIP ENR ) e. Navigational Equipment Required for MNPS Operations (1) Two fully serviceable Long Range Navigational Systems (LRNS) which may include one Inertial Navigation System (INS), one Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), or one navigation system using the inputs from one or more Inertial Reference System (IRS) or any other sensor system complying with MNPS requirements. (2) Each LRNS must be capable of providing to the flight crew with a continuous indication of the aircraft position relative to desired track. (3) it is highly desirable that the navigation system employed for the provision of steering guidance is capable of being coupled to the auto-pilot. (SPEC/UK AIP ENR ) f. Routes for Aircraft with only one Long Range Navigation System (1) A number of routes have been developed for aircraft equipped with only one Long Range Navigation System (LRNS) and carrying normal short-range navigation equipment (VOR/DME, ADF). It is recognized that these routes are within HLA, and that State approval must be obtained prior to flying along them. (a) ATSIX(N60 W010 ) N61 W ALDAN KFV (HF is required on this route) (b) RATSU(N61 W010 ) ALDAN KFV (Non HF equipped aircraft can use this route) (c) GOMUP(N57 W010 ) N60 W015 N61 W BREKI KFV (VHF coverage does not exist between GOMUP and N60 W015, HF is required on this route) (d) MOXAL RATSU (e) OSKUM RATSU (f) KFV SOPEN DA SF YFB (g) KFV EPENI N63 W030 N61 W040 OZN (h) OZN N59 W050 AVUTI PRAWN YDP (i) (j) OZN N59 W050 CUDDY PORGY HO OZN N58 W050 HOIST YYR (k) SF DARUB(N67 W060 ) YXP (l) KU EPMAN(N66 W060 ) YXP (m) KU N64 W060 MUSVA(N64 W063 ) - YFB (n) RE N69 30 W CP (SPEC/IC AIP ENR ) NOTE: Routes (a) thru (k) are known as Blue Spruce routes and are now referred to as Special routes. Continuous VHF coverage exists on these routes at FL310 and above except where stated. g. Routes for Aircraft with Short Range Navigation Equipment Only (1) The following routes may be flown with short range navigation equipment, but State approval for MNPS operations is still necessary. (a) VALDI MY ING KFV (G3) (b) PEMOS MY (G11) (SPEC/IC AIP ENR ) NOTE: For MNPS information unique to each country and/or airspace, see the specific country entry within Chapter 3 of the AP2. The letter X must still be included to show that the aircraft satisfies MNPS lateral navigation performance requirements. POSITION REPORTING - Standard except for position report criteria unique to each country and/or airspace, see the specific country entry within Chapter 3 of the AP2. 1. GENERAL a. In the North Atlantic Region there are six aeronautical radio stations, one associated with each Oceanic Control Area: Bodo Radio, Gander Radio, Iceland Radio, New York Radio, Santa Maria Radio, and Shanwick Radio. b. Each individual aircraft is normally allocated a primary and a secondary HF frequency, either when it receives its clearance or by domestic controllers shortly before the oceanic boundary. c. When initiating contact with an aeradio station, the pilot should state the HF frequency in use. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.1) d. Inter-pilot air-to-air VHF facility is and emergency frequency is may be used to relay position reports via another aircraft in the event of an air-ground communications failure. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.2) e. When using HF communications (even when using ADS and/or CPDLC), pilots should maintain a listening watch on the assigned frequency, unless SELCAL is fitted, in which case they should ensure the following sequence of actions: (1) Provision of the SELCAL code in the flight plan (2) Checking the operation of the SELCAL equipment, at or prior to entry into Oceanic airspace, with the appropriate aeradio station, and (3) Maintenance thereafter of a SELCAL watch. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.1)

60 2-20 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES NOTE: Radio operators relay for/to controllers. The majority of oceanic communications such as position reports or crew requests go through a radio operator. The radio operator is not an air traffic controller. Radio operators must relay all reports and request to ATC for approval and processing. (SPEC/Oceanic Errors Safety Bulletin 01-07) 2. POSITION REPORTS a. Pilots must always report to ATC as soon as possible on reaching any new cruising level. b. Position should be expressed in terms of latitude and longitude except when flying over named reporting points. For flights whose tracks are predominantly east or west, latitude should be expressed in degrees and minutes, longitude in degrees only. For flights whose tracks are predominantly north or south, latitude should be expressed in degrees only, longitude in degrees and minutes. c. Examples of position reports: (1) Position Report - Position, Hoist 51, on 5649, 56 North 010 West at 1235, Flight Level 330, Estimating 56 North 020 West at 1310, 56 North 030 West Next (2) Request Clearance in conjunction with Position Report - Request Clearance, Shell 81, on 5616, 56 North 020 West at 1308, Flight Level 330, Estimating 56 North 030 West at 1340, 56 North 040 West next. Request Flight Level 350. (3) Request Clearance only - Request Clearance, Spar 19, Requested Flight Level 370. (4) Revised Estimate - Revised Estimate, Shell 81, 57 North 040 West at d. Position reports for aircraft operating on tracks through successive points on the mutual boundary of two OCAs (e.g. when routing along the 45 N parallel), should be made to both relevant OACs (e.g. Shanwick copy Santa Maria ). (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.3) 3. TIME KEEPING PROCEDURES a. Prior to entry into Oceanic Airspace, the pilot shall synchronize the time reference system(s) to be used during the flight for the calculation of waypoint Actual Time of Arrival (ATA) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to an acceptable international time source. The pilot passing the ATAs and ETAs to ATC is to ensure that they are based on a time reference system that has been properly synchronized. b. Acceptable international time sources are: (1) BBC (UK, Greenwich) H24 on khz; on 9410 khz; on khz; on khz, khz, 9760 khz. Time is UTC and given every minute, within specified periods. (2) Global Positioning System corrected to UTC. (3) WWV (USA Fort Collins, Colorado) H24 on 2500 khz, 7335 khz, khz (SSB). Time is UTC and given every minute. (4) CHU (National Research Council, Canada) H24 on 3330 khz, 7335 khz (SSB). Time is UTC and given every minute. NOTE: Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting Systems (ACARS) are not suitable time sources due to the unknown delay involved between the times that the update message is generated and when it is received by the ACARS equipment on the aircraft. (SPEC/UK AIP ENR ) 4. ALERTING AND SEARCH AND RESCUE - All flights operated more than 100 NM from the shoreline shall report during the period twenty to forty minutes following the time of last contact, whatever the purpose of such contact, merely to indicate that the flight is progressing according to plan. The above report will consist of aircraft identification and the words "Operations normal". (SPEC/ICAO DOC ) 5. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS - From among the aircraft intending to operate on the organized tracks, oceanic control centers shall designate those which shall be required to report routine meteorological observation at each prescribed report point. This designation shall be made by the oceanic control centers delivering the oceanic clearance, using the phrase "SEND MET REPORTS". (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.5) 6. WHEN ABLE HIGHER (WAH) REPORTS a. A WAH Report must be provided by all flights entering the MNPS Airspace portion of the New York OCA and entering the Santa Maria OCA. The provision of WAH Reports allows the controllers to more effectively utilize their airspace and provide aircraft more fuel efficient profiles. Provision of WAH Reports on entering other OCAs is optional. b. When required or when otherwise provided, upon entering an oceanic FIR, pilots should include in the initial position the time or location that the flight will be able to accept the next higher altitude. c. Information provided of the aircraft s future altitude ability will not automatically be interpreted by ATC as an advance request for a step climb. In addition, the ATC acknowledgement of a WAH report is NOT a clearance to change altitude. d. Examples of WAH Report included in initial position report: (1) Hoist 51, 40 North 040 West at 1010, Flight Level 350. Estimating 40 North 050 West at 1110, 40 North 060 West Next. Able Flight Level 360 at Able Flight Level 370 at Able Flight Level 390 at e. Although optimal use of the WAH reports is in conjunction with a Position Report, a WAH report can be made or updated separately at any time. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.4) SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR - 1. Unless otherwise directed by ATC, aircraft equipped with SSR transponders in the NAT Region shall operate transponders continuously on Mode A, Code 2000 regardless of the direction of flight, except that the last assigned code shall be retained for a period of thirty minutes after entry into NAT airspace. Aircraft transitioning into WATRS via fixed ATS routes shall remain on the last ATC assigned beacon code.

61 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-21 NOTE: This procedure does not affect the use of Special Purpose Codes 7500, 7600, and 7700 in case of unlawful interference, radio failure, or emergency. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 6.7) INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES Standard except that flights shall be conducted in accordance with Instrument Flight Rules, even when not operated in instrument meteorological conditions when operated at or above FL60 or 2000 above ground, whichever is higher, within the FIR of New York Oceanic, Gander Oceanic, Shanwick Oceanic, Santa Maria Oceanic, Sondrestrom and Reykjavik, and when more than 100 NM seaward from the shoreline within the Bodo Oceanic FIR. (SPEC/ICAO DOC 7030 NAT RAC 1.0) RVSM RULES 1. GENERAL a. For flights through NAT MNPS Airspace, the aircraft and operator must have the requisite State Approvals for both MNPS and RVSM operations. The crew must be qualified for flight in RVSM airspace and all aircraft intending to operate within NAT MNPS Airspace must be equipped with altimetry and heightkeeping systems which meet RVSM Minimum Aircraft System Performance Specifications (MASPS). (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man 9.1.5) b. Most flights will approach the MNPSA through European or North American RVSM airspaces. It is therefore expected that continuous monitoring of the serviceability of the aircraft s height keeping systems will have been undertaken. It is recommended that a final confirmation of the aircraft systems serviceability be performed immediately prior to entering the NAT MNPSA. (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man 9.1.7) 2. IN-FLIGHT ENTERING AND FLYING IN RVSM AIRSPACE a. One automatic altitude control system should be engaged throughout the cruise. b. To prevent unwanted TCAS/ACAS warnings, pilots should ensure that the vertical closure speed is not excessive. Vertical speed should be reduced to between 500 /min and 1500 /min when within 1500 of cleared altitude. It is important to ensure that the airplane neither undershoots or overshoots the cleared level by more than 150. (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man ) c. It is essential in NAT MNPS/RVSM airspace that pilots always report to ATC immediately upon reaching any new cruising level. (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man ) d. Crews should report all occasions when a 300 or more deviation in altitude occurs, even if as a result of turbulence. (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man 9.3.4) e. A W must be entered into Item 10 of the ICAO flight plan to indicate that the aircraft is approved for flight at RVSM levels. (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man 9.1.6) 3. EQUIPMENT FAILURES a. The following equipment failures must be reported to ATC as soon as practicable following their identification: (1) loss of one or more primary altimetry systems or (2) failure of all automatic altitude-control systems (SPEC/NAT MNPSA Ops Man 9.2.1) 4. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES a. General (1) PILOT LEVEL CALL Except in radar environment, pilots shall report reaching and leaving a flight level. (2) DIVERSION ACROSS THE FLOW OF ADJACENT TRAFFIC Before commencing a diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should, while maintaining 15 NM offset, expedite climb above or descent below levels where the majority of aircraft operate (e.g., to a level above FL410 or below FL290) and then maintain a level which differs by 500 (150m) from those normally used. However, if the pilot is unable or unwilling to carry out a major climb or descent, the aircraft should be flown at a level 500 above or below levels normally used until a new ATC clearance is obtained. (SLOP) (3) STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (a) GENERAL - This procedure provides for offsets within the following guidelines: 1 Along a route or track there will be three positions that an aircraft may fly: centerline or one or two miles right; and 2 Offsets will not exceed 2 NM right of centerline. (b) GUIDELINES Distributing aircraft laterally and equally across the three available positions is now a standard operating procedure for the entire NAT Region and pilots are required to adopt this procedure. It should also be noted that: 1 Aircraft without automatic offset programming capability must fly the centerline. 2 Operators capable of programming automatic offsets may fly the centerline of offset one or two nautical miles right of centerline to obtain lateral spacing from nearby aircraft. An aircraft overtaking another aircraft should offset within the confines of this procedure, if capable, so as to create the least amount of wake turbulence for the aircraft being overtaken. 3 Pilots should use whatever means available (TCA, radios, visual, etc...) to determine the best flight path to fly. 4 For wake turbulence avoidance, pilots may only fly one of the three positions mentioned above. For additional operations, see ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR INFLIGHT CONTINGENCIES Chapter 2, Section D, Para 5 of the AP2. 5 Pilots may apply an offset outbound at the entry point and must return to centerline prior to the oceanic exit point. 6 Aircraft transiting radar-controlled airspace mid-ocean should remain on their already established offset positions. 7 There is no ATC clearance required for this procedure and it is not necessary that ATC be advised. 8 Voice position reports should be based on the

62 2-22 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES waypoints of the current ATC clearance and not the offset positions. (SPEC/NAT MNPS Ops Man 8.5) 5. SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR NON-RVSM APPROVED AIRCRAFT a. MNPS approved aircraft that are not approved for RVSM operation will be permitted, subject to traffic, to climb/descend through RVSM levels in order to attain cruising levels above or below RVSM airspace. Flights should climb/descend continuously through the RVSM levels without stopping at any intermediate level and should Report Leaving current level and Report Reaching cleared level. All climbs/descents should be at the normal rate for the aircraft. FLIGHT PLANNING FILING FLIGHT PLANS (DAY/NIGHT) NOTE: For additional information regarding specific/unique country or OCA flight plan requirements, see the individual country entries in Chapter 3 of the AP2 or AP1. 1. ROUTINGS a. During the hours of validity of the OTS, operators are encouraged to flight plan as follows: (1) In accordance with the OTS; or b. Such aircraft are permitted to flight plan and operate at FL430 either eastbound or westbound above NAT MNPS airspace. OTS; or (2) Along a route to join or leave an outer track of the c. Operators requiring such special approval should request prior approval by contacting the initial Oceanic Area Control Center, normally not more than 12 hours and not less than 4 hours prior to the intended departure time, giving as much detail as possible regarding acceptable flight levels and routings. The special approval, if and when received, should be clearly indicated in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan. Operators must appreciate that the granting of any such approval does not constitute an oceanic clearance, which must be obtained from ATC, by the pilot, in the normal manner. d. It should be noted that RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation over non-rvsm approved aircraft. (SPEC/NAT MNPS Ops Man 6.1) e. ATC notification of non-rvsm compliant State aircraft (those aircraft used in military, custom, and police services shall be deemed state aircraft) is accomplished through filing of an ICAO flight plan. In Field 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan, include STS/APVD NONRVSM. NOTE: New York Oceanic will coordinate non-rvsm status with any affected adjacent FIR or facility. f. After departure, the pilot shall notify the ATC facility (on VHF) adjacent to the New York boundary that approval has been obtained from New York Center. NOTE: Approval means able to operate in the RVSM stratum. Aircraft operating levels will be subject to ATC. g. Contact details for approval request are as follows: New York Center Telephone (631) or (631) NOTE: The approval process is intended exclusively for the purposes indicated above and not as a means to circumvent the normal RVSM approval process. h. Air traffic service providers will consider suspending RVSM procedures when there are pilot reports of greater than moderate turbulence. Within areas where RVSM procedures are suspended, the vertical separation minimum between all aircraft will be (3) On a random route to remain clear of the OTS b. Operators may still flight plan across the OTS, however, be aware that re-routes or significant changes in flight level are likely to be necessary during most of the OTS traffic periods. c. Outside the OTS periods, operators may flight plan any random routing, except that during the two hours prior to each OTS period, the following restrictions apply: (1) Eastbound flights that cross 30 W less than one hour prior to the incoming/pending westbound OTS (i.e. after 1029Z), or westbound flights that cross 30 W less than one hour prior to the incoming/pending eastbound OTS (i.e. after 2359Z), should plan to remain clear of the incoming/pending OTS structure. (2) Any such opposite direction flights crossing 30 W between one and two hours prior to the incoming/pending OTS (i.e. any eastbound flights between 0930Z and 1029Z or westbound flights between 2300Z and 2359Z) where the route beyond 30 W would coincide with the incoming/pending OTS structure at any point, should plan to join an outer track at any point, or backtrack the length of one of the incoming/pending tracks. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 4.1) 2. FLIGHT LEVELS a. Operators may include step climbs in the flight plan, although each change of level during the flight must be requested from and approved by ATC. b. Pilots intending to fly on a random route or outside the OTS time periods should normally plan flight level(s) appropriate to the direction of flight. c. Canada and the UK occasionally modify the current usage allocation of flight levels in the NAT MNPSA according to their Flight Level Allocation Scheme (FLAS). Hence, pilots should consult the specific Canada and UK entries in AP1 and AP2, respectively, as well as NOTAMs when flight planning random routes through NAT MNPSA Airspace. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 4.1) 3. FLIGHT PLANNING a. Flights Planning on the OTS:

63 (1) If (and only if) the flight is planned to operate along the entire length of one of the organized tracks should the track be defined in Item 15 of the flight plan. (2) Flights wishing to join or leave an organized track at some intermediate point are considered to be random route aircraft and full route details must be specified in the flight plan. NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-23 CLEARANCE INFORMATION - NOTE: For additional information regarding specific/unique country or OCA clearance requirements, see the individual country entries in Chapter 3 of the AP2 or AP1. 1. GENERAL (3) The planned Mach number and flight level for the organized track should be specified as either the last domestic reporting point prior to oceanic entry or the organized track commencement point. (4) Each point at which a change of Mach number or flight level is planned must be specified by geographical coordinates or as a named waypoint. b. Flight Planning on Random Routes on an East/West Direction at/or South of 70 N: (1) Requested Mach number and flight level should be specified at either the last domestic reporting point prior to oceanic airspace entry or the OCA boundary. (2) The route of flight should be specified in terms of significant points, including in Item 18: entry point; (a) The last domestic reporting point prior to oceanic (b) The OCA boundary exit point; (c) Significant points, formed by the intersection of half or whole degrees of latitude, with meridians spaced at intervals of ten degrees of longitude from the Zero degree E/W (Greenwich) Meridian to longitude 70 W; NOTE: Do not identify significant points using a NAVAID unless landing/departing Iceland or Greenland. Continue to use Lat/Long even if within coverage of a land based NAVAID. Oceanic clearances/procedures/separation standards remain in effect for aircraft overflying Iceland or Greenland.

Flight Planning on Random Routes on an East/West Direction North of 70 N: (1) Flight planning for flights in this category are identical to those at/or south of 70 N (Para 1.b.) except that a route should be specified in terms of significant points formed by the intersection of parallels of latitude expressed in degrees and minutes with meridians normally spaced at intervals of 20 from the Zero degree E/W (Greenwich) Meridian to longitude 60 W. d. Flight Planning on Random Routes in North/South Direction: (1) Flight planning for flights in this category are identical to those listed for flights operating on random route segments at/or south of 70 N (Para 1.b.) except that the route should be specified in terms of significant points formed by the intersection of whole degrees of longitude with specified parallels of latitude which are spaced at 5 intervals from 20 N to 90 N. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 4.2) a. Pilots should request Oceanic Clearances from the ATC unit responsible for the first OCA within which they wish to operate at least 40 minutes prior to the Oceanic entry point ETA. b. Methods of obtaining an Oceanic clearance include: (1) Published VHF clearance delivery frequencies (2) By HF communications to the OAC through the appropriate aeradio station. (3) Via domestic or other ATC agencies. (4) Via data link c. At some airports situated close to oceanic boundaries, the Oceanic Clearance must be obtained before departure. d. After obtaining and reading back the clearance, the pilot should monitor the forward estimate for oceanic entry, and if this changes by 3 minutes or more, should pass a revised estimate to ATC. e. If the entry point of the oceanic route on which the flight is cleared differs from that originally requested and/or the oceanic flight level differs from the current flight level, the pilot is responsible for requesting and obtaining the necessary domestic re-clearance. f. Example of Oceanic Clearance Request: (1) Reach 51 request Oceanic Clearance. Estimating 56N 010W at Request Mach decimal eight zero, Flight Level three five zero, able Flight Level three six zero, second choice Track Charlie. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 5.1) g.

However, if a pilot is unable or unwilling to carry out the major climb/descent, then any deviation should be carried out at a level 500 different from those in use within MNPS Airspace, until a new ATC clearance is obtained. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 11.3) 4. DEVIATIONS AROUND SEVERE WEATHER a. If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather, the pilot should request a revised clearance from ATC prior to deviating. If unable, the following procedures should be followed while continuing to obtain an ATC clearance: a. If an aircraft is unable to continue its flight in accordance with ATC clearance, a revised clearance should be obtained whenever possible, prior to initiating any action, using the distress (MAYDAY) or urgency (PAN PAN) signals as appropriate. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 11.2) 3. SPECIAL PROCEDURES a. The general concept of NAT contingency procedures is to offset from the assigned route by 15NM and climb or descend to a level which differs from those normally used by 500 below FL410 or by 1000 above FL410. b. Initial Action - the aircraft should leave its assigned route or track by initially turning at least 45 to the right or left whenever this is feasible. The direction of the turn should be determined by: (1) Position of the aircraft relative to an organized route or track system traffic (2) Direction to the alternate airport (3) Terrain Clearance (4) Levels allocated on adjacent routes or tracks (5) Any known SLOP offsets adopted by other nearby c. Subsequent Action - (1) An aircraft that is able to maintain its assigned flight level, after deviating 10 NM from its original cleared track centerline and therefore clear of any potentially conflicting traffic above or below following the same track, should: (a) Climb or descend 1000 if above FL410 (1) If possible, deviate away from the organized track or route system; (2) Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft broadcasting, at suitable intervals: aircraft identification, flight level, aircraft position (including ATS route designator or track code), and intentions on the frequency in use and on frequency (3) Watch for conflicting traffic (4) Turn on all exterior lights (5) For deviations of less than 10NM, aircraft should remain at the level assigned by ATC (6) For deviations of greater than 10 NM, when the aircraft is approximately 10 NM from the track, initiate a level change of 300. (a) If flying Eastbound (mag track) and deviating left (North) of track, then descend 300. If deviating right (South) of track than climb 300. (b) If flying Westbound (mag track) and deviating left (South) of track, then climb 300. If deviating right (North) of track then descend 300. Route Centerline Track EAST ( magnetic) Deviations > 19 km (10 NM) LEFT RIGHT Level Change DESCEND 300 ft (91 m) CLIMB 300 ft (91 m) (b) Climb or descend 500 if below FL410 (c) Climb 1000 or descend 500 if at FL410 WEST ( magnetic) LEFT RIGHT CLIMB 300 ft (91 m) DESCENT 300 ft (91 m) (d) Minimize rate of descent while acquiring the 15 NM offset track (2) An aircraft that is unable to maintain its assigned flight level should, whenever possible, initially minimize its rate of descent when leaving its original track centerline and then when expected to be clear of any possible traffic following the same track at lower levels, expedite descent to an operationally feasible flight level, which differs from those normally used by 500 ft if below FL410 (or by 1000 ft if above FL410). d. Before commencing any diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, aircraft should, whilst maintaining the 15NM offset track, expedite climb above or descent below the vast majority of (c) When returning to track, regain the last assigned flight level when the aircraft is within 10 NM of center line. (7) Inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 11.4) 5. WAKE TURBULENCE a. When flying in NAT MNPS airspace and the pilot considers it necessary to offset from the current track due to wake turbulence, then the pilot may only elect to fly another of the three options allowable in the Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP

65 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES see ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURE in AP2). If neither of the remaining SLOP offset tracks are upwind of the other aircraft which is causing wake turbulence, then the pilot should co-ordinate with the other aircraft via and perhaps request that the other aircraft adopt an alternative SLOP allowable downwind offset. b. Any pilot who encounters a wake turbulence incident when flying NAT MNPS, should ensure that a detailed report is provided to the NAT CMA. A copy of this report can be found at (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 11.5) 6. ACAS/TCAS ALERTS AND WARNINGS a. All ACAS and TCAS resolution advisories should be reported to ATC: (1) Verbally, as soon as practicable; and (2) In writing to the Controlling Authority, after the flight has landed, using the necessary procedure and forms, including, when appropriate, the Attitude Deviation Report Form available in Annex 2 of the MNPS Ops Manual found at (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man 11.6) 7. COMMON PROCEDURES FOR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE OF OCEANIC AIRCRAFT OPERATING IN THE NAT REGION. a. The following procedures are intended to provide general guidance for NAT aircraft experiencing a communications failure. These procedures are intended to complement and not supersede state procedures/regulations. It is not possible to provide guidance for all situations associated with a communications failure. b. GENERAL (1) If so equipped, the pilot of an aircraft experiencing a two-way radio communications failure shall operate the secondary radar transponder on identify (Mode A) Code 7600 and Mode C. (2) The pilot shall also attempt to contact any ATC facility or another aircraft and inform them of the difficulty and request they relay information to the ATC facility with whom communications are intended. The preferred frequency for relaying position reports via other aircraft is MHZ MHZ may also be used, but care must be taken to avoid hindering other emergency aircraft. (SPEC/UK AIP ENR ) c. COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE PRIOR TO ENTERING NAT OCEANIC AIRSPACE (1) If operating with a received and acknowledged oceanic clearance, the pilot shall enter oceanic airspace at the cleared oceanic entry point, level and speed and proceed in accordance with the received and acknowledged oceanic clearance. Any level or speed change required to comply with the oceanic clearance shall be completed within the vicinity of the oceanic entry point. (2) If operating without a received and acknowledged oceanic clearance, the pilot shall enter oceanic airspace at the first oceanic entry point, level and speed as contained in the filed flight plan, and proceed via the filed flight plan route to landfall. That first oceanic level and speed shall be maintained to landfall. d. COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE PRIOR TO EXITING NAT OCEANIC AIRSPACE (1) CLEARED ON FLIGHT PLAN ROUTE. The pilot shall proceed in accordance with the last received and acknowledged oceanic clearance to the last specified oceanic route point, normally landfall, then continue on the flight plan route. Maintain the last assigned oceanic level and speed to landfall. After passing the last specified oceanic route point, conform with the relevant state procedures/regulations. (2) CLEARED ON OTHER THAN FLIGHT PLAN ROUTE. The pilot shall proceed in accordance with the last received and acknowledged oceanic clearance to the last specified oceanic route point, normally landfall. After passing this point, rejoin the filed flight plan route by proceeding directly to the next significant point ahead of the track of the aircraft as contained in the filed flight plan. Where possible, use published ATS route structures, then continue on the flight plan route. Maintain the last assigned oceanic level and speed to the last specified oceanic route point. After passing this point, conform with the relevant state procedures/regulations. (SPEC/ENR UK Civil AIP) (3) In the event of failure of HF communications every effort should be made by the pilot to relay position reports through other aircraft MHz, may be used to relay position reports. If necessary initial contact for such relays can be established on MHz - although great care must be exercised should this be necessary, as the frequency MHz is monitored by all aircraft operating in the NAT Region in case it is being used by aircraft experiencing emergencies. Therefore in order to minimize unnecessary use of MHz, it is recommended that aircraft additionally monitor MHz when flying through NAT airspace. (SPEC/ENR UK Civil AIP) e. HF COMMUNICATION FAILURE (1) On-Board HF Communications Failure (a) Due to the potential length of time in oceanic airspace, it is strongly recommended that a pilot, experiencing an HF communications equipment failure prior to entering the NAT, whilst still in domestic airspace and still in VHF contact with the domestic ATC Unit, does not enter NAT airspace but adopts the procedure specified in the appropriate domestic AIP and lands at a suitable airport. (b) Should the pilot, nevertheless, elect to continue the flight then even every effort must be made to obtain an oceanic clearance and the routing, initial level and speed contained in that clearance must be maintained throughout the entire oceanic segment. Any level or speed changes required to comply with the oceanic clearance must be completed within the vicinity of the oceanic entry point. (c) If, however, an oceanic clearance cannot be obtained, the individual aircraft suffering radio communications equipment failure should enter oceanic airspace at the first oceanic entry point, level and speed contained in the filed flight plan and proceed via the filed flight plan route to landfall. The initial oceanic level and speed included in the filed flight plan must be maintained until landfall. NOTE: This is the ONLY situation in which a pilot may unilaterally elect to "fly the flight plan" through the NAT Region. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man ) (2) HF Blackout (a) In the case of aircraft that lose ATC

66 2-26 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES communications as a result of poor propagation conditions ("HF Blackouts") when approaching NAT airspace through domestic airspace where ATC communications are also conducted via HF (e.g. entering the NAT through Northern Canadian airspace into the Reykjavik OCA), it is probably less advisable to execute unscheduled landings. These poor propagation conditions are very likely to affect many aircraft simultaneously and multiple diversions of "lost comms" aircraft might create further difficulties and risks. (b) As with the equipment failure situation, aircraft approaching the NAT and losing ATC communications as a result of poor HF radio propagation conditions, should if already in receipt of an oceanic clearance, follow the routing specified in that clearance and maintain the initial cleared level and speed throughout the oceanic segment (i.e. - through to landfall). (c) However, in these HF Blackout circumstances, if no oceanic clearance has been received, the aircraft must remain at the last cleared domestic flight level, not only to the ocean entry point, but also throughout the whole subsequent oceanic segment (i.e. - until final landfall). This is in stark contrast to the equipment failure case. In such HF Blackouts, pilots must not effect level changes to comply with filed flight plans. Such aircraft should, however, enter oceanic airspace at the first oceanic entry point and speed contained in the filed flight plan and proceed via the filed flight plan route to landfall. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man ) (3) HF Communications Failure of Blackout After Entering the NAT (a) The pilot must proceed in accordance with the last received and acknowledged oceanic clearance, including level and speed, to the last specified oceanic route point (normally landfall). After passing this point, the pilot should conform with the relevant AIP specified State procedures/regulations and if necessary, rejoin the filed flight plan route by proceeding via the published ATS route structure where possible, to the next significant point contained in the filed flight plan. NOTE: The relevant state procedures/regulations to be followed by an aircraft in order to rejoin its filed flight plan route are specified in detail in the appropriate State AIP. (SPEC/MNPS Ops Man ) 8. MISCELLANEOUS PROCEDURES a. STEP - CLIMB PROCEDURES - Although the main flow of traffic operates on "strategic" clearances there is scope for enroute tactical revised clearances which afford the possibility of step-climbs. Controllers are aware of the need for fuel conservation and will accommodate requests for step- climbs wherever possible. Pilots should remember to maintain their last assigned Mach number during step-climbs in oceanic airspace. If due to aircraft performance this is not feasible, ATC should be notified at the time of request. b. MACH NUMBER CHANGES - The initial oceanic clearance will specify a Mach Number which the pilots must adhere to. However, as the weight of the aircraft reduces, it may be more fuel efficient to adjust the Mach Number. ATC approval of requests for change in cruise Mach Number will be given if traffic conditions permit. c. PENETRATION OF MNPS AIRSPACE BY AIRCRAFT INTENDING TO OPERATE ABOVE - Aircraft not approved for operation in MNPS airspace may be cleared by the responsible ATC unit to climb or descend through MNPS airspace provided: (1) The climb or descent can be completed within the useable coverage of selected VOR/DME s and/or within radar coverage of the ATC facility issuing such a clearance and the aircraft is able to maintain direct pilot-controller communications on VHF. (2) MNPS aircraft operation in that part of MNPS airspace affected by such climbs or descents are not penalized. 9. CONTINGENCY SCENARIOS a. In addition to emergency conditions that require immediate descent, such as loss of thrust or pressurization, ATC should be made aware of the less explicit conditions that may make it impossible for an aircraft to maintain its CFL appropriate to RVSM. b. The following material is provided with the purpose of giving the pilot guidance on actions to take under certain conditions of equipment failure and encounters with turbulence. It also describes the expected ATC controller actions in these situations. It is recognized that the pilot and controller will use judgment to determine the action most appropriate to any given situation. For example, with certain equipment failures, the safest course of action may be for the aircraft to maintain the assigned FL and route while the pilot and controller take precautionary action to protect separation. For extreme cases of equipment failure, however, the guidance recognizes that the safest course of action may be for the aircraft to depart from the cleared FL or route by obtaining a revised ATC clearance or if unable to obtain prior ATC clearance, executing the established Doc 4444 contingency maneuvers for the area of operation. Scenario 1: There is a failure or loss of accuracy of one primary altimetry system (e.g., greater than 200 foot difference between primary altimeters). The Pilot should Cross check standby altimeter, confirm the accuracy of a primary altimeter system and notify ATC of the loss of redundancy. If unable to confirm primary altimeter system accuracy, follow pilot actions listed in the preceding scenario. Scenario 2: All automatic altitude control systems fail (e.g., Automatic Altitude Hold). The Pilot shall Initially Maintain CFL Evaluate the aircraft s capability to maintain altitude through manual control. Subsequently Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS, if equipped. If considered necessary, alert nearby aircraft by 1) making maximum use of exterior lights; 2) broadcasting position, FL, and intentions on MHz (as a back-up, the VHF interpilot air-to-air frequency may be used.) ATC can be expected to

67 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES 2-27 The Pilot shall ATC can be expected to The Pilot shall ATC can be expected to Notify ATC of the failure and intended course of action. Possible courses of action include: 1) maintaining the CFL and route, provided that the aircraft can maintain level. 2) requesting ATC clearance to climb above or descend below RVSM airspace if the aircraft cannot maintain CFL and ATC cannot establish lateral, longitudinal or conventional vertical separation. 3) executing the Doc 4444 contingency maneuver to offset from the assigned track and FL, if ATC clearance cannot be obtained and the aircraft cannot maintain CFL. 1) If the pilot intends to continue in RVSM airspace, assess traffic situation to determine if the aircraft can be accommodated through the provision of lateral, longitudinal, or conventional vertical separation, and if so, apply the appropriate minimum. 2) If the pilot requests clearance to exit RVSM airspace, accommodate expeditiously, if possible. 3) If adequate separation cannot be established and it is not possible to comply with the pilot's request for clearance to exit RVSM airspace, advise the pilot of essential traffic information, notify other aircraft in the vicinity and continue to monitor the situation. 4) Notify adjoining ATC facilities/sectors of the situation. Scenario 3: Loss of redundancy in primary altimetry systems. The Pilot shall ATC can be expected to If the remaining altimetry Acknowledge the situation and system is functioning normally, continue to monitor progress. couple that system to the automatic altitude control system, notify ATC of the loss of redundancy and maintain vigilance of altitude keeping. Scenario 4: All primary altimetry systems are considered unreliable or fail. Maintain CFL by reference to the standby altimeter (if the aircraft is so equipped). Alert nearby aircraft by 1) making maximum use of exterior lights; 2) broadcasting position, FL, and intentions on MHz (as a back-up, the VHF interpilot air-to-air frequency may be used). Consider declaring an emergency. Notify ATC of the failure and intended course of action. Possible courses of action include: 1) maintaining CFL and route provided that ATC can provide lateral, longitudinal or conventional vertical separation. 2) requesting ATC clearance to climb above or descend below RVSM airspace if ATC cannot establish adequate separation from other aircraft. 3) executing the Doc 4444 contingency maneuver to offset from the assigned track and FL, if ATC clearance cannot be obtained. Obtain pilot's intentions, and pass essential traffic information. 1) If the pilot intends to continue in RVSM airspace, assess traffic situation to determine if the aircraft can be accommodated through the provision of lateral, longitudinal, or conventional vertical separation, and if so, apply the appropriate minimum. 2) If the pilot requests clearance to exit RVSM airspace, accommodate expeditiously, if possible. 3) If adequate separation cannot be established and it is not possible to comply with the pilot's request for clearance to exit RVSM airspace, advise the pilot of essential traffic information, notify other aircraft in the vicinity and continue to monitor the situation. 4) Notify adjoining ATC facilities/sectors of the situation. Scenario 5: The primary altimeters diverge by more than 200 ft (60m). The Pilot should: Attempt to determine the defective system through established trouble-shooting procedures and/or comparing the primary altimeter displace to the standby altimeter (as corrected by the correction cards, if required). If the defective system can be determined, couple the functioning altimeter system to the altitude keeping device. If the defective system cannot be determined, follow the guidance in Scenario 3 for failure or unreliable altimeter indications of all primary altimeters.

68 2-28 NORTH ATLANTIC SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES Scenario 6: Turbulence (greater than moderate) which the pilot believes will impact the aircraft's capability to maintain flight level. The Pilot shall ATC can be expected to Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS, if equipped. If considered necessary, alert nearby aircraft by: 1) making maximum use of exterior lights; 2) broadcasting position, FL, and intentions on MHz (as a back-up, the VHF interpilot air-to-air frequency may be used). Notify ATC of intended course of action as soon as possible. Possible courses of action include: 1) maintaining CFL and route provided ATC can provide lateral, longitudinal or conventional vertical separation. 2) requesting flight level change, if necessary. 3) executing the Doc 4444 contingency maneuver to offset from the assigned track and FL, if ATC clearance cannot be obtained and the aircraft cannot maintain CFL. 1) Assess traffic situation to determine if the aircraft can be accommodated through the provision of lateral, longitudinal, or conventional vertical separation, and if so, apply the appropriate minimum. 2) If unable to provide adequate separation, advise the pilot of essential traffic information and request pilot s intentions. 3) Notify other aircraft in the vicinity and monitor the situation. 4) Notify adjoining ATC facilities/ sectors of the situation.

(SPEC/ENR 5.2.2) ENROUTE AIRWAY/ROUTES INCLUDING CONDITIONAL ROUTE INFORMATION FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE GENERAL PROCEDURES Time of applicability: H24. SLOVENIAN AUSTRIAN CROSS BORDER FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE (SAXFRA) FLIGHT PROCEDURES AND FLIGHT PLANNING SAXFRA (Slovenian Austrian Cross Border Free Route Airspace): The airspace Austria and Slovenia within which users may freely plan a route between a defined SAXFRA entry and a defined SAXFRA exit point via intermediate waypoints. Within this airspace flights remain subject to ATS in regard to the respective airspace classification. For specifications, availability and restrictions regarding SAXFRA see European Route Availability Document (RAD), see 1. General SAXFRA flight procedures Within SAXFRA airspace users are allowed to plan user-preferred trajectories using significant points as well as LAT/LONG under special conditions and rules laid in the European RAD. Filing of bearing and distance related to SAXFRA significant points is not permitted. The use of mandatory intermediate waypoints as laid down in RAD may be required due to safety, capacity or operational reasons. Within SAXFRA relevant points are considered as FRA Horizontal Entry (E), FRA Horizontal Exit (X), FRA Intermediate (I), FRA Arrival Connecting (A) and FRA Departure Connecting (D) Points. Route portions between significant points, radio navigation aids or LAT/LONG waypoints shall be indicated by means of "DCT". Within SAXFRA there is no limitation on the maximum DCT distance. Airspace users may use any significant point, radio navigation aid or LAT/LONG for indicating changes of level and speed. 2. Overflying traffic Overflying traffic may be planned directly from any FRA Horizontal Entry Point to any FRA Horizontal Exit Point and via published and unpublished FRA Intermediate Points. The use of mandatory FRA Intermediate Points may be required for flight planning according the rules laid down in the respective RAD Documents. 3. Cross-border application a. Entry and exit from SAXFRA shall be planned using the published FRA Horizontal Entry and FRA Horizontal Exit Points only. b. The planning of DCT segments across the SAXFRA borders (cross-border DCT) is not allowed. c. The planning of DCT segments that are partially outside the lateral limits of SAXFRA (re-entry segments) is not allowed. d. Flights shall not be planned closer than 3NM to the published SAXFRA border. 4. Access to/from Terminal Airspace a. Access to FRA for arriving traffic Depending on the aerodrome there are different requirements on flight planning for arriving traffic. FRA Arrival Points can either be: (1) FRA Arrival Connecting Point or (2) a specific FRA Intermediate Point linked to an aerodrome according to the RAD or (3) if no STAR is available or there is no requirement for a connecting point, any SAXFRA significant point can be used. b. Access to FRA for departing traffic Depending on the aerodrome there are different requirements on flight planning for departing traffic. Free Route flight plan filing shall be started from: (1) a FRA Departure Connecting Point, or (2) a specific FRA Intermediate Point linked to an aerodrome according to the RAD, or (3) if no SID is available or there is no requirement for a connecting point, any FRA relevant point can be used.

Klagenfurt (LOWK) Preferential runway - To minimize noise, landing on RWY 28R and take-off from RWY 10L shall be performed whenever possible. For the purpose of noise abatement, the traffic pattern altitude is 3000 FT AMSL. 6. Linz (LOWL) Preferential runway - To minimize noise from 2200 till 0500 local time, landing on RWY 08 and take-off from RWY 26 should be performed flights) whenever possible. 7. Salzburg (LOWS) a. Operating hours are ( ) all year. Between 0600 and 0700 local time, departures are permitted only for commercial flights. b. Only jet aircraft whose certified noise level at departure measured at noise-measuring station 4 is not exceeding 98 decibel SEL are permitted. All aircraft exceeding 98 decibel SEL at noisemeasuring station 4 during departure will be suspended from operations at Salzburg airport. c. The published SID routes are also noise abatement procedures; strict adherence is compulsory within the performance limits of the aircraft. 8. WIEN-SCHWECHAT (LOWW) a. Arrival - Aircraft below FL 150 will normally be cleared to achieve a continuous descent to the runway in use. b. If not otherwise advised, 250 KIAS has to be maintained below FT MSL. If the cruising speed is less than 250 KT, cruising speed has to be maintained. Latest 10 NM from threshold speed has to be reduced so as to reach 160 KIAS at 4 NM Final. The approach shall be conducted in "clean configuration" as long as possible. Pilots who are unable to comply with these speed assignments shall inform ATC accordingly. (SPEC/AD 2.21) TERMINAL AREA PROCEDURES For aircraft in the HEAVY wake turbulence category (HEAVY: > lbs certified weight), the word HEAVY shall be included immediately after the aircraft call sign between such aircraft and 1.

Transponder Operating Procedure: GND Surveillance (SMR & MDS Multilateration) is being provided on the maneuvering area and taxiways. Departing aircraft shall select the assigned code (squawk) and activate the Mode S transponder NLT at pushback request or at taxi request. Aircraft equipped with Mode S having an aircraft identification feature shall transmit the aircraft ID as filed in the flight plan or, when no flight plan has been filed, the aircraft registration. Landing aircraft shall have the mode S transponder activated until the aircraft has reached its final parking position. Activation of Mode S transponder means selecting: AUTO, ON, XPNDR, or the equivalent according to specific installation. Do not switch OFF or STDBY. Aircraft not being equipped with mode S shall select mode A/C accordingly. (SPEC/LOWW AD ) 2. HIRO (High Intensity Runway Operation) System The HIRO System is valid from lcl unless otherwise advised by ATC. The HIRO System ensures a maximum runway capacity, minimizes "go arounds" and enables departures during single runway operation and continuous inbound traffic. Arrivals Expeditious exit from the landing runway allows ATC to separate aircraft with the appropriate separation minimum (radar separation 2,5 NM or separation minimum according wake vortex category) during final approach. To reduce the Runway Occupancy Time pilots should make use of the following procedure: a. Good operating practice is to aim for an exit that can be made, rather than aiming for an earlier one, just to miss it and roll slowly to the next b. As a rule runways shall be vacated via rapid exit Taxiways. As far as practicable, the runway should always be vacated via the most appropriate rapid exit taxiway for your aircraft type (see table below): RWY 11 RWY 16 RWY 29 RWY 34 Aircraft category HEAVY MEDIUM (JET) MEDIUM (Turboprops) LIGHT (JET) LIGHT TWY Designator (Distance) A ft A6 (A8) 6102 ft (3839 ft) A ft A ft A ft TWY Designator (Distance) B ft B8 (B6) 5577 ft (3986 ft) B ft B ft B ft TWY Designator (Distance) A ft A ft A ft A ft A ft TWY Designator (Distance) B5 (B4) 6365 ft (7661 ft) B7 (B5) 5348 ft (6365 ft) B ft B ft B ft 2. Approach control prior to arrival Departure Slot Time (SPEC/ENR ) If unable to comply with the HIRO System advise TWR as soon as possible. Departures Calculated Take Off Time (CTOT), will be automatically allocated/transmitted 2 hours before Estimated Off Block Time (EOBT). The tolerance around the CTOT is -5/+10 minutes and is ATC will consider every aircraft at the holding point Ready to expect aircraft to commence line up/take off roll within 10 seconds of being issued takeoff clearance. Pilots not ready when reaching

81 BELGIUM 3-13 (a) Low flying over familiar terrain has little training value and with the aim of reducing noise disturbance, pilots of jet aircraft will not fly lower than 1000 ft AGL within 15 NM radius of their own base or along familiar routes (e.g. to and from weapon ranges). Flying at a lower height is only permitted for flying operations involving Belgian aircraft and TLP operations and to meet specific training, flight safety or weather avoidance requirements. (b) Use of standard routes Aircrew are to avoid the use of standard routes and have to diversify their everyday training routes away from well used choke points, except when such routes are required by training establishments. (c) Repetitive overflights Aircrew are not to make repetitive overflights of targets, IP s, etc... unless it is essential to the training aim of the sortie. But under no circumstances should these areas be overflown more than twice. (d) Use of afterburner The use of afterburner is prohibited below 4500 ft AGL except for take-off, climb out and in case of emergency.

BELGIUM - The information shown represents a composite of the migration routes and concentration areas for the entire year. Low level flight over colonies of Black-headed Gull (April-June) involve a very high risk and low level flight over the coast always involve a high risk. Day flights during September and October, and also night flights during July, August and September involve a higher risk than usual. 80% of night migration occurs below 4500 AGL and the most between 300 and % of day migration occurs below 3000 AGL and the most between the ground and Bird migration intensity during April-May and August- October is lowest between 0100 and 0500 and between 1200 and CHIEVRES AB (EBCV) - Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) - Numerous birds on and in vicinity of airfield throughout the year due to constant farming activity within 30 meters of the runway. Chievres AB is in BASH Phase II during planting and harvesting operations (March-April and October-November). Expect increased activity at dusk/dawn +/- 1 hour. Lapwings, pigeons, rooks, gulls, and starlings account for over 80% of bird strikes. In order to minimize the risk of bird strikes, request all air traffic transitioning Chievres AB adhere to the following: a. Contact Chievres (EBCV) PTD to obtain Bird Watch Condition (BWC) status while enroute and before descent into Chievres AB. b. BWC codes are as follows: (1) LOW - Bird activity on and around the airfield representing low potential for strikes. No restrictions during this condition. (2) MODERATE - Bird activity near the active runway or specific location representing increased potential for strikes. BWC moderate requires increased vigilance by all agencies and BENIN 3-15 supervisors and caution by aircrew. Only departures and full-stop landings will be permitted during BWC moderate. Local training flights must be approved by the 86 Operations Group Commander, Ramstein Air Base, Germany. (3) SEVERE - Bird activity on or immediately above the active runway or other specific location representing high potential for strikes. All arrivals and departures will be delayed until the bird condition is reduced. Minimum fuel or emergency aircraft will be permitted to land, straight-in full stops only, and will be at the discretion of the pilot-incommand. Takeoffs and landings of any aircraft must be approved by the 86 Operations Group Commander, Ramstein Air Base, Germany.

FLIGHT PLANNING (GPH 204, CHAP 5) 1. All aircraft flying in a generally eastbound or westbound direction must flight plan so that specified 10 of longitude (W60 00, W50 00, W40 00, W30 00 ), as applicable, are crossed at whole degrees of latitude. Generally northbound or southbound aircraft must flight plan so that specified parallel of latitude spaced at intervals of 5 (N65 00, N60 00, N55 00, etc) are crossed at whole degrees of longitude. 2. Pilots of potential non-stop westbound flights may flight plan to any suitable aeronautical radio facility or designated intersection east of W70, and in addition, specify route and altitude to any of the approved regular or alternate airport designated as international for use as the flight plan alternate. Prior to reaching the flight plan fix or clearance limit, the pilot, after assessing the onward flight conditions, will normally file to the airport of ultimate destination and will request an ATC clearance accordingly. However, should it be determined that flight to the airport of destination is undesirable, the pilot will file to a regular or alternate airport and request an appropriate ATC clearance. If for any reason an onward ATC clearance from the flight plan fix is not obtained by the time the fix is reached, the pilot must proceed toward the alternate in the manner specified in the flight plan or amendments thereto. 3. MILITARY CLIMB CORRIDOR - The corridor is a great circle track running along the 62nd parallel lying between the W044 and the W050 meridians, extending vertically from FL195 up to and includes FL450, and is restricted to flights operated by the Royal Danish Air Force. Aircrews plan flight thru the corridor airspace may contact Gander OAC for the current status of the corridor. Requests for the use of the Military Climb Corridor must be submitted to the Danish CAA. TELEX: (CAA/DK) AFTN: EKCAYAYX, ATTN ATS DIVISION PHONE: EXT 477 TELEFAX: (AFFSA/AFFSA) 4. NAT operators will provide Canadian Area Control Center with all flight plans for eastbound NAT flights which will traverse their airspace. These flight plans will include the estimate for each CTA boundary and a coast-out fix estimate in item NAT operators will, where possible, file eastbound NAT flight plan at least 4 hours prior to ETA from coast-out fix. 6. Nat operators are to provide 2nd and 3rd route options at the end of the "RMK" portion of the ICAO flight plan. With respect to eastbound NAT flights planned to operate on the NAT system, operators who do not have the capability to provide this information in item 1A should provide it via separate AFTN message to Gander Area Control Center (CYQXZQZX). CLEARANCE INFORMATION - 1. OCEANIC CLEARANCE DELIVERY PROCEDURES. a. In order to reduce the radio workload associated with the readback of eastbound oceanic clearance via established North Atlantic (NAT) track, and differentiate between the previous and current day s published track message, including amendments, Gander ACC will employ the following procedures: (1) Each eastbound track message will be identified by a 3 digit track identification number in the Remarks section of the message. (2) Any subsequent track change will include a new remarks line amending the previous track message identification number. (3) Amendments will be identified by adding an alpha character to the track message identification number for each revision. b. Gander Clearance Delivery will issue an oceanic clearance via published track using only the track letter without the current NAT track identification number. c. Pilots in possession of a valid copy of the NAT track message are instructed to include the NAT track message identification number in their clearance readback. (1) If the track message identification number is included in the read back, do not read back the track coordinates. (2) Any doubt as to the track message identification or NAT track coordinates by either the pilot or ATC will require a detailed readback of track coordinates. d. Aircraft equipped with Air Ground Communications System (AGCS) datalink capability shall use the following procedures:

90 3-22 CANARY ISLANDS (1) Aircraft authorized to acknowledge oceanic clearance via datalink are not affected. (2) Aircraft not approved or capable of acknowledging oceanic clearance via datalink are required to read back only the track letter. (CA NOTAM 0494/93) e. Gander ACC frequencies and will be utilized from 2330 to 0530 for clearance delivery. Changes to these frequencies will be made by NOTAM, NAT Track Message, or voice broadcast. f. All eastbound NAT aircraft entering the Gander Domestic FIR and crossing the CZQX/CZQM CTA boundary between YNA and HEMMI are required to obtain an oceanic clearance when within 200 NM of the published clearance delivery frequency location. (1) Frequency is located at Allens Island (N46 50 W55 47 ). (2) Frequency is located at Stephenville (N48 35 W58 40 ). g. Eastbound aircraft crossing Gander s Western CTA boundary on or north of a line JIGGS direct Gander utilize as the primary clearance delivery frequency. Eastbound aircraft south of this line use h. Pilots shall maintain a continuous listening watch on the controlling frequency while obtaining the oceanic clearance. i. Data lilnk equipped aircraft are not exempt from these procedures. All oceanic clearance, during the times specified, must be verified with Gander Clearance Delivery. However, those aircraft having authorization to do so may verify only the message sequence number. j. After receipt of oceanic clearance and upon initial contact with Gander Area Control Center on the assigned control frequency, pilots shall confirm receipt of oceanic clearance from Gander Clearance Delivery. k. Due to expected frequency loading on both clearance delivery and control frequencies, pilots are requested to refrain from unnecessary lengthy debate with respect to oceanic clearance and procedures. Comments and/or complaints should be processed after flight through company operations.

108 3-40 FRANCE RVSM RULES - 1. RVSM Airspace: a. The airspace within France UIR between FL290-FL410 inclusive is EUR RVSM airspace. b. Airspace within the France UIR west of N49 26 W05 05 to N47 30 W05 30 to N W , between FL290- FL410 inclusive, is EUR/NAT RVSM transition airspace. (SPECS/ENR , 2.4-6, 2.4-7) OTHER - a. The lowest cruising level must provide at least 500 ft above the higher of 3000' MSL or 1000' AGL. b. IFR aircraft in uncontrolled airspace must establish twoway communications and then maintain a listening watch. (SPEC/GEN ) OPERATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC 1. Applies to flights which cannot comply with General Air Traffic (GAT) rules due to the nature of the mission. 2. TYPE I - Is the equivalent of GAT IFR. 1. IFR flights outside of controlled airspace.

109 FRANCE 3-41 NOTE: Acceptance of Type I traffic cannot be assured when "Exercise Poker" is in effect. a. TYPE V - Flights are not controlled and may take place by day or night under visual flying conditions. They are authorized anywhere provided the minima are maintained. (See instructions regarding OAT/V) (USAFE ATCLO PARIS/USAFE ATCLO PARIS FIL ) b. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING OAT FLIGHTS (1) OAT flight is performed entirely within France or is transferable to an adjacent country which is capable of interfacing with the French OAT system, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain. It is impossible for an aircraft on an OAT Flight plan overflying France to be transferred to or from the Italian ATC system. These flights must terminate their OAT phases and be transferred to GAT at designated transfer points on the OAT/I preferential routing chart. These flights, as well as those desiring GAT in the adjoining countries, must file a "Mixed GAT/OAT flight plan". (2) All OAT flights above FL55 or 1500 AGL, whichever is higher, must be controlled by Military Radar. For missions having a high-low profile, descent and climb must be performed under control of an approach control or an ARTCC. Below the lower boundary of control, the flight must be continued in Type V. (See High-Low-High Flight Procedures.) The minimum radar separation between aircraft enroute is 5 NM or 1000 below FL290, 2000 above FL290. The separation of all detected and known flights is the responsibility of the controlling radar agency. Avoidance instructions given by ATC are mandatory and must be carried out immediately. Navigation is the responsibility of the pilot who must ensure that the flight plan route is followed, unless otherwise instructed by ATC. The controller will issue instructions to return to the flight plan route as necessary. (3) For proper routing ensure that the flight plan is routed to the Centralized Flight Information Office (BIVC)(LFXOYXYX) and the Air Operations National Center (CNOA) (LFPJYWZQ). Prior to departure aircrews must receive an acceptance message (Abbreviated on the Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunications Network-AFTN-Message as ACP). Check with Base Operations to ensure compliance. DO NOT DEPART WITHOUT THIS ACP MESSAGE. NOTE 1: Mandatory Mixed GAT/OAT addresses include LFXOYXYX and LFPJYWZQ, and Eurocontrol AFTN - EUCHZMFP, and EUCBZMFP, or Eurocontrol SITA - BRUEP7X and PAREP7X. NOTE 2: Base Operations should notify the USAFE ATC Liaison in Paris ( ) whenever they have not received an acceptance message 30 minutes prior to the estimated time of departure. (4) OAT flights requiring special control measures (night flight, airspace reservations, etc.) must address an OAT advance notice message to CNOA Lyon (LFXVYWZQ) and fax to American ATC Liaison ( ) two working days in advance of their execution. The message will include: (a) Number/type aircraft (b) Departure airport (c) Inclusive dates/times (d) Flight level (e) US code, and (f) Brief description of services required. (USAFE ATCLO PARIS/USAFE ATCLO PARIS ) (5) Units desiring French Military OAT Charts and Guides should contact the appropriate service representative and justify their requirements as outlined in the NGA Aeronautical Catalog Part 1, Volume 1, page 2-10 paragraph c.(2) (TFMWG-E/NGA-OGIEG) c. OAT FLIGHTS IN LOWER TRAFFIC AREA (LTA) (1) Airspace Involved - The lower traffic area (LTA) is a Class D Airspace, except for the airspace located over the High Seas (12 NM out from the coasts) and mountainous areas which are in Class E. The LTA consists of FIR for Brest, Bordeaux, Marseille, Paris, and Reims above the highest of either FL115 or 3000 AGL (900m) with the exception of the following: Airways. (a) Airspace delegated to a foreign air traffic unit. (b) Terminal Control Areas, Control Zones and (c) Special Control Areas and Zones. Restricted, Danger and Prohibited Areas. (2) Type V Military Air Traffic in Class D LTA. (a) In general, Type V military air traffic flights require a clearance to enter the LTA. When they have received a clearance from the appropriate Region Control Center, these flights will receive service identical to that of VFR flight in the same airspace. To do this, Type V military air traffic must satisfy the same equipment conditions as VFR aircraft. (b) Type V military air traffic flights that have not obtained a clearance may enter the LTA without a clearance in order to carry out a mission, but they should squawk transponder code A0400 while transiting the LTA. All traffic, no matter what type, should follow the rules of the air for collision avoidance. (c) Type V military flights that, for technical or operational reasons are not in a position to request a clearance, can enter the LTA notwithstanding the conditions set forth in previous paragraphs. Instead, they should apply the procedure designed for flights that have not obtained clearances found in the preceding paragraph. (3) Type I Military Air Traffic (a) Type I military air traffic is controlled in the LTA by military control centers. (b) Crossing airways is done without coordination under radar control. (c) Entry into TCA is possible when conditions for use are established by protocols between the air traffic units involved. This provision does not interfere with aircraft under the control of ship-based units while they are operating in international airspace outside territorial waters. (d) Airspace outside TCA and airways can be temporarily used in Class D airspace for special military activities. Conversely, clearances can be granted by the controlling authority, outside the TCA or airways (in order to return to airports, transition outside of air routes) Information on these practices will be shared among the ATS units. (SPEC/MIL ENR 2.1-2, 2.1-4)

110 3-42 FRANCE d. OAT MINIMUM FLIGHT ALTITUDES (1) Except for takeoff and landing, OAT Type I aircraft should not fly below the following minimum level: (a) Minimum safe altitude which provides 3000 ft clearance between the aircraft and the highest obstacle within a 25NM radius. (b) The lower control boundary defined as the most restrictive of the following: Minimum detection altitude ft and the safe altitude. (c) Specified distance from the lower boundary of reserved airspace according to instructions issued by each headquarters or command involved or in the flight orders. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.3-2) (2) Except for takeoff and landing, OAT Type V aircraft should not fly below the level shown in the OAT V FLIGHT LEVELS table. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.2-1) e. OAT FLIGHT LEVELS (1) RVSM Areas. In order to provide separation for aircraft operating in IFR general air traffic, semi-circular flight levels are used for Military air traffic flights. Military air traffic flight levels are inserted between flight levels in IFR general air traffic. In lower airspace they are identical to VFR general air traffic flight levels. NOTE: * Because separation between FL405 and FL420 is 1500 ft, these two FL will not be used simultaneously. OAT FLIGHT LEVELS IN NON-RVSM AREAS Magnetic Route FL etc etc. 35 FL etc etc. 25 NOTE 1: In RVSM areas, separation between two controlled Military air traffic flights is 1000 ft below FL285, 2000ft above FL285. In non-rvsm areas, separation between two controlled Military air traffic flights is 1000 ft below FL295, 2000ft above FL295. NOTE 2: FL25 can be used when a transition altitude has not been established and when the QNH is greater than or equal to hectopascals. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.7-2) R V S M OAT FLIGHT LEVELS IN RVSM AREAS Magnetic Route FL etc * etc. 35 FL etc * etc. 45 f.

MILITARY AIR TRAFFIC. FLIGHT PLANNING Sat - Sun - Hol before 1100Z++ on the last duty day before weekend or holiday a. France has designated three types of military air traffic. (1) Type I (IFR): Controlled flight under control of surveillance radar. ATC agency is aware of the position of the aircraft in order to provide separation and is responsible for prevention of collisions between known or detected aircraft. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.3) (2) Type T (Tactical): Controlled flight or part of flight which takes place in specially allocated airspace or route, which allows protection for certain types of activity. Protection can take place in the form of a segregated area or airspace, flight level allocation or time slots. The pilot is responsible for navigation and for respecting the airspace boundaries or route. Flight can be conducted in IMC or VMC. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.4) (3) Type V: Uncontrolled flights. Flights can only be conducted in VMC. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1.2) b. The same military flight can consist of successive phases of different types: I, T, or V. A military air traffic flight can also consist of flight phases in General Air Traffic which is called a Mixed Flight. (SPEC/MIL ENR ,13) c.

ADDRESSEES The aircraft commander/pilot is responsible for insuring that the flight plan is completed in accordance with the instructions given. It is the Base Operations Dispatcher s responsibility to insure the proper addressing of a flight plan, however, it is highly recommended that pilots advise Base Operations of any mission that require GAT/OAT transfer in order to insure proper addressing of the flight plan as follows: a. In all Cases, the OAT flight plan is sent: (1) to the central flight information office (LFXOYXYX); (2) to the Control and reporting center (CRC) attached to the departing aerodrome; (3) to the other CRCs concerned by the flight; (4) to the CMCCs of the areas concerned by the flight; (5) to the destination aerodrome; (6) to the departing aerodrome if the flight plan is filed by BIVC or in a different aerodrome; (7) to the alternate aerodromes concerned. b. Specificities: the flight plans and the associated messages relate to: (1) the flights concerning the area of MARINA (LFBWYWYX) are mandatorily transmitted to MARENGO (LFWBYWYX); (2) the flights concerning the areas of RAMBERT (LFXVYWYX) are mandatorily transmitted to MARIUS (LFMMYWYX) and MARENGO (LFWBYWYX) for the western part of RAMBERT area (004 E); (3) the flights concerning the areas of RIESLING (LFYAYWYX) are mandatorily transmitted to CHAMPAGNE (LFEEYWYX); (4) the flights including in-flight refueling by C-135 FR are sent to the COFAS(LFXVYWZQ); (5) the flights concerning the areas of RAKI (LFXOYWYX), MENHIR part, and the area of MARINA (LFBWYWYX) are mandatorily transmitted to MENHIR (LFRRYWYX); (6) the flights executed with the framework of certain major exercises will be sent to additional organisms mentioned in the operation orders; (7) the allied OAT flights are addressed, in addition to the organisms concerned by the flight, to the CNOA (LFXVYWZQ); (8) the OAT flights taking place on SAT, SUN and HOL will form the subject of a flightplan sent to the CNOA. (9) the flights concerning the areas of RIESLING (LFYAYWYX) and RAKI (LFXOYWYX), excepted MENHIR part, are mandatorily transmitted to METRO (LFFFYWYX); NOTE: In no case should a civil addressee or civil ATCC identifier appear in a purely OAT flight plan. (See OAT/I preferential routing chart for Military ATCC area call signs and corresponding addressees) If transferring to GAT in the UK refer to instructions in OAT Restrictions. (USAFE ATCLO PARIS/USAFE ATCLO PARIS FIL ) 3. PREPARATION OF THE MIXED GAT/OAT FLIGHT PLAN a. A "mixed" flight is a flight that alternately comprises flight phases under GAT and under OAT. A mixed flight can include all or part of the following sections: (1) part executed under GAT/IFR in area IFPZ; (2) part executed under GAT/IFR outside area IFPZ; (3) part executed under GAT/VFR; (4) part executed under OAT b. Except for the flight plan for which drafting includes the specific items described below, the messages associated to a "mixed" flight plan are GAT and/or OAT messages depending on the part of the flight concerned. c. Validity: (1) OAT: The flight plan remains valid for 60 minutes after estimated time of departure. After this period the flight plan is automatically cancelled unless a delay message (DLA) is sent. (2) GAT/VFR: no validity period (3) GAT/IFR: 60 minutes in the absence of regulation measures. The fact of declaring the departure time can bring the flight into a regulation period and be subjected to tactical regulation measures. Consultation of the ANM makes it possible to know if a flight has a risk or not of being in this case. In case of regulation, the tolerance for complying with the calculated time of departure (CTOT) mentioned in the time slot allotment message varies from - 5 minutes to + 10 minutes. In case of a foreseeable delay resulting in the non-compliance of the validity period, the following must be sent to the IFPUs: (a) A delay MSG (DLA) if the flight, delayed or postponed by more than 30 minutes with respect to its ETD, was not allotted a time slot, (b) A time slot revision message (SRR) otherwise. NOTE: It is recommended to comply with the timings as exactly as possible. Any cancellation of a flight for which a flight plan was filed must be notified at the earliest to the IFPS system by a CNL message. d. ACCEPTANCE OR REFUSAL OF FLIGHT PLANS: After receipt and verification of the flight plan, EUROCONTROL and the Military Central Flight Information Office transmits; (1) OAT: (a) An acceptance message (ACP) which constitutes the authorization to proceed with the flight.

118 3-50 FRANCE or (b) A refusal message (REFUS) which consists of a flight plan refusal (the flight plan is cancelled) and the reason for the refusal. (2) GAT: (a) An acknowledge message (ACK) which constitutes the authorization to proceed with the flight. or (b) A Reject (REJ) message shall be sent to the message originator to indicate that the submitted flight plan could not be processed successfully, either automatically or manually, and that the flight plan has not been accepted and processed by the IFPS. e. If for any reason an approved (ACK/ACP) flight plan is not going to be used, a cancellation message must be sent to all concerned organizations for processing. The cancellation message is sent in the following format: (1) GAT: (CNL-CALL SIGN-DEPARTURE AIRPORT, EOBT-DESTINATION AIRPORT/DATE OF FLIGHT). Example (CNL-ABC567-EGLL1500-KJFK-DOF/130503). (2) OAT: (CNL - CALL SIGN - DEPARTURE AIRPORT - DESTINATION AIRPORT - FLIGHT PLAN NO.). Example (CNL - FUHMC - LFKS - LFSI - NPL09KS). f. If applicable a CRV (post flight) message for foreign pilots. g. ADDRESSES: All flight plans and associated messages for IFR/GAT flights or parts thereof intending to operate within the IFPS Zone (IFPZ), when filed via AFTN or SITA, shall be addressed only to the two IFPS addresses for that portion of flight within the IFPZ. After the flight plan is received it will be forwarded: (1) Automatically to the air traffic organizations concerned by the GAT/IFR part in area IFPZ (2) To the additional organisms designated by the transmitter with prefix AD. The IFPS addresses for all flight plan and associated message submissions via AFTN or SITA are: Network FP1 Haren, Belgium FP2 Brétigny, France AFTN EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP SITA BRUEP7X PAREP7X NOTE 1: All flight plans and associated messages must be addressed to both IFPS Units either via the AFTN network or the SITA network, but not both networks. NOTE 2: It is up to the user (drafter or transmitter or the flight plan) to inform the IFPS on the organizations concerned by the flight that the system may not know, i.e. the organizations concerned by the GAT/IFR phases executed outside the IFPZ area, for GAT/VFR and OAT. (3) Additional addressees are, as a function of the corresponding phase, given in the following table: FLIGHT PHASE ADDITIONAL ADDRESSES GAT/IFR GAT/VFR OAT (4) The addresses of these organizations must be included after the transmitter information line and immediately before the opening bracket marking the start of message. Example: FF EUCHZMFP EUCBZMFP LFPVZPZX AD ADRESSE 1 ADRESSE ADRESSE 7 AD ADRESSE ADRESSE 10 (FPL-FAF4421-IM-C160/M-S/C-LFPV RMK/MIXED GAT/OAT - DOF/100518) (5) In order to limit entry errors, the addresses of additional organisms will be written in the same location of the flight plan form. Furthermore, the following rules must be complied with: (a) Place the AD symbol before each line containing additional addresses, single line. (b) Enter seven additional addresses at most per line, (c) Each address must include eight characters, (d) Group all the French military addressees on a h. The mixed flight plan is composed of a GAT flight plan augmented by the following information: route. General air traffic service organisms of FIRs and UIRs crossed. Destination aerodromes and alternate designation aerodromes if the latter are located outside the IFPZ area. Alternate aerodrome not served by IFPS Civilian air traffic organizations of FIRs crossed. Destination aerodromes and alternate destination aerodromes Organizations mentioned above. Military enroute control and coordination organizations (CDC, CMCC) where the IFR/OAT I and OAT I/IFR changes are made. Destination and alternate aerodromes. Central flight information office (LFXOYXYX) Air operations national center (LFXVYWZQ) (1) BLOCK 15 ROUTE: (a) Insert a chronological description of the OAT (b) Departure under OAT: (c) If the flight begins under OAT, do not enter OAT at the start of the route description. (d) Change of traffic type: At the point/fix where type of traffic changes, add: - For passage under GAT/IFR, the speed and level, preceded by a slash, then the symbol GAT preceded by a space: i.e.: passage under IFR at TBO then route UN869 towards SOVAR: TBO/M090F470 GAT UN869 SOVAR - Indicate the entry and exit point and the requested levels at the lateral limits of the airspace. RVSM EUR, if the aircraft is/is not equipped with RVSM.

119 FRANCE For passage under GAT/VFR, the symbol /VFR preceded by a space the speed and altitude: i.e.: passage to VFR at LMG: LMG /VFR N0240A For passage under OAT not followed by a flight phase under GAT/IFR, the symbol /OAT preceded by a space then the radio call sign of the first military enroute and coordination control organization (CDC, CMCC, DMC) concerned by the flight, the initial flight type, the flight speed and level followed by the route. i.e.: passage under OAT I at ENSAC then route ITI 22 towards MRA01 ENSAC /OAT MARINA AI M090F345 ITI22 MRA01. NOTE 1: When passage under OAT is followed by a flight phase under GAT/IFR, do not use OAT. The IFPS system stops processing the route as soon as it detects the OAT symbol. NOTE 2: The IFPS system ignores, and will not forward to civilian centers, any portion of the flight plan after the point where "OAT" was placed in the route. This continues until "GAT" (as noted above) is reintroduced to the route. Failure to put "GAT" into the route after the point where desired traffic change takes place may lead to civilian centers being unaware of the flight, potentially causing delays, border refusals, or undesired route changes. (2) BLOCK 18 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION: (a) After RMK/, add all the other information or requests judged to be useful: aircraft. indication. (b) For formation flights, the registration of the other (c) The MIXED GAT/OAT or MIXED OAT/GAT (d) For authorized flights from foreign countries indicate the diplomatic clearance code proceeded by DIC (i.e. DIC USA 200). (e) For air refueling operations, the symbol RVT followed by the track number/name. (f) For a flight plan not to be seen by or sent to an organization not required to have knowledge of it, the symbol PROTECTED.

The Kyll River valley, a major nesting area for ducks, bounds the base to the southwest. The remaining sides consist of privately owned farmland and the Wittlich forest. The forest and farmlands are major attractions for various birds during the growing season between March and November. Phase II is in effect from Mar-Apr and Sep-Oct due to migratory bird activity. Expect increased activity during the Phase II periods. (1) BIRD WATCH CONDITION LOW Normal bird/wildlife activity with a low probability of a hazard to flight operations. No restrictions. (2) BIRD WATCH CONDITION MODERATE Increased activity in locations that represent a probable hazard to flight operations. This condition requires increased vigilance by all agencies and supervisors. Pilots will use caution and perform single ship takeoffs/landings. Pilots will limit initial to 2-ship maximum, and execute full stop landings unless an emergency situation dictates or otherwise directed by the Supervisor of Flying. Restrictions apply to 52 FW pilots only. All other aircrews must follow MAJCOM/service specific guidance regarding BWC MODERATE. (3) BIRD WATCH CONDITION SEVERE - High bird activity on or immediately above the active runway or other location presents a high strike potential. Do not conduct flight operations except in an emergency without OG/CC approval. Arriving aircraft should either hold awaiting a lower BWC or divert. If operations are deemed necessary, the restrictions listed under BWC MODERATE apply. Restrictions apply to 52 FW pilots only. All other aircrews must follow MAJCOM/service specific guidance regarding BWC SEVERE. (52 OSS-OSAM/52 OSS-OSAM FIL ) LANDING FEES - GERMANY Aircrews landing at German civil airports will be required to verify the landing on a form presented by airport authorities or on an Air Force Form 15 or other receipt/delivery form.

(AFFSA/XOIA FIL 96-99) BIRD/WILDLIFE HAZARD DATA BIRD/WILDLIFE CONCENTRATIONS/AREAS - See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. GERMANY - The main migration periods are between 20 February and 10 May and between 1 September and 15 November. In mild winters spring migration may start as early as the end of January. The highest intensities are reached in March. Long distance migrants from Africa cross central Europe in April/May. During the summer, numerous ducks gather in the Heligoland Bight and on inland waters for moulting. There are intermediate movements of small birds in June and July. The first long-distance migrants leave Central Europe at the end of August. The highest intensities are usually in August; but when weather is mild, may be delayed til November. In spring bird migration would be favored by a southwesterly wind and advection of warm air, in autumn by a highpressure influence. In the face of prevailing headwinds the migration altitude frequently decreases below 500 AGL. There are about 26 bird strike high risk days. Ramstein AB (ETAR) 1. CAUTION: Numerous birds, deer, foxes, and rabbits on and in the vicinity of the airfield throughout the year. Bird activity phase II and main bird migration periods are May thru October. Bird activity Phase I can be expected during the months November thru April. During the summer, numerous ducks gather on inland waters for molting. Also, there are immediate movements of small birds in June and July. In the face of prevailing headwinds, the bird migration altitude frequently decreases below 500 AGL. Bird Watch Condition Codes are: a. LOW - Bird activity on and around the airfield representing low potential for strikes. Bird activity is just a few

159 GERMANY 3-91 scattered small species around the field perimeter. There are no restrictions during this condition. b. MODERATE - Bird activity near the active runway or other specific location representing increased potential for strikes. Any number of soaring birds of prey near the airfield, flocks of medium size (less than 10) or small (less than 20) birds consistently passing over the field. BWC MODERATE requires increased vigilance by all agencies and supervisors and caution by aircrews. Local training flights must be approved by the 86 OG/CC or designated representative. c. SEVERE - Bird activity on or immediately above, the active runway or other specific location representing high potential for strikes. Any number of large soaring birds over the runways or in the runway arrival/departure flight path. Congregations of medium (more than 10) or small (more than 20) birds loitering on or over the airfield. Supervisors and aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission need before conducting operations in areas under condition SEVERE. Flight operations shall not be conducted except in an emergency and will be at the discretion of the pilotin-command. All other arrivals and departures will be delayed until the bird condition is reduced or approved by appropriate waiver authority, 86 OG/CC. 2. Bird activities up to 5000 MSL at Potzberg Hill Wildlife Resort (6.5 NM NW RMS) from April thru October. Crews should plan to avoid area (N E ) by at least 0.5 NM. 3. Bird activities due to large areas of standing water caused by construction projects. One large pond between Rwy s and west of Twy Echo near center of airfield. Second large pond between Rwy s and west of Twy Golf near Twy Kilo. At times large numbers of birds gather around these ponds and can include large and medium sized waterfowl. Exercise extreme caution when operating near these areas. Contact TWR or report bird activity on the airfield and vicinity. (86 OSS/OSAM/86 OSS/OSAM FIL ) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RADAR ASSISTED FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICES - 1. For the purpose of increasing safety in the airspace, a Radar Assisted Flight Information Service (RAFIS) will be provided for military flights according to Visual Flight Rules (OAT VFR Flights). This service will be performed by the ATC unit of the DFS responsible for the respective Flight Information Region, by local military approach control units within their area of responsibility or remote military units. 2. On request, RAFIS will assist OAT-VFR flights requiring a special operational assistance by radar; in particular, RAFIS is intended to facilitate the change from VFR flight to IFR flight and the transits through classes C and D airspace for flights according to Visual Flight Rules. 3. In addition to providing general flight information service, RAFIS has the following tasks: a. Radar traffic information is given to identified flights conducted according to Visual Flight Rules if the closure if an unidentified aircraft might result in a collision hazard. b. Recommended traffic avoidance if required by the situation and if the pilot has no visual contact with reported traffic. c. Navigational assistance if pilot requests comprising: (1) position information (2) flight path tracking (3) magnetic headings 4. Upon request by the pilot, RAFIS coordinates the transit through airspace C/D. For this purpose, an ATC clearance for entry into airspace C/D has to be obtained from the ATC unit's ground controller responsible for the airspace and transmitted to the pilot. The ATC unit responsible for issuing the ATC clearance for entry into airspace C/D determines whether frequency is necessary or not. 5. Detailed information on responsibilities within the FIRs and on calling frequencies are contained in the MIL AIP, ENR 6-10 and in the GEMIL FLIP MAP, Chapter 5 "Contact points for the change from VFR flights to IFR flights". 6. Military VFR flights using RAFIS will be identified. The ATC unit will direct the pilot to switch to mode 3/A, code XXX7, and mode C. 7. The provision of ATC service has priority over the provision of RAFIS. If RAFIS cannot be provided by the ATC unit, the pilot will be notified accordingly and, if possible, given an alternative recommendation. (SPEC/MIL GEN 3.3-3,4) 8. RAFIS mandatory Area within the Bremen FIR.

BIRD/WILDLIFE HAZARD DATA BIRD/WILDLIFE CONCENTRATIONS/AREAS - See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. 1. GREECE a. The concentration areas marked on the map indicate the breeding areas (mid-april until mid-june) of more than 29,000 birds which constitute a high bird strike risk. During the winter period (mid-november until mid-february) the number of waterfowl increases to a total of 700,000 birds in addition to more than 1 1/2 million starlings. b. In the concentration areas from March until May and August until September, thousands of storks and pelicans ascend in up currents so that aircraft flying below 3000 AGL day, 4000 AGL night may encounter a heavy bird strike risk. c. The number of storks and pelicans which come from east and southeast Europe is greatest from mid-february until mid-may and from mid-august until October. d. From mid-march until early May other large birds pass through on a broad front. Concentrations of these birds may occur in the Evros Delta and in the Gulf of Salonika which witness the movements of more than 40,000 birds. e. From mid-august until end of October broad front migration occurs in the eastern parts, but narrow front movements are observed in central and western Greece. More than 10,000 birds may pass thru each day at heights between 1000 and 3000 AGL. These movements seem to be favored by high pressure conditions.

These departure routes have to be followed by heavy and medium turbulence category aircraft and light category jet aircraft. a. Nighttime (between ( )) Operational regulations which differ from daytime: (1) For noise protection reasons, primarily RWY 31R and RWY 13R are to be used by arriving traffic during the night, in compliance with the prevailing legal provisions. Light turbulence category aircraft arriving for the Terminal 1 apron may also use RWY 31L for landing outside of the period of deep sleep, from midnight to (2) For noise protection reasons, from midnight to 0400, RWY 13L is to be used for take-off and RWY 31R is to be used for landing. In the case of RWY 13L/31R being closed during this period, RWY 13R is to be used for take-off and RWY 31L is to be used for landing. (SPEC/LHBP AD ) b. ARRIVALS (1) It is prohibited for arriving aircraft to perform an approach below the glide path determined for the 3 theoretical glide path in the PAPI glide path or in the given approach procedure from the FAP / FAF (Final Approach Point / FIX). Aircraft performing calibration flights are exceptions to this rule. (2) The noise abatement behavior expected of aircraft pilots during arrivals is as follows: (a) Prior to final approach, the last reported altitude must be maintained for as long as possible. (b) The reduction of the speed of the aircraft and the release of the landing gear and of high lift devices must be planned so that the conditions for a stabilized approach and the

167 HUNGARY 3-99 appropriate approach speed are in place by 5 NM from the touchdown point, at the latest, on the final approach. (c) Descent during final approach should be controlled so that increases to engine power can be avoided as much as possible. (d) During nighttime, from ( ) the use of reverse thrust should be limited to idle thrust, except if operational circumstances require the use of a higher level of thrust. (SPEC/LHBP AD ) c. DEPARTURES: (1) The use of taxiways for runway 13L/31R for departing aircraft for noise abatement reasons: (a) In the case of departure from runway 13L, pilots are requested by the airport operator to plan take-off from taxiway intersection K, if possible. (b) If a departing aircraft belonging to the medium or heavy turbulence category receives/is given runway 31R for takeoff, it must commence take-off from the end of the runway, using taxiway A9. If runway 13R/31L is not available, a runway 31R takeoff from taxiway intersection X may also be permitted to ensure that the order of departing aircraft can be switched. (2) Noise abatement take-off procedures must be used during take-off, except if this is not recommended by the pilot of the aircraft or ATC due to foreseeable reasons (meteorological or aviation safety). (3) The altitude / speed constraints and the valid flight paths for takeoff, landing, arrival and departure are specified in appropriate SIDs and STARs. (SPEC/LHBP AD ) d. TAKE-OFF PROCEDURES: (1) The noise abatement procedure is not to be initiated at less than 800 ft above aerodrome elevation. (2) The initial climbing speed to the noise abatement initiation point shall not be less than V kts. (3) On reaching an altitude at or above 800 ft above aerodrome elevation, adjust engine power/thrust to maintain a climb speed of V to 20 kts with flaps and slats in the takeoff configuration. (4) At 3000 ft above aerodrome elevation, while maintaining a positive rate of climb, accelerate smoothly to enroute climb speed. Retract flaps/slats on schedule.

(USAFE A3C-A3CA-EUCARF/USAFE A3C-A3CA- EUCARF FIL ) CLEARANCE INFORMATION - 1. Aircraft not approved for operation in Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) airspace may be cleared by the responsible ATC unit to climb or descend through MNPS airspace provided: a. the climb is completed within the usable coverage of selected VORDME s or NDB s, and/or within radar coverage of the ATC unit issuing such clearance, and the aircraft is able to maintain Direct Controller/Pilot Communication (DCPC) on VHF, and b. MNPS approved aircraft operating in that part of the MNPS airspace affected by such climbs or descents are not penalized. c. NON-MNPS approved aircraft may also be cleared to climb or descend through MNPS airspace for the sole purpose of landing or departing from an airport which underlies MNPS airspace, but which does not have serviceable short range navaids, radar, or DPCP. Details of the required provision will be found in the AIS publications for the appropriate ATC Provider State. (SPEC/ENR 1.8-4) 2. Cleared on other than filed flight plan route a. The pilot shall proceed in accordance with the last received acknowledged oceanic clearance, including level and speed, to the last specified oceanic route point, normally landfall. After passing this point, the pilot shall conform with the relevant Stat procedures/regulations and rejoin the filed flight plan route by proceeding, via the published ATS route structure where possible, to the next significant point ahead as contained in the filed flight plan. b. The relevant State procedures/regulations to be followed by aircraft in order to rejoin its filed flight plan route are specified in detail in the appropriate National Aeronautical Information Publication. c. Due to their sensitivity to atmospheric conditions, HF communications are inherently less reliable than VHF. Adverse propagation conditions may completely preclude communications in specific volumes of airspace, especially at high latitudes during periods of sunspot activity. Such failure of HF communications is likely to impact all aircraft in the affectdd area. It is therfore imperative under such HF-blackout circumstances that all aircraft continue to adhere to their clearances and do not invoke radio communications failure procedures that stipulate divergence from the cleared flight level. (SPEC/ENR ) 3. OCEANIC CLEARANCE a. A clearance issued by Reykjavik Center to an aircraft entering the Reykjavik CTA becomes effective only at the Reykjavik CTA boundary. It is the responsibility of the pilot to obtain, from the appropriate ATC authority, any necessary clearance or re-clearance to enable him/her to comply with the oceanic clearance. b. REQUESTS FOR CLEARANCES: Aircraft entering Reykjavik Control Area shall contact Iceland Radio with their oceanic clearance request prior to entering Reykjavik OCA: (1) From Edmonton/Mumansk Control Areas on HF frequencies. (2) Aircrews approaching Reykjavik airspace from the Scottish and Stavanger (southern Norway) areas shall contact Iceland Radio on VHF or or HF frequencies to obtain the oceanic clearance. The oceanic clearance is transmitted from Reykjavik OACC to Iceland Radio one Scottish or Stavanger have coordinated the flight with Reykjavik. Therefore, the clearance should be available within 10 to 30 minutes prior to entry into the Reykjavik FIR/CTA. Aircrews unable to obtain their oceanic clearance prior to entry should seek confirmation of their authorization to enter Reykjavik airspace from their current ATS unit (Scottish/Stavanger). Having received confirmation, the aircrew should enter Reykjavik airspace at the level cleared by that unit and continue attempts to obtain the oceanic clearance from Iceland Radio. (3) Independent of the above procedure for obtaining oceanic clearance, aircrews are reminded to maintain listening watch on the Scottish or Stavanger frequency until instructed to contact Reykjavik Control. (SPEC/ENR ) NOTE: Iceland Domestic airspace is vertically defined up to unlimited. Oceanic aircraft transiting Iceland airspace and overflying Iceland fly into Reykjavik Domestic airspace. This allows ATC to use domestic procedural separation between overflying oceanic aircraft and aircraft arriving into or departing from Iceland. This separation can also be used in case of radar failure. Even when positively identified by ground based radar, normal operation is

170 3-102 ICELAND that aircraft that are overflying Iceland are cleared via latitude and longitude and, unless instructed to the contrary, continue to comply with Oceanic procedures (to include maintaining assigned Mach Number, cleared FL and providing position reports). Aircraft arriving and departing Iceland are cleared via fixes, NDB's and VOR's over Iceland. (AMC-A3AA/AMC-A3AA FIL ) 4. OCEANIC CLEARANCES VIA NAT TRACKS a. Reykjavik OACC will issue oceanic clearances for NAT tracks using the track letter without the current NAT track message identification number (TMI). b. Pilots are expected to include the NAT track message identification number in the read back of the Oceanic clearance. c. If the track message identification number is included in the read back, there is no requirement for the pilot to read back the NAT track coordinates. d. If any doubt exists as to the track message identification or NAT track coordinates, the pilot should request the full track coordinates. Similarly, if the pilot cannot correctly identify the track message identification, the NAT track coordinates will be read in full and a read back of those coordinates are required. 5. Aircraft unable to contact Iceland Radio on HF should request that ATC authority for the airspace in which they are operating to relay their request for oceanic clearance to Reykjavik Center. Aircraft in communication with Iceland Radio on HF should also maintain communication with the ATC authority for the airspace in which they are operating.

All departing aircraft with an IFR flight plane shall request a start-up clearance on the appropriate frequency only when the aircraft is ready to start engines immediately. 2. When the expected delay is 15 minutes or more, ATC will provide an expected delay to start-up. Pilots shall hold apron position maintaining a continuous listening watch on the appropriate frequency in order to receive possible updates of the expected delay time. 3. When the expected delay is less than 15 minutes, ATC will provide a clearance to start-up at its own discretion. 4. Aircraft, not ready to clear the apron within 10 minutes after start-up clearance, may be subject to a new modified clearance for ATC necessities. 5. When requesting start-up clearance and successive taxi clearance, destination and stand number must be given. 6. Start-up and taxi clearance does not constitute priority for take-off, since flow sequence of departing traffic may be changed to meet ATC requirements. When an aircraft is subject to ATFCM regulations, it should be advised to start up in accordance with its CTOT. 7. If a start-up clearance is denied, the flight crew shall be advised of the reason. 8. When EOBT exceeds more than 15 minutes changes, the AO/Pilot shall send a DLA/CHG message. 9. AO shall update their FPL with the new EOBT and begin their taxi maneuver in accordance with the ETOT/CTOT. 10. If the EOBT has not been updated, the TWR/APP will deny the start up clearance if it is asked for at EOBT + 15 minutes.

Forward form and remains to 31 FW/SEF. b. Bird Activity Phases: Aviano AB Phase I (low activity) runs from October 1st thru March 31st. Phase II (high activity) runs from April 1st thru September 30th. c. BWC PROHIBITIVE- The presence of birds or other wildlife near the airfield is extensively high for potential aircraft strike. This condition can be declared when large flocks or colonies of birds, or groups of wildlife, are observed on multiple areas within the runway, parking aprons, and/or taxiways. Aircraft will

184 3-116 ITALY not launch, unless required for contingency operations, and all inbound aircraft will fly one straight-in approach to a full stop. d. BWC SEVERE- High bird activity on or immediately above the active runway, on approach or departure routes, or other specific location (low level route) representing high potential for strikes. In addition, multiple large flocks of birds in the traffic pattern or on the infield grass or a flock of birds hovering near short final or transiting short final may qualify for BWC SEVERE. Supervisors and aircrew must thoroughly evaluate mission necessity before conducting operations in areas under BWC SEVERE. Departures or arrivals require OG/CC approval. When authorized, use a minimum of 20 second takeoff spacing (no formation takeoffs or landings). Aircraft landing will be FULL STOPS ONLY via straight-in. Low-level flights are not permitted in the specified area. Areas declared SEVERE shall be reopened only on 31 OG/CC approval. e. BWC MODERATE- Increased bird activity near the active runway, on approach or departure routes, or other specific locations representing increased potential for strikes. This may be a single flock of birds or multiple small flocks that pose a threat to the traffic pattern or infield, or other concentrations of birds which cause a probable hazard but do not warrant stopping flying operations. Another rule of thumb for declaring BWC MODERATE could be using bird dispersion measures more than once during a 10-minute period. Ensure 20 second takeoff spacing is enforced (no formation takeoffs or landings). 300 AGL minimum altitude for low approaches are required. Low-level altitudes will be amended to avoid the hazard. BWC MODERATE requires continuous monitoring and increased vigilance by all applicable agencies and caution by aircrews. f. BWC LOW- Normal bird activity on or immediately above the airfield representing low potential for strikes. No flight restrictions. (31 OSS-OSAB/31 OSS-OSAB FIL ) Bergamo Orio Al Serio (LIME) 1.

FLIGHT HAZARDS 1. AVIANO AB (LIPA/LIYW) - Aircrews are cautioned that there is a radio blind spot north of the Aviano TACAN 235 degree radial. This is a particularly hazardous situation because the radio blind spot varies with distance, altitude and type of aircraft. It is located on/or north of final approach and since base leg heads northeast toward the mountains, aircrews are advised to use TACAN or ADF as backup for their turn onto final. Aircraft approaching Aviano from the north may not be under radio control. Aviano APP CON utilizes non-radar procedures which are dependent on accurate position reporting. The mountainous terrain north of Aviano poses a potential hazard any time the aircrew or controller is unsure of the aircraft's exact position. For information on weather phenomena in the Aviano area, see ADDITIONAL INFO. a. Bird hazards increase during the months of April and May and remain high throughout September. Bird strikes statistically occur below 3000 AGL between the hours of Z (local traffic pattern). Hazardous bird activity should be reported to SOF and/or PTD. 2.

Short distances in meters or feet. 2. Altimeter settings in hectopascals. (SPEC/GEN 2-1-1) See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. 1. There are few concentration areas in Italy and the bird density in summer is small compared with Mid- Europe. The greatest bird strike danger will probably be encountered in low level flight in coastal areas rather than over the open sea or mountains. Flying below 1500 AGL in the concentration areas will involve a risk. 2. The whole of Italy, Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia and the seas around are crossed by broad front movements of migrating birds passing between Europe and North Africa. In the autumn the prevailing direction of movements is towards the southwest and in the spring towards the northeast with flight height up to 8000 AGL. At lower levels some movements may appear more pronounced along certain coast lines; in Corsica and Sardinia the greatest movements of birds in spring is reported to be along the western coast whereas in autumn Italy is more prominent along the eastern coast. 3. In the vicinity of Naples the northeast migration of cranes is sometimes seen in the spring but their southwest passage is not observed in the autumn as the birds then take a different route (looping migration). 4. Generally good weather with little cloud coverage and with light or following wind is required for much migration to take place.

General Flight Procedures 2. Military flight operations over the high-seas a. Foreign military forces may decide to conduct military activity over the high-seas within the lateral limits of the Malta FIR/UIR, inside and/or outside controlled airspace. When these operations are coordinated with Malta ATS and information is available on the lateral and vertical limits, time of activity and status of these areas, Malta ATS will publish an appropriate NOTAM in coordination with the military authorities involved in this activity. b. In case of military activity conducted over the high-seas under the provisions of due regard, Malta ATS will not publish any NOTAM. In such instances the military authorities planning such activity are responsible to comply with applicable ICAO provisions over the high seas and to ensure the safety of air navigation. Malta ATC will endeavor to provide traffic information to flights operating as General Air Traffic (GAT) under its control, in so far as practical, by means of a broadcast message transmitted on the sector concerned. The broadcast message will contain information based on intensity, general position and maximum operating levels of observed traffic on radar. However, Malta ATC may not always be in a position to monitor the unknown traffic and will therefore be unable to provide specific traffic information to single GAT flights. In the event of heavy military activity, Malta ATS may decide to reroute traffic and/or to issue ATFM regulations, as applicable. (SPEC/ENR ) a. Within FRA, users will be able to plan user-preferred trajectories through the use of significant points and radio navigation aids. Segments between significant points will be indicated by means of DCT instructions. b. Within FRA, there is no restriction on the maximum DCT distance that can be flight planned between points. c. The planning of DCT segments that are outside the lateral limits of the FRA in the Malta AOR is not allowed. d.

(AFFSA/XOIA FIL 96-99) BIRD/WILDLIFE HAZARD DATA BIRD/WILDLIFE CONCENTRATIONS/AREAS - See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. NETHERLANDS - The information shown represents a composite of the concentration areas for the entire year. The average altitude flown by day is approximately 1200 MSL and by night approximately 2000 MSL while 10% of the birds fly even higher than 6000 MSL. The main day- migration periods are mid- September until mid-november and early March until May. Heavy night migration may occur early in autumn (from mid-august onwards) and later in spring (till the end of May). During the winter months, sudden fallen snow and frost may stimulate very large numbers of water and open land birds (geese, ducks, waders, starlings, thrushes and larks) to move to the south. The bird strike risk resulting from these winter flights (during a period of sudden thaw, in opposite direction) is particularly high in the western part of the country.

Portugal and Santa Maria Oceanic FIR have implemented the ICAO Annex 11 airspace classification with the following exeptions: a. Classes B, D, E and F not yet implemented. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR 1.4-1) FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE GENERAL PROCEDURES 1. Free-route procedures are available in the Lisboa FIR airspace above FL245. FRA airspace is comprised by the Lisbon FIR excluding the portions of airspace where the air traffic services are provided by Madrid ACC and Seville ACC. FRA airspace incorporates the portion of airspace in Madrid UIR where air traffic services are provided by Lisboa ACC. 2. Within FRA airspace users can plan their own preferred trajectories through the use of 5 letter Waypoints and Radio Navigation Aids listed in the ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1 sections of Portugal's AIP. Segments between Waypoints will be indicated by means of "DCT" instruction. Within the FRA area there will be no limitations on the use of "DCT". 3. Traffic will be subject to General Rules and Procedures (AIP Portugal ENR 1.1), RAD orientation scheme and Internal Letters of Agreement (LoA's) between neighboring ACC's. Overflight traffic should plan directly from FRA airspace entry point to FRA airspace exit point. Arriving traffic should plan directly from FRA airspace entry point to the STAR initial waypoint. Departing traffic should plan directly from SID final waypoint to the FRA airspace exit point. 4. Flight planning within the FRA area will be accomplished with adjacent ATS Route network orientation. For southbound traffic via NELSO connecting to UN741, ODD and EVEN levels are available 50NM prior to arriving at NELSO. 5. Cross-Border-DCT is NOT allowed. Following IFPS procedures, the DCT segment which ends in the FIR but starts in another FIR which is not part of the same National Airspace System is NOT permitted. Airspace users will have to plan their trajectory inside FRA airspace through the use of intermediate waypoints. 6. AO's will plan their trajectory inside FRA disregarding all segregated airspace. In case there is no availability to cross segregated areas, it is expected that the average flight extension to be considered by aircraft operators is approximately 5NM (in exceptional occasions 15NM). However, in most cases radar vectors shall be provided by ATC. For speed and altitude changes inside FRA in the Lisboa FIR, (and changes to a waypoint or navaid) operators may also used LAT/LONG coordinates (see item 15 on Flight Plan). 7. In case of a contingency, a reduced ATS route structure above FL245 will apply as defined in AIPPortugal ENR CONTINGENCY PLANNING IN LISBOA ACC (CONFLICT FREE ALLOCATION SCHEME). In terms of flight planning flight levels within the Lisboa FIR Free Route Airspace area will use the table of cruising levels included in ENR 1.7.5, with the exception of waypoints RIVRO/BARDI. By Letter of Agreement, traffic intending to enter the Lisboa FIR via RIVRO/BARDI must enter in ODD Flight Levels and traffic intending exit Lisboa FIR via RIVRO below FL245 (UM191/B47) or BARDI above FL245 must exit in even Flight Levels.

Santa Maria FIR RVSM Area The airspace within the Santa Maria FIR between FL290 and FL410 inclusive, as described in ENR is NAT RVSM airspace. Within this airspace, the vertical separation minimums shall be: 1. 1,000 ft. between RVSM approved aircraft 2. 2,000 ft. between any Non-RVSM aircraft and any other aircraft when both aircraft are operating within the NAT RVSM airspace. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR 1.1-4) NOTE 1: RVSM State approval is mandatory. An ATC Clearance by itself does not constitute approval to enter RVSM Airspace. NOTE 2: The pilot of the aircraft must advise Santa Maria OAC on initial contact of any in-flight deterioration in navigation capability. Also, if any deterioration in navigation capability occurs within the Santa Maria FIR, the pilot must advise the Santa Maria OAC immediately. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR 1.1-3) FLIGHT PLANNING FILING FLIGHT PLANS - PROCEDURES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF FLIGHT PLANS 1. General a. Lisboa and Santa Maria FIR's are part of the EUROCONTROL IFPS Zone and complies with the procedures and rules of the Network Manager (NM). As published in the Network Operations Handbook/IFPS User s Manual, Flight Plan and associated messages related to flight under IFR/General Air Traffic (GAT), mixed IFR/VFR or GAT/Operational Air Traffic (OAT) are required to be submitted only to the IFPS. b. The submission of Flight Plans and associated messages to the IFPS shall be done through any of the NAV Portugal ARO units, who will forward them by the most direct way. The IFPS will further process, ACK and disseminate the Flight Plan data to the ATS units concerned within the IFPS Zone and the other addresses supplied with the Flight Plan. Further details concerning Network Management/IFPS may be obtained under 'Network Management' via the EUROCONTROL website: URL: c. The submission of VFR Flight Plan shall be made to an appropriate NAV Portugal service, FPL and Briefing or ARO facility (see AIP GEN 3.1), which will forward the message to the ATS Units concerned and to other addresses supplied with the Flight Plan. 2. Time and Place of Submission a. IFR/GAT and mixed IFR/VFR or GAT/OAT Flights Flight Plans shall be submitted at least 60 minutes before EOBT. For flights likely to be subject to ATFM Measures, Flight Plans shall be submitted at least 3 hours before EOBT. AO departing within Portugal shall assume their flight is subject to ATFM measures (see AIP ENR 1.9 for further details concerning ATFM). Flight plans may be submitted more than 24 hours, but not more than 120 hours, in advance of the EOBT, provided the date of flight is given in Item 18 of the Flight Plan in the format DOF/YYMMDD. 3. Special Flight Planning Requirements for Santa Maria FIR a. Operators shall comply with the instructions contained in the ICAO NAT Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc NAT) and in the North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual (NAT Doc. 007), except if otherwise specified herein. The table of cruising levels published on Appendix 3 of ICAO Annex 2, as well as those published in AIP Portugal ENR (Altimeter Setting Procedures), are not applied in the Santa Maria Oceanic FIR. From Santa Maria FIR entry and along the route within the FIR, all levels may be planned 24/7, using 1000ft. increments, whatever the direction of the flight. b. Caution is always recommended regarding the flight level rules applied in the downstream FIRs, because flights will always have to exit Santa Maria Fir at the level approved by the ATC Unit monitoring the flight. Step climbs, cruise climbs, altitude block and route change requests are accepted as part of Santa Maria OAC normal operations. The ATC procedures, upon a request by the pilot, are to provide the requested level and route. The controller decision to authorize a level and/or route change is always dependent of the non-existence of conflicting traffic and the approval from the downstream ATC Unit. c. To improve the safety and efficiency in service provision, from 45N013W to 2218N04000W, along Santa Maria's East and South FIR boundaries, all operators shall flight plan to enter and leave the LPPO FIR (SFC - UNL) through the designated DIR boundary points, as published in AIP Portugal ENR En-route Chart - Santa Maria Oceanic FIR (LPPO and ENR Name Code Designators for Significant Points. d. With the exception of the recommendation to make use of the existing designated boundary waypoints, within Santa Maria FIR, all flights which generally route in an eastbound or westbound direction should normally be flight planned so that specified ten degrees of longitude (20 W, 30 W, 40 W etc.) are crossed at whole degrees of latitude. All generally northbound or southbound flights should normally be flight planned so that specified parallels

236 3-168 PORTUGAL of latitude spaced at five degree intervals (25 N, 30 N, 35 N etc.) are crossed at whole degrees of longitude. e. Within Santa Maria Oceanic FIR airspace and outside surveillance area (SSR, MLAQT or ADS-B, in ENR ), to define a waypoint in Item 15 of the flight plan, operators shall not make use of Bearing and Distance from a Navigation Aid, nor Bearing and Distance from a Reference Point. f. For flights conducted entirely along one of the OTS (Organized Track System), this portion of the route shall be defined in Item 15 of the Flight Plan by inserting the first track waypoint, then the abbreviation 'NAT' followed by the code letter assigned to the track, and finally the last waypoint of the track. g. Flights wishing to join or leave an organized track at some intermediate point are considered random route aircraft and full route details must be specified in the flight plan. The track letter must not be used to abbreviate any portion of the route in these circumstances. For turbo-jet aircraft operating within Santa Maria FIR, the Mach number planned to be used shall be specified in Item 15 of the Flight Plan. h. All RNAV 10 (RNP 10) approved aircraft shall insert the letter 'R' in Item 10(a) of the Flight Plan and the A1 descriptor in Item 18 of the Flight Plan, following PNB/indicator. All RNP 4 approved aircraft shall insert the letter 'R' in Item 10(a) of the Flight Plan and the L1 descriptor in Item 18 of the Flight Plan, following the PBN/indicator. i. All NAT HLA MNPS approved aircraft shall insert the letter 'X' in Item 10(a) of the Flight Plan. All RVSM approved aircraft, regardless of the requested flight level, shall insert the letter 'W' in Item 10(a) of the Flight Plan. j. All FANS 1/A approved aircraft intending to use data link services shall insert in Item 10(a) of the Flight Plan the appropriate descriptor or descriptors (J2, J3, J4, J5, J7) to indicate the CPDLC capabilities and the descriptor D1 on Item 10(b) to indicate ADS-C capability. All ADS-B approved aircraft shall insert the appropriate descriptor or descriptors in Item 10(b) of the Flight Plan. All aircraft shall insert the aircraft registration in Item 18 of the Flight Plan, following the REG/indicator. 4. Changes to the Submitted Flight Plan a. The replacement Flight Plan procedure is applicable for flights subject to AFTM. When a Repetitive Flight Plan (RPL) or an individual Flight Plan (FPL) has been filed and, in the pre-flight stage (i.e. within 4 hours of EOBT, but not later than 30 minutes before EOBT), an alternative routing is selected between the same aerodromes of departure and destination, the operator or pilot shall: (1) Submit a cancellation message (CNL) which shall be transmitted with the priority 'DD' to all addresses concerned by the previous Flight Plan; and (2) File a replacement Flight Plan in the form of a FPL, which shall be transmitted not less than 5 minutes after the CNL and not before the acknowledgement to the CNL message is received from IFPS. b. The replacement Flight Plan shall contain inter alias the original identification (call sign), the complete new route in Item 15 and, as the first element in Item 18 - the indication 'RFP/Qn', whereas: (1) RFP signifies "Replacement Flight Plan" (2) n corresponds to the sequence number relating to the replacement Flight Plan for that particular flight; e.g. 1st replacement Flight Plan: "RFP/Q1", 2nd replacement Flight Plan: "RFP/Q2" etc. c. In RTF communications, the pilot may inform an ATC Unit that the aircraft is operating on a replacement Flight Plan if any doubt exists regarding the route to be flown. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR ) CROSSING PORTUGAL AND SPAIN BOUNDARIES 1. In order for any flight to cross LISBOA/SANTA MARIA or LISBOA/MADRID affected boundaries in any direction, one of the following five letter name codes shall be included in the Flight Plan. Flights with routes out or between these points are not permitted. a. Five letter name codes along the LISBOA/SANTA MARIA boundary include: (1) ARMED (N42 30' W14 00') (2) BANAL (N42 00 W15 00 ) (3) DETOX (N41 00 W15 00) (4) ERPES (N40 00 W15 00 ) (5) GUNTI (N39 00 W15 00 ) (6) KOMUT (N38 00 W15 00 ) (7) LUTAK (N37 00 W15 00 ) (8) MANOX (N36 12 W15 23 ) (9) NAVIX (N35 31 W16 14 ) (10) IRKID (N33 55 W18 04 ) b. Five letter name codes along the LISBOA/MADRID boundary include: (1) RIPEL (N42 17 W10 49 ) (2) XERES (N42 01 W10 04 ) c. The five letter name code for a turning point south of SAGRES is: (1) SONAP (N36 30 W10 00 ) (SPEC/RAC 3-1-1) 2. East or westbound flights to cross the LISBOA FIR/UIR boundary south of SAGRES, the SONAP turning point shall additionally be included in the Flight Plan. 3. North or southbound flights along 10 W via ORTOP, must also include in their Flight Plan the SONAP turning point as well as XERES as the ENTERING/EXIT point. (SPEC/RAC ) ROUTE AND AREA RESTRICTIONS - 1. SSR REQUIREMENTS WITHIN LISBOA AND SANTA MARIA FIR/UIR

237 PORTUGAL a. Aircraft flying IFR in the Lisboa and Santa Maria FIR/UIR must be equipped with a transponder capable of interrogating on Modes A and C, and decoding up to 4096 codes. b. Aircraft flying VFR outside controlled airspace and equipped with a transponder, within SSR coverage, shall set the transponder on code c. Aircraft about to enter the Lisboa and Santa Maria FIR/UIR and having not received code setting instructions shall: (1) maintain the code assigned when proceeding from an area of SSR coverage; (2) set the transponder on Mode A, Code 2000 if proceeding from an area without SSR coverage. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR 1.6-2) d. Aircraft that are transponder equipped shall squawk 7000 when flying VFR outside controlled airspace and within SSR coverage. e. Aircraft about to enter Lisboa FIR/UIR that have not received code settings from ATC shall maintain the last assigned code or, if coming from an area without SSR coverage, Mode A, code (SPEC/RAC 1-2-3) 2. STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURE (SLOP) The Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) is now a Standard Operating Procedure throughout the North Atlantic (NAT) region. This procedure mitigates collision risk and wake turbulence encounters. Pilots conducting oceanic flight within the NAT Region with automatic offset programming capability are recommended to fly lateral offsets of either 1 or 2 NM of center line. NOTE: the capability of aircraft to navigate to such a high level of accuracy has led to a situation where aircraft on the same track but at different levels, are increasingly likely to be in lateral overlap. This results in an increased risk of collision if an aircraft departs from its cleared level for any reason. SLOP reduces risks by distributing aircraft laterally. It is applicable within the New York Oceanic, Gander Oceanic, Shanwick Oceanic, Santa Maria Oceanic, Sondrestrom and Reykjavik Flight Information Regions, and within the Bodo Oceanic Flight Information Region where flights are operated more than 100NM seaward from the shoreline. SLOP conforms to direction in the ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management (PANS-ATM, Doc 4444, ) and is subject to the following guidelines: a. Aircraft without automatic offset programming capability must fly the route center line. b. Operators capable of programming automatic offset may fly the center line or offset 1 or 2 NM right of center line, allowing for 3 possible positions along the route. Offsets are not to exceed 2NM right of center line and offsets to the left of center line are not permitted. An aircraft overtaking another aircraft should offset within the confines of this procedure, if capable, so as to create the least amount of wake turbulence for the aircraft being overtaken. The pilot should take into account wind and estimated wake vortex drift and time to descend (normal descent rates for wakes are fpm). c. Pilots should use whatever means are available (e.g. TCAS, communications, visual acquisition) to determine the best flight path to fly. Pilots may contact other aircraft on frequency Mhz, as necessary, to coordinate the best wake turbulence offset position. d. Pilots may apply an offset outbound after the Oceanic Entry Point and must return to center line before the Oceanic Exit Point. Position reports transmitted via voice should be based on waypoints of the current ATC clearance and not the offset positions. e. Aircraft transiting Oceanic Surveillance Areas may remain on their established offset positions. There is no ATC clearance required for this procedure, and it is not necessary that ATC be advised. (SPEC/CIV AIP ENR 1.1-5) SUPPLEMENTARY AIRPORT INFORMATION Lajes (LPLA) 1. CAUTION - a. BIRD ALERT - Numerous birds on and in the vicinity of airfield throughout the year. Expect activity during inclement weather. Gulls, pigeons and doves account for 90% of bird strikes. Sparrows, starlings, and terns are also on and around the airfield. Bird Watch Condition Codes are: (1) LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield with a low probability of hazard. (2) MODERATE - Concentrations of birds observable in locations, which represent a probable hazard to safe flying operations. This advisory requires all agencies to exercise increased vigilance and aircrews to exercise extreme caution. (3) SEVERE - Heavy concentration of birds on or immediately above the active runway or other specific locations that represent an immediate hazard to safe flying operations. Aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission need before operating in areas under condition SEVERE. b. The following direction is provided to aircrew operating in the Lajes terminal area based on existing bird watch condition code: (1) LOW: Continue with normal operation procedure. (2) MODERATE: Comply with owning MAJCOM/Unit Guidance. (3) SEVERE: Comply with owning MAJCOM/Unit Guidance. c. BALING - Expect increased grass height during summer months (1 June-1 September) due to host nation baling operations. (SPEC/65 OSS-OSAA/USAF FIL ) 2. RUNWAY SKIDDING/HYDROPLANING - a. The Runway 15/33 surface combined with a light rubber accumulation produces a low friction pavement surface. The potential for skidding/hydroplaning exists when the runway is wet, flooded, damp, or when water patches are present. The potential is increased at the Runway 33 touchdown area. b. Runway friction levels fall below maintenance planning guidelines for the runway surface.

238 3-170 PORTUGAL c. Runway may pond or hold excess water during periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. Therefore, pilots should exercise extreme caution when landing. Maintain adequate tire tread depth to minimize possible skidding/hydroplaning. (SPEC/USAF FIL ) 3. LAJES AIRCRAFT TAXI AND RAMP RESTRICTIONS - a.

NORTH ATLANTIC HIGH LEVEL AIRSPACE SPECIFICATIONS (NAT HLA) The airspace within the Santa Maria FIR between FL290 and FL410 inclusive, as described in ENR 2.1 is NAT HLA coincident with Santa Maria's RVSM Airspace. Any flight intending to fly across the Santa Maria FIR between FL290 and FL410 inclusive must have State Approval for both NAT HLA MNPS and RVSM. a. NAT HLA MNPS/RVSM State Approvals are mandatory. An ATC clearance by itself does not constitute approval to enter NAT HLA/RVSM Airspace. b. The pilot of the aircraft must advise Santa Maria OAC on initial contact of any in-flight deterioration in navigation capability. Also, if any deterioration in navigation capability occurs within the Santa Maria FIR, the pilot must advise Santa Maria OAC immediately. c. In accordance with the MNPS to PBN transition plan for the ICAO North Atlantic Region, with effect from 4 Feb 2016, the airspace formerly known as the "North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Specifications Airspace (MNPSA), was designated as the "North Atlantic High Level Airspace" (NAT HLA). d. ICAO Annex 6 allows for a "minimum navigation performance specification" to be regionally specified in Regional Supplementary Procedures DOC 7030, therefore, it has been determined to maintain reference to a "MNPS" in the NAT region within NAT DOC Thus, approvals initially issued to operate in the NAT MNPSA are referred to as "NAT MNPS" approvals, and approvals issued to operate in the NAT HLA are referred to as "NAT HLA MNPS" approvals. e. MNPS approvals granted before 4 Feb 2016 will continue to be valid for NAT HLA operations, however, those issued before 1 Jan 2015 and based on the "6.3NM" MNPS standard will no longer be accepted beyond January f. Traffic operating exclusively in airway UN741 (segment NELSO-ROSTA-NORED-EDUMO) is not subject to an Oceanic Clearance from Santa Maria OAC, thus no formal NAT HLA MNPS approval is required. g. More detailed information on NAT HLA and RVSM in the NAT region can be found in the NAT DOC.007 (North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual), available at (NAT Documents).

254 3-186 SPAIN FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE GENERAL PROCEDURES - 1. Area of Application The FRASAI airspace is located in the Northwest zone airspace of UIR Madrid (see ENR 2.1 and ENR 6). Free Route procedures are available H24 in FRASAI above FL245. FRASAI includes the airspace delegated by Lisboa ACC to Madrid ACC, where air traffic services are provided by Madrid ACC (see ENR 2.2). 2. Flight Procedures - General Within FRASAI airspace, operators will be able to plan their preferred paths using five-letter waypoint designators and/or radio navigation aids, and DCT instructions. FRASAI waypoints and en-route radio navigation aids are published in ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1 respectively. All available DCT segments are published in RAD Appendix 4. See the following website location for additional details: ( ex.html) Within FRASAI, airspace significant points and radio navigation aids are considered FRASAI Entry (E), Exit (X), Intermediate (I), Arrival (A), Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure (AD) points, as described in ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1 respectively. Traffic will be subject to the General Rules and Procedures (see ENR 1.1), equipment requirements, RAD utilization requirements, and Letters of Agreement between neighboring ACCs. 3. Overflying Traffic Overflying traffic should plan within FRASAI airspace from Entry point (E) to Intermediate point (I) or Exit point (X), and from Intermediate point (I) to Exit point (X) when necessary, in accordance with the FRASAI DCT availability list published in RAD Appendix 4. ways: a. Access to/from terminal areas within FRASAI (1) Arriving traffic should plan in one of the following (a) If the Arrival (A) or Arrival/Departure point (AD) of the aerodrome is the initial point of a STAR, then the route will start at the FRASAI Entry point (E) and will end at the Arrival (A) or Arrival/Departure (AD) point through the use of one or more of the allowed DCT segments. point) 1. E.g.: XXXXX (E) - DCT- ZZZZZ (A) (STAR initial 2. XXXXX (E) -DCT- YYYYY (I) - DCT ZZZZZ (AD) (STAR initial point) (b) If the Arrival (A) or Arrival/Departure point (AD) of the aerodrome is NOT the initial point of a STAR, then the route will start at the FRASAI Entry point (E), will proceed to the Arrival (A) or Arrival/Departure point (AD) through the use of one or more of the allowed DCT segments, and will end at the STAR initial point through the use of the corresponding lower airspace airway designator. In these cases, the Arrival (A) or Arrival/Departure (AD) point belongs to the FRASAI and to a lower airspace airway. 1. E.g.: XXXXX (E) - DCT- YYYYY (A) - AWY- ZZZZZ (STAR initial point) 2. XXXXX (E) - DCT - WWWWW (I) - DCT - YYYYY (A) - AWY - ZZZZZ (STAR initial point) ways: (2) Departing traffic should plan in one of the following (a) If the Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure point (AD) of the aerodrome is the final point of a SID, then the route will start at the Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure (AD) point and will end at the FRASAI Exit point (X) through the use of one or more of the allowed DCT segments. (X) DCT ZZZZZ (X) 1. E.g.: (SID final point) XXXXX (D) - DCT- ZZZZZ 2. (SID final point) XXXXX (D) - DCT - YYYYY (I) - (b) If the Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure point (AD) of the aerodrome is NOT the final point of a SID, then the route will start at the SID final point, and through the use of the corresponding lower airspace airway designator, will proceed to the Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure point (AD), and through the use of one or more of the allowed DCT segments, will end at the FRASAI Exit point (X). In these cases, the Departure (D) or Arrival/Departure (AD) point belongs to the FRASAI and to a lower airspace airway. 1. E.g.: (SID final point) XXXXX - AWY- YYYYY (D) - DCT - ZZZZZ (X) 2. (SID final point) XXXXX - AWY- YYYYY (D) - DCT - WWWWW (I) - DCT ZZZZZ (X) 4. Cross-Border Application Flight planning within the FRASAI area will comply with adjacent ATS route network, its orientation and FRASAI point definition. Flight plans with DCT keyword across the FRASAI borders (crossborder DCT) shall not be allowed. Entry and/or exit from FRASAI must be planned only over the entry and exit points published. Following IFPS procedures, a DCT segment, which starts in one ACC and ends in another ACC that does not belong to the same ANSP, is NOT permitted. 5. Airspace Reservation - Special Areas When not available for general air traffic operations, aircraft operators will plan their trajectory around segregated airspace (see ENR 1.9, ENR 5.1 and ENR 5.2), by using the relevant DCTs published in RAD Appendix 4 for this purpose. Occasionally, tactical radar vectoring might be applied in order to ensure an additional safety margin between published segregated airspace boundaries and aircraft paths. In the case where there is no availability to cross segregated areas, the average flight extension to be considered by aircraft operators is approximately 5 NM, or in exceptional situations, up to 15 NM. 6. Route Network in FRASAI There is no route network within FRASAI. The existing routes have been withdrawn and replaced by DCT segments, as published in RAD Appendix Speed and Level Changes For speed and level changes inside FRASAI, under FPL Item 15, a significant point and/or radio navigation aid may be used. Coordinates are not accepted. 8. Flight Level Orientation

259 SUPPLEMENTARY AIRPORT INFORMATION Moron AB (LEMO) 1. CAUTION a. BIRD ALERT - The Donana Wildlife Refuge is approximately 20 NM west of Moron AB along the Quadalquivir River. This refuge contains both migratory and non-migratory birds of almost every species. The preserve is bounded by LER-25. Flight below 6000 feet in this area is prohibited. Bird strike potential around Moron AB could increase during seeding and harvest seasons. Several species of birds inhabit the area create a high potential of aircraft strikes occurring; of particular concern are the storks, hawks and waterfowl. Expect increased bird activity during Phase II (1 January - 28 February). Phase I (low activity) is active the remainder of the year. (496 ABS-OSAM/496 ABS-OSAM FIL ) Bird Watch Condition Codes are: (1) LOW - Normal bird activity on and above the airfield with low probability of hazard. (2) MODERATE - Concentration of birds observable in locations which represent a probable hazard to safe flying operations. This condition requires increased vigilance by all agencies and extreme caution by aircrews. (3) SEVERE - Heavy concentration of birds on or immediately above the active runway or other specific locations that represent an immediate hazard to safe flying operations. Aircrews must thoroughly evaluate mission need before conducting operations or operating in areas under SEVERE. b. The following direction is provided to aircrews operating in the Moron AB terminal area based on existing bird watch condition codes: (1) LOW - Continue with normal operations. (2) MODERATE - Touch and go/low approaches will be limited to the minimum number required for specific training only. Pilots will be particularly cognizant of bird activity when on final approach and will initiate a go around, immediately, if a bird strike is imminent. (3) SEVERE - Only full stop landings are permitted. The decision to divert, hold or delay will rest with the commander based upon the Standard Operating Procedure for the particular aircraft, and the 496 ABS/CC instruction. NOTE: More restricted measures may be in effect if implemented by the 496 ABS/CC or by the deployed squadron commander. NOTE: Due to an increase in bird activity +/- 1 hour of sunrise/sunset, Moron AB will declare bird watch condition moderate for all DoD aircraft. (496 ABS-OSAM/496 ABS-OSAM FIL ) 2. TAXI RESTRICTIONS a. DoD heavy aircraft are restricted from making a right turn on to the runway from Taxiway Charlie or left turn on to Taxiway Charlie from the runway. b. DoD heavy aircraft are restricted from making a left turn on to the runway from Taxiway Bravo or right turn on to Taxiway Bravo from the runway. SPAIN c. DoD aircraft prohibited on Taxiways C1, C2 (except for approved engine runs), C3, C4, C5, and C6. (496 ABS-OSAM/496 ABS-OSAM FIL ) 3. NOISE ABATEMENT a. Aircraft departing RWY 02 shall fly heading 009. Upon reaching 3000 or at 6NM, resume the departure procedure or follow ATC instructions. When departing RWY 20 aircraft shall fly a heading of 219. When reaching 3000 or 6NM, resume the departure procedure or follow ATC instructions. 4. AIRFIELD RESTRICTIONS a. Moron AB USAF fire department is designated as NFPA Cat 8, and operates at the Reduced Level of Service for C5, E4, KC- 10, VC-25 aircraft; will be supplemented by Spanish AF. (496 ABS-OSAA/496 ABS-OSAA FIL ) FLIGHT HAZARDS HIGH MIDAIR COLLISION POTENTIAL AREA - 1. TORREJON (LETO) - CAUTION due to the close proximity of Barajas Intl Airport (LEMD). Most critical are Runway 23 departure routing and Runway 5 arrivals. Aircraft circling to Runway 5 are required to turn a base leg that remains within 1.5 NM of the threshold. The circling technical standard for Category D aircraft is 2.3 NM from threshold. Aircraft unable to meet the 1.5 NM base leg turn must advise Approach Control/GCA on initial contact. Follow-up your request with the Control Tower and expect Approval/disapproval based on Barajas Intl Airport (LEMD) Runway 33 final approach traffic. Follow ATC departure and routing instructions explicitly. 2. ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS - Weather conditions, especially during winter months and in thunderstorm areas, are unpredictable. Environmental conditions are such that unforecasted and unexpected weather phenomena can close any of the bases in a matter of minutes. Torrejon (LETO) and Zaragoza (LEZG) are suitable alternate airports for each other as are Rota (LERT) and Morón (LEMO) during published airfield hours of operation. Refer to FLIP Enroute Supplement for operational times and telephone numbers. 3. UHF air to ground communication is limited in some areas and aircrews cannot expect to always receive pertinent weather and airport information in a timely manner. The communication problem also affects ATC information. Changes to the ETA are sometimes not received. This, coupled with deteriorating weather conditions, may result in ATC delays. (USAFE ATCLO MORON/USAF FIL 01-85) ENROUTE The Spanish government does not allow aircraft with armaments and nuclear material to overfly Spanish territory. (SPEC/GEN 1.2-2) GENERAL CDR INFORMATION 1. Conditional Routes (CDRs) are non-permanent ATS routes or portions thereof, which can be planned and used only under certain specified conditions within the periods of time published in the description of the Conditional Route.

260 3-192 SPAIN 2. Each CDR is associated with an alternative route. The exception arises when an ATS route condition affects exclusively the specific block of flight levels and others are considered normal. CDRs are divided into three categories according to their foreseen availability in flight plans: a. CDR 1 These are established at strategic phase (Level 1). They are permanently plannable, that is, a CDR1 could be included in flight plans (RPL and FPL). Any foreseen periods of nonavailability of a CDR1 are published daily in AUP and European AUP/UUP. The relevant RPL shall be cancelled for the flight concerned, and an individual FPL shall be submitted including in Item 15, the alternative route for the unavailable CDR1. In the event of an unavailability at short notice of a CDR1, flights will be instructed by ATC to use alternative routes in tactical phase. b. CDR 2 These are managed at pretactical phase (Level 2). They are non-permanently plannable. CDR2 can only be included in FPL according to the conditions published daily, the day before operations, through the European AUP/UUP. c. CDR 3 These are managed at a tactical phrase (Level 3). They are not plannable in flight plans. They are only used subject to ATC clearance, and after civil-military coordination. 3. CDRs cross Temporary Segregated Areas (TSA) or Manageable Danger and Restricted Areas. The periods of time during which those routes or segments are classified as CDR 2 or CDR 3 must match the periods of activity for the zones they cross. A single segment of an ATS route can be Conditional 1, 2 or 3 at different periods of time. (SPEC CIV/AIP ENR ) WEEKEND/SEASONAL/CONDITIONAL (CDR) ROUTES: CONDITIONAL ROUTES are depicted on the ENAME Enroute charts with a blue diamond near the route designator.

However, the units listed under ATC control column will be able to advise pilots on activity status in appropriate (AARAs). Where Air-to-Air Refueling Areas conflict with Airways, Advisory Routes or Upper Air Routes, civil/military coordination procedures are applied to minimize disruption to the plan flight profiles or the aircraft concerned. (AFFSA/XOIA FIL 96-99) BIRD/WILDLIFE HAZARD DATA BIRD/WILDLIFE CONCENTRATIONS/AREAS - See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. 1. SPAIN/PORTUGAL a. The bird concentrations seem to be centered in the deltas of the large rivers as well as some coastal areas where, induced by thermal effects, high flight levels may be reached up to 5000 AGL. The greatest concentrations occur during winter time, because many Mid- European birds spend the winter in Spain and Portugal; only a few concentration areas exist throughout the year. b. Bird migration occurs on a broad front right across the peninsula, but some concentration of migrants may occur along the coastline where high flight levels may be reached. Notable among the larger birds are the cranes which enter the country from France; many winter in the southeast of the peninsula. There is also a prominent movement across the Straits by day of storks and raptors, especially black kites and honey buzzards. c. Generally the major migratory movements occur in good meteorological conditions with little cloud and with light or following winds, but long distance migrants may encounter unfavorable conditions in the course of a flight. In spring the sudden onset or resumption of cold weather may cause a temporary reversal of the general northward movements.

The major migratory movements of birds in Turkey is in spring and autumn. Birds that winter in southern countries start to enter Turkey from the south border. Those that have wintered in Turkey begin to leave Turkey for countries to the north. This migration starts in March, continues to increase during April and is finished at the end of May. Migration during summer is minimal. In the autumn, during the first week of October, they start moving from north to south and leave the southern borders of Turkey. The number of birds migrating in autumn is 2-3 times the birds migrating in spring. During the winter, there are migrations from north to south in December and from south to north in February. The migration heights differ according to species of birds. It is known that some of the singing birds reach an altitude of 23,000. (39 OSS/OSAB/39 OSS OSAB FIL )

Approach and Landing a. ATC will assume that an aircraft is using QFE on final approach when carrying out a radar approach and any heights passed by the radar controller will be related to QFE datum. A reminder of the assumed setting will be included in the RTF phraseology. To ensure the greatest possible degree of safety and uniformity, it is recommended that all pilots use QFE but, if the pilot advises that he is using QNH, heights will be amended as necessary and height will be substituted for altitude in the RTF phraseology. It should be noted that Obstacle Clearance Height is always given with reference to the aerodrome or threshold elevation. b. Vertical positioning of aircraft during approach will, below transition level, be controlled by reference to Altitudes and then to heights. The Transition Altitude is not normally given in the approach and landing clearance. NOTE: At USAF operated airports, QFE is not used. All procedures below the Transition Altitudes will be based on airport QNH, and all vertical displacements given as altitudes. Airport QFE will be available on request. (SPEC/ENR 1-7-3) 5. Outside Controlled Airspace At or below 3000 AMSL, pilots may use any desired setting. However, when flying in airspace below TCAs and CTAs, pilots should use the QNH of an adjacent airport when flying below the Transition Altitude. It may be assumed that for airports located beneath the Areas, the differences in the QNH values are insignificant. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1-7-2) VERTICAL SEPARATION - 1. GENERAL - In general, vertical separation standards and requirements within the UK are set in accordance with ICAO standards. 2. MAX RATE OF CLIMB/DESCENT (ROCD) IN UK CONTROLLED AIRSPACE a.

For the purposes of an airplane taking off from or approaching to land at an aerodrome within Class B, C, or D airspace, the visibility, if any, communicated to the PIC of an aircraft by ATC shall be taken to be the flight visibility for the time being. 5. The UK does not permit VFR flight in certain control zones which are Class A airspace. 6. VFR flight is permitted above FL200, except in certain areas notified in Class A airspace. 7. VFR flight by General Air Traffic is not permitted at or above FL290. VFR flight by Operational Air Traffic is permitted and will be provided with 2000 vertical separation. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-9) 8. SPECIAL VFR A flight made at any time in a control zone which is Class A airspace, or in any other control zone in IMC or at night must have been given permission by the appropriate ATC unit for Special VFR and must remain clear of clouds and in sight of the surface. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-5) a. Aircraft using the access lanes and local flying areas for Denham, White Waltham, and Fairoaks in the London Control Zone and any temporary Special Access Lanes which may be announced will be considered Special VFR flights. Separate requests should not be made nor will separate clearances be given. Separation between aircraft will be the responsibility of the pilot. (SPEC/ENR 1-2-1) NIGHT VFR FLIGHTS - VFR flight is not permitted at night. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-9) VFR FLIGHTS ABOVE CLOUD LAYERS - Aircraft must be clear of clouds and in sight of the surface. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-9) MINIMUM HEIGHTS FOR VFR OPERATIONS - In the UK, the differences from ICAO standard or recommended minimum heights in VFR are as follows: 1. Minimum heights over congested areas is There is no minimum height above the surface, but aircraft must maintain a minimum distance of 500 from persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures. NOTE: These minimum heights apply to all flights whether under VFR or IFR and in all meteorological conditions. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-9) CHANGE OF FLIGHT RULES FROM VFR TO IFR - 1. IFPS is the only source for distribution of IFR/General Air Traffic (GAT) flight plans and associated messages to ATSUs within the participating European States - the IFPS Zone. Although IFPS handles IFR flight plans, it will not process the VFR portions of any mixed VFR/IFR flight plan. Therefore, in order to ensure that all relevant ATSUs are included in the flight plan message distribution, pilots or Aircraft Operators should make certain that whenever a flight plan contains portions of the flight operated under VFR, in addition to the IFR, the FPL must be addressed to: a. IFPS (EGZYIFPS) b. Aerodrome of departure c. Aerodrome of destination and alternate; d. All FIRs that the flight will route through as VFR (in UK address to EGZYVFRP for Scottish FIRs and or EGZYVFRT for London FIR) e. Shanwick/Oceanic FIR to EGGXZOZX (for VFR); f. Any additional addresses specifically required by State or Aerodrome Authorities. (SPEC/ENR ) INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES FM IMMUNITY - From 1 Jan 2001: 1. Use of FM-immune ILS/VOR navigation and VHF communications receivers is required for IFR operations within the UK FIR. Performance standards for FM-immune receivers are specified in section and of ICAO Annex 10, Vol 1, and performance standards/requirement for carriage of such equipment in CAP 455, Airworthiness Notice, No 84. Reference the Publications page on the website 2. Improved performance of these receivers means that interference from licensed FM broadcast stations should no longer occur. Users of ILS/VOR navigation and VHF

281 UNITED KINGDOM communications receivers that do not comply with FM immunity standards may continue to suffer interference from FM broadcast stations (88 to 108 MHz band). NOTE: The CAA will no longer conduct assessments of the potential for interference to such receivers, nor promulgate areas where interference is likely to be suffered. (SPEC/GEN 4.4.3) MINIMUM SAFE HEIGHTS - 1. GENERAL a. The UK has no statutory requirements relating specifically to minimum IFR altitude when operating over high terrain or mountainous areas. b. The UK regulations require that an aircraft operating under IFR shall not fly at a height not less than 1000 above the highest fixed obstacle within a distance of 5 NM of the aircraft unless the aircraft is flying on a route so notified or is operating at or below 3000 AMSL and remains clear of clouds and in sight of the surface. (SPEC/GEN 1-7-9) NOTE: See QFE Altimeter Setting Procedures, DOD Enroute Supplement; ENAME. 2. ENROUTE OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE CRITERIA (IFR) the UK (whichever is higher), will use the figures defined in Table 1. If operating within controlled airspace, use Table 2. The altimeter shall be set to a pressure setting of hectopascals. Mag Track Cruise Level < 090º Odd thousands of feet 090º - 179º Odd thousands º - 269º Even thousands of feet 270º - 359º Even thousands Table 1. Cruise Level Mag Track <19,500 >19,500 < 180º 1000 and above at intervals of º - 359º 2000 and above at intervals of ,000 and above at intervals of ,000 and above at intervals of ,000 and above at intervals of 2000 to 40,000 43,000 and above at intervals of 4000 a. US criteria normally established 1000 standard obstruction clearance and 2000 clearance in mountainous terrain along an airway or from a feeder fix to the approach facility. Table 2. (SPEC/ENR 1-7-3) b. UK civil ATC rules on airways or advisory air routes provide 1500 obstruction clearance 15 NM either side of centerline. Off airways obstruction clearance provides 1500 above any fixed obstruction within 30 NM of aircraft. 3. DECISION HEIGHT (DH)/MINIMUM DESCENT ALTITUDE (MDA) - US aircrews use published DH and MDA. UK military pilots determine their own DH/Minimum Descent Height (MDH), based on instrument ratings. The UK military controller passes either the Obstruction Clearance Limit (OCL) or basic DH/MDH for the approach and request the pilot s DH or MDH for the approach and request the pilot s DH or MDH. The DH/MDH is announced to the pilot when he reaches it; thereafter, he receives only advisory information. US pilots landing at UK airports, not under the control of USAF, should ignore the Obstacle Clearance Limit (OCL) and provide the controller with the DoD published or MAJCOM established DH/MDA. 4. EMERGENCY SAFE ALTITUDE - US obstruction clearance criteria provides 1000 standard, 2000 mountainous terrain clearance within 100 NM of the facility. RAF obstruction clearance is computed by adding 10% to the highest obstruction within 100 NM of the facility plus 1500 and rounded to the next highest 100 increment. ALTIMETER SETTING AND CRUISING LEVELS ON IFR FLIGHTS - See NATIONAL PROCEDURES ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES for exceptions from ICAO standards for altimeter settings. As for cruising levels, the UK adheres to ICAO standards with the following exceptions: 1. IFR flights operating in level cruising flight operating within an active TRA below 24,500, or outside controlled airspace above 3000 AMSL or above the appropriate transition altitude in CHANGE OF IFR TO VFR - 1. An aircraft electing to change the conduct of its flight from compliance with the instrument flight rules to compliance with the visual flight rules shall, if a flight plan was submitted, notify the appropriate air traffic services unit that the IFR flight is cancelled and communicate thereto the changes to be made to its current flight plan. 2. When an aircraft operating under the instrument flight rules is flown in or encounters visual meteorological conditions it shall not cancel its IFR flight unless it is anticipated, and intended, that the flight will be continued for a reasonable period of time in uninterrupted visual meteorological conditions. (SPEC/ENR 1-3-1) 3. If a pilot has begun a flight in controlled airspace under and IFR flight plan, he/she may cancel his/her flight plan and fly under VFR if in VMC. However, it must be stressed that a pilot cannot exercise this choice when operating a flight: a. In Class A airspace. b. Above FL195 in Class C airspace. c. Along an ATS route in Class C airspace. (SPEC/ENR ) FORMATION FLIGHTS - 1. Formation flights within CAS Formation flights are normally to fly as OAT and not GAT, however, when this is not possible/practicable, a formation may file as GAT. However, crews should be aware that this may lead to delay or re-routing.

282 3-214 UNITED KINGDOM 2. Separation Requirements Within a formation, the formation leader is responsible for separation between the units comprising the formation. This is known as Military Accepts Responsibility for Separation of Aircraft (MARSA). Formations are to be considered a single unit for separation purposes provided that: a. The formation elements are contained within one nautical mile both laterally and longitudinally and are the same level or altitude. At the controller s discretion, these limitations may be exceeded by 3 NM and/or 1000 vertically. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1-1-6) TRANSMISSION OF EXPECTED APPROACH TIMES - The pilot is responsible for ensuring that the airborne time of the flight is passed to the ATSU with whom the flight plan has been filed. The ATSU will ensure that the departure message, if required, is sent to the appropriate addresses. The pilot should try to arrange for a responsible person on the ground to telephone the airborne time to the ATSU/AFPEx Helpdesk, as passing it over the RTF may, due to controller workload, lead to a delay in sending a departure message. Failure to pass the airborne time will result in the flight plan remaining inactive; consequently, this could result in the destination aerodrome not being aware that alerting action should be taken. (SPEC/ENR ) REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMA (RVSM) RULES - RVSM is in effect in UK airspace. Noncompliant aircraft should plan flying FL290 or below. (USAFE/U3YA/USAF FIL 01-62) 1. Standard. OPERATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC GENERAL/COUNTRY - 1. These procedures are designed for military aircraft who file to fly as operational air traffic (OAT) over the UK and over the Continent. For flights originating in the UK, a flight plan will have been submitted for an OAT flight planned to over fly the Continent, or to land at an airport abroad. To enable the UK military Air Traffic Control Radar Unit (ATCRU) to arrange a coordinated transfer of control service to the appropriate continental ATC agency, pilots should inform the UK ATCRU controller of their intention to overfly FRANCE/BELGIUM/ DENMARK/NETHERLANDS as OAT as soon as possible after commencement of radar service, passing the following details: a. The UIR boundary crossing point; b. Flight level requested; c. ETA UIR boundary. 2. These details are required a minimum of 5 minutes before the boundary ETA for flights to FRANCE/BELGIUM/ NETHERLANDS and at least 100 NM from the UIR boundary for flights to DENMARK. (USAFE/A3YA/AFFSA) FILING FLIGHT PLANS - 1. Flight plans for flights conducted under OAT should be filed at least 15 minutes before departure. Flight plans for flights requiring en route service from LATCC (Mil) or ScATCC (Mil) are to be addressed to either EGWDZQZX (LATCC) or EGQQYCYX (ScATCC). 2. Military pre-note proforma messages (PNMs) may only be used for flights conducted entirely within UK FIRs and should be addressed only to EGWDZQZX EDDUS (LATCC/London Mil) or EGZYOATP EDDUS (ScATCC/Scottish Mil). PNMs will not be used for flights containing GAT portions or which leave UK airspace. 3. Flights flown as OAT, which do not require a flight plan but which potentially could require air traffic services from London Military or Scottish Military, are to be prenoted using the appropriate military PNM as outlined above. 4. For flight plans for VFR flights conducted in OAT which cross the UK overland boundary or UK FIR boundary are to be addressed to LATCC (Mil) ADNC. 5. Mixed OAT/GAT flight plans need to be addressed in accordance with requirements of both OAT and IFR/GAT flight plans and must include the address EGZIFPS. 6. Except where specific dispensation has been granted, either a full or abbreviated flight plan must be filed for the following: a. All OAT flights within Class A, C, or D airspace. b. All OAT flights conducted in accordance with IFR in Class E airspace. c. All OAT flights that will cross the UK overland boundary designated as: N59 10 W06 10 N59 40 W01 00 N56 20 W01 00 N52 45 E03 00 along the FIR boundary N49 10 W06 30 N51 50 W06 30 along the FIR boundary N55 20 W08 15 N57 55 W08 15 origin. (SPEC/MIL ENR ) 7. FLIGHT PLAN ENTRIES DD Form 1801 a. Base operations will enter appropriate UK FLIGHT PLAN ADDRESSES, enter the estimated elapsed time to the flow control point in item 18 based on proposed takeoff, obtain the flow regulation time when GAT via route subject to flow control regulation or the French acceptance message clearance number if OAT to France. When required, insure time/clearance number is obtained from the Base Operations prior to departure. b. For flights penetrating LJAO airspace: (1) Aircraft which enter LJAO airspace as OAT and then become GAT (or vice versa inbound from the Continent) are to include this data in Item 18 of the flight plan either as OAT/GAT (VHF) and point of change or as OAT/GAT (UHF) and point of change. For example: OAT/GAT (VHF) DVR OAT to Dover then becoming GAT on VHF. (2) Aircraft which enter LJAO as OAT: (a) Aircraft which enter LJAO as OAT are to include in Item 18 of the flight plan the category of flight with an estimated point and time of entry, the point to be expressed as a bearing and distance from the nearest airways designator. For example: OAT EST LJAO CLC 350 to 1045 Operational Air Traffic estimating Clacton 350 degrees 10 NM at 1045Z. (b) Aircraft are to include turning points within and exit points from LJAO airspace as expressed in (1) above. (USAF/A3YA/USAF FIL 01-63)

283 UNITED KINGDOM FLIGHT PLANNING GENERAL AIR TRAFFIC - 1. General Air Traffic (GAT) are flights which are conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and/or the National Civil Aviation Law. 2. Flight of general air traffic are normally performed on civil ATS routes/upper civil ATS routes and controlled by civil air traffic performance of ATC service. 3. UK Military Flying Regulations require advance notification and coordination of all unusual air activity. The National Air Traffic Services, Airspace Utilization Section, is the UK body charged with coordinating all such activity. They define unusual air activity as an airspace activity such as an air exercise, display or demonstration which, without prior coordination and notification, would be likely to affect the normal operations of other airspace users, and which possesses one or more of the following characteristics: a. A concentration of aircraft in time and/or space that is significantly greater than that for a normal day. b. ATC regulations cannot be observed. c. Rules of the air cannot be observed. d. Low level military flying on weekends or UK public holidays (42 days prior notification required for Ministry of Defense approval). e. USAFE bases conducting local exercises (Operational Readiness Inspections, maximum flying days, etc.) in UK airspace, that involve any of the above. 4. The military authority (For UK based, USAF units, wing level; for others Numbered Air Force) sponsoring the air activity is responsible for submitting the details of the proposed activity to USAFE-UK/A3 at least 30 days in advance (See USAFEI ), make submissions to: USAFE-UK/A3 RAF MILDENHALL UK, or to USAFE-UK.A3@us.af.mil, or call DSN (USAFE-UK/A3/USAF FIL ) 5. GAT FLIGHT PLANS - GENERAL a. The UK is a participating State in the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Procession System (IFPS). The IFPS is the sole source for distribution of IFR/GAT flight plan information to Air Traffic Service Units (ATSU) within the participating European States. b. IFPS will not handle VFR flight or OAT flights, however, it will process the GAT portion(s) of a mixed OAT/GAT flight plan and the IFR portion(s) of a VFR/IFR flight plan. c. Only 8.33 khz equipped aircraft will be allowed to operate in the ICAO EUR region above FL245 unless operating in accordance with published exemptions. All UK military aircraft operate under State exemption. UK military operators planning in the ICAO EUR above FL245 are to enter U in Field 10 and STS/ESM833 in Field 18 of their flight plan. (SPEC/MIL ENR ) d. For IFR/GAT flights overflying or wholly within the IFPS zone, address flight plans and associated messages to the 2 IFPU s. To further simplify AFTN addressing, a single collective address, EGZYIFPS, which covers both IFPUs has been established. (SPEC/ENR ) e. In addition to the IFPS messages, flight plans and messages relevant to Shanwick airspace must also be addressed to EGGXZOZX. (SPEC/ENR ) f. The address EGZIFPS must also be used for flights that begin as OAT and revert to GAT within UK airspace. (USAFE/A3YA/USAF FIL 02-43) g. A flight plan must be filed for the following GAT flights: (1) When all or part of the flight is to be made as a GAT in Class A airspace. (2) When all or part of the flight is to be made as GAT in any controlled airspace in IMC or at night, excluding Special VFR (SVFR). (3) When all or part of the flight is to be made as GAT in VMC if the flight is to be conducted under IFR. (4) When the flight is to take place wholly or partly within Class C-D controlled airspace, irrespective of weather conditions. (5) Any flight from an airport in the UK for which the destination is a civil airport more than 21 NM from the airport of departure and the max takeoff weight of the aircraft exceeds 12,567 lbs. (6) For all flights across the UK FIR boundary. (7) For any flight from Class F airspace, which will use Air Traffic Advisory Service. (SPEC/ENR ) 6. GAT PROCEDURES a. The flight is to be planned to join an upper ATS route before crossing the UK UIR boundary except when specified in the preferred reversion points listed below. Insert /GAT to indicate the point at which reversion to GAT is to take place; hence:...lnd/gat UR8... will indicate to IPFS that everything prior to LND was OAT. However, notwithstanding filed GAT reversion points, for tactical ATC purposes, flights may be handed to the appropriate UK civil control authority at an earlier stage.

284 3-216 UNITED KINGDOM b. Where the flight time between airport of departure and the upper ATS route joining point is 10 minutes or less, the airport of departure will obtain ATC joining clearance from the appropriate civil ATC authority BEFORE TAKEOFF. c. Where the flight time between airport of departure and the upper ATS route joining point is more than 10 minutes, it will normally be the responsibility of the aircraft pilot to obtain ATC clearance at least 10 minutes before ETA at the joining point by communicating on VHF R/T with the appropriate civil ATC authority. Where the upper ATS route joining point is within the airspace of the LJAO, ATC joining clearance will be issued on the in-use UHF R/T channel. In either case, pilots should inform the military RADAR controller on commencement of radar service of their intention to transfer to GAT, giving joining point, flight level and estimated joining time. London RADAR will obtain ATC joining clearances for all aircraft departing RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall. d. The military RADAR controller should be informed by the pilot when ATC clearance is obtained, confirming joining point, flight level, and time. e. The cleared joining fight level is to be reached at least 5 NM before the route joining point. f. When military RADAR service on UHF is terminated, inform the civil ATC authority. It is emphasized that the military RADAR will have full control responsibility until radar service is terminated approximately 5 NM before the route joining point. g. UHF/VHF equipped military aircraft inbound to the UK from the continent as GAT, must contact London ATCC on VHF. These aircraft may contact a military RADAR on UHF to advise their needs for service on leaving the ATS route, but may not deviate from the last clearance received until London ATCC has given approval. h. If any change of heading or flight level is required to conform with the ATC clearance, obtain approval of the military ATC radar unit controller BEFORE making the change. i. For aircraft which are required to operate as GAT over Europe, but are unable to communicate with London ATCC on VHF, UHF frequencies are available to make a coordinated entry into the European GAT route system. This service is extremely limited and is only available on certain sectors during periods when traffic density is light. 7. GAT/OAT UHF Only aircraft inbound to the UK from Europe, on upper ATS routes, should flight plan to the selected exit point as GAT and will normally be cleared to this point. Item 18 of the flight plan must include UHF only, GAT/OAT as well as LJAO entry point, ETA, and flight level. (SPEC/A3YA/AFFSA) FILING FLIGHT PLANS (DAY/NIGHT) - Shanwick Oceanic Control Area- 1.

In the event of R/T failure when crossing under radar control, the last assigned heading and flight level is to be maintained. b. PROCEDURAL CROSSING UNDER POSITIVE ATC CLEARANCE - A flight plan should be filed and clearance to cross must be obtained at least 10 minutes before the intended crossing point. The request is to contain: (1) Identification and type (2) Position and heading (3) Level and flight conditions (4) Point of crossing (5) Desired crossing level (6) Estimated time of crossing c. IN EMERGENCY - When neither a radar nor a procedural crossing can be obtained, an airway may be crossed at an intermediate 500 feet level, i.e. levels of whole thousands of feet plus 500 feet. Aircraft flying at quadrantal levels of whole thousands of feet are in all cases to climb 500 feet before entering the airway, after crossing quadrantal levels must be resumed. The circumstances of such a crossing must be reported to the parent ATCC on landing. d. BASE FLIGHT LEVEL - Aircraft may without ATC clearance fly at 90 across the base of an airway where the lower limit is defined as a flight level. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1-1-2) 2. SHANWICK OCA CLEARANCES a. Aircraft entering Shanwick OCA from domestic airspace are required to obtain an Oceanic Clearance from Shanwick using one of the methods indicated In paragraph 3. b. A clearance issued by Shanwick is effective at the Shanwick OCA Boundary. Pilots must ensure that they comply with this clearance, especially that the flight crosses the Shanwick OCA Boundary at the flight level contained in the clearance issued by Shanwick. For flights entering Shanwick OCA from domestic airspace, It is the responsibility of the pilot to obtain from the appropriate ATC authority any necessary clearance or re-clearance to enable him to comply with the Oceanic Clearance or, when necessary, remain clear of Oceanic Airspace while awaiting Oceanic Clearance. c. Aircraft entering Shanwick OCA from an adjacent OCA will normally be cleared to landfall by the authority controlling the adjacent. d. The ATC approved MACH number will be included in all Oceanic Clearances given to jet aircraft. After leaving Oceanic Airspace aircraft should maintain their assigned MACH number in domestic airspace unless the appropriate ATC unit authorizes a change. e. All clearances issued by Shanwick are based on the aircraft estimate for the Oceanic Boundary, so it is essential that this estimate is correct. If the estimate for the Oceanic Boundary last reported to Shanwick is found to be in error by 3 minutes or more, flights must transmit a revised estimate to Shanwick as soon as possible. 3. ABBREVIATED CLEARANCES a. An abbreviated clearance is only issued when clearing an aircraft to fly along the whole length of an organized track. In all other circumstances full details of the cleared route will be given. b. A pilot-in-command shall, if at any time in doubt, request a detailed description of the cleared route from ATS. (SPEC/ENR ) 4. REQUESTS FOR OCEANIC CLEARANCE a. Westbound aircraft operating within the United Kingdom (UK) UIR/FIR and the northern part of the France UIR should request Oceanic Clearance from Shanwick Oceanic on VHF RTF. VHF coverage is contained within an area joined by the following points: N48 00 W RATSU (N61 00 W10 00 ) - N61 00 W N52 00 E N48 00 W N48 00 W An Oceanic Clearance should be requested when an accurate boundary estimate can be calculated, and submitted between 30 and 90 minutes prior to the Oceanic Boundary ETA. UK departures are to request clearance as soon as possible after departure. Aircraft overflying the UK UIR/FIR and the northern part of the France UIR are to request clearance when they consider that they are within the area specified above. Aircraft other than jet should request clearance at least 40 minutes before the ETA for the OCA entry point. b. Aircraft unable to contact Shanwick Oceanic on VHF should request clearance on a NARTEL HF frequency (North Atlantic en-route HF RTF Network) at least 40 minutes before the ETA for the Oceanic Boundary and thereafter maintain a SELCAL watch for receipt of the Oceanic Clearance. c. Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) equipped aircraft may request and receive their Westbound Oceanic clearance via datalink, utilizing the Oceanic Route Clearance Authorization system (ORCA), for entry points on the Shanwick eastern boundary (from ATSIX to PASAS), without the requirement to contact Shanwick on RTF. Approval for the use of this system will be given by the Team Leader Asset Engineering Ops Support at Shanwick Oceanic (Tel:+44(0) ). This system should not be used by aircraft within 30 minutes of the Shanwick boundary; VHF or HF RTF should be used. d. While in communication with Shanwick for Oceanic Clearance, aircraft must also maintain communication with the ATC authority for the airspace within which they are operating. Aircraft unable to contact Shanwick on VHF or on NARTEL HF should request the ATC authority for the airspace in which they are

287 UNITED KINGDOM operating to relay their request for Oceanic Clearance to Shanwick. e. Aircraft entering Shanwick directly from the Madrid FIR/UIR should operate the procedures in above subparagraphs b and d at least 40 minutes before the ETA for N f. Requests for Oceanic Clearance shall include: (1) Callsign (2) OCA entry point and ETA (3) requested MACH number and flight level (4) any change to flight plan affecting OCA (5) the highest acceptable flight level which can be maintained at the OCA entry point g. All clearances other than abbreviated clearances must be read back in full. (1) Entry Points are the boundary position between Shanwick OCA and domestic airspace. For example: for SOTA these are RODEL, SOMAX, KOGAD, BEDRA, OMOKO, TAMEL, or LASNO, and for NOTA these are VENER, RESNO, ETARI, PIKIL, BILTO, SUNOT, or AGORI. (SPEC/ENR ) 5. RADAR CORRIDORS a.

Special procedures apply. Pilots are to be conversant with relevant entries in UK Enoute Supplement (ERS) (BINA), SIDs, STARs and IAPs. 2. Except when flying in accordance with SVFR clearance, pilots must have a current instrument rating and the aircraft must be equipped for instrument flight. 3. If Northolt search radar is not available, all approaches are to be via airways, unless the cloudbase is 2000 or better and the visibility is 3 NM or better, when approaches to the visual circuit may be made under the control of London radar or under SVFR clearance. 4. When Runway 23 at Heathrow is in use for approaches, or Runway 05 at Heathrow is in use for departures, non-airways arrivals requiring an instrument approach to Runway 25 at Northolt are not permitted. If the cloudbase is 1200 or better and the visibility is 3 NM or better, radar monitored visual approach to Runway 25 may be made from the north and west, with the agreement of Heathrow APC, provided the following conditions are observed: a. The pilot must be familiar with Northolt airport. b. The aircraft must remain within 1.5 NM of the Northolt Airport boundary. c. The circuit must not be flown above 1000 (QNH). 5. Runway selection at Northolt is related to that at Heathrow. It may be necessary to operate with a tail wind component. 6. Denham Airport is 4 NM NW of Northolt, circuit altitude SVFR departures from Northolt runway remain clear of the Denham ATZ. 7. Moderate turbulence and wind shear may be experienced on the approach to Runway 25 when there is a strong northwesterly wind. 8. High traffic density in the local area may mean pilots using non-airways arrival/departure procedures are given a limited radar service in which standard separation may not be achieved. (SPEC/AD2-EGWU-1-3) FLIGHT HAZARDS ASCENTS OF CAPTIVE BALLOONS AND FREE FLYING SONDES - 1. RADIOSONDE BALLOONS - a. The Met Office releases helium or hydrogen filled balloons from a number of locations throughout the United Kingdom which are listed at ENR 5.3. These balloons carry a small radio transmitter which sends back atmospheric information about temperature, pressure and humidity; by way of a tracking system the balloons also provide data on wind speed and direction at various levels. Atypical installation consists of a balloon, diameter at launch approximately 1.5 meters, to which is attached a small parachute. The radiosonde is attached underneath the parachute on a suspension string of approximately 33 meters in length. The distance the balloons travel away from the launch site is dependent on the wind strength, but they can attain altitudes of over ft. b. Balloon launches from all other sites by organizations and members of the public require written permission from the CAA in accordance with the Air Navigation Order before releasing meteorological balloons into notified airspace. Article 163 specifies the requirements for notification and permission for the launch of balloons; such permission may be conditional. c. Radiosondes, minus the balloon, may also be air dropped; this activity will be promulgated by NOTAM. (SPEC/ENR ) 2. KITES a. High flying kites may be hazardous to aircraft because of the possibility of collision with the towline. It is known that kites are flown higher than 200 ft (60 m) agl at: (1) Graves Park, Sheffield, S Yorks - N W Up to 1200 ft AGL/1860 ft AMSL (Site elevation 660 ft AMSL). (SPEC/ENR ) 3. KEEVIL AIRPORT: a. In addition to its use as a glider site and free-fall parachuting drop zone, Keevil Aerodrome N W , is used extensively as a military dropping zone by Hercules aircraft engaged in parachute heavy supply dropping. This activity may take place at any time, day or night and pilots are advised to avoid the aerodrome by 2 NM laterally or 2000 ft vertically whenever possible. (SPEC/ENR ) HIGH INTENSITY RADIO TRANSMITTER AREAS - 1. Areas within which there is radio energy of an intensity which could cause interference with and, on rare occasions, cause damage to communications and navigation equipment such as radio Altimeter, VOR, ILS and Doppler are listed at ENR The intensity may be sufficient to detonate electrically initiated explosive devices carried or fitted in aircraft. Only the most significant sources are listed and in some of these areas the intensity of the radio energy may be such that it would be injurious to remain for more than one minute in the immediate vicinity of the energy source. This is especially relevant to helicopters operations and the list contains appropriate warnings; however, it would be prudent for helicopter pilots to avoid lingering closer than 100m to any radar aerial. Pilots approaching oil production on which dish aerials can be observed should, wherever possible, approach from a direction out of the general line-of-shoot of such aerials. (SPEC/ENR ) 2.

All deployments of B1, B2, B52, and/or F117 aircraft to the UK require the prior permission of the UK government which requires coordination a minimum of 30 days in advance of the event. Units planning to deploy any of these types of aircraft into the UK for any reason will contact USAFE-UK/A3, DSN , C or USAFE-UK.A3@us.af.mil to coordinate approval. Failure to obtain permission from the UK government will result in denial of the request. (USAFE-UK/A3/USAF FIL ) UNITED KINGDOM TERMINAL AREA PROCEDURES - 1. UK ILS PHRASEOLOGY - The following phraseology is to be used for radar vectored ILS approaches in the UK: a. ATC Instruction: (Callsign and vectoring instructions) followed by "when established on localizer, descend on ILS (QNH)" b. Pilot Response: (Readback vectoring instructions) followed by "when established on localizer, descend on ILS (QNH) (Callsign)" NOTE: Pilots must maintain the last assigned level until established on the ILS glideslope and must maintain the last assigned ATC speed restriction until this is amended. It is not subsequently necessary for pilots to report when descending on the ILS. 2. UK ILS PHRASEOLOGY EXCEPTIONS - Where a controller deems it necessary, for traffic separation purposes, to ensure that an aircraft joining the ILS does not commence descent until specifically cleared by the controller, the following alternative form of phraseology may be used. a. ATC Instruction: (Callsign and vectoring instructions) followed by "report established on localizer, maintain (level)" b. Pilot Response: (Readback vectoring instructions) followed by "report establishd on localizer, maintaining (level) (callsign)" followed by "Localizer established (callsign)". c. ATC Response: "(Callsign) descend on ILS (QNH)" d. Pilot Response: "(QNH) descend on ILS (callsign)" NOTE: Pilots must maintain the last assigned level until either a specific ATC clearance is received to descend to a lower level or, following a pilot report that the aircraft is localizer established, a specific clearance is given to descend following the ILS. Pilots must maintain the last assigned ATC speed restriction until this is amended. NOTE: Where specific CAA dispensation has been granted at certain UK aerodromes, QNH need not be included in this transmission when it has been passed at an earlier stage in the approach.

BIRD/WILDLIFE HAZARD DATA BIRD/WILDLIFE CONCENTRATION AREAS/ ROUTES - See Chapter 2, Section B, BIRD HAZARDS for Charts. 1. There are no well-defined heavily used bird migratory routes within United Kingdom airspace at any time of the year. Bird migration to and from the United Kingdom occurs largely in the autumn and winter on broad fronts in streams running E W and N S. The density of bird movements is greatest in SE England where these two fronts cross. Most migrating birds fly below 5000'. 2. As elsewhere in the world, offshore islands, headlands, cliffs, inland waters and shallow estuaries attract flocks of birds for breeding, roosting and feeding at various times of the year. Identification and Name Lateral Limits Upper Limit (ft) Lower Limit (ft) Within 20 NM or so of such locations concentrations of birds flying mostly below 1500' may be encountered. 3. In order to lessen the risk of bird strikes, pilots of low flying aircraft should, whenever possible, avoid flying at less than 1500' above surface level over areas where birds are likely to concentrate. Where it is necessary to fly lower than this, pilots should bear in mind that the risk of a bird strike increases with speed (it is a fact that birds rarely hit an object moving slower than 80 kt). Apart from endangering aircraft by flying close to bird colonies, the breeding of the birds may be upset and the practice should be avoided on conservation grounds. It should also be appreciated that, especially in the case of sea bird colonies, concentrations of birds may be soaring on lee waves downwind of the areas where they breed. 4. Pilots are specifically requested to avoid the Bird Sanctuaries listed below, especially during any stated breeding season: Remarks Isle of May A circle 1 nm radius centered on N W.

Air traffic services provided will be one of the following types depending on the status of the airspace within which the participating aircraft is flying: a. RADAR CONTROL - Applied in controlled airspace and the Mandatory Radar Service Area. Pilots are given mandatory instructions to enable the prescribed separation minima from other traffic to be maintained, together with essential details of conflicting traffic. No change of heading or flight level is to be made without the prior approval of the radar controller. b. DECONFLICTION SERVICE - A Deconfliction Service is a surveillance based ATS where, in addition to the provisions of a Basic Service, the controller provides specific surveillance derived traffic information and deconfliction advice. (1) A Deconfliction Service is available under IFR or VFR and in any meteorological conditions. The controller will expect the pilot to accept headings and/or altitude that may require flight in IMC. A pilot who is not qualified to fly in IMC will not request a Deconfliction Service unless compliance permits the flight to be continued in VMC. (2) A controller will provide traffic information, accompanied with a heading and/or altitude aimed at achieving a planned deconfliction minima. High controller workload or RTF loading may reduce the ability of the controller to pass such deconfliction advice: furthermore, unknown aircraft may make unpredictable or high-energy maneuvers. Consequently, controllers cannot guarantee to achieve these deconfliction minima: however, they will apply all reasonable endeavors. The avoidance of traffic is ultimately the pilot's responsibility. (3) The pilot will inform the controller if he elects not to act on the controller's advice, and: therefore accepts responsibility for aircraft avoidance. (4) A Deconfliction Service will only be provided to aircraft operation at or above a terrain safe altitude, unless on departure from airfield when climbing to a terrain safe altitude, or when following notified instrument approach procedures. If a controller detects a confliction when an aircraft is departing from an airfield and climbing to the terrain safe altitude or when following notified instrument approach procedures, traffic

308 3-240 UNITED KINGDOM information without deconfliction advice shall be passed. However, if the pilot requests deconfliction advice, or the controller considers that a definite risk of collision exists, the controller will immediately offer such advice. (5) Unless safety is likely to be compromised, a pilot will not change heading or altitude without first obtaining controller approval. c. TRAFFIC SERVICE - Traffic Service is a surveillance based ATS, where in addition to the provisions of a Basic Service, the controller provides specific surveillance derived traffic information to assist the pilot in avoiding traffic. (1) Traffic Service is available under IFR or VFR and in any meteorological conditions. If a controller issues a heading and/or altitude that would require flight in IMC, a pilot who is not qualified to fly in IMC will inform the controller and request alternative instructions. (2) The controller will pass traffic information on to relevant traffic and update the traffic information if it continues to constitute a definite hazard, or if requested by the pilot. However, high controller workload and RTF loading may reduce the ability of the controller to pass traffic information and the timeliness of such information. Whether traffic information has been passed or not, a pilot is expected to perform his collision avoidance responsibility without assistance from the controller. If after receiving traffic information, a pilot requires deconfliction advice, an upgrade to Deconfliction Service will be requested. (3) Subject to ATS surveillance system coverage, Traffic Service may be provided at any altitude and the pilot remains responsible for terrain clearance at all times. (4) A pilot may operate under his own navigation or a controller may provide headings and altitudes for the purpose of positioning, sequencing or as navigational assistance. If a heading or altitude is unacceptable to the pilot he will advise the controller immediately. Unless safety is likely to be compromised, a pilot will not change altitude, route, maneuvering area or deviate from an ATC heading without first advising and obtaining approval from the controller. d. PROCEDURAL SERVICE - A Procedural Service is a non surveillance ATS where in addition to the provisions of a Basic Service, the controller provides instructions, which if complied with, will achieve deconfliction minima against other aircraft participating in the Procedural Service. Neither traffic information nor deconfliction advice can be passed with respect to unknown traffic. (1) A Procedural Service is available under IFR or VFR and in any meteorological conditions. The controller will expect the pilot to accept altitudes, radials, tracks and time allocations that may require flight in IMC. A pilot who is not qualified to fly in IMC will not request a Procedural Service unless compliance permits the flight to be continued in VMC. (2) A Procedural Service is available at all altitudes and the pilot remains wholly responsible for terrain clearance at all times. (3) A controller will provide deconfliction instructions by allocating altitudes, radials, tracks and time restrictions, or use pilot position reports aimed at achieving a planned deconfliction minima. The pilot will inform the controller if he elects not to act on the controller's advice and therefore accepts responsibility for initiating any subsequent collision avoidance against the any aircraft. (4) The controller will provide traffic information on confliction aircraft being provided Basic Service and those where traffic information has been passed by another ATS unit; however, there is no requirement for deconfliction advice to be passed and the pilot is wholly responsible for collision avoidance. (5) Unless safety is likely to be compromised, a pilot will not change altitude, radial, track or time restriction without first obtaining approval from the controller. If an altitude, radial, track or time restriction is unacceptable to the pilot, he will advise the controller immediately. e. BASIC SERVICE - Basic Service provides advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights. This may include weather information, changes of serviceability of facilities, conditions at airfields, general airspace activity information and any other information likely to affect safety. The avoidance of other traffic is solely the pilot's responsibility. (1) Basic Service is available under IFR or VFR and in any meteorological conditions. (2) Pilots should not expect any form of traffic information from a controller/fiso and the pilot remains responsible for collision avoidance at all times. However, on initial contact the controller/fiso may provide traffic information in general terms to assist with the pilot's situational awareness. This will not normally by updated by the controller/fiso unless the situation has changed or the pilot requests an update. (3) Basic Service is available at all altitudes and the pilot remains responsible for terrain clearance at all times. (4) Unless the pilot has entered into an agreement with the controller to maintain a specific course of action, a pilot may change heading, route or altitude without advising the controller. A controller will not issue specific heading instructions; however, generic navigational assistance may be provided on request. f. SERVICE PRINCIPLES (1) Within Class G airspace, regardless of the service being provided, pilots are ultimately responsible for collision avoidance and terrain clearance and they should consider service provision to be constrained by the unpredictable nature of the environment. (2) A pilot will determine the appropriate service for the various phases and conditions of the flight and request the service from the controller/fiso. An Alerting Service will be provided in association with all services. (3) Controllers will make all reasonable endeavors to provide the service that a pilot requests. However, due to finite resources or controller workload, tactical priorities may influence service availability. FISOs are not licensed to provide Traffic Service, Deconfliction Service or Procedural service. (4) Instructions issued by the controllers/fisos to pilots operating outside controlled airspace are not mandatory; however, the services rely upon pilot compliance with specified terms and conditions so as to promote a safer operating environment for all airspace users. (5) Agreements can be established between a controller and a pilot such that the operation of an aircraft is laterally or vertically restricted beyond the core terms of the Basic Service or Traffic Service. Unless safety is likely to be compromised, a pilot will not deviate from an agreement without first advising and obtaining an approval from the controller.

309 UNITED KINGDOM (6) There may be circumstances that prevent controllers from passing timely traffic information and/or deconfliction advice, e.g. high workload, areas of high traffic density, against unknown aircraft conducting high energy maneuvers or when traffic is not displayed to the controller. Controllers will inform the pilot of known reductions in traffic information along with the reason and the probable duration; however, it may not always be possible to provide these warnings in a timely manner. (SPEC/MIL ENR 1-6-1,2) 2. REQUEST FOR RADAR SERVICES - Contact the appropriate ATC radar unit on it's initial contact frequency stating the type of service required. After initial contact, communication will be transferred to a radar controller and the information requested by DOD FLIP Enroute Supplement, radar assistance data, passed. Do not attempt to contact the ATC Radar unit on any other frequency unless instructed by another ATC unit of air defense agency. 3. SURVEILLANCE RADAR APPROACH - RAF ASR controllers issue recommended altitude on final for non-precision RADAR approaches. If recommended altitudes are not followed during the descent to MDA, the pilot must inform the controlling agency. Rate of descent should not exceed 1200 fpm (zero wind at 180 KIAS). RAF STANDARD WEATHER MESSAGE - 1. RAF ATC units will issue abbreviated or short weather to arriving aircraft upon request. The short weather includes the airport color state in lieu of ceiling and visibility. 2. Short weather format include: a. Airport and letter code b. Runway in use c. Surface wind and velocity d. Color state e. Altimeter setting f. Unserviceable aids/facilities (when relevant to type of approach requested) (RAF/RAF FIH) 3. AIRPORT AVAILABILITY/WEATHER STATE-COLOR CODES. (See DOD Enroute Supplement, ENAME, Weather/NOTAM Procedures). APPROACH AND DEPARTURE CONTROL SERVICE - USAF bases in the UK are situated in uncontrolled airspace. There is no legal requirement for pilots flying outside controlled airspace or an Airport Traffic Zone to file a flight plan or notify ATC of their presence. Consequently, positive separation from unreported aircraft cannot be guaranteed, and all departure and approach services should be regarded as advisory only. USAF radar controllers will provide unsolicited radar advisory service (see paragraph 4. below) to all aircraft under their control regardless of weather conditions. Avoidance vectors will be provided based on availability of maneuvering airspace and controller/equipment availability at the time. RAF controllers provide a radar advisory service during climb-out and recovery phases. (USAFE/A3YA/USAF FIL 01-63) ATC PROCEDURES UK/US - A review of RAF ATC procedures was conducted in comparison with FAA handbooks on terminal and enroute ATC procedures to identify differences in the two ATC systems that would be of significant interest to the US military pilot operating in UK airspace. They are as follows: 1. ENROUTE OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE CRITERIA (IFR) - US criteria normally established 1000 standard obstruction clearance and 2000 clearance in mountainous terrain along an airway or from a feeder fix to the approach facility. UK civil ATC rules provided on airways or advisory air routes 1500 obstruction clearance 15 NM either side of centerline. Off airways obstruction clearance provides 1500 above any fixed obstruction within 30 NM of aircraft. 2. DECISION HEIGHT (DH)/MINIMUM DESCENT ALTITUDE (MDA) - US aircrews use published DH and MDA. UK military pilots determine their own DH/Minimum Descent Height (MDH), based on instrument ratings. The UK military controller passes either the Obstruction Clearance Limit (OCL) or basic DH/MDH for the approach and request the pilot s DH or MDH. The DH/MDH is announced to the pilot when he reaches it; thereafter, he receives only advisory information. US pilots landing at UK airports, not under the control of USAF, should ignore the Obstacle Clearance Limit (OCL) and provide the controller with the DoD published or MAJCOM established DH/MDA. NOTE: See QFE Altimeter Setting Procedures, DOD Enroute Supplement; ENAME. 3. EMERGENCY SAFE ALTITUDE - US obstruction clearance criteria provides 1000 standard, 2000 mountainous terrain clearance within 100 NM of the facility. RAF obstruction clearance is computed by adding 10% to the highest obstruction within 100 NM of the facility plus 1500 and rounded to the next highest 100 increment. 4. PRECISION GLIDE PATH ANGLE - All USAF glide paths are preset. RAF PAR glide paths may permit either 3 (standard) or 2½ for certain types of fighter aircraft, e.g., Lighting. 5. NO-GYRO PROCEDURES - The RAF uses standard rate turns throughout entire recovery. USAF changes to ½ standard rate turns in final approach. 6. MINIMUM FUEL - The RAF does not use the term minimum fuel as a fuel state. At RAF airports, pilots must state fuel endurance in minutes and request priority recovery or declare a PAN as the situation warrants. 7. PHRASEOLOGY - A comparison of RAF and US pilot/controller phraseology identifies several cases where different terms are used for the same intended purpose. Although this list is not all inclusive, it identifies the more common terms.
