FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) - Hold-
ing Procedures”, Table IV-1-1, Holding Speeds.
Restricted AOM are to be applied by non-scheduled operators who have not been authorized for
normal AOM.
The following paragraphs comprise existing Indian provisions based on Civil Aviation Require-
ment (CAR) (Section 8, Series C, Part I) on All Weather Operations regarding the methods to
determine AOM.
Jeppesen published minimums are not below State minimums.
Approach Ban
An instrument approach shall not commenced if the reported RVR/VIS is below the applicable
minimum.
If, after commencing an instrument approach, the reported RVR/VIS falls below the applicable
minimum, the approach shall not be continued:
– below 1000ft above the aerodrome; or
– into the final approach segment.
Where the RVR is not available, RVR values may be derived by converting the reported visibility.
If, after entering the final approach segment or descending below 1000ft above the aerodrome
elevation, the reported RVR/VIS falls below the applicable minimum, the approach may be contin-
ued to DA/H or MDA/H.
The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed provi-
ded that the required visual reference is established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained.
The touchdown zone RVR is always controlling. If reported and relevant, the mid-point and stop-
end RVR are also controlling. The minimum RVR value for the mid-point is 125m or the RVR
required for the touchdown zone if less, and 50m for the stop-end. For aeroplanes equipped with
a stop-end (roll-out) guidance or control system, the minimum RVR value for the mid-point is 50m.
NOTE: “Relevant”, in this context, means that part of the runway used during the high speed
phase of the landing down to a speed of approximately 60kt.
Approach Lighting Systems
FALS (Full Approach Light System) — Precision approach CAT I lighting system (HIALS 720m
and more), distance coded centerline, barrette centerline.
IALS (Intermediate Approach Light System) — Simple approach lighting system (HIALS 420 –
719m), single source barrette.
BALS (Basic Approach Light System) — Any other approach lighting system (HIALS, MIALS or
ALS 210 – 419m).
NALS (No Approach Light System) — Any other approach lighting system (HIALS, MIALS, or
ALS less than 210m) or no approach lights.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 388
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Jeppesen will publish only RVR values, except where CMV or VIS values are published by the
State as part of the AOM.
Normal AOM
Normal AOM are for the use of scheduled operators and general aviation operators. An operator
shall establish, for each airport planned to be used, airport operating minimums. The method of
determination of such minimums must be approved by the DGCA and shall be consistent with the
provision of CAR and ICAO Doc 9365 (Manual of All Weather Operations). Such minimums shall
not be lower than any that may be established for such airports by the State of the airport, except
when specifically approved by the State of the airport.
Foreign operators are to be authorized by the State of the operator for the use of AOM. In no case
may they operate at Indian airports at less than the normal AOM.
The Jeppesen charted minimums on approach and airport charts are normal AOM.
CAT I Precision, APV and Non-precision Approaches
Decision Height (DH) and Minimum Descent Height (MDH)
NOTE: A lowest DH of 200ft for RNAV with approved vertical guidance approaches shall only be
used if full SBAS capability is available. Otherwise a DH of 250ft is required.
RVR
The minimum RVR shall be the highest of the values derived from Table 3 and Table 4, but not
greater than the maximum values shown in Table 4 where applicable.

touchdown zone lights and runway centerline lights when using an approved HUD.
CAT II Precision Approaches
Decision Height (DH)
The decision height must not be lower than:
– the minimum DH specified in the AFM; or
– the minimum height to which the precision approach aid can be used without the required
visual reference; or
– the OCH; or
– the DH to which the flight crew is authorized to operate; or
– 100ft
whichever is higher.
Circling Approach
Circling approach and associated minimums will be authorized for operators by Flight Standards
Directorate as per the training programme implemented by the operator.
Jeppesen charts will not contain circling minimums.
Visual Approach
For a visual approach, an operator shall use the higher of the associated non-precision approach
minimum or 2800m for CAT A & B, 3200m for CAT C and 3600m for CAT D aircraft. If visual
approach is requested for a runway which has only a circling approach, the ground visibility shall
not be less than 5km.
Take-off
Take-off minimums established by the operator must be expressed as VIS or RVR limits, taking
into account all relevant factors for each airport planned to be used and the aircraft characteris-
tics.
Where there is a specific need to see and avoid obstacles on departure, take-off minimums may
include cloud base limits.
Where avoidance of such obstacles may be accomplished by alternate procedural means, such
as use of climb gradients or specified departure paths, cloud base restrictions need not be
applied.
A take-off alternate aerodrome shall be selected and specified in the operational flight plan if
either the meteorological conditions at the aerodrome of departure are below the operator’s
established aerodrome landing minimums for that operation or if it would not be possible to return
to the aerodrome of departure for other reasons. The take-off alternate aerodrome should have
weather conditions and facilities suitable for landing the aeroplane in normal and non-normal con-
figurations pertinent to the operation. In addition, in the non-normal configuration the aeroplane
should be capable of climbing to, and maintaining, altitudes which provide suitable obstacle clear-
ance and navigation signals en route to a take-off alternate aerodrome. For an aerodrome to be

RULES AND PROCEDURES
selected as a take-off alternate the available information shall indicate that, at the estimated time
of use, the conditions will be at or above the operator’s established aerodrome operating mini-
mums for that operation, and in any case not lower than CAT I minimums. Any limitation related to
one-engine-inoperative operations shall be taken into account. The take-off alternate aerodrome
should be located within the following distances from the aerodrome of departure:
– aircraft with 2 engines: 1 hour of flight time at a one-engine inoperative cruising speed, deter-
mined from the AOM calculated in ISA and still-air conditions using the actual take-off mass; or
– aircraft with 3 or more engines: 2 hours of flight time at an all-engines operating cruising speed,
determined from the AOM, calculated in ISA and still-air conditions using the actual take-off
mass; or
– aircraft engaged in Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO): where an alternate aero-
drome meeting the distance criteria of the 2 paras above is not available, the first available
alternate aerodrome located within the distance of the operator’s approved maximum diversion
time considering the actual take-off mass.
Visual Reference
Take-off minimums must be determined to ensure sufficient guidance to control the aircraft in
case of discontinued take-off in adverse circumstances or during continued take-off after failure of
the critical power unit.
Required RVR/VIS
For multi-engine aircraft, whose performance is such that in the event of a critical power unit fail-
ure at any point during take-off the aircraft can either stop or continue the take-off to a height of
1500ft above the airport while clearing all obstacles by the required margins, the take-off mini-
mums established by an operator must be expressed as RVR/VIS values not lower than those in
Table 7 below.
Restricted AOM are not charted on Jeppesen approach and airport charts. Pilots are responsible
to add the 100ft/400m increment to the charted minimums.
SPEED RESTRICTION
Speed Control Procedures under Non-radar Environment
All aircraft (including arrivals and departures) operating below 10000ft to fly IAS not greater than
250kt.
All arriving aircraft operating below 10000ft within 15NM radius of VOR/DME serving the aero-
drome to fly IAS not greater than 220kt.
ATC may suspend speed control by using the phrase “No speed restriction”, when traffic condi-
tions permit.
Speed Control Procedures in the Provision of Radar Control Service
Purpose
In order to facilitate safe and orderly flow of arriving air traffic within terminal area under the sur-
veillance environment, aircraft shall follow the speed in specified manner as provided in table
“Speed Control under Radar Environment for Arriving Aircraft” at the airports where surveillance
based approach control services have been established.
Requirement of Speed Control
The speed control is applied for ATC separation purposes and is mandatory in the interest of
acquiring accurate spacing.
Speed control is also necessary to achieve the desired separation minimum or spacing between
the successive arrivals. This in turn would improve the utilization of airspace and enhance the
runway capacity to handle more number of aircraft.
The flight crew should be aware of the provisions specified in table “Speed Control under Radar
Environment for Arriving Aircraft” and plan the aircraft speed accordingly.
Adherence to Speed Control Procedure
All the speed restrictions shall be complied with as promptly as feasible and flown as accurately
as possible within the limits of operational constraints.
Aircraft unable to comply with the specified speeds must inform ATC and report minimum speed it
is able to follow. In such cases controller shall apply the alternative method to achieve the desired
spacing between aircraft concerned.
The speeds specified in table “Speed Control under Radar Environment for Arriving Aircraft” are
within the limits of turboprops and turbojets aircraft performance based on the ICAO recommen-
dations and best international practices and therefore should be acceptable. However it is the
pilot’s responsibility and prerogative to refuse speed restrictions that are considered excessive or
contrary to the aircraft operating specifications.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 398
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
g. Speed adjustments requiring alternate decrease and increase shall be avoided particularly
after the aircraft has reduced the speed below 210kt. In such cases the Phraseology, “No
ATC speed restriction”, or “Resume normal speed” shall only be used.
NOTE: Subject to aircraft performance limitations a radar controller may assign a specific speed
to the aircraft in order to maintain/achieve required spacing.

Co-ordination with the Central Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (CATFMU)
A permanent and fully automatic data exchange with the ATFMU will be established. The data
transfer will enable highly accurate early predictions of landing and departure times.
Start-up/Push-back Procedures
Pre-Departure sequence is the order, in which the ATC plans the aircraft to depart from their
Gate/Stands. It should not be confused with the Pre-Take-off sequence where ATC decides on
the order in which the aircraft at holding points of the runway will depart.
Start-Up and Push-Back Procedure:
– The pilot will contact Clearance Delivery (CLD)/Surface Movement Control Unit (GROUND) to
request en-route clearance and SID between TSAT -15 minutes to TSAT -5 minutes. Blue
Zone.
– The aircraft must be ready to Start-up/Push-back at TOBT and request SMC (GROUND) for
Start-up/Push-back at TSAT -5 minutes and TSAT +5 minutes. Green Zone.
NOTE: The system may prepone TSAT up to TOBT.
– In case for Schedule Flight, “Boarding” has not started at or before TSAT -5 minutes, allotted
TSAT will be cancelled and associated slot will be allocated to next eligible aircraft.
a. A new TOBT is required from Airlines Operator.
b. On receipt of new TOBT, the flight will be re-sequenced according to new TOBT and a
new TSAT with a subsequent delay will be issued.
– If at TSAT +5 minutes: Red Zone, ATC has not received Start-up/Pushback request, the aircraft
will lose its position in sequence.
a. A new TOBT is required from Airlines Operator.
b. On receipt of new TOBT, the flight will be re-sequenced according to new TOBT and a
new TSAT with a subsequent delay will be issued.
– ATC should normally be able to issue start-up/push-back at TSAT. Pilots will be informed by
ATC of any revised TSAT if there is a delay to TSAT in excess of 5 minutes.
– Taxi clearance must be requested within 5 minutes of Start-up/Pushback approval time.
NOTE: If this has not occurred, SMC (GROUND) must be notified of the extent of delay. In
such cases, aircraft may lose its departure slot and a new TOBT may be required in A-CDM,
AO shall be responsible to obtain new ADC number.
– The Pre-Departure (Off-block) Sequence will be determined in accordance with Target Start up
Approval Time (TSAT) and NOT in accordance with the Start-up Request. Pre-Departure
Sequence will not have any bearing on Actual Departure sequence.
NOTE: Actual Departure sequence may differ from pre-departure sequence in order to optimize
the Runway and Airspace utilization.

RULES AND PROCEDURES
FLIGHT PLANNING
Flight plans are required for all flights.
Scheduled international flights are permitted to flight plan using domestic ATS routes segments
to/from destination, departure and approved alternate airports in India which are not connected by
international ATS route.
To cross Bay of Bengal or Arabian Sea airspace in Indian FIRs, International Operators shall flight
plan one ATS route only.
Unless specifically permitted by the concerned ATS units, route change in Oceanic airspace of
Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata FIRs is not permitted. Flight plan change of ATS routes is permit-
ted over the Indian continental airspace only.
Flight Plan Message Addressing
All flights landing in India or transiting through Indian FIRs may use ZQZX, ZRZX and ZTZX for
addressing to the respective Flight Information Centre, Area Control Center & Aerodrome Control
Tower.
In addition, all such flight plans shall also be addressed to VIDPCTFM.
All Scheduled Flights equipped with Aircraft Communications Dressing And Reporting System
(ACARS) and compliant with AEEC 623 (Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee), operating
from Bengaluru (Kempegowda Intl), Chennai, Hyderabad (Rajiv Gandhi Intl), Kolkata (Netaji
Subash Chandra Bose Intl) and Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Intl) airports, are required to
include AFTN address "XXXXZTZD" in the FPL/CHANGE/DLA message Addresses, for DCL uti-
lization. XXXX is ICAO Location Indicator of departure aerodrome.
window (-5 to +10 minutes of the CTOT). ATC shall ensure that the departures comply with the
CTOT regulations so that excessive holdings and diversions are avoided.
When aircraft operators are unable to meet the departure slot window, they shall inform respec-
tive ATC unit with a revised EOBT. ATC or/and the local FMP will in turn inform the Central Com-
mand Center (CCC) about the revised EOBT and when possible will receive a revised CTOT to
be passed on to the aircraft.
Full details of the ATFM regulation process and procedures related to flight planning and C-ATFM
are published in the ATFM user’s manual section of the C-ATFM operations handbook.
Flight Planning in the context of ATFM
Flight plans shall be submitted at least 3 hours before the EOBT. The window for filing FPL is
between 3 hours and 120 hours (5 days) before the EOBT. Earlier filing of FPL will give a realistic
demand data to the CCC and hence the requirement of ATFM measures can be identified early
for better planning. Late filing of a flight plan will lead to inaccuracies in predicting the demand
and may lead to a delay.
All flights departing, arriving or overflying India subject to a change in an EOBT of more than 15
minutes shall notify the change to the C-ATFM system through AFTN message. All ATS mes-
sages such as FPL, CNL, DLA, CHG shall be also addressed to VIDPCTFM.
Flights Exempted From ATFM Measure
The following flights are exempted from the ATFM measures:
a. Flights experiencing an emergency, including aircraft subjected to unlawful interference;
b. Flights in search and rescue or fire-fighting missions;
c. Urgent medical evacuation flights specifically declared by medical authorities where flight
delays would put the life of the patients at risk;
d. Flights with “Head of State” status;
e. Military aircraft; and
f. Other flights specifically identified by appropriate authorities.
Modification of EOBT
In order to comply with a CTOT, aircraft operators should plan its off-block time consistent with
the CTOT, taking into account the taxi time.
Any change to the EOBT previously filed FPL or fortnightly flight data submitted (to CCC) shall be
communicated to ATFM by appropriate ATS message.
If the original EOBT can no longer be met, then the aircraft operator shall communicate the new
EOBT by use of a DLA or CHG message. When an aircraft operator submits an amendment mes-
sage to ATC and ATFM, they must always give an EOBT which indicates the time the aircraft
operator wants to be off-blocks.
The procedure to be followed to modify the EOBT is as follows:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 408
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
a. To amend the EOBT to a later time, a DLA or CHG message shall be sent to ATC and C-
ATFM;
b. To amend the EOBT to an earlier time, a CNL message must be sent to ATC and C-ATFM
which cancels the earlier FPL. It shall be followed 5 minutes later by a new flight plan with
new EOBT indicated.
Whenever the EOBT of a flight is changed sufficiently in advance, the SKYFLOW system may
allocate a revised CTOT. In any case, the CTOT of the flight will always be later than the new
EOBT plus the taxi-time.
However, if the EOBT is revised closer to the actual time of operations, ATFM system will not be
in a position to issue a revised CTOT. In this case the flight is treated on its merits and may be
subjected to tactical ATC delay in coordination with FMP/CCC.
Responsibilities of Aircraft Operators
Aircraft operators shall:
a. ensure that the latest schedule information and flight planning information are supplied to
CCC;
b. provide flight details in respect of domestic scheduled operation every fortnight in a timely
manner i.e. for the first fortnight (1st to 15th) by 25th of the previous month and for second
fortnight (16th to last day of the month) by 10th of the same month;
c. when applicable, ensure timely submission of flight plan and other associated AFTN mes-
sages to C-ATFM;
d. ensure that the details given in the flight plan are consistent with that of the approved flight
schedules and flight data submitted to CCC every fortnight;
e. monitor ATFM Daily Plan (ADP);
f. participate in CDM for effective implementation of ATFM;
g. ensure ATFM information such as ATFM measures (CTOT, CTO) is distributed to each
affected flight;
h. comply with ATFM measures (CTOT/CTO/CLDT);
i. comply with the provisions of filing of flight plans and for amending of EOBT; and
j. participate in post-operations analysis.

CONDITIONAL ROUTES
Conditional Routes (CDR) are defined as follows:
a. Use of CDR1:
CDR1 are plannable as permanent ATS routes.
Any CDR1 closure which requires re-filing of flight plan is published through NOTAM at least
7 days in advance. For safety reasons, closure of CDR1 is also published in AUP/UUP. In
such case, any flight plan which uses the CDR1 portion during the affected period is to be
cancelled or changed.
In the unlikely event of a short notice non-availability of a CDR1, flights will be instructed by
ATC to use alternative routes. Operators should consider the implications of the possible use
of the alternate ATS routes published for each CDR1.
b. Use of CDR2:
Flights on CDR2 can only be planned when the CDRs are made available through AUP/
UUP. In this respect, the UUP could also notify the closure of CDR2 declared available in
AUP and/or previous UUPs. The closure is notified by deleting the (available) CDR2 from the
previous AUP/UUP. AOs should also refer to the NOTAMs and ATFM Daily Plan (ADP) for
additional information regarding the specific utilization of available CDR2.
Whenever an operator wishes to take advantage of particular available CDR2 or is required
by the Civil ATS unit to use particular CDR2, an individual flight plan should be submitted. It
should contain in Item 15 the available CDR2 to be followed. Under these circumstances,
any associated RPL shall be cancelled or changed.

DISINSECTION REQUIREMENTS
No public health measures are required to be carried out in respect of aircraft entering the United
Arab Emirates.
On successful registration each operator will be assigned a unique number prefixed with “GCAP”
e.g. GCAPXYZ0117.
This registration number shall be included in Item 18 of the flight plan under the designator RMK /.
Registration is valid for two year. The operator is responsible to apply for renewal latest one
month, before the expiry of registration.
The GCAP registration number to be entered in Item 18 of the flight plan should be the number
given to the AOC holder of the aircraft regardless of the airline flight number.
In case of chartered or wet‐leased aircraft, the GCAP registration number of the aircraft AOC
holder for that particular flight shall be entered in Item 18 of the flight plan. In such situations the
flight number will reflect the identifier of the airline who has chartered or wet‐leased the aircraft
whereas the GCAP registration number in Item 18 of the flight plan will reflect the number of the
AOC holder of the aircraft being flown.
Operators with more than 300 flights in the previous year to and from airports located in the Emi-
rates FIR may be exempted by Foreign Operators Affairs from filling GCAP registration number in
Item 18 of the flight plan under the designator RMK /. Request for exemption should be sent by e-
mail to: gcap@gcaa.gov.ae
For queries or any additional information regarding registration, please contact
gcap@gcaa.gov.ae.
A landing permission or any other equivalent approval granted by the Airport or the Airport
Authority of an Emirate, does not mean that the aircraft meets the federal safety requirements for
operations within Emirates FIR. In accordance with CAR PART IV Foreign Operators Regulation,
all foreign operators operating flights (technical stops, state and private flights are excluded), must
register with the U.A.E. GCAA, and have a valid Foreign Operator Registration (FOR) code. Addi-
tionally, foreign operators shall also adhere with all other applicable requirements mentioned in
CAR PART IV.
