IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING JEPPESEN’S AIRWAY MANUAL AND VFR MANUAL
Effective February 12, 2021
This Notice may be modified by Boeing Digital Solutions, Inc., d/b/a Jeppesen (“Jeppesen”) in its
sole discretion. You should always review the most current version of the Notice each time you
use this manual and any revisions thereto (“Manual”) as it will be binding on you.
This Manual has been developed to provide current information in the condensed form required
for air navigation under instrument and/or visual flight conditions. Information contained in the
copyrighted charts is independently available from publications of the appropriate governing
authority and other third parties.
This Manual is designed for use by experienced pilots who must be thoroughly familiar and com-
petent with the navigation of aircraft. Airway Manual is for use by instrument-rated pilots and VFR
Manual is for use by pilots flying under visual flight rules. The user of this Manual should also be
thoroughly familiar with the introduction and legend materials which are contained in and/or avail-
able for this Manual.
Instrument and VFR procedures are designed, flight-tested, approved, authorized and prescribed
by applicable governing authorities. In the United States, instrument flight procedures are incorpo-
rated into FAR Part 97 as regulations. Jeppesen does not design or flight-check any of these pro-
cedures, and Jeppesen has no authority to alter, modify, add to, or subtract from any flight proce-
dure prescribed by a governing authority. Further, Jeppesen does not review or approve the ade-
quacy, reliability, accuracy, safety or conformance with government standards of any government
flight procedure, and it specifically has undertaken no such duty. Jeppesen’s flight procedure
charts simply depict in a graphic form convenient for the use of knowledgeable, instrument-rated
pilots, the flight procedures exactly as designed, flight-tested and prescribed by government
authorities.
In addition, this Manual contains a wide variety of information useful to pilots which Jeppesen has
obtained from many outside sources. Jeppesen has edited this source material, and has arranged
and published it in a convenient, easy-to-use format.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING JEPPESEN’S TRIP KIT
In the event this Manual was secured for one time use, without revision service, it will be consid-
ered a “trip kit”. The charts and pages in the trip kit are up-to-date at the time of issue but may
become obsolete within a short time. Trip kits should be used immediately and a new trip kit
should be purchased from Jeppesen for each subsequent trip. A trip kit is subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein.
IN THE INTEREST OF AIR SAFETY, JEPPESEN STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE

STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR ADIZ FLIGHTS

PROCEDURES WITHIN PACIFIC AREA


FLIGHT PLAN
Filing of Flight Plan
File flight plan 30 minutes prior to takeoff, either in writing or by telephone with appropriate aero-
nautical facility for any flight, all or part of which will be conducted in an ADIZ. Designate VFR
flight as DVFR, and include route and altitude while within ADIZ, and Estimated Time of penetra-
tion. DVFR flight will not be conducted off airways unless aircraft has both applicable authentica-
tion codes and IFF. No deviations shall be made from a DVFR flight plan, unless prior notification
is given to an appropriate aeronautical facility.
Revision of Flight Plan
Transmit corrected information to appropriate aeronautical facility immediately after it becomes
evident that flight plan cannot be adhered to. See ALLOWABLE TOLERANCES FOR ADHER-
ENCE TO FLIGHT PLAN OR AIR TRAFFIC CLEARANCE.

TRAFFIC CONFLICTS
Numerous aircraft operate within the Pacific theater without filing VFR or IFR Flight Plans. Air-
crews operating outside ATC radar coverage may lessen traffic conflict potential by utilizing Radar
Advisory Service from the nearest Radar station.

ALLOWABLE TOLERANCES FOR ADHERENCE TO FLIGHT PLAN OR AIR

ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 138
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

THE NOPAC ROUTE SYSTEM


a. GENERAL
NOPAC traffic flows are predictable due to consumer demand, time zone differences, winds
aloft and airport noise restrictions, Eastbound air traffic is heavy between 0700Z and 2100Z.
Westbound air traffic is heavy between 1200Z and 1900Z, and between 2200Z and 0700Z.
When the NOPAC Route System is selected as the preferred routing due to winds aloft,
route saturation can occur. The most critical altitudes are flight levels 310 through 390. The
lack of available preferred altitudes may necessitate destination decisions due to the vast
route lengths involved.
b. NOPAC SYSTEM
The NOPAC Route System is comprised of five (5) Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes which
transit the North Pacific between Alaska and Japan. The two (2) northern routes are used for
westbound traffic. The three (3) southern routes are used primarily for eastbound traffic
except that R591 or G344 may be used for westbound aircraft crossing the Fukuoka/Anchor-
age Flight Information Region (FIR) boundary between 0000Z and 0600Z.
c. ROUTES
R220: One-Way Westbound, Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL330, FL350, FL370,
FL390, FL410
R580: One-Way Westbound, Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL350, FL370
A590: One-Way Eastbound, Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340
R591: Two-Way; Odd Altitudes Eastbound, Even Altitudes FL300 to FL400 Westbound. Also
FL300, FL320 and FL340 available Eastbound when route is part of published Eastbound
PACOTS and FL350, FL370 and FL390 available Westbound when route is part of published
Westbound PACOTS.
G344: Two-Way, Odd Altitudes Eastbound, Even Altitudes FL300 to FL400 Westbound. Also
FL300, FL320 and FL340 available Eastbound when route is part of published Eastbound
PACOTS and FL350, FL370 and FL390 available Westbound when route is part of published
Westbound PACOTS.
NOTE: Radial/DME cross checks are available as follows:
for NATES on R220: SYA 329R/152DME
for ONEIL on R580: SYA 329R/102DME
for PINSO on A590: SYA 329R/052DME
for CHIPT on G344: SYA 148R/100DME
d. TRANSITION ROUTES
Within the Fukuoka FIR, Oceanic Transition Routes (OTRs) and, in one case, a Victor route,
have been established for aircraft transitioning to or from the NOPAC Route System. Within
the Anchorage FIR, certain ATS routes are used for the same purpose. These routes
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 139
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

include: G583, B757, R341, G469, A342, G215, R330, R336, R338, and G349 (For west-
bound use only).
e. NOPAC REROUTES
Aircraft cannot always be accommodated on their flight planned NOPAC route. In an effort to
reduce both coordination time and coordination errors, JCAB (Fukuoka ATMC) and FAA
(Anchorage ARTCC) have agreed on a common procedure to accommodate most reroutes.
Aircraft rerouted from one NOPAC ATC route to another NOPAC ATC route will be given
short range clearances into the adjoining FIR's RADAR coverage airspace. The receiving
ATC facility will then issue further routing to the aircraft prior to the aircraft reaching the
clearance limit. Example 1: aircraft ABC101 is routed via R220 to RJTT but can not be
accommodated on R220. The aircraft may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC101 cleared to
OATIS via R580, expect further clearance from ATMC after OMOTO.” Example 2: aircraft
ABC102 is routed via A590 to PAFA but can not be accommodated on A590. The aircraft
may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC102 cleared to SYA via R591, expect further routing from
Anchorage ARTCC after AKISU.”

FLIGHT PLANS AND PREFERRED ROUTES


a. Flight Plans
All operators planning IFR flight operations in the Anchorage Oceanic and Domestic Flight
Information Regions west of 165° west longitude and south of 63° north latitude must file
flight plans with both PAZAZQZX and PAZNZQZX. Failure to file with both system addresses
may result in delay of ATC services.
Aircraft shall enter “W” in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft and operator have
been approved for RVSM operations, in accordance with ICAO Doc 4444. Aircraft not
approved for RVSM operations shall not enter “W” in item 10.
Aircraft shall enter “R” in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft and operator have been
approved for RNP operations in accordance with ICAO Doc 4444 for the route of flight. Air-
craft not approved for RNP operations shall not enter “R” in item 10.
All aircraft flight planned to cross the Anchorage/Fukuoka FIR shall be established on a
NOPAC route prior to the FIR. Aircraft operating beneath the NOPAC (at or below 17,000
MSL may flight plan via random routes. To provide Control Centers with information on inten-
ded route of flight, all operators are requested to include the following data in the route defi-
nition portion of random flight plans involving flight in the Pacific Flight Information Regions
under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.
1. Coordinates of all turning points
2. Names, where applicable, or coordinates of points associated with transition from oce-
anic control areas to airways or areas where national procedures apply
3. Names of airways or descriptions of routes within such national airspace
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 140
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

4. Coordinates for each 5° or 10° of latitude, or for each 5° or 10° of longitude, depending
on the predominant direction of flight. 10° increments should only be used when the
speed of the aircraft is such that 10° will be traversed within 1 hour 20 minutes.
Operators in the NOPAC Route System are reminded that flight plans must be filed in
accordance with ICAO procedures and formats. This will allow for automatic flight data pro-
cessing at oceanic control centers and oceanic radio stations along the route.
Flights originating outside of Anchorage or Fukuoka regions and entering oceanic airspace
without intermediate stops should submit flight plans as early as possible.
In addition to the normal requirement of addressing the flight plan to all control centers en
route, associated oceanic radio stations should also be addressed. This will provide those
stations with information such as flight identification, SELCAL, aircraft registration, destina-
tion, and ETA, which is necessary to handle the traffic. A properly addressed flight plan, for-
mulated in accordance with ICAO standards, will be processed automatically by oceanic
centers.
When flight planning via transition tracks and/or ATS routes, list the point of entry, followed
by the route designator, and finally the point of exit, e.g., KATCH – B327 – NULUK – R220 –
NANAC.
To minimize flight crew and controller workload, information should be carried for routes
other than the one being flown. This material should include route data, reporting points, fuel
burn, winds aloft, time enroute, etc., for those routes compatible with the direction of flight.
Data for routes R591 and G344 should also be carried regardless of the direction of flight as
they are used for both eastbound and westbound traffic. Carrying this information will avoid
unnecessary delays in the event a route or flight level other than that filed in the original flight
plan is assigned by ATC. Readily available material will facilitate timely crew decisions as to
their preference of alternate routes or altitudes.
b. Preferred Routes
Anchorage ARTCC will periodically issue International NOTAMs specifying the preferential
routes to be flown within the Anchorage FIR. Each NOTAM will individually denote, during
specified time periods, either the westbound or eastbound tracks. Flights filed contrary to
these NOTAMs or preferred routes may expect reroutes, sequencing delays, and/or severe
altitude restrictions for same direction, crossing, or opposite direction traffic.
Aircraft must have RVSM and RNP 10 approval from the appropriate State authority to oper-
ate in the NOPAC between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.

WESTBOUND
a. Aircraft entering the NOPAC Route System may use:
1. R220 at all times utilizing even cardinal altitudes from FL180 to FL400 and FL330,
FL350, FL370, FL390, FL410 with the following guidelines:
(a) Flights departing PANC or PAED shall flight plan NODLE thence R220.

PACIFIC ORGANIZED TRACK SYSTEM (PACOTS) GUIDELINES


PACIFIC ORGANIZED TRACK SYSTEM (PACOTS)
To use airspace over Pacific Ocean, efficiently Pacific Organized Track System (PACOTS)
between Japan and North America/Hawaii, and between North America and Southeast Asia will
be established.
PACOTS consists of flexible track established on a daily basis between gateways of Japan and
gateways near North America West Coast/Hawaii and Oceanic Transition Routes (OTRs), etc.,
which connects to the flexible track.
ATS routes R220 (east of NANAC), R580, A590 (east of PUTER), R591, G344 may be assigned
as a PACOTS track. When operating on these ATS routes, NOPAC route system procedures
should be applied.
General Information
Geographical Boundary
PACOTS tracks may be established within the Fukuoka, Oakland, and Anchorage FIRs. The
northern perimeter in the Fukuoka FIR is ATS route R220.
Number of PACOTS Tracks
Oakland ARTCC or Air Traffic Management Center (ATMC) may develop more or fewer tracks
according to user needs, military activity, significant weather, or any other limitations. Basic
number of tracks is as follows.
a. Japan to North America: 4
b. Japan to Hawaii: 2
c. Southeast Asia to North America: 2
d. North America to Japan: 4
e. Hawaii to Japan: 2
f. North America to Southeast Asia: 4
City Pair Tracks Restrictions
When ATC has recognized a requirement for flight planning restrictions on a particular city pair,
these restrictions will be published by NOTAM.
Lateral Spacing of Tracks
Tracks are established at least 50 NM apart. They are usually defined using latitude/longitude,
ATS route, Oceanic Transition Route (OTR), or named fixes.
Flight Planning
PARTICIPATING AIRCRAFT
a. Aircraft may file via route notified in the daily NOTAM.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 144
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

b. Aircraft may file to leave or join an outer PACOTS track at any way point or reporting point.
When in leaving case, aircraft should file route that diverge, within 10 degrees of longitude,
at least 50 NM (100 NM for non-RNP10 aircraft) from the nearest PACOTS track. Flight level
assignment in joining case will be based on traffic.
NON-PARTICIPATING AIRCRAFT
a. Random routes are permitted, at FL280 and below, except for NOPAC route.
b. Routes that are at least 50 NM (100 NM for non-RNP10 aircraft) away from any PACOTS
tracks are permitted. In this case, altitude restrictions may be applied until lateral separation
exists between the route and any PACOTS tracks.
ATC Procedures
For flight planning and initial clearance, crossing between PACOTS tracks will not be permitted.
Once established in the PACOTS, track changes may be approved as traffic permits.
Aircraft should not expect climb into the PACOTS unless filed on a route corresponding to a
PACOTS track. In this case, climb into the PACOTS will be approved as traffic permits.
Certain restrictions may be placed for non-PACOTS and counter flying traffic.

PED AIRCRAFT

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES


a. Aircraft equipped with Mode C shall “squawk altimeter” when operating transponder on Mode
3/A.
b. After selection of the Mode/Code specified by ATC the transponder should be adjusted to
the “ON” (or normal operating) position as late as practicable prior to take-off and to “OFF” or
“STANDBY” as soon as practicable after completing the landing roll.
c. Select or reselect Modes/Codes only as directed by ATC, except in case of:
– unlawful interference
(hijacked) — squawk 7500*
– communication failure — squawk 7600*
– emergency — squawk 7700*
* Caution! Squawking of 75..; 76..; 77.. plus any third and fourth figures will also activate
alarm system at ground station.
d. Squawk 2000 when entering a FIR/UIR from an adjacent region where operation of a trans-
ponder has not been required or assigned.

STANDARD TRANSPONDER FAILURE PROCEDURES


a. After Departure
1. ATC units will endeavor to provide for flight to continue in accordance with flight plan.
2. After landing pilots shall make every effort to have transponder restored to normal oper-
ation.
b. Before Intended Departure
If transponder cannot be restored:
1. Inform ATC, preferably before filing flight plan.
2. Plan to fly by most direct route to nearest suitable airport where repair can be effected,
and
3. Insert appropriate code in item 10 of ICAO flight plan.
General compliance with and additions to the above standard operating procedures or standard
transponder failure procedures are as listed below.

PACIFIC
SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR-SSR

a. Except as indicated below, ATS will assign a temporary discrete code for each flight sector
for aircraft operating in controlled airspace, and for aircraft participating in Surveillance Infor-
mation Service (SIS).
b. Unless advised otherwise by ATC, pilots of Mode 3A or Mode S transponder equipped air-
craft operating in Australian airspace must activate their transponders, and where a Mode C
capability is also available it must be activated simultaneously with Mode 3A.
NOTE: Pilots must ensure that transponders and ADS–B transmitters are activated and the
altitude function is selected as:
a. Primary radar coverage only exists within 50 NM of major airports and the remainder of
the ATS surveillance system relies on SSR transponder and ADS–B transmitter infor-
mation, and
b. TCAS relies on transponder information for its pilot alerting and collision avoidance
functions.
c. When operating in Australian airspace, or on reaching the Australian FIR boundary if
inbound to Australia, pilots of Mode 3A transponder equipped aircraft must squawk the
assigned temporary discrete code for that flight sector, or if not assigned a temporary dis-

g. A pilot operating a Mode 3A/C transponder at a radar controlled aerodrome must:


1. On departure, leave the transponder selected to STANDBY until entering the departure
runway; and
2. On arrival, select the transponder to STANDBY or OFF as soon as practicable after
landing.
h. A pilot operating a Mode S transponder must:
1. Enter the aircraft’s identification that corresponds exactly to the Aircraft Identification
shown in Item 7 of the flight notification filed with air traffic control for the flight for those
aircraft that are capable of reporting Aircraft Identification. The ICAO defined format for
entry of the Aircraft Identification shall be used except that VH is not required for
domestic operations when not entered on flight plan. (e.g. VOX123, REX638, QFA737,
VHQFO, FDA...)
2. On receipt of ATC clearance, or requesting the earlier of Push Back or Taxi, select
TA/RA/XPDR/ON AUTO as applicable.
NOTE 1: If AUTO mode is not available Select ON (e.g. XPDR) and assigned Mode A
code.
NOTE 2: Australia does not require TA/RA to be de-selected while aircraft is on
ground.
3. When parked and shutting down engines, select STANDBY.
4. For Mode S equipped aircraft taxiing without flight plan, Mode A code 0100 should be
selected and the aircraft identification entered exactly as the callsign used in flight.
i. Pilots must select the transponder to STANDBY before effecting an SSR code change and
returning the transponder to ON/ALT.
NOTE: This action is required to prevent possible loss of displayed aircraft position/label
information and possible misidentification of aircraft in automated Australian ATC systems
due to temporary selection (while effecting the change) of a code already in use.
j. When acknowledging code setting instructions or changes to settings, the pilot must read
back the code to be set.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS OUTBOUND: INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS


a. Australia participates in an ICAO SSR code assignment plan for international aircraft which
requires a four digit code to be assigned by the appropriate ATC unit at the beginning of the
flight. The object of the plan is to ensure that, as far as is possible, international aircraft will
use one code from departure to destination.
b. To facilitate harmonization with the air traffic management systems used in the FIRs of adja-
cent ICAO States (other than the Mauritius FIR), ATC will allocate civil international flights a
discrete code from Australia’s ICAO international reservation for use from the time of the
their departure.

A system of routes has been established to guide pilots in planning their route of flight to
minimize route changes during the operational phase of flight, and to aid in the efficient
orderly management of air traffic. The routes which follow are designed to serve the needs
of airspace users and to provide for a systematic flow of air traffic in the major terminal
and enroute flight environments. Cooperation by all pilots will result in fewer traffic delays
and will better provide for efficient departure, enroute and arrival air traffic service.

FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

GUAM
Due to traffic congestion within the Oakland CTA/FIR north, south, and west of the airspace
delegated to Guam CERAP (a 250 NM radius of N1332/E14455), preferred routings have been
established for all turbojet aircraft at or above FL280 operating within the Oakland CTA/FIR
north, south, or west of the Guam CTA. The following are the Guam area preferential routings
within the Oakland Oceanic CTA/FIR. Aircraft operators must ensure that these preferential
routes are indicated in Field 15 of the ICAO standard flight plan unless following published UPR
Procedures. The acronym FPRD means flight plan route to destination.
Aircraft within the Oakland CTA/FIR and transiting the Guam CERAP delegated airspace must
flight plan to enter/exit Guam Center airspace on an appropriate ATS route(s) or other establish-
ed compulsory reporting points (e.g., FATUM or JOBSS).
With the exception of aircraft flight planned via Oceania UPR procedures, operators flight plan-
ning at or above FL280 with filed routes other than those described above should expect to be
re-routed to the preferential route. Requests for alternate routes will be considered on a real-time
basis as traffic conditions permit. However, aircraft should file for and be prepared to fly the en-
tire preferential route. Aircraft operating EAST of 150E longitude will not be affected.

AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)

INTRODUCTION
The Australian Organized Track Structure (AUSOTS) has been developed to help provide airlines
with better traffic flows and significantly contribute to airline fuel savings. The AUSOTS will be cre-
ated and promulgated on a daily basis, considering many variables including wind conditions, as
a series of Track Definition Messages (TDM) for the most efficient track between specific interna-
tional gates and Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The future will bring further development of
the AUSOTS, based on collaboration with participating airlines.

AUSOTS GUIDELINES
GENERAL INFORMATION
AUSOTS will be available for all aircraft meeting the minimum requirement of RNP10 or RNP4.
Any aircraft which loses its RNP capability enroute, but is still able to navigate on the Flex Tracks
may continue to do so. Aircraft unable to continue navigating on the Flex Tracks will be re-cleared
by ATC via the fixed route structure.
On the occasions when the daily optimum route corresponds completely with a published route,
the Trackmaster will still publish these details as a Track Definition Message (TDM) to avoid the
risk of confusion over possible lost TDMs.

GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY
AUSOTS tracks may be established within the Melbourne and Brisbane FIRs. Outside the YBBB
and YMMM FIRs, aircraft operators will flight plan as required by the specific Air Navigation Serv-
ice Provider (ANSP).

TRACK COORDINATION MESSAGE (TCM)


A Track Coordination Message (TCM) will be issued by Airservices Australia for review by selec-
ted airlines to determine the appropriateness of the FIR Boundary Entry/Exit fix in regard to flight
outside the Australian airspace. Based on the airlines responses, the TDM will be published.

TRACK DEFINITION MESSAGE (TDM)


The Airservices Australia Trackmaster will use the TDM format in accordance with Table 4-3 of
the Asia/Pacific Regional Interface Control Document (ICD) for ATS Inter-facility Ground/Ground
Data Communications (AIDC).
The format of the TDM is as follows:

NOTE: *Maximum of four alpha numeric characters.
** Airservices Australia will not be specifying the tracking requirements outside the YBBB and
YMMM FIRs. Therefore, the TDM will only include either the fixed route details for departures
from an Australian aerodrome to join the Flex Tracks or, for Australian aerodrome arrivals, the
fixed route details from the end of the Flex Tracks to the destination.

Questions regarding published AUSOTS tracks should be directed to the Melbourne Center Oper-
ations Manager at the Melbourne Air Traffic Service Center (ATSC) on +61-3-9235-7420.

DESIGNATION OF AUSOTS TRACKS


GENERAL INFORMATION
a. While a limited number of AUSOTS tracks will be designated as a specific city pair, the
majority will be defined between a specific aerodrome at one end and an area/region at the
other.
b. For specific Flex Tracks where traffic numbers and diverse ETDs exist, the AUSOTS may be
generated twice a day. In all other cases, the track will be generated once a day.
c. In line with international practice, Flex Track identification will be limited to four (4) alpha-
numeric characters which will be used to clearly identify different Flex Tracks and general
validity periods.

FLEX TRACK NOMENCLATURE


a. Characters 1 & 2 – Identifiers:
Characters 1 & 2 will represent the direction of the Flex Track. It will either be between two
specified aerodromes or between an aerodrome and an area/region.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 266
PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)

b. Specific Aerodromes:

A Auckland
B Brisbane
C Christchurch
M Melbourne
P Perth
S Sydney

c. Areas/Regions:

X Middle East
Y Singapore Area of Southeast Asia
Z India

CHARACTER 3 – TRACK NUMBER


a. Character 3 will represent the track number between a specific track pairing. This number
will generally be one (1) unless a second Flex Track is generated concurrently either to pro-
vide for congestion on a single track or to provide better access to other aerodromes in the
same area/region. For example, two tracks may be generated between Sydney (S) and the
Singapore Area (Y). Track 1 may capture the WIII, WSSS, WMKK traffic, and Track 2 the
WADD and VTBD traffic.

CHARACTER 4 – VALIDITY PERIOD IDENTIFIER


a. Research has indicated that the validity periods for the Flex Tracks that make up the
AUSOTS fall into two categories:
1. high density shorter range international routes with diverse scheduled departure times
requiring the Flex Tracks to be generated twice daily with shorter validity periods; and
2. the long range international routes with low traffic densities and limited departure times
that require a once-a-day promulgated Flex Tracks with a long validity period.
b. From an Air Traffic Management (ATM) perspective, particularly in an electronic environ-
ment, the naming system must militate against possible confusions caused by the introduc-
tion of TDMs replacing the previous TDMs with the same name. The 4th character is pre-
dominantly for the Air Traffic Service Provider (ATSP) use.
c. The fourth character will be either:
1. for Flex Tracks generated twice a day:
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 267
PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)

A (meaning tracks created from the 0600 wind updates),


P (meaning tracks created from the 1800 wind updates);

or
2. for Flex Tracks generated once a day:
a number from 1 to 7 (representing the day of the week that the Flex Track is created
starting with Monday – 1, Tuesday – 2, etc).
EXAMPLE 1: SY2P would represent a second Flex Track created between Sydney and
the Singapore area and that it was created from the 1800 wind updates. This track is
probably for Sydney to Bangkok operations as track 1 (SY1P) would be based on Sin-
gapore.
EXAMPLE 2: XB11 would represent a once-a-day Flex Track created between The
Middle East and Brisbane and that it was created on a Monday.
EXAMPLE 3: AP16 would represent a once-a-day Flex Track created between Auck-
land and Perth and that it was created on a Saturday.

FLEX TRACKS CHRONOLOGY


After the wind updates at 0600 UTC and 1800 UTC, the Trackmaster will create the AUSOTS
Flex Tracks that are required for the period. Approximately one (1) hour after the wind updates,
the Trackmaster will send the draft Flex Tracks to selected airlines as TCMs. After confirmation is
received from the airlines on the suitability of the exit gate from the Australian FIRs, the AUSOTS
tracks will be published as TDMs and NOTAM.

TDM Creation Process

While the validity periods are track specific, the majority will conform to standard times. Airservi-
ces Australia expects that the validity period for the portion of AUSOTS containing the Singapore
area to Australia tracks will be 1300 UTC to 0000 UTC and 0000 UTC to 1300 UTC. Irrespective
of any concept of standard times, the official validity period will be the times as specified on the
TDM.
Where possible, aircraft operators will be advised of intended changes to standard times.

CITY PAIR FLEX TRACK UTILIZATION


The AUSOTS concept has been implemented as a trial at the request of airlines to provide opera-
tor efficiencies. Airservices Australia expects that all operators, other than those affected by
operational limitations, will plan to utilize the AUSOTS. For example, the fixed route structure
directs the Singapore -- Australia -- Singapore traffic through a waypoint in the Jakarta area, the
Bali area or via KIKEM. Flex Tracks will be created utilizing these gates to facilitate ATC applica-
tion of separation and enroute traffic flow management. Additionally, all flights operating out of
aerodromes that would naturally make use of the TDM specified gates are also encouraged to
plan via the published OTS.
Aircraft with operational limitations that, at flight planning, cannot comply with the OTS must notify
the Melbourne Center Operations Manager.
Aircraft that would not complete the Flex Track portion of the flight during the published validity
period must flight plan via the fixed route structure. However, approval may be requested from the
Melbourne Center Operations Manager to depart as planned if a flight is unexpectedly delayed
and this delay would cause the aircraft to still be on the Flex Track for a short time outside the
validity period. If approval is not available, the flight is required to re-plan via the fixed route struc-
ture.
Eastbound aircraft may flight plan to utilize the OTS when not intending to land at the Australian
Flex Tracks designated destination; however, they may not diverge from the Flex Tracks prior to
the exit gate unless approval is specified in the RMKs section of the TDM (i.e. Aircraft for YPAD to
exit at WHA).
Westbound flights need not depart from the aerodrome designated in the TDM identifier, but must
join the Flex Track at the entry fix and remain on the track until the exit fix.

LATERAL SPACING OF TRACKS


Common direction tracks can be coincidental; however, when there is no requirement for the use
of common fixes, tracks will be laterally spaced as described below.
Opposite direction tracks, unless converging or diverging, will be laterally spaced by the appropri-
ate horizontal separation standard; i.e. 50 NM oceanic or 30 NM domestic, reducing, as applica-
ble, with the introduction of Automatic Dependence Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) or within
radar coverage.

FLEX TRACK DESCRIPTION


The Flex Tracks are described using a collection of named fixes and latitude/longitude. The Flex
Tracks will be described between fixes on the FIR boundary and appropriate gates to enter/exit
the higher traffic density east coast airspace. See Figures 1 and 2 for gates appropriate for the
Singapore – Australia TDMs.
To simplify the description of the Flex Tracks for flight planning, Flight Management Computer
(FMC) interaction, navigation, position reporting, coordination and separation, Flex Track defining
fixes will be selected in accordance with the following hierarchy:
a. Published High Route Fix, then
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 269
PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)

b. Published Floating/Buried Waypoint, then


c. Created Waypoint Whole Degree LAT/LONG.
The Trackmaster will manipulate the collection of Flex Tracks to form a homogenous Organized
Track Structure (OTS) that enhances separation assurance principles from an ATC perspective,
while providing economic benefit to airlines. Where possible, the Trackmaster will also integrate
the OTS with the domestic route structure.

DOTS+ AIRCRAFT MODELS


The DOTS+ (Dynamic Online Training System) has multiple aircraft models available to deter-
mine best fit Minimum Fuel Track (MFT).
The Trackmaster will be using the DOTS+ B747-400 model when producing the Flex Tracks for
the flights to and from Sydney and Melbourne, and will use the DOTS+ B767-300 model for the
flights to and from Brisbane.

FLIGHT PLANNING REQUIREMENTS


At either end of the TDM defined Flex Tracks, aircraft will plan via the published route structure.
For the Australian end of the Flex Tracks, flight planning through the higher traffic density air-
space along the south and east coast will be in accordance with the Australian AIP, and will be
provided in the RTS section of the TDM.
The ATS-Route Description in Field 15 of the filed ICAO ATC Flight Plan will include all waypoints
as included in the TDM, and will not use any Flex Track designators/identifiers.
The Trackmaster will also determine the impact of planned activation of Restricted areas on the
Flex Tracks. Where possible, the Trackmaster will liaise with the Restricted airspace user to
determine the likelihood of access. When access is unlikely, the Trackmaster will either build the
Flex Track clear of the unavailable airspace or will include limitations on its use as a remark in the
TDM.

ATC PROCEDURES
ATC will apply existing separation standards as utilized on the fixed route structure.
ATC will apply the current priority structure with the inclusion that when conflictions occur
between aircraft on the AUSOTS and those that were able to, but elected not to, utilize the Flex
Tracks, ATC will apply separation favoring the aircraft on the Flex Track.
The TDM identifier will NOT be used as part of an ATC clearance or in radio transmissions in gen-
eral.

POSITION REPORTING
Position reports must be made in accordance with ICAO Doc 7030 procedures. Within the Flex
Track airspace, position reports must be made using geographical coordinates or named fixes as
specified in the AUSOTS TDM.

SYSTEM REVIEW
Review of ATC fixed requirements and airline agreed parameters will be addressed as follows:
a. Stakeholder Significant Safety Issues – immediately reviewed by Trackmaster/Airservices
Australia Operations Manager
b. Changes to Airline Agreed Parameters – quarterly, either via stakeholder meetings called by
the Trackmaster or direct e-mail to the Trackmaster who will initiate discussion with all stake-
holders.
c. Broadening of Capability – subsequent to the Post Implementation Review of initial trial.

CONTINGENCY ARRANGEMENTS
Regardless of circumstances, if the Flex Track is unable to be published at the scheduled time,
then a NOTAM shall be prepared and published that advises airlines to use charted fixed routes.

required.
1.3 When a flight is intended to operate within an ADIZ, the pilot, unless exempted in accord-
ance with the following paragraph must:
a. lodge a flight plan covering flight within the ADIZ with the appropriate ATS unit at least 60
minutes before entry into the ADIZ;
b. report position to ATS when passing each position reporting point within the ADIZ;
c. report position to ATS at ADIZ boundary with a geographical reference (e.g.; 15 NM east
of...) or, if the departure point is within 100 NM of the ADIZ boundary, report departure;
d. report departure if departing from a point within the ADIZ;
e. maintain a continuous listening watch on the communications frequency of the appropriate
ATS unit or on another frequency as directed until the flight is through the ADIZ;
f. not deliberately deviate from tracks and altitudes filed in the flight plan unless prior ATC
clearance is obtained, or outside controlled airspace, notification is given to the appropriate
ATS unit;
g. activate transponder when within 100 NM of the ADIZ and when operating within the ADIZ.
1.4 The following flights over Australia and its territorial waters are exempted from compliance
with the requirements of the previous paragraph:
a. a flight originating within an ADIZ which maintains a steady outbound track;
b. a flight which remains within 10 NM of the point of departure;
c. aircraft performing published approach, holding or recovery procedures; and
d. a flight conducted in accordance with special procedures arranged with the Area Air Defence
Commander.
1.5 Flight plans lodged in accordance with paragraph 1.3 must include details of:
a. tracks and altitudes to be flown while operating in the ADIZ;
b. estimated elapsed times for each route segment in the ADIZ, including the segment in which
the ADIZ boundary is crossed;
c. position reporting points, departure and landing points; and
d. estimated time at the commencing point of the first route segment for which details are
required in accordance with b. above.

6.7 Melbourne CTR – overflying IFR and VFR flights
Due to separation requirements with Melbourne INTL Jet traffic, the minimum ALT for ACFT
planning to overfly the Melbourne CTR is 6000 ft (except for OPS to and from Melbourne or Es-
sendon airports).
IFR ACFT with operational requirements for a lower altitude due to low freezing level must con-
tact the Melbourne Traffic Manager (03) 9235 7337 to make suitable arrangements.
6.8 Alternative Routes
Any variation to the above flight planning requirements requires prior approval from the Mel-
bourne Traffic Manager (03) 9235 7337.

PACIFIC VOR RECEIVER CHECK SIGNALS

INTRODUCTION
Airborne and ground check points consist of certified radials that should be received at specific
points on the airport surface or over specific landmarks while airborne in the immediate vicinity of
the airport.
Should an error in excess of plus or minus 4 degrees be indicated through use of a ground check,
or plus or minus 6 degrees using the airborne check, IFR flight shall not be attempted without first
correcting the source of the error.
CAUTION: No correction other than the correction card figures supplied by the manufac-
turer should be applied in making these VOR receiver checks.

EXPLANATION OF LISTINGS
The following information is provided.
– Type of check, Ground (G) or Airborne (A).
– For VOR check points – VOR frequency and identifier. Bearing in degrees magnetic outbound
from the VOR; location of the check point (distances are in nautical miles); altitude (in feet
MSL).

Radio Aids

Radio Data - Australia


RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 466
AUSTRALIA
RADIO NAVIGATION SERVICE

1 GENERAL
1.1 RADIO AIDS TO NAVIGATION
1.1.1 The following types of radio aids to navigation operate within Australian FIRs:
a. MF Non-Directional Beacon (NDB);
b. VHF Omni-Directional Radio Range (VOR);
c. Distance Measuring Equipment (DME);
d. Instrument Landing System (ILS);
e. Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR);
f. Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR);
g. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo etc;
h. GBAS Landing System (GLS) – (Polarization GBAS/H);
i. Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN) (military locations);
j. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) (FANS-1/A); and
k. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) (1090 MHz Extended Squitter).

1.2 IDENTIFICATION
1.2.1 Radio navigation aids serving the same location normally radiate the same identification
codes. Further, at ILS/localizer installations, the normal identification is preceded by the letter “I”;
and at private non-accredited NDBs, a four letter identifier is radiated, the first letter being “X”.
1.2.2 A GBAS station is identified by the relevant Airport’s 4 letter ICAO code where the GBAS
is installed (e.g. YSSY). Approaches provided from the GBAS station are identified by the Refer-
ence Path ID field in the Final Approach Segment (FAS) data blocks. The Reference Path ID is
unique to the approach to be used and published on the Approach Plate for the runway. Each
Reference Path ID commences with the letter “G”.

2 NON-DIRECTIONAL BEACONS
Operate in the frequency band 190 kHz – 1750 kHz. Due to the frequency range available within
Australia, a number of beacons share the same frequency. Where this occurs, the beacons are
widely spaced geographically.
2.2 Some NDBs have been sited in mountainous country and reflections of the signal can cause
bearing fluctuations which may occasionally exceed 10°. Since these fluctuations may tend to
obscure the “over the top” indications, other aids should be used as a check. The rated coverage
of these NDBs is generally reduced to no more than 30 NM.

3 VHF OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RADIO RANGE (VOR)


3.1 These aids operate in the frequency band 112 – 118 MHz. The track radials are designated
by their magnetic bearing away from the station.
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 467
AUSTRALIA
RADIO NAVIGATION SERVICE

3.2 RATED COVERAGE


3.2.1 VOR and DME

Aircraft Altitude (feet) Range (NM)


Below 5000 60
5000 to below 10,000 90
10,000 to below 15,000 120
15,000 to below 20,000 150
20,000 and above 180
NOTE: The above ranges are quoted for planning purposes. Actual ranges obtained may some-
times be less than these due to facility and site variations.

4 DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT (DME)


4.1 Australia uses the international 1000 MHz system. The system uses the channels designa-
ted in ICAO Annex 10 for operation with the VOR frequency selected for the same site. This “pair-
ing” facilitates compatible airborne equipment to display both the DME and VOR information by
the selection of only the VOR frequency.
4.2 When specific ICAO requirements are met, collocated DME and VOR are said to be “associ-
ated” and are shown as VOR/DME with the VOR frequency. In other cases, a bracket will be used
to indicate collocation of navigation aids.
4.3 When a DME is not “associated” with the VOR at the same site, it is identified in NOTAM by
its channel number and suffix with the VOR frequency in parenthesis; e.g., DME 111X (116.4).

5 TACTICAL AIR NAVIGATION (TACAN)


5.1 TACAN systems are installed at a number of military/joint-user airports.
5.1.1 The DME element of the TACAN can be obtained by using its “paired” VOR frequency.
NOTE: TACAN and VOR installations at joint-user airfields are never “associated”.
TACAN is shown by the channel number with the “paired” VOR frequency, e.g., TACAN88
(114.1).

6 PRECISION APPROACH OPERATIONS


6.1 GENERAL
6.1.1 Precision approach operations involve the use of either ILS or GLS facilities.
6.1.2 An ILS supports all types of precision approach operations. The ground facilities comprise
localizer equipment, glide path equipment and marker beacons, usually supported by an NDB or
dedicated DME.
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 468
AUSTRALIA
RADIO NAVIGATION SERVICE

6.1.3 A GLS currently supports precision approach operations with minima as low as CAT I, but
with the future potential for supporting CAT II and III operations. A GLS consists of a GBAS
ground station located on or in the vicinity of one or more airports and an aircraft subsystem. The
GBAS provides data and corrections for the GNSS ranging signals over a digital VHF data broad-
cast to the aircraft subsystem. The aircraft subsystem translates the position signal into flight
guidance similar to that provided for an ILS.
ILS CAUTION:
1. False courses may exist or course reversals may occur outside the sector 35° (or 20° at cer-
tain airports) either side of an ILS localizer course.
2. Back beam radiation of an ILS LOC can be received and displayed on aircraft navigation
instrumentation. Pilots should be alert to this possibility at locations providing ILS/LOC
approaches on reciprocal runways.
3. A severe and sudden pitch-up upset can occur in cases when the aircraft:
a. intercepts an ILS glidepath from above; or
b. during an ILS approach, deviates significantly above the normal glidepath angle.
Caution should be exercised in such situations particularly for autopilot coupled approaches.
See AIC 14/14 (not published herein).

6.2 FAILURES
6.2.1 NDB. In the event of failure of an associated NDB, aircraft must join the ILS outside the
outer marker as directed by NOTAM or ATC.
6.2.2 Glide path. For ILS operations where the glide path fails, only the localizer procedure is
available.
6.2.3 Markers. Where marker beacons are not available, aircraft may use the ILS if the alter-
nate fixes nominated on the IAL chart or by NOTAM are used for altimeter checks.
6.2.4 GBAS. If GBAS fails, GLS approaches are not available.

6.3 RATED COVERAGE


6.3.1 Localizer
6.3.1.1 Localizer ranges are for those installations that have been nominated for position fixing
at ranges beyond 25 NM.

6.4 GBAS COURSE DEVIATION LIMITATION (available beyond the


approach service volume)
6.4.1 For GLS course deviation information for YSSY and YMML — Between 50 NM and 23 NM
from the GBAS site, GLS course deviation information is advisory only. Within 23 NM from the
GBAS site, GLS course deviation information is approved for the conduct of an Instrument
Approach. (See also ERSA Facilities (FAC) section for each location under the heading RADIO
NAVIGATION AND LANDING AIDS (not published herein).

7 PUBLIC BROADCASTING STATIONS


7.1 Some broadcast stations are shown on visual navigation charts when they may be of value
as supplementary aids to navigation. Broadcast station locations and frequencies are published in
section titled Broadcast Stations.

8 ABNORMAL OPERATION OF RADIO NAVIGATION AIDS


8.1 Users must notify ATS of any abnormal condition in the operation of any radio navigation
facility.

8.2 AIDS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NAVIGATION


8.2.1 Sometimes a facility that is not suitable for navigation has to be operated for test purpo-
ses. To provide a warning to pilots in such cases, in addition to NOTAM or verbal advice, the sta-
tion identifier will either:
a. be suppressed; or
b. for ILS:
1. If the localizer is out of service, the glide path will not be radiated and there will be no
identifier; or
2. if the glide path is out of service but radiating test signals, the localizer will not be radi-
ated;
3. if the glide path is out of service and switched off, the localizer may be radiated together
with the station identification; or
c. for GLS:
1. when required for maintenance or on failure the system will be withdrawn from service;
or
2. if the audible Reference Path ID is corrupt or not received the system will be withdrawn
from service.
d. for newly installed NDBs or experimental facilities, the identifier XP will be used.
NOTE: When a disabled GLS approach is selected, the Reference Path ID may still be displayed
on the Primary Flight Display and the audible IDENT heard. No deviation indications or steering
commands will be displayed.
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 470
AUSTRALIA
RADIO NAVIGATION SERVICE

8.3 REMOTE FACILITIES


8.3.1 Sometimes circumstances necessitate the introduction of a station identification before the
aid is notified as being available for operational use. While use of the aid in these circumstances
does not present an operational hazard, navigation by use of the aid must not be planned until its
availability is notified by NOTAM.

8.4 MONITORING OF IDENTIFIER


8.4.1 If a station identification is not received or is corrupt, the aid should not be used as the
primary means of navigation except when its serviceability in this condition is confirmed by
NOTAM.
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 471

AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

1 INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM (INS)


1.1 The Inertial Navigation System is a totally self-contained navigation system, comprised of
gyros, accelerometers, and a navigation computer, which provides aircraft position and navigation
information in response to signals resulting from inertial effects on system components, and does
not require information from external references.
1.2 INS is aligned with accurate position information prior to departure, and thereafter calculates
its position as it progresses to the destination. By programming a series of waypoints, the system
will navigate along a predetermined track. New waypoints can be inserted at any time if a revised
routing is desired.
1.3 INS accuracy is very high initially following alignment, and decays with time at the rate of
about 1 to 2 NM per hour. Position update alignment can be accomplished inflight using ground
based references, and many INS systems now have sophisticated automatic update using dual
DME and or VOR inputs.
1.4 INS may be approved as the sole means of navigation or may be used in combination with
other systems.

2 DOPPLER RADAR
2.1 Doppler Radar is a semiautomatic self-contained dead reckoning navigation system (radar
sensor plus computer) which is not continuously dependent on information derived from ground
based or external aids. The system employs radar signals to detect and measure ground speed
and drift angle, using the aircraft compass system as its directional reference.
2.2 Doppler is less accurate than INS however, and the use of an external reference is required
for periodic updates if acceptable position accuracy is to be achieved on long range flights.

3 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)


3.1 The Flight Management System is a computer system that uses a large data base to allow
routes to be pre-programmed and fed into the system by means of a data loader. The system is
constantly updated with respect to position accuracy by reference to conventional navigation aids.
The sophisticated program and its associated data base insures that the most appropriate aids
are automatically selected during the information update cycle.

4 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)


4.1 The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based radio navigation system, based on
the World Geodetic System – 1984 (WGS-84) datum, which provides highly accurate position and
velocity information.
4.2 Use of GPS for IFR operations is dependent on the U.S. Department of Defense GPS
Standard Positioning Service operating to its defined full operating capability. Use of this service
to meet the requirements for a sole means navigation system must be in accordance with Radio
Navigation Systems.

AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

5 AREA NAVIGATION SYSTEMS APPROVAL AND


OPERATIONS
Requirements, advice and information on area navigation, PBN and GNSS aspects can also be
found on the CASA website at: www.casa.gov.au/airspace/standard-page/cns-atm-navigation.
5.1.1 Area navigation systems rely on data in the navigation database to be current, valid and
correct for the navigation system to provide the correct information. Navigation databases should
be regularly checked for integrity and if any discrepancy in the data is discovered, report the dis-
crepancy as soon as practicable to the database provider.
NOTE: Errors may occur in navigation databases from time to time. Pilots should subscribe to any
alerting services offered by the navigation database provider to receive notifications of any navi-
gation database errors.
The pilot in command or operator of an aircraft must hold an approval to conduct RNP-AR proce-
dures in Australia (see CASR 91.660).

5.3 NOTIFICATION OF FAILURE OR OPERATION OUTSIDE OF


TOLERANCE
5.3.1 Pilots using area navigation systems for navigation must notify ATC:
a. about navigation equipment failure: or
b. of operations of the equipment outside the approved tolerances; or
c. for inertial systems, if the times between updates, or from departure, exceeding three (3)
hours for single units or five (5) hours for multiple units for flights in controlled airspace other
than OCA, and five (5) hours for a single unit or 12 hours for multiple units for flights in OCA.
NOTE: ATC may discontinue applying certain area navigation standards after receipt of the
advice.

6 AREA NAVIGATION ROUTES


Information regarding which GNSS equipment can be used for different navigation specifications
(i.e., RNP or RNAV) can be found in the CASR Part 91, acceptable means of compliance and
guidance material (AMC/GM) is available on the CASA website.

7 RVSM APPROVAL AND OPERATIONS


RVSM is an ICAO standard, which allows the use of 1000 ft separation between RVSM-approved
aircraft operating from FL290 to FL410 inclusive. In Australia, RVSM is applied in accordance with
the ICAO standard. Operators and aircraft must be approved by the NAA of the State of Registry
or the State of the operator (see CASR 91.665).

8 AOC TO BE CARRIED ON-BOARD


8.1 In accordance with ICAO Annex 6 Parts l, an airplane conducting an international commer-
cial air transport operation shall carry a certified true copy of the AOC and a copy of the associ-
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 473

DIRECTION FINDING PROCEDURES

1 ICAO AERONAUTICAL TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDS


AND RECOMMENDED PRACTICES, ANNEX 10, VOLUME II
NOTE 1: Direction-finding stations work either singly or in groups of two or more stations under
the direction of a main direction-finding station.
NOTE 2: A direction-finding station working alone can only determine the direction of an aircraft in
relation to itself.
1.1 A direction-finding station working alone should give the following, as requested.
a. true bearing of the aircraft, using the signal QTE or appropriate phrase;
b. true heading to be steered by the aircraft with no wind, to head for the direction-finding sta-
tion using the signal QUJ or appropriate phrase;
c. magnetic bearing of the aircraft, using the signal QDR or appropriate phrase;
d. magnetic heading to be steered by the aircraft, with no wind, to make for the station, using
the signal QDM or appropriate phrase.
1.2 When direction-finding stations work as a network to determine the position of an aircraft,
the bearings taken by each station should be sent immediately to the station controlling the direc-
tion-finding network to enable the position of the aircraft to be determined.
1.2.1 The station controlling the network should, on request, give the aircraft its position in one
of the following ways:
a. position in relation to a point of reference or in latitude and longitude, using the signal QTF or
appropriate phrase;
b. true bearing of the aircraft in relation to the direction-finding station or other specified point,
using the signal QTE or appropriate phrase, and its distance from the direction-finding sta-
tion or point, using the signal QGE or appropriate phrase;
c. magnetic heading to steer with no wind, to make for the direction-finding station or other
specified point using the signal QDM or appropriate phrase, and its distance from the direc-
tion-finding station or point, using the signal QGE or appropriate phrase.
1.3 Aircraft stations shall normally make request for bearings, courses or positions, to the aero-
nautical station responsible, or to the station controlling the direction-finding network.
1.4 To request a bearing, heading or position, the aircraft station shall call the aeronautical sta-
tion or the direction-finding control station on the listening frequency. The aircraft shall then spec-
ify the type of service that is desired by the user of the appropriate phrase or Q signal.
1.5 As soon as the direction-finding station or group of stations is ready, the station originally
called by the aircraft station shall where necessary request transmission for direction-finding serv-
ice or send the appropriate Q signal, and, if necessary, indicate the frequency to be used by the
aircraft station, the number of times the transmission should be repeated, the duration of the
transmission required or any special transmission requirement.
1.5.1 In radiotelegraphy, the aircraft station shall, after changing if necessary, to the new trans-
mitting frequency, reply by sending its call sign, two dashes of about ten seconds of duration each
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 475
AUSTRALIA
DIRECTION FINDING PROCEDURES

and then repeating its call sign, unless some other period has been specified by the direction-find-
ing station.
1.5.2 In radiotelephony, an aircraft station which requests a bearing shall end the transmission
by repeating its call sign. If the transmission has been too short for the direction-finding station to
obtain a bearing, the aircraft shall give a longer transmission for two periods of approximately ten
seconds, or alternatively provide such other signals as may be requested by the direction-finding
station.
NOTE: Certain types of VHF/DF stations require the provision of a modulated signal (voice trans-
mission) in order to take a bearing.
1.6 When a direction-finding station is not satisfied with its observation, it shall request the air-
craft, station to repeat the transmission.
1.7 When a heading or bearing has been requested, the direction-finding station shall advise the
aircraft station in the following form:
a. the appropriate phrase or Q signal;
b. bearing or heading in degrees in relation to the direction-finding station, sent as three fig-
ures;
c. class of bearing (except in QDL procedure);
d. time of observation, if necessary (except in QDL procedure).
1.8 When a position has been requested, the direction-finding control station, after plotting all
simultaneous observations, shall determine the observed position of the aircraft and shall advise
the aircraft station in the following form:
a. the appropriate phrase or Q signal;
b. the position;
c. class of position;
d. time of observation.
1.9 As soon as the aircraft station has received the bearing, heading or position, it shall repeat
back the message for confirmation, or correction, except in QDL procedure.
1.10 When positions are given by bearing or heading and distance from a known point other
than the station making the report, the reference point shall be an airport, prominent town or geo-
graphic feature. An airport shall be given in preference to other places. When a large city or town
is used as a reference place, the bearing or heading, and the distance given shall be measured
from its center.
1.11 When the position is expressed in latitude and longitude, groups of figures for degrees and
minutes shall be used followed by the letter N or S for latitude and the letter E or W for longitude,
respectively. In radiotelephony the words NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST shall be used.
1.12 According to the estimate by the direction-finding station of the accuracy of the observa-
tions, bearings and positions shall be classified as follows:

DIRECTION FINDING PROCEDURES

a. Bearings:
Class A — Accurate within plus or minus 2 degrees.
Class B — Accurate within plus or minus 5 degrees.
Class C — Accurate within plus or minus 10 degrees.
Class D — Accuracy less than Class C.
b. Positions:
Class A — Accurate within 9.3 km (5 NM);
Class B — Accurate within 37 km (20 NM);
Class C — Accurate within 92 km (50 NM);
Class D — Accurate less than Class C.
1.13 Direction-finding stations shall have authority to refuse to give bearings, headings or posi-
tions when conditions are unsatisfactory or when bearings do not fall within the calibrated limits of
the station, stating the reason at the time of refusal.
1.14 An aircraft station requiring a series of bearings or headings, shall call the direction-finding
station concerned, on the appropriate frequency, and request the service by the signal QDL fol-
lowed by other appropriate Q signals, except that when the series has commenced, the call signs
of the stations may be omitted if no confusion is likely to arise.
NOTE: Certain MF and HF direction-finding stations are maintained for emergency and distress
use only. The use of these stations, the hours of service, the call sign, location and frequencies of
communication stations, and certain exceptions to the above procedure are shown in pertinent
publications.

1 SIGMET information is prepared by the Meteorological Watch Office whenever any of the fol-
lowing phenomena are occurring or are expected to occur within the Hong Kong FIR: Active
thunderstorms, severe line squall, severe turbulence, marked mountain waves, tropical cyclone,
heavy hail, severe icing, widespread sandstorm/duststorm (unlikely to be used). Tropical cyclo-
nes will be mentioned whenever they are centered within the area 10N to 30N, 105E to 125E
even though this area extends beyond the Hong Kong FIR. The requirement to issue SIGMET
information regarding active thunderstorms refers to the occurrence or expected occurrence of
an area of widespread cumulonimbus clouds (Cb) or Cb along a line with little or no space be-
tween individual clouds, or to Cb embedded in cloud layers or concealed by haze. It does not
refer to isolated or scattered Cb not embedded in cloud layers or concealed by haze.
2 In VHHH MET Reports and Forecasts, wind information refers to the SE anemometer and the
visibility refers to that observed from the Meteorological Office on the 4th floor of the Airport Ter-
minal Building.
3 All reports are the latest available. However, if the latest available report would be more than
two hours old at broadcast time, it is not transmitted.

AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

Australian definitions and abbreviations applicable to this section which are not published
or differ from those published in INTRODUCTION — Chart Glossary. See also Definitions
and Abbreviations sections in the Air Traffic Control, Emergency and Terminal chapters of
this manual.

1 DEFINITIONS
AIRPORT METEOROLOGICAL MINIMA (CEILING AND VISIBILITY MINIMA) — The minimum
heights of cloud base (ceiling) and minimum values of visibility which are prescribed in pursuance
of CASR Part 91 for the purpose of determining the useability of an airport either for takeoff or
landing.
AIR-REPORT (AIREP) — A report from an aircraft in flight prepared in conformity with the
requirements for position and operational and/or meteorological reporting.
AREA QNH — A forecast altimeter setting which is representative of the QNH of any location
within a particular area.
AUTOMATIC ENROUTE INFORMATION SERVICE (AERIS) — The provision of operational
information enroute by means of continuous and repetitive broadcasts.
AUTOMATIC TERMINAL INFORMATION SERVICE (ATIS) — The provision of current, routine
information to arriving and departing aircraft by means of continuous and repetitive broadcasts
during the hours when the unit responsible for the service is in operation.
BRIEFING — The act of giving in advance specific preflight instructions or information to an air-
crew.
CONTAMINATED RUNWAY — A runway that has more than 25% of the runway surface area
within the required length and width being used covered by:
a. water, or slush, more than 3mm deep; or
b. loose snow more than 20mm deep; or
c. compacted snow or ice, including wet ice.
NOTE: A contaminated runway report should identify the type of contaminant using the relevant
runway surface condition descriptor (most commonly ‘standing water’ in Australia), and if possible
and relevant – the extent of contamination. ‘CONTAMINATED RUNWAY’ is not normally used in
radiotelephony.
DRY RUNWAY — A runway that is free of visible moisture and not contaminated within the area
intended to be used.
FLIGHT VISIBILITY — The visibility forward from the cockpit of an aircraft in flight.
FORECAST — A statement of expected meteorological conditions for a specified period, and for
a specified area or portion of airspace.
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS — Meteorological conditions which may endanger aircraft or
adversely affect their safe operation, particularly those phenomena associated with volcanic ash
cloud and thunderstorms – icing, hail and turbulence.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 591
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

METBRIEF (Automated Meteorological Telephone Briefing) — Self help system which deliv-
ers meteorological information on the telephone using a computer generated voice, in response to
a tone generated telephone request.
METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION — Meteorological report, analysis, forecast, and any other
statement relating to existing or expected meteorological conditions.
METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE — An office designated to provide meteorological service for air
navigation.
METEOROLOGICAL WARNING — A statement or meteorological report of the occurrence or
expectation of a deterioration or improvement in meteorological conditions or of any meteorologi-
cal phenomenon which may seriously affect the safe operation of aircraft.
NAIPS — The National Aeronautical Information Processing System, which provides briefings
and flight notification functions.
OVERSHOOT SHEAR — A wind shear occurrence which produces an INITIAL effect of over-
shooting the desired approach path and/or increasing airspeed.
RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITION(S) — A description of the condition(s) of the runway surface,
from the following:
a. Dry Runway – See ‘Dry Runway’ definition.
b. Wet Runway – See ‘Wet Runway’ definition.
c. Contaminated Runway – See the definitions for ‘Contaminated Runway’ and ‘Runway Sur-
face Condition Descriptors’.
RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITION DESCRIPTORS — One of the following elements on the sur-
face of the runway:
a. Compacted Snow: Snow that has been compacted into a solid mass such that airplane
tires, at operating pressures and loadings, will run on the surface without significant further
compaction or rutting of the surface.
b. Dry Snow: Snow from which a snowball cannot readily be made.
c. Frost: Frost consists of ice crystals formed from airborne moisture on a surface whose tem-
perature is below freezing. Frost differs from ice in that the frost crystals grow independently
and therefore have a more granular texture.
NOTE: Under certain conditions frost can cause the surface to become very slippery and it is
then reported appropriately as reduced braking action.
d. Ice: Water that has frozen or compacted snow that has transitioned into ice, in cold and dry
conditions.
e. Slush: Snow that is so water-saturated that water will drain from it when a handful is picked
up or will splatter if stepped on forcefully.
f. Standing Water: Water of depth greater than 3mm.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 592
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

NOTE: This is the most likely runway contaminant to be experienced in Australia. Running
water of depth greater than 3mm is reported as standing water.
g. Wet Ice: Ice with water on top of it or ice that is melting.
h. Wet Snow: Snow that contains enough water content to be able to make a well-compacted,
solid snowball, but water will not squeeze out.
SIGNIFICANT WEATHER — Any weather phenomenon which might affect flight visibility or
present a hazard to an aircraft.
SPACE WEATHER CENTER (SWXC) — A center designated to monitor and provide advisory
information on space weather phenomena expected to affect high-frequency radio communica-
tions, communications via satellite, GNSS-based navigation and surveillance systems and/or
pose a radiation risk to aircraft occupants.
NOTE: A space weather center is designated as global and/or regional.
TAF3 — An airport forecast (TAF) routinely issued every 3 hours.
UNDERSHOOT SHEAR — A wind shear occurrence which produces an INITIAL effect of under-
shooting the desired approach path and/or decreasing airspeed.
WET RUNWAY — A runway that:
a. is covered by surface water not more than 3mm deep; or
b. is covered by slush or loose snow equivalent to surface water not more than 3mm deep; or
c. has sufficient moisture on the surface to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant
areas of standing water.
NOTE: Wet Runway now covers the previous Australian description – ‘Damp'.

METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 616
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

1 AIRCRAFT REPORTS
1.1 ROUTINE AIRCRAFT OBSERVATIONS
1.1.1 Routine Observations in Australian FIRs are only required from aircraft equipped with Air-
craft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR).
1.1.2 AMDAR equipped aircraft should transmit routine meteorological observations:
a. at waypoints indicated by the symbols and on Enroute and Area charts.
b. at meteorological reporting points shown on the relevant charts.
c. whenever conditions experienced are significantly above or below those forecast.
1.1.3 In areas where ground meteorological reports are infrequent or any hazardous weather is
encountered, or observed either visually or by radar, pilots in command are encouraged to report
observations of MET conditions which they consider will assist in the provision of meteorological
services.
1.1.4 Routine weather observations should be reported in accordance with the AIREP Format
shown below in APPENDIX 1.

1.2 AIREP SPECIAL


A pilot-in-command should make an AIREP Special report when requested, or as soon as practi-
cable after encountering or observing hazardous meteorological conditions which, in the opinion
of the pilot are, or may become, severe enough to warrant a SIGMET, regardless of any reports
from other aircraft and regardless of any SIGMET issued.
APPENDIX 1 (Position reports, AIREP Special and volcanic ash reports) details the conditions
warranting an AIREP Special and the format of the report. The estimate of next position may be
omitted from an AIREP Special report unless the report is made at a planned position reporting
point.

1.3 WIND SHEAR — REPORTING


1.3.1 Wind shear encountered by aircraft should be reported by pilots to ATS as aircraft follow-
ing may not have the performance required to recover from the same wind shear encounter. The
wind shear may also be increasing in intensity, making flight through the wind shear more danger-
ous for following traffic.
1.3.2 Due to flight deck workload, reports may be initially reported as Wind Shear Escape and a
full report provided when workload allows.
1.3.3 The full report should include:
a. an assessment of the intensity as follows:
1. light — shear causing minor excursions from flight path and/or airspeed;
2. moderate — shear causing significant effect on control of the aircraft;
3. strong — shear causing difficulty in keeping the aircraft to desired flight path and/or air-
speed; or
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 617
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

4. severe — shear causing hazardous effects to aircraft controllability; and


b. a factual plain language report regarding airspeed/ground speed changes (gain or loss) or
undershoot/overshoot effects; and
c. the altitude or altitude band at which the adverse effect was experienced; and
d. where practicable, other relevant information such as significant changes in wind direction
and/or speed may be included.
1.3.4 At non-controlled airports, the report should also be broadcast to all aircraft on the CTAF
and should include the name of the airport.

1.4 VOLCANIC ACTIVITY REPORTS


Volcanic activity reports should be made by the pilot of an aircraft whenever observed, regardless
of any previous reports from other aircraft. See APPENDIX 1 for a sample form Volcanic Activity
Reporting (Model VAR).

2 VOLMET SERVICE
2.1 VOLMET broadcasts are prefixed by the designator “VOLMET” and may contain:
a. METAR/SPECI;
b. TAF for locations where significant elements are forecast;
c. advice regarding the availability of SIGMET.
2.2 Due to broadcast time constraints, TAF for a location will be included only if significant ele-
ments are forecast during the first three hours of validity. If no significant elements are forecast in
this period the identifier NOSIG will be broadcast in place of the TAF details following the METAR/
SPECI for that location.
2.3 Cloud types, excepting cumulonimbus, will not be included in VOLMET broadcasts.
2.4 Specific information regarding the VOLMET service is detailed in the following table:

7 GLOBAL REPORTING FORMAT IN AUSTRALIA


7.1 INTRODUCTION
On 4 November 2021, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) implemented the
Global Reporting Format (GRF) — an enhanced reporting format for assessing and reporting
runway surface conditions.
The details shown below provides information about Australia’s implementation of GRF.

7.2 OVERVIEW OF GLOBAL REPORTING FORMAT


7.2.1 The GRF involves collecting data on runway surface conditions, converting the data into
structured operational information and providing the information to the end users according to a
strict syntax readable in automated NOTAM processing systems. The system includes new defini-
tions for surface condition on airport surfaces, new requirements for surface assessments, intro-
duction of runway condition code (RWYCC), and expansion of the scope of SNOWTAM to include
runways contaminated by standing water. There are also revised scales for reporting braking
action and directional control.
7.2.2 The GRF has wide application for all climatic conditions including high latitude environ-
ments where snow and ice fall is the major factor through to tropical and temperate environments
where the most significant factor is rainfall (e.g., thunderstorms).

7.3 ASPECTS OF GRF ALREADY IN USE IN AUSTRALIA


7.3.1 Several aspects of the GRF have already been implemented in Australia.
7.3.2 Specifically, runway surface conditions that used to be reported in terms of DRY, DAMP,
WET, WATER PATCHES and FLOODED are now reported in terms broadly consistent with the
GRF, namely DRY, WET, STANDING WATER, etc. The depth of standing water, where meas-
ured and reported, will be provided by air traffic services (ATS) to flight crew.
7.3.3 Additionally, the scales of reported braking action and lateral control are aligned with the
scales introduced with the GRF.
7.3.4 At controlled airports, ATC will relay information received from the airport operator about
runway surface conditions including contamination.

7.4 WHAT IS NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED IN AUSTRALIA


7.4.1 SNOWTAM
7.4.1.1 At this point, Australia is not introducing SNOWTAM.
7.4.1.2 This is because the condition most likely to trigger a SNOWTAM in Australia — STAND-
ING WATER — is a rare event and highly transient. Given the lead time to compose a SNOW-
TAM, forward it to the NOTAM office and for it to be issued, the conditions that triggered the need
for the SNOWTAM are likely to have passed.
NOTE: A runway that is simply wet — the most likely occurrence in Australia — would not nor-
mally trigger the issuance of a SNOWTAM.

AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

7.4.1.3 As mentioned earlier, the ATC at controlled airports will relay information received from
the airport operator about runway surface conditions including the extent to which the runway is
contaminated. This relay method is more likely to provide timely information than a SNOWTAM.
7.4.1.4 In the rare event that a runway is flooded and has extensive standing water, it is likely
that the runway will be contaminated with debris to the extent of being unserviceable. In this case,
a NOTAM is likely to be issued to report the runway as closed.
7.4.2 Runway Condition Code (RWYCC)
7.4.2.1 At this point, Australia is not introducing RWYCC for runway condition reports.
7.4.2.2 Instead, ATC will relay only plain language reports about known runway conditions and
reported braking action/lateral control in accordance with the current runway condition terms.
Flight crews in receipt of such information should make their own assessment of the impact of the
report and take appropriate action.
7.4.3 Report of Runway Surface Conditions in Terms of Runway ‘Thirds’
7.4.3.1 Reports about runway surface conditions will not be reported for runway thirds – that is a
report for each third of a runway’s length as measured from the lower runway designation
number.
7.4.3.2 Instead, runway surface is reported in terms of a single assessment covering the entire
runway.

7.5 GUIDANCE ON RUNWAY CONDITION REPORTING FOR THE


PRESENT
7.5.1 The aviation community should continue using the existing procedures in the aeronautical
information publication (AIP) and Jeppesen — AUSTRALIA ATC sections on runway surface con-
ditions on and after 4 November 2021.
7.5.2 International operators can view Australia’s differences in relation to the GRF in the sum-
mary tables shown below.

7.6 FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS


7.6.1 The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is taking a risk-based approach to implement-
ing the GRF and will be making appropriate changes to procedures and standards as these are
developed.
7.6.2 Questions about GRF should be directed to CASA: grf.australia@casa.gov.au.

9 RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND


REPORTING
9.1 This section covers the methodology for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions
in accordance with the ICAO Global Reporting Format (GRF). Aircraft operators should utilize the
information in conjunction with the performance data provided by the aircraft manufacturer to
determine if landing or take-off operations can be conducted safely.

9.2 ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING


9.2.1 Runway surface conditions are assessed and reported whenever water or contaminants
are present on an operational runway.
9.2.2 A Runway Condition Report (RCR) is disseminated when there are significant changes in
the runway surface condition.
9.2.3 The RCR contains a Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) and information that describes
the runway surface condition, i.e., type of contaminants, depth, coverage for each runway third.
Other relevant information is reported in the situational awareness section of the RCR.
9.2.4 The RWYCC is derived from the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM), but the
descriptors used in Australia are limited to the information relevant to the range of meteorological
conditions likely to be experienced in Australia.

9.2.5 Pilot Reports About Braking Action


If the braking action experienced on a runway is different to that reported, pilots are requested to
inform ATC directly or submit an AIREP special. Pilots may also be asked by the ATC to report
their assessment of the braking action. Pilots should use the terms listed in the RCAM table
above or the AIREP template in APPENDIX 1.

9.3 DISSEMINATION OF RCR


9.3.1 RCR is only provided at controlled airports and only during ATS operating hours.
9.3.2 ATIS
ATIS is the primary means for communicating RCR information. The RCR will describe conditions
for each runway third in the direction of landing/take-off.

AIRFIELD CONDITION (AFCON) NOTAM IMPLEMENTATION IN FIJI


The implementation of the SNOWTAM format, which comes into effect 04 November 2021,
requires the upgrade of Fiji’s Aeronautical Message Handling System. However, due to the eco-
nomic impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the aviation industry, this upgrade has been
deferred to 2022. A procedural work around will be implemented until such time as the system
upgrade can be carried out.
This procedural work around will see the implementation of ‘AIRFIELD CONDITION’ (AFCON)
NOTAMs as an alternative to the ICAO required SNOWTAM.
Information concerning snow, slush, ice, frost, standing water, or water associated with snow,
slush, ice or frost on the movement area shall be disseminated by means of a SNOWTAM, and
shall contain the information in the order shown in the SNOWTAM Format in Appendix 4 of ICAO
Doc 10066 (PANS AIM). See also Jeppesen METEOROLOGY — GLOBAL REPORTING
FORMAT (GRF) FOR RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITIONS or TABLES AND CODES — SNOW-
TAM.
Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and current system limitations, Fiji will not be able
to disseminate the above information in the new SNOWTAM format. To mitigate any risks associ-
ated with this non-compliance to the issuance SNOWTAM, an alternative means of compliance
(AMC) will be implemented. This AMC will see the issuance of ‘AFCON NOTAMs’ which will con-
tain the same information that is required to be disseminated via SNOWTAM.
To meet the new SNOWTAM requirements and GRF on runway surface conditions applicable
from 04 November 2021, Fiji will implement the AFCON NOTAM procedures.
Due to the storage limitations in Fiji’s NOTAM Database System, effective from the 12th August
2021 at 0000 UTC, all departing international flights from Nadi and Nausori International Airports
shall obtain the latest SNOWTAMs from their airports of intended landing and current NOTAMs
from Nadi NOTAM Office as part of their Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PFIB).
The PIB online services available through the Fiji Airports Website will only disseminate current
NOTAMs and AFCONS NOTAMs originated by the Nadi NOTAM Office.

AFCON NOTAM PROCEDURES


Reporting surface conditions on runways, taxiways, and aprons using the AFCON NOTAM.
The keyword Aerodrome (AD) shall not be used with descriptor AFCON, except for Runway
(RWY), Taxiway (TWY) or Apron (APN).
AFCON NOTAMs are reported in thirds of the landing runway, except when reporting Slippery
When Wet.
For Runway Surface
METEOROLOGY DATA - FAR EAST 713
FIJI ISLANDS

As per GRF Runway surface conditions reporting RWY surface conditions are reported in thirds
as depicted above.
Runways are described using the following:
– RWY- keyword followed by
– a single runway direction designator (lower designator)
– Sentence “OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE…”
– word “AFCON” and
– Condition. Depth is required and a width is optional.
EXAMPLE: RWY 09 OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 3MM WATER
RWY 02 OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 6MM STANDING WATER
For Taxiway Surface
Taxiway are described using the following:
– TWY- keyword followed by
– a surface names
– Sentence “OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE…”
– word “AFCON” and
– Condition. Depth is required and a width is optional.
EXAMPLE: TWY A OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 3MM STANDING WATER…
TWY G OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 4MM STANDING WATER IN THE MIDDLE
PORTION OF THE TWY
TWY H OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 3.5MM STANDING WATER AT THE
HOLDING POINT TOWARDS RWY 09/27
For Apron Surface
Aprons are described using the following:
– APN- keyword followed by
– a surface name/designator/description/location,
– Sentence “OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE…”
– word “AFCON” and
– Condition. Depth is required and a width is optional
EXAMPLE: APN AT DOMESTIC TERMINAL OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 3MM
STANDING WATER…
METEOROLOGY DATA - FAR EAST 714
FIJI ISLANDS

COMPILATION OF AFCON NOTAM


The airport inspection team shall use the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM —
Appendix 1) to determine the Runway Condition Report (RCR) and fill in the NOTAM request form
accordingly.
EXAMPLE: Dry on one third of the RWY, wet on the 2nd third and Standing Water on the last
which will have the RCR of 6/3/2.
The AFCON NOTAM shall have the same fields and requirements for a NOTAM as documented
in ICAO Annex 15, ICAO Document 8126 and PANS AIM DOC 10066 but will have the word
AFCON inserted in field E to uniquely identify Airfield Condition and a few differences in the
description of the fields in the AFCON NOTAM.
The description of the fields in the AFCON NOTAM are as follows:
a. Field is affected airport;
b. Field is time of observation;
c. Field is 8 hours from time of observation.
The text field (E field) of the AFCON NOTAM shall be as described below:
– Surface Designator (lower designator) (RWY 02)
– The text shall follow “OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE…”
– AFCON. Insert “AFCON” after the surface designator and before the field condition.
– RCR. When generated, will be illustrated as either 2, 3, 5 or 6 and look similar to this format for
runway thirds (e.g. 3/5/2).
– Percentage of coverage on each third of the RWY (Insert NR at its relevant position in the mes-
sage to indicate to the user that no information exists)
– Depth of the CONTAMINANTS in each third of the RWY (Insert NR at its relevant position in
the message to indicate to the user that no information exists)
– Condition of each third to correspond to RCR. Report the contaminants per Appendix 1.
• RWY: Each third (touchdown, midpoint, and rollout) will include percentage, depth (when
required), and type of contaminant. Up to two separate contaminants can be reported per
runway third.
• A runway is dry when it is neither wet, nor contaminated.
• An AFCON NOTAM must not be originated for the sole purpose of reporting all thirds of a
runway are dry.
A dry surface must be reported only when there is need to report conditions on the remainder of
the surface. When describing a dry surface, it is considered the full length and width of the runway
third. DRY can be reported in two thirds and the remaining third have a different contaminant.
EXAMPLE: RWY 02 OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON DRY/STANDING WATER/
STANDING WATER
METEOROLOGY DATA - FAR EAST 715
FIJI ISLANDS

A runway is wet when there is any visible dampness or water that is up to and including 3mm in
depth. When describing a wet surface, include the percentage.
If all three thirds are identical in percentage, depth (when required) and type of contaminant, it is
shown in the NOTAM once.
EXAMPLE: RWY 09 OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 2/2/2 STANDING WATER
Taxiways and Aprons. The condition includes depth and type of contaminant.
NOTE: Free-form is an acceptable means of entering AFCONs for TWY and APRONs.
– Braking Action (BA). (APRONs, TWYs and Non-Paved RWYs). Report braking action on move-
ment areas: as good, good to medium; medium; medium to poor; or poor, as received from air-
side operations.
The worst runway braking action is shown by contaminant type and RCR.
NIL BRAKING
Reporting of a “NIL” braking condition is not permissible by Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji or for
international airports in Fiji. A “NIL” braking condition at these airports must be mitigated by clo-
sure of the affected surface.
• Paved surfaced runways cannot have a stand-alone BA NOTAM.
• Non-Paved surfaced runways can have BA, but as a stand-alone NOTAM.
• TWY/Apron can have BA as stand-alone or appended to field condition NOTAM.
EXAMPLE: TWY A OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON BRAKING ACTION GOOD TO
MEDIUM
TWY G OPERATIONAL BUT CTN ADZ DUE AFCON 3MM STANDING WATER BRAKING
ACTION MEDIUM
THE AFCON NOTAM EXAMPLE:
Report received that Nadi RWY 02 has been observed as:
– RCR of 3/2/6
– At 20% on 1st third, 25% on the second thence NR on the last
– Depth 4mm at the 1st third, 3mm in the 2nd and at the 3rd is NR
– Braking action: MEDIUM TO POOR
The NOTAM officer will issue the AFCON NOTAM as below:

Commencement of Procedures for Assessing and Reporting Runway Surface Conditions


From 1500 UTC 3 NOV 2021, according to ICAO ANNEX, procedures for assessing and reporting
runway surface conditions, commonly known as the Global Reporting Format (GRF) is implemen-
ted when snow or ice appears on aircraft moving area at airport.
The information shown below is to provide a supplementary explanation concerning application of
the procedures for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions in Japan.
a. Differences from ICAO standards, recommended practices and procedures
1. In Japan, friction measurements are made on runway surface conditions covered with
snow by using the friction measuring device agreed by the government for measure-
ment; the results are then reported.
2. In Japan, wet runway is not reported except for wet condition associated with snow or
ice, which mainly appears during winter season.
3. In Japan, FROST, STANDING WATER and LOOSE SAND, which have no possibility of
appearing on the runways throughout Japan, are not reported.
4. In Japan, the runway condition under CHEMICALLY TREATED is not reported.
b. Notification of runway surface conditions through SNOWTAM
SNOWTAM regarding runway, including Runway Condition Code (RWYCC), is dissemina-
ted. In Japan, downgrading is considered but upgrading is not when assigning RWYCC.
(See AIP AD1.2 for further information on SNOWTAM)
c. Notification of taxiway and apron conditions through NOTAM
In Japan, taxiway and apron inspections are made by using the friction measuring device
agreed by the government for measurement and NOTAM is issued as “POOR” when the fric-
tion coefficient is less than 0.26. If taxiways or aprons to be assessed are limited, taxiways
and aprons to be assessed are published in the JAPAN AIP — AD 2.7 SEASONAL AVAILA-
BILITY-CLEARING (not published herein).
d. Usage of pilot braking action report
Pilot braking action reports based on ANNEX 6 are used for:
1. Runway assessment by airport operator.
2. Information regarding runway condition provided by air traffic service unit.
e. Information regarding runway condition provided by air traffic service unit
The following terms are used:
1. RWYCC
Provided in order from the point in front of the aircraft.
RUNWAY [number] SURFACE CONDITION CODE, [number], [number], [number] AT
[time].
METEOROLOGY DATA - FAR EAST 726

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used for civil aviation.
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 732
AUSTRALIA

Date and time is indicated in a combination of the date and time in a single six figure group. How-
ever, a 10 figure group comprising the year, month, date, hours and minutes is used for NOTAM
and AIP supplements. This is reduced to an eight figure group (nil year) for SPFIB.

LOCAL TIME
Local time in Australia falls into three separate zones:

Time Zone Local Time States


Eastern Standard Time UTC + 10 hours New South Wales* (except the Broken Hill
(EST) area), Queensland, Victoria*, Tasmania*
and the Australian Capital Territory*
Central Standard Time UTC + 9 ½ hours South Australia*, the Northern Territory and
(CST) the Broken Hill area*
Western Standard Time UTC + 8 hours Western Australia
(WST)
NOTE: * Daylight Saving Time applies between October of one year and April of the following
year, which adds an additional hour to the local time of that State or area. NOTAM or AIP Sup-
plements will be issued detailing revised hours of operation during Daylight Saving Time where
such hours are not already promulgated in AlP.

FIRST LIGHT AND LAST LIGHT COMPUTATIONS


For all intents and purposes, ‘first light’ should be construed as the beginning of morning civil twi-
light, and ‘last light’ as the end of evening civil twilight.
To compute first light and last light using the graphs contained in this section:
a. enter the top or bottom of the scale at the appropriate date;
b. move vertically up or down to the curve for the latitude of the place concerned (interpolating
for intermediate latitudes if necessary);
c. move horizontally to the left or right and read local mean time (LMT) on the vertical scale at
the side;
d. to convert to UTC, subtract (in East longitudes) from the LMT obtained, the time increment
corresponding to the longitude of the place concerned in the “Conversion of Arc to Time”
table;
e. to convert to EST, add 10 hours to UTC;
f. to convert to CST, add 9 1/2 hours to UTC;
g. to convert to WST, add 8 hours to UTC.
EXAMPLE: To determine last light at Echuca (360900S 1444600E) on the 20th of November.
Using the graph, enter at 20 November at the top of the page and follow downwards to latitude
36° (by interpolation), then horizontally to the left and read off LMT = 1919. To convert to UTC,
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 733
AUSTRALIA

enter the “Conversion of Arc to Time” table at longitude 144° (9 hours 36 minutes). Add the incre-
ment corresponding to 46 minutes in the right hand column;
= 3' 04" + 0936 = 0939.
Subtract this from the LMT found; 1919 -0939 = 0940 UTC. To find EST add 10 hours to UTC =
1940 EST.
Users of these graphs should note that the parameters used in compiling the Time of First Light/
Last Light Graphs do not include the nature of the terrain surrounding a location, or the presence
of other than a cloudless sky and unlimited visibility at that location.
Consequently, the presence of cloud cover, poor visibility or high terrain to the west of an airport
will result in last light occurring at a time earlier than that extracted from the appropriate graph.
Allowance should be made for these factors when planning a flight having an ETA near the time
of last light.
NAIPS automatically computes first light and last light. This information can be provided through
pilot access, as part of a telephone briefing, or from FLIGHTWATCH.
Sunrise, sunset and civil twilight times (first and last light) can also be obtained from
www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/astro/sunrise.jsp.

VHF OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RADIO RANGE (VOR) — A VHF radio navigational aid which pro-
vides a continuous indication of bearing from the selected VOR ground station.
VISIBILITY — Visibility for aeronautical purposes is the greater of:
a. the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions situated near the
ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright background; or
b. the greatest distance at which lights in the vicinity of 1000 candelas can be seen and identi-
fied against an unlit background.
VISIBILITY MARKER — A dark object of suitable dimensions for use as a reference in evaluating
runway visibility.
VISUAL (ATC USAGE) — Used by ATC to instruct a pilot to see and avoid obstacles while con-
ducting flight below the MVA or MSA/LSALT.

3 SECURITY OF GENERAL AVIATION OPERATIONS


3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 Since late 2001, the Australian Government has circulated warnings concerning the possi-
bility of terrorist attacks against Australian civil aviation interests, including general aviation.
3.1.2 The general security environment in relation to general aviation has not changed in recent
years. Nevertheless, general aviation and charter industry personnel are urged to be particularly
vigilant and alert to any activities in the industry which may arouse suspicions in regard to possi-
ble terrorist actions.

3.2 ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY AROUSE SUSPICION


3.2.1 General aviation operators should be alert to the importance of reporting and/or resolving
any event or activity occurring in their operating environment that appears to be unusual or suspi-
cious.
3.2.2 Examples of suspicious behavior can include:
a. unusual inquiries regarding flight training (including the use of, or training in, crop dusters or
helicopters);
b. inquiries concerning aircraft configurations and capabilities;
c. loading and unloading of unusual or unauthorized cargo;
d. unusual activity relative to the use or acquisition of dangerous chemicals;
e. watching, observing, photographing, sketching, measuring and note taking;
f. examining or inquiring about security systems and guarding;
g. visiting airports and not conducting 'normal’ airport business;
h. avoiding notice around critical airport infrastructure or assets;

7 REGULATION OF FLIGHT
7.1 ASSESSMENT OF PRIORITIES
7.1.1 Subject to the duty to facilitate and maintain the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air
traffic, ATC will apply priorities in the following order:
a. An aircraft in an emergency, including being subjected to unlawful interference, will be given
priority in all circumstances.
b. A multi-engined aircraft which has suffered the loss of an engine and has not been subject to
a SAR phase, or has not been considered under the provision of paragraph a. above, shall
be granted priority for landing.
c. An aircraft which has suffered radio communications failure will be granted priority for land-
ing.
d. An aircraft participating in a Search and Rescue (SAR), Medical (MEDEVAC), or Fire and
Flood Relief (FFR) flights shall be granted priority as necessary.
e. An aircraft operating under police call sign “POLAIR RED” or “FEDPOL RED” engaged in

transport operations, State aircraft (other than training flights) and Medical Aircraft
(HOSP) operations; and
2. all other aircraft.
e. RVSM-approved aircraft will be given priority for level requests between FL290 and FL410
inclusive over aircraft not RVSM-approved;
f. Within ATS surveillance system coverage, identified aircraft may be given priority over non-
identified aircraft;
g. Inside military Restricted Areas and in the terminal area or control zone surrounding a mili-
tary airport, priorities will be determined by the controlling authority published in DAH. Military
airports do not include Darwin or Townsville;
h. For training flights:
1. training flights operating in the traffic pattern in general use will be given priority over
other training flights desiring to operate in conflicting patterns for training purposes; and
2. when a training instrument approach is approved, priority will be given to that aircraft
from the time it commences its final approach until the approach is completed.

8 FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE (FIS)


8.1 PILOT RESPONSIBILITY
8.1.1 Pilots are responsible for obtaining information necessary to make operational decisions.
To ensure that accurate information is obtained in adequate time, pilots must take into considera-
tion that ATC initiated FIS is limited to aircraft within one hours’ flight time of the condition or desti-
nation at time of receipt of the information by ATC. The only exception to this is SIGMET informa-
tion, which shall cover a portion of the route up to two hours’ flying time ahead of the aircraft.

8.2 PREFLIGHT INFORMATION


8.2.1 The Preflight Briefing Service is primarily an automated service. Pilots are encouraged to
obtain preflight briefing, either via the self-help electronic systems or through the Briefing Offices.
8.2.2 For pilots who require an elaborative briefing, contact numbers for ATS and Bureau of
Meteorology Staff are available from the Briefing Offices.
8.2.3 Pilots must obtain an appropriate preflight briefing before departure from those places
where suitable facilities exist. Where suitable facilities are not available, a briefing may be
obtained from “FLIGHTWATCH” as soon as practicable after the flight commences. The informa-
tion requested should be confined to data considered essential for the safe conduct of the flight to
the first point of intended landing where additional information can be obtained.
8.2.4 Preflight briefing will not normally be provided on ATC communications channels.

8.3 IN-FLIGHT INFORMATION


8.3.1 The in-flight information service consists of three elements:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 788
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

a. ATC Initiated FIS;


b. Automatic Broadcast Services; and
c. On-Request Service.

8.4 ATC INITIATED FIS


8.4.1 ATC provides pilots with pertinent information that will affect flight within one hour’s flight
time (two hours for SIGMET). At the time the information is identified, information will be directed
to pilots maintaining continuous communications and broadcast on appropriate ATS frequencies.

8.5 AUTOMATIC TERMINAL INFORMATION SERVICE (ATIS)


8.5.1 Operational information required by aircraft for takeoff or landing is broadcast on a dedica-
ted frequency and/or on the voice channel of radio navigation aids.
8.5.2 Outside the hours of tower activation, operational information of an unchanging nature
may be broadcast over ATIS.

8.6 AERODROME FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE (AFIS)


8.6.1 An AFIS provides pilots with an alerting service, local traffic and operational information on
the CTAF assigned to the particular airport.
8.6.2 Essential airport information is provided by an Automatic Aerodrome Information Service
(AAIS) broadcast on a dedicated frequency (similar to ATIS) during AFIS HRS.

8.7 TRAFFIC INFORMATION


8.7.1 A traffic information service is provided, depending on higher priority duties of the control-
ler or other limitations; e.g. surveillance limitations, volume of traffic and/or frequency congestion.
Additionally, controllers may not be able to provide traffic information concerning all traffic in the
aircraft’s proximity. Traffic information does not relieve pilots of their responsibility to see and
avoid other aircraft.
8.7.2 In Class G airspace, a traffic information service is provided to IFR flights about other con-
flicting IFR and observed VFR flights except:
a. An IFR flight reporting taxiing or airborne at a non-controlled airport will be advised of con-
flicting IFR traffic that is not on the CTAF; and
b. An IFR flight inbound to a non-controlled airport will be advised of conflicting IFR traffic until
the pilot reports changing to the CTAF.
8.7.3 A Surveillance Information Service (SIS) is available on request, to VFR flights in classes
E and G airspace within ATS surveillance system coverage, subject to ATC workload. Pilots
receiving a SIS are provided with traffic information, an alerting service and on request position or
navigation information.
NOTE: All information is advisory in nature. The pilot remains responsible for terrain clearance,
aircraft-to-aircraft separation and obtaining clearances into controlled airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 789
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

8.7.4 Pilots wishing to receive a SIS must be in direct VHF communications with ATC and
equipped with a serviceable SSR transponder or ADS-B transmitter. The pilot must maintain a
continuous listening watch with ATC, advise ATC prior to any changes to track or level and advise
prior to leaving the frequency.
8.7.5 SIS may be terminated at any time by the controller, or by pilot advice.

8.8 On-Request Service — ATC and FLIGHTWATCH


8.8.1 An On-Request FIS is available to aircraft in all classes of airspace on ATC VHF or HF
(Domestic and International) frequencies.
8.8.2 Information derived from BoM weather radar sites is available to pilots on request, subject
to ATS workload.

9 ALERTING SERVICE
9.1 An Alerting Service will be provided:
a. for all aircraft provided with ATC service;
b. in so far as practicable, to all other aircraft having filed a flight plan or otherwise known to the
air traffic services; and
c. to any aircraft known or believed to be the subject of unlawful interference.

10 SAFETY ALERTS AND AVOIDING ACTION


10.1 ATC will issue a Safety Alert to aircraft, in all classes of airspace, when they become aware
that an aircraft is in a situation that is considered to place it in unsafe proximity to:
a. terrain;
b. obstruction;
c. active restricted or prohibited areas; or
d. other aircraft.
10.2 When providing an ATS surveillance service, ATC will issue avoiding action advice as a
priority, when they become aware that an aircraft is at risk of collision with another aircraft.

11 TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)


11.1 TIBA PROCEDURES
11.1.1 TIBA procedures are intended to permit reports and relevant supplementary information
of an advisory nature to be transmitted by pilots for the information of pilots of other aircraft in the
vicinity.

11.2 FREQUENCY
11.2.1 Aircraft must maintain a listening watch on the appropriate TIBA frequency. Where VHF
is used for air-ground communications with ATS and an aircraft has two serviceable VHF sets,
one must be tuned to the appropriate ATS frequency and the other to the TIBA frequency.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 790
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

11.2.2 The appropriate TIBA frequencies are:


a. at or above FL200, 128.95 MHz;
b. below FL200:
1. In Class G airspace other than in oceanic areas, the relevant Area VHF;
2. otherwise 126.35 MHz.

11.3 LISTENING WATCH


11.3.1 A listening watch must be maintained on the TIBA frequency 10 minutes before entering
the designated airspace until leaving this airspace. For an aircraft taking off from an airport loca-
ted within 10 minutes flying time of that airspace, listening watch must start as soon as practicable
after takeoff.

11.4 TIME OF BROADCASTS


11.4.1 Broadcasts must be made:
a. 10 minutes before entering the designated airspace or, for an aircraft taking off from an air-
port located within 10 minutes flying time of the airspace, as soon as practicable after take-
off;
b. 10 minutes prior to crossing a reporting point;
c. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS contingency route;
d. at 20 minute intervals between distant reporting points;
e. 2 to 5 minutes, where possible, before a change in flight level;
f. at the time of a change in flight level; and
g. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.

11.5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BROADCASTS


11.5.1 Broadcasts should not be acknowledged unless a potential collision risk exists.

11.6 CHANGES OF CRUISING LEVEL


11.6.1 Cruising level changes should not be made within the designated airspace unless consid-
ered necessary by the pilots to avoid traffic conflicts, for weather avoidance, or for other valid
operational reasons.
11.6.2 When changes to cruising level are unavoidable, all available aircraft lighting which would
improve the visual detection of the aircraft must be displayed while changing levels.
11.6.3 When a change of level is anticipated or initiated, a change of level report must be made.
When the new level is reached, a report advising that the aircraft is maintaining the new level
must be made.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 791
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

11.7 COLLISION AVOIDANCE


11.7.1 If on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that
immediate action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk to the aircraft, and this cannot
be achieved in accordance with the right of way provisions or TCAS resolution, the pilot should:
a. unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 1000 ft if
above FL410, or 500 ft if at or below FL410;
b. display all available aircraft lighting which would improve visual detection of the aircraft;
c. as soon as possible, reply to the broadcast advising action being taken;
d. notify the action taken on the appropriate TIBA frequency; and
e. as soon as practicable, resume normal flight level, notifying the action taken on the appropri-
ate TIBA frequency.
11.7.2 NAS Implementation Stage 2B, Operation “Lights On” encourages pilots to turn on exter-
nal aircraft lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, to enhance the see-and-avoid
concept.
All pilots are encouraged to participate in this voluntary safety program, unless operating condi-
tions warrant turning lights off (e.g., strobes should be off when in the clouds; strobes and landing
lights should be off when clear of the runway so as not to blind ground personnel or other pilots).
External aircraft lights should be turned on when operating on the ground or in flight below 10,000
feet; especially when operating within 10 nautical miles of any airport or in conditions of reduced
visibility.
Though Operation “Lights On” enhances the “see and be seen” concept, pilots should not become
complacent about keeping a sharp lookout for other aircraft. Adopting “Lights On” procedures
does not reduce pilots’ responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A).

11.8 POSITION REPORTING


11.8.1 Normal position reporting procedures should be continued at all times, regardless of any
action taken to initiate or acknowledge a traffic information broadcast.
11.8.2 A position report must be made on the next CTA/Area VHF 15 minutes prior to leaving
the airspace in which TIBA procedures apply to obtain a clearance or re-establish SARWATCH
on the appropriate ATS frequency.

12 INFORMATION BY PILOTS
12.1 A pilot-in-command becoming aware of any irregularity of operation of any navigational or
communications facility or service or other hazard to navigation must report the details as soon as
practicable. Reports must be made to the appropriate ATS unit, except that defects or hazards on
a landing area must be reported to the person or authority granting use of the area.
Pilots are requested to advise ATS about any deterioration or improvement of reported runway
surface conditions, deceleration, and/or directional control. See ATC — FLIGHT PLANNING —
APPENDIX 1 (AIREP) and EMERGENCY — RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SERVICES AND
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 792
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

SNOW PLAN — Runway Surface Condition Assessment and Reporting for details about Runway
Condition Reports (RCR) and reporting deceleration and directional control.
12.3 During the bush fire danger period, pilots-in-command of aircraft should notify the nearest
ATS unit promptly of any evidence of bush fires observed, which they believe have not been pre-
viously reported.
12.4 Australian Customs and Border Protection (Customs) is the government civil surveillance
organization which coordinates aerial patrols of border and offshore areas to detect breaches of
Customs, Fisheries, Quarantine and Immigration legislation.
12.5 Pilots are invited to assist Customs by reporting activities which appear to warrant record-
ing or investigation. Reports should be made to the in-contact ATS unit. Observations warranting
a report include:
a. observed marine pollution (including oil slicks);
b. shipping abnormalities;
c. other unusual activities within approximately 300 NM of the coastline;
d. suspicious activities of unidentified itinerant aircraft, especially if there is a suggestion that
they are travelling from or to an overseas destination;
e. aircraft signalling the ground or dropping objects;
f. aircraft operating at night without navigation lights;
g. aircraft operating from non-airport sites or unexplained or unusual activity at airports or
remote strips;
h. possible illegal fishing within the 200 NM fishing zone;
i. possible smuggling of drugs or other prohibited goods;
j. possible illegal immigrants entering Australia;
k. unauthorized landings by sea or air;
l. threats to the well being of the Great Barrier Reef or other environmentally significant areas;
and
m. unusual activities in remote areas.
12.5.1 Such reports should be elaborated on at debriefing.
12.6 Observed volcanic activity must be included in an AIREP.
12.7 All air crews are to report immediately by radio to the appropriate ATC facility, any inci-
dents of unauthorized laser illumination. Reports should include event position, altitude, color of
laser beam(s), originating direction and position, and any other relevant information deemed nec-
essary for ATC and law enforcement action.
12.8 Air crews flying in Class G airspace are also requested to immediately broadcast a general
laser illumination caution on the appropriate CTAF. This general caution should include the follow-
ing elements:

1 CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
1.1 GENERAL
1.1.1 Controlled airspace is defined as “airspace of defined dimensions within which air traffic
control services are provided to IFR flights and to VFR flights in accordance with the airspace
classification”.
1.1.2 Controlled airspace is a generic term which, in Australia, covers ATS airspace classes A,
C, D and E.
Controlled airspace is established generally on the basis of the kinds of operations and considera-
tions of flight procedures used. Such airspace does not necessarily cover routes to alternate air-
ports.
1.1.4 Controlled airspace within the Brisbane and Melbourne FIRs is generally established as
follows:

CLASS OF
APPLICATION
AIRSPACE
– within radar coverage - lower limit above FL180 and upper limit FL600;
– outside radar coverage - lower limit FL245 and upper limit FL600; and
Class A
– an area extending from 90 NM south of Melbourne to Launceston and Ho-
bart, lower limit of FL180 and upper limit FL600.
– within radar coverage south of Sydney, lower limit FL125 and upper limit
FL180 under Class A airspace;
Class C – in the control area steps associated with controlled airports, excluding control
area steps classified as Class D airspace; and
– in control zones of defined dimensions.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 795
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

CLASS OF
APPLICATION
AIRSPACE
Control zones of defined dimensions, and associated control area steps, upper
Class D
limit 4500 ft.
– within radar coverage:
• south of Sydney, lower limit 8500 ft and upper limit FL125 under Class C
airspace;
• north of Sydney, lower limit 8500 ft and upper limit FL125.
– in the vicinity of Williamtown: coincident with the lateral limits of R578A-E
above A045 — when R578 is not active;
– continental Australia, lower limit FL125 and upper limit FL245 under Class A
airspace;
– in the control area steps associated with Class D controlled airports excluding
Class E Class D or C airspace:
• Karratha Class E lower limit 5500 ft to upper limit FL125;
• Broome Class E lower limit 1200 ft AGL to upper limit FL125;
• Avalon Class E lower limit 700 ft AGL to upper limit 4500 ft;
• Mackay Class E lower limit 700 ft AGL to upper limit 4500 ft;
• Rockhampton Class E lower limit 700 ft AGL to upper limit 4500 ft.
– in the control area steps associated with Class C controlled airports excluding
Class C airspace:
• Perth Class E lower limit 8500 ft to upper limit FL125.

1.1.5 Operations in control areas and zones must be conducted in accordance with the pub-
lished procedures and requirements for that specific airspace and air traffic clearances. Special
procedures may also be specified for an airport within a control zone.
1.1.6 The extent of controlled airspace is depicted on Enroute/Area charts and may be promul-
gated by NOTAM or AIP Supplements.
1.1.7 When ATS airspaces adjoin vertically (one above the other), flights at the common level
must comply with the requirements of, and will be given services applicable to, the less restrictive
class of airspace. In applying these criteria, Class C airspace is considered less restrictive than
Class A airspace; Class D airspace is considered less restrictive than Class C airspace, etc.
NOTE: Super, Heavy or Medium Wake Turbulence category aircraft may be operating at the base
and near the boundaries of controlled airspace. Aircraft operating in Class G airspace in the vicin-
ity of controlled airspace may be affected by wake turbulence from aircraft operating within con-
trolled airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 796
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

1.1.8 When airspace classes adjoin laterally or vertically, flights at the common boundary will be
given services applicable to the lower class of airspace (where A is the highest and G is the
lowest).

1.2 CONTROL AREAS


1.2.1 A control area (CTA) is defined as “a controlled airspace extending upwards from a speci-
fied limit above the earth”. Control areas normally operate continuously. Areas identified by the
word NOTAM may be activated, or additional areas may be established to meet temporary
requirements, by the issuance of a NOTAM or AIP Supplement (SUP).

1.3 CONTROL ZONE


1.3.1 A control zone (CTR) is defined as a controlled airspace extending upwards from the sur-
face of the earth to a specified upper limit. CTRs surround controlled airports and are designated
as follows:
a. Civil CTR — A CTR administered by a civil air navigation service provider, other than a mili-
tary CTR. Class C or Class D procedures and services apply.
b. Military CTR — A CTR administered by the Australian Defense Force. Class C procedures
and services apply to civil flights.
1.3.2 CTRs are active during the hours of the operation of the control tower as published in Air-
port Directory or as varied by NOTAM.
NOTE: MIL CTRs may be activated at short notice. Pilots should plan their operations on the
basis that CTRs are active unless advised to the contrary.

1.4 AUTHORIZATION OF CIVIL FLIGHTS IN MILITARY CTRs AND OTHER


MILITARY ADMINISTERED AIRSPACE
1.4.1 Civil flights in Military CTRs and other military administered airspace may be authorized
subject to military activity, weather and any special procedures for the control of civil aircraft which
have been published.

1.5 RELEASE OF CONTROL AREAS, CONTROL ZONES AND MILITARY


RESTRICTED AREAS
1.5.1 Control Areas and Control Zones (civil or military), either wholly or in part, may be
released to another ATS unit (civil or military). The airspace remains active and a clearance is
required to enter.
1.5.2 The responsibility for a Military Restricted Area, either wholly or in part, may be transferred
to a civil ATS unit. The released airspace remains active and a clearance or approval, as appro-
priate, is required to enter.
1.5.3 The service provided to aircraft within released airspace will be:
a. for Restricted Areas — in accordance with the established airspace classification depicted
on AIP MAP or in DAH (i.e., the airspace classification when the PRD is not active).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 797
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

b. For control areas or control zones — in accordance with the airspace classification for the
airspace when it is active.
1.5.4 ATC will advise pilots of the level of service they will receive when granting approval or
clearance to enter a released area from Class E or G airspace, or if the level of service will be in
accordance with Class E or G within the released area.

2 PROVISION OF SEPARATION IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 In Class A airspace, IFR flights only are permitted. All flights are provided with an air traffic
control service and are separated from each other.
2.1.2 In Class C airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted. All flights are provided with an air
traffic control service and IFR flights are separated from other IFR, Special VFR, and VFR flights.
VFR flights are separated from IFR flights and receive traffic information in respect of other VFR
flights. Special VFR flights are separated from other Special VFR flights when visibility is less than
VMC.
2.1.3 In Class D airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted and all flights are provided with an
air traffic control service. IFR flights are separated from other IFR and Special VFR flights, and
receive traffic information in respect of VFR flights. VFR flights receive traffic information in
respect of all other flights. Special VFR flights are separated from other Special VFR flights when
visibility is less than VMC.
2.1.4 In Class E airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted. IFR flights are provided with an air
traffic control service, are separated from other IFR flights, and receive traffic information on VFR
flights as far as is practicable. VFR flights, within coverage, receive a Surveillance Information
Service (SIS) on request.
2.1.5 At controlled airports, ATC provides runway separation to all aircraft.
2.1.6 Flight at the common vertical or lateral boundary between airspace classes will receive
services in accordance with the airspace of lower alphabetical categorization (where Class A is
the highest and Class G is the lowest).

2.2 SPECIAL PROVISIONS


2.2.1 Notwithstanding the general provisions of the previous paragraph, the following also apply:
a. The separation of aircraft taxiing on the maneuvering area (which does not include apron
and parking areas) is a joint pilot and controller responsibility. The pilot must maintain sepa-
ration while complying with clearances and instructions.
b. In the traffic circuit, pilots are required to position their aircraft in such a manner that, while
complying with clearances and instructions from ATC, they maintain the necessary separa-
tion from other traffic.
c. Separation is not normally provided within a training area in controlled airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 798
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

d. Under certain conditions, the pilot of one aircraft may be given the responsibility for separa-
tion with other aircraft. In this circumstance:
1. the pilot is also responsible for the provision of wake turbulence separation;
2. the pilot must advise ATC when they are unable to maintain, or has lost, sight of the
other aircraft;
3. where an aircraft has been instructed to maintain own separation from an IFR aircraft,
ATC will issue traffic information to the pilot of the IFR aircraft, including advice that
responsibility for separation has been assigned to the other aircraft; and
4. aircraft flying in formation will not be provided with separation with respect to other air-
craft of the same formation, including take off and landing.
5. aircraft flying as part of an in-company flight will not be provided with separation with
respect to other aircraft of the same in-company flight whilst airborne. Runway separa-
tion will continue to be provided.
e. ATC will consider a formation of aircraft broken and will therefore process aircraft individually
from the time the formation aircraft are:
1. cleared to carry out touch-and-go landings;
2. required to go-around; or
3. cleared to carry out individual activities.
NOTE: A group of civil aircraft conducting the same flight (e.g. an air safari), which require the
aircraft to operate at separation distances greater than those specified for formation flights will be
considered to be separate aircraft when applying separation.

3 CLASS G AIRSPACE
3.1 FLIGHT INFORMATION AREAS
3.1.1 Non-controlled airspace in the Brisbane FIR and Melbourne FIR is classified as Class “G”
airspace.
3.1.2 North of 65° South, Class “G” airspace is divided into designated Flight Information Areas
(FIAs) within which a Flight Information Service (FIS) and SAR alerting services are provided by
an ATS unit.
3.1.3 On and north of 65° South, in Class “G” airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted. IFR
flights receive traffic information and a flight information service. VFR flights receive a flight infor-
mation service and may receive a surveillance information service if requested (ATC workload
permitting).
3.1.4 South of 65° South, in Class “G” airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted and all flights
receive a flight information service on request.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 799

3.2 BROADCAST AREAS


3.2.1 Broadcast Areas are defined airspace volumes that form part of a Flight Information Area
and have a discrete frequency (CTAF).
NOTE: The conditions described at paras 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 apply.
3.2.2 The vertical boundaries of a Broadcast Area:
a. Surface to 5000 ft AMSL (default); or
b. Surface to the base of CTA if 8500 ft or less; or
c. Surface to a nominated level.
3.2.3 Broadcast Areas may be subject to mandatory broadcast requirements.

4 AIRSPACE RESERVATION, PROHIBITED, RESTRICTED AND


DANGER AREAS
4.1 AIRSPACE RESERVATION
4.1.1 A designated airspace or portion thereof under the control of another authority may be
reserved to allow the following:
a. flights of special military significance requiring the use of controlled airspace, which would be
subject to unacceptable restrictions if normal operations applied;
b. civil flights requiring passage through a military airspace when weather conditions or other
factors make flight on the normal air route inadvisable, or impossible, and when other routes
are unavailable, or the use of such routes would impose severe economic penalties on the
operation of the aircraft.
4.1.2 There are two types of airspace reservations: fixed defined areas, and “mobile” (e.g.,
aerial refueling, enroute formation flights, etc.). Such reservations are normally only applied
during limited periods. A designated airspace or portion thereof under the control of a military ATC
Authority may also be reserved to confine particular activities. In such airspace RAAF ATC shall
be responsible for the provision of separation for transiting civil or military aircraft from areas
reserved or restricted for current air defence operations.

4.2 GENERAL
4.2.1 Airspace in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations may exist and all areas over
which the operation of civil aircraft may be restricted are promulgated as follows:
a. Prohibited Area: Airspace within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.
b. Restricted Area: Airspace within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with
specified conditions.
c. Danger Area: Airspace within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at
specified times.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 800
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

4.2.2 The boundaries, identification and hours of operation of the areas are portrayed on appro-
priate Enroute/Area and Terminal charts. The letters allocated for identification are:

P = Prohibited area
R = Restricted area
D = Danger area

and the number identifies the area.


4.2.2.1 When used internationally, the identification of these areas are preceded by a FIR identi-
fier as follows:

Brisbane = YB
Melbourne = YM

Prohibited, Restricted and Danger Area numbers in the 900 series are allocated for temporary
special use airspace such as military exercises, air shows and special events.
These areas are promulgated by AIP SUP, or NOTAM as Brisbane FIR (YBBB) or Melbourne FIR
(YMMM) as appropriate for the location.
4.2.3 Unless otherwise specified, vertical limits are promulgated as above MSL when at or
below the transition altitude, or as a flight level when above the transition altitude. “NOTAM” indi-
cates that the vertical limits or hours of activation will be notified by NOTAM.
4.2.4 The promulgated vertical limits of prohibited and restricted areas include all the buffers
necessary for the protection of aircraft operating outside these areas. Therefore, the promulgated
levels may be used by aircraft avoiding the areas, except where the vertical limit abuts controlled
airspace, in which case, a clearance is required.

4.3 FLIGHT WITHIN PROHIBITED, RESTRICTED AND DANGER AREAS


4.3.1 Flight within a prohibited area is not permitted in any circumstances.
4.3.2 Flight within active Restricted Areas is subject to the conditions published in AIP and
NOTAM. To obtain access to a restricted area or airspace pilots must request approval from the
Controlling Authority. When an ATC service is available within that airspace, approval may be
requested from ATC directly, in the same manner as a clearance request to enter controlled air-
space.
NOTE: Clearances may be withheld when activities hazardous to the aircraft are taking place, or
when those activities require absolute priority.
4.3.2.1 In order to assist with shared use of airspace, all restricted areas have been allocated an
RA conditional status. This status will give an indication as to the likelihood of obtaining a clear-
ance to fly through restricted airspace. NOTAMs may be issued to indicate changes to the RA
conditional status; which should be checked prior to flight planning.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 801
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

4.3.2.2 RA CONDITIONAL STATUS LEGEND: Conditional Status RA1: Pilots may flight plan
through the Restricted Area and under normal circumstances expect a clearance from ATC.
Conditional Status RA2: Pilots must not flight plan through the Restricted Area unless on a route
specified in the Jeppesen Enroute Preferred Routes or under agreement with the Department of
Defence, however a clearance from ATC is not assured. Other tracking may be offered through
the Restricted Area on a tactical basis.
Conditional Status RA3: Pilots must not flight plan through the Restricted Area and clearances will
not be available.
NOTE: In a declared emergency, every effort will be made to obtain approval to transit a Restric-
ted Area, irrespective of its conditional status.
4.3.2.3 If the conditional status is uncertain, treat the airspace as conditional status RA3 and
avoid the area.
4.3.3 Civil aircraft operating in military Restricted areas or airspace in which a military service is
provided will receive a service equivalent to that of Class C airspace, unless specified otherwise.
4.3.4 When compliance with an air traffic clearance requires flight:
a. from controlled airspace into an adjoining active restricted area or airspace; or
b. through an active restricted area or airspace into adjoining controlled airspace; or
c. through an active restricted area or airspace within controlled airspace,
the pilot-in-command may assume that ATC has obtained approval for the flight.
4.3.5 Approval for flight within an active danger area outside controlled airspace is not required.
However it is the responsibility of the PIC to be aware of the dangerous activity and take appropri-
ate precautions.
4.3.6 PRD areas may be activated or deactivated at short notice. Access to a Restricted area
may be available if the activity for which it has been activated has ceased (early deactivation). It is
a pilot responsibility to check current status with ATS.

4.4 DEACTIVATION OF CONTROL ZONES, RESTRICTED OR DANGER


AREAS
4.4.1 The published cessation time of a control zone, Restricted or Danger Area may be amen-
ded:
a. without issue of a NOTAM provided the new cessation time is within one hour prior to the
original published cessation time, or
b. with subsequent issue of a NOTAM when the deactivation is one hour or more prior to the
original published cessation time.
4.4.2 Any amendments to the published cessation time of a control zone, Restricted or Danger
Area will be notified to affected pilots in accordance with ATC — AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND
SERVICES — Flight Information Services (FIS).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 802

AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

4.4.3 Non-controlled airport procedures apply to all military airports when the CTR is deactiva-
ted.

5 LANES OF ENTRY
5.1 Lanes of entry are established to permit passage to and from specified Class “D” CTR with-
out entering an adjacent Class “C” or military CTR. The vertical limits provide separation from
overlying control or restricted areas.
5.2 When using these lanes, pilots must:
a. operate under the VFR;
b. conform with the general flight rules regarding terrain clearance, flight over populous areas
and low level restricted areas;
c. operate not higher than the altitude specified as the upper limit in the section being flown;
and
d. keep to the right.

1 LIMITATIONS FOR LICENSED AIRPORTS


1.1 GENERAL
1.1.1 The Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method is
used to specify the strength of pavements and hence permissible aircraft masses.
1.1.2 The operation of an aircraft above the maximum masses and tire pressures is not permit-
ted unless a pavement concession is approved.
1.1.2.1 The minimum widths of runways and runways strips required by various types of aircraft
are specified in Runway Width below.
1.1.3 Operators of non-scheduled aircraft requiring to park on aprons used by scheduled serv-
ices should check parking availability with the Airport Operator at least 48 hours before the opera-
tion.

1.2 CARE OF PAVEMENTS


1.2.1 Pilots should avoid running aircraft wheels close to edges of pavements or on to the
shoulders of either runways or taxiways.
1.2.2 Tight turns on runways should be avoided and turning nodes, where provided, should be
used. Locked wheel turns, in particular, should be avoided.

1.3 PROCEDURES FOR GROUND OPERATION OF TURBO-JET AIRCRAFT


1.3.1 Whenever an engine other than the APU, of a turbo-jet aircraft is operating on the ground,
the aircraft’s anti-collision light(s) must be displayed, thereby indicating to pilots of other aircraft to
exercise caution. Military turbo-jet aircraft should always be treated with caution as their anti-colli-
sion lights may not be displayed even though an engine is running.

2 SUITABILITY OF AIRPORTS
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 The following procedures are an acceptable means of compliance with the requirements of
CASR 91.055 in relation to the suitability of an airport:
a. Pilots should verify that the intended airport meets the requirements of CASR 91.410 as
regards to its suitability for the intended operation. Additionally, pilots should confirm with the
airport operator that the pavement strength of the airport meets the standards required by
the aircraft being operated. Pilots should also be aware that CASR Parts 121, 133, 135, and
138 may place additional airport requirements for a particular flight or type of operation.
b. Pilots should ensure that runway edge lighting, threshold lighting, illuminated wind direction
indicator, and any obstacle lighting (if required) is serviceable for any planned night opera-
tions. Additional lighting may be required for particular operations – refer to the applicable
regulation.
c. When airport lighting is required and PAL is not being used, the pilot in command or operator
should ensure that arrangements have been made for the runway, obstacle and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 806

AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

(I) departure: from at least 10 minutes before departure to at least 30 minutes after take-
off;
(II) arrival: from at least 30 minutes before ETA to the time landing and taxiing has been
completed.
NOTE 1: An operator planning a flight by an aircraft with tire pressures and/or weight in excess of
that permitted by AIRPORT DIRECTORY — PAVEMENT STRENGTH LIMITATIONS must
ensure that a pavement concession is obtained..
NOTE 2: Emergency Landings. When safety is involved, the nearest airport which will permit a
landing without danger to the aircraft may be used, irrespective of the damage that may be
caused to the pavement.
NOTE 3: Airport lighting at an airport where a control tower is operating will be activated by ATC
as necessary. Pilots requiring airport lighting outside the control tower’s published hours should
use PAL, if available, or make appropriate arrangements with ATC. If ATC has already ceased
duty, requests should be directed to the local airport operator. Confirmation should be obtained
that requests for lighting will be satisfied.
NOTE 4: A pilot having made arrangements with ATS for night lighting must notify any change in
requirements.
NOTE 5: Additional details on acceptable means of compliance refer to are contained in the Part
91 AMC/GM document entries related to CASR 91.410, and, for Part 121 operations, the Part 121
AMC/GM document entry related to CASR 121.205.

2.2 RUNWAY WIDTH


2.2.1 Specific limitations apply to all Part 121 operations and certain Part 135 operations. Refer
to CASR Parts 121 and 135, and any applicable directions or exemptions.

3 ALTERNATE AIRPORTS
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 Except for Part 121 operations, a pilot in command must make provision for flight to an
alternate airport, when required, in accordance with the following paragraphs of this section (i.e.
all of section 3).
NOTE: The requirements related to Part 121 alternate airports are contained in Chapter 4 of the
Part 121 MOS, with interlinkages to Chapters 2 and 7 of the Part 121 MOS.
3.1.2 When a flight is required to provide for an alternate airport, any airport may be so nomina-
ted for that flight provided:
a. it is suitable as a destination for that flight; and
b. it is not an airport for which that flight would require to provide for an alternate airport; and
c. is not a helideck.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 807
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

3.1.3 When an airport forecast is not available, the pilot in command must make provision for a
suitable alternate that has an available forecast.

3.2 WEATHER CONDITIONS


3.2.1 Except when operating an aircraft under the VFR by day within 50 NM of the point of
departure, the pilot-in-command must provide for a suitable alternate airport when arrival at the
destination will be during the currency of, or up to 30 minutes prior to the forecast commencement
of, the following weather conditions:
a. cloud — more than SCT below the alternate minimum (see paragraphs 3.2.10 and 3.2.11);
or
NOTE: In determining requirements for alternate airports, forecast amounts of cloud below
the alternate minima are cumulative. For determining requirements, the cumulative cloud
amount is interpreted as follows:
FEW plus FEW is equivalent to SCT
FEW plus SCT is equivalent to BKN
SCT plus SCT is equivalent to BKN or OVC
b. visibility — less than the alternate minimum; or
c. visibility — greater than the alternate minimum but the forecast is endorsed with at least a
30% probability of fog, mist, dust or any other phenomenon restricting visibility below the
alternate minimum; or
d. a thunderstorm or associated severe turbulence, or a forecast of at least a 30% probability of
such an event; or
e. wind — a crosswind or tailwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft.
NOTE: Wind gusts must be considered.
3.2.2 When operating a helicopter under the VFR, and the use of helicopter VMC is permissible
at the destination, the pilot-in-command must provide for a suitable alternate airport when either
of the following conditions is forecast at the destination:
a. cloud — more than SCT below a ceiling of 1000 ft; or
b. visibility — less than 3000m.
3.2.3 When weather conditions at the destination are forecast to be as specified at para 3.2.1,
but are expected to improve at a specific time, provision for an alternate airport need not be made
if sufficient fuel is carried to allow the aircraft to hold until that specified time plus 30 minutes.
3.2.4 When weather conditions at the destination are forecast to be above the values specified
in paragraph 3.2.1, but, additionally, intermittent or temporary deteriorations in the weather below
the values are forecast, provision for an alternate need not be made if sufficient fuel is carried to
allow the aircraft to hold for:
a. 30 minutes for intermittent deterioration (INTER); and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 808
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

b. 60 minutes for temporary deterioration (TEMPO).


3.2.5 When thunderstorms or their associated severe turbulence or their probability is forecast
at the destination, sufficient fuel must be carried to permit the aircraft to proceed to a suitable
alternate or to hold for:
a. 30 minutes when the forecast is endorsed INTER; or
b. 60 minutes when the forecast is endorsed TEMPO.
3.2.6 When a forecast has multiple INTER or TEMPO deteriorations and holding fuel will be car-
ried, fuel must be carried to hold for only the most limiting requirement. INTER and TEMPO hold-
ing fuel requirements are not cumulative.
3.2.7 When TAFs include a FM or a BECMG, causing an operational requirement to either
become effective or be removed, the timing for the change in operational requirement is as fol-
lows:
a. When the weather following the FM or BECMG is forecast to create an operational require-
ment, that operational requirement will become effective 30 minutes before the start of the
FM time or 30 minutes before the start of the BECMG period.
b. When the weather following the FM or BECMG is forecast to remove an operational require-
ment, that operational requirement will remain effective until 30 minutes after the FM time or
30 minutes after the end of the BECMG period.
3.2.8 The fuel required by paragraphs 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 must be carried when the ETA of the air-
craft at its destination or alternate falls within the period 30 minutes before the forecast com-
mencement time to 30 minutes after the expected time of cessation of these deteriorations. If the
holding time required by paragraphs 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 extends past 30 minutes after the forecast ces-
sation of these deteriorations, the aircraft need only carry sufficient fuel to hold until 30 minutes
after the forecast cessation time.
3.2.9 At airports receiving a TAF3 service, and only during the first 3 hours of the TAF3 validity,
not beyond the end time for the TAF3 service if such a time is specified, the following do not
apply:
a. 30 minute buffers required by paras 3.2.7 and 3.2.8; and
b. the alternate or holding fuel required by:
1. para 3.2.1 (c) for reduction in visibility, or
2. para 3.2.5 for any PROB30 or PROB40 for TS or associated severe turbulence.
3.2.10 For IFR flights the alternate minima are as follows:
a. For airports with an Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) that the pilot is able to conduct,
the alternate minima published on the Jeppesen Approach charts.
b. By day only — for airports without an IAP, or that has an IAP but the pilot is unable to con-
duct that procedure, the alternate minima is the lowest safe altitude for the final route seg-
ment plus 500 ft and a visibility of 8km.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 809
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

NOTE: Alternate minima based on weather for night IFR operations is only paragraph (a)
above. If the planned destination airport for an IFR flight by night does not have any IAP, or
any IAP that the pilot can conduct, then due to paragraph 3.3.1, the flight must plan for a
destination alternate airport. By virtue of paragraph 3.1.2, the destination alternate airport
must have an IAP that the pilot is able to conduct, which would then result in paragraph (a)
being the applicable alternate weather minima.
3.2.11 For flight by airplanes under the VFR (day or night) and helicopters operating under the
VFR at night, the alternate minima are a ceiling of 1500 ft and a visibility of 8km.
3.2.11.1 For VFR helicopter operations by day, the alternate minima are the same as for night
unless the additional conditions specified in Section 2.07 of the Part 91 MOS are met. When
these additional conditions are met, the alternate minima requirements are as shown in paragraph
3.2.2.

3.3 RADIO NAVIGATION AIDS


3.3.1 A destination alternate airport must be planned for an IFR flight by night to a planned des-
tination airport that is:
a. not served by an instrument approach procedure; or
b. is served by 1 or more instrument approach procedures, none of which the pilot is able to
conduct.
3.3.2 A flight operating under the VFR at night (see General Flight Procedures, VFR) must pro-
vide for an alternate airport within one (1) hour flight time of the destination unless:
a. the destination is served by a ground based radio navigation aid (NDB/VOR) and the aircraft
is fitted with the appropriate radio navigation system capable of using the aid, and the pilot is
competent in using the aid; or
b. the aircraft is fitted with an approved GNSS (as defined in the relevant MOS for the kind of
operation being conducted) and the pilot is competent in using the GNSS.
3.3.3 If aircraft navigation is to be conducted using a GNSS receiver certified only to (E)TSO
C-129, navigation to a destination alternate airport must be planned using a navigation system
other than GNSS.

3.4 RUNWAY LIGHTING


3.4.1 Portable Lighting
When a flight is planned to land at night at an airport where the runway lighting is portable, provi-
sion must be made for flight to an alternate airport unless arrangements are made for a responsi-
ble person to be in attendance during the period specified in paragraph 2.1.1(c), to ensure that
the runway lights are available during that period.
3.4.2 Standby Power
When a flight is planned to land at night at an airport with electric runway lighting, whether pilot
activated or otherwise, but without standby power, provision must be made for flight to an alter-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 810

AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

nate airport unless portable runway lights are available and arrangements have been made for a
responsible person to be in attendance during the period specified in paragraph 2.1.1(c), to dis-
play the portable lights in the event of a failure of the primary lighting.
3.4.3 Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL)
When a flight is planned to land at night at an airport with PAL and standby power, provision must
be made for a flight to an alternate airport equipped with runway lighting unless a responsible
person is in attendance to manually switch on the airport lighting.
3.4.4 Alternate Airports — PAL
An airport served by PAL may be nominated as an alternate airport.
There is no requirement for a responsible person on the ground to be in attendance, but the air-
craft must be equipped with:
a. dual VHF; or
b. single VHF and HF communications and carries 30 minutes holding fuel to allow for the alert-
ing of ground staff in the event of a failure of the aircraft’s VHF communication.
3.4.5 The alternate requirements of paragraphs 3.4.1 to 3.4.4 inclusive need not be applied if
the aircraft carries holding fuel for first light plus 10 minutes at the destination.
3.4.6 An alternate airport nominated in accordance with requirements in paragraphs 3.4.2 and
3.4.3 need not have standby power or standby portable runway lighting.
3.4.7 A responsible person under paragraph 3.4.2 is one who has been instructed in, and is
competent to display, the standard runway lighting with portable lights.

b. Standard gable boundary marker;

5.1.1.3 When used to mark the graded portion of runway strips cone markers are spaced at not
more than 90m intervals along the limits of the runway strip, and gable or flush markers are
spaced at not more than 180m intervals. Two gable markers are used at corners.
5.1.1.4 When used to mark the definition of aprons or taxiways the markers are spaced at not
more than 15m intervals.
5.1.1.5 Boundary markers are white colored, except those associated with the limits of ill-
defined aprons and taxiways, which are yellow. Where a threshold is permanently displaced, dun-
colored cone markers are used to denote the area prior to the displaced threshold.
5.1.2 Runway Markers

runway strip. Where the runway strip is maintained to the same standard as the runway across its
entire width only runway end markers are used. Runway markers may be either:
a. runway cone markers;
b. inverted white plastic buckets;
c. white PVC road safety cones;
d. flush markers.

5.2 UNSERVICEABLE AREAS


5.2.1 An aircraft must only operate on an airport that is suitable and where it is safe to do so
under the circumstances (CASR 91.410). An area of an airport that is declared “unserviceable”
would not be considered as suitable or safe to operate on.
5.2.2 Partial Unserviceability
5.2.2.1 Except in the cases of total unserviceability or restricted operations, unserviceable areas
on the movement area are indicated by the display of unserviceability cross markers.
5.2.2.1.1 An unserviceability cross marker, normally colored white, consists of a cross, with
arms at least 6m long, 0.9m wide and not more than 0.15m high.
5.2.2.1.2 The limits of unserviceable areas are delineated by white cone markers painted with a
0.25m wide horizontal red band.
5.2.3 Total Unserviceability
5.2.3.1 When an airport that does not have 24-hour ATC coverage is completely unserviceable
for all operations, an unserviceability cross marker is displayed in the signal circle.

5.3 RESTRICTED OPERATIONS


5.3.1 Where operations at an airport which does not have 24 hour ATC coverage are confined
to hard surfaced runways, taxiways and aprons, a dumb-bell marker is displayed in the signal
circle.

5.5.2 Runway Threshold Markings


5.5.2.1 Wherever a threshold marking is displayed, it marks the commencement of the perma-
nent or declared landing distance.
5.5.3 Permanent Threshold
5.5.3.1 Threshold markings consisting of parallel longitudinal white lines resembling “piano
keys” are used at the ends of sealed or concrete runways of 30m or greater width. For runways
less than 30m wide, the markings may be used.

5.5.4 Permanently Displaced Threshold


5.5.4.1 “Piano key” markings displaced from the runway end indicate that the normal approach
is obstructed by a permanent obstacle or a permanent hazardous surface condition exists near
the end of the runway.

5.5.5 Temporarily Displaced Threshold Markers and Markings


5.5.5.1 Where a threshold is temporarily displaced it will be shown either by lights or by the fol-
lowing:
a. a series of inverted “V” markings (white) painted across the runway;
1. Markings for a temporarily displaced threshold due to obstacle infringement of the
approach path for a period in excess of 30 days.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 816

c. at military controlled airports, for periods of short duration, when military operational require-
ments dictate, four white cones situated on both sides of the runway.
NOTE: Strobe lights may be used instead of Vee-Bar markers. Permanent “piano key” and
runway designation number markings will be obliterated where the duration of the temporary
displacement exceeds 30 days, however, for shorter periods all existing runway markings
remain.
5.5.6 Other markers or markings which may be associated with temporarily displaced thresholds
are:
a. Unserviceable cone markers (white and red) which, when placed across a runway between
the permanent and temporary threshold markings, denote the start of the take-off run availa-
ble;
b. Road safety cones or “witches’ hats” (orange) which, when placed across the full width of the
runway strip, denote the maneuvering limits for plant and equipment involved in the works;
c. Unserviceable cross markers (white), which indicate any part of the movement area not
available for operations;
d. Centerline arrows (white) to draw the pilot’s attention to the displaced threshold. Unless oth-
erwise indicated by unserviceable markings, the length of runway containing centerline
arrows is available for take-off in the direction of the arrows and for both take-off and landing
in the other direction.
NOTE: Relevant NOTAM advice is provided on the length of the displacement, anticipated
duration and type of temporary threshold provided.
5.5.7 Runway Side Stripe and End Marking
5.5.7.1 Solid white lines delineate the edges of the full strength pavement on sealed or concrete
runways.
5.5.8 Sealed Area Beyond the Runway
5.5.8.1 A sealed area beyond the runway end that is not suitable for normal use by airplanes, is
marked for its entire length by yellow Vee Bars. A sealed stopway or blast area that is not suitable
for taxiing is defined by the white line delineating the edge of the full strength pavement.

ing position markings are provided. Other aprons may be unmarked.
5.10.2 Apron Edge Markings
5.10.2.1 Where aprons are provided with aircraft parking position markings, apron edges may
not be marked. On other aprons where low strength shoulders are provided adjacent to apron
pavements and the visual differentiation between these surfaces is inadequate, a further marking
is provided in critical areas. This marking consists of two 0.15m wide continuous yellow lines
0.15m apart along the edge of the full strength apron pavement. Where pavement is visually uni-
form but varies in strength, the boundary of the change in strength is delineated by a broken
yellow line with informative wording such as “MAX 2300KG”.
5.10.3 Aircraft Parking Position Markings
5.10.3.1 When apron parking position markings are provided, pilots shall access the parking
positions via the taxi route identified by continuous yellow guide lines.
5.10.4 Primary Position Taxi Guide Lines
5.10.4.1 Primary aircraft parking positions are identified by a continuous yellow taxi guide line.
5.10.5 Primary Position Markings
5.10.5.1 Primary parking position markings comprise two straight yellow lines. One line, the
alignment line, shows the required orientation of the parked aircraft. The second line, the stop
line, shows the point at which the aircraft is to be stopped.
5.10.6 Marshaller Stop Line
5.10.6.1 Where the pilot is guided by a marshaller, a marshaller stop line is located where the
aircraft nose wheel is to stop. It is at right angles to the alignment line, painted yellow, and located
on the right hand side of the alignment line as seen by the marshaller looking at the aircraft. The
aircraft type designation is painted below the stop line. The lettering, being for the marshaller, is
small and upside down when viewed by the pilot.

triangle in which the nose wheel is to be parked or, in case of tail wheel aircraft, above which the
nose of the aircraft is to be positioned. Triangle markings are also used to mark aircraft run-up
positions at secondary airports.

5.10.13 Lead-out Line


5.10.13.1 The parking position lead-out line comprises a broken yellow line commencing at the
forward end of the stripe along the alignment line.
5.10.14 Taxi Guide-line Designation Marking
5.10.14.1 Where an apron has more than one parking position, each individual parking position
lead-in line is provided with appropriate designation markings where it diverges from the common
taxi guide-line. There are three types of designations; viz., parking position number, aircraft type
and aircraft weight.
5.10.14.2 Position Designation
The parking position designation indicates the aircraft parking position to which the taxi guide-line,
or lead-in line leads. Where a lead-in line leads to several positions, the designation indicates the
first and last numbers of the parking positions served by each line. The designations comprise 2m
long yellow characters.
5.10.14.3 Type Limit Designations
Aircraft type limit designation characters are painted yellow and are 2m long. Where an apron
contains parking position(s) which can only accommodate aircraft smaller than the largest aircraft
using the apron, appropriate aircraft type limitations are provided at the lead-in line for each
restricted position. Where a parking position is restricted to use by a particular aircraft type, a des-
ignation marking such as “F27 ONLY” or “NO B727” is used. If the parking position is restricted to
helicopters then “H ONLY” is provided on the guide-line.

5.10.14.4 Weight Limit Designation


Aircraft weight limit designations are provided to identify the maximum weight limitation at a park-
ing position. Where the apron contains parking position(s) which can only accommodate aircraft
of a lighter weight than the heaviest weight allowed elsewhere on the apron then appropriate
yellow weight limitations are painted on the relevant lead-in lines.
5.10.15 Parking Limit Lines
5.10.15.1 These lines are provided to assist in ensuring that no part of a parked aircraft infringes
taxiways or vehicle access roads. The markings consist of two parallel lines 0.1m wide, separated
by a red line 0.1m wide. Suitable yellow labels are painted along the line at not more than 50m
intervals. The continuity of the line may be broken where normal access is required and aircraft
may taxi across the line where necessary.
5.10.16 Other Apron Markings
5.10.16.1 Other apron markings which may be seen at major airports are:
a. tug push-back lines — broken white;
b. tow disconnect markers — white;
c. lease lines — green (not used when co-incident with parking limit lines);
d. equipment limit lines — red, edged in black and suitably labeled;
e. apron road markings — red, edged in black;
NOTE: These markings are used to define roadways which may be used by uncontrolled
vehicles transiting aprons.
f. passenger path markings — white on black.

5.11 OBSTACLE MARKING


5.11.1 Inconspicuous obstacles penetrating the obstacle limitation surface of an airport, or which
are present on the movement area, are obstacle-marked unless they are shielded by a conspicu-
ous or marked obstacle. Obstacle painting is either in checkered patterns or alternate bands of
orange and white or red and white except where such colors would merge with the background.
High intensity lighting may be used for tall structures.
5.11.2 In areas away from airports, constructed obstacles between 90m and 150m in height are
normally marked only if considered a significant hazard to aircraft. Constructed obstacles above
150m in height are normally marked, unless considered not to be a hazard.

5.12 AIRPORT INFORMATION SIGNS


5.12.1 Airport information signs have black lettering on a yellow background or yellow lettering
on a black background. They provide location and direction information at an airport with a com-
plex taxiway system. The following information signs may be seen:
a. Taxiway Location Sign — A location sign tells pilots the designation of a taxiway. This sign
is often installed in conjunction with a taxi-holding position sign or a direction sign.

HGR Hangar or hangar area

c. Direction Sign — A direction sign is normally installed before a taxiway intersection indicat-
ing the taxiways ahead.

d. Runway Exit Sign — A runway exit sign indicates the designation of the taxiway for aircraft
exiting the runway. This sign is placed on the taxiway exit side of a runway.

e. Distance To Go Signs — This sign is provided on runways used for LAHSO where a pilot
may have difficulty seeing the intersecting runway during the landing roll due to an obstruc-
tion such as a hump in the landing runway. This sign is placed on the left hand side of the
runway. The numbers shown indicate the distance in meters from the sign to the Hold Short
Line.

NOTE: Defense airports also provide Distance To Go signs. The distance shown on such a
sign is in feet and is the distance from the sign to the end of the runway.

5.13 AIRPORT MANDATORY INSTRUCTION SIGNS


5.13.1 These signs have white lettering on a red background and must not be passed without
clearance to do so from ATC. However, at an airport where the control tower is not in operation,
these signs may be passed at the discretion of the pilot-in-command. The following mandatory
signs may be seen:
a. Taxi-Holding Position Sign at a Taxiway/Runway Intersection — This sign consists of
the designation of the runway and is placed abeam the taxi-holding position marking. A taxi-
way location sign is normally provided in conjunction with this sign. At a runway end, the taxi-
holding position sign will show only the designation of the runway end concerned. At an
intermediate taxiway, the taxi-holding position sign will show both ends of the runway desig-
nations. However, old taxi-holding position signs consisting of the word “HOLD” may still be
seen at some airports.

b. Taxi-Holding Position Sign at ILS Category I Runways — At ILS Category I runways, an


additional taxi-holding position sign may be seen further from the runway. This sign has the
words “Cat I” besides the runway designation and will be illuminated when the airport is
operating under Cat I conditions.

tion exists at a runway/taxiway intersection, the taxi-holding position sign will have a Cat II
inscription.

d. Runway Intersection Signs — This sign is normally provided for a runway used in LAHSO
to show the designation of the intersecting runway. A sign is placed on both sides of the
runway at the Hold Short Line (75m to the intersecting runway centerline). These signs are
illuminated for night operations. An ATC take-off or landing clearance constitutes clearance
to pass such signs except when a landing clearance specifically directs that the aircraft hold
short of the intersecting runway during the landing run.

e. Taxi-Holding Position Sign at Other Locations — A taxi-holding sign may be installed at


other than taxiway/runway intersections where there is a requirement for mandatory holding
at that location.

f. Aircraft NO ENTRY Sign — This sign is placed near an exit where entry is prohibited; e.g.,
at a one-way taxiway.

6 LIGHTING
6.1 RUNWAY LIGHTING
6.1.1 Permanent Threshold Lighting
6.1.1.1 Permanent threshold lights are green and the following patterns are in use:
a. Standard Pattern: a row of six lights evenly spaced across the threshold which may, at
larger airports, be augmented by one or two extra wing-bar lights at each end;
b. Alternate Standard Pattern: two barettes each of three lights, one on each side of the
threshold;
c. An obsolescent pattern of five or six lights which still exists on some runways.
6.1.1.2 The Alternate Standard Pattern is generally installed at airports used predominantly by
aircraft having a maximum take-off weight of less than 5700kg.
6.1.1.3 At runways equipped with ILS, the Standard Pattern is used. When intensity stages 4, 5
or 6 are selected, this pattern is increased to give a 3m spacing between the lights.
6.1.1.4 Threshold lights across the runway show green in the approach direction only, except for
the single lights on either side of the runway, in line with the runway edge lights, which are omni-
directional.
6.1.2 Runway Threshold Identification Light (RTIL)
6.1.2.1 Where a runway threshold needs to be made more conspicuous, two flashing white
lights (strobes) are provided, one on each side of the runway, in line with the threshold.
6.1.2.2 These lights flash at a frequency of between 60 and 120 flashes per minute and are visi-
ble in the approach direction only. They can be used both in day and night, and are occasionally
used during daylight hours to indicate a temporarily displaced threshold.
NOTE: When runway threshold identification lights are used to indicate a displaced threshold, V-
bar markers may not be displayed.
6.1.3 Displaced Threshold Lighting
6.1.3.1 Where the threshold is temporarily displaced, temporary displaced threshold lights are
used to indicate the new threshold location at night. The pattern consists of two groups of five
lights showing green, one group on each side of the runway. If the runway width is 30m or less,
groups of 3 lights per side may be used.
6.1.3.2 If any length of runway prior to the displaced threshold is available for taxiing or for take-
off from that end of the runway, or for landing or take-off from the other end of the runway, the
runway edge lighting on this part of the runway will show red in the direction of approach to the
displaced threshold, and show white in the opposite direction. (see Figure 1)

6.1.3.4 For an airport with scheduled international air transport operations, if a threshold is tem-
porarily displaced then RTIL will be provided at the displaced location (except for an emergency).
NOTE: RTIL are also recommended for temporarily displaced thresholds on runways generally.
RTIL must be used by day to mark a temporarily displaced threshold of a runway serving sched-
uled international air transport operations.

6.1.4 Runway Edge Lighting


6.1.4.1 Runway edge lighting has longitudinal spacing of 60m for instrument runways but may
be up to 90m for non-instrument runways and for non-precision approach runways at country air-
ports.
6.1.4.2 Runway edge lights are white, except that, in the case of a displaced threshold, will
show red in the approach direction.
6.1.4.3 For Precision Approach runway Category I or II the lights in the final 600m of the runway
show yellow.
6.1.4.4 Runway edge lights are omni-directional on intensity stages 1, 2, and 3 in order to pro-
vide circling area guidance. Stages 4, 5 and 6 are unidirectional.
6.1.4.5 For runways less than 30m in width, the lateral spacing of runway edge lights is based
on that of a 30m wide runway.
6.1.5 Runway End Lightings
6.1.5.1 Runway end lighting normally comprises six evenly spaced, unidirectional red lights.
Where the runway end lights and the threshold are collocated, bi-directional red/green lights in
either the Standard or Alternate pattern may be used.
6.1.6 Runway Centerline Lighting
6.1.6.1 Centerline lighting is color coded to be white from the threshold to a point 900m from the
end of the runway, then alternate red and white to 300m from the runway end, and then red the
last 300m.
6.1.7 Runway Touchdown Zone Lighting
6.1.7.1 Touchdown Zone Lighting is provided for runways intended for precision approach Cate-
gory II or III operations. The lighting consists of a series of fifteen pairs of uni-directional, white
barettes for the first 900m of the runway. Six stages of intensity are available.

Centerline and Touchdown Zone Lighting

6.1.8 Runway Guard Lights


6.1.8.1 On standard taxiways, runway guard lights consist of a pair of alternating flashing yellow
lights located either side of the holding position. On wide throat taxiways, runway guard lights
consist of a line of flashing yellow lights spaced 3M apart across the taxiway at the holding posi-

tion. All lights are unidirectional and visible to the pilot of an aircraft taxiing to the holding position.
They are illuminated day and night.
6.1.9 Hold Short Lights
6.1.9.1 These lights are installed on all runways used for LAHSO. The lights indicate the posi-
tion of the hold-short line (no closer than 75m from the intersecting runway center-line) and are
additional to the runway intersections signs and hold-short position markings. They consist of a
line of six white, unidirectional lights occulting at approximately 30 times per minute, installed
across the runway. During LAHSO, the lights will be on and occulting, but an ATC clearance to
take off, to land without a LAHSO instruction or requirement, or to cross the intersection after
completing a LAHSO, constitutes a clearance to cross the lights. When issued with a land-and-
hold-short instruction, a pilot must not permit the aircraft to pass the hold-short lights.
6.1.10 Stopway Lighting
6.1.10.1 Stopway lighting is provided where the runway is less than 1500m. The lighting con-
sists of side and end red lights, screened so as not to be visible to an aircraft approaching to land
over the stopway.

6.2 TAXIWAY LIGHTING


6.2.1 Two types of taxiway lighting are used:
a. Edge Lighting: fixed lights showing blue on both sides of the taxiway;
b. Centerline Lighting: fixed lights showing green along the centerline of the taxiway.
6.2.2 Apron Exit Lights
6.2.2.1 Where there is an extensive system of taxiways, the taxiway lights at the exit from the
apron are flashing the same color as the taxiway lights.
6.2.3 Runway Exit Lights
6.2.3.1 On runway exit taxiways, the centerline taxiway lighting is extended to the runway cen-
terline by lights spaced at 15m intervals. Alternate green and yellow lights are used for that sec-
tion of the exit taxiway up to the taxi-holding position lighting.
6.2.4 Rapid-Exit Taxiway Lights
6.2.4.1 On rapid-exit taxiways, the centerline lighting is extended to the runway centerline by
lights at 15m intervals. This spacing is continued until the high-speed taxiway becomes incorpora-
ted into the normal taxiway system.
6.2.5 Taxi-Holding Position Lights
6.2.5.1 Runway-holding position lights consist of three lights showing yellow in the direction of
the approach to the runway. When taxiway edge lighting is provided, the runway-holding position
lights consist of a pair of yellow lights in line with the holding point.

6.2.6 Intermediate Holding Position Lights


6.2.6.1 On a taxiway equipped with centerline lights, the intermediate holding position lights con-
sist of at least three (3) lights showing yellow in the direction of the approach to the intermediate
holding position marking or the taxiway intersection marking, as appropriate. When taxiway side
lighting is provided, the intermediate holding position lights consist of a pair of yellow lights in line
with the runway holding position marking, intermediate holding position marking or taxiway inter-
section marking, as appropriate.

Intermediate Holding Position Lights

6.2.7 Stop Bars


6.2.7.1 A stop bar is unidirectional and shows red in the direction of approach to the stop bar
from the taxiway. The stop bar lights are spaced 3m apart and 0.3m before the point at which it is
intended that traffic approaching the runway must stop. The stop bar lights are at right angles to
the taxiway centerline. When a stop bar is on at night or when low visibility procedures are in
force, any taxiway centerline lights immediately beyond the stop bar are switched off for a dis-
tance of at least 90M; once the stop bar is switched off the centerline lights beyond the stop bar
are switched on.

6.3 APRON LIGHTING


6.3.1 Apron floodlighting provides illumination on all apron service areas with a minimum of
glare to users and a minimizing of shadows.

6.4 PARTIAL UNSERVICEABILITY AREA LIGHTING


6.4.1 At airports where night operations are permitted, the limits of unserviceable portions of the
movement area are marked with steady red lights during the hours of darkness.

6.5 WIND DIRECTION INDICATOR LIGHTING


6.5.1 At airports intended for night operations, the primary wind indicator, and maybe others, are
illuminated. Wind direction indicator lighting may be included in the pilot activated lighting (PAL)
system.

6.6 AIRPORT BEACONS


6.6.1 Airport beacons are designed to be visible from at least 8km at altitudes from 1000 ft to
5000 ft in restricted visibility.
6.6.2 Beacons may show white flashes alternating with green flashes or white flashes only.
6.6.3 At locations where an ATS unit is established, the beacon is operated at night, and by day
during conditions of reduced visibility, while the unit is open. When the aircraft traffic does not

warrant continuous display, the beacon will be operated for known aircraft movements. The
beacon is available on request.

6.7 OBSTACLE LIGHTING


6.7.1 At an airport where night operations are permitted, constructed obstacles and significant
terrain which penetrate the obstacle limitation surface of an airport, or which are on the movement
area, are obstacle-lit unless shielded by an obstacle which is already lit. Three types of lights are
used:
a. low intensity STEADY RED light for most situations;
b. medium intensity FLASHING RED light (hazard beacon) for early or special warning;
c. flashing WHITE (strobe) light for day/night marking of tall structures.
6.7.2 In areas away from airports, constructed obstacles that would be marked in accordance
with para 6.7.1 above will normally be lit.

6.8 GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT LANES OF ENTRY


6.8.1 Certain light aircraft lanes located near major airports have strobe lights that mark the cen-
terline of the lane.

6.9 APPROACH LIGHTING


6.9.1 There are several forms of approach lighting systems that may be used on a runway,
depending on the type of runway and kinds of approach made to that runway.
6.9.2 For a non-precision approach runway or a non-instrument runway used at night, a simple
approach lighting system (SALS) may be provided. (see below)

6.9.3 For a precision approach runway on which CAT I approaches are conducted, 2 types of
approach lighting system may be provided:
a. Precision approach CAT I lighting system; distance coded centerline. This type of
approach lighting system is also known as the ‘Calvert’ system. (see below)
b. Precision approach CAT I lighting system; barrette centerline. This type of approach
lighting system is also known as Approach Lighting System with Sequenced Flashing Lights
(ALSF). As its other name implies, this type of approach lighting system includes a ‘running

6.10 OPERATION OF MULTI-STAGE INTENSITY APPROACH AND RUNWAY


LIGHTING
6.10.1 Precision approach runway lighting has five or six stages of intensity, and other multi-
stage systems have three. Intensity commences with stage 1 with the first three common to all
systems.
6.10.2 Multi-stage intensity approach and runway lighting is operated as follows:
a. the initial intensity is normally selected by the tower controller;
b. variation to the intensity is upon pilot request with an expectation that the pilot will request a
lower intensity as the aircraft nears the runway to reduce dazzle;
c. pilots are advised when the equipment is operating in a visibility of 5000m or less; and
d. when requesting a change in intensity the pilot need only ask for a higher or lower stage.

6.11 PILOT ACTIVATED LIGHTING (PAL)


Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL) installations provide a means to activate airport, runway, taxiway,
apron, VASIS and wind indicator lighting. Airport lighting enabled by a PAL system is available
only during night hours or at other times of low natural light levels. By day, when the light intensity
is above a pre-set level, the system will not activate the lights. However, where an airport is
equipped with a VASIS, activation of the PAL during daylight hours will activate the VASIS only.
6.11.2 It is recommended that pilots activate the lighting before taxi or within 15 NM of the air-
port. The lights will illuminate for a minimum of 30 minutes, depending on the installation timer
setting. The wind indicator light will flash continuously during the last 10 minutes of lighting illumi-
nation to warn users that the lights are about to extinguish. To maintain continuity of lighting,
repeat the activation sequence.
PAL systems may provide an audio acknowledgment (PAL+AA) of lighting operation. For systems
with an audio acknowledgment capability the expected responses on the PAL frequency are:
“[airport name] AIRPORT LIGHTING ON”
“[airport name] LIGHTS 10 MINUTES REMAINING”
“[airport name] AIRPORT LIGHTING NOT ACTIVATED”
At airports with AFRU, PAL operation may be provided as an optional function of an AFRU (on
the associated airport CTAF) and is referred to as AFRU+PAL. Expected responses on the CTAF
are:
“[airport name, CTAF message] RUNWAY LIGHTS ON”
“[airport name, CTAF message] NO RUNWAY LIGHTS”

6.12 VISUAL GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION


6.12.1 Visual Approach Slope Indicator Systems (VASIS)
Two types of VASIS are approved for use in Australia: T-VASIS, a high intensity system for use
by day or night; and Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI), a color discrimination system
usable by day or night. The standard installation aims to provide an obstacle clearance of at least
11m above a 1.9° slope, within the azimuth splay of 7.5° either side of the runway centre line for a
distance of 5 NM from the threshold (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS). When the installa-
tion differs from the standard, details are promulgated in the airport documentation.
6.12.2 T-VASIS
6.12.2.1 The cross-bar indicates on-slope and deviations appear as one, two or three lights
above or below the cross-bar. The sensitivity is similar to the “dot positions” on an ILS glide path.
Increased eye-height over the threshold can be achieved by flying the approach with one or more
of the “fly-down” lights visible.

APPROACH SLOPE INDICATION EYE HEIGHT ABOVE THRESHOLD


3 Lights fly up 0 to 7 ft
2 Lights fly up 7 ft to 25 ft
1 Light fly up 25 ft to 41 ft
ON GLIDE SLOPE 49 ft
1 Light fly down 57 ft to 75 ft
2 Lights fly down 75 ft to 94 ft
3 Lights fly down 94 ft to 176 ft

NOTE 1: The night azimuth splay is normally increased to 30° to permit T-VASIS to be visible on
base leg. However, obstacle clearance is not guaranteed until the aircraft is within the runway
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 841
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

approach obstacle limitation surface. Accordingly, T-VASIS should not be used for approach
slope guidance until the aircraft is aligned with the runway.
NOTE 2: The presence of a thin layer of ground fog or mist may produce abnormal T-VASIS indi-
cations, including:
a. erroneous fly-down or fly-up signals; or
b. other fly-up or fly-down lights together with the correct lights (which are usually much brighter
than the erroneous lights). Consequently, pilots should exercise caution when using the T-
VASIS in ground fog or other conditions conducive to light reflection or refraction.
6.12.2.2 The above requirements may vary by 15 ft depending on the location of the system.
6.12.2.3 The intensity of the system may be varied at the request of the pilot.
6.12.2.4 An abbreviated version of T-VASIS (AT-VASIS) is used at some locations, with the
equipment located on only one side of the runway (usually the left).
6.12.3 PAPI
6.12.3.1 An installation consists of a set of four light boxes placed in a line at right angles to the
runway, abeam the touchdown point and usually on the left hand side. Each box radiates both red
and white light.
The transition between the red and white will appear instantaneous to the pilot (3 minutes of arc
change); however, light changes between adjacent boxes will not occur unless the approach
slope changes by about 0.25°. A one degree progressive incremental spread from the outermost
to the innermost light unit about the standard approach angle provides the visual guidance shown
in the following diagram.

PAPI Signals

6.12.3.2 The correct approach slope is shown to a ± 10 minute tolerance when two red and two
white lights are seen. The two-red indication is always closest to the runway, irrespective of which
side of the runway the PAPI is installed.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 842
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

6.12.3.3 Unlike T-VASIS, PAPI is a point source aid. Thus a non-standard approach will not sig-
nificantly alter the threshold crossing height; only the approach angle will change as illustrated
below.

NOTE: An aircraft descending through the PAPI signals into the four-red zone will receive no
additional clues as to further downward displacement from the approach slope — the four reds
may remain visible to ground level.

6.12.3.4 Since the meaning of a four-white PAPI indication is significantly different to the same
T-VASIS indication, pilots should verify which system is installed prior to conducting the approach.
6.12.3.5 Condensation on PAPI lenses is known to be a cause of color distortion. Therefore,
PAPI systems should be activated at least ten minutes prior to use so that any condensation that
may have formed on the lenses is evaporated before use.
6.12.4 VASIS Control
When controlled by ATS, the operation of the relevant VASIS will be activated as follows:
a. whenever night landing facilities are activated;
b. by day, for all approaching schedules air transport, jet, and military aircraft; and
c. by day, on request by other aircraft.
When PAL is used to activate the runway lighting, the VASIS at both ends of the runway will be
activated unless otherwise indicated on airport charts or NOTAM.

6.12.5 WIND DIRECTION INDICATORS


6.12.5.1 At least one wind direction indicator is provided on each certified airport.
6.12.5.2 The primary wind indicator, colored white, is located near the terminal. Other wind indi-
cators are colored yellow and those serving a particular runway are located upwind of the runway
threshold on the left side.
6.12.6 SEGMENTED CIRCLE
6.12.6.1 A Segmented Circle visual indicator system is one method that may be used to provide
circuit information at some non-controlled airports. Circuit indicators are placed in pairs at oppo-
site sides of the segmented circle to indicate runway alignment and circuit direction for each set of
reciprocal runways.
The segmented circle may be based around the primary wind indicator at an airport. Markings
that may be placed upon the segmented circle include “Circuit Indicators”. These indicators are
used for the purpose of controlling the direction of the circuit when there is any variation from the
normal left hand circuit.

7 VISUAL DOCKING GUIDANCE SYSTEMS


7.1 Visual Docking Guidance Systems (VDGS) used in Australia include:
– The generic Nose in Guidance (NIG) system
– Aircraft Positioning and Information System (APIS)
– Safegate Docking Guidance System
These systems are detailed on applicable TERMINAL Airport Charts.

8 CONTROL OF VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT


ON AIRPORTS
8.1 Drivers of vehicles which need to operate on the maneuvering area must not seek permis-
sion to do so from ATC, unless the driver and vehicle holds the appropriate Driver Authority for
Use Airside as issued by the Airport Operator and/or Owner.
8.2 ATC has the authority to issue or to withhold, for reasons of traffic, permission for vehicular
or pedestrian movement on the maneuvering area. When it is permitted, such movement will be
rigidly controlled.
8.3 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, will be instructed to stop and hold position for radio
clearances, or light signal clearances, from the tower before crossing any runway or taxiway,
unless they are on a portion of the maneuvering area marked off by lights, flags or other conven-
tional warning signs. In radio advices to aircraft, ATC will identify as distinctly as possible, persons
or vehicles on the maneuvering area.
8.4 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, on the maneuvering area must stop and hold at all
lighted stop bars and may only proceed further when a clearance to enter or cross the runway has
been received and the stop bar lights have been switched off. (See also ATC — DEPARTURE,
APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES — Stop Bar Contingency Procedures.)

8.5 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, required to hold short of a runway, must hold at the
appropriate runway-holding position for that runway, or the runway strip edge.
8.6 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, in receipt of a clearance from ATC to enter a
runway, must hold short of an intersecting runway except when an instruction “CROSS RUNWAY

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1 ALTIMETRY
1.1 PREFLIGHT ALTIMETER CHECK
1.1.1 General
1.1.1.1 Whenever an accurate QNH is available and the aircraft is at a known elevation, pilots
must conduct an accuracy check of the aircraft altimeter(s) at some point prior to take-off.
NOTE: Where the first check indicates that an altimeter is unserviceable, the pilot is permitted to
conduct a further check at another location on the same airfield; for example, the first check on
the apron and the second at the runway threshold (to determine altimeter serviceability).
1.1.2 IFR Altimeters
1.1.2.1 With an accurate QNH set, the altimeter(s) should read the nominated elevation to within
60 ft. If an altimeter has an error in excess of +/- 75 ft, the altimeter is to be considered unservice-
able.
1.1.2.2 When two altimeters are required for the category of operation, one of the altimeters
must read the nominated elevation to within 60 ft. When the remaining altimeter has an error
between 60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the
altimeter can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess
of 60 ft on the second check, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable for flight under the
IFR.
1.1.2.3 An aircraft fitted with two altimeters, but requiring only one for the category of operation,
may continue to operate under the IFR provided one altimeter reads the nominated elevation to
within 60 ft. Should the remaining altimeter have an error in excess of 75 ft, that altimeter must be
placarded unserviceable and the maintenance release appropriately endorsed.
1.1.2.4 When an aircraft is fitted with only one altimeter and that altimeter has an error between
60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the altimeter
can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess of 60 ft
on the second check, the altimeter is to be considered unserviceable for flight under the IFR.
1.1.3 VFR Altimeters
1.1.3.1 With an accurate QNH set, a VFR altimeter(s) should read site elevation to within 100 ft
(110 ft at test sites above 3300 ft) to be accepted by the pilot as serviceable. If an aircraft fitted
with two VFR altimeters continues to fly with one altimeter reading 100 ft (110 ft) or more in error,
the faulty altimeter must be placarded unserviceable and the error noted in the maintenance
release.
1.1.3.2 VFR altimeters are not permitted for airplane operations above FL200. VFR flights oper-
ating above FL200 must be equipped with an altimeter calibrated to IFR standards.
1.1.4 Accurate QNH and Site Elevation
1.1.4.1 A QNH can be considered accurate only if it is provided by one of the following:
a. AAIS;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 846
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

b. ATC;
c. ATIS;
d. AWIS;
e. CA/GRS; or
f. WATIR.
NOTE: QNH contained in an authorized weather forecast must not be used for checking the accu-
racy of a pressure altitude system.
1.1.4.2 Site elevation must be derived from airport survey data that is authorized in writing by
either CASA or an NAA, or supplied in writing by the relevant airport operator.

1.2 BASIC ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES


1.2.1 Transition Altitude, Transition Layer, and Transition Level
1.2.1.1 The system of altimetry used in Australia makes use of a transition layer between the
transition altitude which is always 10,000 ft and the transition level of FL110 to FL125 depending
on QNH (see Figure 1) to separate aircraft using QNH from those using 1013.2 hPa as a datum.
1.2.1.2 For all operations at or below the Transition Altitude, the altimeter reference setting will
be:
a. the current Local QNH of a station along the route within 100 NM of the aircraft; or
b. the current Area QNH Forecast if the current Local QNH is not known.
1.2.1.3 For all operation at or above the Transition Level, the altimeter reference must be 1013.2
hPa.
1.2.1.4 The position to change between QNH and 1013.2 hPa shall always be:
a. on climb passing 10,000 ft and prior to leveling off; or
b. on descent prior to entering the Transition Layer and is shown in Figure 1.
1.2.1.5 QNH is available from a reporting station, (AAIS, AERIS, ATIS, AWIS, CA/GRS or
WATIR), the Terminal Area Forecast, Area QNH forecast or from ATS (ATC or FIS).
1.2.1.6 Cruising within the transition layer is not permitted.
1.2.2 Area QNH
1.2.2.1 Area QNH is a forecast value which is valid for a period of 3 hours and normally applies
throughout an Area QNH Zone (AQZ).
1.2.2.2 Area QNH Zones will be subdivided, if necessary, to meet the following standards of
accuracy:
a. Area QNH forecasts are to be within +/-5 hPa of the actual QNH at any low-level point
(below 1000 ft MSL) within or on, the boundary of the appropriate area during the period of
validity of the forecasts;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 847
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

b. Area QNH must not differ from an adjoining Area QNH by more than 5 hPa.
1.2.3 Local QNH
1.2.3.1 Local QNH, whether provided by ATS, AWS, or Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) or by using
the altimeter subscale to indicate airfield elevation, is used as shown at Figure 1.
1.2.4 Limitations
1.2.4.1 To retain a minimum buffer of 1000 ft above the transition altitude, FL 110 must not be
used for cruising when the Area QNH is less than 1013 hPa. With a progressive decrease in the
value of the Area QNH, FL115 and FL120 must not be used when the Area QNH is below 997
hPa and 980 hPa respectively.
1.2.4.2 At the oceanic limits of Australian FIRs, a pilot may fly a level different from those set out
in the tables of cruising levels due to Area QNH conflicting with the standard pressure setting.
1.2.5 General
1.2.5.1 Heights measured from a QNH or Area QNH datum must be expressed in full; e.g., 3000
ft as “THREE THOUSAND” and 1800 ft as “ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED”, adding if nec-
essary, “ON...(QNH)”.
1.2.5.2 Expressions of height measured from the 1013.2 hPa datum must always include the
words “FLIGHT LEVEL”.

under the IFR, a VFR flight must not be conducted at night.
4.1.3 For pilots not authorized to fly at night, it is recommended that they plan to arrive at the
later of the destination airport or alternate airport at least 10 minutes before last light (allowing for
any required holding).

4.2 SPECIAL VFR


4.2.1 By day, when VMC do not exist, the ATC unit responsible for a CTR or CTA may issue, at
pilot request, and provided an IFR flight will not be unduly delayed, a Special VFR clearance for
flight:
a. in the CTR; or
b. in a CTA next to the CTR for the purpose of entering or leaving the CTR.
4.2.1.1 When operating under a special VFR clearance, pilots are responsible for ensuring that:
a. the flight is conducted clear of cloud;
b. the visibility is not less than:
1. for airplanes, 1600m;
2. for helicopters, 800m; or
3. for balloons, 100m below 500 ft AGL and 1600m at and above 500 ft AGL;
c. a helicopter is operated at such a speed that the pilot has adequate opportunity to observe
any obstructions or other traffic in sufficient time to avoid a collision; and
4.2.2 Special VFR is not permitted in Class E airspace.

4.3 THE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR)


4.3.1 The IFR must be used by flights conducted in circumstances other than those specified in
paragraph 4.1.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 850

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

4.3.2 IFR flights must be conducted in accordance with the airspace speed limitations specified
in ATC — AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION — Classes of Airspace — Services and Requirements.

5 NAVIGATION REQUIREMENTS
5.1 FLIGHT UNDER THE IFR
5.1.1 An aircraft operating under the IFR must be navigated by:
a. an approved area navigation system that meets performance requirements of the intended
airspace or route; or
b. use of a radio navigation system or systems on routes where, after making allowance for
possible tracking errors of +/-9° from the last positive fix, the aircraft will come within the
rated coverage of a radio aid which can be used to fix the position of the aircraft. The maxi-
mum time interval between positive fixes must not exceed two (2) hours; or
c. visual reference to the ground or water by day, on route segments where suitable enroute
radio navigation aids are not available, provided that weather conditions permit flight in VMC
and the visual position fixing requirements of paragraphs 5.2.1b are able to be met.

5.2 FLIGHT UNDER THE VFR


5.2.1 The following apply in respect of flight under the VFR:
a. The pilot-in-command must navigate the aircraft by visual reference to the ground or water,
or by using any of the methods specified in paragraph 5.1.1.
b. When navigating by visual reference to the ground or water, the pilot-in-command must posi-
tively fix the aircraft’s position by visual reference to features shown on topographical charts
at intervals not exceeding 30 minutes. When flying over the sea, such features may include
rocks, reefs and fixed man-made objects which are marked on suitable charts and are read-
ily identifiable from the air.
NOTE: Flight above more than SCT cloud, or over featureless land areas, or over the sea,
may preclude visual position fixing at the required intervals and may therefore make visual
navigation impracticable.
c. When navigating by visual reference in controlled airspace, the pilot must notify ATC if the
aircraft’s track diverges by more than one (1) NM from the track approved by ATC, or, if navi-
gating by reference to radio navigation aids, by more than the tolerances given in paragraph
5.6.
d. VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud is available provided that:
(1) VMC can be maintained during the entire flight, including climb, cruise and descent.
(2) For VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud, the visual position fixing requirements of
paragraph 5.2.1b, or the other navigational requirements of paragraph 5.1 must be met.
(3) Prior to conducting a VFR flight on top of more than SCT of cloud, the pilot-in-command
must ensure that current forecasts and observations (including those available in flight
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 851
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

observations) indicate that conditions in the area of, and during the period of, the plan-
ned descent below the cloud layer will permit the descent to be conducted in VMC.
(4) The position at which descent below cloud is planned to occur must be such as to
enable continuation of the flight to the destination and, if required, an alternate airport in
VMC (see Note).
e. When navigating by reference to radio navigation aids or GNSS, the pilot-in-command must
obtain positive radio fixes at the intervals and by the methods prescribed in paragraphs 5.1
and 5.5.
f. The pilot in command of a VFR flight wishing to navigate by means of radio navigation sys-
tems or any other means must indicate in the flight notification only those radio navigation
aids with which the aircraft is equipped and the pilot is competent to use under CASR
61.385.
NOTE: Pilots should not initiate VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud when weather condi-
tions are marginal. Before committing to operate VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud, pilots
should be confident that meteorological information used is reliable and current, and clearly indi-
cates that the entire flight will be able to be conducted in VMC.

5.3 TIME
5.3.1 During flight, pilots must maintain a time reference accurate to within +/- 30 seconds.

5.4 TRACK KEEPING


5.4.1 Tolerances are applied to tracks to assess containment areas for the purposes of ensuring
navigational integrity, separation from other aircraft, terrain and obstacle clearance, and avoid-
ance of specified airspaces. Although allowing for errors inherent in the navigation systems used,
these tolerances are based on the assumption that the pilot will maintain track as closely as pos-
sible.
5.4.2 The pilot-in-command must, at all times, take positive action to regain track as soon as a
deviation from the correct track is recognized.
5.4.3 Aircraft must be navigated by the most precise means of track guidance with which the air-
craft is equipped and the pilot is qualified to use.
The order of precision is Localizer, GNSS, VOR, then NDB.

5.5 POSITION FIXING


5.5.1 A positive fix is one determined by:
a. the passage of the aircraft over a NDB, VOR, TACAN, marker beacon or a DME site; or
b. the intersection of two or more position lines which intersect with angles of not less than 45°
and which are obtained from NDBs, VORs, localizers or DMEs in any combination. For the
purpose of this paragraph, a position line must be within the rated coverage of the aid with
the exception that if a fix is determined entirely by position lines from NDBs, the position
lines must be within a range of 30 NM from each of the NDBs; or

c. GNSS meeting the equipment and pilot requirements of paragraph 5.8 — Radio Navigation
Systems Requirements.

5.6 AIRCRAFT DEVIATIONS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE — ADVICE TO


ATC
5.6.1 In controlled airspace, separation standards are based on the pilot maintaining route or
track as closely as possible at all times. Corrective action must be taken to regain route or track
as soon as any deviation is observed.
5.6.2 Additionally, the pilot must immediately notify ATC for any of the deviations described
below:
a. where route or track guidance is provided by a localizer or VOR – half-scale deflection or
more of the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI);
b. where route or track guidance is provided by NDB – +/- 5° or more from the specified bear-
ing;
c. where route or track guidance is provided by DME – +/- 2 NM or more from the required arc;
d. where route or track guidance is provided by an area navigation system – when the aircraft
cannot be maintained on the desired track plus/minus the prescribed RNP/RNAV value; and
e. when navigating by visual reference to the ground or water – more than 1 NM from the
cleared route or track.
NOTE: The values given above must not be interpreted as defining a sector within which the
pilot is permitted to navigate or tolerances within which deviations from route or track without
clearance are permitted.

5.7 LONG OVER-WATER FLIGHTS


5.7.1 If an aircraft on a long over-water flight operating in oceanic class A airspace has inadver-
tently deviated from the route specified in its ATC clearance, the pilot must take action to regain
the cleared route within 200 NM from the position at which the deviation was observed.

5.11.1.2 Further advice, including advice about installing equipment, can be found in Advisory
Circular (AC) 91-23 (not published herein) and on the CASA website.
5.11.2 Flight Without Serviceable Required Surveillance Equipment
5.11.2.1 Where an aircraft’s required surveillance equipment (transponder or ADS-B OUT) is
unserviceable, the civil aviation legislation requires that a flight may only take place if:
a. the flight begins from an airport at which there is no facility for the surveillance equipment to
be repaired or replaced;
b. the flight ends not more than 72 hours after the time the surveillance equipment was found to
be inoperative; and
c. before the flight commences, the pilot in command informs ATS about the unserviceability.
5.11.2.2 Flights of an aircraft without the required surveillance equipment being serviceable or
fitted to the aircraft may experience delays or restrictions to air traffic control clearances. Pilots in
command should contact ATC for planning advice before the flight commences.

5.11.2.3 If surveillance equipment becomes unserviceable in flight, aircraft may experience
delays or ATC assignment of non-optimal cruising levels or routing.
5.11.3 ADS-B Equipment in State Aircraft
5.11.3.1 State aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment should set the
equipment to output a value of zero for the NUCp, NACp, NIC or SIL. If unable to apply these
settings, the ADS-B equipment non-compliance must be detailed in the flight notification. Non-
ADS-B equipped state aircraft have equal priority with ADS-B-equipped aircraft.
NOTE 1: The operation of non-compliant ADS-B equipment can significantly affect and degrade
ATS surveillance capability.
NOTE 2: State aircraft in flight that have not flight planned as above may request operation under
the provisions of ATC — CLIMB AND CRUISE — Cruising Levels — “Due Operational Require-
ment”.

5.12 AIRBORNE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (ACAS) / TRAFFIC


ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)
5.12.1 Overview
5.12.1.1 Aircraft fitted with a serviceable ACAS/TCAS, and with a crew trained in its use, are
permitted to operate that system while in Australian airspace.
5.12.1.2 Pilots of transponder-equipped aircraft should ensure their transponder is switched to
ON/ALT (Mode C) at all times.
NOTE: TCAS will neither track nor display:
a. non-transponder-equipped aircraft;
b. aircraft with an inoperable transponder; or
c. aircraft operating a Mode A transponder.
5.12.2 Use of ACAS/TCAS Indicators
5.12.2.1 Traffic Advisory (TA)
In the event of a TA, pilots should use all available information to prepare for appropriate action if
an RA occurs including:
a. attempt to establish visual contact; and
b. change the flight path only if a collision risk is established visually.
NOTE: RA collision avoidance maneuvers will not be provided to an aircraft with TA-only mode
selected, e.g., during engine failure or operating in known close proximity to other traffic such as
approaches to closely spaced parallel runways.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 855
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

5.12.2.2 Resolution Advisory (RA)


In the event of an RA, pilots must:
a. immediately conform to the RA indication, even if this conflicts with an air traffic control
(ATC) instruction, unless doing so would jeopardize the safety of the aircraft;
b. limit the alterations of the flight path to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the RA;
and
c. notify ATC, as soon as permitted by workload, of any RA which requires a deviation from the
current ATC instruction or clearance.
5.12.3 Responsibility for Separation
5.12.3.1 Once an aircraft maneuvers in response to an RA, ATC is not responsible for providing
separation between that aircraft and any other aircraft, airspace, terrain or obstruction.
5.12.3.2 When the conflict is resolved, pilots must:
a. promptly return to the terms of the latest ATC instruction or clearance and notify ATC of the
maneuver; or
b. comply with any amended ATC clearance or instruction issued.
5.12.3.3 ATC responsibility for separation resumes when separation is re-established after:
a. the responding aircraft has returned to its assigned level;
b. the pilot advises ATC that the TCAS maneuver is completed; or
c. the responding aircraft has executed an alternate clearance.
5.12.4 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) requires that all TCAS Resolution Advi-
sories are treated as Routine Reportable Matters (see ATC — AIR TRAFFIC MATTERS — RRM
paragraph 3.2.1(m)).
5.12.5 The ATSB reporting requirements apply to all TCAS-equipped aircraft operating in Aus-
tralian-administered airspace. The requirements also apply to Australian registered aircraft oper-
ating outside Australian-administered airspace.
5.12.6 The above information is required for proactive systems analysis in relation to accident
prevention.
5.12.7 High Vertical Rate (HVR) Encounters
5.12.7.1 A TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) may result from having a high vertical rate when
approaching an assigned altitude or flight level when another aircraft is maintaining, or approach-
ing, an adjacent altitude or flight level. To avoid RAs in these circumstances, the pilot of the climb-
ing or descending aircraft should, where practicable, reduce the vertical rate to less than 1500
FPM when within the last 1000 ft of the assigned altitude or flight level, unless otherwise directed
by ATC.
NOTE 1: Pilots are not required to modify vertical speed for every level-off. This is not necessary
and would introduce a significant increase in pilot workload.

NOTE 2: Pilots may become aware of the presence of an adjacent aircraft by several means,
including:
a. visual acquisition;
b. information provided by ATC; or
c. TCAS Traffic Advisory (TA).

5.13 GNSS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES


5.13.1 GNSS systems used to provide distance information to ATS units by pilot reports must
meet the requirements referenced in Radio Navigation Systems.
5.13.2 ATC may apply some DME-based separation standards to approved aircraft providing
GNSS distance information. Pilots must be familiar with and comply with GNSS reporting require-
ments and procedures.
5.13.3 When a DME distance is not specifically requested, or when the provision of a DME dis-
tance is not possible, distance information based on GNSS derived information may be provided.
When responding to ATC requests for distance information, pilots should:
a. provide either a DME distance, or a GNSS distance unless RAIM is currently not available
and has been unavailable for the previous 5 minutes; and
b. include the source and point of reference; e.g., 115 GNSS Melbourne, 79 DME Newman,
257 GNSS BEEZA, etc.
5.13.4 Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, if an ATC unit has issued a clearance or restric-
tion based on GNSS distance (e.g., a restriction to reach a certain level by a certain GNSS dis-
tance), pilots must inform ATC if RAIM is not available.
5.13.5 If a GNSS distance is provided to an ATC unit, and RAIM is not currently available, but
has been available in the preceding 5 minutes, the distance report should be suffixed “NEGATIVE
RAIM”; e.g., 26 GPS LT VOR, NEGATIVE RAIM.
5.13.6 Databases sometimes contain waypoint information which is not shown on published
charts. Distance information must only be provided in relation to published waypoints unless spe-
cifically requested by an ATS unit.
5.13.7 Where GNSS distance is requested or provided from an NDB, VOR, DME, or published
waypoint, the geographical coordinates of the navigation aid or waypoint must be derived from a
validated database which cannot be modified by the operator or crew.

5.14 GNSS – OPERATIONS WITHOUT RAIM


5.14.1 ATS services, in particular aircraft separation, are predicated on accurate aircraft naviga-
tion and position fixing. If GNSS integrity is not assured, due to loss of RAIM or RAIM ALERT, the
navigation system does not to meet the required standard for navigation or the application of area
navigation based separation standards. When GNSS integrity is not assured, the following proce-
dures must be adopted:
a. Aircraft tracking must be closely monitored against other on board navigation systems.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 857
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

b. The pilot in command of an aircraft must advise ATS if any of the following occurs:
1. during an en route phase of flight — there is RAIM loss or loss of GNSS integrity for
more than 5 minutes;
2. during a terminal phase of flight — there is RAIM loss or loss of GNSS integrity;
3. when ATS requests the provision of GNSS-derived information — RAIM or GNSS integ-
rity is not available;
4. when ATS grants a clearance or imposes a requirement based on GNSS-derived infor-
mation — RAIM or GNSS integrity is not available;
5. the GNSS receiver is in dead-reckoning mode, or experiences loss of its navigation
function, for more than 1 minute.
c. If valid position information is lost or non-RAIM operation exceeds 5 minutes, the GNSS
information is to be considered unreliable and another means of navigation should be used
until RAIM is restored and the aircraft is re-established on track.
d. Following re-establishment of RAIM, the appropriate ATS unit should be notified of RAIM
restoration prior to using GNSS information. This will allow ATC to reassess the appropriate
separation standards.

6 OPERATIONS IN OCEANIC CONTROL AREA (OCA)


6.1 CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
6.1.1 Aircraft not in receipt of an airways clearance in another FIR are required to obtain an air-
ways clearance prior to entering Australian administered Class A airspace. Clearances may be
issued by the primary guard station prior to FIR entry. If a clearance is not received 15 minutes
prior to entry, it may be obtained directly by one of the following methods:
a. Voice clearances may be obtained from Brisbane on INO-1, SEA-3, SP-6 or other advised
frequencies as appropriate.
b. CPDLC clearance may be obtained from Brisbane (YBBB) or Melbourne (YMMM), as appro-
priate.

6.2 MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE


6.2.1 The Mach Number Technique (MNT) is the term used to describe the method of clearing
successive jet aircraft, operating along the same track, to maintain specified mach numbers in
order to maintain longitudinal separation.
6.2.2 The MNT may be used by ATC in the application of longitudinal separation standards on
routes within oceanic controlled airspace. Pilots of jet aircraft must include the planned true Mach
Number in their flight plans.
6.2.3 Pilots are required to readback and maintain an assigned Mach Number. ATC approval
must be obtained before making any change. If an immediate temporary change is essential (e.g.,
due to turbulence), ATC must be notified as soon as possible that such a change has been made.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 858
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

6.2.4 MNT may also be applied by ATC in Australian control areas.

6.3 USE OF GNSS IN OCEANIC AND REMOTE AREAS


6.3.1 Australia has approved the use of GNSS as a primary means of navigation for oceanic/
remote areas. Aircraft operators intending to utilize GNSS as a primary means of navigation in
these areas must be approved by the State of Registry or State of the Operator, as appropriate.
6.3.2 To ensure navigation integrity, an appropriate enroute GNSS prediction analysis, using the
software provided by the GNSS manufacturer, must be conducted prior to flight. For this analysis,
the following parameters, or equivalents, must be used:
a. the route or airspace RNP, where published; or
b. a centerline space of:
1. 20 NM for flight in CTA, and
2. 50 NM for flight in OCA.
6.3.3 Aircraft meeting the requirements for the use of GNSS as a primary means of navigation in
oceanic/remote continental airspace must indicate the approval in the flight notification. Such air-
craft may flight plan on designated ATS RNAV routes within Australian FIRs.

6.4 OPERATIONS IN OCEANIC AIRSPACE REQUIRING PERFORMANCE-


BASED COMMUNICATION AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS)
AUTHORIZATION
6.4.1 ICAO have introduced new provisions on PBCS calling for States to prescribe Required
Communication Performance (RCP) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP) specifications
in their airspace as appropriate to the level of air traffic services provided. RCP 240 and RSP 180
are being applied in addition to Required Navigation Performance (RNP) specifications to certain
separation minima in oceanic airspace by some States.
6.4.2 Australia has filed a difference with ICAO and has not yet implemented RCP or RSP.
6.4.3 Flights proceeding outside Australia should be aware that some States have prescribed
RCP 240 and RSP 180 specifications in their administered airspace. Those States may require
operators to be authorized by CASA to declare their RCP and RSP capabilities and for entering
the respective descriptors in their flight plans.
6.4.4 CASA has issued an Instrument, number CASA 33/18 – Required Communication Per-
formance and Required Surveillance Performance (RCP 240 and RSP 180) Capability Declara-
tions – Direction 2018, which states the requirements for Australian operators to assess their
compliance to RCP 240 and RSP 180 specifications and declare their readiness by entering the
respective RCP and RSP descriptors in their flight plans.
6.4.5 Guidance on PBCS and the subject CASA Instrument is provided in Advisory Circular (AC)
91-06 V1.0 (not published herein).

6.5 STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (SLOP) IN OCA


6.5.1 Aircraft operating in OCA within Australian administered airspace are authorized to use
strategic lateral offset procedures (SLOP) in accordance with the requirements detailed below.
6.5.2 The following requirements apply to the use of SLOP:
a. The offset must only be applied by aircraft with automatic offset tracking capability.
b. The offset must be established in tenths of a nautical mile up to a maximum of 2 NM to the
RIGHT of track relative to the direction of flight.
NOTE: Offsets to the left of track are not permitted.
c. The offset must only be applied during the enroute phase of flight.
d. The offset may only be used in OCA. Pilots must fly the route centerline for any portion of
their route within CTA. Pilots must return to centerline before leaving OCA or, where the sub-
sequent state does not allow SLOP, prior to leaving Australian administered airspace.
e. The offset must not be used in addition to diversions or other offsets; eg, weather or wake
turbulence.
f. The offset must not be applied at levels where obstacle clearance would be affected.
g. Identified aircraft:
1. may continue an offset in OCA; and
2. must advise ATC prior to initiating or changing an offset.
6.5.3 The decision to apply SLOP is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command – a clearance is
not required. Except when an identified aircraft initiates or changes a lateral offset, pilots are not
required to notify ATC that SLOP are being applied.
6.5.4 The use of SLOP is recommended in OCA for aircraft cruising at levels not in compliance
with the Table of Cruising Levels.

7 CLEARANCES — PILOT RESPONSIBILITY


7.1 A clearance issued by an ATS unit is only an authorization for the pilot-in-command to pro-
ceed in accordance with the terms of the clearance. The clearance is not an authorization for a
pilot to deviate from any regulation, order, operating standard or procedure, or minimum altitude
nor to conduct unsafe operations in their aircraft. Further, the issuance and acceptance of a clear-
ance in no way abrogates or transfers to an ATS unit the responsibilities of the pilot-in-command.

10 MINIMUM FUEL
10.1 The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring MINIMUM
FUEL when, having committed to land at a specific airport, the pilot-in-command calculates that
any change to the existing clearance to that airport may result in landing with less than fixed fuel
reserve.
NOTE 1: The declaration of MINIMUM FUEL informs ATC that all planned airport options have
been reduced to a specific airport of intended landing and any change to the existing clearance
may result in landing with less than final fuel reserve. This is not an emergency situation but an
indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional delay occur.
NOTE 2: Pilots should not expect any form of priority handling as a result of a “MINIMUM FUEL”
declaration. ATC will, however, advise the flight crew of any additional expected delays as well as
coordinate when transferring control of the aircraft to ensure other ATC units are aware of the
flight’s fuel state.

11 EMERGENCY FUEL
11.1 The pilot-in-command must declare a situation of fuel emergency by broadcasting
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY FUEL, when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available
upon landing at the nearest airport where a safe landing can be made is less than the final fuel
reserve.
NOTE 1: MAYDAY FUEL declaration is a distress message.
NOTE 2: In circumstances where a normal approach and landing is expected and the pilot
assesses there is no requirement for emergency services, ATS should be so advised as early as
possible, e.g., “EXPECTING NORMAL APPROACH AND LANDING, EMERGENCY SERVICES
NOT REQUIRED.”

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

NOTE: Pilots should not initiate VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud when weather condi-
tions are marginal. Before committing to operate VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud, pilots
should be confident that meteorological information used is reliable and current, and clearly indi-
cates that the entire flight will be able to be conducted in VMC.

13.4 SPECIAL STANDBY OF FIRE SERVICES


13.4.1 A pilot conducting training in take-offs and landings with a multi-engine aircraft may
request the airport RFFS to stand by on the field. The request must be made through ATS or
direct to the responsible Fire Officer.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 865

FLIGHT PLANNING

1 FLIGHT PLAN PREPARATION


1.1 Before beginning a flight, a pilot-in-command must study all available information appropri-
ate to the intended operation, and, in the cases of flights away from the vicinity of an airport,
flights over water and all IFR flights, must make a careful study of:
a. current weather reports and forecasts for the route to be flown and the airports to be used;
b. the airways facilities available on the route to be flown and the condition of those facilities;
c. the condition of airports to be used and their suitability for the aircraft to be used; and
d. the Air Traffic Control rules and procedures pertaining to the particular flight; and
e. all Head Office and FIR NOTAM applicable to the enroute phase of flight, and location-spe-
cific NOTAM for airports.
The pilot must then plan the flight in relation to the information obtained.

1.2 FORECASTS
1.2.1 Forecast information must include:
a. an airport forecast for the:
1. departure;
2. destination; and
3. when required, any alternate airports; and
b. one of the following:
1. a flight forecast; or
2. a GAF (at and below A100); or
3. a SIGWX forecast (above A100); and
c. a wind and temperature forecast.
For a flight to a destination for which a prescribed instrument approach procedure does not exist,
the minimum requirement is a GAF.
NOTE: A wind and temperature forecast may be obtained from Wind and Temperature Charts,
Grid Point Wind and Temperature Charts, Route Sector Winds and Temperatures Forecasts, a
NAIPS Wind and Temperature Profile (applicable for the flight), as well as from approved flight
planning systems that derive data from the Bureau of Meteorology of the WAFS.
1.2.2 For flights for which a forecast is required and cannot be obtained, the flight is permitted to
depart provided the pilot is satisfied that the weather at the departure point will permit the safe
return of the flight within one hour of departure. The flight is permitted to continue provided:
a. for Part 121 operations — the authorized weather forecasts for the route, destination and
any planned alternate airports, are obtained within 30 minutes after departure.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 866
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

b. for all other operations — the authorized weather forecast for the destination airport is
obtained within 30 minutes after departure.
1.2.3 For flights to a destination for which an airport forecast is required and cannot be obtained,
the flight is permitted to depart provided an alternate airport meeting all the requirements speci-
fied in ATC — AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS — Alternate Airports is provided.
1.2.4 A pilot-in-command must ensure that the forecasts cover the period of the flight and that
the airport forecasts for the destination and alternate airports, to be nominated in the flight plan,
are valid for a period of not less than 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA.
1.2.5 When a flight is delayed so that the meteorological and operational information does not
cover the period of flight, updates must be obtained, as necessary, to allow the flight to be conclu-
ded safely.
1.2.6 A series of flights may be included on the one flight plan provided that:
a. the meteorological forecast will cover all the flights; and
b. relevant AIS information is available at flight planning.
1.2.7 When preflight briefing is obtained more than one hour prior to EOBT, pilots should obtain
an update before each departure to ensure that the latest information available can be used for
the flight. The update should be obtained by NAIPS pilot access, telephone, or, when this is
impracticable, by radio.

1.3 GNSS PREDICTION ANALYSIS — FLIGHT IN OCEANIC AND REMOTE


AREAS
1.3.1 A requirement for flight in oceanic and remote areas using GNSS is that an appropriate
enroute GNSS prediction analysis be conducted prior to each flight.

2 PREFLIGHT INFORMATION AND FLIGHT NOTIFICATION

unfamiliar with the service. User documentation is available when the software is acquired.
2.3.3 The NAIPS database recognizes aerodrome abbreviations, waypoints, or common names
when providing SPFIB or for flight notifications. Retrieval of locations from NAIPS using the
common name function requires a correct match with the name. Special cases are as follows:
a. In the case of two names separated by an oblique stroke, e.g. Proserpine/Whitsunday Coast,
the location is retrieved by the first common name only.
b. For locations associated with a capital city aerodrome (e.g., Perth/Jandakot or Brisbane/
Archerfield), the location is retrieved by use of the second common name (i.e., Jandakot,
Archerfield).
c. Common names for airspace groups are retrieved by the use of the name plus the word “air-
space”.
d. If the common name for a location is in doubt, a search directory is available.

2.4 SPECIFIC PREFLIGHT INFORMATION BRIEFING (SPFIB)


2.4.1 An SPFIB is a briefing based on a route. The MET and NOTAM data presented is based
on set parameters of Route, Time and Height. Data outside these parameters will be omitted from
the briefing. The route can be either one stored in NAIPS and accessed via the route directory or
as described in the data entry form (either DCT or up to 30 waypoints).
2.4.2 All NOTAM in an SPFIB revert to a 1 line summary if the NOTAM is more than 7 days old.
Full text NOTAM are available if required. A briefing reference number is provided to enable
updates to be obtained from NAIPS or the briefing office. The update is available as long as the
briefing is valid (from 1 to 240 hours with a default of 24 hours).
2.4.3 SPFIB are available from NAIPS (via the Internet) and the briefing office. To assist with
obtaining briefings, routes between main city pairs are stored in NAIPS for use in SPFIB.
2.4.4 SPFIB Using stored routes
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 869
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

2.4.4.1 The stored routes are a High route (above FL200), Low route (below FL200) or Interna-
tional route (routes leaving Australia). More than one route may exist between any two locations.
A list of stored routes is available from the route directory.
2.4.4.2 Low level stored routes (prefixed with L and a number) will provide the following data:
a. Head Office NOTAM.
b. FIR NOTAM relevant to the route.
c. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
d. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
e. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
f. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50 NM radius of departure and destination.
g. Area forecasts, AIRMET, SIGMET and AIREP Specials.
h. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.
i. NOTAM on all locations within 50 NM either side of route, except surface NOTAM.
2.4.4.3 High level stored routes (prefixed with H and a number) will provide the following data:
a. Head Office NOTAM.
b. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
c. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
d. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
e. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50 NM radius of departure and destination.
f. FIR NOTAM relevant to the route and height band.
g. SIGMET and AIREP Specials.
h. Wind and temperature profile.
i. NOTAM on all locations within 50 NM either side of route, except surface NOTAM.
2.4.5 SPFIB using Ad-hoc routes.
2.4.5.1 When a stored route is not available, an SPFIB can be obtained by entering the depar-
ture, destination and alternate, and then describing the route as direct (DCT) or by entering up to
30 waypoints. This will provide the following data:
a. Head Office NOTAM.
b. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
c. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
d. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
e. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50 NM radius of departure and destination, unless departure or
destination is a latitude/longitude.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 870
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

f. AIREP Specials on waypoints in the route.


g. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.
h. Enroute NOTAM for waypoints in route, except surface NOTAM.
2.4.5.2 PRD, FIR NOTAM and area forecasts relating to the route are not automatically included
in the ad-hoc SPFIB and must be requested separately in the additional locations field. The data
in these fields is related to the planned flight level.
2.4.6 Briefing Filters.
2.4.6.1 The SPFIB tailors the briefing data as much as possible to that essential to the route.
Additionally data is filtered by use of time and planned flight level.
2.4.6.2 Time filter: NAIPS selects data by using the first EOBT and the time period specified by
the pilot (between 1 and 240 hours). Only current data or data becoming current during the speci-
fied time period will be presented in the SPFIB.
2.4.6.3 Flight level filter: NAIPS selects data by using the planned level of the aircraft and only
providing both NOTAM and MET information relating to that flight level. CAUTION: A briefing
done for a high flight level will not include data relevant to a low level. This may present a problem
if the aircraft descends to a lower level without updating the briefing.

2.5.3.1 A preflight briefing service is provided by the Briefing Office for adjoining Flight Informa-
tion Regions (FIR) where available. For pilots flight planning to Australia from locations such as
Norfolk I, an information service is available via telephone.

2.6 AVFAX (METEOROLOGICAL AND NOTAM FACSIMILE SERVICE)


2.6.1 AVFAX is a self help system which delivers meteorological and NOTAM information,
including charts, from NAIPS, to a nominated facsimile number, in response to a tone generated
telephone request. AVFAX products and custom codes can also be accessed online via the
NAIPS Internet Service. Each AVFAX briefing contains a reference number which can be used
online, quoted to the briefing office or in-flight to obtain an update on the original briefing.
Telephone:
1 800 805 150
NOTE: See Meteorology, Automated Briefing Systems.

2.7 METBRIEF (AUTOMATED METEOROLOGICAL TELEPHONE


BRIEFING)
2.7.1 METBRIEF is a self help system which delivers meteorological information on the tele-
phone, using a computer generated voice, in response to a tone generated telephone request.
Telephone:
1 800 805 150

2.8 FLIGHTWATCH (FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE ON REQUEST)


2.8.1 FLIGHTWATCH and ATC provide an in-flight NOTAM and meteorological briefing service
via air-ground communications channels to pilots unable to obtain information preflight, or who
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 872
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

require an in-flight briefing update. This service will be limited to information considered essential
to the first point of intended landing where access to a telephone or facsimile is available.

2.9 FLIGHT NOTIFICATION


2.9.1 The pilot-in-command is responsible for flight planning and notification and for the accu-
racy of the flight notification. If submitting notification via NAIPS, automatic validation of some
details will be carried out by the system. These include locations, EOBT and SARTIME details for
the flight. If details are not provided, or are incorrect, the NAIPS system will make the user aware
that an amendment should be made to the flight notification, if delays are not to be incurred.
2.9.2 Pilots must be mindful of how significant points or turning points are processed. If a
common name is entered in lieu of an airport abbreviation or navigational aid/waypoint, the flight
notification output will assume the aircraft is tracking over a navigational aid/waypoint e.g., the
location WALGETT will translate to WLG, not YWLG.
2.9.3 The aircraft identification “NOSEND” has been allocated for training purposes. Flight notifi-
cations filed with this call sign will not be processed by briefing offices.
2.9.4 If submitting details by facsimile:
a. print firmly and clearly with a black pen using block letters, correct errors by crossing out and
writing correct data adjacent. Do not overwrite;
b. check for errors or omissions prior to transmitting;
c. do not use highlighting pens on the plan prior to transmitting;
d. it is recommended that a departure point, contact phone or facsimile number is recorded on
both sides of the plan in case of a wrong side up transmission;
e. ensure the plan is sent to the correct number, and wait for the “OK” transmission message;
f. phone the briefing office if confirmation of receipt is required.
g. Confirmation of receipt is required when a SARTIME has been submitted.
2.9.5 Stored Flight Files
2.9.5.1 Stored flight files are specific preflight briefings (SPFIB) or flight notifications regularly
used by operators and which have been stored by users in the NAIPS Internet Service or that the
briefing office has agreed to store in the computer database after consultation with the company
concerned. Such flight files enable quick and efficient activation by either the pilot through pilot
access, or the briefing officers direct to NAIPS.
2.9.5.2 A flight notification stored in such a way is appended by the abbreviation -FPL to distin-
guish it from the SPFIB which may have the same company identifier.
2.9.5.3 It is the responsibility of the originating organization to ensure the accuracy of informa-
tion contained in stored flight files.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 873
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

2.9.6 Auto-Filed Flight Notifications


2.9.6.1 These are flight plans prepared by specialist flight planning organizations which some
airlines use to prepare and submit their plans to ATS units providing services to the flight.
2.9.7 Submission of Flight Notification with EOBT and DOF
2.9.7.1 Flight plans may be submitted up to 120 hours (5 days) in advance. All flight plans must
contain a date of flight (DOF), even if the flight is for the current day.
2.9.7.2 Flight Notifications submitted with an EOBT of more than 21 hours from the time of sub-
mission are stored and automatically distributed when the EOBT comes within 21 hours.
2.9.7.3 How to Enter the EOBT or DOF
Enter the EOBT as a four figure time in the format HHMM. Enter DOF as YYMMDD (even if the
date of flight is the current day).
2.9.7.4 Changes to EOBT and DOF
Changes may be made to the EOBT or DOF by:
a. Advising your new EOBT or DOF to the briefing office, or
b. Using the AMD/CNL function of the NAIPS Internet Service and enter your new EOBT or
DOF.
IMPORTANT: WHERE THE EOBT CHANGES ACROSS TIME 0000, BOTH EOBT AND DOF
MUST BE CHANGED.
2.9.7.5 Other Changes to Flight Notification
Other changes to your flight notification may be submitted as they currently are. However if a
CHG is submitted after the EOBT or DOF has passed the EOBT or DOF MUST be updated
along with any other changes that are made to the flight notification.
2.9.7.6 More Information
For further information or assistance on submitting a flight notification or Change to flight notifica-
tion, contact the National Briefing Office on 1800 805 150.

3 FLIGHT NOTIFICATION
3.1 Flight notification requirements are divided into two specific categories:
a. those affecting IFR flights; and
b. those affecting VFR flights.
IFR flights require the submission of flight notification details and the transmission of in-flight pro-
gress reports at regular intervals. SARWATCH is based primarily on the receipt of these reports
by ATS. (See also AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL — COMMUNICATIONS — Radio Communications.)
3.3 Pilots of VFR flights nominating a SARTIME to ATS, and those intending to operate in con-
trolled airspace (except for VFR flights in Class E airspace) must submit flight details to ATS.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 874
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

3.4 The order of preference for pilots to submit comprehensive flight notification are:
a. via pilot access to NAIPS (via the internet),
b. in writing,
c. by telephone, or
d. by radio to ATS.
3.5 Pilots should submit details required for flight in controlled airspace at least 30 minutes
before the expected time of entry. Flight details submitted with less than the 30 minutes notifica-
tion may be subject to delay.
3.6 Pilots submitting SARTIME flight notifications by facsimile must confirm receipt of the notifi-
cation with the briefing office. Further, Airservices strongly recommends that when any flight notifi-
cation is submitted by facsimile, the pilot or operator telephones the briefing office before depar-
ture to confirm that the facsimile has been received.
3.7 Abbreviated details for operations in controlled airspace may be advised by radio if the flight
is to operate locally, or operations will be for a brief duration. However, prior contact with ATC
may avoid delays. Pilots may submit details by radio to ATS when associated with a clearance
request, or to nominate a SARTIME.
3.8 When submitting flight notification by radio, pilots should be mindful of the need to minimize
frequency congestion and transmit only that information required by ATS for the current flight
stage. Acceptance is subject to ATS workload and may be delayed.
3.9 Submission of comprehensive travel flight notification by radio is not a preferred method of
notification and should not be used when submission by some other means is available. Flight
notification by radio for travel flights requiring the submission of comprehensive details will not be
accepted at controlled aerodromes.
3.10 Pilots of VFR flights wishing to operate in other than Classes C or D airspace, and who
wish to nominate a SARTIME, may submit details in the NAIPS SARTIME flight notification format
(via the internet). If submitting the flight notification by facsimile or via telephone, the only form
available is the Australian Domestic Flight Notification form.
Pilots conducting a Community Service Flight as defined in ATC — DEFINITIONS AND ABBRE-
VIATIONS are required to submit a flight notification (see paragraph 3.22 below and ATC — SPE-
CIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS — Requirements for Community Service Flights
(CSF)) and identify the flight as a community service flight by entering the acronym “CSF” in the
remarks section of the flight notification. If the flight notification is submitted by radio, the pilot is
required to request ATS to annotate the flight as a CSF.
NOTE: Pilots are also required to annotate their personal logbook entry for the flight (required by
regulation 61.345) to reflect that the flight was conducted as a CSF.
3.12 If a VFR flight is one of the following:
a. a flight conducting an air transport operation; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 875
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

b. a flight over water that is conducted beyond a distance from land greater than that which
would allow the aircraft to reach land with an engine inoperative; or
c. a flight in a designated remote area; or
d. a flight at night proceeding beyond 120 NM from the airport of departure;
Then the pilot in command must ensure one of the following has occurred:
a. submission of a flight plan, or
b. nomination of a SARTIME for arrival, or
c. leave a flight note with a responsible person.
3.13 VFR flights which are required to, or wish to, use a SARTIME may do so by providing ATS
with the following details:
a. call sign;
b. aircraft type;
c. departure point;
d. route to be flown;
e. destination;
f. POB; and
g. SARTIME.
NOTE: Only one SARTIME may be current at any time. To prevent the existence of multiple
SARTIMEs for aircraft used by more than one pilot, SARTIMEs should be nominated imme-
diately before the start of each flight.
3.14 VFR flights operating on SARTIME are requested to include contact telephone details for
the pilot or company at the destination where available.
3.15 VFR flights may operate on reporting schedules in the following circumstances:
a. flood, fire or famine relief flights;
b. search and rescue flights;
c. overwater flights; and
d. military flights.
3.16 When the pilot of a flight wishes to indicate a variation of SAR requirements, this must be
indicated in Item 8 – Flight Rules, amplified in Item 15 (Route) by the position at which the change
will occur, followed by the new flight rules.
3.17 Submission of flight details at least 30 minutes before EOBT is recommended.
3.18 Where notification of flight details, or changes to details, are submitted less than 30
minutes before EOBT, delays will be encountered when an ATC unit requires that the data be
programmed into the computerized SSR Code/Call Sign Management System.

3.19 The preferred method to cancel a SARTIME is via telephone to CENSAR on 1800 814 931.
When telephone facilities are not available you may use ATS frequencies.
3.20 SARTIMEs are managed on a national basis by the central SARTIME management data-
base, CENSAR.

4.1 FORMS
4.1.1 An example of the Australian Domestic flight notification form is included in paragraph 8.
Instructions for completion of the Australian Domestic Flight Notification form for both IFR and
VFR flights are also contained in paragraph 8. In a number of cases, particularly in Item 19, com-
pletion is recommended as good practice. If mandatory fields are left incomplete, delays may
occur.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 877
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

NOTE: The reverse side of the Australian Flight Notification Form contains a “flight log/template”
to assist pilots in planning and navigation. It is not intended to be mandatory or prescriptive, and
pilots may use any template, or other device, of their choice.
4.1.2 The flight notification forms are available from the Airservices website (www.airservice-
saustralia.com/flight-briefing/).
4.1.3 The suggested format for a Flight Note is at APPENDIX 3. This form is available from the
CASA website: www.casa.gov.au.

4.2 FLIGHT RULES


4.2.1 Flight rules must be indicated in any flight notification, except for VFR flights operating
wholly outside controlled airspace nominating a SARTIME.
4.2.2
4.2.2 Flights which, within a single stage, will be flown under both the IFR and VFR must indi-
cate:
a. in the Flight Rules section of the flight notification, the flight rules applicable to the first route
segment of the flight plan, Y to indicate IFR first followed by one or more changes of flight
rules, or Z to indicate VFR first followed by one or more changes of flight rules;
b. in Field 15 of the flight notification, the position at which the change of flight rules will occur;
and
c. for each subsequent stage, the flight rules applicable to that stage, with a change in Field 15
if applicable.
NOTE: The use of Y or Z must not be used to indicate a variation of flight rules between individual
stages. Where the flight rules field is left blank on a multistage flight, the previous flight rule will
apply.

4.3 PBN NOTIFICATION


4.3.1 No indication on the flight notification form is required for Visual Navigation or DR Substi-
tute applications of GNSS.
4.3.2 Notification of PBN capabilities requires a combination of entries in Item 10 (Equipment
and Capabilities) and Item 18 of the ATS Flight Notification Form. Guidance is provided in Appen-
dix 2 to this section.
4.3.3

4.4 MILITARY FLIGHT


4.4.1 Military flights operating on LJR for any part of a flight must submit flight notification to
ATS, regardless of flight rules.

4.5 GENERAL
4.6.1
4.5.1 Pilots of flights operating IFR under a Private IFR rating must include this advice when
submitting flight notification. Flight Procedure Authorizations (FPAs) applicable to flight within con-
trolled airspace must also be included.
4.5.2 For flights not operating along an ATS route, reporting points should be provided in
Item 15 for locations approximately 30 minutes or 200 NM apart.

4.6 LOCATION DATA


4.6.1 Any location abbreviations used should be authorized abbreviations (e.g., published in
AIP).
4.6.2 If a common name is entered into NAIPS in lieu of an airport abbreviation or navigational
aid/way-point, the flight notification output will assume that the aircraft is tracking over a naviga-
tional aid/way-point and not the airport; e.g., the location HOLBROOK will translate to HBK, not
YHBK.
4.6.3 Some locations with abbreviations may not have fixed positions (e.g., HAS associated with
a mobile oil platform or ship). These location codes are linked to a fixed geographical coordinates
in systems and detests. To ensure correct provision of ATS, in the event a platform is relocated or
is in the process of relocating, the NOTAM office must be immediately advised. A NOTAM will be
issued to suspend use of the 4-letter location code in flight plans. Pilots must then use the “ZZZZ”
procedure as specified in AIP ENR 1.10 Appendix 2 Item 13 and Item 16.
When the NOTAM office is notified that the mobile oil platform/ship is back in its original position,
the NOTAM will be cancelled and use of the 4-letter location code in flight plans may resume.

must also advise, prior to takeoff, that the flight is subject to a SARTIME.
5.3 To assist in managing the airways system, pilots should always warn ATS of any flight notifi-
cation amendments by utilizing appropriate alerting phraseologies; e.g.:
“MELBOURNE CENTER, DELTA MIKE GOLF, IFR FLIGHT PLAN AMENDMENT”
or
“FLIGHTWATCH, DELTA MIKE GOLF, SARTIME FLIGHT PLAN AMENDMENT”.

6 CARRIAGE OF FLIGHT DOCUMENTATION

7 AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


7.1 FLOW MANAGEMENT STAGES
7.1.1 At major airports within Australia, Air Traffic Flow Management procedures are applied to
manage demand and capacity at specific airports. These procedures are defined in 3 stages:
a. Strategic — Generally occurs more than one day prior to the day of operation. This is known
as schedule coordination and is managed by the specific airport operator, who may use an
independent coordinator to manage the scheme.
b. Pre tactical — Occurs on the day prior to operation through the implementation of traffic
management initiatives such as a Ground Delay Program (GDP). Airservices Australia Net-
work Coordination Centre (NCC) manages this service.
c. Tactical — Occurs on the day of operation and uses real time traffic information to sequence
traffic to the destination airport. Airservices Australia ATC manage this service.
7.1.2 Tactical flow management takes precedence over pre tactical air traffic flow management
which in turn takes precedence over strategic air traffic flow management.

7.2 STRATEGIC — SCHEDULE COORDINATION


7.2.1 An airline has the responsibility to obtain permission to operate services from the airport
owner and/or operator.
7.2.2 In addition, all aircraft operators (excluding emergency and state aircraft) must obtain time-
slots (slots) in advance of the operation from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) in accordance
with the following table:

Airport Type of operation


Sydney, Brisbane and Perth All arrivals and departures
Adelaide and Darwin All international and scheduled domestic flights
Cairns, Gold Coast and Melbourne All international flights

7.2.4 Notification of changes to slots allocated to existing scheduled flights should be advised to
ACA in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate traffic management scheme.
7.2.5 ACA slots may be obtained outside ACA office hours for short notice non-scheduled flights
from the NCC on 1800 020 626. These slots will be allocated from the available pool.
7.2.6 Allocated ACA slots may be subject to change by ATFM due to operational constraints.

7.3 PRE TACTICAL — GROUND DELAY PROGRAM


7.3.1 General
7.3.1.1 The NCC publishes GDP for:
a. arrivals to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth Airports; and
b. departures from Perth Airport.
7.3.1.2 Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and
descent profiles.
7.3.2 Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT)
7.3.2.1 Pilots must obtain an Air Traffic Flow Management COBT for operations at a GDP air-
port. Pilots of scheduled flights will receive their COBT through their operator. Other flights may
obtain a COBT through the NCC by email: atfmu@airservicesaustralia.com or Ph: 1800 020 626
H24.
7.3.2.2 Failure to obtain a COBT and/or submit a flight plan for a flight to a GDP program airport
will result in the flight being considered early non-compliant.
7.3.2.3 All aircraft are required to operate within the compliance window for their allocated
COBT. Aircraft unable to operate within the compliance window are to obtain a new COBT
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 882
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

through their operator or the NCC (as per paragraph 7.3.2.1). ATC are not able to provide new or
amended COBT.

Type of COBT COBT compliance window


Arrivals (SY, BN, ML, PH) -5 min to +15 min
Departure (PH) -5 min to +10 min

7.3.2.4 For early non-compliant flights, ATC will only issue a clearance to push back or taxi for a
significant ground-based operational requirement or if there is a reasonable expectation that, due
to taxi or runway-holding position delays, the required CTOT will be achieved.
7.3.2.5 If a new COBT has been issued after receiving airways clearance, pilots are to advise
ATC of the amended COBT when calling for a start/pushback/taxi clearance.
7.3.2.6 Notwithstanding actions taken under 7.3.2.3 and 7.3.2.4 to achieve compliance, flights
departing non-compliant can expect delays enroute. Non-compliant flights will be allocated the
next available slot time up to a maximum delay as follows:
a. Early non-compliant – 60 min; or
b. Late non-compliant – published traffic holding delay.
7.3.3 Non-scheduled Flights
7.3.3.1 Prior to submitting a flight plan, pilots of non-scheduled flights intending to operate into a
GDP airport during the hours of program operation:
a. a. should, if required, obtain an ACA slot from ACA prior to contacting the NCC; and
b. must contact the NCC for a COBT and, if unable to obtain prior, an ACA slot.
7.3.3.2 Where possible pilots should contact the NCC prior to 0800 UTC the day before to
ensure their flight in included in the GDP run for the following day. Operators who contact the
NCC after the GDPs have been run will be allocated the next available COBT.
7.3.3.3 Pilots must provide the following information to the NCC at least one hour prior to the
proposed operation. Any changes must be notified to the NCC prior to departure.
(1) Aircraft call sign
(2) Aircraft registration
(3) Aircraft type
(4) Departure airport
(5) Destination airport
(6) ETD (UTC time only)
(7) ETA (UTC time only)
(8) COBT notification email/mobile phone number
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 883
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

7.3.3.4 Notification of flight details to the NCC is additional to all existing flight plan notification
requirements.
7.3.3.5 Pilots of non-scheduled flights must check their COBT for any amendments prior to flight
by:
a. being able to receive a message from the NCC via their mobile phone/email; or
b. contacting the NCC within one hour of the flight; or
c. where no communication facilities are available, contacting the domestic HF frequency.
7.3.4 GDP Run Times
7.3.4.1 GDPs for the following day’s operations are normally run at the following times:

Location Time (UTC)


Perth (Departures Only) 0815
Perth (Arrivals Only) 0845
Melbourne 0915
Brisbane 1000
Sydney 1100
Sydney (Revision) 1800 (1700 during HDS)

7.3.5 GDP Revision


7.3.5.1 When unforeseen circumstances significantly reduce the capacity of an airport, a GDP
revision may be initiated and pilots must obtain a new COBT. Tower ATC may stop departures to
the GDP airport to facilitate the revision.
7.3.5.2 There are three levels of revision:
a. Level 1 – compliance with the new COBT will commence in 30 min; or
b. Level 2 – immediate compliance with the new COBT should be observed, however flights
that have already maneuvered to depart may continue; or
c. Level 3 – immediate compliance with the new COBT should be observed by all flights.
NOTE: Level 2 and 3 revisions will not be applied to flights departing Perth, Darwin, Karratha,
Port Hedland or Broome, for Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
7.3.5.3 The NCC will advise pilots and operators when a revision occurs. This advice may be
provided through ATS when required. When a level 2 or 3 GDP revision occurs, ATS will advise
pilots subject to immediate compliance.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 884

7.4 TACTICAL
7.4.1 Aircraft Sequencing Near ATFM Airports
7.4.1.1 Due to terminal area traffic density, pilots may expect airborne traffic delays for arrival at
locations adjacent to or within Class C control zones.
7.4.1.2 When sequencing arriving aircraft to controlled airports, ATC may apply one or more of
the following:
a. Enroute holding procedures;
b. Allocate a waypoint crossing time to the pilot; or
c. Tactically apply delaying action such as speed control or vectoring.
7.4.1.3 When ATC allocates a waypoint crossing time, aircraft must adjust speed to cross the
waypoint at the specified time or up to 30 seconds early. Speed adjustment to meet a waypoint
crossing time only applies to the specified waypoint. Unless otherwise published or instructed by
ATC, pilots must cross the waypoint at the lesser of 250 kt or profile speed.
7.4.1.4 Aircraft unable to meet the waypoint crossing time must inform ATC as early as possible.

7.5 BRISBANE (YBBN) AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


PROCEDURES
7.5.1 Strategic ATFM — Runway Demand Management Scheme (RDMS)

MENT.

7.6 MELBOURNE (YMML) AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


PROCEDURES
7.6.1 Ground Delay Program (GDP) Inbound
Melbourne GDPs are applicable to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing from all Australian
domestic airports, and arriving at Melbourne BTN 2000–1400 UTC DLY (1HR earlier during hours
of daylight savings).
Except as specified in the Note below, flights from all Australian airports are required to operate in
accordance with the Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT). The COBT can be obtained through
their company or the Network Coordination Centre on 1800 020 626.
NOTE: COBTs generated by Perth Departure Management Program will take precedence over
COBTs generated by the Melbourne Arrivals GDP.
Flights departing within a 60 NM radius of Melbourne must also obtain a start clearance from the
departure airport when active or from Melbourne ATC 03 9235 7337.
7.6.2 Ground Delay Program (GDP) Outbound
Aircraft departing Melbourne (YMML) airport for an Australian Airport with a Ground Delay Pro-
gram must contact ACD 127.2 after receiving an Airways Clearance and prior to start. ACD will
check compliance with COBT before transferring to SMC 121.7.
7.6.3 Clearance and Pushback Procedures
All departures requiring a pushback must call ACD on 127.2 with their request. ACD will instruct
flightcrew to “monitor ground” or “monitor ground on 121.7”. When clearance is AVBL “Melbourne
Ground” (SMC) will issue the pushback clearance or other instruction. This procedure may be
used at any time and will be advised via ATIS.

7.7 MELBOURNE (YMEN) AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


PROCEDURES
7.7.1 Ground Delay Program (GDP)
Essendon Arrivals during Melbourne GDP
When the Melbourne TAF indicates a visibility of less than 5000m and a ceiling of less than 1600
ft an Essendon Slot Scheme may be operating. This is dependant on weather and runway config-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 886
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

urations planned to be in operation between the two Airports during the GDP, as Essendon Arriv-
als may become part of the arrivals sequence into Melbourne.
Fixed wing ACFT arriving at Essendon during these periods must contact the Network Coordina-
tion Centre (NCC) on 1800 020 626 to book a slot for arrival into Essendon.
Operators who upload a schedule into Metron Harmony or provide a schedule to the NCC will
have their ACFT automatically assigned a slot. ACFT operators will still need to confirm their allo-
cated slot time with the NCC.
All aircraft subject to the Essendon Slot Scheme must arrive within -5/+15 minutes of their alloca-
ted slot. Pilots unable to operate within the compliance window must contact the NCC to obtain a
new slot.
Failure to obtain or comply with a slot and/or to submit a flight plan for a flight to Essendon Airport
may result in extensive airborne holding or Airways Clearance being withheld if Essendon Airport
has no compatible arrival slots available.
A NOTAM will be issued notifying times the Essendon Slot Scheme is in operation or cancelling it
if weather conditions change.
Priority Flights as defined in AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES, paragraph 7.1 A-G are
exempt from this procedure.

7.8 PERTH (YPPH) AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES


A slot allocation system and a ground delay program (GDP) applies at Perth airport. Details,
including the allocation and use of Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT), can be found in para-
graph AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT.
The arrival GDP applies to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing from all Australian domestic
airports and arriving at Perth between 0030–1400 UTC MON–FRI. In addition, flights departing
from Jandakot for a landing at Perth must contact Perth Centre on 135.25 prior to starting
engines.
The departures GDP applies to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing Perth between 2130–
0030 UTC MON–FRI. PH SMC will make a general broadcast on 121.7 and 122.2 advising early
clearance is AVBL when demand is lower than capacity due to gate delays.
During periods when start approvals are required due extensive DLA, ACFT will be assigned a
‘start sequence number’ at clearance issue. When issuing a start approval, the Ground Controller
will quote that ACFTs ‘start sequence number’ to assist other ACFT in determining their position
in the start order. If assigned a start sequence number pilots must monitor ground 121.7 and
122.2 for this advice and start approval. Operators may request to swap start sequence numbers
of own company ACFT by contacting Perth Tower via phone: 08 9476 8625.

to any ATC restrictions.
1.8.1.2 Pilots desiring to climb through cloud, haze, smoke, or other meteorological formation
may request a climb to VFR-on-top.
1.8.1.3 ATC clearance to “Maintain VFR-on-top” is not intended to restrict pilots so that they
must operate only above an obscuring meteorological formation (layer). Instead, the clearance
permits operation above, below, between layers, or in areas where there is no meteorological
obscuration.
1.8.1.4 When, in the controller’s judgement, there is reason to believe that flight in VMC may
become impracticable, the controller must issue an alternative clearance that ensures separation
from all other aircraft for which they have separation responsibility.
1.8.1.5 The pilot of an IFR flight cleared to “Maintain VFR-on-top” will receive a service in
accordance with ATC Procedures outlined below.
1.8.1.6 An appropriate clearance must be obtained prior to entering a different class of control-
led airspace.
1.8.1.7 ATC resumes separation responsibility when the aircraft is re-cleared to maintain an IFR
level.

1.8.2 Pilot Procedures


1.8.2.1 The pilot of an IFR flight requires a clearance to operate VFR-on-top.
1.8.2.2 When operating with an ATC clearance to “Maintain VFR-on-top”, pilots on IFR flight
plans must:
a. fly at the appropriate VFR levels as prescribed in Tables of Cruising Levels.
b. comply with the VFR visibility and distance from cloud criteria stipulated in Visual Meteoro-
logical Conditions (VMC).
c. comply with instrument flight rules that are applicable to the flight; ie, minimum IFR altitudes,
position reporting, radio communications, cleared route, adherence to ATC clearance, etc;
and
d. advise ATC prior to any altitude change to ensure the exchange of accurate traffic informa-
tion.
1.8.2.3 The pilot of an aircraft operating VFR-on-top must maintain vigilance so as to see and
avoid other aircraft. Additionally, the pilot accepts the responsibility for wake turbulence separa-
tion.
1.8.3 ATC Procedures
1.8.3.1 On receiving a request for VFR-on-top, ATC may instruct the pilot to climb to “VFR-on-
top”. This instruction will include:
a. if required, a clearance limit, routing, and an alternative clearance if VFR-on-top is not
reached by a specified altitude;
b. the requirement to report reaching VFR-on-top; and
c. the reported height of the tops or that no tops reports are available.
1.8.3.2 When the pilot reports reaching VFR-on-top, ATC re-clears the aircraft to “Maintain VFR-
on-top” and will provide:
a. mutual traffic information service on IFR flights;
b. traffic information service on known VFR flights as far as practicable; and
c. a flight information service.
NOTE: IFR separation is not provided.
1.8.3.3 ATC will not clear an aircraft to “Maintain VFR-on-top” at night to separate holding air-
craft from each other or from enroute aircraft unless restrictions are applied to ensure the appro-
priate IFR vertical separation.

1.9 DESCENT AND APPROACH


1.9.1 General
1.9.1.1 Most companies operating jet aircraft have agreed to a standard descent profile which
may be specified in the operator’s operational document suite. Pilots must adhere to this profile
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 916
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

unless operational reasons require, or ATC instructs or approves, otherwise. A sustained speed
variation of more than ±10KT IAS or ±M0.02 must be advised to ATC.
1.9.1.2 Pilots are not required to nominate a descent point if identified.
1.9.1.3 Pilots of IFR flights leaving Classes A, C, D or E airspace should, before entering Class
G airspace, contact the ATS unit providing services in that airspace.
1.9.2 Instrument Approach
1.9.2.1 ATC Authorization — Unless authorized to make a visual approach, an IFR flight must
conform to the published instrument approach procedure nominated by ATC.
1.9.2.2 A pilot request to conduct a specific approach should be made prior to STAR clearance
issue, or prior to top of descent for arriving aircraft not on a STAR eligible route.
1.9.2.3 Authorization for final approach will be in the form of a clearance for the type of
approach as shown on the approach chart title. If visual at the minima, the nominated runway
then becomes the clearance limit subject to any further ATC instructions and a clearance to land.
In the event that the aircraft is unable to land from the instrument approach or loses visual refer-
ence while circling, the aircraft is cleared to carry out the published missed approach unless ATC
directs otherwise. The pilot in command must seek further ATC instructions prior to reaching the
end of the missed approach procedure.
1.9.2.4 Where an instrument approach results in the aircraft leaving controlled airspace, the
clearance for the approach also provides clearance for the aircraft to re-enter overlying controlled
airspace or restricted area in the event of a missed approach. ATC should be advised as soon as
possible on the missed approach.
1.9.2.5 The full chart title of the instrument approach procedure, as described at the top of the
relevant chart, must be used in all clearances, coordination and readbacks relating to the proce-
dure, including entry procedures. However, with the exception of circling approaches, the suffix
may be omitted if there is no possibility of confusion. Where multiple approaches procedures are
on the same chart, only the approach procedure being conducted shall be referred to.
1.9.2.6 Aircraft may be instructed to track via an instrument approach procedure and a level
restriction assigned, if the aircraft is:
a. in VMC conducting instrument approach training; or
b. a military aircraft:
1. conducting a non-precision approach; or
2. conducting a precision approach provided that clearance for the approach is issued in
sufficient time for the aircraft to maintain the required descent rate in accordance with
the published procedure.
1.9.3 Visual Approach (rules related to ATC)
1.9.3.1 ATC Authorization — Except as detailed in the next paragraph, the criteria under which
visual approaches may be authorized by ATC are as follows:
a. For an IFR flight:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 917
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1. By day when:
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport; and
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the airport with continuous visual
reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m, or for helicopters 800m, or the
airport is in sight.
2. By night when:
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the airport with continuous visual
reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m; and
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport; or
– if being vectored, the flight has been assigned the minimum vector altitude (MVA)
and given heading or tracking instructions to intercept final or to position the aircraft
within the circling area of the airport.
b. For a VFR flight by day and night, the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport.
1.9.3.2 In addition to the requirements of the previous paragraph, with the exception of Austral-
ian and New Zealand operators and aircraft conducting independent visual approaches at
Sydney, Super or Heavy jet aircraft will only be assigned a visual approach when:
a. specifically requested by the pilot, and the pilot has reported the landing runway in sight; or
b. the straight-in approach aid is unserviceable.
1.9.3.3 In the case of sub-para b. above, the aircraft will be:
a. vectored to intercept final no closer than 8 NM from the runway threshold, at an altitude not
less than 2500 ft Above Airport Level (AAL); and
b. assigned a straight-in visual approach when:
1. established on final or on a heading to intercept final course at an angle of not more
than 30 degrees; and
2. visual glideslope guidance (VASIS/PAPI) is available; and
3. the pilot has reported the landing runway in sight.
1.9.3.4 Circuit Joining — ATC may issue an instruction to join on a leg of the circuit or via:
a. Upwind, which directs circuit entry tracking upwind over the nominated runway centerline at
the specified altitude; or
b. Overfly, which directs circuit entry into the opposing circuit by overflying the nominated
runway at the specified altitude.

1.10 LANDING
1.10.1 Provision of Operational Information
1.10.1.1 ATC will supply the following information for landing operations:
a. runway or direction;
b. wind direction and speed, QNH and, if required, temperature and/or dew point;
c. known significant weather information, including low cloud and visibility or runway visual
range;
d. the crosswind component on the runway to be used, if this equals or exceeds 8 kt for single-
engine aircraft or 12 kt for multi-engine aircraft;
e. the tailwind component;
f. airport surface conditions significant to the operation, including maintenance work within 23m
of the runway side stripe marking;
g. birds or other hazards to aircraft; and
h. cautionary advice of wake turbulence.
1.10.2 Selection of Landing Direction
1.10.2.1 The pilot-in-command must ensure that the nominated runway or direction is operation-
ally suitable. If the nominated runway or direction is not suitable then ATC must be advised using
the phrase “REQUIRE RUNWAY (number)”. Such a request will not result in loss of priority provi-
ded it is made:
a. before reaching 80 NM (120 NM for jets) from a capital city airport (including Essendon) or
30 NM from other primary controlled airports, for arriving aircraft wholly within controlled air-
space; or
b. on first contact with ATC for arriving aircraft entering controlled airspace within the distance
specified above or a control area step or a control zone.
1.10.2.2 The decision to land rests solely with the pilot-in-command.
1.10.3 Selection of Circuit Direction
1.10.3.1 A pilot-in-command must notify ATC if a particular turn or circuit is essential to the safe
operation of the aircraft. The word REQUIRE must be used to enable ATC to identify the safety
requirement.
1.10.4 Downwind Report to Tower
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, the pilot of an arriving or circuit training aircraft must report
DOWNWIND when starting or entering the downwind leg of the traffic circuit. If frequency conges-
tion prevents the call being made when starting the downwind leg, the pilot must report MID-
DOWNWIND or LATE-DOWNWIND as appropriate.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 920
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.10.5 Clearances
1.10.5.1 A pilot-in-command must not land unless the specific clearance “CLEARED TO LAND”
has been received.
NOTE: ATC approval must be obtained if asymmetric training is to be carried out within 5 NM of a
controlled airport.
1.10.6 Separation Minima for Landing
1.10.6.1 The appropriate wake turbulence separation standard will be applied by ATC between
landing aircraft, except when a pilot has been assigned responsibility to maintain separation with
another aircraft.
1.10.6.2 A landing aircraft will not be permitted to cross the threshold of the runway on its final
approach until:
a. a preceding departing aircraft using the same runway:
1. is airborne, and
– has commenced a turn; or
– is beyond the point on the runway at which the landing aircraft could be expected to
complete its landing roll and there is sufficient distance to maneuver safely in the
event of a missed approach;
2. is at least 1000m from the runway threshold, and
– has commenced the take-off run, and
– in the opinion of the controller, no collision risk exists, and
– the aircraft taking off has a MTOW of 7000kg or less, and
– the landing aircraft is performance category A and has a MTOW below 3000kg.
b. a preceding landing aircraft using the same runway:
1. has vacated it and is taxiing away from the runway; or
2. has landed and has passed a point at least 1000m from the threshold of the runway and
will vacate the runway without backtracking, and
– in the opinion of the tower controller, no collision risk exists, and
– the preceding landing aircraft has a MTOW of 7000kg or less, and
– the following landing aircraft is performance category A and has a MTOW below
3000kg; or
3. has landed and has passed a point at least 600m from the threshold of the runway, is in
motion and will vacate the runway without backtracking; and
– the preceding landing aircraft has a MTOW of less than 7000kg, and
– the following landing aircraft has a MTOW of 2000kg or less, or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 921
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

4. in the case where the following landing aircraft is a helicopter, the preceding landing air-
craft is at least 300m down the runway from the threshold and ATC is satisfied no colli-
sion risk exists.
c. a preceding aircraft, using a different runway, has crossed or stopped short of the landing
aircraft’s runway.
In the above situations, a landing clearance may be issued if ATC expect that the required runway
separation standard will exist.
1.10.6.3 Other than as specified in Conditions for LAHSO, exceptions to separation minima are:
a. aircraft landing in formation with respect to each other; and
b. aircraft operating in different areas or lanes on airports with runways or facilities suitable for
simultaneous landings.

1.11 CIRCUIT OPERATIONS


1.11.1 Sequencing
1.11.1.1 When appropriate, ATC will issue a sequencing instruction.
1.11.1.2 In sequencing aircraft ATC will indicate the position of the preceding aircraft by refer-
ence to a leg of the circuit or as a clock bearing, and describe it either as a specific type or in
general terms (e.g., Cessna or Twin).
1.11.1.3 ATC may issue a sequence number. Sequence numbers specify the landing sequence
position of an aircraft with respect to any preceding traffic.
1.11.1.4 When issued with a sequencing instruction, a pilot must follow the preceding aircraft
and continue to do so unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
1.11.1.5 The instruction FOLLOW requires the pilot to sight the preceding aircraft, and regulate
circuit speed and approach path to achieve longitudinal separation. If the preceding aircraft
cannot be sighted and identified, the pilot must advise ATC.
1.11.2 Non-Standard Circuit Operations
1.11.2.1 Pilots must advise ATC of non-standard circuit operations, e.g., glide and flapless cir-
cuits, normally with the DOWNWIND report. This advice will also alert other circuit traffic. ATC
must also be advised of single-engined aircraft conducting simulated engine failures at the earli-
est opportunity.
1.11.2.2 Where appropriate, an ATC sequencing instruction will indicate that there are no traffic
restrictions precluding the maneuver. Subject to traffic, ATC may deny, or apply parameters to
such operations for traffic management purposes.
1.11.3 Parallel Runway Operations at Class D Airports
Where a Class D airport is equipped with parallel runways, ATC may sequence aircraft for simul-
taneous contra-circuits and may conduct these operations using separate Tower frequencies for
each runway. Operations will be regulated independently in each circuit, with an ATC clearance
required to enter the opposite circuit or airspace.

1.12 GO AROUND AND MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE IN VMC


1.12.1 Except as specified in ERSA (not published herein) for specific locations, an aircraft that
is required to go around from a visual approach in VMC must initially climb on runway track,
remain visual and await instructions from ATC. If the aircraft can not clear obstacles on runway
track, the aircraft may turn.
1.12.2 In the event an aircraft is unable, or does not wish, to land from an instrument approach
in VMC, the aircraft must carry out the published instrument missed approach procedure for the
instrument approach being flown, unless ATC directs otherwise.
1.12.3 At Class D airports with parallel runways where contra-rotating circuit operations are in
progress, if ATC instructs, or a pilot initiates a go around, the pilot must:
a. commence climb to circuit altitude;
b. position the aircraft on the active side and parallel to the nominated duty runway, while main-
taining separation from other aircraft; and
c. follow ATC instructions or re-enter the circuit from upwind.

1.13 TAXIING AFTER LANDING


1.13.1 A pilot-in-command must not hold on the runway in use unless ATC has so authorized.
1.13.2 After landing, unless otherwise specified by ATC, an aircraft must:
a. promptly vacate the runway without backtracking;
b. change from the tower frequency to the ground frequency (where established) when vacat-
ing the runway strip and obtain an ATC taxi instruction;
c. not cross any runway that intersects the taxi route unless in receipt of a taxi instruction and a
“CROSS RUNWAY (number)” instruction from ATC; and
d. taxi to the destination via the most direct taxiway(s) available.
e. Where an apron service is provided on a discrete frequency, change to that frequency on
entering the apron.
1.13.3 A taxi instruction which contains a taxi limit beyond a runway must include a “CROSS
RUNWAY (number)” instruction to cross that runway. When an aircraft is required to hold short of
a runway intersecting the taxi route, ATC will issue a taxi instruction limit of the runway-holding
position associated with the intersecting runway.
1.13.4 An aircraft which has been issued with a taxi instruction limit of the runway-holding posi-
tion of a runway intersecting the taxi route, or which has been issued with an instruction to “HOLD
SHORT” of that runway, must subsequently be issued with an instruction to “CROSS RUNWAY
(number)”.
1.13.5 Aircraft required to hold short of a runway must hold at the appropriate runway-holding
position for that runway, or the runway strip edge at the intersection of a crossing runway.
1.13.6 When separate frequencies for airport control and surface movement control (SMC) are
in use, the pilot-in-command, on landing, must change from the airport control frequency to the
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 923
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

SMC frequency on vacating the runway strip, and then transmit the aircraft call sign and, if appli-
cable, parking bay number. A pilot-in-command may “REQUEST DETAILED TAXI INSTRUC-
TIONS TO (location)”.
1.13.7 The taxi clearance regulates movement on the maneuvering area. The separation of air-
craft taxiing on the maneuvering area is a joint pilot and controller responsibility. Taxi clearance
shall contain concise instructions and adequate information so as to assist flight crew to follow the
correct taxi routes, to avoid collision with other aircraft and objects and to minimize the potential
for the aircraft inadvertently entering a runway.
1.13.8 A taxi clearance will not relate to movement on the apron areas. However, available
essential information referring to other aircraft entering or leaving the same apron area will be pro-
vided.
1.13.9 Radio watch must be maintained on the SMC or tower frequency (where no SMC fre-
quency is provided) until parked.

2 OPERATIONS IN CLASS E AIRSPACE


2.1 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES
2.1.1 In Class E airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted. IFR flights are provided with an air
traffic control service, are separated from other IFR flights, and receive traffic information on VFR
flights as far as is practicable. VFR flights receive a Surveillance Information Service (SIS), where
available, on request.
2.1.2 Traffic information services provided by ATC do not relieve pilots of their responsibilities
for continued vigilance to see-and-avoid other aircraft.
2.1.3 When vectors are provided to IFR flights in Class E airspace, terrain clearance will be pro-
vided by ATC. However, in VMC by day, pilots may be assigned responsibility for terrain clear-
ance by the use of the phrase “DESCEND TO (level) / CLIMB TO (level) / TURN RIGHT / TURN
LEFT (degrees) VISUAL”.
2.1.4 In Class E airspace, the following also apply:
a. Hazard Alerts will be directed to pilots of IFR flights, and to pilots of known VFR flights.
b. Unless operationally required by a pilot, ATC will only assign IFR levels.

2.2 VFR FLIGHTS IN CLASS E AIRSPACE


2.2.1 VFR flights entering Class E airspace do not require a clearance, but may receive a Sur-
veillance Information Service (SIS), where available, on request (see ATC — AIR TRAFFIC
RULES AND SERVICES — Flight Information Services (FIS)).
2.2.2 VFR flights entering and operating in Class E airspace should:
a. avoid published IFR routes, where possible;
b. monitor the appropriate Class E frequency and announce if in potential conflict; and
c. take appropriate action to avoid potential conflict.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 924

2.2.3 Pilots of VFR flights should avoid IFR holding patterns.

3 OPERATIONS IN CLASS G AIRSPACE


3.1 COMMUNICATIONS
3.1.1 The pilot in command of an IFR aircraft in Class G airspace must attempt to contact ATS
on VHF or HF when taxiing. If the pilot is unable to make contact with the air traffic service in rela-
tion to the report required by item 1 of Table 21.06 (1) of the Part 91 MOS, the flight may taxi and
take-off provided contact is established as soon as possible after take-off and the following condi-
tions are complied with:
a. where the operator of the flight is an AOC holder, aerial work certificate holder or Part 141
certificate holder — the pilot is assured of radio contact with their operator, or a representa-
tive of their operator who has immediate access to a serviceable telephone, until contact is
made with the air traffic service; or
b. except for Part 121 operations conducted using aircraft with a MOPSC greater than 19 seats
– a SARTIME for departure, that is a maximum of 30 minutes after commencing to taxi has
been established with air traffic services.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft and their responsi-
bility for collision avoidance in the vicinity of non-controlled airports using ‘see-and-avoid’ (CASR
91.325).
3.1.2 The pilot of an IFR flight departing from a non-controlled airport must report “IFR” when
making first contact with ATS.
3.1.3 A pilot operating in accordance with para 3.1.1(b) may nominate a SARTIME for departure
either as part of the arrival report or when submitting flight notification by the phrase “SARTIME
FOR DEPARTURE”. SAR alerting action will be initiated if a report is not received by the nomina-
ted SARTIME for departure.
3.1.4 To achieve the greatest degree of safety section 21.04 of the Part 91 MOS requires pilots
of aircraft carrying a serviceable radio which they are qualified to use, to make a broadcast when-
ever it is reasonably necessary to do so to avoid a collision, or the risk of a collision with another
aircraft at a non-controlled airport.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft and their responsi-
bility for collision avoidance in the vicinity of non-controlled airports using ‘see-and-avoid’.
3.1.5 In Class G airspace, pilots of radio-equipped VFR aircraft should monitor the appropriate
VHF frequency and announce if in potential conflict. Pilots intercepting broadcasts from aircraft
which are considered to be in potential conflict must acknowledge by transmitting own callsign
and, as appropriate, aircraft type, position, actual level and intentions.
3.1.6 For the above, the appropriate VHF frequency is:
a. when operating in the vicinity of an airport published on aeronautical charts – the CTAF
(MULTICOM 126.7 MHz or the discrete frequency as published); or
b. when operating within a Broadcast Area – the Broadcast Area CTAF.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 925
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

Otherwise, it is recommended pilots use the Area VHF. This frequency may provide the best
means of gaining assistance from ATC or other pilots in the event of an emergency.
3.1.7 In the vicinity of uncharted airports, pilots have discretion to use the most appropriate fre-
quency that ensures safe operation. This may be 126.7 MHz. However, pilots should be aware
that transiting aircraft will be monitoring Area VHF. To ensure mutual traffic awareness, it is rec-
ommended that pilots using an alternative frequency also monitor Area VHF.
3.1.8 A glider for which radio carriage is required must maintain a listening watch.
3.1.9 An aircraft is considered in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport if it is within 10 NM of the
airport and at a height above the airport that could result in conflict with operations at the airport.

3.1.10 Pilots of aircraft transiting in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport should avoid flying
over the airport at an altitude that could conflict with operations in the vicinity of the airport.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 926
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

3.1.11 When a report from an IFR aircraft is made to FLIGHTWATCH on HF, a broadcast on the
appropriate CTAF or Area VHF is also required.
3.1.12 If calls are not made clearly and concisely using the standard phraseology, confusion can
arise at airports in close proximity that share the same CTAF.
3.1.13 The standard broadcast format is:
a. {Location} Traffic
b. {Aircraft type}
c. {Callsign}
d. {Position/level/intentions}
e. {Location}
3.1.14 The following tables provide a summary of recommended broadcasts to be made when
operating or arriving at, or departing from, a non-controlled airport. Pilots should also observe
local and published noise abatement procedures and curfews.

RECOMMENDED CALLS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES


SITUATION BROADCAST
The pilot intends to take-off Immediately before, or during taxiing
The pilot is inbound to an airport 10 NM from the airport, or earlier, commensu-
rate with airplane performance and pilot work-
load, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for
the airport
The pilot intends to fly through the vicinity of, 10 NM from the airport, or earlier, commensu-
but not land at, a non-controlled airport rate with airplane performance and pilot work-
load, with an estimated time of arrival

NOTE: Some distances above refer to the runway threshold and others to the ARP. Pilots should
be aware that a GNSS indication of 3 NM from an airport may not be 3 NM to the runway thresh-
old.

3.2 CIRCUIT INFORMATION


3.2.1 Pilots should fly a circuit commensurate with the aircraft type they are operating. However
the use of any circuit procedure does not alter the responsibility of each pilot to see and avoid
other aircraft. Pilots operating in the circuit should maneuver to follow traffic ahead of them in the
circuit.
3.2.2 Left-hand circuits is the standard traffic circuit that must normally be made. Right-hand cir-
cuit requirements are listed on Terminal Airport charts or in the Airport Directory.
3.2.3 Aircraft should not be operated in the circuit at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kts.
3.2.4 During the initial climb-out the turn onto crosswind should be made appropriate to the per-
formance of the aircraft, but in any case not less than 500 ft so as to be at circuit height when
turning downwind.
NOTE: CASR 91.390(1)(b) - outlines exceptions in this requirement.
3.2.5 Pilots may vary the size of the circuit depending on:
a. the performance of the aircraft,
b. safety reasons; or
c. in accordance with the Aircraft Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook, or company
Standard Operating Procedures
3.2.6 Pilots are encouraged to turn on aircraft landing lights, anti-collision lights and strobe
lights, where fitted, when in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport, until the aircraft has landed.
3.2.7 Transponders can be detected by aircraft equipped with ACAS (TCAS), allowing them to
‘see’ other aircraft and take evasive action. Pilots of transponder-equipped aircraft should at all
times ensure their transponder is switched to ON/ALT (Mode C), including when operating in the
vicinity of a non-controlled airport. In the event of a radio failure it is important that pilots select
7600 on their transponder and continue squawking.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 928

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

3.2.8 So as not to impede commercial aviation, pilots flying recreational or sport aircraft for their
own enjoyment, or pilots flying GA aircraft for their own leisure, should consider giving way to air-
craft being used for ‘commerce’ provided that the inconvenience to their own operation is not
great and it can be done safely. Operators of commercial aircraft should never expect a give way
offer to be assumed or automatic. Any offer to give way must be explicit and its acceptance
acknowledged.

3.3 SEPARATION MINIMA FOR TAKE-OFF


3.3.1 An aircraft must not commence take-off until:
a. a preceding departing aircraft using the same runway has:
1. crossed the upwind end of the runway; or
2. commenced a turn; or
3. if the runway is longer than 1800m, become airborne and is at least 1800m ahead; or
4. if both aircraft have a MTOW below 2000kg, the preceding aircraft is airborne and is at
least 600m ahead;
b. a preceding landing aircraft, using the same runway, has vacated it and is taxiing away from
the runway;
c. a preceding aircraft, using another runway, has crossed or stopped short of the take-off air-
craft’s runway.
3.3.2 At airports where gliders operate to a common circuit pattern from a parallel strip outside
the runway strip, the above separation minima shall apply to aircraft landing or taking off on either
runway as if they were a single runway, but aircraft taxiing or stationary on the runway must not
affect operations on the other.
3.3.3 Where gliders and glider tugs operate to a contra-circuit, simultaneous operations are per-
mitted.

3.4 CIRCUIT HEIGHT


3.4.1 When operating at non-controlled airports, the following circuit heights are recommended:
a. High performance – includes jets and many turbo-prop aircraft, above approximately 150 kt,
1500 ft AGL;
b. Medium performance – includes most piston engine aircraft, between approximately 55 kt
and 150 kt, 1000 ft AGL;
c. Low performance – ultralights and rotary wing with a maximum speed of approximately 55 kt,
500 ft AGL (Refer to Recommended Circuit Join diagram).
3.4.2 Circuit heights for airports which have specific requirements are published in the Airport
Directory.

3.5 TAXIING
3.5.1 Pilots of IFR flights operating from non-controlled airports must report to ATC on taxiing. If
unable to establish contact, proceed in accordance with Operations in Class G Airspace, Commu-
nications.
3.5.2 Taxiing reports for IFR flights must include the following information:
a. aircraft type;
b. POB (for flights other than air transport operations);
c. IFR;
d. location;
e. destination or departure quadrant or intentions; and
f. runway to be used.
3.5.3 Following the taxi report, a pilot of an IFR flight must report to ATC if changing to a CTAF
when the ATS frequency will not, or cannot, be monitored. This report must include the airport
location and frequency.

3.6 DEPARTURE INFORMATION


3.6.1 Pilots of departing aircraft should depart by extending one of the standard circuit legs. An
aircraft should not execute a turn opposite to the circuit direction unless the aircraft is well outside
the circuit area and no traffic conflict exists. This will normally be at least 3 NM from the departure
end of the runway. The distance may be less for aircraft with high climb performance. The dis-
tance should be based on pilots being aware of traffic and the ability of the aircraft to climb above
and clear of the circuit area.
NOTE: Pilots of departing aircraft should be aware of traffic intending to join the circuit by the rec-
ommended overfly procedure, as they can be 2000 ft or higher above airport elevation.
3.6.2 A pilot-in-command of an IFR flight must establish the aircraft on the departure track as
soon as practicable after take-off and within 5 NM of the airport, except that, at airports which
have published standard instrument departure procedures, an IFR flight may depart in accord-
ance with those procedures. When established on the departure track, and clear of the circuit traf-
fic, the pilot-in-command must report departure to ATC unless instructed otherwise.
3.6.3 This report must include the following information:

Non-surveillance Surveillance
Departure time Current position
Outbound track in degrees magnetic Present level
Intended cruising level Intended cruising level
Estimate for the first enroute reporting point Estimate for the first enroute reporting point
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 930
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

3.6.3.1 The departure time must be reported as follows:


a. current time minus an adjustment for the distance from the airport; or
b. when over or abeam the airport.
3.6.4 If the pilot transmits the departure report before intercepting the departure track the report
must include advice that the pilot is maneuvering to intercept departure track.
3.6.5 When circumstances dictate that flight notification details be submitted in-flight, the above
items must be combined with the appropriate items of the flight notification, and prefixed with the
words “FLIGHT PLAN”.

3.7 DESCENT FROM CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


3.7.1 Before descending from controlled into Class G airspace and before separation with any
aircraft operating near the base of controlled airspace can be compromised, the pilot in command
of an IFR flight must report position, level, intentions and estimate for next position/destination to
the ATS unit providing services in Class G airspace. If the report is made using HF radio, a broad-
cast must be made on the appropriate area VHF frequency.

3.8 ARRIVAL INFORMATION


3.8.1 A pilot of an IFR flight must report when changing to the CTAF when the ATS frequency
will not, or cannot, be monitored. This report must include the airport location and frequency.
3.8.2 Pilots of IFR flights conducting local training, an instrument approach or a holding pattern,
may extend their SARWATCH by an “OPERATIONS NORMAL” call at scheduled times.

3.9 LANDING MANEUVERS


3.9.1 Prior to entering the circuit at non-controlled airport, aircraft should avoid the flow of traffic
until established in the circuit. The ‘standard airport traffic circuit’ facilitates the orderly flow of traf-
fic and is normally a left circuit pattern with all turns to the left, unless published in the AIP (CASR
91.385 (1)(b)). Landings should be accomplished on the operational runway most closely aligned
to the wind.
Wind and landing direction indicators can be checked while at an altitude of +500 ft above the cir-
cuit height.
NOTE: If jet, turbo prop, or high performance piston aircraft operate at the airport, 2000 ft AGL is
a safer height to remain clear of all circuit traffic.
3.9.2 An aircraft approaching a non-controlled airport for a landing should join the circuit in
accordance with Circuit Entry, Recommended Circuit Join unless it is:
a. following an instrument approach procedure in IMC; or
b. conducting a visual circling procedure after completion of an instrument approach procedure
in IMC; or
c. conducting a straight-in approach in accordance with paragraph 3.11.
3.9.3 The runway to be used for landing should be:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 931
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a. the most closely aligned into-wind runway; or


b. when operational reasons justify, any other available landing direction provided that the nom-
inated circuit is executed without conflict to landing or take-off traffic using the most into-wind
runway; and
c. serviceable, and cleared of ground maintenance equipment and personnel.
3.9.4 Aircraft approaching a non-controlled airport for landing must make all turns to the left
except:
a. where right hand circuits are specified for the airport; or
b. when entering the upwind, crosswind or downwind leg; or
c. when following an instrument approach procedure in IMC; or
d. when conducting a visual circling procedure after completion of an instrument approach pro-
cedure in IMC.

3.10 CIRCUIT ENTRY


3.10.1 Where a pilot is unfamiliar with the airport layout, or when its serviceability, wind direc-
tion, wind speed, or circuit direction cannot be ascertained prior to arrival, the overfly procedure
should be used. The pilot should overfly or circle the aircraft at least 500 ft above the circuit alti-
tude, usually 2000 ft or more above the airport elevation. When the circuit direction has been
determined, the pilot should position the aircraft to a point well clear (normally the non-active side
of the circuit) before descending to the circuit altitude that equates to the aircraft’s performance.
Pilots should not descend into the traffic circuit from directly above the airport. Refer AC 91.10.
3.10.2 For low performance ultralight aircraft and rotorcraft with a maximum speed of approxi-
mately 55 KT, it is recommended that the aircraft overfly midfield at 500 FT above airport eleva-
tion. This will minimize the risk of conflict with higher or faster traffic.
NOTE: Ultralight aircraft pilots who choose to use the overfly join procedure above the circuit alti-
tude should be aware:
a. Faster larger aircraft may not be able to see you easily.
b. Faster larger aircraft can create significant wake turbulence.
c. Faster larger aircraft will not be able to slow to the speeds of an ultralight aircraft and follow.
d. Faster larger aircraft – prior to arriving in the circuit and when below 10,000 ft – can be at
speeds up to 250 kt. Therefore, although aircraft should be at 200 kt maximum in the circuit,
an aircraft reporting at 20 NM from the airport could be in the vicinity of the circuit within
5 minutes.
3.10.3 For aircraft arriving and intending to join the circuit from overhead, the aircraft should
descend on the non-active side of the circuit and be established at its circuit altitude as it crosses
the runway centerline on crosswind, at between midfield and the departure end of the runway.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 932
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

3.10.4 When arriving on the live side, the recommended method is to arrive at the circuit altitude
entering midfield at approximately 45 degrees to the downwind leg while giving way to the aircraft
already established in the circuit.
3.10.5 On downwind the applicable circuit altitude should be maintained until commencement of
the base leg turn. The base leg position is normally when the aircraft is approximately 45 degrees
from the reciprocal of the final approach path, measured from the runway threshold. Along the
base leg continue to lookout and maintain traffic separation.
3.10.6 When on the final leg, confirm the runway is clear for landing. The turn onto final
approach should be completed by a distance and height that is common to the operations at the
particular airport and commensurate with the speed flown in the circuit for the aircraft type. In any
case, the turn onto final should be completed by not less than 500 ft above airport elevation. This
should allow sufficient time for pilots to ensure the runway is clear for landing. It will also allow for
the majority of aircraft to be stabilized for the approach and landing.

3.11 STRAIGHT-IN APPROACH


3.11.1 Straight-in approaches are not a recommended standard procedure. CASR 91.395
allows pilots to conduct straight-in approaches provided certain conditions are met. Pilots who
choose to adopt a straight-in approach should only do so when it does not disrupt or conflict with
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 933
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

the flow of circuit traffic. CASR 91.395 (2)(b) requires that the pilot conducting a straight-in
approach give way to any other aircraft established and flying in the circuit pattern at the airport.
3.11.2 CASR 91.395 (2)(a) requires pilots, before commencing a straight-in approach, to deter-
mine the wind direction and speed and the runway in use at the airport.
3.11.3 There are several ways to determine the wind direction, speed and runway in use:
a. AWS, AWIS, AAIS, CA/GRS or UNICOM,
b. Radio contact with a ground-based radio communication service, company agent, or aircraft
operating at the airport; or
c. Visual indications – if the information cannot be determined by the above means.
3.11.4 When conducting a straight-in approach, the aircraft must be established on final at not
less than 3 NM from the landing runway’s threshold CASR 91.395 (2)(c).
3.11.5 Pilots of aircraft conducting a straight-in approach at a non-controlled airport should
observe the following procedures:
a. The pilot in command should not commence a straight-in approach to a runway when the
reciprocal runway direction is being used by aircraft already established in the circuit.
b. All manoeuvring to establish the aircraft on final approach must be conducted outside a 3
NM radius from the intended landing runway threshold.
NOTE: Within 3 NM, pilots are expected to make only minor corrections to line up accurately
on final approach. This will enable pilots conforming to the airport traffic pattern to optimize
their visual scan for traffic along the final approach path.
c. The aircraft’s transponder should be squawking and its external lights, where fitted, should
be illuminated when on final approach. They should remain on until the aircraft has landed
and is clear of all runways.
d. An aircraft established on base leg or final approach for any runway has priority over an air-
craft carrying out a straight-in approach.

3.12 JOINING ON BASE


3.12.1 Joining on base leg, while not prohibited, is not a recommended standard procedure.
CASA recommends pilots join the circuit on either the crosswind or downwind leg. However, pilots
who choose to join on base leg should only do so if they:
a. have determined the wind direction and speed;
b. have determined the runway in use;
c. give way to other circuit traffic and ensure the aircraft can safely (no traffic conflict likely) join
the base leg applicable to the circuit direction in use at the standard height; and
d. broadcast their intentions.

3.13 MILITARY INITIAL AND PITCH CIRCUIT PROCEDURE


3.13.1 For Military fast jet and training aircraft the preferred method of joining the circuit is via a
procedure known as Initial and Pitch. The aircraft (or formation) will track to the Initial Point, a
point at 5 NM downwind of the runway in use displaced to the dead side, and track inbound at
high speeds (see diagram below – not to scale).
3.13.2 Traffic permitting, Initial and Pitch procedures may be conducted at military, joint user,
controlled and non-controlled airports. At controlled airports military pilots must comply with ATC
circuit entry instructions unless approved for an Initial and Pitch entry.
3.13.3 When conducting this procedure, the height for fast jets is normally 1500 ft AGL and
1000 ft AGL for other aircraft. Aircraft on tactical missions can conduct the initial and pitch at
below normal altitudes; this is referred to as a low Initial and Pitch.
3.13.4 At any stage once abeam the threshold of the runway in use, and safe to do so, the air-
craft turns ("Pitches") to join downwind and configures for landing.
3.13.5 Generally pilots conducting this manoeuvre will broadcast their position at the Initial Point
and on the base turn.

NOTE: Aircraft conducting a low pitch will be at the low pitch altitude by position 3.

3.14 SEPARATION MINIMA FOR LANDING


3.14.1 An aircraft must not continue its approach to land beyond the threshold of the runway
until:
a. a preceding departing aircraft using the same runway is airborne and:
1. has commenced a turn; or
2. is beyond the point on the runway at which the landing aircraft could be expected to
complete its landing roll and there is sufficient distance to maneuver safely in the event
of a missed approach;
b. a preceding landing aircraft using the same runway has vacated it and is taxiing away from
the runway;
c. a preceding aircraft using another runway, has crossed or stopped short of the landing air-
craft’s runway.
3.14.2 At airports where gliders operate to a common circuit pattern from a parallel strip outside
the runway strip, the above separation minima shall apply to aircraft landing or taking off on both
runways as if they were a single runway, but aircraft taxiing or stationary on one runway must not
affect operations on the other. Where gliders and glider tugs operate to a contra-circuit, simulta-
neous operations are permitted.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft (CASR 91.325).

3.15 THE TRAFFIC MIX AND OTHER HAZARDS AT NON-CONTROLLED


AIRPORTS
3.15.1 At non-controlled airports, there may be scheduled or non-scheduled air transport flight,
gliders, parachutists, helicopters, gyroplanes, ultralights, balloons, general aviation aircraft, and
agricultural aircraft operations.
3.15.2 Pilots should consult AC 91-10: ‘Operations in the vicinity of non-controlled airports’, (in
conjunction with this document) for detailed operating procedures when operating in the vicinity of
non-controlled airports.
3.15.3 In addition pilots should consult AC 91-14: ‘Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoidance in
the vicinity of non-controlled airports using see and avoid’.
3.15.4 The AC mentioned above provides guidance on a code of conduct (good airmanship)
which, when followed, will provide improved situational awareness and safety for all pilots when
flying at, or in the vicinity of, non-controlled airports.

3.16 TAXIING AFTER LANDING


3.16.1 After landing, the runway strip should be vacated as soon as practicable. Aircraft should
not stop until clear of the runway strip.

3.17 SARWATCH
3.17.1 Cancellation of SARWATCH other than SARTIME
3.17.1.1 Pilots wishing to cancel SARWATCH may do so by reporting to ATS.
3.17.1.2 When cancelling SARWATCH, pilots must include:
a. the aircraft radio call sign;
b. place of arrival or point from which SARWATCH services are no longer required;
c. the words “CANCEL SARWATCH”; and
d. when communicating with a unit other than that nominated, the name of the ATS unit to
which the report shall be relayed.
3.17.1.3 SARWATCH may be cancelled in combination with a pilot report of changing to the
CTAF, or in the circuit area, or after landing.
3.17.1.4 When the pilot of an IFR flight elects not to report in the circuit area to cancel SAR-
WATCH and has not reported within 10 minutes of ETA, ATS will commence communications
checks to obtain a landing report or an extension of SARWATCH.
3.17.1.5 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARWATCH” reports with a readback of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARWATCH TERMINATED”.
3.17.2 Cancellation of SARTIME
3.17.2.1 When operating on a SARTIME, the pilot must cancel SARTIME by the time nominated
and, during the contact with ATS, include the words “CANCEL SARTIME”.
3.17.2.2 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARTIME” reports with a readback of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARTIME CANCELLED”.
3.17.2.3 The preferred method to cancel a SARTIME is via telephone to CENSAR on 1800 814
931. When telephone facilities are not available you may use ATS frequencies.
3.17.2.4 For SARTIME flights, pilots of single VHF radio-equipped aircraft must cancel SAR-
TIME before changing to the CTAF, or after landing.
3.17.3 SARTIME for Departure
3.17.3.1 When submitting flight notification, a pilot may nominate a SARTIME for departure for
the initial departure airport only. For intermediate departure, it may be nominated by telephone
after landing, or as part of the arrival report associated with that airport. Only one SARTIME may
be current at any time.
3.17.3.2 The nomination of a SARTIME for departure does not absolve the pilot from complying
with the requirements for the carriage of serviceable radio equipment, nor from making the pre-
scribed reports.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 938
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

3.17.3.3 An IFR departure report is not sufficient to cancel a SARTIME for Departure. Pilots who
have nominated a SARTIME for Departure must use the phrase “CANCEL SARTIME” with the
departure report.

3.18 RADIO TELEPHONY REQUIREMENTS OUTSIDE CONTROLLED

3.18.1 The call sign of the station or service being called must be included at the beginning of
each exchange on VHF or HF.
NOTE: When a report from an IFR aircraft is made to FLIGHTWATCH on HF, a broadcast on the
appropriate CTAF or Area VHF is also required.
3.18.2 All transmissions between aircraft, or when broadcasting intentions, must be prefixed
with the aircraft call sign.
3.18.3 When requesting operational information on FIS frequencies, the pilot must use the serv-
ice call sign “FLIGHTWATCH” and, when on HF, include the frequency on which they are calling.
3.18.4 Use of the collective “All Stations” must precede a general information broadcast.

4 LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS (LAHSO)


4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Separation Minima for Landing, operations by an aircraft
landing on one runway and another aircraft either taking off or landing simultaneously on a cross-
ing runway may be permitted subject to the provisions of this section.

4.2 LOCATIONS WHERE LAHSO ARE USED


4.2.1 LAHSO can be implemented at airports controlled by ATC that have suitable runway con-
figurations, together with taxi markings, signs, runway markings and lights in accordance with the
standards in Airports and Ground Aids.
4.2.2 LAHSO airports are indicated on Airport charts and in the Airport Directory by the inclusion
of the words “LDA FOR LAHSO”.

4.3 A DEPENDENT PROCEDURE


4.3.1 LAHSO are to be considered dependent procedures, with participating aircraft classified
as either:
a. active – when an aircraft is issued a hold short requirement and is alerted about traffic on a
crossing runway; or
b. passive – when an aircraft has unrestricted use of the full runway length and is alerted about
traffic on a crossing runway.

4.4 PARTICIPATION
4.4.1 Active participation in LAHSO is available to pilots in each of the following categories:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 939
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a. pilots of Australian registered aircraft of performance categories A, B or C engaged in opera-


tions conducted under a training and checking organization, subject to the operator providing
information in their operational document suite and certifying participating pilots for LAHSO;
b. pilots of Australian registered aircraft of performance category A, B or C where the pilot has
been assessed as competent to conduct LAHSO by a person authorized to conduct LAHSO
training;
c. ATC will consider all Australian registered aircraft, operating on a flight number callsign, to
be approved active participants, unless advised to Air Traffic Services as not able to be an
active and/or passive participant;
d. pilots of Australian military aircraft in performance categories A, B or C, and;
e. pilots of foreign military aircraft in performance categories A, B or C subject to a Letter of
Agreement between the relevant military authority and the ATS provider.
4.4.2 Passive participation in LAHSO is available to pilots in each of the following categories:
a. pilots of Australian civil and military aircraft categories A, B and C at pilot discretion;
b. pilots of other civil aircraft, including foreign operators, as approved by CASA;
c. pilots of RAAF Hawk, FA18 and other Australian military aircraft as approved by the relevant
Operational Airworthiness Authority;
d. pilots of foreign military aircraft approved by Defence, operating at Defence airports, subject
to a Letter of Agreement; and
e. pilots of foreign military aircraft subject to a Letter of Agreement between the relevant military
authority and the civil ATS provider.
(The Letter of Agreement will exclude foreign military aircraft of performance category D operating
at civil airports).
4.4.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 4.4.1a. and 4.4.2a. above, pilots of foreign
registered civil aircraft and of Australian registered aircraft operating under foreign air carriers'
flight number callsign are precluded from participation in either active or passive mode regardless
of performance category.
4.4.4 A pilot must not accept a requirement to “HOLD SHORT” unless they are qualified, has
situational awareness, and has determined that the LDA is adequate for the prevailing conditions
and the status of the aircraft.
4.4.5 Operators of aircraft in any category may elect not to allow their pilots to participate in
LAHSO. In these cases, ATS should be advised in writing, specifying the company's withdrawal
from active, passive or both modes of participation.
NOTE: This notification should be made to Airservices Airline Relations Branch and/or HQ 44WG.

4.5 CONDITIONS FOR LAHSO


4.5.1 LAHSO may be conducted subject to the following conditions:
a. The wind for either the active or passive runway, including gusts, does not exceed:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 940
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1. 20 kt crosswind;
2. 5 kt tailwind on a dry runway;
3. no tailwind when the runway is not dry.
b. A simultaneous take-off and landing is permitted by day only.
c. Simultaneous landings are permitted by day and night.
d. The ceiling is not less than the minimum vectoring altitude (MVA) for the location where
LAHSO are being conducted and visibility is not less than 8km.
e. Visibility may be reduced to 5000m where ATC are assured of sighting the aircraft prior to a
loss of the surveillance standard.
f. Advice to the departing aircraft may be given separately from the take-off clearance.
g. Instructions are issued to prevent a landing aircraft from crossing the Hold-Short Line when
the intersecting runway is being used by another aircraft.
h. The distance from the landing threshold to the Hold-Short Line of the intersecting runway is
adequate for the performance category of the aircraft being held short.
i. The Airport chart and Airport Directory show “LDA for LAHSO” information. Pilots must
ensure that the airplane can land safely within the LDA for LAHSO.
j. If a runway is reported as WET, the braking characteristics must have been assessed as
GOOD by the pilot of an aircraft in the same performance category prior to the landing air-
craft being instructed to hold short. ATC will request pilot assessments of the braking char-
acteristics hourly where weather conditions are deteriorating or remain unchanged.
k. The landing aircraft will not be instructed to hold short when low level wind shear is repor-
ted.
l. For active participants ground based visual or electronic glide slope guidance must be avail-
able and utilized.
m. After landing, the pilot must inform ATC immediately of any difficulty in complying with the
ATC requirement to hold short of a crossing runway strip.
NOTE: to l. above: This requirement does not apply to performance category A and B non jet air-
craft of less than 5700kg MTOW landing Runway 36 at Darwin.

4.6 PILOT ADVISE OF LAHSO APPROVAL


4.6.1 ATC will not intentionally issue, and a pilot must not accept, a clearance for a hold-short
landing unless the pilot is LAHSO approved. Pilots who elect to participate actively in LAHSO
must obtain the ATIS broadcast as early as possible and if within 200 NM of a destination where
LAHSO is in progress, immediately advise ACT “LAHSO APPROVED”. e.g.,
“MELBOURNE CENTER, (callsign) DESCENDING TO FLIGHT LEVEL TWO FIVE ZERO,
LAHSO APPROVED.”
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 941
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

4.6.2 Pilots of civil aircraft operating under a flight number callsign as advised in flight notifica-
tion, and pilots of Australian military aircraft, may omit the words “LAHSO APPROVED”. Aircraft of
operators who have advised in writing an intention not to participate will not be intentionally
sequenced for LAHSO. Where an aircraft or crew that would normally participate actively or pas-
sively in LAHSO does not meet the criteria for participation, this must be communicated to ATC at
the earliest opportunity.
4.6.3 Pilots of aircraft not operating under a flight number callsign who will be entering controlled
airspace within 120 NM of destination must advise ATC “LAHSO APPROVED”.
4.6.4 When crews experience wind shear early advice to ATC is essential to ensure timely infor-
mation is passed to subsequent aircraft.

4.7 ATIS BROADCAST


4.7.1 Pilots will be alerted that LAHSO are in progress by a statement on the ATIS; For exam-
ple: “DARWIN TERMINAL INFORMATION BRAVO, RUNWAYS 29 AND 36, LAND AND HOLD
SHORT OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS, (wind, temp, etc.)”
Both the active and passive runways will be nominated on the ATIS to aid in crew situational
awareness.
NOTE: The acronym LAHSO may be used at ATC discretion.

4.8 DIRECTED TRAFFIC INFORMATION


4.8.1 ATC is required to issue directed traffic information to both aircraft participating in LAHSO.

4.9 READBACK REQUIREMENT


4.9.1 In all cases, pilots must readback an ATC issued requirement to hold short.

4.10 LANDING DISTANCE ASSESSMENT


4.10.1 ATC will normally sequence an aircraft for a runway which requires LAHSO only when
the landing distance available for the aircraft is likely to be adequate in accordance with the air-
craft landing criteria held by ATC.
4.10.2 ATC may sequence non-jet Category B aircraft below 5700kg MTOW for LAHSO using
the landing distance tables. ATC may sequence an aircraft for LAHSO regardless of category of
aircraft where the pilot in command has advised “LAHSO APPROVED”. The pilot alone is respon-
sible for ensuring that the LDA is equal to, or better than, that required for the prevailing circum-
stances.
4.10.3 Pilots should check the airport entry or ask ATC for landing distance available, and
assess their landing distance requirements based on the landing weight and ambient weather
conditions. The pilot must ensure that the LDA for LAHSO value for the runway meets or exceeds
the relevant landing distance required for their particular flight and operation.

4.11 GO AROUND DURING LAHSO


4.11.1 It is important for pilots to plan for action in the event of a go around. If a go around does
occur, pilots must maintain safe separation from other aircraft, as it may be impractical for ATC to
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 942
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

provide standard separation. Nevertheless, ATC will issue traffic information and, if appropriate –
based on the relative position of aircraft, instructions for avoiding other aircraft.
4.11.2 When issued with avoiding action instructions, pilots should fly the specified heading
without delay.
4.11.3 Regardless of any avoiding action instructions, pilots should always defer to any TCAS
RA.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 943
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

1 CLIMB AND CRUISE PROCEDURES


1.1 The pilot-in-command of an IFR flight must notify the intention to amend route, deviate from
track or change level in sufficient time for ATS to advise traffic. When a position estimate changes
by more than two (2) minutes the pilot must advise ATS.
1.2 Pilots must give ATS notice of an impending position report by use of the word “position”;
e.g., “MELBOURNE CENTER (call sign) POSITION”. Pilots must wait for the ATS instruction
before reporting position.
1.3 Pilots must report maintaining an assigned level.
1.4 After any enroute frequency change, a pilot-in-command of an IFR flight must advise
present level. If the aircraft is not at its planned cruising level, the pilot must also provide advice of
the level to which the aircraft is being climbed.
1.5 When operating in Class “G” airspace in proximity to a controlled airport, pilots should con-
sider monitoring the TWR frequency to enhance situational awareness of traffic entering and leav-
ing the CTR.
1.6 A pilot of a flight intending to operate in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport at altitudes
used by arriving and departing aircraft should:
a. monitor the appropriate VHF, and broadcast by 10 NM or earlier from the airport commensu-
rate with aircraft performance and pilot workload with an ETA (unless otherwise specified in
Airport Directory); and
b. where possible, avoid the circuit area and arrival and departure tracks.

2 AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES AND INSTRUCTIONS


2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 Pilots must obtain an ATC clearance before operating in controlled airspace. In Class E
airspace, an ATC clearance is not required for:
a. IFR flights operating in accordance with the IFR Pick-up procedure; and
b. VFR flights.
NOTE 1: Special requirements apply to Parachute Jumping Operations – refer to ATC — SPE-
CIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS — Parachuting Operations.
NOTE 2: Access to restricted areas must be approved by the controlling authority – refer to ATC
— AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION — Flight Within Prohibited, Restricted and Danger Areas.
2.1.1.1 Whenever flight rules are changed during flight (i.e. VFR to IFR or IFR to VFR), the pilot
must report to ATS at the time the change takes place.
2.1.2 A pilot must advise ATC immediately if issued a clearance with which the pilot cannot
comply. If considered necessary, a pilot should request a different clearance from that issued.
2.1.3 When clearance has been issued to deviate from the cleared route, the pilot must advise
ATC when the deviation:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 944
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

a. is no longer required; or
b. has been completed and the aircraft is established back on its cleared route.
2.1.4 If unable to obtain a clearance for a deviation and the pilot considers there is no safer
alternative course of action:
a. select code 7700;
b. broadcast an urgency message specifying details of the deviation on the appropriate ATC
and emergency frequencies; and
c. repeat the urgency message at regular intervals.
NOTE 1: When entering an active restricted area without a clearance, aircraft proceed at their
own risk.
NOTE 2: ATC will terminate control services and continue to provide flight information and alerting
services.
2.1.4.1 Pilots must obtain a clearance from ATC before exiting the restricted area and entering
controlled airspace.
2.1.5 Except for instructions related to SID and STAR operations when ATC issues a level clear-
ance to an aircraft, any level restriction issued with an earlier clearance is automatically cancelled.
ATC will issue (or re-issue) any required level restrictions with new level clearances by:
a. restating all restrictions; or
b. prefixing the subsequent instruction with “FURTHER RESTRICTION”.

2.2 ENTERING CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


2.2.1 When communication facilities permit, clearances will be passed direct to pilots by ATC.
When direct communication on the published frequency is not possible, the pilot should request a
clearance through the ATS unit providing services in the preceding non-controlled airspace.
2.2.2 If proposing to fly into a control area from an airport located so close to the entry point that
making a full position report before entry is not practicable, the pilot should request a clearance:
a. prior to entering the runway, where direct communication is available;
b. after take-off, provided that the aircraft does not enter control area until cleared; or
c. prior to landing, when intending to depart for controlled airspace shortly after landing.
2.2.3 Where the enroute LSALT is in controlled airspace, the pilot should request clearance
prior to departure and include an estimated airborne time.
2.2.4 When an ATC clearance includes a Clearance Expiry Time, the clearance is valid only if
the flight enters controlled airspace in accordance with the clearance at or before that time.
2.2.5 Excluding Class D airspace, when requesting clearance and flight details have not been
provided, pilots must wait for ATC to respond with their callsign before providing the flight details.
2.2.6 When making first contact with Approach Control, the following apply:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 945
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

a. Not Identified – report:


1. DME or GNSS distance from airport, if available;
2. VOR radial, GNSS track or compass quadrant from the airport, or if issued a STAR
clearance, the STAR designator;
3. assigned level;
4. flight conditions, if appropriate; and
5. receipt of ATIS (code);
b. Identified – report:
1. assigned level;
2. flight conditions, if appropriate; and
3. receipt of ATIS (code).

2.3 OPERATIONS IN CLASS D AIRSPACE


2.3.1 Within a Class D CTR, a clearance to take-off is a clearance to operate within or depart
the CTR into Class G airspace in accordance with the ready report.
2.3.2 Two-way communications established between a pilot and ATC constitutes a clearance for
the aircraft to enter Class D airspace. To establish two-way communications the pilot must:
a. initiate communications and advise current position, altitude, intention, ATIS received and
any request(s); and
b. establish communications with ATC as follows in order to enter Class D airspace:

2.4 RNP AR DEPARTURES


2.4.1 Pilots of aircraft that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of the flight notification form should
request an RNP AR departure at clearance delivery unless there is a standing agreement
between the Operator and the ATS provider to automatically assign RNP AR departures for eligi-
ble flights.

2.5 PRE-DEPARTURE CLEARANCE (PDC)


2.5.1 Use of PDC is limited to operations authorized by Airservices Australia. Operators wishing
to participate in PDC should submit a request to Airservices Australia. Participating operators
must not delete any component of the PDC message nor amend the order of the text.
2.5.2 When departing an airport participating in PDC, pilots must obtain the PDC, via ACARS or
hard copy message, no later than 15 minutes prior to EOBT. If the PDC is not available by 15
minutes prior to EOBT, pilots must contact the ACD frequency for a verbal airways clearance.
NOTE: ATC will not send amended route clearances via PDC.

2.5.3 Pilots must readback the following items on the ACD frequency, or on the SMC frequency
if ACD is not established, prior to a pushback or taxi request:
a. The SID, including runway and/or transition (if issued);
b. Transponder code;
c. Additional requirements specified in the PDC; and
d. Current parking position/bay.

2.6 CLEARANCES FOR OPERATIONS AT NIGHT OR IN IMC BELOW


PUBLISHED LSALT
2.6.1 Some flights are authorized to operate below the published LSALT at night or in IMC —
other than during departure or arrival. The pilot in command is solely responsible for avoiding ter-
rain in such cases. Associated clearance requests must be expressly initiated by the pilot in com-
mand and should inform ATC about the nature of the operation (e.g., NVIS, OWN TERRAIN
CLEARANCE, etc.).

3 CRUISING LEVELS
3.1 ENROUTE
3.1.1 All levels flown in Classes A, C and D airspace, and IFR levels flown in Class E airspace,
must be assigned by ATC. Levels flown by VFR aircraft or IFR flights maintaining VFR-on-top in
Class E airspace must be in accordance with the VFR Table of Cruising Levels.
3.1.2 Except when identified, position reports are required for all aircraft in classes A, C and D
airspace, and for IFR flights or flights using the IFR Pick-up procedure after initial contact with
ATC in classes E and G airspace.

3.3 SELECTION OF LEVELS


3.3.1 Flights must be planned in accordance with levels selected from the Tables of Cruising
Levels. Any part of a flight that will take place south of 80° South must be planned in accordance
with levels selected from the tables.
3.3.2 Within controlled airspace, ATC may assign and pilots may request a level that does not
accord with the Tables of Cruising Levels.
3.3.2.1 Pilots must only request a level not conforming to the table of cruising levels when it is
determined by the pilot in command to be essential to the safety of the flight and its occupants. In
such circumstances, the phrase “DUE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENT” must be included with
the level change request.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 950
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

3.3.3 ATC will only assign cruising levels not conforming to these tables when traffic or other
operational circumstances require.
3.3.4 Subject to ATC instructions, a VFR flight must be flown at a cruising level appropriate to its
magnetic track according to Tables of Cruising Levels:
a. whenever the flight is conducted at a height of 3000 ft AMSL or more; or
b. if the flight is conducted at a height of less than 3000 ft AMSL whenever practicable (CASR
91.275).
3.3.5 An IFR flight must be flown:
a. within controlled airspace at a cruising level authorized for the flight by the ATC; or
b. outside controlled airspace at a cruising level appropriate to its magnetic track according to
Tables of Cruising Levels (CASR 91.290).
3.3.6 When an IFR flight operating outside controlled airspace is unable to comply with the
Tables of Cruising Levels, the pilot must:
a. notify the appropriate ATS unit of the intended change in operating level, and any subse-
quent changes; and
b. in the event of conflict with another aircraft complying with the Tables of Cruising Levels,
give way to that aircraft or assume a cruising level in accordance with the Tables of Cruising
Levels until the aircraft with which it is in conflict is past and clear (CASR 91.295 and
91.300).
NOTE: At pilot request, ATC may assign to aircraft a level for cruise within a control area
which does not provide the prescribed separation from the lower or upper limit of the control
area.

3.4 BLOCK LEVELS


3.4.1 On request from the pilot, a flight may be cleared to operate within controlled airspace
within a Block Level provided that other aircraft are not denied the use of that airspace contained
within that block.
3.4.2 Civil IFR flights will not be allocated block levels in Class E airspace.
3.4.3 The pilot shall have complete freedom to change levels within the block, provided that the
upper and lower limits are not exceeded. However, a clearance to operate within a Block Level
shall be cancelled or amended if another aircraft requests the use of a level within the block.
3.4.4 When cancelling or amending a Block Level clearance, the aircraft operating in a Block
Level shall be instructed to climb or descend to an appropriate level or block level in order to pro-
vide vertical separation from the other aircraft requesting one of the levels.
3.4.5 Aircraft at standard flight levels will be afforded priority over aircraft using non-standard
flight levels.
3.4.6 Mach number technique separation will not be applied to aircraft using block level clearan-
ces.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 951
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

3.4.7 Aircraft operating within a block level must report the upper and lower block levels in all
positions and frequency change reports.
NOTE: As most altitude alerting systems do not provide protection for both upper and lower
assigned levels, flight crews are reminded to be vigilant in monitoring the aircraft altitude when
operating within a Block Level.

3.5 CHANGE OF LEVELS


3.5.1 ATC Approval Required
3.5.1.1 The pilot-in-command must commence a change of level as soon as possible, but not
later than one (1) minute after receiving that instruction from ATC, unless that instruction specifies
a later time or place.
3.5.1.2 ATC may require that an assigned level must be reached by a specific time, distance or
place. If a pilot-in-command doubts that the restriction can be met, ATC must be advised immedi-
ately.
3.5.1.3 ATS advised expectation of a level restriction does not authorize a pilot to climb or
descend to meet that restriction.
3.5.1.4 An expectation of a level restriction is not required to be read back.
3.5.1.5 A requirement to report at a time or place given in the same clearance as a descent/
climb instruction does not require the new level to be reached by the specified time or place.
3.5.1.6 The pilot-in-command of an aircraft, receiving an instruction from ATC to change level,
must report:
a. when the aircraft has left a level at which level flight has been conducted in the course of
climb, cruise or descent; and
b. when the aircraft leaves a level for which ATC has requested a report.
3.5.1.7 During a change of level, the pilot in command must advise ATC if they maintain an
unassigned interim level.
3.5.1.8 ATC may provide vertical separation between two climbing aircraft, not otherwise sepa-
rated, by means of a step climb. Pilots-in-command subject to a step climb, must adopt the follow-
ing procedure:
a. the pilot-in-command of the lower aircraft shall report approaching each assigned level in the
sequence;
b. the pilot-in-command of the higher aircraft, on hearing the lower aircraft report approaching
each assigned level, shall report the last vacated level.
3.5.1.9 Step descents reverse the above procedure.
3.5.1.10 ATC may specify a rate of climb or descent:
a. The phrase “STANDARD RATE”, when included in a clearance, specifies a rate of climb or
descent of not less than 500 ft per minute, except that the last 1000 ft to an assigned level
shall be made at 500 ft per minute;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 952
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

b. In the case of a step climb or descent, the specified rate will be applicable to all level clear-
ances issued in the course of the step climb or descent. If unable to comply with the prescri-
bed rate, the pilot-in-command must advise ATC.
3.5.1.11 Cruise Climb is not used in Australian administered airspace. Where possible, block
level clearances will be issued upon request.
3.5.2 ATC Approval Not Required
3.5.2.1 In airspace where ATC approval is not required to change level, the pilot of an IFR flight
must report present position and intention to ATC approximately one (1) minute prior to making
any change.

3.6 CALCULATION OF LOWEST SAFE ALTITUDE (LSALT)


3.6.1 A pilot using Grid LSALT or Grid MORA for obstacle clearance is responsible for determin-
ing the allowance for navigation error that should be applied, considering the limitations of the
navigation aids or method of navigation being used for position fixing. This navigation error allow-
ance must be applied to the proposed track. The highest Grid MORA falling within the area cov-
ered by the determined navigation error must be used.
3.6.2 For routes and route segments not charted, the lowest safe altitude must not be less than
that calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.6.3 within an area defined in the following para-
graphs 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.6.8 and 3.6.9.
3.6.3 Unreported obstacles up to 360 ft may exist in navigation tolerance areas. The LSALT
must be calculated using the following method:
a. where the highest obstacle is more than 360 ft above the height determined for terrain, the
LSALT must be 1000 ft above the highest obstacle; or
b. where the highest charted obstacle is less than 360 ft above the terrain, or there is no char-
ted obstacle, the LSALT must be 1360 ft above the elevation determined for terrain; except
that
c. where the elevation of the highest terrain or obstacle in the tolerance area is not above 500
ft, the LSALT must not be less than 1500 ft.
3.6.4 An aircraft must not be flown under the IFR, lower than the published lowest safe altitude
or the lowest safe altitude calculated in accordance with this section, unless permitted by CASR
91.265, 91.267 and 91.305 or another civil aviation legislation provision.
3.6.5 If the navigation of the aircraft is inaccurate, or the aircraft is deliberately flown off track, or
where there is a failure of any radio navigation aid normally available, the area to be considered is
a circle centered on the DR position, with a radius of 5 NM plus 20% of the air distance flown from
the last positive fix.
3.6.6 For Routes Defined by Radio Navigation Aids or to be Navigated by DR: The area to
be considered must be within an area of 5 NM surrounding and including an area defined by lines
drawn from the departure point or enroute radio aid, 10.3° each side of the nominal track (where
track guidance is provided by a radio navigation aid), or 15° each side of the nominal track (where
no track guidance is provided) to a limit of 50 NM each side of track, thence paralleling track to
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 953
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

abeam the destination and then converging by a semi-circle of 50 NM radius centered on the des-
tination. On shorter routes, where these lines are displaced by less than 50 NM abeam the desti-
nation, they shall converge by a radius based on that lesser distance. Where the lines thus drawn
come at any time within the coverage of an enroute or destination radio aid the aircraft is equip-
ped to use, they will converge by straight lines to that aid. The minimum angle of convergence
which shall be used in this case is 10.3° each side of track.
3.6.7 For Routes Operated Under the RNP 2 Navigation Specification: The area to be con-
sidered must be within an area of 5 NM surrounding and including the departure point, the desti-
nation and each side of the nominal track.
3.6.8 For Other Area Navigation Operations: The area to be considered must be within an
area of 5 NM surrounding and including an area defined by lines drawn from the departure point
not less than 15° each side of the nominal track to a maximum of:
a. 8 NM for flights under the RNP 4 navigation specification;
b. 7 NM for flights under an RNAV navigation specification having a GNSS input; or
c. 30 NM for flights under a non-GNSS area navigation specification.
Thence paralleling track to abeam the destination and converging by a semicircle of the same
radius centered on the destination.
3.6.9 VFR Flights at Night: The area to be considered must be:
a. the area specified in paragraph 3.6.6, 3.6.7 or 3.6.8 for aircraft navigated by means of a
radio navigation system; or
b. within a radius of 10 NM from any point along the aircraft’s nominal track.
However, the pilot of an aircraft who has positively determined by visual fix that a critical obstacle
has been passed may nevertheless descend immediately to a lower altitude, provided that the
required obstacle clearance above significant obstructions ahead of the aircraft is maintained.
3.6.10 An aircraft must not be flown at night under the VFR, lower than the published lowest
safe altitude or the lowest safe altitude calculated in accordance with this section unless permitted
by CASR 91.265, 91.267 and 91.305 or another civil aviation legislation provision.

4 AIR ROUTE SPECIFICATIONS


4.1 When proposing to operate under the IFR on any route segments, or proposing flight in con-
trolled airspace, the pilot in command must plan and conduct a flight in accordance with the:
a. route specifications published in Aeronautical Charts including the relevant en route chart;
and
b. applicable flight planning requirements; and
c. published accessibility of airspace such as restricted areas;
unless otherwise authorized by ATC.
4.2 The pilot-in-command is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of Section 3 can be
met.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 954
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

4.3 Where no route specification has been published on the relevant Enroute/Area chart, a route
determined by the pilot-in-command, and, if in controlled airspace, approved by ATC, will be plan-
ned.
4.4 Prior ATC approval is required for RNAV tracking on routes other than those published or in
the Airservices “Off Air Route Planning (OARP) Manual” (not published herein). Information and
rules regarding OARP are available at:
http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/industry-info/flight-briefing/off-air-route-flight-planning-options/
4.5 The position reporting points for a route should be separated by a distance approximately 30
minutes or 200 NM apart, whichever is least, and when practicable, should be selected from
those on Enroute/Area charts. Otherwise, the position reporting points should be places named
on VTC or WAC, and identifiable by radio or visual means. To minimize confusion when a position
is reported over a town which has a nearby airport of the same name, the word “TOWNSHIP” is to
be used after the name in the text of the report.
4.6 For an area-type flight as distinct from route flying, the pilot of an IFR flight or VFR flight in
those circumstances identified in Flight Planning (Series 600) may nominate scheduled reporting
times. These should be at half-hourly intervals. The pilot must specify the area’s boundaries by
means of a map provided with the flight notification details.
4.7 A pilot-in-command must make sure, by reference to the forecast, that the route selected for
a VFR flight will enable the aircraft to be flown with visual reference to the ground or water for
significant portions of the route, and in the vicinity of the destination aerodrome.

5 SEPARATION STANDARDS
5.1 REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
5.1.1 Application of RVSM
5.1.1.1 Australia applies a 1000 ft reduced vertical separation minimum between approved air-
craft operating between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.
5.1.1.2 RVSM does not apply to formation flights and civil formation flights will not be issued
clearance to operate between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.
5.1.2 RVSM Operations
5.1.2.1 Aircraft transiting from adjacent FIRs into Australian FIRs between FL290 and FL410
inclusive must plan from the way-point on the FIR boundary using the Table of Cruising Levels at
paragraph 3.2.1.
5.1.2.2 Aircraft transiting from Australian FIRs between FL290 and FL410 inclusive to adjacent
FIRs must plan until the waypoint on the FIR boundary using the Table of Cruising Levels at para-
graph 3.2.1.
5.1.2.3 Aircraft that will cross latitude 80° South between FL290 and FL410 inclusive must plan
using the Table of Cruising Levels for operations north of 80° South, and the Table of Cruising
Levels for operations south of 80° South.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 955
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

5.1.2.4 To have RVSM applied to their aircraft, operators must be approved by the State of Reg-
istry or State of the Operator.
5.1.2.5 Approved operators must ensure that height-keeping monitoring is undertaken at least
every two years or within intervals of 1,000 flight hours per aircraft, whichever period is longer, in
accordance with the aircraft categories as presented in the current version of the ICAO RVSM
Minimum Monitoring Requirements table. The table and further information on monitoring can be
obtained from the Australian Airspace Monitoring Agency (AAMA) at http://www.airservicesaustra-
lia.com/organisations/aama/.
5.1.2.6 Pilots of aircraft that are not RVSM-approved may plan within the RVSM flight level band
(FL290 to FL410 inclusive). However, clearance at RVSM levels is subject to disposition of traffic
and RVSM aircraft priority. The conventional vertical separation minimum will be applied between
aircraft that are not RVSM-approved and all other aircraft.
5.1.2.7 Pilots of non RVSM-approved State aircraft will be afforded equal priority with RVSM-
approved aircraft. Pilots planning to operate non-RVSM within the RVSM level band must flight
plan in accordance with the section on FLIGHT PLANNING.
5.1.2.8 Pilots of aircraft that are not RVSM-approved must report “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.3 Operational Procedures Before Entering the RVSM Flight Level Band —
RVSM Approved Aircraft
5.1.3.1 On each flight before entering the RVSM flight level band, pilots of RVSM-approved air-
craft must check to ensure that all of the following minimum mandatory equipment is operating
normally:
a. two independent primary altimetry systems,
b. a Mode C-capable SSR transponder,
c. an altitude alert system, and
d. an autopilot with height lock.
5.1.3.2 If any item of the minimum mandatory equipment listed in the previous paragraph is not
operating normally, a pilot must notify ATC before entering the RVSM flight level band using the
phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.4 Operational Procedures After Entering the RVSM Flight Level Band —
RVSM Approved Aircraft
5.1.4.1 During changes of level, an aircraft must not overshoot or undershoot its Cleared Flight
Level (CFL) by more than 150 ft (45m).
5.1.4.2 Failure of One Primary Altimetry System. If one of the primary altimetry systems fails,
but the remaining altimetry system is functioning normally, the pilot must:
a. couple that system to the autopilot with height lock;
b. maintain increased vigilance of altitude-keeping; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 956
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

c. notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology, “FOR INFORMATION, OPERATING ON
ONE PRIMARY ALTIMETER ONLY”.
5.1.4.3 Failure of All Primary Altimetry Systems. If all primary altimetry systems fail, or are
considered unreliable, the pilot must:
a. maintain the flight level indicated on the standby altimeter (if the aircraft is so equipped) at
the time of failure or when considered unreliable;
b. alert nearby aircraft by turning on all exterior lights and, if not in VHF contact with ATC, by
broadcasting advice of the failure, position, flight level, and intentions on 121.5 MHz;
c. notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM” and the intended course
of action.
5.1.4.4 In Oceanic Class A Airspace Area. If unable to obtain ATC clearance in a timely
manner following a failure of all primary altimetry systems in oceanic Class A airspace the pilot
must proceed as follows:
a. If operationally feasible to do so, leave the assigned route or track by turning at least 45°
right or left, whenever this is possible, taking account of adjacent routes and descend below
FL290.
b. If not operationally feasible to execute this contingency procedure, continue to alert nearby
aircraft and coordinate with ATC.
5.1.4.5 Divergence in Primary Altimetry Systems’ Indication. If the primary altimeters
diverge by more than 200 ft, the pilot must proceed as follows:
a. Attempt to determine the defective system through established “trouble-shooting” procedures
and/or comparing the primary altimeter displays to the standby altimeter (as corrected by
correction card, if required).
b. If the defective system can be determined, couple the functioning altimetry system to the
autopilot with height lock and proceed as in paragraph 5.1.4.2.
c. If the defective system cannot be determined, proceed as in paragraph 5.1.4.3.
5.1.4.6 Failure of the Mode C-capable SSR Transponder. If the mode C-capable transponder
fails, the pilot must notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.4.7 Failure of the Altitude Alert System. If the altitude alert system fails, the pilot must
notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.4.8 Failure of the Autopilot with Height Lock. If the autopilot with height lock fails, the
pilot must initiate the following actions sequentially;
a. Maintain CFL.
b. Evaluate the aircraft’s capability to maintain altitude through manual control.
c. Assess the situation regarding possible conflicting traffic.
d. Alert nearby aircraft by turning on all exterior lights and, if not in VHF contact with ATC,
broadcast advice of failure, position, flight level, and intentions on 121.5 MHz.

e. Notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM” and the intended course
of action.
5.1.4.9 In Oceanic Class A Airspace. Possible courses of action for the pilot following a failure
of the autopilot with height lock in oceanic Class A airspace include the following:
a. Provided that the aircraft can maintain CFL, continue at that level.
b. If the aircraft cannot maintain CFL and is unable to obtain a revised ATC clearance, leave
the assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left, whenever this is possible,
taking account of adjacent routes.
5.1.5 ATC Responsibilities
5.1.5.1 ATC will apply alternative separation to any aircraft that has reported “NEGATIVE
RVSM” in accordance with requirements specified in this Section.
5.1.6 Weather and Wake Turbulence, and System Alerts
5.1.6.1 The pilot of an aircraft operating within the RVSM flight level band that encounters
weather turbulence that affects aircraft capability to maintain CFL, or wake turbulence, or experi-
ences distracting aircraft system alerts, must notify ATC and request a revised clearance before
deviating from track or CFL.
5.1.6.2 Oceanic Control Area Only. If a revised clearance is not possible or practicable, the
pilot of an aircraft operating in an oceanic control area may initiate the following temporary lateral
offset procedure with the intention of returning to the cleared route as soon as possible:
a. If possible, establish contact with other aircraft on the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency
123.45 MHz.
b. Initiate a lateral offset (one or both aircraft may initiate) not to exceed 2 NM from the cleared
route or track, provided that:
1. as soon as practicable, the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC that temporary
lateral offset action has been taken and the reason for doing so; and
2. the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC when the aircraft is re-established on the
assigned route(s) or track(s).
5.1.7 Flight Level Deviation Reporting
5.1.7.1 For operations in the Australian FIR, flight crews must report all flight level deviations of
300 ft or more from the aircraft’s assigned level, irrespective of the cause of the deviation.

5.2 WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION STANDARDS


5.2.1 Categories
5.2.1.1 For the purpose of wake turbulence separation, aircraft are divided into the following
weight categories:
a. SUPER (H) – A380 and AN225 aircraft;
b. HEAVY (H) – All aircraft types of 136,000kg maximum takeoff weight or more;
c. MEDIUM (M) – Aircraft types of less than 136,000kg maximum take-off weight but more than
7000kg maximum take-off weight;
d. LIGHT (L) – Aircraft types of 7000kg maximum take-off weight or less.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 959
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

NOTE: B757, H47 (Chinook) and H53 (Stallion) are categorized Heavy (H) when the following air-
craft is categorized either Medium (M) or Light (L) and categorized Medium (M) when the preced-
ing aircraft is categorized Heavy (H).
5.2.2 Application of Standards
5.2.2.1 In controlled airspace, unless the pilot has accepted responsibility for separation, ATC
will apply wake turbulence separation to:
a. aircraft in the approach and departure phases of flight when both aircraft are using parallel
runways separated by less than 760m; or
b. when an aircraft is operating directly behind another aircraft at the same level or less than
1000 ft below.
NOTE: Directly behind means an aircraft is operating within 760m laterally of the track of the lead-
ing aircraft.
5.2.2.2 ATC applies the following time based wake turbulence separation minima between the
relevant categories of aircraft:

Aircraft Categories Time Separation Minima


NOTE 1: *Intermediate standards will be applied when the following aircraft will depart from the
same runway, or a parallel runway separated by less than 760m from a point more than 150m
after the take-off commencement point of the preceding aircraft.
NOTE 2: Distance standards cannot be used in lieu of time for intermediate departures.

5.2.2.3 ATC applies the following distance wake turbulence separation minima between the rel-
evant categories of aircraft:

5.2.2.4 Where the required separation can be determined by distance using an aircraft report or
ATS Surveillance System, ATC need not apply the time standard to an affected:
a. arriving aircraft;
b. departing aircraft unless it is departing from an intermediate point as described in Time Sep-
aration Minima.
5.2.2.5 ATC is not required to apply wake turbulence separation in the following situations:
a. when a MEDIUM fixed-wing aircraft of less than 25,000kg MTOW precedes a LIGHT aircraft;
b. when an aircraft is landing behind another aircraft that is taking-off on the same runway;
c. subject to pilot waivers, if a pilot has initiated a waiver of the relevant departure wake turbu-
lence separation minimum;
d. when a VFR aircraft is in flight and is:
1. operating directly behind a preceding HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft; or
2. landing on the same runway as a preceding HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 961
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

3. landing on a parallel runway separated by less than 760m from the runway of a preced-
ing HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft;
e. when an IFR aircraft is in flight and the pilot has:
1. reported the preceding aircraft in sight; and
2. accepted responsibility to follow or maintain their own separation with that aircraft.
NOTE: For paragraphs (d) and (e), the pilot in command of the aircraft is responsible for ensuring
that the spacing from a preceding aircraft of a heavier wake turbulence category is acceptable. If
it is determined that additional spacing is required, the flight crew may inform ATC accordingly,
stating their requirements.
5.2.2.6 No specific separation is applied on account of wake turbulence between an aircraft
landing behind an aircraft taking-off on the same runway.
5.2.2.7 Appropriate wake turbulence separation standards will be applied when an aircraft
taking-off behind a landing heavier weight category aircraft is expected to become airborne before
the touchdown point of the landing aircraft.
NOTE: Super, Heavy or Medium Wake Turbulence category aircraft may be operating at the base
and near the boundaries of controlled airspace. Aircraft operating in Class G airspace in the vicin-
ity of controlled airspace may be affected by wake turbulence from aircraft operating within con-
trolled airspace.
5.2.2.8 For aircraft in the Super or Heavy wake turbulence categories, the word “SUPER” or
“HEAVY” respectively must be included immediately after the aircraft call sign in the initial radio-
telephony contact between such aircraft and each approach, departure, director, ground and
tower controller.
5.2.3 Pilot Waivers
5.2.3.1 Pilots may, in VMC by day only, advise ATC that they wish the application of the depar-
ture standards to be waived. When a pilot so advises, this indicates to ATC that the pilot accepts
total responsibility for providing their own wake turbulence separation.
Waiving of these separation standards is not permitted when the aircraft concerned will follow a
Heavy or Super aircraft.
5.2.3.2 ATC is not permitted to ask pilots to accept waivers.
5.2.3.3 Since wake vortices are not visible, waivers against relevant separation standards
should only be initiated after careful consideration of prevailing atmospheric conditions and the
intended (or permissible) flight path relative to the leading aircraft. This is particularly important
when the following aircraft is a Light aircraft.

6 DIVERSIONS TO AN ALTERNATE AIRPORT


6.1 The pilot-in-command is responsible for taking appropriate diversion action based on infor-
mation received. The pilot must provide the latest diversion time from the destination or from a
point enroute and, if required, the time interval.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 962

CLIMB AND CRUISE

7 FLIGHTS OVER WATER


7.1 There are specific over water flight notification requirements (refer to CASR 91.240 and the
Part 91 MOS Chapter 9).
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of the requirement to not operate an aircraft in a manner which cre-
ates a hazard to a person or property (CASR 91.055).
7.2 Requirements related to flight over water can be found in the CASR Part relevant to the
operation being conducted.
7.3 Helicopters must be fitted with an approved emergency flotation system on a Part 133 AOC
operation in accordance with Chapter 11 of the Part 133 MOS.

8 POSITION REPORTS
8.1 Except when identified, position reporting is mandatory when operating under IFR and must
normally be made at the positions or times notified on the flight notification. (For flights not operat-
ing along an ATS route, reporting points should be provided in Item 15 for locations approximately
30 minutes or 200 NM apart.)
8.2 The position report format is identified on METEOROLOGY — Meteorology Reports and
Advisories — APPENDIX 1 — Position Reports, AIREP Special and Volcanic Ash Reports.
8.3 When an aircraft is holding due to weather, ATS will nominate scheduled reporting times
which will normally be at 15 minute intervals.
8.4 IFR aircraft operating area-type flights and nominating schedules reporting times may limit
the report to level and the present position or the sector of the survey area in which the aircraft is
currently operating.
8.5 The position report format appears on METEOROLOGY — Meteorology Reports and Advi-
sories — APPENDIX 1 — Position Reports, AIREP Special and Volcanic Ash Reports. Section 2
of the report should only be transmitted when required by the operator or when deemed neces-
sary by the pilot. Section 3 of the report is required for the situations described in APPENDIX 1.
8.6 Aircraft operating area-type flights and nominating scheduled reporting times may limit the
report to “level” and the “present position” or the sector of the survey area in which the aircraft is
currently operating.
8.7 Pilots must give ATS notice of an impending position report by use of the word “POSITION”;
e.g., “MELBOURNE CENTER (call sign) POSITION”. Pilots must wait for the ATS instruction
before reporting position.
8.8 Pilots must report maintaining an assigned level, unless ATC has advised IDENTIFIED. An
IFR flight operating VFR-on-top or requesting IFR Pick-up must advise level maintaining.
8.9 After any frequency change, pilots must advise the last assigned level and, if not maintaining
the assigned level, the level maintaining or last vacated level.
NOTE: The “last vacated level” may be omitted by identified aircraft squawking pressure altitude
derived level information.

1 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
1.1 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
1.1.1 The underpinning rule for all radio communication equipment requirements is that an air-
craft, in controlled or uncontrolled airspace, must have radio communication systems capable of:
a. collectively communicating on all frequencies necessary to meet the reporting, broadcast
and listening watch requirements under the civil aviation legislation, from any point on the
route of the flight, including in the event of any diversions; and
b. 2-way voice communications; and
c. communicating on the aeronautical emergency frequency 121.5 MHz.
1.1.2 Specific radio equipment carriage requirements (other rules discuss radio usage) are con-
tained in the following rules:
a. for sport and recreational aircraft operations — the applicable CAO.
b. for Part 121, 133 or 135 operations — section 11.08 of the respective CASR Part MOS.
c. for Part 131 operations — the requirements of CAO 95.53 and 95.54 apply.
d. for all other operations — sections 26.18 and 26.19 of the Part 91 MOS.

1.2 SUMMARY OF REPORT AND BROADCAST REQUIREMENTS


1.2.1 General
1.2.1.1 In this section:
a. “Report” means a mandatory radio report from an aircraft to the appropriate ATS unit.
b. “Broadcast” means a radio broadcast from an aircraft on the appropriate frequency to pro-
vide advisory traffic information to other aircraft.
1.2.1.2 Except in special circumstances (e.g., descent from CTA, formation flights, SAR, police /
security), pilots of aircraft are required to comply with the radio communication requirements
appropriate for the “Classes of Airspace — Services and Requirements” table included in ATC —
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION Section 6.
1.2.1.3 In special circumstances, a pilot may request to change frequency to meet operational
report, broadcast, or communication requirements. ATC will facilitate a pilot request for approval
to leave a control frequency to make such reports or broadcasts. When impracticable to approve
the frequency change at the time requested due to control requirements, ATC will accommodate
the request as soon as possible. In determining when to make reports and broadcasts, pilots
should consider the possibility of delays in being released from the ATC frequency. Requests for
frequency change should specify the expected duration when the change required is not perma-
nent.
1.2.1.4 After any ATS directed frequency change, pilots must advise the last assigned level and,
if not maintaining the assigned level, the level maintaining or last vacated level; e.g. “MEL-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 965
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

BOURNE CENTER (CALL SIGN) CLEARED FLIGHT LEVEL TWO ONE ZERO, LEAVING
FLIGHT LEVEL TWO NINER ZERO”.
NOTE: The “last vacated level” may be omitted by identified aircraft squawking pressure altitude
derived level information.
1.2.1.5 All aircraft departing, arriving or transiting an AFIS broadcast area during AFIS HRS
must make broadcasts prior to or as soon as possible after entering the broadcast area.
1.2.1.6 Pilots of aircraft engaged in parachute operations must broadcast their intentions on the
appropriate area VHF, and/or CTAF two (2) minutes prior to parachutists exiting the aircraft. In
addition, when operations are conducted in, or parachutists will enter, a Restricted Area or
Classes A, C or D airspace, a clearance to drop is required. Notification of clearance request
must be made at least five (5) minutes before the proposed exit.
1.2.1.7 Unless otherwise authorized, gliding operations in controlled airspace (including Class
E) must be conducted using the appropriate ATC frequency.
1.2.1.8 Pilots of IFR flights operating outside controlled airspace who desire to establish com-
munication with a non-ATS station and who will not be able to maintain a listening watch on the
ATS frequency must advise ATS of their further SAR requirements prior to making the frequency
change.

1.2.3 Inoperative Radio and No-Radio Procedures


1.2.3.1 CASR Parts 91, 103 and 131 permit some flights to be conducted without a radio. For
operations under Part 131 the requirements of CAO 95.53 and 95.54 apply.
1.2.3.2 A non-radio aircraft may fly in Class G airspace in VMC by day at or below 5000 ft
AMSL.
1.2.3.3 If total or partial failure of the required radio communications equipment occurs before
flight commences and repair facilities are available, repairs must be made before the flight pro-
ceeds.
1.2.3.3.1 Where repair facilities are not available, flight to the nearest appropriate repair facility
may proceed in Class G airspace in VMC only. If flight to the nearest appropriate repair facility
entails flight in controlled airspace, the flight may proceed provided that ATS is advised of the
radio failure and a clearance for the flight is obtained from ATC.
1.2.3.3.2 When arriving at a non-controlled airport where the carriage of radio is required, if a
radio failure occurs either enroute to or in the circuit of the airport, the pilot may continue to land
at that airport provided:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 969
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

a. where equipped — the aircraft displays its external lights, and its transponder is turned on;
and
b. if enroute — the pilot uses the overfly joining procedure (Refer to the graphic Recommended
Circuit Join in ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES).
1.2.3.3.3 A pilot may depart the airport with an unserviceable radio and fly to another airport for
repairs, provided that the aircraft – where equipped – displays its external lights and its trans-
ponder turned on.
1.2.3.3.4 To maximize the safety of commercial passenger transport operations, during a flight
to or from an airport for radio repairs, it is requested that pilots plan to avoid arriving or departing
from an airport during the known hours of scheduled air transport operations. For airports where
there is a UNICOM or CA/GRS, pilots should by alternative means where possible make contact
and advise their intentions before conducting operations.
1.2.3.3.5 An aircraft not equipped with an operative radio may operate at, or in the vicinity of, a
non-controlled certified or military airport provided that:
a. The aircraft is operated in VMC by day; and
b. The aircraft arrives or departs in the company of another radio-equipped aircraft that is flown
by a radio-qualified pilot which will allow the latter to make radio calls on behalf of both air-
craft.
NOTE: The radio-equipped aircraft should be maneuvered to keep the no-radio aircraft at a safe
distance and in sight at all times in order to accurately report its position.
1.2.3.4 Procedures to be adopted when total loss of radio occurs while in-flight and within Aus-
tralian Domestic airspace are contained in the Emergency section.
1.2.3.5 Procedures to be adopted when total loss of radio occurs while in-flight and within Aus-
tralian administered Oceanic airspace are as follows:
1.2.3.6 In the event of total loss of communication, an aircraft shall:
a. try to re-establish communication by all other means;
b. if all attempts to re-establish communication with ATC are unsuccessful:
1. Squawk 7600;
2. If able, broadcast in the blind at suitable intervals: aircraft identification, flight level, air-
craft position (including the ATS route designator or the track code), and intentions on
the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF
inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
3. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to airborne collision avoid-
ance systems or traffic displays (if equipped);
4. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 970

COMMUNICATIONS

5. Maintain the last assigned speed and level for a period of 60 minutes following the air-
craft’s failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point (including ADS-C
flights), and thereafter adjust speed and altitude in accordance with the filed flight plan;
NOTE: In OCA, aircraft experiencing communication failure may also initiate Strategic
Lateral Offset Procedures (SLOP) in accordance with ATC — GENERAL FLIGHT PRO-
CEDURES, including an offset of up to 2 NM right of track.
6. Upon exiting OCA, conform to the relevant State procedures and regulations.
1.2.3.7 In the event of lost communication, ATC shall maintain separation between the aircraft
having the communication failure and other aircraft, based on the assumption that the aircraft
having the communication failure will operate in accordance with the procedures in the previous
paragraph.

2 COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
2.1 RADIO FREQUENCIES
2.1.1 General
2.1.1.1 Air-ground communications in Australian FIRs are conducted by radio telephony in the
VHF, UHF and HF bands. Air-to-air communications are conducted in the VHF band. The require-
ments for carriage of radio communication systems are contained in paragraph 1.1. Frequencies
are published on applicable Enroute/Area and Terminal charts. VHF frequencies are published/
depicted on Jeppesen Terminal charts.
2.1.1.2 VHF is the primary frequency band, with HF only being used when outside VHF cover-
age. Area VHF frequencies and their estimated coverage are shown on Enroute/Area charts.
2.1.1.3 UHF is intended primarily for use with military aircraft. At some locations, re-transmit
facilities, which permit UHF and VHF aircraft to copy VHF/UHF transmissions conducted with a
common ATS unit, are installed.
2.1.2 HF — Domestic Operations
2.1.2.1 The National Aeronautical HF network appropriate to the area of operations is shown on
applicable Enroute/Area charts. In Trans-Continental and Oceanic Control Areas (TCTA/OCTA),
the ground organization may nominate the appropriate International Network to be used by air-
craft. For those operations outside VHF coverage, where the maintenance of a continuous two-
way communications watch with an airways operations unit is mandatory, the carriage of suitable
HF frequencies is required.
2.1.3 HF — International Operations
2.1.3.1 HF networks to be used in order of preference are:
a. the appropriate International Network (SEA-3, SP-6, INO-1); or
b. the national network for Domestic Operations.

2.1.4 Interpilot Air-to-Air Communication


2.1.4.1 In accordance with regional agreements, 123.45 MHz is designated as the air-to-air VHF
communications channel. Use of this channel will enable aircraft engaged in flights over remote
and oceanic areas out of range of VHF ground stations and not in the vicinity of a non-controlled
airport depicted on an aeronautical chart to exchange necessary operational information and to
facilitate the resolution of operational problems.
2.1.5 SELCAL
2.1.5.1 SELCAL is available to appropriately equipped aircraft. Frequencies for this service are
published on Enroute/Area charts.

2.2 CERTIFIED AIR/GROUND RADIO SERVICE (CA/GRS)


2.2.1 A Certified Air/Ground Radio Service is an aerodrome-based radio information service,
which may operate at non-controlled aerodromes. The service is a safety enhancement facility
which provides pilots with operational information relevant to the particular aerodrome. The serv-
ice is operated by or for the aerodrome operator to published hours, on the CTAF assigned to the
particular aerodrome. It is not an Airservices or RAAF-provided air traffic service.
2.2.2 The CA/GRS does not provide any separation service.
2.2.3 The call sign of the service is the aerodrome location followed by “Radio”; e.g., “Ayers
Rock Radio”. The radio operators of the service have been certified to meet a CASA standard of
communication technique and aviation knowledge appropriate to the service being provided.
2.2.4 The CA/GRS is provided to all aircraft operating within the designated broadcast area for
the specific location. Refer to Airport Directory for the location specific designated broadcast
areas.
2.2.5 When a CA/GRS is operating, pilot procedures are unchanged from the standard non-con-
trolled aerodrome operating and communications procedures. Airport Directory includes location
specific information relating to procedures.
2.2.6 The operational information provided by a CA/GRS assists pilots in making informed
operational decisions. Pilots retain authority and responsibility for the acceptance and use of the
information provided.
2.2.7 Aircraft making the normal inbound or taxiing broadcast receive a responding broadcast
from the CA/GRS operator, conveying the following information:
a. Confirmation of the correct CTAF.
b. Current, known, relevant traffic in the vicinity of the aerodrome and on the maneuvering area
of the aerodrome. Traffic information may include some or all of the following:
1. the aircraft type, call sign, position and intention; or
2. where circuit flying is in operation, general advice on the number of aircraft in the circuit,
and position in the circuit, if relevant.
NOTE: This information is provided as an advisory to pilots in VMC and to assist pilots in
arranging self-separation in IMC.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 972

COMMUNICATIONS

c. Weather conditions and operational information for the aerodrome. The information which
may be advised includes:
1. runway favored by wind or for noise abatement,
2. runway surface conditions,
3. wind direction and speed,
4. visibility and present weather,
5. estimated cloud base,
6. aerodrome surface temperature, and
7. aerodrome QNH.
This information will be provided by means of an Automatic Aerodrome Information Service
(AAIS) broadcast on a discrete frequency (similar to ATIS) during OPR HR of CA/GRS or on
request to the CA/GRS operator. Pilots should monitor the published AAIS frequency before
making the taxiing or inbound broadcast, and indicate that the AAIS information has been
received when making the inbound or taxiing broadcast.
d. Other operational information of a local nature, relevant to the safety of operations at the aer-
odrome.
2.2.8 The CA/GRS will provide emergency services call-out if requested by the pilot in an emer-
gency or, if in the opinion of the operator, a call-out is warranted.
2.2.9 The weather information provided by the service is derived from approved measuring
equipment, which meets BoM aeronautical precision standards. QNH provided by a CA/GRS or
AAIS may be used to reduce landing, circling and alternate minima in accordance with the QNH
Sources paragraph in the Terminal section.
2.2.10 The CA/GRS operator may act as a representative of an air operator (where formal
agreement with the operator has been established) for the purposes of holding SARWATCH.

2.3 UNICOM
2.3.1 UNICOM (Universal Communications) is a non-ATS communications service provided to
enhance the value of information normally available about a non-controlled airport.
2.3.2 The primary function of the frequency used for UNICOM services where the UNICOM is
the CTAF is to provide pilots with the means to make standard positional broadcasts when oper-
ating in the vicinity of an aerodrome. Participation in UNICOM services must not inhibit the trans-
mission of standard positional broadcasts.
2.3.3 Participation in UNICOM services relates to the exchange of messages concerning:
a. fuel requirements;
b. estimated times of arrival and departure;
c. aerodrome information;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 973

COMMUNICATIONS

d. maintenance and servicing of aircraft including the ordering of parts and materials urgently
required;
e. passenger requirements;
f. unscheduled landings to be made by aircraft;
g. general weather reports; and
h. basic information on traffic.
2.3.4 This information is available to all aircraft during the times that the UNICOM is operating.
2.3.5 Weather reports, other than simple factual statements about the weather, may not be pro-
vided by UNICOM operators unless they hold an aviation weather observer qualification issued by
the Bureau of Meteorology.
2.3.6 The UNICOM operator is solely responsible for the accuracy of any information passed to
an aircraft, while the use of information obtained from a UNICOM is at the discretion of the pilot-
in-command.
2.3.7 Stations providing a UNICOM service are required to be licensed by the Australian Com-
munications and Media Authority (ACMA). Detailed information regarding the licensing and use of
equipment may be obtained by contacting the ACMA in the appropriate State or Territory capital
city.
2.3.8

2.4 AERODROME FREQUENCY RESPONSE UNIT


2.4.1 To assist pilots’ awareness of inadvertent selection of an incorrect VHF frequency when
operating into non-controlled airports, a device known as an Aerodrome Frequency Response
Unit (AFRU) may be installed. An AFRU will provide an automatic response when pilots transmit
on the CTAF for the airport at which it is installed.
2.4.2 The features of the AFRU are as follows:
a. When the aerodrome traffic frequency has not been used for the past five (5) minutes, the
next transmission over two (2) seconds long will cause a voice identification to be transmit-
ted in response; e.g., “GOULBURN CTAF”.
b. When the aerodrome traffic frequency has been used within the previous five (5) minutes, a
300 millisecond tone will be generated after each transmission over two (2) seconds long.
2.4.3 A series of three (3) microphone clicks within a period of five (5) seconds will also cause
the AFRU to transmit a voice identification for the particular aerodrome.
2.4.4 In the event that the transmitter in the AFRU becomes jammed for a period greater than
one minute, the unit will automatically shut down.
2.4.5 The operation of the AFRU provides additional safety enhancements by confirming the
operation of the aircraft’s transmitter and receiver, the volume setting, and that the pilot has selec-
ted the correct frequency for use at that aerodrome.

5 ATS DATA LINK SERVICES


5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 FANS-1/A data link services (CPDLC and ADS-C) are available within airspace controlled
by Australian ATC within the Melbourne (YMMM), Brisbane (YBBB), Honiara (AGGG) and Nauru
(ANAU) FIRs.
5.1.2 Pre-Departure Clearances (PDC) utilizing FANS 1/A data link are not available within Aus-
tralian administered airspace. (See Climb and Cruise, Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC).
5.1.3 The data link procedures described herein are in accordance with international proce-
dures. For more information concerning other data link procedures, refer to Chapter 5 of the ICAO
Global Operational Data Link (GOLD) Manual (Doc 10037).
FMC Waypoint Position Reporting (FMC WPR) is available within Oceanic airspace east of Aus-
tralia for operators whose AOC supports the conversion of ACARS position reports into a suitable
format (ARP) and the forwarding of these messages to ATC. Operators wishing to participate in
FMC WPR should submit such a request to Airservices Australia.

5.2 PILOT RESPONSIBILITIES


5.2.1 Participating flight crews must be trained in the use of data link equipment to a level
approved by the State of Registry of the operator, and the aircraft must meet all State of Registry
ATC data link requirements.
5.2.2 A logon request must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be
initiated by the ground system. The initial logon request must be initiated by the flight crew in
accordance with company and ATS procedures.
5.2.3 When using CPDLC for communications and/or ADS-C or FMC WPR for position report-
ing, flight crews must advise ATC when any fault occurs (e.g. loss of SATCOM) that may result in
the degraded performance or non-availability of CPDLC, ADS-C and/or FMC WPR.
5.2.4 To ensure reliable Automatic Dependant Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) is available,
flight crews must ensure that the ADS-C application remains ARMED. Flight crews must also
ensure that the ADS-C emergency mode has not been selected inadvertently.
5.2.5 CPDLC latency monitor functionality is used in Australian administered airspace.
5.2.5.1 If the aircraft is equipped with variable CPDLC latency monitor functionality, the pilot
must, on receipt of the relevant message, enter the ATC specified latency time value into the air-
craft avionics.
NOTE: Some avionics will automatically set the latency time value.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 978
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.2.5.2 If the aircraft is not equipped with latency monitor functionality, or the functionality is not
available, the pilot must still respond ‘ROGER’ and append the message ‘TIMER NOT AVAILA-
BLE’.
5.2.5.3 On receipt of a CPDLC indication that an uplink message has been delayed, the pilot
must not act on the delayed uplink message and must seek clarification from ATC via voice.
NOTE: Some aircraft systems will discard the delayed message without indication to the flight
crew and will automatically notify ATC of the network delay rejection.
5.2.5.4 When ATC receive an indication of a delayed uplink message, they will either:
a. resend the delayed CPDLC message;
b. contact the pilot via voice to clarify the situation; or
c. instruct the pilot to disregard the CPDLC message, disconnect CPDLC and continue com-
munication by voice.
5.2.5.5 When exiting Australian administered airspace, pilots should reset the latency time value
as appropriate to their company procedure, location and aircraft system.

5.3 CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATION (CPDLC)


APPLICATION
5.3.1 In controlled airspace beyond the range of VHF voice, CPDLC is the primary means of
communication between ATC and flight crews operating FANS-1/A equipped aircraft. HF voice
will be used as the backup communications medium. In Class “G” airspace HF is the primary
means of communication, although controllers may initiate the use of CPDLC. The controller com-
municating by CPDLC holds the responsibility for SAR and communications alerting.
5.3.2 In Australian continental airspace, VHF voice is normally the primary medium for commu-
nication. Within East Coast SSR Coverage flight crews should not initiate CPDLC messaging
except:
a. when transmitting position reports in accordance with para 5.5.1; or
b. when authorized by the controller; or
c. in an emergency.
5.3.3 Outside East coast SSR coverage, ATC and pilots may use CPDLC to augment VHF com-
munications.
5.3.4 Where CPDLC is to be used as the primary means of communication, flight crews will be
instructed on voice when a transfer to CPDLC is required by use of the phraseology:
“TRANSFER TO (MELBOURNE / BRISBANE) CENTER ON DATA LINK. MONITOR [frequency].”
5.3.5 CPDLC messages must be constructed using standard message elements, free text mes-
sage elements or a combination of both. Standard message elements are contained in PANS-
ATM (DOC 4444), Appendix 5 and ICAO Doc 10037 — Global Operational Data Link (GOLD)
Manual (not published herein).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 979
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.3.6 When CPDLC is being used and the intent of the message is included in the CPDLC mes-
sage set contained in PANS-ATM (Doc 4444), Appendix 5 or ICAO Doc 10037 — Global Opera-
tional Data Link (GOLD) Manual (not published herein), the associated standard message ele-
ments must be used.
5.3.7 The use of free text message elements should be kept to a minimum. When the CPDLC
message set contained in the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444) or ICAO Doc 10037 — Global Operational
Data Link (GOLD) Manual (not published herein) does not provide for specific circumstances, the
free text message elements may be used. These free text message elements should be sorted for
selection within the aircraft system or ground system to facilitate their use.
5.3.8 To ensure correct synchronization of messages, dialogues initiated by voice must, when-
ever possible, be closed by voice. Dialogues opened by CPDLC must be closed by CPDLC.
5.3.9 To avoid ambiguity, a CPDLC downlink message should not contain more than one clear-
ance request.
5.3.10 If a CPDLC downlink message contains multiple clearance requests and not all of the
requested clearances are available, the controller will respond with the uplink message UNABLE.
The controller may subsequently uplink a separate CPDLC message containing any requested
clearances that are available.
5.3.11 If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a CPDLC message, clarification must be sought
by voice.
5.3.12 A clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate CPDLC response, not a
readback as would be required if the clearance had been delivered by voice.
5.3.13 The downlink response WILCO indicates that the flight crew has accepted the full terms
of the entire uplink message including any clearance or instruction.
5.3.14 The downlink response UNABLE indicates that the flight crew is unable to accept the
uplinked clearance or instruction. The flight crew must continue to operate in accordance with the
most recently accepted clearance and/or instructions.
5.3.15 The use of the uplink STANDBY message element provides advice that the downlink
request is being assessed and a short-term delay of less than 10 minutes can be expected until a
response will be sent. The original message remains open.
5.3.16 The use of the uplink REQUEST DEFERRED message element provides advice that the
downlink request is being assessed and a longer-term delay of greater than 10 minutes can be
expected until a response will be sent. The original message remains open.

5.4 LOGON PROCEDURES


5.4.1 Before entering an airspace where data link applications are used by the ATS unit, data
link communications shall be initiated between the aircraft and the ATS unit in order to register the
aircraft and, when necessary, allow the start of a data link application. This shall be initiated by
the aircraft, either automatically or by the pilot, or by the ATS unit on address forwarding.
NOTE: Provisions concerning the data link initiation capability (DLIC) are contained in Annex 10,
Volume II, Chapter 8.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 980
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.4.2 Brisbane ATC provides data link services in the Honiara and Nauru FIRs. The logon
address for the appropriate FIR is:
– Brisbane: YBBB
– Honiara: YBBB
– Nauru: YBBB
– Melbourne: YMMM
5.4.3 To avoid automatic rejection of the logon request:
a. the aircraft identification and the aircraft registration contained in the logon request must be
identical to the aircraft details filed in the flight plan; and
b. aircraft departing from airports either within Australia (YBBB or YMMM FIR) or the AGGG
and ANAU FIRs should not log on earlier than 45 minutes prior to the flight planned EOBT,
and
c. aircraft inbound to the YBBB, YMMM, AGGG or ANAU FIRs should not logon:
1. prior to departure; or
2. earlier than 45 minutes prior to the FIR boundary estimate.
5.4.4 Aircraft departing from airports either within Australia (YBBB or YMMM FIR) or the AGGG
and ANAU FIRs, requesting data link services, should logon as described below:
a. On the ground using the logon address for the FIR that the departure airport is located
within; or
b. Airborne at any time after passing 10,000 ft, using the logon address for the FIR in which the
aircraft is currently operating, with the following exceptions:
1. Aircraft approaching an FIR boundary should logon to the next ATS unit, rather than the
current ATS unit; and
2. Airborne aircraft departing Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond should logon in accordance
with the following table:

Airborne aircraft departing Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond


Departure track Logon address
Airborne aircraft departing on tracks south of YMMM
SY–OPTIC through west to SY–RI–MDG.
Airborne aircraft departing on tracks from SY– YBBB
RI–MDG through east to SY–OPTIC (inclusive).

NOTE: The above table applies to logons from airborne aircraft only. Flight crews who logon while
on the ground at Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond must logon to YMMM.
5.4.5 When instructed to logon by voice, the flight crew must readback the logon code.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 981
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.4.6 Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft remaining wholly within East coast SSR Coverage are
not required to logon for data link services.
5.4.7 Flight crews of operators participating in PDC at Australian airports, must not initiate a
logon until after the PDC has been received.
5.4.8 Aircraft requesting data link services on entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs
from a non-data link FIR should logon to the ATS appropriate unit between 15 and 45 minutes
prior to crossing the FIR boundary. CPDLC and ADS-C connections will be established automati-
cally by the ATS unit concerned.
5.4.9 For aircraft entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs from a data link FIR, the
CPDLC connection will be either transferred automatically by the Address Forwarding process, or
the transferring ATS unit will instruct the flight crew to logon manually at an appropriate time / dis-
tance prior to the FIR boundary.
5.4.10 Aircraft transiting between YBBB and YMMM FIRs will be automatically Address Forwar-
ded to the appropriate ATS unit. Aircraft departing Australian airspace (or the AGGG and ANAU
FIRs) and directly entering an adjoining data link FIR can expect to be Address Forwarded to the
appropriate ATS unit prior to the FIR boundary.

5.5 POSITION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS


5.5.1 A CPDLC downlink is required to enable the controlling ATS unit to ensure that it is
CPDLC data authority for the aircraft. To facilitate this, flight crews must send a single CPDLC
position report either:
a. whenever a new CPDLC Connection is established; or
b. on entering the YMMM, YBBB, AGGG or ANAU FIR from another ATS unit; or
c. crossing the YMMM/YBBB FIR boundary, except that aircraft inbound to land at Sydney/
Bankstown/Richmond from the north or east are not required to downlink a CPDLC position
report at the FIR boundary 45 NM from Sydney.
5.5.2 Following this initial CPDLC position report, additional CPDLC or voice position reports are
not required unless specifically requested by ATC. A CPDLC position report is not required when
an aircraft is transferred from voice to CPDLC providing a report was downlinked earlier in
accordance with paragraph 5.5.1.
5.5.3 For non-identified aircraft, ADS–C reporting fulfills position reporting requirements. In the
event of ADS–C failure, the pilot will be instructed to resume position reporting by either voice or
CPDLC as appropriate.

5.6 CPDLC LEVEL REPORTING FOLLOWING CHANGE OF LEVEL


5.6.1 For non-identified aircraft, ADS–C reports fulfil level reporting requirements for a flight.
Where ATC requires a CPDLC report, following or during a change of level, an appropriate
instruction, will be uplinked; e.g., “CLIMB TO AND MAINTAIN 370. REPORT LEVEL 370” or
“REPORT LEAVING 350”
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 982
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.6.2 Upon receipt of this CPDLC uplink, flight crews must ensure that the correct downlink
report is sent.
5.6.3 If no instruction to make a CPDLC report is received, the flight crew has no requirement to
report either maintaining the assigned level, or leaving the previously assigned level.

5.7 REPORTING BACK ON ROUTE BY CPDLC


5.7.1 If an aircraft is subject to a weather deviation and has been instructed to report back on
route, the CPDLC BACK ON ROUTE message must not be downlinked until either:
– The aircraft has rejoined its previously cleared route; or
– The aircraft has requested and has been cleared direct to a subsequent waypoint and is pro-
ceeding directly to that waypoint.
5.7.2 If an aircraft is off track, but proceeding directly to a subsequent waypoint, the BACK ON
ROUTE message must not be downlinked until after the aircraft has sequenced that waypoint.
NOTE: Downlinking BACK ON ROUTE before the aircraft is actually established on the cleared
route may result in ATC applying incorrect separation tolerances to the aircraft.

5.8 BLOCK LEVEL CLEARANCES


5.8.1 Subject to traffic, ATC may issue block level clearances to facilitate operations in adverse
weather or to allow flight crews to optimize fuel burn for an aircraft.
5.8.2 A block level clearance is cancelled or amended by the issuing of a new vertical clear-
ance.
5.8.3 To request a cancellation of a block clearance when it is no longer required, flight crews
should downlink a CPDLC request for the preferred level in order to enable ATC to issue the new
vertical clearance.

5.9 REVISION OF ESTIMATES USING CPDLC


5.9.1 Under normal circumstances, an aircraft position reporting via ADS-C is not required to
advise ATC of any revised waypoint estimates. Exceptions are:
a. revisions of greater than two (2) minutes to a previous flight crew advised estimate (i.e., by
voice or CPDLC); or
b. following a flight crew-initiated action (e.g., speed change) resulting in an amended estimate
of greater than two (2) minutes.
5.9.2 If required, flight crews shall advise a revised estimate by one of the following methods:
a. by voice report; or
b. a CPDLC position report containing the revised estimate; or
c. the CPDLC free text message element, “REVISED ETA [position] [time]”.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 983
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.10 CPDLC MESSAGE RESTRICTIONS


5.10.1 Controllers will not issue uplink instructions relating to cruise climbs, or the message ele-
ment “CRUISE (altitude)”. Additionally, controllers will not issue uplink instructions containing the
“AT PILOT DISCRETION” message element.

5.11 CPDLC CONTACT AND MONITOR MESSAGES


5.11.1 The format of the [frequency] variable in the CPDLC “CONTACT” and “MONITOR” mes-
sage elements permits the inclusion of only a single frequency. Due to this limitation, only the pri-
mary frequency will be notified to the flight crews. The secondary frequency – uplinked as a free
text – will be available on request.
5.11.2 The format of the [unit name] variable in the CPDLC “CONTACT” and “MONITOR” mes-
sage elements does not support ATS unit types such as “RADIO”, or “HF”. Due to this limitation,
“CENTRE” will be used (i.e. “CONTACT BRISBANE CENTRE 13261”, rather than “CONTACT
BRISBANE HF 13261”).

5.12 CPDLC ROUTE CLEARANCES


5.12.1 On occasion, controllers may issue amended route clearances by CPDLC in order to
optimize an aircraft’s route, or to separate with either traffic or restricted airspace. Operators must
ensure that flight crews are familiar with the functionality associated with the display and loading
of CPDLC route clearances.

5.13 CPDLC FAILURE


5.13.1 Flight crews becoming aware of a CPDLC connection failure when CPDLC is being used
as the primary means of communication must re-establish primary communications on the appro-
priate voice frequency.
5.13.2 In the event of either a programmed or unexpected CPDLC shutdown, ATC will advise all
data link connected aircraft to re-establish primary communications by voice. The return of the
system to an operational state may require a new logon from affected aircraft. Voice will continue
to be used as the primary means of communication until CPDLC connections are re-established
and ATC has authorized a return to data link communications.

5.14 NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY


5.14.1 Depending on the nature of the emergency condition experienced, flight crews should
notify ATC of the circumstances by the most efficient means (voice, CPDLC or ADS–C).
5.14.2 If a CPDLC MAYDAY or PAN message is received by the ATS unit, ATC will respond
with the free text uplink message ROGER MAYDAY (or ROGER PAN). ATC will not expect a
ROGER response to the uplink until being notified that the emergency situation has been cancel-
led or stabilized to the extent that messages are able to continue being exchanged (if CPDLC is
considered to be the best communications medium for the situation).
5.14.3 ATC may respond via CPDLC to a report indicating unlawful interference with the uplink
message ROGER 7500.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 984
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.14.4 If an ADS–C report containing emergency mode is received by the ground system with-
out voice or CPDLC confirmation of an emergency situation, ATC will check for inadvertent activa-
tion of emergency mode by voice or CPDLC using the phraseology “CONFIRM ADS–C EMER-
GENCY”.
a. If the emergency mode has been inadvertently activated, the flight crew must respond by
voice or CPDLC using the phraseology “ADS–C RESET” and cancel the ADS–C emergency
mode.
b. ATC will assume an emergency situation exists if there is no confirmation that the activation
of emergency mode was inadvertent and ADS–C emergency reports are still being received.
5.14.5 When an emergency situation no longer exists, the flight crew should cancel the ADS–C
emergency mode (if activated).

6 RADIOTELEPHONY PROCEDURES
6.1 INTRODUCTION
6.1.1 The communication procedures, phraseologies and requirements contained in this section
have been selected to harmonize with ICAO and international practices, where applicable. Addi-
tional phrases to supplement where ICAO is silent have been included.
6.1.2 Primary reference documents on radiotelephony are ICAO Doc 4444, Doc 9432, and
Annex 10. ATS and pilots should refer to these documents to obtain additional information as nec-
essary. Only procedures appropriate to Australia and commonly used phrases are contained in
this section.
6.1.3 Use of standard phrases for radiotelephony communication between aircraft and ground
stations is essential to avoid misunderstanding the intent of messages and to reduce the time
required for communication.
6.1.4 Where circumstances warrant, and no phraseology is available, clear and concise plain
language should be used to indicate intentions.
6.1.5 Phraseologies contained in this section are generic, and, although primarily reflecting a
controlled airspace environment, pilots operating in Class “G” airspace should use these generic
phrases unless specific Class “G” phrases are shown.

6.2 TRANSMISSION FORMAT


6.2.1 When initiating a transmission to ATS, pilots will commence the transmission with the call
sign of the unit being addressed, followed by the aircraft call sign.
6.2.2 The ATS unit will respond using the station’s call sign followed by their call sign. In the
absence of an instruction to “STAND BY”, this response by the ATS unit is an invitation for the
aircraft calling to pass their message.
NOTE: The use of the words “GO AHEAD” is no longer considered appropriate due to the possi-
bility of misconstruing “GO AHEAD” as an authorization for an aircraft to proceed.
6.2.3 A readback of an ATS message will terminate with the aircraft’s radio call sign.

6.3 READBACK REQUIREMENTS


6.3.1 Pilots must transmit a correct readback of ATC clearances, instructions and information
which are transmitted by voice. For other than Item a., only key elements of the following clearan-
ces, instructions, or information must be read back ensuring sufficient detail is included to indicate
compliance:
a. an ATC route clearance in its entirety, and any amendments;
NOTE: “Rest of clearance unchanged” is not required to be read back.
b. enroute holding instructions;
c. any route and runway-holding position specified in a taxi clearance;
d. any clearances, conditional clearances or instructions to hold short of, enter, land on, condi-
tional line-up on, wait, take off from, cross, taxi or backtrack on, any runway or HLS;
e. any approach clearance;
f. assigned runway, HLS;
g. altimeter settings directed to specific aircraft, radio and radio navigation aid frequency
instructions;
NOTE: An “expectation” of the runway to be used is not to be read back.
h. SSR codes, data link logon addresses;
i. level instructions, direction of turn, heading and speed instructions.
6.3.2 The controller will listen to the readback to ascertain that the clearance or instruction has
been correctly acknowledged and will take immediate action to correct any discrepancies
revealed by the readback.
6.3.3 Reported level figures of an aircraft must be preceded by the words “FLIGHT LEVEL”
when related to standard pressure, and may be followed by the word “FEET” when related to
QNH.

6.4 CONDITIONAL CLEARANCES


6.4.1 In all cases, a conditional clearance will be given in the following order and consist of:
a. identification (call sign);
b. the condition (including position of the subject of the condition);
c. the clearance; and
d. brief reiteration of the condition.

6.5 ROUTE TERMINOLOGY


6.5.1 The phrase “FLIGHT PLANNED ROUTE” may be used to describe any route or portion
thereof that is identical to that filed in the flight notification and sufficient routing details are given
to definitely establish the aircraft on its route.

6.6 AMENDED ROUTE OR LEVEL


6.6.1 When ATS provide an initial airways clearance that is not in accordance with the details
currently held by ATC system, ATS will prefix the route and/or level details with the word “AMEN-
DED”.
6.6.2 When an issued airways clearance needs to be changed ATS will prefix the new route
and/or level details with the word “RECLEARED”. The level will be stated in all clearance changes
regardless of whether a change to the cleared level is made or not.
6.6.3 The prefixes “AMENDED” and “RECLEARED” will not be used:
a. for SID or STAR clearances; or
b. during normal progressive climb/descent instructions

6.7 LANGUAGE
6.7.1 English language must be used for all air-ground RTF communications within Australian
FIRs unless use of an alternative language has been arranged with ATS prior to any specific
flight.

6.11 GROUND STATION CALL SIGNS


6.11.1 ATS Call Signs
6.11.1.1 ATS units are identified by the name of the location followed by the service available as
follows:
– CENTER — Enroute area control, including SIS and FIS.
– APPROACH — Approach control where provided as a separate function.
– DEPARTURES — Departure control where provided as a separate function.
– FINAL/DIRECTOR — Surveillance control providing vectors onto final approach.
– TOWER — Airport control or airport and approach control where these services are provided
from an airport control tower, e.g., Coffs Harbour.
– GROUND — Surface movement control.
– DELIVERY — Clearance delivery to departing aircraft.
– FLIGHTWATCH — Flight Information Service.
6.11.1.2 The name of the location or the service may be omitted provided that satisfactory com-
munication has been established.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 991

COMMUNICATIONS

6.12 AIRCRAFT CALL SIGNS


6.12.1 Improper use of call signs can result in pilots executing a clearance intended for another
aircraft. Call signs should never be abbreviated on an initial contact or at any time when other air-
craft call signs have similar numbers/sounds or identical letters/numbers, e.g.: CHARLIE WHIS-
KEY ZULU – WHISKEY CHARLIE ZULU.
6.12.2 Pilots must be certain that aircraft identification is complete and clearly identified before
taking action on an ATC clearance. ATS will use full or abbreviated call signs in accordance with
section 6.18. The pilot may use an abbreviated call sign when initiated by ATS. When aware of
similar/identical call signs, ATS will take action to minimize errors by:
a. emphasizing certain numbers/letters,
b. repeating the entire call sign, e.g., QANTAS451 QANTAS451, or
c. repeating the prefix, e.g., QANTAS451 QANTAS, or
d. asking pilots to use a different call sign, either temporarily or for the duration of the flight.
Pilots should use the phrase “VERIFY CLEARANCE FOR (complete call sign)” if doubt exists
concerning proper identity.
6.12.3 Civil aircraft pilots may state the aircraft type, model or manufacturer’s name, followed by
the digits/letters of the registration number, e.g.:
Bonanza CHARLIE ALPHA ECHO Cherokee ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE.

6.13 FLIGHT NUMBER CALL SIGNS — USING GROUP FORM


6.13.1 Within Australian airspace “group form” is the preferred means of transmitting call sign/
flight number. Group form should also be used with military and other aircraft using a rootword
call sign with numeric suffix.
6.13.2 Group form is the grouping of numbers into pairs, or where a number ending in “00” is
spoken in hundreds (refer to Selection of Aircraft Identification Numbers and Suffixes). For three
digit numbers, the second and third numbers are grouped. Examples are as follows:

QLINK 122 QLINK ONE TWENTY TWO


QANTAS 1220 QANTAS TWELVE TWENTY
CAR 21 CAR TWENTY ONE
CLASSIC 12 CLASSIC TWELVE
VIRGIN 702 VIRGIN SEVEN ZERO TWO
BIRDOG 021 BIRDOG ZERO TWENTY ONE

6.13.3 Pilots and ATS should be aware that the preference to use “group form” does not invalid-
ate any transmissions made in conventional formats. However, to retain the integrity in the com-
munication between ATS and operators, the identification format used should be consistent.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 992
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

6.13.4 A pilot not using “group form” in establishing communication, but subsequently
addressed by ATS in this format, should adopt the use of “group form” for the remainder of the
flight in Australian airspace.
6.13.5 There is no additional abbreviated form when using flight number call signs. The airline
designator and all digits of the call sign, including leading zeros, must be pronounced.

6.14 SELECTION OF AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND


SUFFIXES
6.14.1 When selecting an aircraft identification number or call sign suffix, operators should avoid
using numbers that correlate with:
a. ending in “zero” or “five”, to avoid confusion with headings;
b. potential level utilization (eg. 3000, 500, 350 etc);
c. emergency codes (eg. 7600, 7700 etc) and
d. numerical aircraft types (eg. 767, 330 etc).
6.14.2 Flight numbers and call sign suffix numbers should be limited to 2 or 3 characters and
take into account flight numbers already in use by the operator and other agencies in the intended
control environment, operational area or nearby.

6.15 GROUND VEHICLES


6.15.1 Ground vehicles shall be identified by the type of vehicle; e.g., car, truck, tractor, tug,
etc., or an ATS approved format, followed by the assigned vehicle number spoken in group form.
e.g.:

TRUCK 12 “TRUCK TWELVE”


CAR 23 “CAR TWENTY THREE”.

6.16 INTERCHANGE AND LEASED AIRCRAFT


6.16.1 Controllers issue traffic information based on familiarity with airline equipment and color /
markings. When an airline dispatches a flight using another company’s aircraft and the pilot does
not advise the terminal ATC facility, the possible confusion in aircraft identification can compro-
mise safety.
6.16.2 Pilots flying an “interchange” or “leased” aircraft, not bearing the normal colors/markings
of the company operating the aircraft, should inform the terminal ATC facility (on first contact) of
the name of the operating company and aircraft call sign, followed by the company name as dis-
played on the aircraft, and aircraft type, e.g., VELOCITY THREE ELEVEN, AIR NEW ZEALAND
INTERCHANGE (or LEASE), BOEING SEVEN FOUR SEVEN.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 993
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

6.17 UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES


6.17.1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) should select identification based on the aircraft manu-
facturer or model using a maximum of three syllables. Numbers may be added. UAV flight plan
identification is detailed in ATC — FLIGHT PLANNING — ATS Flight Notification — User Guide.
6.17.2 Communications on any frequency must use the prefix “UNMANNED” before the call
sign. When the UAV operation is conducted in controlled airspace ATC may vary this requirement
after initial contact.

6.18 CALL SIGNS — FULL AND ABBREVIATED FORMATS


6.18.1 When establishing 2-way communications and for subsequent communications on any
frequency, Australian registered aircraft must use one of the following call signs:
a. for VH-registered aircraft, the last 3 characters of the registration marking (e.g. VH-TQK
“TANGO QUEBEC KILO”); or
b. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the last 3
characters of a VH registration marking (eg “QLINK TANGO QUEBEC KILO”); or
c. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the flight
identification (e.g., “VELOCITY EIGHT FIFTY SIX DELTA”); or
d. for recreation-category aircraft, the aircraft type followed by the last 4 characters of the air-
craft’s registration number (e.g. “JABIRU THIRTEEN FORTY SIX”); or
e. for certain special task operations see CALL SIGNS — SPECIAL TASK OPERATIONS
below.
6.18.2 When establishing 2-way communications on any frequency, foreign registered aircraft
must use one of the following call signs:
a. the characters corresponding to the registration marking of the aircraft (eg N35826 “NOVEM-
BER THREE FIFTY EIGHT TWENTY SIX”); or
b. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the last 4
characters of the registration marking of the aircraft (eg “UNITED FIFTY EIGHT TWENTY
SIX”); or
c. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the flight
identification (eg “SPEEDBIRD FIFTY FIVE”).
NOTE: The name of the aircraft manufacturer or aircraft model may be used as a radiotelephony
prefix to the call sign type mentioned in sub-para 6.18.1a and 6.18.2a.
6.18.3 For foreign registered aircraft, after establishing 2-way communications, ATS may initiate
abbreviated call signs for the type stated in 6.18.2a and 6.18.2b. These call signs may be abbrevi-
ated to:
a. the first character of the registration and at least the last 2 characters of the registration
marking (eg N35826 “NOVEMBER EIGHT TWENTY SIX”).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 994
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

b. the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by at least the last 2 char-
acters of the registration marking (eg “UNITED TWENTY SIX”).
NOTE: For flight planning, all call signs are limited to 7 characters.
6.18.4 In addition to the requirements of 6.18.1 to 6.18.3, the prefix “HELICOPTER” must be
used by rotary wing aircraft when first establishing 2-way communications on any frequency (eg
VH-WSO “HELICOPTER WHISKEY SIERRA OSCAR”).
6.18.5 Civil formation flights of Australian registered aircraft may use the suffix “FORMATION”
after one of the following call signs:
a. the registration of the formation leader e.g., “ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE FORMATION”; or
b. the approved telephony designator of the formation leader, with or without an alpha or
numeric, e.g., “JETSPEED FORMATION” or “JETSPEED ONE FORMATION” or “JET-
SPEED BRAVO FORMATION”.

6.19 REGISTRATION OF RADIOTELEPHONY DESIGNATORS


6.19.1 Operators wishing to use flight number call signs must obtain approval from Airservices
Australia. Application information and materials are available from Airservices Australia website:
www.airservicesaustralia.com/about-us/our-services/flight-number-call-signs.

6.20 CALL SIGNS — SPECIAL TASK OPERATIONS


6.20.1 Aircraft engaged in special task operations, and with the agreement of ATS, may use a
call sign indicative of the nature of the task, with a numerical suffix (if applicable), e.g.:

ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

1 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES


1.1 Pilots requesting an ATS surveillance service should address their request to the ATS unit
with which they are communicating.
1.2 Where an Area Approach Control Center (AACC) is not established, the pilot will be advised
the time or place to transfer to a control frequency.
1.3 Where an AACC is established, procedural and ATS surveillance services may be provided
on a common frequency. The call sign identifies the service being provided; e.g., “....CENTER”,
“....APPROACH”, “....DEPARTURES”.

2 IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES
2.1 Before exercising an ATS surveillance there will be positive identification of the aircraft con-
cerned. Control services will not be provided until the aircraft is within controlled airspace.

3 VECTORING PROCEDURES
3.1 On receipt of heading instructions, the pilot must, unless otherwise instructed, immediately
commence a rate 1 turn, or the standard rate of turn for the aircraft type, and then maintain the
heading given.
3.2 Aircraft will normally be vectored on routes along which the pilot can monitor navigation.
3.3 ATC are not permitted to vector Special VFR flights, unless warranted by emergency condi-
tions.
3.4 When an aircraft is given a vector which will take it off an established route, the pilot will be
advised of the reason for the vector unless it is self-evident.
3.5 When an aircraft reports unreliable directional instruments, the pilot will be requested, prior
to the issuance of maneuvering instructions, to make all turns at an agreed rate and to carry out
the instructions immediately on receipt.
3.6 When aircraft are being vectored, the controller will assign altitudes which allow for terrain
clearance. However, in VMC by day an aircraft may be permitted to arrange its own terrain clear-
ance. In such instances, the aircraft will be instructed to [TURN LEFT (or RIGHT) HEADING
(heading)] [CLIMB (or DESCEND) TO (level)] VISUAL.
3.7 Pilots being vectored will be routinely advised of their position to enable pilot navigation in
the event of communication or ATS surveillance system failure.
3.8 The interval between ATC transmissions will be kept short to enable the pilot to quickly rec-
ognize a communication failure. When aircraft are on headings that could infringe terrain clear-
ance or separation standards, the interval between transmissions will not exceed 30 seconds.
3.9 Before take-off ATC may assign a heading for a departing aircraft to assume after take-off,
followed by frequency change instructions if appropriate. Headings, other than those assigned for
a radar SID, will only be issued for a visual departure by day.
3.10 Arriving aircraft may be vectored to:
a. establish for a radar or pilot-interpreted approach;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1059
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

b. a position from which a visual approach can be made;


c. avoid areas of hazardous weather or severe turbulence;
d. expedite traffic flow or conform to noise abatement requirements.
3.11 For a pilot-interpreted approach, aircraft will be vectored to be established on final track at
least two (2) miles prior to commencement of final approach. The final intercept heading will nor-
mally intercept the final approach track at an angle of 45° or less. When an aircraft is vectored for
a shortened instrument approach, the final approach point is the interception of the prescribed
descent profile.
3.12 Should the aircraft have to be vectored through the final approach track, the controller will
advise the pilot.
3.13 When the aircraft is provided with the vector to intercept final for a pilot-interpreted
approach, the pilot will be:
a. advised of range from the airport, or position reference the final approach point;
b. informed that the vector is to intercept the approach aid;
c. provided with a clearance for the approach, when such a clearance has been authorized;
and
d. instructed to report when established on the final approach track.
NOTE: When ILS/GLS is used for final approach, pilots should report when established on
the localizer and not delay this report until the glide path is intercepted.
3.14 When the pilot reports established on final, they shall be advised when to transfer to the
tower frequency.
3.15 Unless otherwise instructed, the pilot-in-command should change automatically to tower
frequency, provided that:
a. the aircraft is established on the final approach track and has been cleared for final
approach; and
b. air-ground communications congestion or failure has not allowed the pilot to report “ESTAB-
LISHED” or obtain a clearance to transfer to tower; and
c. transfer to tower shall not be prior to 4 NM from touchdown.
3.16 A vectoring service will not normally be terminated until the aircraft is established within the
navigation tolerance of its cleared route, except on transfer to tower. However, subject to identifi-
cation, a vectoring service will be continued if requested.
3.17 When a vectoring service is terminated, the pilot will be:
a. provided with position information, including, if applicable, displacement from the nominated
track; and
b. provided with a heading or track clearance to intercept the nominated track for the pilot-inter-
preted navigation aid; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1060
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

c. provided with a track clearance direct to an RNAV way-point to intercept the nominated track
(for an RNAV or RNP approved aircraft).
3.18 Position information will be passed to aircraft in one of the following forms:
a. a bearing and distance (using points of the compass) from the airport reference point, a navi-
gation aid, or a known position;
b. a heading and distance to the appropriate reporting point, enroute navigation aid, or
approach aid;
c. over a well known geographical position;
d. a distance to the runway touchdown (as track miles to run).
3.19 An aircraft under ATS surveillance service control will be advised of its position in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
a. on identification, unless the identification is established:
1. based on the pilot’s report of the aircraft position, or within 1 NM of the runway on
departure, if the observed position on the situation display is consistent with the air-
craft’s time of departure; or
2. by use of ADS-B aircraft identification, SSR Mode S aircraft identification or assigned
discrete SSR codes if the location of the observed position indication is consistent with
the current flight plan of the aircraft; or
3. by transfer of identification;
b. when the pilot requests this information;
c. when the pilot’s estimate differs significantly from the controller’s estimate based on the
observed position;
d. when the pilot is instructed to resume own navigation after vectoring if the current instruc-
tions had diverted the aircraft from a previously assigned route;
e. immediately before termination of ATS surveillance service, if the aircraft is observed to devi-
ate from its intended route.
f. as soon, after first contact with approach radar control, as a distance to run to touchdown
becomes evident;
g. when a regular circuit pattern is used to vector on to the final approach path (at least once on
each leg);
h. when a straight-in approach is provided.

4 ATC RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF UNIDENTIFIED


AIRCRAFT
4.1 ATC has no responsibility to initiate avoiding action for aircraft in controlled airspace in
respect of unidentified aircraft which can reasonably be assumed to be outside controlled air-
space.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1061
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

4.2 If an aircraft is likely to be a hazard to controlled aircraft receiving an ATS surveillance serv-
ice, the controller will take appropriate action to preserve the safety of the controlled aircraft.
4.3 Where there is an ATS surveillance service in non-controlled airspace, identified IFR aircraft
and VFR aircraft receiving a SIS will be provided with traffic information about known conflicting
aircraft, unless it is impracticable. If requested by the pilot and if possible, a course of avoiding
action will be suggested.
4.4 Traffic information in respect of an unidentified aircraft will normally take the following form:
a. relative position of the unidentified aircraft to aircraft track in terms of the 12 hour clock
except that, if the identified aircraft is turning, relative position will be specified by reference
to compass points;
b. distance from the unidentified aircraft in miles;
c. direction in which the unidentified aircraft appears to be proceeding.

5 SPEED CONTROL (ARRIVING AIRCRAFT)


5.1 To facilitate the provision of ATS surveillance services in controlled airspace, a pilot may
expect the application of speed control. ATC-issued speed control instructions refer to indicated
airspeed or Mach number.
5.2 The pilot must request an alternative when an ATC-issued speed control instruction is unac-
ceptable on operational grounds.
5.3 When the application of speed control can be foreseen, a pilot will be advised of future inten-
tions.
5.4 An ATC-issued speed control instruction, while in force, explicitly cancels published speed
restrictions.
NOTE: Airspace speed limitations still apply.
5.5 A pilot will be advised when a specific ATC-issued speed control instruction is no longer
necessary. Unless otherwise stated, an ATC-issued speed control instruction applies until the air-
craft reaches the point in the descent profile where the speed would normally be reduced below
that assigned by ATC. Except for a STAR, a DME arrival, or unless otherwise specified, a clear-
ance for final approach or a clearance for visual approach terminates speed control.

7.1 OPERATION OF SSR TRANSPONDERS
7.1.1 Except as indicated below, ATS will assign a temporary discrete code for each flight sector
for aircraft operating in controlled airspace, and for aircraft participating in Surveillance Informa-
tion Service (SIS).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1062
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

7.1.2 Unless advised otherwise by ATC, pilots of Mode 3A or Mode S transponder-equipped air-
craft operating in Australian airspace must activate their transponders, and where a Mode C
capability is also available it must be activated simultaneously with Mode 3A.
NOTE: Pilots must ensure that transponders and ADS-B transmitters are activated and the alti-
tude function is selected, as:
a. primary radar coverage only exists within 50 NM of major airports and the remainder of the
ATS surveillance system relies on SSR transponder and ADS-B transmitter information; and
b. TCAS relies on transponder information for its pilot alerting and collision avoidance func-
tions.
7.1.3 Consistent with ICAO Regional (Asia & Pacific – APAC) SSR code management code
continuity objectives, Australia's ATM system has been configured to maximize retention of the
discrete code assigned on departure to international flights inbound to, or over flying, Australia.
This retention normally relies on code assignment notified via the DEP message, and is princi-
pally enabled for departures from other APAC Region States. When a departure or other code
assigned to a flight cannot be retained in Australian airspace, pilots will be assigned a new SSR
code. ATC procedures may also require that pilots be asked to squawk the code being retained.
7.1.4 When operating in Australian airspace, or on reaching the Australian FIR boundary if
inbound to Australia, pilots of Mode 3A transponder equipped aircraft must squawk the assigned
temporary discrete code for that flight sector, or if not assigned a temporary discrete code, the
appropriate non-discrete code from the following listing, unless advised otherwise by ATS:
a. Civil flights in classes A, C and D airspace, or IFR flights in Class E airspace — 3000.
b. Civil IFR flights in Class G airspace — 2000.
c. Civil VFR flights in classes E or G airspace — 1200.
d. Military flights in classes A, C, D or E airspace — 5000.
e. Military flights in Class G airspace — 6000.
f. Civil flights in Class G over water at a distance greater than 15 NM from shore — 4000.
g. Civil flights engaged in littoral surveillance — 7615.
h. Ground testing by aircraft maintenance staff — 2100.
i. Flights operating at aerodromes (in lieu of a., b., or c. when assigned by ATC) — 0100.
j. RPAS in all classes of airspace and when instructed to enable transponder — 7000.
7.1.5 Pilots of flights which will require a SIS and/or a clearance into controlled airspace, and for
which a discrete code has already been coordinated, must select that code immediately prior to
making the SIS/clearance request.
7.1.6 A pilot must not operate the identification function (SPI) unless requested by ATC.
7.1.7 Flights assigned a temporary discrete SSR code by ATS must squawk that code until ter-
mination of the flight sector, unless advised otherwise by ATS. If not assigned a discrete code, the
appropriate generic code must be used.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1063

ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

7.1.8 A pilot operating a Mode 3A/C transponder at a radar controlled aerodrome must:
a. on departure, leave the transponder selected to STANDBY until entering the departure
runway; and
b. on arrival, select the transponder to STANDBY or OFF as soon as practicable after landing.
7.1.9 A pilot operating a Mode S transponder must:
a. Enter the aircraft’s identification that corresponds exactly to the Aircraft Identification shown
in Item 7 of the flight notification filed with air traffic control for the flight for those aircraft that
are capable of reporting Aircraft Identification. The ICAO defined format for entry of the Air-
craft Identification shall be used except for domestic operations when VH is not to be entered
on the flight notification. (e.g. VOZ123D, REX638, QFA842, VHQFO (international), FDA...)
b. On receipt of ATC clearance, or requesting the earlier of Push Back or Taxi, select TA/RA/
XPDR/ON AUTO as applicable.
NOTE 1: If AUTO mode is not available Select ON (e.g. XPDR) and assigned Mode A code.
NOTE 2: Australia does not require TA/RA to be de-selected while aircraft is on ground.
c. When parked and shutting down engines, select STANDBY.
d. For Mode S equipped aircraft taxiing without flight plan, the appropriate Mode A code
according to para 7.1.4 should be selected and the aircraft identification entered exactly as
the callsign used in flight.
7.1.10 Pilots must select the transponder to STANDBY before effecting an SSR code change
and returning the transponder to ON/ALT.
NOTE: This action is required to prevent possible loss of displayed aircraft position / label infor-
mation and possible misidentification of aircraft in automated Australian ATC systems due to tem-
porary selection (while effecting the change) of a code already in use.
7.1.11 When acknowledging code setting instructions or changes to settings, the pilot must read
back the code to be set.
7.1.12 To facilitate harmonization with the air traffic management systems used in the FIRs of
adjacent ICAO states (other than the Mauritius FIR), ATC will allocate civil international flights a
discrete code from Australia’s ICAO international reservation for use from the time of their depar-
ture.
7.1.13 Unless instructed otherwise by ATS, pilots of military international flights are required to
set code 5000 before departure from an Australian airport.

8 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPONDERS


8.1 Pilots of aircraft fitted with a serviceable Mode 3A or Mode S transponder must activate the
transponder at all times during flight, and if the Mode 3A transponder is Mode C capable, that
mode must also be operated continuously.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1064
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

8.2 Aircraft equipped with a Mode S transponder having an aircraft identification feature shall
transmit the aircraft identification as specified in Item 7 of the flight notification or, when no flight
notification has been filed, the aircraft registration.

9 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS FOR ADS-B TRANSMITTERS


9.1 Pilots of aircraft fitted with a serviceable ADS-B transmitter which has been confirmed suita-
ble to receive ADS-B derived ATS surveillance services in Australia should activate the transmit-
ter at all times during flight.
NOTE 1: Some ADS-B installations may share controls with the SSR transponder, meaning that
independent operation of the two systems is not possible.
NOTE 2: If it is not possible to comply with a particular instruction the pilot shall advise ATC and
request alternative instructions.
9.2 Aircraft equipped with ADS-B having an aircraft identification feature shall transmit the air-
craft identification as specified in the flight notification or, when no flight notification has been filed,
the aircraft registration.
9.3 For further information on the operation of ADS-B transmitters, including normal and emer-
gency codes, see Emergency.

1 GLIDING OPERATIONS
1.1 GENERAL
1.1.1 For rules relating to gliding operations refer to the CAO 95.4, CAO 95.4.1 and CAO 95.8.
1.1.2 Pilots should take extra care when operating at an airport where gliding operations are in
progress. Gliding operations are indicated by the “gliding operations in progress” ground signal
displayed next to the primary wind direction indicator. Pilots should also establish whether the
gliders are being launched by wire or aerotow, or both.
1.1.3 Where aerotowing is in progress, pilots should remain well clear of gliders under tow. If
wire launching is used, pilots should establish the locations of the winch or tow car and the cable,
and remain well clear. Overflying the runway below 2000 ft AGL is not advised, nor is landing
without first ascertaining that the cable is on the ground and not across the landing path. Aerotow
and winch launching are possible up to 4000 ft AGL but launches to 1500 ft or 2000 ft AGL are
normal.
1.1.4 In Class G airspace, gliders may be operating no-radio on Area VHF or on frequencies
122.5, 122.7 or 122.9 MHz. Radio-equipped gliders at, or in the vicinity of, non-controlled airports
make broadcasts in accordance with the table in ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LAND-
ING PROCEDURES — Recommended Calls.

1.2 OPERATIONS AT CERTIFIED AIRPORTS


1.2.1 Gliding operations may be conducted from:
a. a glider runway strip within the runway strip (single runway), using a common circuit direc-
tion;
b. a glider runway strip adjacent to the existing runway strip (dual runways), using a common
circuit direction; or
c. a separate glider runway strip parallel to and spaced away from the existing runway strip
(parallel runways), using contra-circuit procedures.
1.2.2 Details of the gliding operation may be published in the Airport Directory or on Terminal
Airport charts. When procedures are changed for intensive short-term gliding activity, a NOTAM
will be issued.
1.2.3 Where dual or parallel runways are established, the glider runway strip will conform to
normal movement area standards, but will be marked by conspicuous markers of a color other
than white. Glider runway strips must not be used except by gliders, tug aircraft and other author-
ized aircraft.
1.2.4 Where a single runway is established and gliders operate within the runway strip, the
runway strip markers may be moved outwards to incorporate the glider runway strip. Glider move-
ment and parking areas are established outside of the runway strips. When the glider runway strip
is occupied by a tug aircraft or glider, the runway is deemed to be occupied. Aircraft using the
runway may, however, commence their take-off run from a position ahead of a stationary glider or
tug aircraft.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1066
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

1.2.5 Except for gliders approaching to land, powered aircraft have priority in the use of run-
ways, taxiways and aprons where a single runway or dual runway operation is established.
1.2.6 At the locations where parallel runways exist and contra-circuit procedures apply, opera-
tions on the two parallel runways by aircraft below 5700kg MTOW may be conducted independ-
ently in VMC by day. Aircraft must not operate within the opposing circuit area below 1500 ft AGL.
Pilots should ascertain the runways in use as early as possible and conform to that circuit. A
crossing runway should only be used when operationally necessary, and traffic using the crossing
runway should avoid conflicting with the established circuit.
1.2.7 At airports other than for which contra-circuits are prescribed, gliders are generally
required to conform to the established circuit direction. However, unforeseen circumstances may
occasionally compel a glider to execute a non-standard pattern, including use of the opposite cir-
cuit direction in extreme cases.
1.2.8 A listening watch on the appropriate VHF frequency must be maintained while operating at
or in the vicinity of non-controlled airports by the tug pilot. The winch or tow-vehicle driver should
also maintain a listening watch during wire launching. The tug pilot or winch/car driver may be
able to advise glider traffic information to inbound or taxiing aircraft.
NOTE: The appropriate VHF frequency is as detailed in the table in ATC — DEPARTURE,
APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES — Operations in Class G Airspace — Communica-
tions.
1.2.9 Where wire launching is used, launching will cease and the wire will be retracted or moved
off the strip when another aircraft joins the circuit or is taxiing, or a radio call is received indicating
this. A white strobe light is displayed by a winch, or a yellow rotating beacon by a tow-car or asso-
ciated vehicle, whenever the cable is deployed.
1.2.10

2 POLICE OPERATIONS
2.1 An aircraft operated by police authorities which requires priority in situations where life is
threatened must use the call sign “POLAIR RED” or “FEDPOL RED”. Police must call “POLAIR/
FEDPOL RED PRIORITY” on first contact.

3 BALLOON OPERATIONS
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 Part 131 aircraft are permitted to operate in recreational, specialized balloon operations,
commercial balloon flying training and balloon transport operations. Commercial balloon flying
training and balloon transport operations are flown under an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) — the
pilot in command holds a commercial pilot (balloon) license and is responsible to a chief pilot or
head of flying operations. Recreational operations are conducted by pilots who hold a pilot certifi-
cate issued by the Australian Balloon Federation Inc.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1067
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

3.1.2 Unless permitted by CASA, pilots of Part 131 aircraft engaged in recreational activities
must not operate:
a. in controlled airspace;
b. below 2000 ft above airport level within 3 NM of a certified airport; or
c. below 1000 ft above ground level over a populous area.
NOTE: Permission to fly in these areas, either for a specified event, or for suitably qualified pilots,
may be sought from CASA. When permissions are issued, they usually contain directions to oper-
ate in the same manner as Part 131 aircraft conducting balloon transport operations.
3.1.3 Pilots engaged in commercial balloon flying training or balloon transport operations may:
a. operate within controlled airspace subject to an ATC clearance;
b. operate from certified airports; and
c. take-off from, and land at, adequate open spaces within populous areas. When doing this,
they must ensure that the Part 131 aircraft reaches the minimum overflight height of 1000 ft
AGL within a reasonable time following take-off, and minimize the time spent flying at low
level while approaching to land in or within 300m of a populous area.
3.1.4 Part 131 aircraft pilots are not required to observe a minimum height while flying over
other than populous areas. However, this does not absolve pilots from any responsibility in
respect of landholders, stock or property. The Australian Ballooning Federation Inc maintains a
register of sensitive areas where landholders have requested that pilots not land, or observe a
minimum overflight height.

3.2 CARRIAGE AND USE OF RADIO


3.2.1 Pilots of Part 131 aircraft operating under an AOC, or a specialized balloon operation if
required by the approval for that operation, are required to carry and use VHF radio for communi-
cation, as necessary, with other aircraft and with ATS. However, the operators are authorized to
maintain their own SARWATCH, and no flight notification is required for flights outside controlled
airspace.
3.2.2 Pilots of Part 131 aircraft who have been permitted to operate in the airspace described in
sub-paras 3.1.2.a. and b. are required to carry and use radio as described in para 3.2.1. Where a
number of Part 131 aircraft are permitted to operate together in the vicinity of a non-controlled
certified airport, one Part 131 aircraft in each group may maintain radio communication for the
group.
3.2.3 Pilots of balloons engaged in Part 131 recreational activities are required to carry radio
and use it in accordance with the procedures described in ATC — COMMUNICATIONS — Radio
Communications System Requirements, while they are operating:
a. within the vicinity of a non-controlled airport where radio carriage and use is required;
b. at or above 5000 ft above mean sea level;
c. within 10 NM of an airport with a published instrument approach procedure; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1068

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

d. at night.
3.2.4 The holder of a private pilot certificate issued by the Australian Ballooning Federation Inc
may have that certificate endorsed to permit radio communication on VHF frequencies only, with-
out being the holder of a flight radio telephone operator license.

3.3 OPERATIONS IN THE VICINITY OF AIRPORTS


3.3.1 Within 3 NM of an airport, the pilot in command of a Part 131 aircraft is required to give
way to other traffic operating in the traffic pattern of the airport which is applicable to the runway in
use at the time.
3.3.2 The pilot in command of a Part 131 aircraft who intends to overfly an airport within 3 NM
should do so at a height greater than 1500 ft above the airport. In the case of a Part 131 recrea-
tional balloon flight which is not specifically permitted by CASA, overflight must be conducted
more than 2000 ft above the airport.
3.3.3 The pilot of a Part 131 aircraft which is taking off within 3 NM of an airport must give way
to aircraft which are landing or on final approach to land, by delaying their take-off or, if airborne,
by climbing or descending to remain clear of the other aircraft’s flight path.

3.4 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

3.6 OPERATIONS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


3.6.1 Prior to a proposed flight in controlled airspace, a Part 131 aircraft operator or pilot in com-
mand must liaise with ATS as follows:
a. contact ATC by telephone or radio prior to inflating the balloon to advise the planned launch
site and likely direction or area of flight, and ascertain the availability of an ATC clearance;
and
b. call to obtain a clearance before becoming airborne.
3.6.2 A Part 131 aircraft pilot must maintain a continuous listening watch on the appropriate fre-
quency during flight within controlled airspace, and report flight progress as required by ATC. For
a balloon, the pilot must report changes in the direction of drift, which will cause the balloon to
diverge from its nominated track or area of operations, as soon as possible, and, in any case,
before the track error exceeds one (1) nautical mile.
3.6.3 For operations in an area of controlled airspace within radar coverage, a serviceable SSR
transponder must be carried unless ATC has advised otherwise.
3.6.4 In the event of a radio failure or other emergency, the relevant procedures as listed else-
where in AIP must be followed. Particular attention should be given to notifying the termination of
a flight where radio contact is not able to confirm this.

4 PARACHUTING OPERATIONS
4.1 GENERAL
4.1.1 For rules relating to parachuting operations refer to the applicable CASA Instrument.

4.2 CONFLICTING TRAFFIC


4.2.1 ATC will provide separation between parachutists and non-parachuting aircraft in Class A,
C and D airspace, and provide traffic information to pilots of aircraft engaged in parachuting oper-
ations on known or observed traffic in Class E and Class G airspace.

4.3 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


4.3.1 ATC base separation on the assumption that the parachutist will be dropped within 1 NM
of the target. If an extension of this area is necessary, the pilot must advise ATC of the direction
and distance required.

4.4 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATIONS ABOVE 10,000 FT


AMSL
4.4.1 Pilots should refer to Division 26.11 of the Part 91 MOS for the requirements relating to
oxygen usage for high altitude flights.

5 AREAS HAVING LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS


5.1 Although not involving a potential hazard to aircraft, operations over certain areas have limi-
tations placed on them for environmental reasons.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

5.2 BASS STRAIT CROSSINGS


5.2.1 Mandatory Routes For Non-scheduled Air Operations
5.2.1.1 For single engine aircraft and multi-engine aircraft which are unable to maintain height
after an engine failure:
a. Flights through King I — Track via Cape Otway, Bold Head and Hunter I. 3000 ft minimum
altitude for continuous VHF communication.
b. Flight through Flinders I — Track via Cliffy I, Hogan I, Deal I; then via Cape Portland or
Waterhouse I. 2000 ft minimum altitude for continuous VHF communications.
NOTE: Refer Climb and Cruise “Flights Over Water”.
5.2.2 Recommended VFR Reporting Procedures Across Bass Strait
5.2.2.1 The following reporting schedule procedures are recommended for Bass Straight cross-
ings:
a. Report position leaving the coast, together with aircraft type, tracking details and persons on
board (POB);
b. Nominate reporting schedule appropriate to the aircraft speed; e.g., 10, 15 or 30 minute
intervals;
c. At each scheduled reporting time, report “OPERATIONS NORMAL” preferably with a posi-
tion;
d. Report when crossing opposite coast to cancel the reporting schedules.
5.2.2.2 As an alternative, pilots may report leaving the coast and nominate a SARTIME for the
expected landfall of the opposite coastline.
NOTE: All reports associated with these procedures for Bass Strait crossings should be made to
Melbourne Centre, as appropriate.
5.2.2.3 Minimum altitude requirements apply to enable continuous two-way VHF communication
across Bass Straight.
5.2.3 Air Traffic Services
5.2.3.1 Air Traffic Services will respond immediately to any emergency call, but in the event of
radio failure or other situation that prevents use of radio, the use of schedule reporting over water
will ensure that SAR action is taken following a missed scheduled report. A scheduled report
ensures quicker response than a nominated SARTIME for which SAR action would be taken at
the expiration of that time, or if incidental information was received indicating an aircraft was in
difficulty.
5.2.3.2 In the unfortunate event of a ditching, particularly in Bass Strait, survivability from hypo-
thermia is reliant on quick recovery from the water. Scheduled reporting will afford a quicker than
normal response when SAR action is required.

7 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND SURVEY OPERATIONS


7.1 Pilots and operators intending to conduct aerial photography or survey operations in control-
led airspace should liaise with the ATC unit responsible for the area(s) concerned prior to submit-
ting flight plans. ATC clearance limitations and restrictions on times, tracks and/or levels, which
could inhibit the proposed operation(s), may apply in the desired airspace. Preflight approval will
enable pilots to plan tasks accordingly, thus minimizing disruption to programs.

8 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS


8.1 Pilots or operators intending to photograph military installations or areas which include mili-
tary installations must contact the appropriate military authority as such photography may require
prior approval or may not be permissible.

9 MILITARY AUTHORITY ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR


SEPARATION OF AIRCRAFT (MARSA)
9.1 MARSA is a procedure which authorizes pilots of military aircraft to assume responsibility for
separation between their aircraft and other nominated military aircraft, or military contract civil air-
craft, in controlled airspace. MARSA can only be used between participating aircraft using the
same flight level or altitude, or maneuvering within the same block of airspace.
9.2 Operators of foreign military aircraft wishing to participate in MARSA must refer to RAAF AIP
— Flight Information Handbook Australia (FIHA) for details of the procedure.

10 “DUE REGARD” OPERATIONS


10.1 Certain operations by State aircraft (usually military), referred to as “Due Regard” opera-
tions, cannot be conducted in compliance with normal air traffic rules and procedures. Where
these operations are necessary, Article 3 of the Chicago Convention (1944) requires contracting
States to “have due regard for the safety of navigation of civil aircraft”. Safety mitigators may
include operations in VMC and/or use of surface and airborne radar.

11 LOW JET ROUTES


11.1 Routes at or below 5000 ft AGL used by military jet aircraft for low level, high speed navi-
gation or terrain following exercises are designated as Low Jet Routes (LJR). Routes are planned
to avoid:
a. controlled airspace administered by Airservices Australia;
b. restricted and danger areas not administered by the Australian Defence Force (ADF);
c. civil airports by at least 5 NM laterally or 4000 ft vertically;
d. airports where carriage and use of radio is required unless equipped with the appropriate
radio frequency; and
e. sensitive areas and oil/gas platforms.
11.2 Notification of routes and duration of LJR operations will be by NOTAM. Information on LJR
activity in your area is available from the pre-flight briefing service and FLIGHTWATCH.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1084
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

11.3 Aircraft using LJR may be camouflaged and emit little or no smoke trail, although they will
normally show anti-collision beacons. They may operate singly or in close or loose formation. Sig-
nificant wake turbulence and a large turn radius may be expected.
11.4 All LJR aircraft are equipped with UHF and some also have VHF and HF. However, they
may often be out of communications (NOCOM) for part of their flight. Although most LJR aircraft
are radar equipped, these radars do not enable avoidance of conflicting aircraft.
11.5 WHERE POSSIBLE, PILOTS SHOULD PLAN THEIR FLIGHTS TO AVOID ACTIVE LJR.
11.6 The following LJR are activated HJ and are flown by F18 aircraft operating at or below
5000 ft AGL:
a. YB(R)-638 – 10 NM SSW Baryulgil below 3000 ft AGL – Gatton (Climb Point) – Amberley.
b. YB(R)-638 – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Gold Coast – Point Lookout (Stradbroke Island) –
Brisbane.
c. Point Lookout – Gold Coast – Coastal below 5000 ft AGL – YB(R)-638.
d. YB(R)-638 – Casino 231025 – Amberley 191043 – Amberley.
e. Sandy Cape – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Double Island Point – Bribie Island – Cape Mor-
eton – Point Lookout.
f. Point Lookout – Cape Moreton – Bribie Island – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Double Island
Point – Sandy Cape.
NOTE: A number of other LJR and Defence activities are in operation at various times in
addition to those shown above and will be advised by NOTAM when necessary.

12 SECURITY AWARENESS
12.1 All members of the aviation industry, including general aviation, charter, crop duster, heli-
copter and local airport operators should be particularly vigilant with regard to any suspicious
activity relating to the use, training in, or acquisition of dangerous chemicals, including threats,
unusual purchases, and/or unusual contacts with the public.
12.2 Any suspicious circumstances or unusual behavior should be immediately reported to the
police and the relevant aircraft, airline, or airport operator.

13 FIRE OPERATIONS
13.1 An aircraft operated by fire authorities which requires priority should notify the flight as Fire
or Flood Relief (FFR) and use the appropriate special task call sign as per ATC — COMMUNICA-
TIONS — Call Signs — Special Task Operations.

14 REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE FLIGHTS (CSF)

15 HELICOPTER OPERATIONS – AT AIRPORTS AND IN


HELICOPTER ACCESS CORRIDORS AND LANES
15.1 GENERAL
15.1.1 The following procedures apply to all helicopters operating in the vicinity of airports and in
helicopter access corridors and lanes, in accordance with the provisions of CASR 91.055, 91.265,
91.267, 91.360 and 91.410.

15.2 TAXIING
15.2.1 For all helicopters, maximum use of the “air transit” procedure should be made to expe-
dite traffic movement and flow about an airport.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1086
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

15.2.2 All helicopters may use “air taxiing” procedures as required. However, wheeled helicop-
ters, where practicable, are encouraged to “ground taxi” on prepared surfaces to minimize rotor
wash and its effects.
15.2.3 At night a helicopter should not taxi via routes which do not meet the physical dimensions
and lighting requirements specified in AC 139.R-01.

15.3 TAKE-OFF / DEPARTURE


15.3.1 Controlled Airfields
15.3.1.1 At locations within controlled airspace, helicopters may be granted a take-off clearance
or instructed to report airborne, as appropriate, from any area nominated by ATC or the pilot, and
assessed by the pilot as being suitable as a HLS.
15.3.1.2 Helicopters taking-off / departing must proceed in accordance with ATC instructions.
15.3.1.3 Subject to clearance, a turn after take-off may be commenced when the pilot considers
that the helicopter is at a safe height to do so.
15.3.1.4 Unless requested by the pilot, a take-off clearance will not be issued for a helicopter if
the tailwind component exceeds 5 kt.
15.3.1.5 Prescribed exit “gates” and associated standard routes and/or altitudes may be provi-
ded to facilitate the flow of helicopter traffic. Use of these “gates” is not mandatory. Helicopters
may, subject to an ATC clearance, revert to the standard traffic procedures applicable to air-
planes. This option may be more appropriate when operating larger helicopters.
15.3.1.6 At night a helicopter should not take-off from other than a site which conforms with the
requirements specified in AC 139.R-01. Any illuminated runway or illuminated taxiway of dimen-
sions commensurate with the size of the HLS applicable to the helicopter, in accordance with AC
139.R-01, is considered to meet the requirements of AC 139.R-01.
15.3.2 Non-Controlled Airports
15.3.2.1 A pilot may take-off from any area which is assessed as being suitable as a HLS.
15.3.2.2 When the pilot elects to conduct the take-off from outside the flight strip of the runway
in use by airplanes, the helicopter take-off path must be outside that flight strip.
15.3.2.3 Before take-off, the helicopter is to be positioned to the appropriate side of the runway
in use so that the turn after take-off does not cross the extended centerline of that runway. The
pre-take-off positioning of the helicopter will be by air transit or by taxiing as appropriate.
15.3.2.4 The turn after take-off onto the desired departure track may be commenced when the
pilot considers that the helicopter is at a safe height to do so. If the resultant departure track con-
flicts with the airplane traffic pattern, the helicopter should remain at 500 ft AGL until clear of that
circuit pattern. Where this procedure is not practicable on environmental grounds, the helicopter is
to adopt the standard departure procedure applicable to airplanes.
15.3.2.5 Pilots of radio equipped helicopters must broadcast intentions on the appropriate fre-
quency before take-off.

15.4 HELICOPTER ACCESS CORRIDORS AND LANES


15.4.1 The following procedures for operations within promulgated helicopter access corridors
and lanes apply:
a. maximum speed — 120 KIAS;
b. helicopters must operate under VFR, usually not below 500 ft AGL by day, subject to flight
over populous area restrictions and any published limitations for authorized corridors by
night;
c. “see and avoid” procedures must to be used;
d. formation flights are restricted to line astern with the lead aircraft responsible for maintaining
separation from other traffic;
e. a traffic advisory service is available in access corridors;
f. an ATS Surveillance System service may be given at designated airports;
g. a continuous listening watch on the appropriate ATS frequency in access corridors or broad-
cast frequency in lanes is mandatory;
h. two way operations are conducted with all traffic keeping to the right of central geographical/
topographical features;
i. the pilot-in-command has the responsibility to ensure that operations are confined within the
boundaries of the corridor or lane;
j. the limits of corridors and lanes must to be adhered to, with any transitional altitude require-
ments maintained within an accuracy of +/-100 ft;
k. a helicopter not confining its operations to an access corridor will require ATC clearance
and, while outside the corridor, will be subject to separation standards as applied by ATC.
NOTE: Subject to environmental noise considerations, the imposition of limitations on those
types of helicopters which exceed the noise limits specified in ICAO Annex 16, Volume I
(not published herein) may be necessary.

15.5 ARRIVALS
15.5.1 Controlled Airports
15.5.1.1 Prescribed entry “gates” and associated standard routes and/or altitudes may be provi-
ded to facilitate the flow of helicopter traffic. Use of these “gates” is not mandatory. Subject to the
receipt of an ATC clearance, helicopters may, if required, conform to the standard traffic proce-
dures applicable to airplanes. This option may be more appropriate when operating larger heli-
copters.
15.5.1.2 At locations within controlled airspace, helicopters may be granted a landing clearance
or be instructed to report on the ground, as appropriate, at any area nominated by ATC or the
pilot, and assessed by the pilot as being suitable as a HLS.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1088
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

15.5.1.3 Unless requested by the pilot, a landing clearance will not be issued for a helicopter if
the tailwind component exceeds 5 kt.
15.5.1.4 At night a helicopter should not land at a site other than one which conforms with the
requirements specified in the latest issue of AC 139.R-01. Any illuminated runway or illuminated
taxiway of dimensions commensurate with the size of the HLS applicable to the helicopter, in
accordance with AC 139.R-01, is considered to meet the requirements of AC 139.R-01.
15.5.2 Non-Controlled Airports
15.5.2.1 In VMC by day applicable to the aircraft category, helicopters need not join the circuit
via standard airplane entry procedures, at the pilot’s discretion.
15.5.2.2 As an alternative, under such conditions, helicopters may join the circuit area at 500 ft
AGL from any direction, subject to the normal restrictions of flight over populous areas.
15.5.2.3 Helicopters must avoid other circuit traffic and descend to land at any location
assessed by the pilot as being suitable for use as a HLS, provided:
a. the intended landing point is located outside the flight strip of the runway in use;
b. the final approach is clear of the extended centerline of the runway in use;
c. post-landing positioning of the helicopter is by air transit or by taxiing, as appropriate.
15.5.3 Pilots of radio-equipped helicopters must broadcast intentions on the appropriate fre-
quency as specified in ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES —
Radio Telephony Requirements Outside Controlled Airspace.

15.6 CIRCUIT PROCEDURES


15.6.1 Controlled Airports
15.6.1.1 Any specific operating procedures for helicopter traffic patterns will be detailed in the
Airport Directory when specified. The following generally applies:
a. where possible, helicopter circuit traffic will be separated from the airplane traffic pattern by
the use of contra-direction circuits, outside of and parallel to the flight strip of the runway in
use, and at a lower altitude than other traffic, but not below 500 ft above the airport elevation;
or
b. when separate circuit patterns are not practicable, helicopters may utilize the same traffic
pattern direction as other traffic, and will normally operate inside and at a lower altitude than
that traffic, but not below 500 ft above the airport elevation.
15.6.2 Non-Controlled Airports
15.6.2.1 The following circuit operating procedures apply:
a. Helicopters may be operated on contra-direction circuits and parallel to the airplane traffic
pattern at a lower altitude than that traffic, but not below 500 ft above the airport elevation.
The landing site associated with the helicopter circuit is to be positioned outside the flight

strip of the runway in use so that helicopter circuit traffic does not cross the extended center-
line of that runway;
b. if the procedure outlined in a. above is not practicable, the helicopter circuit patterns should
be flown inside and parallel to the airplane traffic and at lower altitudes, but not below 500 ft
above the airport elevation. The landing site associated with the helicopter circuit is to be
positioned outside the flight strip of the runway in use so that helicopter circuit traffic does
not cross the extended centerline of that runway; or
c. the helicopter is to follow the standard airplane traffic pattern and, in this case, may use the
flight strip area of the runway in use;
d. the pilots of radio equipped helicopters must broadcast their intentions and listen out for
other traffic on the appropriate frequency.

16 UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) TESTING


16.1 INTRODUCTION
16.1.1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle operations including testing and development take place in var-
ious Danger Areas and military Restricted Areas.
16.1.2 Temporary Danger Areas may be promulgated for other UAV operations if CASA consid-
ers there is a risk to other flights such that pilots need to be warned of the danger in order to take
appropriate precautions.

16.2 UAV OPERATIONS


16.2.1 UAVs may be flown autonomously within the designated areas, but are subject to opera-
tor input. The operator will maintain continuous two-way communications on the appropriate aero-
nautical frequencies, make regular broadcasts advising location, altitude and intention of the UAV
and will respond to calls.
16.2.2 Pilots wishing to operate within a Danger Area designated for UAV activity are advised to
contact the UAV ground station on the appropriate FIA/CTAF e.g. "UAV TRAFFIC - [location]
AREA THIS IS ....". While no response from the ground station would normally mean that no UAV
is airborne, pilots are encouraged to maintain an enhanced lookout.

CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

1 SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES IN


OCEANIC AIRSPACE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures in paras 1.2, 1.3
and 1.4 provide for the more frequent cases such as:
a. the inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions (para 1.4
refers);
b. enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow (for example, due to medical emergencies
(paras 1.2 and 1.3 refer)); and
c. the loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in an
airspace where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct of
flight operations, or pressurization failure (paras 1.2 and 1.3 refer).
1.1.2 The pilot must take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft, and the pilot’s
judgement must determine the sequence of actions to be taken, having regard to the prevailing
circumstances. ATC will render all possible assistance.

1.2 GENERAL PROCEDURES


1.2.1 If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a
revised clearance must be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
1.2.2 If prior clearance cannot be obtained, the following contingency procedures should be
employed until a revised clearance is received. In general terms, the aircraft should be flown at an
offset level and on an offset track where other aircraft are less likely to be encountered. Specifi-
cally, the pilot should:
a. leave the cleared track or ATS route by initially turning at least 30 degrees to the right or to
the left, in order to establish and maintain a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset
by 5 NM. The direction of the turn should be based on one or more of the following factors:
1. Aircraft position relative to any organized track or ATS route system;
2. The direction of flights and flight levels allocated on adjacent tracks;
3. The direction to an alternate airport;
4. Any strategic lateral offset being flown; and
5. Terrain clearance;
b. maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped),
leaving ACAS in RA mode at all times, unless aircraft operating limitations dictate otherwise;
c. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
d. keep the SSR transponder on at all times and, when able, squawk 7700 as appropriate and,
if equipped with ADS-B or ADS-C, select the appropriate emergency functionality;
e. as soon as practicable, advise ATC of any deviation from their assigned clearance;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1091
AUSTRALIA
CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

f. use means as appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a contingency
or emergency;
NOTE 1: When emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may
respond via CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with
the aircraft.
NOTE 2: Guidance on emergency procedures for controllers, radio operators, and flight crew
in data link operations can be found in the Global Operational Data Link (GOLD) Manual
(Doc 10037) (not published herein).
g. if voice communication is used, use the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency
signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, as appropriate; and
h. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting at suitable intervals
on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air fre-
quency 123.45 MHz):
1. aircraft identification;
2. flight level;
3. position including the ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate;
4. the nature of the distress condition; and
5. intentions.
NOTE: ATC will attempt to determine the nature of the emergency and ascertain any assistance
that may be required. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft will be based on the
intentions of the pilot and overall traffic situation.

1.3 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN ONCE OFFSET FROM TRACK


NOTE: The pilot’s judgement of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of the aircraft will
determine the actions outlined to be taken. Factors for the pilot to consider when deviating from
the cleared track or ATS route or level without an ATC clearance include, but are not limited to:
a. operation within a parallel track system;
b. the potential for User Preferred Routes (UPR) parallel to the aircraft’s track or ATS route;
c. the nature of the contingency (e.g. aircraft system malfunction); and
d. weather factors (e.g. convective weather at lower flight levels).
1.3.1 If possible, maintain the assigned flight level until established on the 5 NM parallel, same
direction track or ATS route offset. If unable, initially minimize the rate of descent to the extent
that is operationally feasible.
1.3.2 Once established on a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset by 5 NM, either:
a. descend below FL290, and establish a 500 FT vertical offset from those flight levels normally
used, and proceed as required by the operational situation or if an ATC clearance has been
obtained, in accordance with the clearance; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1092
AUSTRALIA
CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

NOTE 1: Flight levels normally used are those contained in ATC — CLIMB AND CRUISE —
Tables of Cruising Levels.
NOTE 2: Descent below FL290 is considered particularly applicable to operations where
there is a predominant traffic flow (e.g. east-west) or parallel track system where the air-
craft’s diversion path will likely cross adjacent tracks or ATS routes. A descent below FL290
can decrease the likelihood of conflict with other aircraft, ACAS RA events and delays in
obtaining a revised ATC clearance.
b. establish a 500 FT vertical offset (or 1000 FT vertical offset if above FL410) from those flight
levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation, or if an ATC
clearance has been obtained, in accordance with the clearance.
NOTE: Altimetry System Errors (ASE) may result in less than 500 FT vertical spacing (less
than 1000 FT above FL410) when the above contingency procedure is applied.

1.4 WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES


1.4.1 General
1.4.1.1 When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC
via voice or CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
b. requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.
1.4.1.2 When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call
“PAN PAN” (preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDLC urgency downlink message.
1.4.1.3 The pilot must inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a
weather deviation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
1.4.2 Actions to be Taken When Controller-pilot Communications are
Established
1.4.2.1 The pilot should notify ATC and request clearance to deviate from track or ATS route,
advising, when possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever
means are appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a weather deviation.
NOTE: Pilots are advised to contact ATC as soon as possible with requests for clearance in order
to provide adequate time for the request to be assessed and acted upon.
1.4.2.2 After communicating with ATC, the pilot:
a. must comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
b. when ATC are unable to issue a clearance for the requested deviation, should advise ATC of
intentions and execute the procedures detailed in the following para 1.4.3.1.

1.4.3 Actions to be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot be Obtained


If the aircraft is required to deviate from track or ATS route to avoid adverse meteorological condi-
tions and prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance must be obtained at the earliest
possible time. Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot should take the following actions:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or ATS route system;
b. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals
on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, on the inter-pilot air-to-air fre-
quency 123.45 MHz):
1. aircraft identification;
2. flight level;
3. position including ATS route designator or the track code; and
4. intentions.
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
d. Turn on all exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. For deviations of less than 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route, remain at a
level assigned by ATC;
f. For deviations greater than or equal to 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route,
when the aircraft is approximately 5 NM from track, initiate a level change in accordance with
the following table:

Originally Cleared Track or ATS


Deviations >5 NM Level Change
Route Centerline
EAST LEFT DESCEND 300 ft
(000° – 179° Magnetic) RIGHT CLIMB 300 ft
WEST LEFT CLIMB 300 ft
(180° – 359° magnetic) RIGHT DESCEND 300 ft

g. If the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or ATS route for a specified dis-
tance and, subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that dis-
tance, the pilot should apply an altitude offset in accordance with the table above before
deviating beyond the cleared distance;
h. When returning to track or ATS route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 5 NM of the centerline; and
i. If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain traffic information.

CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions of this paragraph, the pilot determines
that there is another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then
the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

1 ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS


1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an independent Commonwealth Gov-
ernment statutory agency. The Bureau is managed by a Commission and is entirely separate
from transport regulators, policy makers and service providers. The ATSB is established by the
Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 (TSI Act) and conducts its investigations in accordance
with the provisions of the Act. The TSI Act provides guidance for the investigation of all civil avia-
tion occurrences within Australian Territory and for all occurrences involving civil registered Aus-
tralian aircraft outside Australian Territory.
1.1.2 The fundamental objective of air safety investigations is the prevention of accidents and
incidents. The ATSB’s investigations are independent and do not assign blame. The aim of the
investigations is to determine all the factors involved and to use this information as the basis for
enhancing safety in aviation.
1.1.3 The results of an investigation are required to be made known through a report which may
constitute:
a. a formal report,
b. safety action statements, or
c. safety recommendations.
Publication of the report may occur on the ATSB website (www.atsb.gov.au) and in ATSB publi-
cations.
1.1.4 Contact details for the ATSB are:

1.2 IMMEDIATELY AND ROUTINE REPORTABLE MATTERS


Section 13 of the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003 (TSI Regulations) contains a
list of ‘responsible persons’ for reporting aviation occurrences to the ATSB. A “responsible
person” is listed as:
a. a crew member of the aircraft concerned;
b. the owner of operator of the aircraft;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1098
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC INCIDENTS

c. a person performing an air traffic control service in relation to the aircraft;


d. a person performing a dedicated aerodrome rescue or firefighting service in relation to the
aircraft;
e. a person who:
1. is licensed as an aircraft maintenance engineer under the Civil Aviation Regulations
1988 or the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998, and
2. does any work in relation to the aircraft;
f. a member of the ground handling crew in relation to the aircraft;
g. a member of the staff of the CASA; and
h. the operator of an aerodrome.
1.2.2 A responsible person is not required to report if they have reasonable grounds to believe
another responsible person has reported the occurrence.
1.2.3 The occurrences which a “responsible person” is required to report are listed as either
Immediately Reportable Matters (IRM) or Routine Reportable Matters (RRM). IRM must be
reported as soon as reasonable practicable by telephone 1800 011 034, and then a follow-up writ-
ten report must be made within 72 hours. RRM require only a written report within 72 hours.
1.2.4 Listed below are the IRM and RRM that must be reported by:
a. all aircraft operations;
b. air transport operations, (including type 1 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operations);
c. type 2 RPA operations; and
d. aircraft operations other than air transport operations.
NOTE: An “air transport operation” is a regular public transport operation or a charter operations.
The TSI Regulations contain a more comprehensive definition for the term as well as definitions
for other terms used in the list of reportable matters below. Refer to the ATSB website
(www.atsb.gov.au) for a complete copy of the TSI Act, TSI Regulations and explanatory
material.
RPA are defined in the TSI Regulations as a “type 1 RPA” or “type 2 RPA” and are generally dis-
tinguished on the basis of size. A type 1 RPA includes a large or medium RPA within the meaning
of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) or a RPA with type certification. A type 2
RPA includes those RPA that are not a type 1 or an excluded or micro RPA within the meaning of
the CASR. A comprehensive definition of these types is included in Section 6 of the TSI Regula-
tions.
A “crew member” in relation to a RPA includes a remote pilot of the RPA.

6 INVESTIGATION
The transport safety investigator of an IRM or an RRM has the capacity to obtain such information
as is necessary to conduct the investigation through the powers delegated to the investigator
under Part 5 of the TSI Act. However, the investigator will always seek, where possible, to obtain
information in cooperation with an owner or occupier. Copies of flight plans, logs and briefing
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1106
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC INCIDENTS

documents should be retained by the pilot for 14 days after a flight in case they may be required
by the investigator.
6.2 Section 24 of the TSI Act makes a person guilty of an offence for reckless conduct that
adversely affects an investigation. For an IRM, this may be conduct that occurs before the investi-
gation is commenced. The offence does not apply if the conduct is authorised by the Executive
Director of the ATSB or a delegate, or if the conduct was necessary to:
a. ensure the safety of persons, animals or property; or
b. remove deceased persons or animals from an accident site; or
c. move or transport vehicle, or the wreckage of a transport vehicle, to a safe place; or
d. protect the environment from significant damage or pollution.
Under Section 43 of the TSI Act, for the purpose of protecting evidence that might be relevant to
an investigation, the Chief Commissioner of the ATSB may impose a ‘Protection Order’ directing
that specified things must not be removed or interfered with except with permission, for example,
aircraft wreckage, maintenance records or cockpit voice recorders. Where such evidence is under
a ‘Protection Order’, the removal or interference with that evidence is an offense. However, the
same exceptions listed above for Section 24 apply to ‘Protection Orders’.

The 25 NM and 10 NM MSA provide 1000 ft obstacle clearance. An aircraft within the applicable
25 NM Sector MSA or 10 NM MSA of the nominated significant point, the ARP or the HRP may
use the applicable MSA, and deviation from the track being flown is permitted to facilitate entry to
the instrument approach. In instances where the 25 NM MSA has been divided into sectors, and
the appropriate 25 NM Sector MSA is lower than the 10 NM MSA (as a result of the 10 NM MSA
not being sectorized), then the 25 NM Sector MSA may be used for tracking to the nominated sig-
nificant point, ARP or HRP provided aircraft tracking can be maintained within the sector.
Procedure Entry
Having arrived over the IAF or facility, and except as provided for below, further descent shall be
made in accordance with the entry and holding procedures to the specified altitude for commenc-
ing the approach and subsequently in accordance with the approved instrument approach proce-
dure.
An aircraft which is not required to hold or to lose height in a holding pattern may commence the
approach without entering the holding pattern if:
a. in controlled airspace, ATC has cleared the aircraft to do so; and
b. in any airspace, for procedures using radio navaids:
1. the reversal procedure entry requirements are satisfied; or
2. the DME arc entry requirements are satisfied; or
3. the enroute track to the procedure’s commencement fix or facility is within 30 degrees
either side of the first track of the procedure; or
c. for procedures using GNSS:
1. in any airspace, the aircraft is tracking to an initial approach way-point from within the
capture region for that way-point; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1109
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

NOTE: The first track of a GNSS procedure must be joined using the tracking guidance
provided by the GPS receiver.
2. in controlled airspace, the aircraft is being vectored to intercept the initial approach seg-
ment or is tracking direct to the intermediate fix.
NOTE: “direct to” clearances may be requested to the intermediate fix (IF) provided that
the resultant track change at the IF does not exceed 45°.
Visual Approach Requirements for IFR Flights
A pilot conducting a visual approach in controlled airspace may be assigned the responsibility to
follow another arriving aircraft which they have reported sighting. When assigned this responsibil-
ity, the pilot must maintain separation from and not overtake that aircraft. In this circumstance, the
pilot is also responsible for providing their own wake turbulence separation. If sighting is subse-
quently lost, advise ATC immediately.
A pilot in command operating under the IFR in controlled airspace must be satisfied that the visual
approach requirements listed below can be met before requesting a visual approach from ATC.
The pilot must report ‘VISUAL’ to signify that these requirements can be met and maintained as
part of any request to ATC for a visual approach.
A pilot who is unable to continue a visual approach which has been authorized by ATC must
immediately advise ATC.
When conducting a visual approach in controlled airspace, a pilot in command must not climb
above an altitude reported to ATC as having been reached or left, unless authorized to do so.
Subject to the requirements for Visual Circling, Visual Segments and Missed Approach Proce-
dures, the pilot need not commence or may discontinue the approved instrument approach proce-
dure to an airport when:
a. By Day — Within 30 NM of the airport at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route
segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GNSS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the
procedure being flown and the aircraft is established:
1. clear of cloud;
2. in sight of ground or water;
3. with a flight visibility not less than 5,000m or, in the case of a helicopter, is able to pro-
ceed under helicopter VMC, or the airport is in sight; and
4. subsequently can maintain (1), (2) and (3) at an altitude not less than
(a) if in controlled airspace — 500 ft above the lower limit of the CTA unless a clear-
ance is received from ATC to depart and re-enter controlled airspace during the
descent; and
(b) the minimum height prescribed by CASR 91.265 or 91.267 as relevant to the loca-
tion of the aircraft.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. By Night — At an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate
step of the DME or GNSS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the procedure being flown, the
aircraft is established:
1. clear of cloud;
2. in sight of ground or water;
3. with a flight visibility not less than 5000m; and
4. subsequently can maintain (1), (2) and (3) at an altitude not less than:
(a) in controlled airspace — 500 ft above the lower limit of the CTA unless a clearance
is received from ATC to depart and re-enter controlled airspace during descent;
and
(b) one of the following:
– route segment LSALT/MSA; or
– the appropriate step of the DME/GNSS Arrival procedure, or
– if being vectored — the last assigned altitude.
until the aircraft is:
– for an airport with an authorized instrument approach procedure that the flight
crew members of the aircraft are capable of using — within the prescribed cir-
cling area for the category of aircraft or a higher category, where the limitations
of the higher category are complied with, or VAA-H, as applicable and the air-
port is in sight; or
– for an airport without an authorized instrument approach procedure that the
flight crew members of the aircraft are capable of using — within 3 NM of the
airport reference point, and the airport is in sight; or
– within 5 NM (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS/ GLS) of the airport,
aligned with the runway centerline and established not below “on slope” on the
T-VASIS or PAPI; or
– within 10 NM (14 NM for Runways 16L and 34L at Sydney) of the airport, estab-
lished not below the ILS/GLS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflec-
tion.
NOTE: Reference to circling area in this section includes the circling area for the category of
aircraft or a higher category where the limitations of the higher category are complied with.
c. If in controlled airspace:
1. a clearance is received from ATC to conduct a visual approach; and
2. when tracking via a STAR and subsequently cleared for visual approach, the pilot con-
tinues to follow the lateral profile of the STAR, including any visual or instrument termi-
nation route; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1111

RULES AND PROCEDURES

3. except when on a STAR, the pilot maintains track/heading on the route progressively
authorized by ATC until:
(a) by day, within 5 NM of the airport; or
(b) by night, the airport is in sight and the aircraft is within:
– the prescribed circling area for an IFR flight; or
– 3 NM of the airport reference point for a VFR flight; and
NOTE: ATC will provide directions to the aircraft regarding how to join the circuit for the nom-
inated runway from these positions.
Visual Circling or During Non-precision Approach (NPA)
During visual circling or during a NPA, descent below MDA may only occur when the pilot:
a. maintains the aircraft within the circling area; and
b. maintains a visibility, along the intended flight path, not less than the minimum specified on
the chart for the procedure;
c. maintains visual contact with the landing runway environment (i.e. the runway threshold or
approach lighting or other markings identifiable with the runway); and either
d. by night or day, while complying with a., b. and c. and from a position within the circling area
on the downwind, base or final leg of the landing traffic pattern at an altitude not less than
the MDA, can complete a continuous descent to the landing threshold using rates of descent
and flight maneuvers which are normal for the aircraft type and, during this descent, main-
tains an obstacle clearance along the flight path not less than the minimum for the aircraft
performance category until the aircraft is aligned with the landing runway; or
e. in daylight only, while complying with a., b. and c., maintains visual contact with obstacles
along the intended flight path and an obstacle clearance not less than the minimum for the
aircraft performance category until the aircraft is aligned with the landing runway.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

Go Around And Missed Approach Procedure in VMC


Except as specified in ERSA (not published herein) for specific locations, an aircraft that is
required to go around from a visual approach in VMC, the aircraft must initially climb on runway
track, remain visual and await instructions from ATC. If the aircraft can not clear obstacles on
runway track, the aircraft may turn.
In the event that an aircraft is unable, or does not wish, to land from an instrument approach in
VMC, the aircraft must carry out the published instrument missed approach procedure for the
instrument approach being flown, unless ATC directs otherwise.
At Class D airports with parallel runways where contra-rotating circuit operations are in progress,
if ATC instructs, or a pilot initiates a go around, the pilot must:
a. commence climb to circuit altitude;
b. position the aircraft on the active side and parallel to the nominated duty runway, while main-
taining separation from other aircraft; and
c. follow ATC instructions or re-enter the circuit from upwind.
Aircraft Speed
On procedures designed to the new ICAO PANS-OPS, handling speeds are based on aircraft cat-
egory.
On reversal procedures for which a FAF is not published, final approach speed should be
obtained before descending on the inbound track.
Speed reduction below the initial segment speed range is permitted to enable the final approach
speed to be achieved prior to the commencement of the final segment.

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


On procedures designed to the new PANS-OPS criteria Australia publishes Decision Altitude
(DA), Height Above Threshold (HAT) and visibility for precision approaches; Minimum Descent
Altitude (MDA), Height Above Airport (HAA) and visibility are published for non-precision
approaches. Unless otherwise noted on the approach chart, MDA and DA equals the OCA.
Minimum Altitudes and visibility are published for landing on procedures designed to the earlier
PANS-OPS criteria.
Ceiling and visibility, or, for multi-engine aircraft meeting certain criteria, visibility only are pub-
lished for take-off. Ceiling and visibility are published for alternate.
The landing, circling, and alternate minima for many Australian instrument approach and DME or
GPS arrival procedures were calculated using forecast airport QNH. These minima may be
reduced by 100 ft whenever actual airport QNH is obtained. Jeppesen portrays the minima for
both forecast QNH and actual QNH. Approved sources of actual QNH are ATC, ATIS, AWIS and
CASA-approved meteorological observers. An actual airport QNH obtained from an approved
source is valid for a period of 15 minutes from the time of receipt.
NOTE: METAR QNH does not meet the above requirement for actual QNH.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1113
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Where the forecast area QNH is used, the minima used must be increased by 50 ft.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.
Airport Operating Minima (AOM)
Operators must establish AOM for each airport to be used for operations. After consideration of
the factors listed below, operators may determine that their AOM should be higher than the pub-
lished landing minima:
a. The type, performance and handling characteristics of the airplane.
b. The composition, experience and competence of the flight crew.
c. The means used to determine and report meteorological conditions.
Runway Visual Range (RVR) — The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the center line of
a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying
its center line. (ICAO)
NOTE: Within Australia, the term “RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE” or “RVR” is used exclusively in
relation to RVR measured by an instrumented system.
In Australia, Runway Visual Range (RVR) observations are based solely on the information provi-
ded by electronic systems such as transmissometers. RVR observations representative of the
touchdown, midpoint and roll out/stop end zones are automatically displayed in the local ATC unit.
At locations where RVR information is accessible to the Bureau of Meteorology, the RVR is inclu-
ded in METAR and SPECI reports.
Runway Visibility (RV) — The distance along a runway over which a person can see and recog-
nize a visibility marker or runway lights.
At places not equipped with RVR sensors or where one or more RVR sensors are unserviceable,
a Runway Visibility (RV) assessment may be provided instead. An RV assessment is a report on
the visibility in the touchdown and midpoint zones of a runway, and is assessed by a ground
observer counting visible runway lights or visibility markers.
An RV assessment is NOT a substitute for a required RVR observation and CANNOT be used:
a. for SA CAT I, SA CAT II, CAT II & CAT III precision approaches, or
b. for CAT I approaches when the visibility is less than 800m, or
c. for low visibility take-offs where the visibility is less than 350m.
An RV assessment is a subset of a general visibility observation and is intended to provide visibil-
ity information specific to a particular runway; which may be more useful to a pilot than the overall
ground visibility. Pilots will be notified by ATIS broadcast or directed transmission if RVR/RV is not
available when visibility is less than 800m.

PILOT ACTIVATED LIGHTING (PAL)


PAL installations provide a means to activate airport, runway, taxiway, apron, VASIS and wind
indicator lighting. Airport lighting enabled by a PAL system is available only during night hours or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1114
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

at other times of low natural light levels. By day, when the light intensity is above a pre-set level,
the system will not activate the lights. However, where an airport is equipped with a VASIS, acti-
vation of the PAL during daylight hours will activate the VASIS only.
It is recommended that pilots activate the lighting before taxi or within 15 NM of the airport. The
lights will illuminate for a minimum of 30 minutes, depending on the installation timer setting. The
wind indicator light will flash continuously during the last 10 minutes of lighting illumination to warn
users that the lights are about to extinguish. To maintain continuity of lighting, repeat the activa-
tion sequence.
PAL systems may provide an audio acknowledgment (PAL+AA) of lighting operation. For systems
with an audio acknowledgment capability the expected responses on the PAL frequency are:
“[aerodrome name] AERODROME LIGHTING ON”
“[aerodrome name] LIGHTS 10 MINUTES REMAINING”
“[aerodrome name] AERODROME LIGHTING NOT ACTIVATED”
At airports with AFRU, PAL operation may be provided as an optional function of an AFRU (on
the associated airport CTAF) and is referred to as AFRU+PAL. Expected responses on the CTAF
are:
“[aerodrome name, CTAF message] RUNWAY LIGHTS ON”
“[aerodrome name, CTAF message] NO RUNWAY LIGHTS”

Application
Noise Abatement procedures shall normally apply to all jet propelled aircraft and other aircraft
having a MTOW exceeding 5700kg (12,566 lbs).
Where noise abatement procedures are prescribed, and ATC traffic management permits, Noise
Abatement Procedures runway nomination provisions will be applied. Not withstanding this, noise
abatement will not be a determining factor in runway selection under the following circumstances
(unless required by Noise Abatement legislation):
a. In conditions of low clouds, thunderstorms and/or poor visibility;
b. For runway conditions that are completely dry:
1. when the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 20 kt;
2. when the tailwind component, including gusts, exceeds 5 kt;
c. For runway conditions that are not completely dry:
1. when the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 20 kt;
2. when there is a tailwind component;
d. When wind shear has been reported;
e. When, in the opinion of the pilot-in-command, safety would be prejudiced by runway condi-
tions or any other operational consideration.
Noise abatement departure procedures will be developed by the operator for each aircraft type in
accordance with the requirements of ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services– Aircraft Oper-
ations (PANS-OPS) Vol. I, Part V, Chapter 3 and are subject to approval by the Civil Aviation
Safety Authority.

DME/GNSS ARRIVAL PROCEDURES


General
The DME or GNSS Arrival procedure is an instrument approach procedure that provides descent
guidance along a specified track or sector, to the visual circling area of an airport. Azimuth guid-
ance is required from the specified radio navigation aid. The requirements for Circling Approaches
and Visual Circling, Missed Approach and Visual Segments (located in TERMINAL — INSTRU-
MENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES).
Descent is not permitted until the aircraft is established within the appropriate sector or on the
specified inbound track.
If maneuvering within a sector is required, the pilot must ensure that the aircraft is contained
within the sector, at or above the appropriate segment minimum safe altitude. Maneuvering within
a sector after passing the final approach fix is prohibited.
Operations in Controlled Airspace
The clearance “CLEARED DME (or GNSS) ARRIVAL” constitutes a clearance for final approach
and authorizes an aircraft to descend to the minimum altitude specified in the appropriate DME or
GNSS arrival procedure. ATC is not permitted to impose any altitude restriction on such a clear-
ance.
When cleared for a DME or GNSS arrival in controlled airspace an aircraft must not orbit, enter a
holding pattern, or use holding pattern entry procedures. ATC will not issue a clearance for a
DME or GNSS arrival that involves the use of a holding pattern entry procedure.
When ATC cannot issue a clearance for an unrestricted DME or GNSS arrival, the phrase
“DESCEND TO (level) NOT BELOW DME (or GNSS) STEPS” may be used. Such an instruction
authorizes descent in accordance with the DME or GNSS steps ONLY to the specified altitude.
ATC may clear an aircraft to intercept the final approach segment of another instrument approach
procedure. When clearing an aircraft for such a procedure, ATC will use the phrase “DESCEND
TO (level) NOT BELOW DME (or GNSS) STEPS” and will issue further instructions prior to the
aircraft’s reaching the cleared level.
Nothing in these procedures absolves the pilot-in-command from their responsibilities to maintain
the aircraft on the authorized track or within the defined sector.
NOTE 1: Where the track being flown is not aligned with the landing runway, a clearance for a
DME or GPS arrival includes a clearance to maneuver within the circling area to position the air-
craft on final for landing.
NOTE 2: Where possible, DME and GPS arrival procedures are designed to contain the aircraft
within controlled airspace and provide 500 ft separation from the CTA lower limit. However, there
are locations where the procedure commences in Class G airspace, or which can take aircraft into
Class G airspace on descent. Pilots should check procedures to ensure that aircraft are contained
in CTA where required.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1117
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)


General
The pilot must advise ATC if cleared via a STAR which requires the use of navigation aids not
available to the aircraft.
When a STAR includes more than one instrument termination procedure, pilots must plan to fly
the procedure listed first on the chart, for that runway. If the listed termination procedure is not
available, e.g. the ILS is not available, pilots must plan for the next listed procedure.
An operational requirement or pilot request for an alternative instrument termination procedure
should be made prior to the STAR being issued.
Unless the pilot requests an alternative approach, flights that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of
the flight notification form will normally be issued a STAR with an RNP AR termination (where
published) or an expectation of an RNP AR approach.
NOTE: At some locations traffic complexity may prevent allocation.
When a clearance for the termination procedure is authorized e.g. visual approach, the published
STAR speed restrictions still apply unless specifically cancelled.
STAR Procedures
Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile
of the STAR and comply with any published speed restrictions.
The use of a STAR designator without a cleared level does not authorize the pilot to descend on
the STAR vertical profile.
A level restriction depicted on a STAR chart does not authorize a pilot to descend to meet that
restriction. ATC will assign descent to permit compliance with vertical navigation restrictions.
Pilots must inform ATC if a level restriction cannot be met.
ATC level change instructions to aircraft on a STAR will indicate if published level and/or speed
restrictions are to be followed or are cancelled.
Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the STAR chart.
Cancellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instruction’ cancels any speed control instructions
issued by ATC. Airspace speed limitation must be complied with unless specifically cancelled.
When an arriving aircraft is cleared to proceed direct to a published waypoint on the STAR, the
speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled. The pilot must
comply with any published STAR speed and level restrictions at and after the waypoint where the
STAR is rejoined. An aircraft cleared to bypass one or more waypoints on a STAR will not receive
a specific instruction to rejoin the STAR.
When an arriving aircraft is vectored or cleared to proceed away from the STAR, all the published
speed and level restriction of the STAR are cancelled. ATC will notify the pilot if there is an
expectation the aircraft will subsequently rejoin the STAR.
NOTE: Unless specifically cancelled by ATC, any ATC traffic management speed specified will
apply to aircraft when vectored or cleared away from a STAR.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1118
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

ATC instructions to rejoin a STAR will specify any transition restrictions that must be complied
with up to, but not including the waypoint where the STAR is rejoined. The pilot must comply with
any published STAR speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the STAR is
rejoined.
Following holding, pilots can expect to continue the previously issued STAR. ATC will indicate if
published level and/or speed restrictions are to be followed or are cancelled.
Where a STAR incorporates circuit legs to a runway, pilots of aircraft not equipped with a flight
management system may accept the STAR clearance and request vectors when contacting
Approach Control.

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES


General
The pilot must advise ATC if cleared via a SID which requires the use of navigation aids not avail-
able to the aircraft.
SID procedures assume that pilots will not compensate for wind effects when being radar vec-
tored, but will compensate for known or estimated wind effects when flying departure routes which
are expressed as tracks.
SID procedures may be flown by aircraft already airborne provided that, before commencing a
SID, the pilot visually positions the aircraft over the runway centre line so that all tacking and alti-
tude restrictions can be met.
Each SID procedure specifies the minimum design climb gradient that ensures obstacle clear-
ance. Where the initial required climb gradient exceeds 3.3%, the altitude at which a 3.3% climb
gradient may be flown is also shown. A gradient shown in brackets specifies the climb gradient
required to remain inside controlled airspace.
For aircraft on a radar SID, ATC will assign a departure heading (or track – see the following
paragraph) to be flown after the initial take-off phase. The pilot is not to commence the take-off
without having obtained the assigned departure heading or track and should advise ATC if the
heading or track is unacceptable.
Instead of assigning a departure heading, ATC may instruct an aircraft to track the extended
runway centerline for departure – if the first and only track on a radar SID is aligned with the
runway bearing.
The climb gradient shown on a radar SID chart provides obstacle clearance up to the MSA/
LSALT. If a SID chart has multiple climb gradient sectors, ATC will not issue heading instructions
to an airborne aircraft that would require the pilot to adopt a higher climb gradient than the gradi-
ent specified for the initial departure heading.
When the aircraft is above the MVA, any subsequent changes of headings are ATC vectors and
ATC will issue instructions that ensure prescribed obstacle clearance will exist at all times.
The climb gradient requirements of a Radar SID cease when the aircraft reaches the MSA/LSALT
as applicable.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1119
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

SID Procedures
Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile
of the SID and comply with any published speed restrictions.
The use of a SID designator without a cleared level does not authorize the pilot to climb on the
SID vertical profile.
A level restriction depicted on a SID chart does not authorize a pilot to climb to meet that restric-
tion. ATC will assign climb to permit compliance with vertical navigation restrictions. Pilots must
inform ATC if a level restriction cannot be met.
ATC level change instructions to aircraft on a SID will indicate if published level and/or speed
restrictions are to be followed or are cancelled.
When conducting a SID, the priority is to meet the vertical navigation restrictions of the SID. When
speed restrictions do not enable the aircraft to meet a SID level restriction, the pilot must advise
ATC of any speed deviation requirement at ACD stage or as soon as the situation is identified.
Pilots must advise ATC when able to resume the SID speed restrictions.
For ATC traffic management: unless varied by ATC, DAP or ERSA, at or before 3000 ft AGL or at
the completion of a noise abatement procedure, jet aircraft departing Class C airports must:
a. commence acceleration to 250 kt IAS; and
b. maintain 250 kt until leaving 10,000 ft AMSL.
The pilot must advise ATC, preferably at ACD stage, if the aircraft will be unable to comply.
Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the SID chart. Can-
cellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instructions’ cancels any speed control instructions issued
by ATC. Airspace speed limitations must be complied with unless specifically cancelled.
When a departing aircraft is cleared to proceed direct to a published waypoint on the SID, the
speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled. The pilot must
comply with any published SID speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the
SID is rejoined. An aircraft cleared to bypass one or more waypoints on a SID will not receive a
specific instruction to rejoin the SID.
When a departing aircraft is vectored or cleared to proceed away from the SID, all the published
speed and level restrictions of the SID are cancelled. ATC will notify the pilot if there is an expect-
ation the aircraft will subsequently rejoin the SID.
NOTE: Unless specifically cancelled by ATC, any ATC traffic management speed specified will
apply to aircraft when vectored or cleared away from a SID.
ATC instructions to rejoin a SID will specify any transition restrictions that must be complied with
up to, but not including the waypoint where the SID is rejoined. The pilot must comply with any
published SID speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the SID is rejoined.
In a surveillance environment prior to take-off, ATC may cancel a procedural SID and:
a. issue a radar SID; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1120
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. require the aircraft to depart on runway track using the climb gradient specified in the cancel-
led SID. In this case, ATC will use the phrase “CANCEL SID, TRACK EXTENDED CENTER-
LINE (three digits) DEGREES”.
NOTE: For the application of this procedure, the runway and radar SID tracks must be coincident
up to the MVA.
In VMC by day, the pilot may request, or ATC may offer a visual departure.
When a departure report is required during a SID, the SID designator must be included in the
report.
For a Radar SID, the direction of turn and assigned heading must be advised in the airborne
report.

LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS (LAHSO)


LAHSO are to be considered dependent procedures, with participating aircraft classified as either:
a. active – when an aircraft is issued a hold short requirement and is alerted about traffic on a
crossing runway; or
b. passive – when an aircraft has unrestricted use of the full runway length and is alerted about
traffic on a crossing runway.
Participation
Pilots of foreign registered civil aircraft and of Australian registered aircraft operating under for-
eign air carrier’s flight number callsign are precluded from participation in either active or passive
mode regardless of performance category.
A pilot must not accept a requirement to “HOLD SHORT” unless they are qualified, has situation
awareness, and has determined that the LDA is adequate for the prevailing conditions and the
status of the aircraft.
Operators of aircraft in any category may elect not to allow their pilots to participate in LAHSO. In
these cases, ATS should be advised in writing, specifying the company’s withdrawal from active,
passive or both modes of participation.
NOTE: This notification should be made to Airservices Airline Relations Branch and/or HQ 44WG.
Pilot Advise of LAHSO Approval
ATC will not intentionally issue, and a pilot must not accept, a clearance for a hold-short landing
unless the pilot is LAHSO approved. Pilots who elect to participate actively in LAHSO must obtain
the ATIS broadcast as early as possible and if within 200 NM of a destination where LAHSO is in
progress, immediately advise ATC “LAHSO APPROVED”.
e.g. “MELBOURNE CENTER, (callsign) DESCENDING TO FLIGHT LEVEL TWO FIVE ZERO,
LAHSO APPROVED”.
Pilots of civil aircraft operating under a flight number callsign as advised in flight notification, and
pilots of Australian military aircraft, may omit the words “LAHSO APPROVED”. Aircraft of opera-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1121
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

tors who have advised in writing an intention not to participate will not be intentionally sequenced
for LAHSO.
Where an aircraft or crew that would normally participate actively or passively in LAHSO does not
meet the criteria for participation, this must be communicated to ATC at the earliest opportunity.
Pilots of aircraft not operating under a flight number callsign who will be entering controlled air-
space within 120 NM of destination must advise ATC “LAHSO APPROVED”.
When crews experience wind shear early advice to ATC is essential to ensure timely information
is passed to subsequent aircraft.
ATIS Broadcast
Pilots will be alerted that LAHSO are in progress by a statement on the ATIS; e.g., “DARWIN
TERMINAL INFORMATION BRAVO, RUNWAYS 29 AND 36, LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPER-
ATIONS IN PROGRESS, (wind, temp, etc.)”
Both the active and passive runways will be nominated on the ATIS to aid in crew situational
awareness.
NOTE: The acronym LAHSO may be used at ATC discretion.
Directed Traffic Information
ATC is required to issue directed traffic information to both aircraft participating in LAHSO.
Readback Requirement
In all cases, pilots must read back an ATC issued requirement to hold short.
LAHSO Information Signs
Distance To Go Signs — This sign is provided on runways used for LAHSO where a pilot may
have difficulty seeing the intersecting runway during the landing roll due to an obstruction such as
a hump in the landing runway. This sign is placed on the left hand side of the runway. The num-
bers shown indicate the distance in meters from the sign to the Hold Short Line.

NOTE: Defense airports also provide Distance To Go signs. The distance shown on such a sign
is in feet and is the distance from the sign to the end of the runway.
Runway Intersection Signs — This sign is normally provided for a runway used in LAHSO to
show the designation of the intersecting runway. A sign is placed on both sides of the runway at
the Hold Short Line (75m to the intersecting runway centerline). These signs are illuminated for
night operations. An ATC take-off or landing clearance constitutes clearance to pass such signs
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1122
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

except when a landing clearance specifically directs that the aircraft hold short of the intersecting
runway during the landing run.

Hold Short Lights


These lights are installed on all runways used for LAHSO. The lights indicate the position of the
hold-short line (no closer than 75m from the intersecting runway centerline) and are additional to
the runway intersections signs and hold-short position markings. They consist of a line of six
white, unidirectional lights occulting at approximately 30 times per minute, installed across the
runway. During LAHSO, the lights will be on and occulting, but an ATC clearance to take off, to
land without a LAHSO instruction or requirement, or to cross the intersection after completing a
LAHSO, constitutes a clearance to cross the lights.

ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATION


Controlled airspace is a generic term which, in Australia, covers ATS airspace Classes A, C, D
and E. Applicable airspace classifications are depicted on ENROUTE/AREA Charts.
When ATS airspaces adjoin vertically (one above the other), flights at the common level must
comply with the requirements of, and will be given services applicable to, the less restrictive class
of airspace. In applying these criteria, Class C airspace is considered less restrictive than Class A
airspace; Class D airspace is considered less restrictive than Class C airspace, etc.
NOTE: Heavy or Medium Wake Turbulence category aircraft may be operating at the base and
near the boundaries of controlled airspace. Aircraft operating in Class G airspace in the vicinity of
controlled airspace may be affected by wake turbulence from aircraft operating within controlled
airspace.
When airspace classes adjoin laterally or vertically, flights at the common boundary will be given
services applicable to the lower class of airspace (where A is the highest and G is the lowest).

CONTROL AREAS
A control area (CTA) is defined as “a controlled airspace extending upwards from a specified limit
above the earth.” Control areas normally operate continuously. Areas identified by the word
NOTAM may be activated, or additional areas may be established to meet temporary require-
ments, by the issuance of a NOTAM or AIP Supplement.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1123
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

CONTROL ZONE
A control zone (CTR) is defined as “a controlled airspace extending upwards from the surface of
the earth to a specified upper limit.” CTRs surround controlled airports and are designated as fol-
lows:
a. Civil CTR: A CTR, administered by a civil air navigation service provider, other than a mili-
tary CTR. Class C or Class D procedures and services apply.
b. Military CTR: A CTR administered by the Australian Defence Force. Class C procedures
and services apply to civil flights.
CTRs are active during the hours of the operation of the control tower as published in Airport
Directory or as varied by NOTAM.
NOTE: MIL CTR may be activated at short notice. Pilots should plan their operations on the basis
that CTR are active unless advised to the contrary.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


GENERAL
Submission of flight plan details at least 30 minutes before estimated time of departure is recom-
mended.
Flight Number Call-signs — Using Group Form
Within Australian airspace, “group form” is the preferred means of transmitting call-sign/flight
number. Group form should also be used with military and other aircraft using a root word call-
sign with numeric suffix.
Group form is the grouping of numbers into pairs, or where a number ending in “00” is spoken in
hundreds. For three digit numbers, the second and third numbers are grouped. Examples are as
follows:

QLINK 122 QLINK ONE TWENTY TWO


QANTAS 1220 QANTAS TWELVE TWENTY
CAR 21 CAR TWENTY ONE
CLASSIC 12 CLASSIC TWELVE
VIRGIN 702 VIRGIN SEVEN ZERO TWO
BIRDOG 021 BIRDOG ZERO TWENTY ONE

Pilots and ATS should be aware that the preference to use “group form” does not invalidate any
transmissions made in conventional formats. However, to retain the integrity in the communication
between ATS and operators, the identification format used should be consistent.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1124
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

A pilot not using “group form” in establishing communication, but subsequently addressed by ATS
in this format, should adopt the use of “group form” for the remainder of the flight in Australian
airspace.
There is no additional abbreviated form when using flight number call-signs. The airline designa-
tor and all digits of the call-sign, including leading zeros, must be pronounced.

GROUND MOVEMENT
Pushback
The pilot-in-command must obtain an approval to pushback where this maneuver is necessary
prior to taxiing. Information about other aircraft moving on the same apron will be provided by the
apron service.
Taxi Clearance
When operating from a controlled airport where ATIS is in operation, a pilot-in-command must
obtain the ATIS prior to taxi, and advise ATC of the ATIS code when requesting taxi clearance.
For IFR flights other than Australian air transport operations, the pilot-in-command must provide
ATC with the number of POB when requesting taxi clearance.
Enroute
In controlled airspace, separation standards are based on the pilot maintaining route or track as
closely as possible at all times. Corrective action must be taken to regain route or track as soon
as any deviation is observed.
If an aircraft on a long over-water flight operating in an oceanic Class A airspace has inadvertently
deviated from the route specified in its ATC clearance, the pilot must take action to regain the
cleared route within 200 NM from the position at which the deviation was observed.

AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


Flow Management Stages
At major airports within Australia, Air Traffic Flow Management procedures are applied to manage
demand and capacity at specific airports. These procedures are defined in 3 stages:
a. Strategic — Generally occurs more than one day prior to the day of operation. This is known
as schedule coordination and is managed by the specific airport operator, who may use an
independent coordinator to manage the scheme.
b. Pre tactical — Occurs on the day prior to operation through the implementation of traffic
management initiatives such as a Ground Delay Program (GDP). Airservices Australia Net-
work Coordination Centre (NCC) manages this service.
c. Tactical — Occurs on the day of operation and uses real time traffic information to sequence
traffic to the destination airport. Airservices Australia ATC manage this service.
Tactical flow management takes precedence over pre tactical air traffic flow management which in
turn takes precedence over strategic air traffic flow management.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1125
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Strategic — Schedule Coordination


An airline has the responsibility to obtain permission to operate services from the airport owner
and/or operator.
In addition, all aircraft operators (excluding emergency and state aircraft) must obtain time-slots
(slots) in advance of the operation from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) in accordance with
the following table:

Airport Type of operation


Sydney, Brisbane and Perth All arrivals and departures
Adelaide and Darwin All international and scheduled domestic flights
Cairns, Gold Coast and Melbourne All international flights

ACA slots may be obtained from ACA MON-FRI 2200-0600 UTC as follows:

Notification of changes to slots allocated to existing scheduled flights should be advised to ACA in
accordance with the requirements of the appropriate traffic management scheme.
ACA slots may be obtained outside ACA office hours for short notice non-scheduled flights from
the NCC on 1800 020 626. These slots will be allocated from the available pool.
Allocated ACA slots may be subject to change by ATFM due to operational constraints.
Pre Tactical — Ground Delay Program
General
The NCC publishes GDP for:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1126
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. arrivals to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth Airports; and


b. departures from Perth Airport.
Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and descent
profiles.
Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT)
Pilots must obtain an Air Traffic Flow Management COBT for operations at a GDP airport. Pilots
of scheduled flights will receive their COBT through their operator. Other flights may obtain a
COBT through the NCC by email: atfmu@airservicesaustralia.com or Ph: 1800 020 626 H24.
Failure to obtain a COBT and/or submit a flight plan for a flight to a GDP program airport will
result in the flight being considered early non-compliant.
All aircraft are required to operate within the compliance window for their allocated COBT. Aircraft
unable to operate within the compliance window are to obtain a new COBT through their operator
or the NCC (as per paragraph above). ATC are not able to provide new or amended COBT.

Type of COBT COBT compliance window


Arrivals (SY, BN, ML, PH) -5 min to +15 min
Departure (PH) -5 min to +10 min

For early non-compliant flights, ATC will only issue a clearance to push back or taxi for a ground-
based operational requirement or if there is a reasonable expectation that, due to taxi or runway-
holding position delays, the required CTOT will be achieved.
If a new COBT has been issued after receiving airways clearance, pilots are to advise ATC of the
amended COBT when calling for a start/pushback/taxi clearance.
Notwithstanding actions taken under the above paragraphs to achieve compliance, flights depart-
ing non-compliant can expect delays enroute. Non-compliant flights will be allocated the next
available slot time up to a maximum delay as follows:
a. Early non-compliant – 60 min; or
b. Late non-compliant – published traffic holding delay.
Non-scheduled Flights
Prior to submitting a flight plan, pilots of non-scheduled flights intending to operate into a GDP
airport during the hours of program operation:
a. should, if required, obtain an ACA slot from ACA prior to contacting the NCC; and
b. must contact the NCC for a COBT and, if unable to obtain prior, an ACA slot.
Where possible pilots should contact the NCC prior to 0800 UTC the day before to ensure their
flight in included in the GDP run for the following day. Operators who contact the NCC after the
GDPs have been run will be allocated the next available COBT.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1127

Pilots of non-scheduled flights must check their COBT for any amendments prior to flight by:
a. being able to receive a message from the NCC via their mobile phone/email; or
b. contacting the NCC within one of the flight; or
c. where no communication facilities are available, contacting the domestic HF frequency.
GDP Run Times
GDPs for the following day’s operations are normally run at the following times:

GDP Revision
When unforeseen circumstances significantly reduce the capacity of an airport, a GDP revision
may be initiated and pilots must obtain a new COBT. Tower ATC may stop departures to the GDP
airport to facilitate the revision.
There are three levels of revision:
a. Level 1 – compliance with the new COBT will commence in 30 min; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1128
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. Level 2 – immediate compliance with the new COBT should be observed, however flights
that have already maneuvered to depart may continue; or
c. Level 3 – immediate compliance with the new COBT should be observed by all flights.
NOTE: Level 2 and 3 revisions will not be applied to flights departing Perth, Darwin, Karratha,
Port Hedland or Broome, for Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
The NCC will advise pilots and operators when a revision occurs. This advice may be provided
through ATS when required. When a level 2 or 3 GDP revision occurs, ATS will advise pilots sub-
ject to immediate compliance.
TACTICAL
Aircraft Sequencing Near ATFM Airports
Due to terminal area traffic density, pilots may expect airborne traffic delays for arrival at locations
adjacent to or within Class C control zones.
When sequencing arriving aircraft to controlled airports, ATC may apply one or more of the follow-
ing:
a. Enroute holding procedures;
b. Allocate a waypoint crossing time to the pilot; or
c. Tactically apply delaying action such as speed control or vectoring.
When ATC allocates a waypoint crossing time, aircraft must adjust speed to cross the waypoint at
the specified time or up to 30 seconds early. Speed adjustment to meet a waypoint crossing time
only applies to the specified waypoint. Unless otherwise published or instructed by ATC, pilots
must cross the waypoint at the lesser of 250 kt or profile speed.
Aircraft unable to meet the waypoint crossing time must inform ATC as early as possible.
Brisbane (YBBN) Air Traffic Flow Management Procedures
Strategic ATFM – Runway Demand Management Scheme (RDMS)
Brisbane RDMS is applicable to all airline and ACFT operators using Brisbane airport. All flights
operating into and out of Brisbane must obtain an Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) slot in
accordance with AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT.
General Aviation (GA) apron operations are subject to runway/apron slot management. Approved
slot holders operating on the GA apron are to confirm allocated parking with the Brisbane Airport
Corporation Duty Manager prior to arrival.
For full information regarding the Brisbane RDMS see BAC (Brisbane Airport Corporation) web-
site: www.airportcoordination.org/airports/australia/brisbane-airport/.
Ground Delay Program (GDP)
Brisbane GDP is run on demand and promulgated by NOTAM between 2000–1300 UTC. GDP is
applicable to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing from all Australian domestic airports, and
arriving at Brisbane.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1129

hours of daylight savings).
Except as specified in the Note below, flights from all Australian airports are required to operate in
accordance with the Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT). The COBT can be obtained through
their company or the National Operations Centre on 1800 020 626.
NOTE: COBTs generated by Perth Departure Management Program will take precedence over
COBTs generated by the Melbourne Arrivals GDP.
Flights departing within a 60 NM radius of Melbourne must also obtain a start clearance from the
departure airport when active or from Melbourne ATC 03 9235 7337.
Ground Delay Program (GDP) Outbound
Aircraft departing Melbourne (YMML) airport for an Australian Airport with a Ground Delay Pro-
gram must contact ACD 127.2 after receiving an Airways Clearance and prior to start. ACD will
check compliance with COBT before transferring to SMC 121.7.
Clearance and Pushback Procedures
All departures requiring a pushback must call ACD on 127.2 with their request. ACD will instruct
flightcrew to “monitor ground” or “monitor ground on 121.7.” When clearance is available “Mel-
bourne Ground” (SMC) will issue the pushback clearance or other instruction. This procedure may
be used at any time and will be advised via ATIS.

Ground Delay Program (GDP)
Essendon Arrivals during Melbourne GDP
When the Melbourne TAF indicates a visibility of less than 5000m and a ceiling of less than 1600
ft an Essendon Slot Scheme may be operating. This is dependant on weather and runway config-
urations planned to be in operation between the two Airports during the GDP, as Essendon Arriv-
als may become part of the arrivals sequence into Melbourne. Fixed wing ACFT arriving at
Essendon during these periods must contact the National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020
626 to book a slot for arrival into Essendon.
Operators who upload a schedule into Metron Harmony or provide a schedule to the NOC will
have their ACFT automatically assigned a slot. ACFT operators will still need to confirm their allo-
cated slot time with the NOC.
All aircraft subject to the Essendon Slot Scheme must arrive within -5/+15 minutes of their alloca-
ted slot. Pilots unable to operate within the compliance window must contact the NOC to obtain a
new slot.
Failure to obtain or comply with a slot and/or to submit a flight plan for a flight to Essendon Airport
may result in extensive airborne holding or Airways Clearance being withheld if Essendon Airport
has no compatible arrival slots available.
A NOTAM will be issued notifying times the Essendon Slot Scheme is in operation or cancelling it
if weather conditions change.
Priority Flights are exempt from this procedure.
Perth (YPPH) Air Traffic Flow Management Procedures
A slot allocation system and a ground delay program (GDP) applies at Perth airport. Details,
including the allocation and use of Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT), can be found in AIR
TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT.
The arrival GDP applies to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing from all Australian domestic
airports and arriving at Perth between 0030–1400 UTC MON – FRI. In addition, flights departing
from Jandakot for a landing at Perth must contact Perth Centre on 135.25 prior to starting
engines.
The departures GDP applies to all fixed wing, non-priority flights departing Perth between 2130–
0030 UTC MON – FRI. PH SMC will make a general broadcast on 121.7 and 122.2 advising early
clearance is AVBL when demand is lower than capacity due to gate delays.
During periods when start approvals are required due to extensive DLA, ACFT will be assigned a
‘start sequence number’ at clearance issue. When issuing a start approval, the Ground Controller
will quote that ACFTs ‘start sequence number’ to assist other ACFT in determining their position
in the start order. If assigned a start sequence number pilots must monitor ground 121.7 and
122.2 for this advice and start approval. Operators may request to swap start sequence numbers
of own company ACFT by contacting Perth Tower via phone: 08 9476 8625.

ALTERNATE WEATHER MINIMA


Jeppesen Airport Pages show the ceiling and visibility minima to be compared with the meteoro-
logical forecasts and report to determine both the need to provide for an alternate airport and the
suitability of an airport as an alternate.
“Special” Alternate Minima
Special alternate weather minima are available for specified approaches at some airports for use
by aircraft with dual ILS/VOR approach capability. Dual ILS/VOR approach capability must
include:
a. duplicated LOC; and
b. duplicated GP; and
c. duplicated VOR; and
d. either:
– duplicated DME; or
– duplicated GNSS; or
– single DME and single GNSS.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1132
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Special alternate weather minima will not be available (minima will revert to the standard alternate
minima) during periods when:
a. local METAR / SPECI or forecasting services are not available; or
b. an airport control service is not provided.
The non-availability of MET and ATS services will be notified by NOTAM.
Where:
a. there is a protracted unserviceability (i.e., more than 7 days) of any one VHF approach aid;
or
b. facilities required for conduct of a VHF-based instrument approach and landing are unserv-
iceable or not available,
Airservices Australia will, if necessary, advise of the non-availability of, or any revision to, special
alternate minima by NOTAM.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Weather Holding Fuel
Except when operating an aircraft under the VFR by day within 50 NM of the point of departure,
the pilot in command must provide for a suitable alternate airport when arrival at the destination
will be during the currency of, or up to 30 minutes prior to the forecast commencement of, the fol-
lowing weather conditions:
a. Cloud – more than SCT below the alternate minimum; or
NOTE: In determining requirements for alternate airports, forecast amounts of cloud below
the alternate minima are cumulative. For determining requirements, the cumulative cloud
amount is interpreted as follows:
FEW plus FEW is equivalent to SCT,
FEW plus SCT is equivalent to BKN,
SCT plus SCT is equivalent to BKN or OVC.
b. Visibility – less than the alternate minimum; or
c. Visibility – greater than the alternate minimum, but the forecast is endorsed with at least 30%
probability of fog, mist, dust or any other phenomenon restricting visibility below the alternate
minimum; or
d. a thunderstorm or associated severe turbulence, or a forecast of at least a 30% probability of
such an event; or
e. Wind – a crosswind or tailwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft;
NOTE: Wind gusts must be considered.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1133
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

When operating a helicopter under the VFR, and the use of helicopter VMC is permissible at the
destination, the pilot in command must provide for a suitable alternate airport when either of the
following conditions is forecast at the destination:
a. cloud — more than SCT below a ceiling of 1000 ft; or
b. visibility — less than 3000m.
When weather conditions at the destination are forecast to be as specified above, but are expec-
ted to improve at a specific time, provision for an alternate airport need not be made if sufficient
fuel is carried to allow the aircraft to hold until that specified time plus 30 minutes.
When weather conditions at the destination are forecast to be above the values specified above,
but, additionally, intermittent or temporary deteriorations in the weather below the values are fore-
cast, provision of an alternate need not be made if sufficient fuel is carried to allow the aircraft to
hold for:
a. 30 minutes holding for intermittent deterioration (INTER); or
b. 60 minutes holding for temporary deterioration (TEMPO).
When thunderstorms or their associated severe turbulence or their probability is forecast at the
destination, sufficient fuel must be carried to permit the aircraft to proceed to a suitable alternate
or to hold for:
a. 30 minutes when the forecast is endorsed INTER; or
b. 60 minutes when the forecast is endorsed TEMPO.
When a forecast has multiple INTER or TEMPO deteriorations and holding fuel will be carried,
fuel must be carried to hold for only the most limiting requirement. INTER and TEMPO holding
fuel requirements are not cumulative.
When TAFs include a FM or a BECMG, causing an operational requirement to either become
effective or be removed, the timing for the change in operational requirement is as follows:
a. When the weather following the FM or BECMG is forecast to create an operational require-
ment, that operational requirement will become effective 30 minutes before the start of the
FM time, or 30 minutes before the start of the BECMG period.
b. When the weather following the FM or BECMG is forecast to remove an operational require-
ment, that operational requirement will remain effective until 30 minutes after the FM time or
30 minutes after the end of the BECMG period.
The fuel required, as listed above, must be carried when the ETA of the aircraft at its destination
or alternate falls within the period 30 minutes before the forecast commencement time to 30
minutes after the expected time of cessation of these deteriorations. If the holding time extends
past 30 minutes after the forecast cessation of these deteriorations, the aircraft need only carry
sufficient fuel to hold until 30 minutes after the forecast cessation time.
At airports receiving a TAF3 service, and only during the first 3 hours of the TAF3 validity, not
beyond the end time for the TAF3 service if such a time is specified, the following do not apply:
a. 30-minute buffers required as set forth in above paragraphs;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1134
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. the alternate or holding fuel required by:


1. visibility as shown in above paragraphs for reduction in visibility, or
2. for any PROB30 or PROB40 for TS or associated severe turbulence.
For IFR flights, the alternate minima are as follows:
a. For airports with an Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) that the pilot is able to conduct,
the alternate minima published on the chart (see ALTERNATE WEATHER MINIMA).
b. By day only – for airports without an IAP, or that has an IAP but the pilot is unable to conduct
that procedure, the alternate minima is the lowest safe altitude for the final route segment
plus 500 ft and a visibility of 8km.
NOTE: Alternate minima based on weather for night IFR operations is only para (a) above. If the
planned destination airport for an IFR flight by night does not have any IAP, or any IAP that the
pilot can conduct, the flight must plan for a destination alternate airport. The destination alternate
airport must have an IAP that the pilot is able to conduct, which would then result in para (a) being
the applicable alternate weather minima.
For flight by airplanes under the VFR (day or night) and helicopters operating under the VFR at
night, the alternate minima are a ceiling of 1500 ft and a visibility of 8km.
For VFR helicopter operations by day, the alternate minima are the same as for night unless the
additional conditions specified in Section 2.07 of the Part 91 MOS are met. When these additional
conditions are met, the alternate minima requirements are as shown above.

AIRBORNE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (ACAS)/TRAFFIC ALERT AND


COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)
Aircraft fitted with a serviceable ACAS/TCAS, and with a crew trained in its use, are permitted to
operate that system while in Australian airspace.
Pilots of transponder-equipped aircraft should ensure their transponder is switched to ON/ALT
(Mode C) at all times.
NOTE: TCAS will neither track nor display:
a. non-transponder-equipped aircraft;
b. aircraft with an inoperable transponder; or
c. aircraft operating a Mode A transponder.

Use of ACAS/TCAS Indicators


Traffic Advisory (TA). In the event of a TA, pilots should use all available information to prepare
for appropriate action if an RA occurs including:
a. attempt to establish visual contact; and
b. change the flight path only if a collision risk is established visually.
NOTE: RA collision avoidance maneuvers will not be provided to an aircraft with TA-only mode
selected, e.g. during engine failure or operating in known close proximity to other traffic such as
approaches to closely spaced parallel runways.
Resolution Advisory (RA). In the event of an RA, pilots must:
a. immediately conform to the RA indication, even if this conflicts with an air traffic control
(ATC) instruction, unless doing so would jeopardize the safety of the aircraft;
b. limit the alterations of the flight path to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the RA;
and
c. notify ATC, as soon as permitted by workload, of any RA which requires a deviation from the
current ATC instruction or clearance.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) requires that all TCAS Resolution Advisories are
treated as Routine Reportable Matters.
The ATSB reporting requirements apply to all TCAS-equipped aircraft operating in Australian-
administered airspace. The requirements also apply to Australian registered aircraft operating out-
side Australian-administered airspace.
The above information is required for proactive systems analysis in relation to accident preven-
tion.
High Vertical Rate (HVR) Encounters
A TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) may result from having a high vertical rate when approaching
an assigned altitude or flight level when another aircraft is maintaining, or approaching, an adja-
cent altitude or flight level. To avoid RAs in these circumstances, the pilot of the climbing or
descending aircraft should, where practicable, reduce the vertical rate to less than 1500 FPM
when within the last 1000 ft of the assigned altitude or flight level, unless otherwise directed by
ATC.
NOTE 1: Pilots are not required to modify vertical speed for every level-off. This is not necessary
and would introduce a significant increase in pilot workload.
NOTE 2: Pilots may become aware of the presence of an adjacent aircraft by several means,
including:
a. visual acquisition;
b. information provided by ATC; or
c. TCAS Traffic Advisory (TA).

RULES AND PROCEDURES

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCAST BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)


TIBA procedures are intended to permit reports and relevant supplementary information of an
advisory nature to be transmitted by pilots for the information of pilots of other aircraft in the vicin-
ity.
Frequency
Aircraft must maintain a listening watch on the appropriate TIBA frequency. Where VHF is used
for air-ground communications with ATS and an aircraft has two serviceable VHF sets, one must
be tuned to the appropriate ATS frequency and the other to the TIBA frequency. The appropriate
TIBA frequencies are:
a. at or above FL200, 128.95 MHz;
b. below FL200:
1. In Class G airspace other than in oceanic areas, the relevant Area VHF;
2. otherwise 126.35 MHz.
Collision Avoidance
If, on receipt of traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediate
action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk to the aircraft, and this cannot be achieved
in accordance with the right of way provisions or TCAS resolution, the pilot should: unless an
alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 1000 ft if above FL410, or
500 ft if at or below FL410.

OPERATING REQUIREMENTS FOR ADS-B TRANSMITTERS


Pilots of aircraft fitted with a serviceable ADS-B transmitter which has been confirmed suitable to
receive ADS-B derived ATS surveillance services in Australia should activate the transmitter at all
times during flight.
NOTE 1: Some ADS-B installations may share controls with the SSR transponder, meaning that
independent operation of the two systems is not possible.
NOTE 2: If it is not possible to comply with a particular instruction the pilot must advise ATC and
request alternative instructions.
Aircraft equipped with ADS-B having an aircraft identification feature shall transmit the aircraft
identification as specified in the flight notification or, when no flight notification has been filed, the
aircraft registration.

MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE


The Mach Number Technique (MNT) may be used by ATC in the application of longitudinal sepa-
ration standards on routes within oceanic control areas (OCA) and Australian control areas (CTA).
Pilots of jet aircraft must include the planned true Mach Number in their flight plans.
Pilots are required to readback and maintain an assigned Mach Number. ATC approval must be
obtained before making any change. If an immediate temporary Mach Number change is essen-

tial (e.g., due to turbulence), ATC must be notified as soon as possible that such a change has
been made.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES IN OCEANIC


AIRSPACE
Introduction
Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures set forth below provide for
the more frequent cases such as:
a. The inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions;
b. Enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow (for example, due to medical emergen-
cies); and
c. The loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in
an airspace where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct
of flight operations, or pressurization failure.
The pilot must take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft, and the pilot’s judg-
ment must determine the sequence of actions to be taken in light of the prevailing circumstances.
ATC will render all possible assistance.
General Procedures
If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clear-
ance must be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
If prior clearance cannot be obtained, the following contingency procedures should be employed
until a revised clearance is received. In general terms, the aircraft should be flown at an offset
level and on an offset track where other aircraft are less likely to be encountered. Specifically, the
pilot should:
a. leave the cleared track or ATS route by initially turning at least 30 degrees to the right or to
the left in order to establish and maintain a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset
by 5 NM. The direction of the turn should be based on one or more of the following factors:
1. Aircraft position relative to any organized track or ATS route system;
2. The direction of flights and flight levels allocated on adjacent tracks;
3. The direction to an alternate airport;
4. Any strategic lateral offset being flown; and
5. Terrain clearance.
b. maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped),
leaving ACAS in RA mode at all times, unless aircraft operating limitations dictate otherwise;
c. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
d. keep the SSR transponder on at all times and, when able, squawk 7700 as appropriate and,
if equipped with ADS-B or ADS-C, select the appropriate emergency functionality;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1140
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

e. as soon as practicable, advise ATC of any deviation from their assigned clearance;
f. use means as appropriate (i.e., voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a contingency
or emergency;
NOTE 1: When emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may
respond via CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with
the aircraft.
NOTE 2: Guidance on emergency procedures for controllers, radio operators, and flight crew
in data link operations can be found in the Global Operational Data Link (GOLD) Manual
(Doc 10037) (not published herein).
g. if voice communication is used, use the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency
signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, as appropriate; and
h. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting at suitable intervals
on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air fre-
quency 123.45 MHz):
1. aircraft identification;
2. flight level;
3. position including the ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate;
4. the nature of the distress condition; and
5. intentions.
NOTE: ATC will attempt to determine the nature of the emergency and ascertain any assis-
tance that may be required. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft will be based
on the intentions of the pilot and overall traffic situation.
Actions to Be Taken Once Offset from Track
NOTE: The pilot’s judgment of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of the aircraft will
determine the actions outlined to be taken. Factors for the pilot to consider when deviating from
the cleared track or ATS route or level without an ATC clearance include, but are not limited to:
a. Operation within a parallel track system;
b. The potential for User Preferred Routes (UPR) parallel to the aircraft’s track or ATS route;
c. The nature of the contingency (e.g., aircraft system malfunction); and
d. Weather factors (e.g., convective weather at lower flight levels).
If possible, maintain the assigned flight level until established on the 5 NM parallel, same direction
track or ATS route offset. If unable, initially minimize the rate of descent to the extent that is
operationally feasible.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1141
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Once established on a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset by 5 NM either:
a. descend below FL290 and establish a 500 ft vertical offset from those flight levels normally
used and proceed as required by the operational situation or if an ATC clearance has been
obtained, in accordance with the clearance; or
NOTE 1: Flight levels normally used are those contained in ATC — CLIMB AND CRUISE —
Tables of Cruising Levels.
NOTE 2: Descent below FL290 is considered particularly applicable to operations where
there is a predominant traffic flow (e.g., east-west) or parallel track system where the air-
craft’s diversion path will likely cross adjacent tracks or ATS routes. A descent below FL290
can decrease the likelihood of conflict with other aircraft, ACAS RA events and delays in
obtaining a revised ATC clearance.
b. establish a 500 ft vertical offset (or 1000 ft vertical offset if above FL410) from those flight
levels normally used and proceed as required by the operational situation, or if an ATC clear-
ance has been obtained, in accordance with the clearance.
NOTE: Altimetry System Errors (ASE) may result in less than 500 ft vertical spacing (less than
1000 ft above FL410) when the above contingency procedure is applied.
Weather Deviation Procedures
General
When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice or
CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
b. requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.
When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDLC urgency downlink message.
The pilot must inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather devi-
ation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
Actions to Be Taken when Controller-Pilot Communications Are Established
The pilot should notify ATC and request clearance to deviate from track or ATS route advising,
when possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever means are
appropriate (i.e., voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a weather deviation.
NOTE: Pilots are advised to contact ATC as soon as possible with requests for clearance in order
to provide adequate time for the request to be assessed and acted upon.
After communicating with ATC, the pilot:
a. must comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1142
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. when ATC are unable to issue a clearance for the requested deviation, should advise ATC of
intentions and execute the procedures detailed in the following subsection.
Actions to Be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot Be Obtained
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track or ATS route to avoid adverse meteorological condi-
tions and prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance must be obtained at the earliest
possible time. Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot should take the following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or ATS route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals
on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, on the inter-pilot air-to-air fre-
quency 123.45 MHz):
1. aircraft identification;
2. flight level;
3. position including ATS route designator or the track code; and
4. intentions.
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
d. turn on all exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. for deviations of less than 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route, remain at a
level assigned by ATC;
f. for deviations greater than or equal to 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route,
when the aircraft is approximately 5 NM from track, initiate a level change in accordance with
the following table:

Originally Cleared Track or


Deviations >5 NM Level Change
ATS Route Centerline
EAST LEFT DESCEND 300 ft
(000° — 179° magnetic) RIGHT CLIMB 300 ft
WEST LEFT CLIMB 300 ft
(180° – 359° magnetic) RIGHT DESCEND 300 ft

g. if the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or ATS route for a specified dis-
tance and, subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that dis-
tance, the pilot should apply an altitude offset in accordance with the table above before
deviating beyond the cleared distance;
h. when returning to track or ATS route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 5 NM of the centerline; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1143
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

i. if contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain traffic information.
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions of this paragraph, the pilot determines
that there is another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then
the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (SLOP) IN OCA


Aircraft operating in OCA within Australian administered airspace are authorized to use strategic
lateral offset procedures (SLOP) in accordance with the requirements detailed below.
The following requirements apply to the use of SLOP:
a. The offset must only be applied by aircraft with automatic offset tracking capability.
b. The offset must be established in tenths of a nautical mile up to a maximum of 2 NM to the
RIGHT of track relative to the direction of flight.
NOTE: Offsets to the left of track are not permitted.
c. The offset must only be applied during the enroute phase of flight.
d. The offset may only be used in OCA. Pilots must fly the route centerline for any portion of
their route within CTA. Pilots must return to centerline before leaving OCA or, where the sub-
sequent state does not allow SLOP, prior to leaving Australian administered airspace.
e. The offset must not be used in addition to diversions or other offsets; eg, weather or wake
turbulence.
f. The offset must not be applied at levels where obstacle clearance would be affected.
g. Identified aircraft:
1. may continue an offset in OCA; and
2. must advise ATC prior to initiating or changing an offset.
The decision to apply SLOP is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command – a clearance is not
required. Except when an identified aircraft initiates or changes a lateral offset, pilots are not
required to notify ATC that SLOP are being applied.
The use of SLOP is recommended in OCA for aircraft cruising at levels not in compliance with the
table of cruising levels.

USE OF GNSS IN OCEANIC AND REMOTE AREAS


Australia has approved the use of GNSS as a primary means of navigation for oceanic/remote
areas. Aircraft operators intending to utilize GNSS as a primary means of navigation in these
areas must be approved by the State of Registry or State of the Operator, as appropriate.
To ensure navigation integrity, an appropriate enroute GNSS prediction analysis, using the soft-
ware provided by the GNSS manufacturer, must be conducted prior to each flight. For this analy-
sis, the following parameters, or equivalents, must be used:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1144
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. the route or airspace RNP, where published; or


b. a centerline space of:
1. 20 NM for flight in CTA, and
2. 50 NM for flight in OCA.
Aircraft meeting the requirements for the use of GNSS as a primary means of navigation in oce-
anic/remote continental airspace must indicate the approval in the flight notification. Such aircraft
may flight plan on designated Area Navigation routes within Australian FIRs.

OPERATIONS IN OCEANIC AIRSPACE REQUIRING PERFORMANCE-


BASED COMMUNICATION AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS)
AUTHORIZATION
ICAO have introduced new provisions on PBCS calling for States to prescribe Required Commu-
nication Performance (RCP) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP) specifications in their
airspace as appropriate to the level of air traffic services provided. RCP 240 and RSP 180 are
being applied in addition to Required Navigation Performance (RNP) specifications to certain sep-
aration minima in oceanic airspace by some States.
Australia has filed a difference with ICAO and has not yet implemented RCP or RSP.
Flights proceeding outside Australia should be aware that some States have prescribed RCP 240
and RSP 180 specifications in their administered airspace. Those States may require operators to
be authorized by CASA to declare their RCP and RSP capabilities and for entering the respective
descriptors in their flight plans.
CASA has issued an Instrument, number CASA 33/18 — Required Communication Performance
and Required Surveillance Performance (RCP 240 and RSP 180) Capability Declarations – Direc-
tion 2018, which states the requirements for Australian operators to assess their compliance to
RCP 240 and RSP 180 specifications and declare their readiness by entering the respective RCP
and RSP descriptors in their flight plans.
Guidance on PBCS and the subject CASA Instrument is provided in Advisory Circular (AC) 91-06
V1.0.

NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES


a. NOPAC System
The NOPAC Route System is comprised of five Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes which transit
the North Pacific between Alaska and Japan. The two northern routes are used for west-
bound traffic. The three southern routes are used for eastbound traffic, except that R-591 or
G-344 may be used for westbound aircraft crossing the Fukuoka/Anchorage FIR between
0000UTC and 0600UTC.
b. Transition Routes
1. Within the Fukuoka FIR, Oceanic Transition Routes (OTRs) and, in one case, a Victor
route, have been established for aircraft transitioning to or from the NOPAC Route
System.
2. Within the Anchorage FIR, certain ATS routes are used for the same purpose. These
routes include: G583, B757, R341, G469, A342, G215, R330, R336, R338, and G349
(for westbound use only).
c. Separation Standards
1. The primary form of lateral separation within the NOPAC Route System is 25 NM lateral
either side of the centerline, based on Required Navigation Performance 10 (RNP-10)
and 1000' vertical separation (FL290 - FL410) based on Reduced Vertical Separation
Minimums (RVSM).
2. Lateral separation for Non-RNP10 aircraft and aircraft operating below FL180 is 50 NM
lateral either side of the centerline. Standard longitudinal separation within the Anchor-
age Oceanic FIR is 15 minutes “in trail”.
d. Flight Plans
1. Operators shall enter “R” in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft and operator
have been approved for RNP 10 operations for the route of flight.
2. Operators shall enter “W” in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft and operator
have been approved for RVSM.
3. Aircraft not approved for RNP10 and/or RVSM shall not enter “R” and/or “W” in item 10.
4. Aircraft approved for both RNP10 and RVSM may flight plan any of the NOPAC routes
with the following altitude restrictions:
(a) R-220: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL330, FL350, FL370,
FL390, FL410, and FL430
(b) R-580: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL350, FL370, and
FL430
(c) A-590: Eastbound, Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340, and
FL450

(g) G-344: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400 and FL430, also FL350, FL370
and FL390 available when route is part of published Westbound PACOTS.
(h) R-591 and G-344 are Eastbound routes unless designated as Westbound
PACOTS. Traffic flows are either Eastbound or Westbound with the tracks being
emptied of traffic before changing direction.
5. Non-RNP-10 aircraft shall flight plan as follows:
(a) Westbound: R-580 at all times.
(b) Eastbound: A-590 at all times.
(c) Eastbound: G-344 when available for eastbound flights.
(d) The altitudes available on these routes are at or below FL280 and at or above
FL430. ATC may reroute non-RNP 10 aircraft to other than the above routes due
to traffic.
e. NOPAC Reroutes
Aircraft cannot always be accommodated on their flight planned NOPAC route. In an effort to
reduce coordination time and errors between ATC and flight crews, JCAB (Fukuoka ATMC)
and FAA (Anchorage ARTCC) have agreed on a common procedure to accommodate most
reroutes. Aircraft rerouted from one NOPAC ATC route to another NOPAC ATC route will be
given short range clearances into the adjoining FIR's RADAR coverage airspace. The receiv-
ing ATC facility will then issue further routing to the aircraft prior to the aircraft reaching the
clearance limit.
1. Example 1: aircraft ABC101 is routed via R-220 to RJTT but can not be accommodated
on R-220. The aircraft may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC101 cleared to OATIS via
R-580, expect further clearance from ATMC after OMOTO.”
2. Example 2: aircraft ABC102 is routed via A-590 to PAFA but can not be accommodated
on A-590. The aircraft may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC102 cleared to SYA via
R-591, expect further routing from Anchorage ARTCC after AKISU.”

5. As soon as practicable, advise air traffic control of any deviation from their assigned
clearance;
6. Use means as appropriate (i.e., voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a contin-
gency or emergency;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1151
NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

7. If voice communications are used, the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or


urgency signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, shall be used, as appropri-
ate;
8. When emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may respond
via CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with the
aircraft;
9. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting on the fre-
quencies in use and at suitable intervals on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-
pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz): aircraft identification, the nature of the distress
condition, intention of the pilot, position (including the ATS route designator or the track
code, as appropriate) and flight level; and
10. The controller should attempt to determine the nature of the emergency and ascertain
any assistance that may be required. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that air-
craft shall be based on the intentions of the pilot and overall traffic situation.

EXTENDED RANGE OPERATIONS BY AIRCRAFT WITH TWO-TURBINE POWER-


UNITS (ETOPS)
a. If the contingency procedures are employed by a twin-engine aircraft as a result of an engine
shutdown or 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 expe-
ditious handling.

POSITION REPORTS OVER OAKLAND OCEANIC FIR BOUNDARY


a. Aircraft entering the Oakland FIR are requested to forward boundary position reports via
ARINC or CPDLC as follows:
1. Boundary fixes that are compulsory reporting points.
2. Filed fixes when they coincide with the FIR boundary.
3. The boundary between the Manila, Ujung Pandang, Port Moresby and Nauru FIRs and
the Oakland FIR.
4. The boundary of the Open Area Uncontrolled Airspace west of Mazatlan ACC and the
Oakland FIR along 120° west longitude.
5. Outbound from the Guam CERAP area at the 250 NM ARC from the UNZ VORTAC.
6. Eastbound PACOTS Flights should report only those fixes detailed in the published
route.
7. When requested by ATC.
b. Aircraft leaving the lateral limits of the Oakland FIR and entering uncontrolled airspace shall
forward the time over the boundary outbound.

Oceanic Position Reporting Procedures


For non-ADS equipped aircraft, any waypoint filed in the route of flight (Item 15 of the ICAO flight
plan) must be reported as a position report whether the filed waypoint is compulsory or not. If a
non-compulsory waypoint is not filed in item 15, it does not need to be reported.
a. POSITION REPORTS:
1. When operating on a published ATS Route or a temporary route established by
NOTAM, report and estimate the designated reporting points using the specified way-
point names or geographic coordinates as specified in the NOTAM.
2. When operating on a random route:
(a) Flights whose tracks are predominantly east and west shall report over each 5° or
10° (10° will be used if the speed of the aircraft is such that 10° will be traversed
within 80 minutes or less) meridian longitude extending east and west from 180°.
(b) Flights whose tracks are predominantly north and south shall report over each 5°
or 10° (10° if traversed within 80 minutes) parallel of latitude extending north and
south of the equator.
3. ATC may require specific flights to report more frequently than each 5° for aircraft with
slow ground speeds.
4. Position reports shall be transmitted at the time of crossing the designated reporting
point or as soon thereafter as possible.
b. CONTENT OF POSITION REPORT:
Position reports shall include information on present position, estimated next position, and
ensuing position in sequence as indicated below.
1. Present position — Information shall include:
(a) The word “position”.
(b) Aircraft identification.
(c) Reporting point name, or if not named:
(1) Latitude (2 digits or more); and
(2) Longitude (3 digits or more).
2. Time over reporting point (4 digits UTC).
3. Altitude (flight level). When forwarding an altitude report within the Oakland FIR, pilots
should report their present altitude and their assigned altitude exactly as cleared if the
present and assigned altitudes differ. Aircraft assigned a block altitude must report their
current altitude and the assigned block altitude. A restriction to cross a point at an alti-
tude is not a block altitude assignment and should not be reported as a block of alti-
tudes.
4. Estimated next position:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1153
NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

(a) Reporting point name, or if not named, latitude and longitude as in b.1.(c) above
and,
(b) Estimated time over next position (4 digits UTC).
5. Ensuing Fix
(a) Name only of the next succeeding fix whether compulsory or not, or if not named,
latitude and longitude as in b.1.(c) above.
c. WEATHER REPORTS:
Weather reports shall be included as provided in Section 3 of Standard AIREP Form by all
flights unless exempted from weather reporting by the Weather Service and/or ATC.
d. ADHERENCE TO ATC APPROVED ROUTE
If an aircraft, notwithstanding all action taken to adhere to the route specified in the ATC
clearance, inadvertently deviates from this route, action shall be taken to regain it as soon as
reasonable and not further ahead than 200 nautical miles from the DR position at which the
heading was altered to regain the route specified in the ATC clearance. Action to regain this
route shall not be delayed in anticipation of obtaining a requested re-clearance.
e. EXCEPTIONS TO POSITION REPORTS:
1. Within Oakland FIR, no 5° report need be made that would fall within 100 NM of Guam.
Aircraft cleared via terminal area routes report compulsory reporting fixes. Other aircraft
report 100 NM from Nimitz VORTAC. Where other island destinations within the Oak-
land FIR are not more than 1° latitude-longitude from a 5° fixed line reporting point, the
ETA and arrival report may be substituted in lieu of the adjacent fixed line report.
2. To the east of the Hawaiian Islands it will not be necessary to report the 155° west posi-
tion if position will be reported at the entry/exit fixes at the Honolulu Control Facility
boundary. To the west of Honolulu 160° west need not be reported.

WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES FOR OCEANIC-CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice or
CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. Stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
b. Requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.
When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDCL urgency downlink message.
The pilot shall inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required or when a weather devia-
tion has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1154
NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

Actions to Be Taken When Controller-Pilot Communications Are Established


The pilot should notify ATC and request clearance to deviate from track or ATS route, advising,
when possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever means are
appropriate (i.e., voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a weather deviation.
ATC should take one of the following actions:
a. When appropriate separation can be applied, issue clearance to deviate from track; or
b. If there is conflicting traffic and ATC is unable to establish appropriate separation, ATC shall:
1. Advise the pilot of inability to issue clearance for the requested deviation;
2. Advise the pilot of conflicting traffic; and
3. Request the pilot’s intentions.
The pilot should take the following actions:
a. Comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
b. Advise ATC of intentions and execute the procedures detailed below.
Actions to Be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot Be Obtained
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track or ATS route to avoid adverse meteorological condi-
tions and prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest
possible time. Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or ATS route system;
b. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable inter-
vals: aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track
code) and intentions, on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the
inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
d. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. For deviations of less than 9.3km (5.0 NM) from the originally cleared track or ATS route,
remain at a level assigned by ATC;
f. For deviations greater than, or equal to 9.3km (5.0 NM) from the originally cleared track or
ATS route, when the aircraft is approximately 9.3km (5.0 NM) from track, initiate a level
change in accordance with the table below;
g. If the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or ATS route for a specified dis-
tance and, subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that dis-
tance, the pilot should apply an altitude offset in accordance with the table below before
deviating beyond the cleared distance;
h. When returning to track or ATS route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 9.3km (5.0 NM) of the centerline; and

REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Third Asia / Pacific Regional Air Navigation
meeting recommended that Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) be introduced in the
Pacific region after successful implementation in the North Atlantic region. This is also due to the
significant benefits to be gained by aircraft operators and air traffic services (ATS) providers.
ICAO Document 9574, Manual on Implementation of a 300m [1000 ft] Vertical Separation Mini-
mum Between FL290 and FL410 Inclusive contains an explanation of RVSM.
1.1.1 Benefits to be gained from RVSM include:
a. adoption of an ICAO endorsed navigation requirement;
b. improved utilization of airspace for ATC conflict resolution; and
c. fuel savings of ≈1% for flight closer to optimum cruise altitude.

1.2 APPLICATION OF RVSM AIRSPACE


1.2.1 RVSM airspace has been implemented throughout the region. See Pacific Enroute Charts.

1.3 AIRWORTHINESS AND OPERATIONAL APPROVAL AND MONITORING


1.3.1 In order to support the implementation of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)
in the Pacific Region, the Asia/Pacific Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional
Group (APANPIRG) established a regional monitoring agency. This agency, the Pacific Approvals
Registry and Monitoring Organization (PARMO), is located at the United States Federal Aviation
Administration's William J. Hughes Technical Center. Access the web site through:
http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/enroute/rvsm/
1.3.2 APPROVAL PROCESS. Operators must obtain airworthiness and operational approval
from the State of Registry or State of the Operator, as appropriate, to conduct RVSM operations.
1.3.3 AIRCRAFT MONITORING. Operators are required to participate in the RVSM aircraft
monitoring program. Monitoring accomplished for other regions can be used to fulfill requirements
for the Asia/Pacific region. The PARMO will process results or coordinate with other agencies to
access information. See:
http://www.tc.faa.gov/acb300/PARMO/

1.4 ACAS II AND TRANSPONDER EQUIPAGE


1.4.1 The APANPIRG recommends that those aircraft equipped with Airborne Collision Avoid-
ance System (ACAS) and operated in RVSM airspace be equipped with ACAS II. (TCAS II sys-
tems with version 7.0 incorporated meet ICAO ACAS II standards.)
1.4.2 International General Aviation (IGA) Transponder Equipage
ICAO Annex 6, Part II, states that, IGA airplanes shall be equipped with a pressure altitude report-
ing transponder which operates in accordance with the relevant provisions of Annex 10, Volume
IV.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1157
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

NOTE: These provisions are intended to support the effectiveness of ACAS as well as to improve
the effectiveness of air traffic services.

2 IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES WITHIN RVSM AIRSPACE


2.1 GENERAL
Before entering RVSM airspace, the pilot should review the status of required equipment. The fol-
lowing equipment should be operating normally:
a. two primary altimetry systems:
b. one automatic altitude-keeping device; and
c. one altitude-alerting device.
2.1.1 The pilot must notify ATC whenever the aircraft:
a. is no longer RVSM compliant due to equipment failure; or
b. experiences loss of redundancy of altimetry systems; or
c. encounters turbulence that affects the capability to maintain flight level.

2.2 TRANSITION BETWEEN FLIGHT LEVELS


During cleared transition between levels, the aircraft should not overshoot or undershoot the
assigned FL by more than 150 ft (45m).

2.3 PILOT LEVEL CALL


Except in an ADS or radar environment, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assigned within
RVSM airspace.

3 FLIGHT PLANNING REQUIREMENTS


3.1 GENERAL
Unless special arrangement is made as detailed below, RVSM approval is required for aircraft to
operate within designated RVSM airspace. The operator must determine that the appropriate
State authority has approved the aircraft and will meet the RVSM requirements for the filed route
of flight and any planned alternate routes. The letter “W” shall be inserted in item 10 (Equipment)
on the ICAO standard flight plan to indicate that the aircraft is an RVSM approved aircraft.

3.2 PROCEDURES FOR OPERATION OF NON-RVSM COMPLIANT


AIRCRAFT IN RVSM AIRSPACE
3.2.1 It should be noted that RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation
over non-RVSM approved aircraft.
3.2.2 The vertical separation minimum between non-RVSM aircraft operating in the RVSM stra-
tum and all other aircraft is 2000 feet.
3.2.3 Non-RVSM compliant aircraft operating in RVSM airspace should use the phraseology in
section 6.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1158
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

3.2.4 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, and
b. do not level off at an intermediate level while passing through the RVSM stratum.
3.2.5 Non-RVSM compliant aircraft may not flight plan between FL290 and FL410 inclusive
within RVSM airspace. After special coordination as detailed in paragraph 3.2.6 below, the follow-
ing non-RVSM aircraft may flight plan at RVSM flight levels in the RVSM stratum:
a. is being initially delivered to the State of Registry or Operator; or
b. was formally RVSM approved but has experienced an equipment failure and is being flown
to a maintenance facility for repair in order to meet RVSM requirements and/or obtain appro-
val; or
c. is transporting a spare engine mounted under the wing; or
d. is being utilized for mercy or humanitarian purposes; or
e. State aircraft (those aircraft used in military, customs and police services shall be deemed
state aircraft).
3.2.6 Aircraft operators requesting approval as above shall:
a. obtain approval from the appropriate Air Traffic Control Center normally not more than 72
hours (12 hours within the Oakland and Anchorage FIRs) and not less than 4 hours prior to
the intended departure time. The Air Traffic Control Center will provide notification of appro-
val via telephone, AFTN, facsimile or e-mail as appropriate; or
b. obtain approval from the first RVSM affected Center.
NOTE: The first Center will coordinate with the next Center.
c. include “APVD NON-RVSM” in Field 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan.
NOTE: Approval means able to operate in the RVSM stratum. Aircraft cruising levels will be sub-
ject to Air Traffic Control.
3.2.7 This approval process is intended exclusively for the purposes indicated above and not as
a means to circumvent the normal RVSM approval process.

3.3 STATE AIRCRAFT


3.3.1 Non-RVSM State aircraft may flight plan within Oakland, Anchorage, and Fukuoka air-
space without prior coordination. State aircraft should include in field 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan
(remarks): “STS/Military NON-RVSM” should be added to the remarks section of the flight plan.

3.4 DELIVERY FLIGHTS FOR AIRCRAFT THAT ARE RVSM COMPLIANT


ON DELIVERY
3.4.1 An aircraft that is RVSM compliant on delivery may operate in RVSM airspace provided
that the crew is trained on RVSM policies and procedures applicable in the airspace and the
responsible State issues the operator a letter of authorization approving the operation. State noti-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1159
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

fication to the PARMO should be in the form of a letter, e-mail or facsimile documenting the one-
time flight. The planned date of the flight, flight identification, registration number and aircraft type/
series should be included.

3.5 PROCEDURES FOR SUSPENSION OF RVSM


3.5.1 Air traffic services will consider suspending RVSM procedures within the affected FIR
when there are pilot reports of greater than moderate turbulence. Within areas where RVSM pro-
cedures are suspended, the vertical separation minimum between all aircraft will be 2000 feet.

5 SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES


The procedures detailed below, extracted from ICAO DOC 4444, have been adopted in the fol-
lowing Flight Information Regions:
– Australian Oceanic FIRs
– Anchorage Oceanic FIR
– Auckland Oceanic FIR / South Pacific Area
– Nadi FIR
– Oakland Oceanic FIR
Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures in 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 provide
for the more frequent cases such as:
a. the inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions;
b. enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow; and
c. the loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in an
airspace where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct of
flight operations, or pressurization failure.
The pilot shall take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft, and the pilot’s judge-
ment shall determine the sequence of actions to be taken, having regard to the prevailing circum-
stances. Air traffic control shall render all possible assistance.

5.1 GENERAL PROCEDURES


If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clear-
ance shall be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1162
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

If prior clearance cannot be obtained, the following contingency procedures should be employed
until a revised clearance is received. In general terms, the aircraft should be flown at an offset
level and on an offset track where other aircraft are less likely to be encountered. Specifically, the
pilot shall:
a. leave the cleared track or ATS route by initially turning at least 30 degrees to the right or to
the left, in order to establish and maintain a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset
5.0 NM (9.3km). The direction of the turn should be based on one or more of the following
factors:
1. aircraft position relative to any organized track or ATS route system;
2. the direction of flights and flight levels allocated on adjacent tracks;
3. the direction to an alternate airport;
4. any strategic lateral offset being flown; and
5. terrain clearance;
b. maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped),
leaving ACAS in RA mode at all times, unless aircraft operating limitations dictate otherwise;
c. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
d. keep the SSR transponder on at all times and, when able, squawk 7700, as appropriate
and, if equipped with ADS-B or ADS-C, select the appropriate emergency functionality;
e. as soon as practicable, advise air traffic control of any deviation from their assigned clear-
ance;
f. use means as appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a contingency
or emergency;
g. if voice communications are used, the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency
signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, shall be used, as appropriate;
h. when emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may respond via
CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with the aircraft;
i. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting on the frequencies
in use and at suitable intervals on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air
frequency 123.45 MHz): aircraft identification, the nature of the distress condition, intention
of the pilot, position (including the ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate)
and flight level; and
j. the controller should attempt to determine the nature of the emergency and ascertain any
assistance that may be required. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft shall
be based on the intentions of the pilot and overall traffic situation.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1163
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

5.2 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN ONCE OFFSET FROM TRACK


NOTE: The pilot’s judgement of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of the aircraft will
determine the actions outlined to be taken. Factors for the pilot to consider when deviating from
the cleared track or ATS route or level without an ATC clearance include, but are not limited to:
a. operation within a parallel track system;
b. the potential for user preferred routes (UPRs) parallel to the aircraft’s track or ATS route;
c. the nature of the contingency (e.g. aircraft system malfunction); and
d. weather factors (e.g. convective weather at lower flight levels).
If possible, maintain the assigned flight level until established on the 9.3km (5.0 NM) parallel,
same direction track or ATS route offset. If unable, initially minimize the rate of descent to the
extent that is operationally feasible.
Once established on a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset by 9.3km (5.0 NM),
either:
a. descend below FL290, and establish a 150m (500 ft) vertical offset from those flight levels
normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation or if an ATC clearance
has been obtained, in accordance with the clearance; or
NOTE 1: Flight levels normally used are those contained in Annex 2 — Rules of the Air,
Appendix 3 (See also ATC — ICAO RULES OF THE AIR — ANNEX 2 — Appendix 3 —
Tables of Cruising Levels).
NOTE 2: Descent below FL290 is considered particularly applicable to operations where
there is a predominant traffic flow (e.g. east-west) or parallel track system where the air-
craft’s diversion path will likely cross adjacent tracks or ATS routes. A descent below FL290
can decrease the likelihood of conflict with other aircraft, ACAS RA events and delays in
obtaining a revised ATC clearance.
b. establish a 150m (500 ft) vertical offset (or 300m (1000 ft) vertical offset if above FL410)
from those flight levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation,
or if an ATC clearance has been obtained, in accordance with the clearance.
NOTE: Altimetry system errors (ASE) may result in less than 150m (500 ft) vertical spacing
(less than 300m (1000 ft) above FL410) when the above contingency procedure is applied.

5.3 WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES


General
NOTE: The following procedures are intended for deviations around adverse meteorological con-
ditions.
When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice or
CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1164
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

b. requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.


When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDCL urgency downlink message.
The pilot shall inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather devi-
ation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
Actions To Be Taken When Controller-pilot Communications Are Established
The pilot should notify ATC and request clearance to deviate from track or ATS route, advising,
when possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever means are
appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a weather deviation.
NOTE: Pilots are advised to contact ATC as soon as possible with requests for clearance in order
to provide adequate time for the request to be assessed and acted upon.
ATC should take one of the following actions:
a. when appropriate separation can be applied, issue clearance to deviate from track; or
b. if there is conflicting traffic and ATC is unable to establish appropriate separation, ATC shall:
1. advise the pilot of inability to issue clearance for the requested deviation;
2. advise the pilot of conflicting traffic; and
3. request the pilot’s intentions.
The pilot should take the following actions:
a. comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
b. advise ATC of intentions and execute the procedures detailed as follows:
Actions To Be Taken If A Revised ATC Clearance Cannot Be Obtained
NOTE: The provisions of this section apply to situations where a pilot needs to exercise the
authority of a pilot-in-command under the provisions of Annex 2, 2.3.1. (See also ATC ICAO
RULES OF THE AIR — ANNEX 2 — 2.3.1 Responsibility of Pilot-in-Command).
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid adverse meteorological conditions and prior
clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time.
Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;

remain at a level assigned by ATC;
f. for deviations greater than, or equal to 9.3km (5.0 NM) from the originally cleared track or
ATS route, when the aircraft is approximately 9.3km (5.0 NM) from track, initiate a level
change in accordance with Table 1;
g. if the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or ATS route for a specified dis-
tance and, subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that dis-
tance, the pilot should apply an altitude offset in accordance with Table 1 before deviating
beyond the cleared distance;
h. when returning to track or ATS route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 9.3km (5.0 NM) of the centerline; and
i. if contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information.
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions above, the pilot determines that
there is another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then
the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

5.4 STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (SLOP)


NOTE 1: SLOP are approved procedures that allow aircraft to fly on a parallel track to the right of
the centerline relative to the direction of flight to mitigate the lateral overlap probability due to
increased navigation accuracy and wake turbulence encounters. Unless specified in the separa-
tion standard, an aircraft’s use of these procedures does not affect the application of prescribed
separation standards.
NOTE 2: Annex 2, 3.6.2.1.1 (See also ATC — ICAO RULES OF THE AIR — ANNEX 2 —
3.6.2.1.1), requires authorization for the application of strategic lateral offsets from the appropriate
ATS authority responsible for the airspace concerned.
Implementation of strategic lateral offset procedures shall be coordinated among the States
involved.
Strategic lateral offsets shall be authorized only in enroute airspace as follows:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1166
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

a. where the lateral separation minima or spacing between route centerlines is 28km (15 NM)
or more, offsets to the right of the centerline relative to the direction of flight in tenths of a
nautical mile up to a maximum of 3.7km (2 NM); and
b. where the lateral separation minima or spacing between route centerlines is 19km (10 NM)
or more and less than 28km (15 NM), while one aircraft climbs/descends through the level of
another aircraft, offsets to the right of the centerline relative to the direction of flight in tenths
of a nautical mile up to a maximum of 3.7km (2 NM); and
c. where the lateral separation minima or spacing between route centerlines is 11.1km (6 NM)
or more and less than 28km (15 NM), offsets to the right of the centerline relative to the
direction of flight in tenths of a nautical mile up to a maximum of 0.9km (0.5 NM).
The routes or airspace where application of strategic lateral offsets is authorized, and the proce-
dures to be followed by pilots, shall be promulgated in aeronautical information publications
(AIPs). In some instances, it may be necessary to impose restrictions on the use of strategic lat-
eral offsets, e.g. where their application may be inappropriate for reasons related to obstacle
clearance. Route conformance monitoring systems shall account for the application of SLOP.
The decision to apply a strategic lateral offset shall be the responsibility of the flight crew. The
flight crew shall only apply strategic lateral offsets in airspace where such offsets have been
authorized by the appropriate ATS authority and when the aircraft is equipped with automatic
offset tracking capability.
NOTE 1: Pilots may contact other aircraft on the inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz to
coordinate offsets.
NOTE 2: The strategic lateral offset procedure has been designed to include offsets to mitigate
the effects of wake turbulence of preceding aircraft. If wake turbulence needs to be avoided, an
offset to the right and within the limits specified above may be used.
NOTE 3: Pilots are not required to inform ATC that a strategic lateral offset is being applied.

FIJI DOMESTIC SECTOR


The Fiji Domestic Sector is divided into two classes of airspace:
a. Class D (controlled airspace); and
b. Class G (uncontrolled airspace).
The Fiji Domestic Sector is designated RVSM Airspace from FL290 to FL410.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


RNP AND RSVM PROCEDURES
In accordance with the ICAO Asia/Pacific Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional
Group's (APANPIRG) CNS/ATM implementation plan as well as Regional Supplementary Proce-
dures (Doc7030), Fiji implemented the 30 NM lateral and 30 NM longitudinal separation minima
(“30/30”) in the Nadi FIR Oceanic Airspace.
RNP approval is provided by the State of Registry or State of the Operator, as appropriate.
To be eligible for the application of RNP separation, aircraft must be:
a. RNP4 operationally approved; and
b. equipped with FANS-1/A; and
c. the crew trained in the use of ADS Contract (ADS-C) and CPDLC.
RNP compliance is indicated by inclusion of the letter “R” in field 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO
flight plan when any portion of the flight planned route passes through an active RNP designated
airspace.
RNP4 operational approval is granted by the State of Registry or State of the Operator. Fijian
operators must obtain an RNP4 Operational Certificate from CAAFI before undertaking RNP4
operations. Other operators should consult their relevant State authority. Guidelines for RNP4
operational approval have recently been included in the ICAO RNP Manual (Doc9613), Appendix
F.
Operators wishing to access 30/30 separation minima must annotate:
a. “J”, “R”, and “Z” in Item 10, Equipment; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1178
FIJI ISLANDS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. “D” in Item 10, Surveillance Equipment; and


c. “NAV/RNP4” in Item 18.
Minimum lateral/longitudinal separation between RNP10 aircraft is 50 NM and RNP4 aircraft is 30
NM as permitted by ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030). In all other cases,
100 NM lateral or time-based longitudinal separation will be applied.
RVSM approval is required for aircraft to operate within RVSM airspace; however, non-RVSM air-
craft (including VFR) may request entry in-flight on an ad hoc basis. The operator must determine
that the appropriate State Authority has approved the aircraft and that it will meet the RVSM
requirements for the filed route of flight and any planned alternate routes. The letter “W” must be
inserted in field 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO flight plan to indicate RVSM approved aircraft.
Non-RVSM civil aircraft may not flight plan between FL290 and FL410 inclusive within RVSM air-
space, except that aircraft unable to fly to an appropriate destination at or below FL280 or at or
above FL430 may, after special coordination, flight plan within the RVSM stratum provided the air-
craft:
a. is being delivered for initial acceptance, change of ownership, or lease; or
b. was formerly RVSM approved but has experienced an equipment failure and is being flown
to a maintenance facility for repair to meet RVSM requirements and/or obtain approval; or
c. is being utilized for mercy or humanitarian purposes.
Operators requesting approval for non-RVSM approved aircraft must:
a. If departing from within the Nadi FIR, obtain approval from the Nadi ATM Centre by tele-
phone, normally not more than twelve hours and not less than four hours prior to ETD; or
b. If transiting the Nadi FIR, notify the Nadi ATM Centre after an approval is obtained from the
first affected center and prior to departure.
Minimum ATC separation between RVSM aircraft is 1000 ft. In all other cases between non-
RVSM aircraft or between a non-RVSM and an RVSM aircraft 2000 ft vertical separation will be
applied.
The following RNAV routes within the Nadi Oceanic FIR are RNP 10: A577, A578, A579, A580,
A584, A597, B450, B452, B474, B577, B578, B580, B581, B586, B590, B598, B599, B601, B602,

PACIFIC RVSM OFFSET PROCEDURES


The special procedures listed below are applicable to mitigate wake turbulence or distracting air-
craft system alerts (e.g. ACAS, Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) in Asia and Pacific
airspace) where RVSM is applied.
An aircraft that encounters wake turbulence or experiences distracting aircraft system alerts must
notify ATC and request a revised clearance change to avoid the condition. However, in situations
where such a revised clearance is not possible or practicable, the pilot may initiate the following
temporary lateral offset procedure with the intention of returning to track as soon as practicable:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1179
FIJI ISLANDS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. the pilot should establish contact with other aircraft, if possible, on the appropriate VHF inter-
pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz; and
b. one (or both) aircraft may initiate lateral offset(s), not to exceed 2 NM from the assigned
track, provided that:
1. as soon as practicable to do so, the offsetting aircraft notify ATC that temporary lateral
offset action has been taken and specify the reason for doing so (ATC will not normally
respond); and
2. the offsetting aircraft notify ATC when re-established on assigned route(s) or track(s).
In these contingency circumstances, ATC will not issue clearances for lateral offsets and will not
normally respond to actions taken by the pilots.

STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET IN THE NADI FIR AIRSPACE


The following procedures should be adhered to when applying offsets in the Nadi FIR:
a. Offsets are applied only in the Oceanic Airspace of the Nadi FIR by aircraft with automatic
offset tracking capability; and
b. The decision to apply a Strategic Lateral Offset is the responsibility of the flight crew; and
c. The offset shall be established at a distance of one or two nautical miles to the right of the
centerline relative to the direction of flight; and
d. The Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure has been designed for offsets to the right of the cen-
terline relative to the direction of flight in tenths of a nautical mile up to a maximum of 2 NM;
and
e. Pilots are not required to inform ATC that an offset is being applied.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)


The VHF RTF frequency to be used will be promulgated by NOTAM, however, in the case of tem-
porary disruption occurring in controlled airspace, the VHF RTF frequency to be used within the
limits of that airspace will be the primary frequency used for the provision of an air traffic control
service within that airspace.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE UNDER TIBA


If, on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediate
action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk to his aircraft, and this cannot be achieved
in accordance with the standard right-of-way provisions, the pilot should:
a. unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 300 ft if
above FL290, or 500 ft if at or below FL290; and
b. display all available aircraft lighting that would improve the visual detection of the aircraft;
and
c. as soon as possible, reply to the broadcast notifying action being taken on the appropriate
TIBA frequency; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1180
FIJI ISLANDS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

d. as soon as practicable, resume normal flight level/altitude, notifying the action on the appro-
priate TIBA frequency.

ATS COMMUNICATION FAILURE — NADI FIR


In the event of communication failures from ATS, the pilot of an aircraft should initiate TIBA proce-
dures.
In the event of communication failures from Nadi ATS, the following procedures shall apply:
a. Datalink failure: Revert to HF communications; or
b. Total Comms Failure: Auckland Radio will provide communications and relay with NADI
ATS.

ATS SURVEILLANCE AND PROCEDURES


GENERAL
Services Provided
ATS RADAR (Surveillance) services are provided by means of Automatic Dependent Surveil-
lance-Broadcast (ADS-B).
Pilots should note that a radar flight information service cannot provide collision avoidance infor-
mation on aircraft that:
a. do not have an operating ADS-B transponder; and
b. inadvertently penetrate transponder mandatory airspace beyond the range of the ADS-B.
Limitations of service will be advised by NOTAM.

ponder may discontinue updates to ETA and enroute position reports:
a. over designated reporting points and navigation aids;
b. on reaching or leaving assigned levels;
c. when transmitting full reports after changing frequency to a new ATC unit or sector.
All other position reports are required.
Aircraft without serviceable MODE C are required to carry out all standard altitude reporting pro-
cedures.

POSITION REPORTING ON DEPARTURE


At Nadi and Nausori Airports, where approach control is provided by Nadi Control (Radar), pilots
are required to report airborne as soon as practicable after take-off. Airborne reports must contain
the following information in the order listed:
a. identification: report radio callsign; and
b. altitude: report altitude to the nearest 100 ft followed by the phrase “CLIMBING TO” followed
by the cleared altitude or flight level of the initial portion of the flight.

POSITION REPORTING UNDER IFR — NADI FIR


GENERAL
The pilot of an aircraft flying in accordance with IFR must comply with the position reporting pro-
cedures detailed below:
a. After any frequency change, when no position report is required in accordance with the fol-
lowing procedures, pilots must advise callsign and cruise level or callsign and level climbing/
descending to; and
b. Except when aircraft are maintaining an ATC required speed, any variation of average true
airspeed, between reporting points, of plus or minus five percent must be notified to ATC as
soon as possible; and
c. When it becomes apparent that an estimate previously submitted is in error by in excess of
two minutes, pilots must immediately report to ATC a corrected estimate for the next signifi-
cant point. This does not apply when reporting position via ADS-C.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES — NADI FIR


The pilot of an aircraft flying within the Nadi FIR must maintain vertical position by reference to the
standard pressure value of 1013.2 hPa, except that:
a. Within the Nadi, New Caledonia and Vanuatu QNH Zones vertical position must be main-
tained by reference to the Zone QNH. The pilot of an aircraft landing and taking off must use
the appropriate airport QNH.
b. Where the airport or heliport of destination or departure is not within a QNH Zone (e.g. at
Funafuti), aircraft should use the appropriate airport QNH value when at or below 11,000 ft
within 100 NM of the shoreline of the landmass on which the destination or departure airport
or heliport is situated.
Aircraft entering the Fiji Domestic Sector are required to remain on 1013.2 hPa to the CTA boun-
dary and then comply with the altimeter setting procedures detailed below.
Aircraft entering the Nadi FIR from Fiji Domestic Sector, must, if on QNH, change to 1013.2 hPa
at the CTA boundary.

ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURE — FIJI DOMESTIC SECTOR


Within Fiji Domestic Sector the pilot of an aircraft cruising:
a. At or above the transition level of FL130 must maintain vertical position by reference to the
standard pressure value of 1013.2 hPa; and
b. At or below the transition altitude of 11,000 ft must maintain vertical position by reference to
the QNH altimeter setting.
The pilot of an aircraft climbing or descending must:
a. when climbing above 11,000 ft, set the altimeter to 1013.2 hPa; and
b. when descending through FL130, set the altimeter to the appropriate area or airport QNH.
The transition layer, between 11,000 ft and FL130, can only be used for ascending or descending,
or for cruising provided the aircraft has ATS approval. When cruising between 11,000 ft and the
transition level of FL130, the pilot must maintain vertical position by reference to the altimeter set-
ting as advised by ATC.

PERFORMANCE-BASED COMMUNICATION AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS) WITHIN


THE NADI FIR
Fiji has implemented Performance-Based Communication and Surveillance (PBCS) in accord-
ance with the ICAO provisions to support the Performance-Based reduced horizontal separation
minima application using data link.
Fijian registered air operators and private operators will be required to obtain a Fiji Letter of
Authorization (LOA) for Required Communications Performance specification (RCP 240) and
Required Surveillance Performance specification (RSP 180) from CAAF in order to be eligible for
PBCS reduced separation standards within the Nadi FIR.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1183
FIJI ISLANDS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

The PBCS provision applies RCP 240 and RSP 180 specifications to the application of 55.5km
(30 NM) and 93km (50 NM) longitudinal separation minima and application of a 55.5km (30 NM)
lateral separation minimum.
There will be no introduction of any new airspace separations with the introduction of PBCS. How-
ever, existing application of performance-based reduced separation standards, as per ICAO DOC
4444, will, as of March 29, 2018, become subject to PBCS authorization of participating aircraft
within the Nadi Flight Information Region (FlR).
This affects the following separations currently in use:
– 30 NM lateral; and
– 30 NM and 50 NM longitudinal.
Aircraft operators conducting flights in the Nadi FIR, where separations are dependent on Per-
formance-Based Communication and Surveillance (PBCS), shall start using RCP/RSP indicators
in their flight plans as soon as possible, however, no later than March 29, 2018.
The application of existing and planned RNAV- and RNP-based 50 NM and 30 NM longitudinal
and 30 NM lateral separation minima shall continue, subject to the conditions that:
a. PBCS monitoring is in place; and
b. Performance-based horizontal separation using PBCS designators in flight plans is imple-
mented as soon as practically possible.
For details of PBCS, refer to Jeppesen ATC — “Performance-Based Communication and Surveil-
lance (PBCS) – DOC 9869”.

MANDATORY BROADCAST ZONES (MBZ)


MBZ are established to provide increased protection to aircraft in areas of uncontrolled airspace
where high density or special operations may occur.
A pilot is required to transmit position and intention reports on specified frequency at entry, exit
and at least every 5 minutes (unless varied) while operating within the MBZ. As an extra safety
measure landing lights or anti-collision lights must be used when fitted.
Non-radio (NORDO) aircraft must not enter a MBZ unless they have another station, such as an
ATS unit or an aircraft, broadcasting the required reports on their behalf.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


French criteria for instrument flight procedures design stem from ICAO Document 8168, Volume
III (PANS-OPS). General criteria are very similar but some differences exist for specific proce-
dures. Procedures may also be designed in accordance with the criteria set in ICAO Document
8168 Volume II (PANS-OPS) or in ICAO Document NR 9905 (RNP-AR Manual).
When an aircraft has been allotted landing number one and when it is known that it is making use
of the QFE to end its approach, the position of this aircraft in the vertical plane is expressed as a
function of its height in relation to the QFE reference level during that part of the flight during
which the QFE may be used, essentially during final approach. This height is expressed in rela-
tion to the altitude of the airport. However, in the case of an IFR approach, height is expressed in
relation to the elevation of the runway threshold:
– for all precision approaches;
– for all non precision approaches when the threshold is more than 2m (7') below the airport ele-
vation.
Selection of the altimeter settings used during the missed approach procedure depends on
whether the procedure can or cannot be carried out below the transition altitude.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1188
FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

PBN Procedures
The PBN approach procedures published in IAC charts are either nonprecision approaches
(LNAV) approaches with vertical guidance (LNAVVNAV and LPV) or precision approaches (LPV
200 ft). They are identified with the “RPN RWY xx” title and with the associated minimum box.
They are defined using criteria complying with those of ICAO PANS-OPS.
To follow a PBN approach procedure (intermediate, final and missed approach), the aircraft must
be equipped with a navigation system certified in compliance with the RNP specification (APCH)
of the ICAO Doc 9613, “PBN Manual”.
PBN Procedures in Terminal Area Published with the “RNP-1” Mention

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES WITHIN TAHITI RNP AIRSPACE
TAHITI Oceanic FIR is declared “RNP airspace” within vertical limits FL245 and FL600.
Performance Based Communications and Surveillance (PBCS) is applied in the RNP airspace of
TAHITI Oceanic FIR for the application of reduced performance based separation standards. To
be eligible FANS1/A datalink equipped aircraft must achieve Required Communications Perform-
ance (RCP240) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP180) standards. For details of
PBCS refer to Jeppesen ATC-Chapter — PERFORMANCE BASED COMMUNICATION AND
SURVEILLANCE (PBCS) — DOC 9869.
In order to access ATC reduced separation in RNP certified airspace, aircraft must be certified
RCP240 and RSP180, and operators practicing in the designated area must have obtained an
operational approval or an acknowledgment of receipt of the PBCS file by their State of Registry.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1190
FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Aircraft operators using FANS1/A CPDLC and ADS-C in the TAHITI Oceanic FIR shall register on
the FANS Central Reporting Agency (CRA) website at http:/www.fans-cra.com and participate in
the regional monitoring and problem reporting programs.
Aircraft operators wishing to access 30/30 separation minima must indicate in their flight plan the
navigation and surveillance equipment available on board.
Subject to the availability of the conditions of surveillance (ADS-C connection active), of direct
communication Pilot/Controller (HF, VHF or CPDLC) and of navigation requirements required
(RNP), minimum lateral and longitudinal separation applicable is 30 NM between two aircraft. A
lateral and longitudinal of 50 NM separation of 50 NM will be applied between an RNP4 aircraft
and a RNP10 aircraft or between two RNP10 aircraft. In all other cases, 100 NM lateral or time-
based longitudinal separation will be applied.
When aircraft are unable to meet RNP criteria, pilots must advise ATC:
a. 30 minutes prior to entry to RNP airspace; or
b. immediately, when within 30 min of, or within RNP airspace.
ATC will endeavour to accommodate aircraft not meeting RNP criteria within the designated air-
space. Aircraft meeting RNP4 will be given priority over aircraft not meeting RNP4 criteria, subject
to the traffic disposition.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REDUCED LATERAL AND LONGITUDINAL SEPARATION


MINIMA IN TAHITI FIR
This is to inform air users of the implementation of reduced separations of 30 NM, both lateral and
longitudinal, between RNP4 certified aircraft in Tahiti FIR between FL245 and FL600.
For Tahiti FIR, the implementation of this reduction of separation minima is the last step in the
process of regional integration in order to meet ICAO requirements for continuous operation
between FIR.
Please note that RNP10 and non-RNP flights can still operate in Tahiti FIR between FL245 and
FL600 but will not benefit in this airspace from reduced 30 NM lateral and longitudinal separa-
tions.
General
French Polynesia implements reduced lateral separations of 30 NM/longitudinal separations of
30 NM between RNP4 approved aircraft between FL245 and FL600 in Tahiti FIR, in line with the
separation minima applicable at the same flight levels in adjacent FIR.
In order to benefit from ATC reduced separation of 30 NM, both lateral and longitudinal in Tahiti
FIR between FL245 and FL600, aircraft operators must have RNP4 capacity in accordance with
the provisions prescribed by their supervisory authority.

Flight Planning and ATC Procedures


Filing of Flight Plan
Aircraft operators wishing to benefit from ATC reduced separation of 30 NM, both lateral and lon-
gitudinal will need to pay extra attention when filling in items 10a, 10b and 18 of their flight plan
and must also mention RNP, CPDLC and ADS-C capability.
ATC Procedures
Depending on the availability of:
– surveillance conditions (active ADS-C connection);
– direct Pilot/Controller communications (HF, VHF or CPDLC);
– and onboard navigation requirements (RNP10 or RNP4, RSP180 and RCP240);
the relevant minimum lateral and longitudinal separation will be:
– either 30 NM between two aircraft with RNP4 capabilities;
– or 50 NM whenever:
• aircraft have RNP10 capability; or
• one aircraft has RNP10 capability and the other has RNP4.
In-flight Procedures
When an aircraft is no longer able to meet RNP criteria, the pilot-in-command should notify ATC:
a. 30 minutes before entering the airspace where the RNP criteria apply; or
b. immediately, when the impossibility of meeting the RNP criteria is detected:
– less than 30 minutes before entering the airspace where the RNP criteria apply, or
– inside this airspace.

POSITION REPORTING IN TAHITI OCEANIC FIR


General
When on ATS routes, the pilot must report position at compulsory reporting points and waypoints.
The pilot must also report position at intersection waypoints where these are used in the route
field of the flight plan.
Aircraft that have deviated off-track are to report abeam any reporting point or waypoint.
Additional position reports are to be transmitted as requested by ATC.
Using Voice
When reporting using voice the AIREP form of report is to be used.
When on ATS routes, aircraft must transmit sections 1 & 3 at designated compulsory ATS/MET
reporting points and waypoints (designated by a black triangle in a square), and section 1 of the
AIREP at other designated compulsory reporting points and waypoints.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1192
FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

When on uncharted routes, aircraft must transmit section 1 of the AIREP at all fixes defining the
route.
Means of Communication
In Tahiti OCA, means of communication are the following:
– CPDLC: as primary means for data link equipped aircraft (FANS 1/A);
– Direct HF:
i) as primary means for non data link equipped aircraft, and;
ii) as backup communication medium if CPDLC failed.
– VHF when in Tahiti VHF coverage areas.
– SATCOM:
i) When an aircraft is unable to establish or re-establish contact with the ATC by the means
mentioned above will use SATCOM voice for non-routine and safety related situations.
Variation in True Airspeed
Except when aircraft are maintaining an ATC required mach number, any variation of average
true airspeed, between reporting points, of plus or minus five per cent shall be notified to ATC as
soon as possible.
Revisions of Estimates
Except when reporting position via ADS, pilots must report immediately to ATC a corrected esti-
mate for the next significant point at any time, it becomes apparent that an estimate previously
submitted is in error in excess of 2 minutes.

DATA LINK SERVICES PROVIDED WITHIN TAHITI FIR


Data Link Services provided by Tahiti Center within FIR NTTT.
FANS 1/A Data Link Operations are in accordance with regional agreements and ICAO standards
defined for provision of Data Link Services.
Air Traffic Services Data Link Operations
ATS Data Link Operations are provided within Class A, D, E and G airspaces.
The ATS Data Link applications, which use the SITA SAT, will be addressed to FANS 1/A equip-
ped aircraft.
Flight crews using these Data Link facilities must be trained in the use of Data Link equipment to
a level approved by the State of Registry.
Receipt of a Logon Request will notify ATC that flight crews meet this requirement.
The Data Link applications supported by Tahiti ground system TIARE are Controller Pilot Data
Link Communications (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1193
FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Before ADS and CPDLC connections can be established with Tahiti ATC Center, an initial
AFN_LOGON must be performed by the pilot in accordance with company procedures. This is
achieved by sending the AFN Contact message (FN_CON) to the ground system.
Logon Procedures
ATS Designator
The Tahiti ICAO Facility designation is: NTTT.
The Tahiti ACARS Address is: PPTCDYA.
Initial Logon (Pilot Initiated)
From aircraft proceeding inbound to Tahiti FIR from a non-CPDLC capable FIR or departing from
airports in Tahiti, ATC will accept 1st LOGON between 15 minutes and 45 minutes prior to enter-
ing FIR NTTT.
Nevertheless Tahiti ATC requests initial LOGON at the earliest 30 minutes prior to Estimate FIR
Boundary or for departing traffic at any time after passing FL100 or as instructed by ATC.
Address Forwarding Process
OUTBOUND TRAFFIC
Aircraft departing Tahiti airspace to an adjoining CPDLC capable FIR can expect to be address
forwarded to that FIR prior to crossing FIR boundary.
This process is achieved in accordance with local agreement with the adjacent ATS Unit.
INBOUND TRAFFIC
For inbound flights from upstream Data Link equipped centers, Tahiti requirements are as follows:
– Connection Management Requirement: LOGON is required at the earliest 35 minutes prior to
Estimate FIR Boundary;
– CPDLC Connection Transfer: required at least 5 minutes prior to Transfer of Control Point
(TCP) unless otherwise coordinated;
– Crossing FIR Boundary: Tahiti requests voice communication instruction as follows: “MONI-
TOR NTTT CENTER [Frequency]*”
(*Frequencies as those assigned during Coordination)
And one CPDLC position report.
Aircraft filing a SELCAL Code in FPL Item 18 will be assumed to have serviceable SELCAL
and be maintaining a SELCAL watch on the HF frequency advised in the monitor instruction
passed by the transferring CPDLC authority.

FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Application CPDLC
General
CPDLC will be the primary means of communications between ATC and FANS 1/A equipped air-
craft.
Voice will be used as the backup communications medium.
The provision of Pre Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC to departing aircraft is not available.
Controller/Pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC must be closed by CPDLC.
Message Restrictions
Tahiti requires not to use element “CRUISE [altitude]” in CPDLC messages.
Position Reporting
Tahiti requires an initial CPDLC [position report] at FIR Boundary entry point then ADS reporting
only.
ADS Application
Pilots must ensure that ADS is left armed during flight progression within Tahiti FIR.
ADS Contracts will be established automatically upon successful Logon.
The Vertical Rate Change event contract is not used by Tahiti.
The default rate of Periodic Contract is set to 14 minutes in all airspaces of the Tahiti FIR.
Following initial CPDLC position report on first contact, ADS reporting will fulfil normal position
reporting requirements within the FIR.
Neither CPDLC nor Voice position reports will be required while ADS is operational.

AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST (ADS-B)


An aircraft carrying 1090 MHz extended squitter (1090ES) ADS-B equipment shall disable ADS-B
transmission in the Tahiti FIR unless:
a. The aircraft emits position information of an accuracy and integrity consistent with the trans-
mitted value of the position quality indicator; or
b. The aircraft always transmits a value of 0 (zero) for one or more of the position quality indica-
tors (NUCp, NIC, NACp, or SIL); or
c. The operator has received an exemption granted by the appropriate ATS authority (the State
service of civil aviation in French Polynesia – SEAC/PF); or
d. If this does not result in loss of information on the position and identity of the aircraft.
Certification of the on-board equipment providing the ADS-B OUT function according to one of the

RULES AND PROCEDURES

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


An aircraft approaching an airport under IFR for the purpose of making a landing shall conform to
the holding and instrument approach procedures for the radio navigation aid employed as prescri-
bed in the appropriate terminal charts. Where procedures have not been prescribed, airline opera-
tors will submit such approach procedures to the Chief Executive Officer of Civil Aviation Authority
of Malaysia. Operators must accept full responsibility for such procedures and for the accuracy of
any charts on which they are portrayed.
When an aircraft making an instrument approach by day establishes continuous visual reference
with the ground or water above the minimum altitude, it may discontinue instrument approach.
The pilot-in-command shall be solely responsible for ensuring obstacle clearance from the time
visual flight is assumed. In all cases ATC approval shall be obtained.

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


Except for visibility published for Circle-to-Land on selected procedures, Malaysia does not pub-
lish State Airport Operating Minimums on procedures designed to the new PANS-OPS. For these
procedures Malaysia publishes Obstacle Clearance Altitudes (Heights) [OCA(H)].
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.

ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATION


Airspace classification have been applied in conformity with ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices, except two-way communications is required also for aircraft in Class G airspace.
Where ATS airspace adjoin vertically, i.e. one above the other, flight at a common level would
comply with requirements of, and be given services applicable to, the less restrictive class of air-
space. Example: Class B airspace shall be considered less restrictive than Class A airspace.
Classes of airspace D, E and F are not used in Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu FIRs.

PERFORMANCE-BASED COMMUNICATION AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS)


The PBCS concept provides a framework to apply RCP and RSP specifications to ensure the
acceptable communication and surveillance capabilities and performance of an operational
system.
Operator should continue to use CPDLC and ADS-C in accordance with policies established by
the State of Registry or State of the Operator.
Operator obtaining approval in accordance with National regulations (State of the Operator or
State of Registry) should ensure that the procedures, system and services in operations and
maintenance programs meet the allocated criteria interoperability standards and RCP/RSP speci-
fications.
Separation Minima
A Performance-Based Longitudinal Separation minima of 50 NM may be applied between RNP10
approved aircraft on ATS routes N571, P574, P627, L645, P628 and L510 which either LOGON
to CPDLC or are within VHF radio range as the primary means of communication.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1200

OPERATING PROCEDURES WITHIN CLASS G AIRSPACE IN KOTA KINABALU FIR
TIBA Frequency
For Kota Kinabalu FIS, the VHF RTF frequency 133.3 MHz is designated as TIBA frequency to be
used for broadcasts. For Kuching FIS, the VHF RTF frequency 134.75 MHz is designated as
TIBA frequency to be used for broadcasts.
Where VHF is used for air-ground communications with ATS and an aircraft has only two service-
able VHF sets, one should be tuned to the appropriate ATS frequency and the other to the TIBA
frequency.
Listening Watch
A listening watch shall be maintained on the TIBA frequency 3 minutes before entering Class G
airspace until leaving this airspace. For an aircraft taking off from any location within Class G air-

Changes of Cruising Level
Cruising level changes should not be made within the Class G airspace, unless considered nec-
essary by pilots to avoid traffic conflicts, for weather avoidance or for other valid operational rea-
sons.
When cruising level changes are unavoidable, all available aircraft lighting which would improve
the visual detection of the aircraft should be displayed while changing levels.
Collision Avoidance
If, on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediate
action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk, and this cannot be achieved in accordance
with the right-of-way provisions of Annex 2, the pilot should:
a. unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend or climb
500 ft;
b. display all available aircraft lighting which would improve the visual detection of the aircraft;
c. as soon as possible, reply to the broadcast advising action being taken;
d. notify the action taken on the appropriate ATS frequency; and
e. as soon as practicable, resume normal flight level, notifying the action on the appropriate

RNP 10 NAVIGATION REQUIREMENTS


Introduction
ATC will apply 50 NM longitudinal separation minima between suitably equipped aircraft which
are approved for RNP 10 operations and FANS 1/A compatible aircraft (which are compliant to
RCTA DO-258A or ED EUROCAE 100A) on RNAV routes in which fall within the Kuala Lumpur
FIRs:
a. L510 – between EMRAN and GIVAL
b. N571 – between IGOGU and VAMPI
c. P574 – between NOPEK and ANSAX
d. P628 – between IGREX and GIVAL
Pilots are to advise ATC of any deterioration or failure of navigation system below the navigation
requirements for RNP 10 or failure of its data link airborne equipment. ATC shall where appropri-
ate provide alternate separation and/or alternative routing.
Pilots of aircraft meeting RNP 10 navigation requirements are to indicate ‘R’ in Item 10 of the
ICAO Flight Plan.
Longitudinal Separation Minima
10 minutes or 80 NM RNAV distance based separation based on Mach Number Technique (MNT)
between RNP 10 equipped aircraft shall be applied between aircraft.
50 NM longitudinal separation will be applied only between RNP 10 approved aircraft equipped
with FANS 1/A which successfully able to LOGON to Kuala Lumpur CPDLC (WMFC) when out-
side VHF coverage; or where a direct controller pilot communication (DCPC) exists.
Differential Mach Number Technique (MNT) separation minima shall not be applied for RNAV dis-
tance based 80/50 NM.
The mixed mode of 80 NM and 50 NM RNAV distance based longitudinal separation and 10
minutes time based separation minima shall be in practice until such time the DCPC requirements
are fully met in the area under consideration.
15 minutes time based separation shall be applicable between aircraft on crossing tracks.

Operations by Aircraft Not Meeting RNP 10 Requirements


An aircraft that is unable to meet the minimum navigational requirements for RNP 10 must file
flight plan at or below the minimum flight level of the route. However operations of these aircraft
above the minimum level will be subject to ATC approval, and in accordance with the provisions
of paragraph below and if not approved, will be required to file a flight plan to operate via alternate
route.
ATC units receiving a request for a non-RNP 10 approved aircraft to operate on ATS routes
specified in the paragraphs above, at or above FL280, will coordinate with adjacent ATC units
affected by the flight. In deciding whether or not to approve the flight, each ATC unit will take into
consideration:
a. Traffic density;
b. Communications, including non-availability of normal communication facilities;
c. Weather conditions enroute;
d. Restrictions notified from time to time for the route;
e. Other factors pertinent at that time.

STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF


WAKE TURBULENCE OF PRECEDING AIRCRAFT IN NON-RADAR OCEANIC
AIRSPACE WITHIN KUALA LUMPUR FIR
These offsets are only applicable in the non-radar oceanic airspace within the Kuala Lumpur FIR
along the following route segments:
a. P628 between GIVAL and IGREX
b. L510 between GIVAL and EMRAN
c. N571 between VAMPI and IGOGU
d. P574 between ANSAX and NOPEK

ECONOMICAL DESCENT SPEED WITHIN KUALA LUMPUR AND KOTA KINABALU


FIRS
Unless a speed restriction is issued by ATC, flight crews shall plan their “top of descent” based on
270 kt KIAS. They are also expected to observe subsequent speed restrictions, if any, that may
apply for individual airports.
Should alternative speed instructions be imposed for the purposes of traffic separation and
sequencing, ATC will, as far as practicable, provide those speed instructions prior to “top of
descent”.
NOTE: This may not be possible if the “top of descent” occurs when the aircraft is not within a
Malaysian ATC unit’s area of responsibility. In such situations, alternative speed restrictions will
be issued as soon as practicable upon establishing contact with the Malaysian ATC unit.

ADS-C/CPDLC OPERATIONAL SERVICES WITHIN BAY OF BENGAL IN KUALA


LUMPUR FIR
Data link services are available to FANS 1/A compatible aircraft (which are compliant to RTCA

basis;

N571
P574
P627
L645
P628
B466
L510

The introduction of data link services does not affect current procedures for non data link equip-
ped aircraft operating in the same airspace.
Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance
(ADS) data link applications will be used to provide services to FANS 1/A equipped aircraft, in
particular over the Bay of Bengal beyond the range of existing radar and VHF voice communica-
tions.
The use of CPDLC in Kuala Lumpur FIR is not mandatory and conducted at the discretion of the
controllers and aircrews involved. Aircrews are encouraged to use CPDLC to the maximum extent
possible, as alternative communication means, also to ease the R/T frequency load.
Messages will be transferred by VHF and satellite data link.
Logon Procedures
The AFN LOGON address for the Kuala Lumpur FIR is WMFC.
To avoid automatic rejection of the LOGON, the flight identification number used by the pilot in the
LOGON process must be identical to the flight identification number filed in the flight plan.
A LOGON must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initiated by
the ground system. This is achieved via the ATS facility notification (AFN) LOGON process to be
initiated by the pilot. Aircraft requesting data link services inbound to Kuala Lumpur FIR are
required to LOGON onto WMFC at least 10 minutes prior to the estimated time for entering Kuala
Lumpur FIR.
Data link equipped aircraft departing from airports within the Kuala Lumpur FIR and requesting
data link may LOGON to WMFC prior to departure. Pilots who are unable to establish a data link
connection are to inform ATC on VHF or HF RTF.
NOTE: Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC is not available.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1208
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

CPDLC Procedures
Aircraft that have established data link communications may transmit their position reports by
CPDLC instead of HF RTF.
Lumpur Radar frequency (133.4 MHz/124.525 MHz/125.775 MHz) will be used as primary back
up frequency for CPDLC. Primary and secondary HF frequencies (5670 kHz/6556 kHz/11285
kHz) shall continue to be backup communication for the entire airspace.
To ensure the correct synchronization of messages, controller/pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC
must be closed by CPDLC. Controller/pilot dialogues opened by voice must be closed by voice.
Due to inherent integrity checks and a coded reference to any preceding related message con-
tained within CPDLC messages, a clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate
CPDLC response, not a read-back as would be required if the clearance had been issued by
voice.
The down link response “WILCO” indicates that the pilot accepts the full terms of the whole uplink
message.
A down link response “AFFIRM” is not an acceptable acknowledgement or reply to a CLEAR-
ANCE issued by CPDLC.
To avoid ambiguity in message handling and response, a CPDLC downlink message should not
contain more than one clearance request.
If multiple clearance requests are contained in a single downlink message and the controller
cannot approve all requests, the uplink message element “UNABLE” will be sent as a response to
the entire message. A separate message containing a response to those requests that can be
complied with will be sent by the controller.
If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarification must be sought by
voice.
Standard pre-formatted message elements must be used whenever possible. Free text messages
should be used only when an appropriate pre-formatted message element does not exist or to
supplement the pre-formatted message element. The use of free text should be kept to a mini-
mum.
When CPDLC connection is established, aircraft will be instructed to transfer from voice to
CPDLC.
The phraseology used is:
TRANSFER TO LUMPUR CONTROL ON DATA LINK [position];
MONITOR [VHF (Frequencies) ALTERNATE HF Primary/secondary (Frequencies)]
Pilots should then down link a CPDLC position report.
CPDLC Termination
CPDLC connections will be terminated at the FIR boundary position or when entering radar cover-
age. The CONTACT [unit name][frequency] message and the END SERVICE message will be
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1209
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

sent as separate messages. The END SERVICE message will be sent as soon as possible after
receipt of the WILCO response to the CONTACT message.
In cases where the next FIR provide data link services; a Next Data Authority message will be
sent out 30 minutes prior crossing the FIR boundary. Transfer of communication shall be comple-
ted at the FIR boundary.
In cases where the next FIR does not have data link services, CPDLC connections will be termi-
nated at the FIR boundary position.
ADS Procedures
ADS Periodic contracts will be established automatically on receipt of a LOGON. The Periodic
reporting rate is as follows:
a. In Low Traffic Density Area (LTDA) is 300 seconds (5 minutes); and
b. In Medium Traffic Density Area (MTDA) is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
The introduction of ADS application does not affect the current position report procedures.
ADS contracts will be automatically terminated at a system parameter time after aircraft has left
Kuala Lumpur FIR.
Data Link Failure
Pilots recognizing a failure of a CPDLC connection must immediately establish communications
on the appropriate voice frequency. When voice communications have been established, voice
must continue to be used as the primary medium until a CPDLC connection has been re-estab-
lished and the controller has authorized the return to data link.
In the event of an expected CPDLC shutdown, the controller will immediately advise all data link
connected aircraft of the failure by voice. Instructions will continue to be issued by voice until the
return of the data link system. The return of the system to an operational state will require a new
AFN LOGON from the affected aircraft.

IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE (ADS-B) OUT IN


MALAYSIA
Introduction
The upgrading and modernization of Malaysia’s air traffic services is in progress under two sepa-
rate projects; namely, the construction of a new Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre Complex
near Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Project and the upgrading of CNS/ATM Systems
in Kota Kinabalu (KK) Flight Information Region (FIR) encompassing Sabah and Sarawak Project.
The two said projects are expected to be completed at the end of 2019.
As part of the modernization program mentioned above, Malaysia plans to introduce ADS-B serv-
ices within parts of Kuala Lumpur FIR (KL FIR) and Kota Kinabalu FIR.
The ADS-B OUT implementation is aimed to extend the ATC surveillance services for Category R
and Category S enroute airspace not covered by conventional surveillance services and providing
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1210
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

redundancy where radar surveillance is already available. The use of ADS-B in the provision of
Air Traffic Services will be introduced in a phased manner.
The operational date for KL FIR ADS-B implementation will be notified by NOTAM.
Phase 1 (31 December 2019)
The surveillance of enroute ATS routes air traffic within certain parts of Kuala Lumpur FIR not
covered by radar surveillance will be implemented. Malaysia plans to mandate the compulsory
requirement for aircraft to carry serviceable ADS-B on 31 December 2019 when operating on ATS
routes N571, P628, L510, P627, L645 and P574 at FL290 to FL410 within airspace bounded by
Kuala Lumpur FIR boundary.
Phase 2 (December 2022)
Under this phase ADS-B will be used as the secondary means of enroute surveillance within the
Kuala Lumpur FIR in addition to radar surveillance.
Phase 3 (December 2022)
Under this phase the installation of ADS-B stations will be used as the secondary means of
enroute surveillance within the Kota Kinabalu FIR in addition to radar surveillance.
Phase 4 (2025)
Under this phase ADS-B will be implemented as the primary means of enroute airspace surveil-
lance.
The use of ADS-B to enhance and improve the provision of surveillance and separation of aircraft
will only be carried out after the quality of data, probability of detection, accuracy, integrity, availa-
bility and coverage area, including communications, have been determined.
Aircraft Operator Approval
The ADS-B equipment must be of an approved type meeting the specifications of ICAO Annex 10
(Volume IV) or has been certified as meeting any of the following standards:
a. EASA AMC 20-24 or latest;
b. FAA AC No. 20-165 — Airworthiness Approval of ADS-B or latest;
c. Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia, CASA Standard (the equipment configuration
standards in Appendix XI of Civil Aviation Order 20.18 dated August 2012 and any amend-
ment thereof) or latest; or
Aircraft operator must have the relevant ADS-B operational approval from the State of Registry.
Flight Planning Requirements
An appropriate ADS-B designator shall be entered in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan:
a. B1 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” capability
b. B2 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” and “in” capability.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Instrument holding, approach, and departure procedures in New Zealand are designed using cri-
teria contained in ICAO Document 8168 — PANS-OPS VOL II.

CONTAINMENT WITHIN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


Controlled airspace may not totally contain the navigational tolerances associated with holding,
approach, and departure procedures at controlled airports.
Minimum altitudes specified on DME ARCs and holding procedures provide terrain and obstacle
clearance, but do not ensure flight is contained within controlled airspace.
Procedure Timing
To ensure that the obstacle clearance margins are not infringed, no increase in the instrument
approach procedure outbound time or outbound DME distance is authorized; except that, where
aircraft are operated on the outbound leg of the teardrop instrument approach procedure at indi-
cated airspeeds significantly lower than the maximum authorized for the procedure, the outbound
timing may be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

Modified timing related to aircraft approach speed


Procedure timing shown on chart
91 – 110 KIAS 70 – 90 KIAS
2 Minutes 2.5 Minutes 3 Minutes
3 Minutes 4 Minutes 4.5 Minutes

Outbound time or DME distance may be shortened, provided that the wind velocity at the relevant
altitudes has been confirmed by an immediately preceding instrument approach to the effect that
minimum altitude may be reached at an acceptable descent rate during final approach.
When outbound time and an outbound DME distance limit for a reversal procedure are shown
together on an approach chart, the turn onto the inbound track shall be started within the specified
time or upon reaching the limiting DME distance, whichever occurs first.
Visual Approach at Night
For a visual approach at night, it is essential that the pilot has the runway lights in sight. Sighting
only of the airport beacon, REIL or approach lights is insufficient.

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


New Zealand publishes Decision Altitude (Height) [DA(H)], Minimum Descent Altitude (Height)
[MDA (H)] and visibility for landing. Ceiling and visibility, or visibility only where reduced takeoff
minima are applied, are published for takeoff. Ceiling and visibility are published for alternate at
selected airports.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.

PILOT CONTROLLED LIGHTING


Pilot Activated Airport Lighting (PAL)
The standard operation for pilot activated lighting is to key the mike five times within 3 seconds on
the appropriate frequency. Lights will remain on for 20 minutes. At any time, a single transmission
will reset the lighting timer for another 20 minutes.
NOTE: There is no warning prior to the lights turning off.
Brilliance and Runway Selection — After a ten second warm up, the lights switch to full bright-
ness. To change intensity, make a similar five transmissions, but hold the mike button down on
the last transmission. The lighting intensity will continuously cycle until the transmit button is
released. Where alternative runways are available, the cycling will include changing to the next
runway(s) and cycling the brilliance before starting the cycle again.
Warm Up Period
In weather conditions likely to cause condensation or water on the lenses of visual aids, pilots are
advised to operate PAL as soon as practicable so that the aid can have up to a 5 minute warm
up. This will reduce the likelihood of false indications through optical distortion.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1222
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE (SID)


Unless otherwise specified, SIDs require a climb on runway centerline to a minimum of 400 ft
above the departure end of the runway before commencing a turn.
Wherever limiting speeds other than the maximum turn speeds are promulgated, they must be
complied with to achieve the planned obstacle clearance margins.
Aircraft flying published instrument departure procedures based on terrestrial navigation aids
must fly-over associated NAVAID's/Fixes unless otherwise instructed. Operators using FMS to fly
these conventional procedures must ensure the procedures are appropriately coded in their FMS
to achieve this requirement.
When an instrument departure contains a “cross at or above” requirement pilots must advise ATC
if this requirement cannot be met. This requirement will not apply if the aircraft has been cleared
to a level which is below the level in the requirement.

ATS AIRSPACE
New Zealand has designated:
RNP airspace in the Auckland Oceanic FIR; lower limit FL245, upper limit FL600.
RVSM airspace in the New Zealand FIR and the Auckland Oceanic FIR; lower limit FL290, upper
limit FL410.

PBCS
Performance Based Communications and Surveillance (PBCS) is applied in the Auckland Oce-
anic FIR for the application of reduced performance based separation standards. To be eligible
FANS1/A data-link equipped aircraft must achieve Required Communications Performance
(RCP240) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP180) standards. FANS1/A aircraft not
meeting RCP240 or RSP180 may operate CPDLC and ADS-C in the Auckland Oceanic FIR but
will not be eligible for the performance based separations.
PBCS operational approval for RCP240 and RSP180 is provided by the State of Registry or State
of operator, as appropriate.
Aircraft operators using FANS1/A CPDLC and ADS-C in the Auckland Oceanic FIR shall register

RNP compliance is indicated by inclusion of the letter “R” in item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO
flight plan when any portion of the flight planned route passes through an active RNP designated
airspace. The performance based navigation levels that can be met are specified in item 18 fol-
lowing the indicator PBN/ using the appropriate designators. Aircraft meeting RNP2 shall indicate
this in item 18 using NAV/RNP2.
Minimum lateral separation between RNP10 aircraft is 50 NM and between RNP4 aircraft is 30
NM as permitted by ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030). In all other cases,
100 NM lateral or time-based longitudinal separation will be applied.
ATC will endeavour to accommodate aircraft not meeting RNP criteria within the designated air-
space. Aircraft meeting RNP will be given priority over aircraft not meeting RNP, subject to the

CPDLC UPLINK MESSAGE LATENCY MONITOR FUNCTION


Reduced lateral and longitudinal separation minima predicated on Performance Based Communi-
cation and Surveillance (PBCS) specifications RCP 240 and RSP 180 are in use in the Auckland
Oceanic FIR. One of the safety requirements in RCP 240 allocated to the aircraft system requires
the aircraft system to provide an appropriate indication to the pilot on receipt of an expired mes-
sage.
To support this requirement, Auckland Oceanic Area Control will uplink the CPDLC delayed mes-
sage “SET MAX UPLINK DELAY VALUE TO [delayed message parameter] SECONDS” to
prompt the pilot to enter the specified expiry time into the aircraft avionics.
The intention of the message latency monitor function is to prevent pilots from acting on a CPDLC
uplink message that has been delayed in the network. The most serious of such cases would be
the pilot executing a clearance that was no longer valid.
There are variations between aircraft types in implementation of the message latency monitor
function.
Because aircraft implementations are varied, it is impossible for ATC to tailor the uplink delayed
message to different aircraft types. ATC will uplink this message to all CPDLC connected aircraft
with CPDLC current data authority (CDA) status for NZZO confirmed immediately after they enter
NZZO.
Pilot Procedures
Pilots should be familiar with aircraft functionality that concerns the CPDLC uplink message
latency monitor.
When the pilot receives the uplink delayed message he/she shall:
a. Send a positive response to ATC as prompted by the avionics (ACCEPT [ROGER]) regard-
less of whether the aircraft supports the latency monitor.
NOTE 1: It is important that pilots respond to the uplink delayed message to avoid having
open unanswered CPDLC messages in the system. This also applies to aircraft that have
deficient message latency monitor functionality or no such functionality at all.
NOTE 2: The GOLD Manual specifies that the pilot should append the response downlink
with the free text message TIMER NOT AVAILABLE when the message latency monitor
function is not available in the aircraft.
b. If the aircraft is equipped with a correctly functioning message latency monitor, enter the
specified uplink delay into the avionics in accordance with the aircraft procedures. Some
avionics will automatically set the delay value in accordance with the uplink message and do
not allow for a manual input.
When a pilot receives a CPDLC uplink message with an indication that the message has been
delayed the pilot shall:
a. Revert to voice communications to notify the ATS unit of the delayed message received and
to request clarification of the intent of the CPDLC message; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1225
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. Respond appropriately to close the message as per the instructions of the controller.
c. The pilot must not act on the delayed uplink message until clarification has been
received from the controller.
Implementation of the uplink delayed message will start on or after 21 June 2018.
For the initial implementation in NZZO the delayed message parameter value will set at 300 sec-
onds.

RVSM
RVSM operational approval is required for aircraft to operate within RVSM airspace. The operator
must determine that the appropriate State Authority has approved the aircraft and that it will meet
the RVSM requirements for the filed route of flight and any planned alternate routes. The letter
“W” must only be inserted in item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft has RVSM
operational approval.
Minimum ATC separation between RVSM aircraft is 1000 ft. In all other cases between non-
RVSM aircraft or between a non-RVSM and an RVSM aircraft 2000 ft vertical separation will be
applied.
Within RVSM airspace, RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation over non-
RVSM approved civil aircraft. Non-RVSM approved State aircraft will be afforded the same priority
as RVSM approved aircraft.

NON-RVSM OPERATIONS
Civil Aircraft
Operators of non-RVSM approved civil aircraft may flight plan with the intention to operate within,
or transit vertically through, RVSM airspace on an ad hoc basis. This would normally be limited
to an aircraft that:
a. is being delivered for initial acceptance, change of ownership, or lease; or
b. was formerly RVSM approved but has experienced an equipment failure and is being flown
to a maintenance facility for repair to meet RVSM requirements and/or obtain approval, or is
transporting externally a spare engine or strut assembly; or
c. is being utilized for mercy or humanitarian purposes.
They must include “STS/NONRVSM” in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan to indicate their intention
to operate in RVSM airspace.
Civil Aircraft Fuel Requirements
Operators should be aware that flight within, or vertical transit through, RVSM airspace may not
be available and should carry adequate fuel for flight at FL280 or below.
State Aircraft
Operators of non-RVSM approved State aircraft (military, customs or police service) may flight
plan to operate within, or transit vertically through, RVSM airspace.

Transponder Mandatory Airspace is designated airspace inside which aircraft are required to
have a transponder operating including Mode C, allowing enhanced performance of ground-
based (e.g. SSR) and airborne (e.g. ACAS) surveillance.
VFR Transit Lanes are part of a CTR which are released as Class G (uncontrolled) airspace
during daylight hours for the purpose of transiting by VFR aircraft within airspace not normally
used by IFR aircraft. When active, no entry clearance is required and VFR flights may operate
without reference to ATC within these lanes.
General Aviation Areas (GAA) are part of a CTR or a CTA which is released as Class G air-
space during daylight hours for the purpose of facilitating VFR operations, including glider and
powered VFR activity. VFR aircraft operating within a GAA should maintain a listening watch on
the applicable ATC frequency unless the GAA has been activated for a specific period for glider,
hang glider or paraglider operations.
Common Frequency Zones (CFZ) have been established to encourage pilots to use a single
VHF frequency specified for the zone. Pilots should transmit their position, altitude and intentions
relevant to prominent reporting points or features at entry, or at other times for traffic safety. CFZ
are not mandatory and are advisory in nature.
Mandatory Broadcast Zones are established to provide increased protection to aircraft in areas
of uncontrolled airspace where high density or special operations may occur. A pilot is required to
broadcast position and intention reports on a specified frequency on entry, when joining an airport
traffic circuit, prior to entering a runway, and at regular specified intervals when operating within
the MBZ. As an extra safety measure, landing lights or anticollision lights must be used when
fitted.
Volcanic Hazard Zones (VHZ) have special conditions that must be complied with before entry
and operation within the airspace. There is no administering authority for entry to volcanic hazard
zones. VHZ are established to provide increased protection to aircraft in an area where volcanic
activity may be present. Operation within a VHZ requires pilots to operate in VMC by day, in order
to be able to observe any volcanic ejecta or ash plume. Pilots intending to operate within a VHZ
must therefore receive relevant NOTAM and SIGMET information.
VHZ provide protection when the volcano source is at Alert Level One. During an increase in vol-
canic activity, permanent VHZ may be increased in size with the full extent of ash cloud being
advised by SIGMET. The lateral and upper vertical limits will be amended in accordance with the
following table, and notification of any change in dimensions will be via NOTAM.

ATC will not clear an aircraft to operate on any route or procedure that infringes the VHZ, unless
specifically requested by the pilot during daylight hours only. Aircraft under radar control will be
vectored clear of the boundary of any VHZ unless specifically requested otherwise by the pilot.
Pilots and operators should amend flight plans as necessary.

STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (SLOP) IN THE AUCKLAND


OCEANIC FIR
SLOP are approved procedures that allow aircraft to fly on a parallel track to the right of the cen-
terline relative to the direction of flight to mitigate the lateral overlap probability due to increased
navigation accuracy and wake turbulence encounters. Unless specified in the separation stand-
ard, an aircraft’s use of these procedures does not affect the application of prescribed separation
standards.
Strategic lateral offsets shall be authorized only in Auckland OCA/A as follows:
a. The offset must be to the right of track relative to the direction of flight; and
b. For aircraft equipped with the capacity to offset in tenths of a nautical mile randomly choose
centerline or an offset position of 0.1 NM up to a maximum of 2 NM right of track; or
c. For aircraft equipped with the capacity to offset only in whole nautical miles randomly select
either the centerline or an offset position 1 NM or 2 NM right of track.
The decision to apply a strategic lateral offset shall be the responsibility of the flight crew. The
flight crew shall only apply strategic lateral offsets in airspace where such offsets have been
authorized by the appropriate ATS authority and when the aircraft is equipped with automatic
offset tracking capability.
Pilots should establish contact with other aircraft, if possible, on the appropriate VHF inter-pilot
air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz to coordinate offsets.
The strategic lateral offset procedure has been designed to include offsets to mitigate the effects
of wake turbulence of preceding aircraft. If wake turbulence needs to be avoided, an offset to the
right and with the limits specified above may be used.
Pilots are not required to notify ATC that a strategic lateral offset is being applied.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)


General
TIBA are reports and information transmitted by pilots for the information of pilots of other aircraft
in the vicinity following a significant disruption to air traffic or telecommunication services.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1228

(TIBA), also published in this Airway Manual. Notable clarifications follow.
VHF RTF Frequency to be used for TIBA
VHF RTF Frequency to be used for TIBA in the Auckland Oceanic FIR (NZZO) is 128.95 MHz.
Aircraft within the NZZO FIR should also make position reports to an alternative HF station.
In the New Zealand FIR (NZZC) pilots are to follow frequency instructions issued by ATS. If not
instructed by ATS and there is a complete ATS communication failure, refer to the following TIBA

Timing of TIBA
a. 10 minutes before entering TIBA airspace or, for a pilot taking off from an airport located
within the lateral limits of TIBA airspace, as soon as appropriate prior to or after take-off;
b. 10 minutes prior to, and crossing any reporting point;
c. at 10 minute intervals between reporting points;
d. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS route;
e. where possible 2 to 5 minutes before a change in flight level or altitude;
f. at the time of a change in flight level or altitude;
g. when reaching new flight level or altitude; and
h. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
Content of TIBA
A broadcast is specified when reaching new flight level or altitude; Example: ALL STATIONS,
FASTAIR 69 MAINTAINING FLIGHT LEVEL 340 NOW.
Collision Avoidance Under TIBA
Unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 500 ft, or 1000
ft if above FL290 in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 2000 ft is applied;
Response to a system-initiated ACAS Resolution Advisory has precedence over other instructions
concerning collision avoidance under TIBA.

PROTECTION OF ILS CRITICAL AND SENSITIVE AREAS


Large reflecting objects, including aircraft or vehicles within the radiated signal coverage, may
cause multipath interference to the ILS localizer and glide path.
ATC provides varying levels of protection of ILS critical or sensitive areas based on the category
of approach, the position of an aircraft on the approach and the prevailing weather conditions at
the time the approach is commenced:
a. When weather conditions are at or below a ceiling of 1200 ft and/or visibility less than 5km
but equal to or better than CAT I ILS minima, protection of critical areas of the localizer and
glide path is provided from the time an aircraft on approach is within 4 ILS/DME (4 NM from
touchdown) until the aircraft has landed; or
b. At airports served by CAT II and III ILS, when weather conditions are below CAT I ILS
minima:
1. protection of critical areas of the localizer and glide path is provided from the time an
aircraft on CAT II/III ILS approach is within 4 ILS/DME (4 NM from touchdown) until the
aircraft has landed and completed its landing roll; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1231
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

2. protection of sensitive areas of the localizer and glide path is provided from the time an
aircraft on CAT II/III ILS approach is within 2 ILS/DME (2 NM from touchdown) until the
aircraft has landed and completed its landing roll.
ATC does not provide protection of ILS critical and sensitive areas when:
a. The aircraft on ILS approach is beyond the distances from touchdown specified in paragraph
(a) and (b) above; and/or
b. Weather conditions are better than those specified in weather conditions paragraph (a)
above.
Aircraft on ILS approaches may experience fluctuations in the localizer and/or glide path course
(particularly when the critical/sensitive areas are not being protected) when a preceding aircraft:
a. Passes over or through the localizer critical/sensitive area while departing, landing or execut-
ing a missed approach on the same or another runway, or
b. Taxis through the glide path critical/sensitive area for departure.
When a preceding Code E (e.g. B777) or larger wide body aircraft will use the full length to vacate
the runway, ATC will warn the following aircraft on ILS approach by use of the phraseology:
“ILS FLUCTUATIONS MAY BE EXPERIENCED (reason: e.g. “ILS CRITICAL (and/or SENSI-
TIVE) AREA(S) INFRINGED”)”.
To assist in identifying the cause of any anomalous course disturbances pilots should advise ATC
immediately they are observed.
Pilots of aircraft flying coupled approaches should be especially alert in monitoring the automatic
flight control system.
When the critical/sensitive areas are being protected and there is an inadvertent incursion into the
critical/sensitive area by an aircraft or vehicle, ATC will warn the aircraft on ILS approach by use
of the phraseology:
“ILS FLUCTUATIONS MAY BE EXPERIENCED (reason: e.g. “ILS CRITICAL (and/or SENSI-
TIVE) AREA(S) INFRINGED”)”.

PRACTICE AUTO-LANDINGS
Practice auto-land operations may be available at Auckland and Christchurch airports when
weather conditions are better than CAT I ILS minima.
When protection of critical/sensitive areas is not required, pilots wishing to conduct a practice
auto-land must advise ATC of their intention, as early as practicable, in order that ATC is able to
either:
a. Protect the ILS critical and sensitive areas; or
b. Advise that due to traffic protection of ILS critical and sensitive areas will not be provided
using the phraseology:
“ILS CRITICAL AND SENSITIVE AREAS NOT PROTECTED”.

TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


Traffic congestion is occurring in some New Zealand airspaces, and flow control, start-up delays,
and in-flight holding may be required to allow effective air traffic management at any time, but par-
ticularly during periods of peak demand.
Delays of 20 minutes or more may occur for arriving aircraft when meteorological conditions are
below circling minima for the highest approach category aircraft.
To manage airborne holding and delays during high demand periods, an Air Traffic Management
System called Collaborative Arrival Manager (CAM) operates. CAM allocates a calculated time of
departure (CTOT) and a controlled time of arrival (CTA) for aircraft proceeding to a CAM active
airport based on the runway capacity. International flights are not subject to these procedures.
The following is a list of airports where CAM is in operation:

Auckland H24
Christchurch H24
Wellington H24
A CTA during curfew hours is not an arrival authorization.

STANDARD CLEARANCE DELIVERY SYSTEM


Standard Route Clearances depicting designated routes between pairs of airports servicing regu-
lar flights within New Zealand are published with the respective charts of the departure airport.
The composition of a standard route clearance will be as follows:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1235
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Example: WNNR 3
Where:
WN is the airport of departure (ADEP) (i.e., Wellington)
NR is the airport of destination (ADES) (i.e., Napier)
3 is the plan validity number (1 thru 3 for the primary route, 4 thru 6 for the
secondary route, and 7 thru 9 for an extra route).
Any change of any element of the route field of a standard route clearance
will necessitate a change in the plan validity number.

ALTIMETRY
The pilot of an aircraft flying within the Auckland Oceanic FIR must maintain vertical position by
reference to the standard pressure value of 1013.2 hPa, except that:
a. Within the Rarotonga, Samoa, Tonga and Norfolk Island Area QNH Zones vertical position
must be maintained by reference to the Zone QNH. The pilot of an aircraft landing and taking
off must use the appropriate airport QNH.
b. Where the airport or heliport of destination or departure is not within an Area QNH Zone (e.g.
at the Chatham Islands), aircraft should use the appropriate airport QNH value when at or
below 3000 ft within 10 NM of the shoreline of the landmass on which the destination or
departure airport or heliport is situated.
Aircraft entering the New Zealand FIR are required to remain on 1013.2 hPa to the FIR boundary.
Aircraft entering the Auckland Oceanic FIR from the New Zealand FIR, must, if on QNH, change
to 1013.2 hPa at the FIR boundary.

DATALINK COMMUNICATIONS
Auckland Oceanic Control has installed an automated Oceanic Control System (OCS) that is fully
FANS 1/A compliant. The Logon address is “NZZO”.
Auckland Oceanic control will accept:
a. Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) position reports; and
b. Controller Pilot Datalink Communications (CPDLC). SELCAL checks by CPDLC equipped
aircraft are not required when entering NZZO FIR. Aircraft filing a SELCAL code in item 18 of
their flight plan will be assumed to have a serviceable SELCAL and to be maintaining a
SELCAL watch on the HF primary frequency advised in the appropriate MONITOR instruc-
tion passed by the transferring CPDLC authority.

POSITION REPORTING IN AUCKLAND OCEANIC FIR


General
When on uncharted (random) routes, aircraft are to report position at intervals of 5° or 10° of lati-
tude or longitude (latitude if the aircraft is predominantly north-south, longitude if east-west) north
or south of the equator or east or west of the 180° meridian. 10° is to be used if the aircraft traver-
ses 10° in 1 hour and 20 minutes or less. Aircraft on diagonal tracks are to report at intervals not
exceeding 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Where an aircraft is flying a company generated uncharted route (user preferred random route),
all waypoints published for these routes are compulsory reporting points except where these way-
points coincide with published non-compulsory reporting points or waypoints on an ATS route.
Aircraft that have deviated off-track are to report abeam any reporting point or waypoint.
When reporting using voice or CPDLC, the “Position” and “Next Position” shall only contain com-
pulsory reporting points or waypoints unless requested otherwise by ATC. The “Ensuing Signifi-
cant Point” may be either the compulsory or non-compulsory reporting point or waypoint after the
“Next Position”.
Revision of Estimates
Except when reporting position via ADS-C, pilots must report immediately to ATC a corrected esti-
mate for the next significant point at any time it becomes apparent that an estimate previously
submitted is in error in excess of two (2) minutes.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1237
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Using Voice
When on ATS routes, aircraft must transmit section 1 of the AIREP at compulsory reporting
points, designated compulsory MET reporting points and waypoints. Section 3 of the AIREP is
required at compulsory MET reporting points by aircraft using CPDLC only.
When on uncharted routes, aircraft must transmit section 1 of the AIREP at all fixes defining the
route.
Using CPDLC
Aircraft are required to downlink a CPDLC position report:
– After an initial CPDLC connection when inbound from an area not providing CPDLC services;
and
– After the completion of a CPDLC connection transfer; and
– At the FIR boundary on entry to the Auckland Oceanic FIR (includes outbound from New Zea-
land); and
– At compulsory reporting points; and
– When requested by ATC.
Using ADS-C
Aircraft reporting position via ADS-C are not required to downlink CPDLC position reports or
report position using voice except:
– that a CPDLC position report is required at the FIR boundary on entry to the Auckland Oceanic
FIR (includes outbound from New Zealand); and
– When requested by ATC.
Using ADS-B
Aircraft equipped with ADS-B which has an aircraft identification capability must transmit the air-
craft identification as specified in Item 7 of the ICAO flight plan or, when no flight plan has been
filed, the aircraft registration.
Within Auckland Oceanic FIR (west of 180 deg) and the New Zealand domestic FIR, an aircraft
carrying 1090 MHz extended squitter (1090ES) ADS-B equipment shall disable ADS-B transmis-
sions unless:
a. The aircraft emits position information of an accuracy and integrity consistent with the trans-
mitted value of the position quality indicator, or
b. The aircraft always transmits a value of 0 (zero) for one or more of the position quality indica-
tors (NUC, NIC, NAC OR SIL), or
c. The operator has received specific dispensation from the Director of Civil Aviation.
NOTE: Downlinked ADS-B data will not be used by the ATC system for determining aircraft posi-
tion when any of the position quality indicators (NUCp, NIC, NAC or SIL) have a value of 0 (zero).

must maintain a continuous listening watch on the assigned Traffic frequency, or on 119.1 MHz if
there is no frequency assigned, and broadcast position, altitude and intentions for the benefit of
other traffic.
Each aircraft transmission is to be preceded by the name of the airport, followed by the word
“TRAFFIC”.

POSITION REPORTING UNDER IFR IN NEW ZEALAND FIR


After any frequency change, when no position report is required in accordance with the following
procedures, pilots must advise call sign and cruise level, or call sign and level climbing/descend-
ing.
Except when aircraft are maintaining an ATC required speed, any variation of average true air-
speed, between reporting points, of plus or minus five percent must be notified to ATC as soon as
possible.
When it becomes apparent that an estimate previously submitted is in error by in excess of two
minutes, pilots must immediately report to ATC a corrected estimate for the next significant point.
This does not apply when reporting position via ADS-C.
Aircraft Equipped with an Operative Transponder
When identified, an IFR flight equipped with an operative transponder may discontinue updates to
ETA, and enroute position reports:
a. over designated reporting points and navigation aids;
b. on reaching or leaving assigned levels;
c. when transmitting full text reports after changing frequency to a new ATC unit or sector.
All other position reports are required.
Aircraft under control of the following Towers must make all required position reports:

Gisborne Napier New Plymouth

tion can easily be established before take-off; or
b. after take-off, if not available or obtainable before take-off, provided the aircraft does not
enter controlled airspace until cleared.
If landing at such airports with the intention of departing for a control area shortly after landing,
any revision of notified details relevant to the clearance should be advised if (a) or (b) would not
be practicable, clearance should be requested before landing.
Details required for flight in controlled airspace shall be submitted at least 30 minutes before the
expected time of entry into controlled airspace.

*Maximum speed for reversal procedures.
NOTE: On reversal procedures for which a FAF is not published, final approach speed should be
obtained before descending on the inbound track.

Speed Restrictions
Non-precision instrument approach procedures are normally designed to a maximum indicated
airspeed of:
a. Category A/B: 170 knots;
b. Category C/D: 200 knots;
c. Category E: not normally provided.
These are the maximum speeds, for each category, during the initial approach segment of a non-
precision approach procedure. The speed must be achieved before passing the IAF or facility.
Other speed restrictions may be specified in addition to, or instead of, aircraft category restric-
tions, to ensure that the aircraft remains within the limits of the protected areas.
NOTE 1: The speeds in Table above do not override other speed limit requirements.
NOTE 2: The maximum speeds, identified by asterisk in Table above for reversal procedures, are
not applied in Papua New Guinea.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


PERFORMANCE BASED NAVIGATION (PBN)
Performance Based Navigation (PBN) is implemented throughout the Port Moresby FIR. At this
time, only RNP10 (RNAV10) approvals are recognized.
At this time, only RNP10 separation standards will be applied to aircraft with RNP4 or RNP10
approval.
ATC apply separation minima based on a flight's notified navigational approval status. Therefore,
pilots must notify ATC when operating with reduced navigation performance.
RNP4 or RNP10 approved aircraft may be afforded priority over aircraft not meeting such criteria,
subject to traffic disposition.

ADS-C/CPDLC IN THE PORT MORESBY FIR


PNG Air Services Limited is implementing FANS 1/A Data Link services (ADS-C/CPDLC) within
the Port Moresby Flight Information Region (FIR).
The Logon Address is “AYPM”.
The CPDLC procedures described are in accordance with international procedures. Refer to AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL — AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (DOC 4444) — Controller-Pilot Data Link
Communications (CPDLC) (not published herein).
Logon Procedures
A logon request must be initiated by the air crew and received by the ground system before any
data link connections can be initiated.
Aircraft departing from airports within the Port Moresby FIR and requesting CPDLC services
should not logon earlier than 20 minutes prior to the planned EOBT.
Aircraft entering the Port Moresby FIR from an adjacent FIR can expect that the CPDLC connec-
tion will be transferred automatically by the Address Forwarding process.
In the event that flight crew are instructed by voice to logon, the logon address must be read
back.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1255
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

The aircraft identification and registration contained in the logon request must be identical to the
aircraft details contained in the flight plan.
Aircraft departing the Port Moresby FIR can expect to be automatically Address Forwarded to the
appropriate ATS unit prior to the FIR boundary.
To ensure reliability of ADS-C, flight crews must ensure that the ADS-C remains armed.
CPDLC “latency timer” functionality is not available in the Port Moresby FIR.
CPDLC
In the Port Moresby FIR east of 150E, CPDLC is the primary means of communications between
ATC and flight crews operating FANS 1/A equipped aircraft. HF voice will be used as the backup
communications medium.
In the Port Moresby FIR west of 150E, VHF voice is normally the primary means of communica-
tion. Flight crews should not initiate CPDLC messaging except:
a. when transmitting position reports in accordance with paragraph 5; or
b. when authorized by ATC; or
c. in an emergency.
SELCAL checks by CPDLC equipped aircraft are not required when entering the AYPM FIR. Air-
craft filing a SELCAL code in item 18 of the flight notification will be assumed to have a servicea-
ble SELCAL and to be maintaining SELCAL watch on the primary HF frequency advised in the
MONITOR instruction passed by the transferring CPDLC authority.
When transferring an aircraft from CPDLC to voice as the primary means of communication, flight
crews will be instructed to CONTACT the appropriate frequency.
When crossing an FIR boundary, the transferring ATS unit will instruct the flight crew to either
CONTACT or MONITOR the next ATS unit on the appropriate frequency. When instructed to
MONITOR the next ATS unit, CPDLC will remain the primary means of communication.
Position Reporting
A CPDLC downlink is required to enable Port Moresby ATC to ensure that it is the CPDLC data
authority for the aircraft. To facilitate this, flight crews must send a single CPDLC position report
either:
a. Whenever a new CPDLC connection is established; or
b. On entering the Port Moresby FIR from another FIR.
Following this initial CPDLC position, additional CPDLC or voice position reports are not required
unless specifically requested by ATC. A CPDLC position report is not required when an aircraft is
transferred from voice to CPDLC providing a report was downlinked earlier in accordance with
paragraph above.
For non-identified aircraft, ADS-C reporting fulfills position reporting requirements. In the event of
ADS-C failure, the pilot will be instructed to resume position reporting by either voice or CPDLC
as appropriate.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1256
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Reporting Back on Route


If an aircraft is subject to a weather deviation and has been instructed to report back on route, the
“BACK ON ROUTE” message must not be downlinked until either:
a. The aircraft has rejoined its previously cleared route; or
b. The aircraft has requested and has been cleared direct to a subsequent waypoint and is pro-
ceeding directly to that waypoint.
If an aircraft is off track, but proceeding directly to a subsequent waypoint, the “BACK ON
ROUTE” message must not be downlinked until after the aircraft has sequenced that waypoint.
Upon receipt of this CPDLC uplink, flight crews must ensure that the correct downlink report is
sent. Note that downlinking “BACK ON ROUTE” before the aircraft is actually established on the
cleared route may result in ATC applying incorrect separation tolerances to the aircraft.
Block Level Clearances
ATC may issue block level clearances to facilitate operations in adverse weather or for other
operational reasons.
A block level clearance is cancelled or amended by the issuance of a new vertical clearance.
To request a cancellation of a block level clearance when it is no longer required, flight crews
should downlink a CPDLC request for the preferred level in order to enable ATC to issue the new
vertical clearance.
Revision of Estimates Using CPDLC
Under normal circumstances, an aircraft position reporting via ADS-C is not required to advise
ATC of any revised waypoint estimates. Exceptions are:
a. Revision of a greater than two (2) minutes to a previous flight crew advised estimate; or
b. Following a flight crew-initiated action (eg: speed change) resulting in an amended estimate
of greater than two (2) minutes.
If required, flight crews shall advise of revised estimate by one of the following means:
a. by voice or
b. a CPDLC position report containing the revised estimate: or
c. the CPDLC free-text message, “REVISED ETA [position][time]”.
ADS-C and/or CPDLC Failure
When using CPDLC for communications and/or ADS-C for position reporting, flight crews must
advise ATC when any fault occurs (e.g: loss of SATCOM) that may result in the degraded per-
formance or non-availability of CPDLC, and/or ADS-C.
Flight crews becoming aware of a CPDLC connection failure when CPDLC is being used as the
primary means of communication must immediately re-establish primary communications on the
appropriate voice frequency.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1257
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

In the event of either a programmed or unexpected CPDLC shutdown, ATC will advise all data
link connected aircraft to re-establish primary communications by voice. The return of the system
to an operational state may require a new logon from affected aircraft. Voice will continue to be
used as the primary means of communication until CPDLC connections are re-established and
ATC has authorized a return to data link communications.

ing after prior clearance from ATC, unless the relevant publications indicate that the holding area
can accommodate aircraft flying at these high holding speeds.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Speed Limitations
Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, arriving aircraft speed within the Manila TMA shall not
exceed 250 kts IAS. If there is no need to apply the speed limitation, ATC shall inform the pilot
“No speed restriction required.”

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


The Philippines do not publish complete airport operating minimums for procedures based on
PANS-OPS. On these procedures the Philippines publishes Obstacle Clearance Altitudes
(Heights) [[OCA(H)]], visibility, and for selected procedures, ceiling.
DA or DH/(HAT), MDA/(HAT or HAA), ceiling and visibility are published for landing on proce-
dures designed to TERPS criteria at military airports.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.
Circling Approach Area
On procedures designed to TERPs criteria, the visual maneuvering area for a circling approach is
determined by arcs centered on each runway threshold and joining those arcs with tangent lines.
The radius of the arcs are related to the aircraft category as follows:

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM) POLICY AND
PROCEDURES IN THE MANILA FIR
IMPLEMENTATION OF REVISED FLIGHT LEVEL ARRANGEMENTS IN THE WESTERN
PACIFIC/SOUTH CHINA SEA AREA
The States of the ICAO Asia/Pacific Region within the Western Pacific/South China Sea (WPAC/
SCS) area implemented RVSM operations using a modified single alternate flight level orientation
scheme (FLOS), with a complementary flight level allocation scheme (FLAS) for ATC flight level
assignment.
To assist expeditious traffic handling, ATC operational arrangements termed ‘no pre-departure
coordination’ (i.e., ‘No-PDC’) procedures are mutually agreed between affected ATC Area Control
Centers (ACCs). Using No-PDC procedures means the initial flight level for departing flights is
allocated in accordance with the pre-agreed FLAS without real time flight level coordination being
undertaken between adjacent ACCs. After departure, other flight levels may be available subject
to prior coordination between ACCs to agree alternative flight levels for assignment.
Subsequent to the commencement of RVSM operations in the WPAC/SCS area, implementation
of RVSM has continued in airspaces surrounding the WPAC/SCS area but utilizing a single alter-
nate FLOS in accordance with the Tables of Cruising Levels contained in the Table “RVSM-
FEET” of Appendix 3 of ICAO Annex 2 – Rules of the Air. This resulted in a need to continuously
transition the flight levels of many flights entering and leaving the WPAC/SCS area between the
modified single alternate FLOS in the WPAC/SCS area and the single alternate FLOS in sur-
rounding RVSM areas.
Implement Revised FLOS and FLAS in WPAC/SCS Area
In order to minimize flight level transition requirements for flights entering and leaving the
WPAC/SCS area, affected States working under the auspices of the ICAO WPAC/SCS RVSM
Scrutiny Working Group (WPAC/SCS RSG) will implement revised flight level arrangements for
the WPAC/SCS area.
With effect from 0807022100, simultaneous and permanent implementation of the following flight
level arrangements in the WPAC/SCS area will occur:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1261
PHILIPPINES
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. A single alternate FLOS (i.e., ‘east odd flight levels, west even flight levels’) in compliance
with the Table “RVSM-FEET” of Appendix 3 of Annex 2 (not published herein) and in accord-
ance with the FLOS in surrounding areas;
b. Special high capacity arrangements for six unidirectional parallel routes (L642, M771, N892,
L625, N884 and M767) that involve managed use of odd and even flight levels in the same
direction of flight; and
c. an associated FLAS agreed between affected ACCs to facilitate ATC ‘No-PDC’ operations.
Details of the flight level arrangements to be implemented, including those applicable to Large
Scale Weather Deviation (LSWD), have been included in the following tables.

PROCEDURES ON RNAV ROUTES N884 AND M767


This subsection provides additional details relevant to the implementation of 50 NM longitudinal
separation between RNP10-approved aircraft and/or RNP4-approved aircraft and 30 NM longitu-
dinal separation minima between RNP4 approved aircraft operating along RNAV routes N884 and
M767 within the Manila FIR.
Manila Area Control Center (RTF: Manila Control) is the unit providing air traffic control services
for all enroute traffic operating within the Manila FIR.
RNP10 and RNP4 based longitudinal separation minimum may be applied by ATC between suita-
bly equipped aircraft on ATS routes N884 and M767 as described below.
For aircraft operating on RNAV routes N884 and M767, Performance Based Communication and
Surveillance (PBCS) longitudinal separation minima of 50 NM shall be applied between RNP10
approved and/or RNP4 approved aircraft and longitudinal separation minima of 30 NM between
RNP4 approved aircraft at FL310, FL320, FL350, FL360, FL390 and FL400.
NOTE: Please refer to the FLAS applicable within the Manila FIR and the adjacent FIRs.
Aircraft pairs being provided with a reduced longitudinal separation must meet the required Per-
formance Based Communication and Surveillance (PBCS) compliance for the application of
RNP10 and RNP4 reduced longitudinal separation.

To comply with the requirement of Direct Controller-Pilot Communication (DCPC) when applying
50 NM or 30 NM longitudinal separation, pilot must LOG ON to Controller-Pilot Data Link Commu-
nication (CPDLC) and utilize VHF radio whenever possible. Such Direct Controller-Pilot Commu-
nication (DCPC) shall be maintained at all times when applying these separation minima.
The communication system should support the application of this minima such that it allows the
controller to intervene and resolve a potential conflict:
a. within 4 minutes, using the normal communication means (VHF radio/CPDLC);
b. within 10 1/2 minutes using an alternate source of communication (HF radio) in the event of
normal communication means failure.
The minima shall be applied only between a traffic pair both logged-on to CPDLC. In other cases,
conventional time-based longitudinal separation shall apply, with MNT if deemed appropriate.
The minima shall only be applied between aircraft on the same track.
Separation shall be established by maintaining not less than the specified distance between air-
craft positions reported through the following means:
a. By reference to the same “on track” 1 common point, and whenever possible, ahead of both
aircrafts; or
b. By an automated reporting system.
Controllers shall ensure that the minimum distance exists throughout the period of application of
the minima. When the aircraft are at or are expected to be at minimum applicable distance, con-
trollers shall apply appropriate speed control techniques, such as assigning appropriate Mach
numbers to aircraft.
NOTE 1: The term “on-track” means that the aircraft is flying either directly inbound to or directly
outbound from the station or common point.
NOTE 2: Same identical tracks are special case of same track where the angular difference is
zero degrees.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1269

RULES AND PROCEDURES

Pilots must report to Manila Control of any deterioration or failure of either of the following:
1. Navigation system (performance below the navigation requirements for RNP10 or RNP4
operations); or
2. ADS-C/CPDLC.
As soon as such report has been received, the Manila Control shall provide alternative applicable
separation. The change must be coordinated with the unit providing air traffic services in the adja-
cent FIR.
Application of Longitudinal Distance-Based Separation Minima Not Using ADS-C

When an aircraft fails to report its position, the controller shall take action within 3 minutes to
establish communication. If communication is not established within 8 minutes from the time the
report should have been received, the controller shall apply an alternative form of separation.
Controllers are to note that time lag exists between instruction passed and distance reported by
pilot, and if left unchecked might result in a misrepresentation of air situation. As such, controllers
shall exercise discretion in the sequence of requesting such reports. As a general guide, distance
reporting instructions should normally be issued to the front aircraft first.
Controller shall use the phraseology “Report distance [to/from] [position]” for aircraft to report its
distance to or from a common point (‘to’ shall be used when position is an ensuing waypoint).

above is received, Manila Control shall coordinate with adjacent ATS units affected by the flight.
Additional Communication Procedures
Pilots operating southwest bound along RNAV route M767 may initiate CPDLC communications
with Singapore ACC (addressee: WSJC) over waypoint TOKON or 20 minutes before reaching
waypoint TEGID but shall remain in contact with Manila Control via VHF at 118.9 MHz until posi-
tion TEGID except when instructed by Manila Control to switch to Singapore Control at an earlier
time.
Pilots operating northeast bound along RNAV route N884 shall establish contact with Manila Con-
trol via VHF at 118.9 MHz at least 3 minutes before reaching waypoint LAXOR.
Suspension of 50 NM and 30 NM Longitudinal Separation
Whenever LSWD procedures are activated along RNAV routes N884 and M767, application of
the 50 NM and 30 NM longitudinal separation shall be suspended. Manila Control shall provide
other applicable separation.
In the event the Philippine Air Traffic Management System encounters system errors which can
compromise aircraft position monitoring and/or AGDL communications, 50 NM and 30 NM longitu-
dinal separation shall be suspended. Manila Control shall provide other applicable separation.
a. Suspension shall be coordinated with the concerned ATS units.
b. NOTAM shall be issued.

The log on is the first step in the data link process. A log on, initiated either by the flight crew or by
another ATS Unit (ATSU), is performed prior to the ATSU establishing a CPDLC and/or ADS-C
connection.
An initial log on request is needed when the aircraft does not have an ADS-C or CPDLC connec-
tion.
The ATS Facilities Notification (AFN) log on is performed by the pilot when:
a. the aircraft is preparing for departure; or
b. the aircraft will enter an area, where data link services are available, from an area where
data link services are not available; or
c. instructed by ATC (e.g. following a failed data link transfer).
The AFN log on address of Manila ACC is “RPHI”.
Aircraft should log on to “RPHI” prior to departing from Ninoy Aquino International Airport or
between 10–25 minutes prior to entering the Manila FIR.
To avoid an automatic rejection of the log on request, the flight crew shall ensure that the flight-
specific information entered into the aircraft system is the same as the corresponding details filed
in the flight plan.
Pilots who are unable to establish a data link connection shall inform ATC on VHF or HF.
Aircraft with ADS/CPDLC connection with RPHI shall send ADS position report upon entering the
FIR boundary.
ADS-C reports fulfill all normal position reporting requirements.
In airspace where both VHF voice and CPDLC services are available, the flight crew should use
VHF as means of communication.
The response to a CPDLC message should be via CPDLC, and a response to voice should be via
voice.
CPDLC Connection Transfer from RPHI to RJJJ/KZAK as appropriate.
RPHI shall terminate the CPDLC connection by:
a. an uplink message of “MONITOR (OR CONTACT) [icaounitname] [frequency] 10 minutes
before the FIR boundary and
b. an uplink message of “END SERVICE” after receiving WILCO from the pilot.
The avionics will downlink a “DISCONNECT” message.

PHILIPPINES
RULES AND PROCEDURES

In cases where the next FIR provide data link services, a Next Data Authority (NDA) message will
be sent out 30–35 minutes prior to crossing the FIR boundary. Transfer of communication shall be
completed at the FIR boundary.
In cases where the next FIR does not have data link services, CPDLC connections will be termi-
nated at the FIR boundary position.

FLIGHT PLAN PROCEDURES


In item 10 of the flight plan, the operator should insert one or more of the descriptors, as appropri-
ate, to identify an aircraft’s data link equipment and capabilities.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The flight crew shall use whatever means are appropriate (i.e. CPDLC and/or voice) to communi-
cate during an emergency.
When emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may respond via
CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with the aircraft.
If the emergency situation no longer exists, the pilot should cancel the ADS emergency mode (if
activated).

STRICT IMPLEMENTATION OF NO SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION OF


AIRCRAFT CATEGORY 3C AND ABOVE AT TAGBILARAN PRINCIPAL
AIRPORT
With the restriction of no simultaneous operation of aircraft category 3C and above and in order to
maximize the utilization of Tagbilaran Principal Airport apron for parking, the following procedures
shall apply to all aircraft utilizing the Tagbilaran Principal Airport movement area:
a. Domestic air carrier aircraft category 3C and above, jet or turbo prop engine, shall park at
the ramp fronting the passengers terminal building, or as instructed by the Tagbilaran Con-
trol Tower for a period of 45 minutes or less, or until the first approved EDCT (Expected
Departure Clearance Time).
b. Except when there is a valid reason to extend their ground time, Tagbilaran Control Tower
may allow the extension of their ground time which shall not exceed fifteen (15) minutes.
c. All aircraft below category 3C shall park at other available parking areas on the ramp but not
at the area stated in number 1 or as instructed by the Tagbilaran Control Tower.
d. Presidential and identified special government flights, including their entourage, are exemp-
ted from this procedure. Any infringement or violation of the allotted time
Any infringement or violation of the allotted time by any aircraft category 3C and above already

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


The Solomon Is publishes Obstacle Clearance Altitudes (Heights) [OCA(H)] or Obstacle Clear-
ance Limits (OCLs) for landing.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below state minimums.
Departure
Before departing from any unattended aerodrome in the Solomon Is, all aircraft shall report when
taxiing to the Honiara FIC and advise of destination or intentions and runway to be used.
Except at Honiara/Henderson and Munda, aircraft which are unable to establish communication
with Honiara FIC prior to take-off may commence the flight but shall report before proceeding:
a. higher than 1500 feet above aerodrome elevation;
b. beyond 5 NM from the aerodrome; or
c. in cloud.

ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATION


Controlled airspace (Class “A”) exists in the Honiara FIR between FL245 and FL600. Air traffic
control services are provided in this airspace.
Uncontrolled airspace (Class “G”) exists within the Honiara FIR below FL245. Flight information
and alerting services are provided below FL245.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


All operations within the Honiara FIR require flight information based on full radio reporting. Air-
craft which transit Honiara FIR are required to be capable of two way communication with Honiara
Flight Information Centre (FIC) at all times. Aircraft arriving Honiara which cannot comply with this
requirement will be held on the ground until the necessary repairs to the radio have been carried
out.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1282
SOLOMON IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Aircraft which plan to transit the airspace north of 3° South at any time should, in addition to
establishing communications with Honiara FIS, also attempt to establish communications with
Oakland on HF prior to entering the airspace.
Because the transition altitudes in adjacent FIRs differ from that established in the Solomon Is,
aircraft may be required to effect transition from altitudes to flight levels or vice versa when
departing or entering the Honiara FIR. Such transitions between flight levels and altitudes shall be
made at the FIR boundary.
Night flying facilities are not normally available at aerodromes apart from Honiara/Henderson.
Therefore operations are restricted to the hours between morning and evening twilight. Pilots-in-
command must plan their flight to arrive at their destination in sufficient time to divert to an alter-
nate aerodrome and to land at the alternate within the published hours of availability.
Unless specifically authorized by the Director, VFR flight is not permitted at night.

ALTIMETRY
The Honiara Fir is divided into three area ONH Zones. The lines of division run North/South along
the E 159 degrees and E 163 degrees meridians. The zones are designated, from the West, as
Western, Honiara and Temotu QNH Zones. Cruising altitudes at and below the transition altitude
are based on the Area QNH available through Honiara FIC. Area ONH reports are made at 1900,
2200, 0108, 0400 and 0700 UTC and are valid for the succeeding three hour period.

REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE (RNP)


Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is implemented throughout Solomon Islands airspace.
Aircraft with an RNP4 or RNP10 approval will be afforded appropriate separation based on noti-
fied RNP capability. An RNP approval is obtained from the State of Registry or State of the opera-
tor, as appropriate.
Where aircraft are approved to either RNP4 or RNP10, the operator must indicate that the aircraft
is so approved and equipped by annotating “R” in Item 10 (Equipment) of the flight notification. In
addition, operators may annotate “Z” in item 10 and specify in item 18 of the flight notification the
actual RNP approval type, by annotating either “NAV/RNP4” or “NAV/RNP10”, as appropriate.
Aircraft meeting RNP4 or RNP10 criteria may be afforded priority over aircraft not meeting such
criteria, subject to traffic disposition.
ATC apply separation minima based on a flight’s notified navigational approval status. Therefore,
pilots must notify ATC when operating with reduced navigation performance. The following apply:
a. Operating With One Long Range Navigation System (LRNS). The pilot must notify ATC
whenever the aircraft is operating with a single LRNS and continue as cleared by ATC.
b. Aircraft Not Navigating to the Notified RNP. The pilot must notify ATC that the aircraft can
no longer navigate to the notified RNP.
c. Loss of All Aircraft LRNSs. The pilot should follow the contingency procedures published
in ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030).

Compensate for wind effect primarily by drift correction on the inbound and outbound legs. When
outbound, triple the inbound drift correction to avoid major turning adjustments; e.g., if correcting
left by 8° when inbound, correct right by 24° when outbound.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Instrument approach procedures are based on the United States Standards for Terminal Proce-
dures (TERPS) criteria.
Procedure Turns
Where 45°/180° procedure turns are published, the point at which the turn may be commenced
and the type and rate of turn is left to the discretion of the pilot.
Some procedure turns are specified by procedural track. These turns must be flown exactly as
depicted.
NOTE: When a teardrop procedure turn is depicted, and a course reversal is required, this type
turn must be executed.
When the approach involves a procedure turn, a maximum speed of not more than 200 KIAS
should be observed and the turn executed within the distance specified in the profile view.
Circling Approach Obstacle Protected Airspace
The circling MDA provides vertical clearance from obstacles when conducting a circle-to-land
maneuver within the obstacle protected area. Circling approach obstacle protected areas extend

laterally and longitudinally from the centerlines and ends of all runways at an airport by the distan-
ces shown in the following tables. The areas are technically defined by the tangential connection
of arcs drawn at the radius distance shown from each runway end.
Standard Circling Approach Maneuvering Radius
Circling approach protected areas developed prior to late 2012 used the radius distances shown
in the following table, expressed in nautical miles (NM), dependent on aircraft approach category.
The approaches using standard circling approach areas can be identified by the absence of the

Aircraft Speeds
Unless otherwise authorized by the FAA Administrator, no person may operate an aircraft below
10,000 feet MSL at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 kt (288 mph).
Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft within Class
“B”, “C”, or “D” surface area at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kt (230 mph). This does
not apply to operations within Class “B” airspace. Such operations shall comply with preceding
paragraph in this section.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1293
US PAC TERRITORIES
RULES AND PROCEDURES

No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying Class “B” airspace, or in a VFR cor-
ridor designated through Class “B” airspace, at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kt (230
mph).
If the minimum safe airspeed for any operation is greater than the maximum speed prescribed in
this section, the aircraft may be operated at that minimum speed.
GPS Overlay Program
As the production of stand-alone GPS approaches has progressed, many of the original overlay
approaches have been replaced with stand-alone procedures specifically designed for use by
GPS systems. A GPS approach overlay allows pilots to use GPS avionics under IFR for flying
designated nonprecision instrument approach procedures, except LOC, LDA, and simplified direc-
tional facility (SDF) procedures. These procedures are identified by the name of the procedure
and “or GPS” (for example, VOR/DME or GPS RWY15). Other previous types of overlays have
either been converted to this format or replaced with stand-alone procedures. Only approaches
contained in the current onboard navigation database are authorized. The navigation database
may contain information about non-overlay approach procedures that is intended to be used to
enhance position orientation, generally by providing a map, while flying these approaches using
conventional NAVAIDs. This approach information should not be confused with a GPS overlay
approach.
GPS IFR Equipment Classes/Categories
Class A — GPS sensor and navigation capability;
Class B — GPS sensor data to an integrated navigation system (i.e., FMS, multisensor naviga-
tion system, etc.);
Class C — GPS sensor data to an integrated navigation system (i.e., FMS, multisensor naviga-
tion system, etc.); which provides enhanced guidance to an autopilot, or flight director, to reduce
flight technical errors. Limited to FAR Part 121 or equivalent criteria.
Equipment Classes A1, B1 and C1 require Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM).
Classes B3 and C3 require an inertial navigation system to provide RAIM equivalent.

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


The United States publishes DH/(HAT), MDA/(HAT or HAA) and visibility for landing. Visibility
and, for selected runways/locations, ceiling is published for take-off. Ceiling and visibility are pub-
lished for alternate at civil airports.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.

PILOT CONTROLLED LIGHTING (PCL)


Radio control of lighting is available at selected airports to provide airborne control of lights by
keying the aircraft’s microphone. The control system consists of a 3-step control responsive to 7,
5, and/or 3 microphone clicks. The 3-step and 2-step lighting facilities can be altered in intensity.
All lighting is illuminated for a period of 15 minutes (except for 1-step and 2-step REILs which may
be turned off by keying the mike 5 or 3 times, respectively).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1294
US PAC TERRITORIES
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Suggested use is to initially key the mike 7 times; this assures that all controlled lights are turned
on to the maximum available intensity. If desired, adjustment can then be made, where the capa-
bility is provided, to a lower intensity (or the REIL turned off) by keying the mike 5 and/or 3 times.
Radio controlled lighting receivers may be set at a low sensitivity requiring the aircraft to be rela-
tively close to activate the system. Consequently, even when lights are on, always key mike as
directed when overflying an airport of intended landing or just prior to entering the final segment of
an approach. This will assure the aircraft is close enough to activate the system and a full 15
minutes of lighting duration is available.
Approved lighting systems may be activated by keying the mike as indicated in the following table:

KEY MIKE FUNCTION


7 times within 5 seconds Highest intensity available
5 times within 5 seconds Medium or Lower intensity (Lower REIL or RE-
IL-Off)
3 times within 5 seconds Lowest intensity available (Lower REIL or RE-
IL-Off)

ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATION


OFFSHORE AIRSPACE AREAS
There are Class “E” airspace areas that extend upward from a specified altitude to, but not includ-
ing, 18,000 feet MSL and are designated as offshore airspace areas. These areas provide con-
trolled airspace beyond 12 nautical miles from the coast of the U.S. in those areas where there is
a requirement to provide IFR enroute ATC services.

SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE


Special use airspace consists of airspace wherein activities must be confined because of their
nature, or wherein limitations are imposed upon aircraft operations that are not a part of those
activities, or both.
Restricted Areas
Airspace within which the flight of aircraft while not wholly prohibited, is subject to restrictions.
Restricted areas denote the existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards such as artillery firing,
aerial gunnery, or guided missiles. Penetration of restricted areas without authorization from the
using or controlling agency may be extremely hazardous to aircraft and its occupants.
Warning Areas
A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending from three nautical miles outward
from the coast of the U.S., that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating air-
craft. The purpose of such warning areas is to warn nonparticipating pilots of the potential danger.
A warning area may be located over domestic or international waters or both.

VFR is not permitted between sunset and sunrise.
Flights shall be conducted in accordance with IFR (even when not in IMC) when operated more
than 100 NM seawards from the shoreline within controlled airspace.
Within the Samoa Sector of the Auckland Oceanic FIR and Faleolo CTR/CTA, aircraft operating
at or below the transition altitude must maintain vertical position by reference to the appropriate
zone QNH, except that aircraft taking off or operating within a CTR must use the appropriate air-
port QNH.

SEPARATION OF IFR FLIGHTS OUTSIDE CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


Pilots departing from unattended airports may obtain traffic information from Faleolo ATS.
Pilots operating to/from Pago Pago shall:
For departures:
a. Contact Faleolo Approach on VHF 118.1 MHz for traffic information and advise intentions;
b. Pilots shall be issued ATC clearance to enter controlled airspace with a specified entry con-
dition (via route or waypoint);
c. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that upon entry into the CTA the aircraft shall be
established on track as specified in the route clearance;
d. In a situation of multiple departures, entry into the CTA will be controlled. Succeeding depart-
ing aircraft will be instructed to remain outside controlled airspace until a minimum separa-
tion standard is achieved;
e. For awareness purposes, all aircraft shall monitor and broadcast intentions on VHF 122.9
MHz.
For arrivals:
a. Faleolo Approach will not issue IFR approach clearances;
b. If requested, aircraft may be cleared directly to initial and intermediate approach fixes and
issued descent clearance to 4000 ft AMSL. Aircraft will be issued clearance to leave the CTA
at this point and given known aircraft movement in uncontrolled airspace;
c. In the event of successive arrivals, Faleolo may require aircraft to hold at or above 5000 ft
AMSL at a DME distance from TUT until such time as a preceding aircraft has completed its
approach and is assured of effecting a normal landing;
d. For awareness purposes, all aircraft shall monitor and broadcast intentions on VHF 122.9

a. Dependent on aircraft movement, exit/entry into/from Pago Pago will be controlled with issu-
ance of entry/exit via specific waypoints or instructed to remain outside the CTA until a mini-
mum separation standard is achieved.

ALTIMETRY
Within the Samoa QNH zone, when at or below 11,000 feet, aircraft must maintain vertical posi-
tion by reference to the appropriate zone QNH, except that aircraft landing or taking off or operat-
ing within a CTR must use the appropriate aerodrome QNH.

REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS


Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM – 1000 foot vertical separation between RVSM
approved aircraft) may be applied within the Oakland Oceanic FIR between FL290 and FL410.
Aircraft operating within this airspace between FL290 and FL410 require RVSM approval. RVSM
vertical separation will be based on the equipment qualifier filed by the aircraft. The operators
shall determine that the appropriate state authority has approved the aircraft and the aircraft will
meet the RVSM requirements for the filed route of flight and any planned alternate routes. The
letter “W” in field 10 (equipment) of the ICAO standard flight plan indicates RVSM approved air-
craft.

MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE


Oakland Oceanic CTA/FIR
MNT may be applied on all routes within the Oakland Oceanic CTA/FIR.
Anchorage Oceanic CTA/FIR
MNT applicable on all overwater routes within the Anchorage Oceanic CTA/FIR. Standard longitu-
dinal separation is 15 minutes.
Longitudinal separation between turbojet aircraft when the MNT is applied:
Turbojet aircraft shall adhere to the true Mach number approved by ATC and shall request ATC
approval before making any changes thereto. If it is essential to make an immediate temporary
change in the Mach number (e.g. due to turbulence), ATC shall be notified as soon as possible
that such a change has been made.
If it is not feasible, due to aircraft performance, to maintain the last assigned Mach number during
en-route climbs and descents, pilots of aircraft concerned shall advise ATC at the time of the
climb/descent request.
When the Mach number technique is applied and provided that:
a. the aircraft concerned have reported over the same common point and follow the same track
or continuously diverging tracks until some other form of separation is provided; or
b. if the aircraft have not reported over the same common point and it is possible to ensure, by
radar, ADS-B or other means, that the appropriate time interval will exist at the common
point from which they either follow the same track or continuously diverging tracks;

minimum longitudinal separation between turbojet aircraft on the same track, whether in
level, climbing or descending flight shall be:
1. 10 minutes; or
2. between 9 and 5 minutes inclusive, provided that:
the preceding aircraft is maintaining a true Mach number greater than the following air-
craft in accordance with the following:
– 9 minutes, if the preceding aircraft is Mach 0.02 faster than the following aircraft;
– 8 minutes, if the preceding aircraft is Mach 0.03 faster than the following aircraft;
– 7 minutes, if the preceding aircraft is Mach 0.04 faster than the following aircraft;
– 6 minutes, if the preceding aircraft is Mach 0.05 faster than the following aircraft;
– 5 minutes, if the preceding aircraft is Mach 0.06 faster than the following aircraft.
When the 10-minute longitudinal separation minimum with Mach number technique is applied, the
preceding aircraft shall maintain a true Mach number equal to or greater than that maintained by
the following aircraft.
RNAV distance-based separation minima shall not be applied after ATC has received pilot advice
indicating navigation equipment deterioration or failure.
Separation shall be established by maintaining not less than the specified distance between air-
craft positions as reported by reference to RNAV equipment. Direct controller-pilot communica-
tions should be maintained, while such separation is used. Where high frequency or general pur-
pose extended range very high frequency air-ground communication channels are used for area
control service and are worked by air-ground communicators, suitable arrangements shall be
made to permit direct controller-pilot communications, or monitoring by the controller of all air-
ground communications.
To assist pilots to readily provide the required RNAV distance information, such position reports
should, wherever possible, be referenced to a common waypoint ahead of both aircraft.
RNAV distance-based separation may be applied between RNAV-equipped aircraft when operat-
ing on designated RNAV routes or on ATS routes defined by VOR.
A 150km (80 NM) RNAV distance-based separation minimum with Mach number technique may
be used on same-direction tracks in lieu of a 10-minute longitudinal separation minimum with
Mach number technique, provided:
a. each aircraft reports its distance to or from the same “on-track” common point;
b. separation between aircraft at the same level is checked by obtaining simultaneous RNAV
distance readings from the aircraft at frequent intervals to ensure that the minimum will not
be infringed;
c. separation between aircraft climbing or descending is established by obtaining simultaneous
RNAV distance readings from the aircraft; and

ANNEX 2
3.2.5 Operations on and in the Vicinity of an Aerodrome
Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft within a Class
“B”, “C” or “D” surface area except for the purpose of landing at, or taking off, from an airport
within that area.
In addition, no person may, within a Class “B”, “C” or “D” surface area operate an aircraft to, from,
or on an airport having a control tower operated by the United States unless two-way radio com-
munications are maintained between that aircraft and the control tower.
3.3.1.2.2 The United States requires that domestic flight plans be submitted at least thirty
minutes before departure. For International flights, the United States recommends that they be
transmitted so that they are received by ATC authorities in each FIR to be entered, at least two
hours prior to entry, unless otherwise provided in that State’s requirements.
4.2 In the U.S., no person may operate an aircraft beneath the ceiling under VFR within the lat-
eral boundaries of controlled airspace designated to the surface for an airport when the ceiling is
less than 1000 feet. No person may take-off or land an aircraft (other than a helicopter) under
special VFR (SVFR) unless ground visibility is at least 1 statute mile or if ground visibility is not
reported, unless flight visibility is at least 1 statute mile.
The U.S. restricts the ceiling to 1000 feet and ground visibility of 3 miles and greater.

SURVEILLANCE PERFORMANCE (RSP) 180 AT UJUNG PANDANG FIR
Air operators and private operators may obtain a Special Authorization (SA) for Required Commu-
nications Performance specification (RCP 240) and Required Surveillance Performance specifica-
tion (RSP 180). This authorization will enable air operators to conduct operations in airspace
where Performance-Based Communications and Surveillance (PBCS) separations are being
applied, subject to the applicable requirements of the SA.
The provision of PBCS in the Ujung Pandang FIR applies RCP 240 and RSP 180 specifications to
the application of 93km (50 NM) separation minima.
The Air Traffic Services (ATS) system, Communications Service/Satellite Service Provider (CSP/
SSP) system, operator and the aircraft system must all comply with an RCP/RSP specification.
The PBCS requirements for the design of the aircraft system concern its functionality, interopera-
bility and performance in accordance with national airworthiness standards. There are no addi-
tional PBCS requirements concerning the production and airworthiness certificates other than
those required by national regulations.
Performance-based operations and monitoring have been implemented in the Ujung Pandang
FIR UTA (FL245 up to FL600) to ensure the ongoing safety and efficiency of ATM operations. The
performance of FANS 1/A (and equivalent), Controller-Pilot Data Link communications (CPDLC)
and Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) are monitored against the RCP 240

dang FIR on international routes.
Separation
50 NM minimum separation can be applied within Ujung Pandang FIR — base on DCPC and
ADS-C surveillance.
The AFN (ATS Facilities Notification) Logon
Before ADS-C/CPDLC connection can be established the aircraft must “LOGON” to be ground
system. This process is achieved via the ATS Facility Notification (AFN) LOGON process.
This process is initiated by the pilot in accordance with the company procedure. The call sign to
be used for AFN LOGON in the filled flight identifier which is the 3 alphabetic character airline
identification followed by up to 4 numeric characters without any leading zeroes.
The AFN LOGON for Ujung Pandang FIR is WAAF.
The AFN LOGON is a prerequisite to any CPDLC or ADS-C connection.
The AFN LOGON serves the following purpose:
To provide an Air Traffic Services Unit (ATSU) with the data link application context of the aircraft,
namely:
a. The ATS data link application supported on board (CPDLC, ADS-C).
b. Their version numbers, and
c. The associated addresses (in the FANS-1/A context, these are the ACARS addresses
unique to each aircraft).
To provide an ATS with information such as the flight identification and registration number.
To allow ATSU to establish both ADS-C and DPDLC connection, where applicable.
Data link — equipped aircraft from adjacent FIRs entering the airspace of the Ujung Pandang FIR
where data link services are not provided is required to manually LOGON at between 15 and 30
minutes before the Pilot's estimate for entering Ujung Pandang FIR.
Data link — equipped aircraft entering the boundary of the Ujung Pandang FIR at any point, is
required to send ADS-C/CPDLC position report message.
Data link — equipped aircraft departing from airport within the Ujung Pandang FIR and expecting
to transit the airspace where data link service are provided, should LOGON prior to the departure.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


The basic standards for instrument approach procedures applied to aircraft operating under
instrument flight are based primarily on those contained in ICAO Doc 8168/611/2 and those in the
United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Approach Procedures (TERPS), taking into con-
sideration the geographical circumstances of each airport.
Contact Approach
When requested by the pilot and ground visibility is at least 1500m, ATC may clear an aircraft,
traffic permitting, for a Contact Approach.
A Contact Approach may be executed when the pilot has the airport in sight, can maintain visual
reference with the terrain, and
a. the reported ceiling is at or above the initial approach level for the aircraft so cleared; or
b. the flight visibility at the initial approach level and at any other time during the approach is
greater than 1500m; and the pilot is reasonably assured that a landing can be accomplished
safely.
When requesting approval for a Contact Approach the pilot should notify the Control Tower of
intentions as to making a straight-in approach, or a circling approach, to include the direction of
turn.
Speed Limitations
Any aircraft shall not be operated at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 kts:
a. Within control zone;
b. At or below 3000m (10,000 ft) above mean sea level within approach control area.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1320
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

However if aircraft is instructed by ATC to be operated at a greater airspeed than the maximum
airspeed prescribed above, the aircraft may be operated at that airspeed, or if the minimum safe
airspeed to ensure safe operation is greater than the maximum airspeed prescribed above, the
aircraft may be operated at that minimum safe airspeed. The above provisions may not be applied
if permission is obtained from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


Approach Ban
An aircraft shall not takeoff or start an approach to land at any airport if the observed RVR is less
than the meteorological minimums for that airport.
Prior to commencing an instrument approach, if the weather conditions at the airport are below
the published or the pilot’s landing minimums, the pilot should notify the ATC facility or AFIS Units
and request clearance to hold or to proceed to an alternate airport.
After commencing an instrument approach and it is determined that the pilot can continue the
approach beyond a prescribed point such as the FAF, OM, 1000 ft above airport elevation or
other points accepted by the authority and if the reported weather conditions have worsened to
below the published or the pilot’s landing minimums, the pilot may continue the approach to DA or
MDA. An approach to land may be continued if the pilot, upon reaching the DA/H or MDA/H, finds
the actual weather conditions are at or above the lowest weather condition for landing.
NOTE: ATC will issue values of ceiling and ground visibility (RVR when observed) when weather
conditions are below the highest circling minimums.
Conversion of MET VIS into RVR/CMV
Where weather minima are concerned, if the reported RVR value is more than 2000m, CMV
should be applied instead. If only meteorological visibility is reported, the charted RVR/CMV value
can be substituted by reported meteorological visibility for straight-in instrument approaches in
accordance with Table 1 below. Table 1 shall not be applied when calculating Take-off, Category
II/III minimums or when a reported RVR is available.

EXAMPLE: At night, when approach and runway lights are in operation, the reported meteorologi-
cal visibility is 1200m and the required minimum for the approach is a CMV of 1600m. 1200m x 2
= 2400m, which is above the required CMV of 1600m.

Take-off Minimums
Take-off minima are as follows:
a. If RVR closest to the start point of the take-off run is reported, the RVR must be applied at
least. If the RVR closest to the start point of the take-off run is not reported, VIS must be
applied.
b. Operators can determine whether to apply other RVS(s) in addition to the RVR mentioned a)
above or not. When multiple RVRs are applied, all related RVR values must be above the
minima.
c. For night operations, runway edge and end lights (which indicates DER) must be in opera-
tion.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES


In order to reduce aircraft noise around on airport, the noise abatement operating procedures out-
lined below will be adopted, so as not sacrifice flight safety in any manner, taking into account and
adjusting to the environmental conditions of each airport.
Noise abatement procedures are adopted strictly within a range of not jeopardizing flight safety. If
a pilot-in-command determines that the execution of noise abatement procedures may interfere
with flight safety due to, for example, adverse weather conditions, the execution of these proce-
dures must be abandoned.
Noise abatement procedures stated herein are based, as far as possible, on ICAO guidance
materials. However, detailed procedures may differ among aircraft types due to aircraft character-
istics and to the extent of noise abatement effect. Therefore, detailed procedures for each aircraft
type are to be established by the operator going through due formalities as necessary.
Steepest Climb Procedure
This is a procedure which commences the climb, after reaching a specified altitude, restraining
acceleration with normal climb power and maintaining the flap position and the appropriate speed
to gain the maximum altitude in the shortest distance from end of the takeoff roll.
A typical example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is:
a. Takeoff to 1000 ft – 1500 ft AGL:
– Takeoff thrust;
– Takeoff flaps or optimum flap setting for noise reduction;
– Climb at a speed to gain maximum climb angle (or as limited by body angle), e.g., V2 + 10
kt or 1.3Vs whichever is greater.
b. At 1000 ft – 1500 ft AGL:
– Reduce thrust to climb thrust;
– Flaps and speed same as in a. above.
c. After passing an altitude of not less than 3000 ft AGL:
– Accelerate and retract flaps on schedule to enroute climb.
NADP2
This is a procedure for gaining altitude by increasing the lift with acceleration of speed, after
reaching a certain altitude, retracting the flap while maintaining a positive rate of climb. A typical
example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is shown below.
Take-off to 800 ft AGL:
– Take-off thrust;
– Take-off flaps or optimum flap settings for noise reduction;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1327
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

– Climb at speed to gain maximum climb angle (or as limited by body angle), e.g., V2 + 10 kts or
1.3Vs, whichever is greater.
After passing altitude not less than 800 ft AGL:
– Decrease aircraft body angle/angle of pitch while maintaining a positive rate of climb, acceler-
ate towards Vzf and either:
a. reduce power with the initiation of the first flap/slat retraction; or
b. reduce power after flap/slat retraction.
– To 3000 ft AGL maintain a positive rate of climb, and accelerate to and maintain a climb speed
of Vzf + 10 to 20 kts.
After passing altitude not less than 3000 ft AGL:
– Transition to normal enroute climb speed.
Thrust Cutback Climb Procedure
This is a procedure in which flight is made over noise sensitive areas with low noise levels.
Engine power is reduced after reaching a certain altitude to the extent that flight safety is not com-
promised. Once the noise sensitive area is passed, engine power is reapplied and the aircraft
continues a normal climb.
A typical example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is:
a. Take off to 1000 ft AGL:
– Take off thrust;
– Take off flaps or optimum flap setting for noise reduction;
– Climb at a speed to gain maximum climb angle (or as limited by body angle), e.g., V2 + 10
kt or 1.3Vs whichever is greater.
b. At 1000 ft AGL:
– Reduce thrust enough to maintain level flight with one engine inoperative;
– Flaps and speed same as a. above.
c. At 4000 ft AGL or after passing noise sensitive areas:
– Establish climb thrust;
– Accelerate and retract flaps on schedule to enroute climb.
Reduced Flap Setting Procedure
This is a procedure in which the landing is made with a shallower than normal landing flap angle
where there is a sufficient margin of runway length. The ground noise level is reduced in propor-
tion to engine power decrease due to the reduction of aerodynamic drag.
A typical example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1328
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Use, as the final landing flap setting, the minimum certificated landing flap setting (one setting
less than full flaps in the case of an airplane with several approved landing settings) set forth in
the approved performance section of the Airplane Flight Manual for the applicable conditions.
Delayed Flap Approach
This is a procedure which delays flap operation during approach within a range which does not
sacrifice flight safety. Ground noise levels, as in the reduced flap setting procedure, can be
reduced by engine power decrease due to aerodynamic drag reduction.
A typical example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is:
Extend final landing flaps after passing 1500 ft AGL or after passing the outer marker, whichever
is at the lowest altitude.
Reverse Thrust Restriction
In order to reduce aircraft noise, pilots may be requested to limit the use of reverse thrust to idle
reverse after landing, unless it adversely affects the safety of aircraft operations.
Preferential Runway
This is a procedure which may be used when one end of a runway is in an area not adversely
affected by aircraft noise, such as adjacent to water, etc. Takeoff and landing are preferentially
made at that end of the runway, in principle when a tailwind component, including gust effect, is
not greater than 5 kt and a crosswind component, including gust, is not greater than 15 kt (see
NOTE 1) and as long as passengers are not overly inconvenienced. In order to achieve maximum
safety, this procedure is not to be applied under the following circumstances:
a. When the condition of the specified runway is not suitable for landing or takeoff (see NOTE
2).
b. When the pilot-in-command determines that the use of another runway is necessary in con-
sideration of the safety of his aircraft operation.
c. When the possibility exists that orderly flow of traffic may be impeded.
d. The use of another runway is considered especially necessary for the purpose of special
training, inspection of navigational facilities, etc.
NOTE 1: The tailwind and crosswind values should be considered guidelines. In normal
cases a current jet transport can safely takeoff and land on a runway with good surface con-
ditions, as far as their performance is concerned, with a tailwind component of up to 10 kt
and a crosswind component of up to 25 kt.
NOTE 2: For example, braking action may be decreased due to adverse conditions of the
runway such as wet surface, snow, etc.
Noise Preferential Routes
In order to reduce aircraft noise in the vicinity of the airport, Noise Preferential Routes are estab-
lished to be applied during climb following take-off or approach for landing when overflying noise
sensitive area, unless it affects the safety of aircraft operations.

IMPLEMENTATION OF RNAV5 PREFERENTIAL OPERATIONS — SKY HIGHWAY


RNAV5 Preferential Operations should be enforced as follows.
Applicable Airspace
Between FL290 and FL410 inclusive within QNH application area except as the area within 55
NM radius of IWOTO TACAN (hereinafter referred as “Domestic Airspace”).
Operational Procedures
Generally, controller will assign the cruising altitude between FL290 and FL410 (hereinafter refer-
red as “RNAV preferential altitudes”) for only RNAV5 approved aircraft planning RNAV5 routes in
the part of flight plan.
ATC will use the following phraseology when the RNAV5 non-approved aircraft request RNAV
preferential altitudes.
EXAMPLE: “Unable FLxxx (through FLxxx) due to RNAV5 Preferential Operation. (Expect other
altitude will be assigned.)”
The non-approved aircraft in the following cases will be assigned RNAV preferential altitudes.
a. In case of avoiding turbulence or bad weather area.
b. In case a preferential handling is necessary.
c. In case controller judges that it is necessary to assign RNAV preferential altitudes tempora-
rily for establishment of ATC separation.
d. The state aircraft which has to fly RNAV preferential altitudes for their operational reasons.
e. In case aircraft exits from Domestic airspace to the outside of Domestic airspace. ATC will
instruct to change RNAV preferential altitudes in the appropriate time.
f. In case aircraft enters to Domestic airspace from the outside of Domestic airspace. ATC will
instruct to change appropriate altitude except RNAV preferential altitudes.

g. Between 1400 UTC and 2100 UTC. And in case ATC accept that RNAV 5 non-approved air-
craft may be assigned RNAV preferential altitudes as off-peak. However, RNAV5 approved
aircraft has priority for altitude assignment rather than RNAV 5 non-approved aircraft within
Domestic airspace.
Flight Planning
RNAV5 approved aircraft are required to plan RNAV5 routes when cruising RNAV preferential
altitudes.
Remarks: The operator for RNAV5 approved aircraft must specify “R” in item 10 and “PBN/B1-B6”
in item 18 of flight plan.
The operator for RNAV5 approved aircraft which intend to cruise RNAV preferential altitudes
needs to coordinate about their route of flight with Air Traffic Management Center (ATMC) if not
possible to plan RNAV5 routes to avoid bad weather or an excessive air traffic volume.

Deviations from ATC Clearances and Instructions in Compliance with a Wind Shear Alert
When the pilot of aircraft equipped with a wind shear alert system intends to execute wind shear
escape in Fukuoka FIR and encounters difficulty in complying with ATC clearance and instruction,
the pilot shall notify ATC unit of the condition as immediately as possible, workload permitting.
NOTE: Without pilot's notification, ATC unit is unable to be aware that the pilot is deviating from
ATC clearance and instruction in order to execute wind shear escape. Accordingly, pilot’s notifica-
tion is important to prevent ATC unit from issuing the clearance and instruction contrary to the
escape maneuver.
In order to maintain optimum separation with correlated traffic, pilot shall limit the deviations of the
flight paths or altitude to a minimum extent necessary to comply with the wind shear alert.
When a deviation from ATC clearance and instruction is initiated and then the threat no longer
exists, pilot shall return to the last assigned ATC clearance and instruction as long as feasible and
notify ATC unit of the circumstance. If the return is difficult, pilot is expected to request further
instruction after the immediate notification that the escape maneuver has been completed and
how their flight conditions are.
NOTE: ATC is unable to issue instruction or clearance unless the prescribed separation is
secured when a pilot requests further instruction or clearance. In this case, only traffic information
will be provided to the pilot.
Pilot shall use the following phraseologies in notifying ATC.

Controller’s responsibility for providing separation for all affected aircraft resumes when the pilot
informs a controller that wind shear escape maneuver is completed and the controller confirms
that the prescribed separation is reestablished.

If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clearance
shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a distress or urgency
signal as appropriate.
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 take the following actions:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system.
b. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals

Special Procedures for Aircraft Requiring Rapid Descent and/or Turn-back or Diversion to
an Alternate Airport due to Aircraft System Malfunction or Other Contingencies
Initial Action
If unable to comply with the above provisions to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the aircraft
should leave its assigned route or track by turning at least 30 degrees right or left whenever this is
possible. The direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to
any organized route or track system (for example, whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of,
or within the system). Other factors to consider are terrain clearance and the levels allocated to
adjacent routes or tracks.
Subsequent Action
AIRCRAFT ABLE TO MAINTAIN LEVEL
An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should acquire and maintain in either direction a
track laterally separated by 5 NM from its assigned route or track and once established on the
offset track, climb or descend 500 ft (150m).
AIRCRAFT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LEVEL
An aircraft NOT able to maintain its assigned level should, whenever possible, minimize its rate of
descent while turning to acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 5
NM from its assigned route or track. For subsequent level flight, a level should be selected which
differs by 500 ft (150m) from those normally used.
DIVERSION ACROSS THE FLOW OF ADJACENT TRAFFIC
Before commencing a diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should, while main-
taining the 5 NM offset, expedite climb above or descent below levels where the majority of
Pacific oceanic traffic operate (for example, to a level above FL400 or below FL290) and then
maintain a level which differs by 500 ft (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 ft above or below levels normally used until a new ATC clearance is obtained.

Weather Deviation Procedures


General Procedures
The following procedures are intended to provide guidance. All possible circumstances cannot be
covered. The pilot’s judgment shall ultimately determine the sequence of actions taken and ATC
shall render all possible assistance.
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather and prior clearance cannot be
obtained, ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time. In the meantime, the air-
craft shall follow the procedures detailed in Actions to Be Taken if a Revised Air Traffic Control
Clearance Cannot Be Obtained (see below).
The pilot shall advise ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather devi-
ation has been completed, and the aircraft has returned to the center line of its cleared route.
Obtaining Priority from ATC when Weather Deviation Is Required
When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice or
CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. stating WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
b. requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.
The pilot still retains the option of initiating the communications using the urgency call PAN PAN
(preferably spoken three times) to alert all listening parties to a special handling condition which
may receive ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance.
Actions to Be Taken when Controller-Pilot Communication Is Established
a. Pilot notifies ATC and requests clearance to deviate from track, advising, when possible, the
extent of the deviation expected.
b. One of the following actions will be taken by ATC:
1. If there is no conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension, clearance to deviate from
track will be issued.
2. If there is conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension, clearance to deviate from track
will be issued after establishing vertical separation.
3. If there is conflicting traffic in the horizontal dimension and ATC is unable to establish
vertical separation, ATC shall:
(a) advise the pilot unable to issue clearance for requested deviation;
(b) advise pilot of conflicting traffic;
(c) request pilot’s intentions.
SAMPLE PHRASEOLOGY: Unable (requested deviation); traffic is (call sign, position,
altitude, direction); advise intentions.

JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

c. Pilot will take the following actions:


1. Advise ATC of intentions by the most expeditious means available.
2. Comply with air traffic control clearance issued or
3. Execute the procedures detailed in Actions to Be Taken if a Revised Air Traffic Control
Clearance Cannot Be Obtained (see below) (ATC will issue essential traffic information
to all affected aircraft).
4. If necessary, establish voice communications with ATC to expedite dialogue on the sit-
uation.
Actions to Be Taken if a Revised Air Traffic Control Clearance Cannot Be Obtained
The pilot shall take the actions listed below under the provision that the pilot may deviate from
rules of the air (e.g., the requirement to operate on route or track center line unless otherwise
directed by ATC), when it is absolutely necessary in the interests of safety to do so.
If a revised air traffic control clearance cannot be obtained and deviation from track is required to
avoid adverse weather, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or ATS route system;
b. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals
on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF inter-
pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz is available):
1. Aircraft identification;
2. Altitude/flight level;
3. Position (including the ATS route designator or the Track code as appropriate);
4. Pilot’s intentions.
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped).
d. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).
e. Deviations of less than 5 NM, aircraft should remain at the level assigned by ATC.
f. Deviations greater than, or equal to 5 NM from track or deviations beyond cleared deviation
distance, initiate an altitude change based on the following criteria:
1. For aircraft eastbound (route bearing is 360-179 DEG MAG) deviations left of course
descend 300 ft. Deviations right of course climb 300 ft.;
2. For aircraft westbound (route bearing is 180-359 DEG MAG) deviations left of course
climb 300 ft. Deviations right of course descend 300 ft.
g. When returning to track, be at assigned FL or altitude when the aircraft is within 5 NM of cen-
terline.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1338
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

h. If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information.
NOTE: Paragraphs b. and c. above call for the pilot to broadcast aircraft position and pilot’s inten-
tions, identify conflicting traffic, and communicate air-to-air with nearby aircraft. If the pilot deter-
mines that there is another aircraft at or near the same FL with which his aircraft might conflict,
then the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE (MNT)


The MNT with 10 minutes longitudinal separation may be applied to aircraft operating in the
Fukuoka FIR on the same or continuously diverging routes within the oceanic control area.
The aircraft with ATC assigned Mach Number shall adhere to the Mach Number approved by
ATC and shall request ATC approval before making any change thereto. However, if essential to
make an immediate temporary change in the Mach Number, ATC shall be notified as soon as
possible that such a change has been made.
Aircraft with ATC-assigned Mach number shall report the Mach number in each position report
made on the route.
Position reports shall be amended to ATC if the original estimated time over a reporting point
needs correction for an error of 3 minutes or more.
If acceptable to the pilot, ATC may clear aircraft at a Mach number other than the one specified in
the flight plan to assure maintenance of longitudinal separation.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT (ATFM)
Air Traffic Flow Management (hereinafter referred to as “ATFM”) is a service established for the
purpose of making a safer aviation environment and more effective air traffic flow by ensuring that
the usage of ATC capacity is utilized to its maximum safe extent possible and actual air traffic
volume demand is compatible with the capacity declared by the appropriate ATS units.
ATFM services are provided within Incheon FIR and applied to air traffic service units and the
staffs, aircraft operators, and IFR flights within Incheon FIR.
ATCC (Air Traffic Command Center) will provide ATFM services in Incheon FIR:
– Management of ATFM restrictions from adjacent FIRs and/or ATC facilities in Incheon FIR
– Allocate ATFM subject flights by issuing COBT (Calculated Off Block Time) / CTOT (Calculated
Take Off Time)
– Other ATFM-relevant issue management.
Following ATC facilities operate FMU (Flow Management Unit):
– DAEGU – INCHEON ACC
– SEOUL – GIMHAE – JEJU approach
– INCHEON – GIMPO – JEJU airport
ATCC and FMUs operate 24 hours.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1342
KOREA, REPUBLIC OF

ATFM Operation
ATFM services will initiate when the following situations occur:
– When an imbalance between demand and capacity occurs or is predicted due to abnormal sit-
uations at the airport or airspace caused by adverse weather or malfunction of air navigation
aids, etc.
– When smooth air traffic flow is or is predicted to hinder due to traffic volume increase; and
– When restrictions are issued by adjacent countries in order to manage the balance of traffic
volume and demand at specific routes (fix)/airports/airspace.
– When ATCC or FMU determines that traffic volume adjustment is necessary.
The ATFM restrictions will be minimized to reduce the impact on the relevant aircraft.
ATFM Daily Plan
ADP (ATFM Daily Plan) will be issued at 0800 UTC daily to notify the following day’s ATFM plan
in advance.
ADP will contain restrictions on airport/airspace, start/end time, reason for the restrictions, and
expected ATFM measures.

f. In respect of West bound flight conducted along the airways penetrating the ADIZ, aircraft
shall, on first contact with the ATCC at the FIR boundary request an ADC only.
g. In respect of all flights conducted off airways, aircraft shall contact ATCC at least 10 minutes
before entering the ADIZ giving the ETA over the ADIZ boundary and requesting ATC.
Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the Director General, a pilot-in-command holding the
required instrument rating and flying an aircraft equipped for instrument flight, shall comply with
the Instrument Flight Rules even when not operating in IMC, when conducting a flight under any
of the following conditions:
a. in weather conditions other than those specified for Visual Meteorological Conditions;
b. above FL150;
c. by night;
d. over the sea at a distance of more than 20 NM from the land for more than one (1) hour;
e. in any other conditions which do not permit compliance with VFR;
f. at transonic and supersonic speeds.

PUSH-BACK AND TAXIING


When it is necessary for an aircraft to be pushed back prior to the commencement of taxiing, the
pilot in command shall obtain a clearance to push back before the commencement of the maneu-
ver. A clearance to taxi shall be obtained before further movement after completion of the push
back.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1352
MYANMAR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

A pilot in command shall obtain a clearance to taxi before leaving the parked position. This taxi
clearance will govern entrance to, and movement on, the taxiways but will not relate to movement
on the apron areas. Nevertheless, available essential information about other aircraft moving on
the same apron area will be given to any aircraft calling for taxi clearance.
Whenever an engine of a turbo-jet aircraft is operating on the ground, the aircraft anti-collision
light(s) shall be displayed.
Pilots of other aircraft should appreciate that the display on the ground of anti-collision lights by a
turbo-jet aircraft means that at least one of its engines is operating. They should ensure, there-
fore, that when maneuvering near these aircraft, they do so at a safe distance from the jet efflux.
Military turbo-jet aircraft should always be treated with caution as these aircraft may not display
anti-collision lights on the ground even though under power.
A pilot in command for whom a runway has been nominated for take-off, shall regard the taxi
clearance limit to be:
a. for piston-engined aircraft—the holding bay, if provided, otherwise the holding point for the
runway; and
b. for turbine-engined aircraft or aircraft which have reported “READY” before reaching the
holding bay—the holding point for the runway.
A separate clearance must be obtained before crossing or entering any runway by day or a
runway illuminated as a runway by night.
A pilot wishing to use less than the full length of the run available, shall nominate his intention to
the controller when requesting taxi instructions.
The Altimeter Setting Procedures in use conform to those contained in ICAO Doc. 8168–OPS/
611/3.
QFE altimeter settings are available on request.

IMPLEMENTATION OF AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


PROCEDURES OVER BAY OF BENGAL, SOUTH ASIA AND PAKISTAN
THROUGH KABUL FIR
PROVISION OF ATFM SERVICES
ATFM services are provided by Aeronautical Radio of Thailand LTD (AEROTHAI) from the Bang-
kok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (ATFMU) at Bangkok ACC. ATFM services will be limited to
calculation, promulgation and management of mandatory calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) and
flight level, ATS route and Calculated Time Over (CTO) at entry waypoint for entry into Kabul FIR
for each affected flight.
Air Navigation Services Providers (ANSPs) retain responsibility for the tactical management of
flights that are subject to ATFM. In discharging tactical responsibilities, Department Civil Aviation
Myanmar will manage non-ATFM compliant flights using delayed pushback and start clearances,
non- preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1353
MYANMAR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

The ATFMU utilises the automated, web based Bay of Bengal Cooperative ATFM System
(BOBCAT) system in meeting its ATFM responsibilities. These responsibilities will be managed in
coordination with aircraft operators and Department Civil Aviation Myanmar in the FIRs con-
cerned.

ATFM AFFECTED ATS ROUTES, FLIGHT LEVELS AND APPLICABLE HOURS


All westbound flights intending to enter the Kabul FIR between 2000 and 2359 UTC daily on ATS
routes and Flight Levels in Table 1 shall comply with the BOBCAT ATFM procedures contained in
this AIP Supplement. This includes a mandatory requirement for all flights to obtain a specific
ATFM slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR entry waypoint, allocated flight level, and alloca-
ted ATS route – from the Bangkok ATFMU for entry into the Kabul FIR during the period men-
tioned above.

Flights who plan to enter Kabul FIR without an ATFM slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry waypoint, allocated flight level, and allocated ATS route – will be accommodated only after
flights with slots have been processed. Such flights should expect delayed pushback and start
clearances, non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around
Kabul FIR.
In order to ensure availability of slots for westbound departures from designated airports in north-
ern India and Pakistan, departures from these airports are given priority for FL280 in the slot allo-
cation. This does not preclude these flights from requesting higher flight levels with initial slot
request.

FLIGHTS EXEMPTED FROM BOBCAT ATFM


The following flights are exempted from the BOBCAT ATFM procedures:
– Flights experiencing an emergency, including aircraft subjected to unlawful interference;
– Flights on search and rescue or fire fighting missions;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1354
MYANMAR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

– Urgent medical evacuation flights or humanitarian flights specifically declared by State medical
authorities that flight delays would put the life of patients aboard at risk; and
– Flights with “Head of State” status.
NOTE: After medical flights have completed their mission, they should be subject to ATFM meas-
ures. Scheduled passenger transfer flights are, by their nature, non-urgent and should not be
given priority under normal operational situation.
Flights exempted from ATFM procedures shall indicate the exemption in their flight plan (Field 18
– ATFM EXMP).
Yangon ACC and aerodrome AIS Unit shall forward the flight plan information to the Bangkok
ATFMU at AFTN address VTBBZDZX.

MANDATORY CTOT AND KABUL FIR SLOT ALLOCATION


Affected flights shall obtain the mandatory Kabul FIR slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry waypoint, and allocated flight level and ATS route – from the BOBCAT system. The Kabul
FIR slot allocation will enable Department Civil Aviation Myanmar to tactically control westbound
flights transiting the Kabul FIR at specified times by assigning minimum spacing requirements at
established gateway fix points in the vicinity of the eastern boundary of the Kabul FIR.
The application, calculation and distribution of CTOT and associated Kabul FIR entry waypoint
slot allocations will be managed via internet access to the BOBCAT system in accordance with
the ATFM operating procedures in paragraphs below.

BOBCAT ATFM OPERATING PROCEDURES


All affected flights are required to submit slot requests to the BOBCAT system by logging onto
https://www.bobcat.aero between 0001 and 1200 UTC on day of flight and completing the elec-
tronic templates provided.
Affected operators who do not have dedicated BOBCAT username/password access should com-
plete the application form as soon as possible.
Slot Allocation Process
Slot Request Submission
Slot requests including preferred ATS route, flight level and Maximum Acceptable Delay (MAD)
should be lodged between 0001 UTC and 1200 UTC on the day of flight. Slot requests may sub-
sequently be amended prior to 1200 UTC, which is the cut-off time. Aircraft operators are encour-
aged to submit additional slot request options in case their first choice is not available. This may
include variations to ATS route, flight level and MAD.
Slot requests shall be for flight parameters that are able to be met by the flight. For example,
flights requesting a slot at FL390 must be able to transit Kabul FIR at FL390. Flights subsequently
unable to meet slot parameters (flight level, ATS route or CTO at entry waypoint) should expect
non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1355
MYANMAR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

As BOBCAT will allocate FL280 on a priority basis to facilitate departures from northern India and
Pakistan underneath over-flying traffic, flights departing these airports are encouraged to include
FL280 as at least one slot request preference.
Flights that were not allocated a slot in the initial slot allocation, are not satisfied with the allocated
slot or did not submit a slot request should select slots from the listing of remaining unallocated
slots available immediately after slot distribution has been completed.
Slot Allocation and Distribution
Slot allocation will commence at the cut-off time at 1200 UTC. BOBCAT will process and generate
the slot allocation based on the information submitted in the slot requests. Notification of slot allo-
cation will be made not later than 1230 UTC via the ATFMU website. Alternative arrangements for
notification of slot distribution (e.g. E-mail, Fax, and Telephone) should be coordinated with the
ATFMU.
After the slot allocation has been published at https://www.bobcat.aero, aircraft operators can:
a. Use the slot allocation result for ATS flight planning purposes,
b. Cancel the allocated slot and/or,
c. Change slot allocation to another available slot in the published list of unallocated slots.
Submission of ATS Flight Plan
Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight plan
using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
In addition to normal AFTN addressees, operators should also address flight plan (FPL) and rela-
ted ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the ATFMU via AFTN address VTBBZDZX for all
flights that have submitted a slot request.

AIRCRAFT OPERATOR/PILOT IN COMMAND


Aircraft Operator/Pilot in Command
In accordance with ICAO PANS ATM provisions, it is the responsibility of the Pilot in Command
(PIC) and the aircraft operator to ensure that the aircraft is ready to taxi in time to meet any
required departure time. PIC shall be kept informed by their operators of the CTOT, CTO at Kabul
FIR entry waypoint and flight parameters (route/Flight level) allocated by BOBCAT.
The PIC, in collaboration with ATC, shall arrange take-off as close as possible to CTOT in order
to meet the allocated CTO at Kabul FIR entry waypoint.

COORDINATION BETWEEN AIRCRAFT OPERATOR/PILOT IN COMMAND,


DEPARTMENT CIVIL AVIATION MYANMAR AND BANGKOK ATFMU
The PIC shall include the CTOT in the initial ATC clearance request.
PIC shall adjust cruise flight to comply with slot parameters at the Kabul FIR entry waypoint,
requesting appropriate ATC clearances including speed variations in accordance with published
AIP requirements.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1356
MYANMAR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Prior to departure, in circumstances where it becomes obvious that the Kabul slot time will not be
met, a new slot allocation should be obtained as soon as possible and via the most expeditious
means (e.g. via coordination between flight dispatcher, PIC, Yangon ACC and Bangkok ATFMU).
Early advice that the Kabul slot time will be missed also enables the slots so vacated to be effi-
ciently reassigned to other flights.
Prior to departure, in the event that the aircraft is unable to meet the Kabul slot time, when
requested by the PIC after the aircraft has left the gate Yangon ACC shall assist the PIC to coor-
dinate with the ATFMU for a revised slot allocation.
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for NOTAMs
regarding any planned activities that may affect slot availability (e.g. reservation of airspace/
closure of airspace, non-availability of routes, etc.).
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for ATS mes-
sages (e.g. FPL, DEP, DLA, CHG, CNL) relating to flights subject to ATFM procedures.
A missed slot results in dramatically increased coordination workload for ATC and PIC and should
be avoided. To minimize coordination workload in obtaining a revised slot allocation, the following
procedures are recommended:
a. If the flight is still at the gate, coordination should take place via operators/flight dispatchers
to ATFMU;
b. If the flight has left the gate, coordination to ATFMU may also take place via the ATS unit
presently communicating with the flight.

OPERATIONS BY AIRCRAFT NOT MEETING RNP 10


An aircraft that is unable to meet the minimum navigational requirements for RNP 10 must file
flight plan at FL280 or below. Operations above FL280 for these aircraft will be subject to ATC
approval, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph below.
ATC units receiving a request for a non-RNP 10 approved aircraft to operate on ATS routes listed
above, at or above FL290, will coordinate with adjacent ATC units affected by the flight. In decid-
ing whether or not to approve the flight, each ATC unit will take into consideration:
a. traffic density;
b. communications, including the non-availability of normal communications facilities;

c. weather conditions enroute; and


d. any other factors pertinent at the time.

WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATION MINIMA


For arrival aircraft operating into Singapore Changi Airport, distance-based wake turbulence sep-
aration minima based on the seven wake turbulence groups will be applied.

DATA LINK SERVICES IN THE SINGAPORE FIR


Data link services are available to FANS 1/A compatible aircraft (which are compliant to RTCA
DO- 258A or ED EUROCAE 100A) on ATS Routes G334, L504, L517, L625, L642, L644, L649,
M646, M753, M758, M761, M767, M768, M771, M772, M904, N875, N884, N891 and N892 in the
Singapore FIR daily on a 24-hour basis.
Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance
(ADS) data link applications will be used to provide services to FANS 1/A equipped aircraft, in
particular within the Singapore FIR beyond the range of existing radar/ADS-B and VHF voice
communications.
Messages will be transferred by VHF and satellite data link.
CPDLC supports the following services:
a. Emergency alerting;
b. Pilot to Controller downlink of position reports and clearance requests;
c. Controller to Pilot uplink of ATC clearances and instructions; and
d. Free text as a supplement to pre-formatted message elements.
Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC is available on selected ATS routes/destinations.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) supports automatic reporting by the aircraft Flight Man-
agement System (FMS) of aircraft position and intent information. The FMS reports the required
information in accordance with parameters selected by the ground system.

LOGON PROCEDURES
The AFN LOGON address for the Singapore FIR is WSJC.
To avoid automatic rejection of the LOGON, the flight identification number used by the pilot in the
LOGON process must be identical to the flight identification number filed in the flight plan.
A LOGON must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initiated by
the ground system. This is achieved via the ATS facility notification (AFN) LOGON process to be
initiated by the pilot in accordance with company procedures.
Aircraft requesting data link services inbound to Singapore FIR are required to manually LOGON
onto WSJC at least 10 minutes prior to the estimated time for entering Singapore FIR. Data link
equipped aircraft departing from airports within the Singapore FIR and requesting data link may
LOGON to WSJC prior to departure. Pilots who are unable to establish a data link connection are
to inform ATC on VHF or HF RTF.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1363
SINGAPORE
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Pilots are reminded to provide the flight level on first contact with HF, including when established
on data link.

APPLICATION OF CPDLC
Aircraft operating outside radar coverage and not in the ADS-B exclusive airspace within the Sin-
gapore FIR shall establish contact with ATC using CPDLC as a primary means of communication
except for the following:
a. prior instruction to contact ATC on VHF;
b. receive notice that CPDLC service is not available; and
c. during data link outage.
To ensure the correct synchronization of messages, controller/pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC
must be closed by CPDLC. Controller/pilot dialogues opened by voice must be closed by voice.
Due to inherent integrity checks and a coded reference to any preceding related message con-
tained within CPDLC messages, a clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate
CPDLC response, not a read-back as would be required if the clearance had been issued by
voice.
The down link response “WILCO” indicates that the pilot accepts the full terms of the whole uplink
message.
A down link response “AFFIRM” is not an acceptable acknowledgement or reply to a CLEAR-
ANCE issued by CPDLC.
To avoid ambiguity in message handling and response, a CPDLC downlink message should not
contain more than one clearance request.
If multiple clearance requests are contained in a single downlink message and the controller
cannot approve all requests, the uplink message element “UNABLE” will be sent as a response to
the entire message. A separate message containing a response to those requests that can be
complied with will be sent by the controller.
If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarification must be sought by
voice.
Standard pre-formatted message elements must be used whenever possible. Free text messages
should be used only when an appropriate pre-formatted message element does not exist or to
supplement the pre-formatted message element. The use of free text should be kept to a mini-
mum.
When CPDLC connection is established, aircraft will be instructed to transfer from voice to
CPDLC. The phraseology used is:
TRANSFER TO SINGAPORE CONTROL ON DATA LINK [position];
MONITOR [HF frequency primary/secondary].
Pilots should down link a CPDLC position report upon position over first compulsory reporting
point when aircraft enters Singapore FIR. Pilots are also required to make AIREPs at ATS/MET
reporting points using CPDLC regardless of ADS connection.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1364
SINGAPORE
RULES AND PROCEDURES

CPDLC connections will be terminated at the FIR boundary position or when entering radar cover-
age. The CONTACT [unit name] [frequency] message and the END SERVICE message will be
sent as separate messages. The END SERVICE message will be sent as soon as possible after
receipt of the WILCO response to the CONTACT message.

APPLICATION OF ADS
ADS Periodic contracts will be established automatically on receipt of a LOGON.
The Periodic reporting rate is 10 minutes for aircraft operating outside radar coverage and 20
minutes for aircraft operating within radar coverage.
For ADS logged-on aircraft, CPDLC position reports are not required except when the following
event occurs:
a. upon position over first compulsory reporting point when aircraft enters Singapore FIR;
b. aircraft at ATS/MET reporting point.
ADS contracts will be terminated automatically at a system parameter time after the aircraft has
left the Singapore FIR.

the territories of Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore, except for an area of radius 10 nautical miles
centered on Mount Kinabalu where the lowest safe altitude will be 15,000 ft (4570 meters) and the
lowest usable flight level will be FL170.
QFE altimeter setting will be made available on request but reports to ATC will be made in alti-
tudes.
It is the pilots' responsibility to select a flight level which will give adequate terrain clearance using
forecast pressure information.

SEMI-CIRCULAR SYSTEM OF CRUISING LEVELS WITHIN THE SINGAPORE FIR


The pilot-in-command of an IFR flight at or above 3000 ft within controlled airspace and above

MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE (MNT) AND AREA NAVIGATION (RNAV)


Only aircraft equipped with RNAV systems would be able to operate on the RNAV routes in the
revised South China Sea ATS route structure which forms part of the Singapore FIR. Aircraft that
are not RNAV compliant will only be cleared to operate on non-RNAV routes.
The requirements for conduct of RNAV operations are stated in ICAO Doc 9613 (Manual on
Required Navigation Performance) and FAA AC 90-45 (Approval of Area Navigation Systems for
use in the US National Airspace System) (not published herein).
Minimum longitudinal separation of 10 minutes between RNAV equipped aircraft based on Mach
Number Technique is applied on ATS routes A464, A576, B470, G334, L625, L642, L644, L649,
L762, M646, M751, M753, M758, M761, M767, M768, M771, M772, M774, N875, N884, N891

RULES AND PROCEDURES

When ATFM measures are applied, the Singapore ATFM Unit (ATFMU) will assign Calculated
Take-Off Times (CTOTs) to flights departing from the airports listed in the paragraph above plan-
ning to arrive into Singapore Changi Airport.
Airspace users (AUs) and ATS units (ATSUs) are advised to refer to the Air Traffic Flow Manage-
ment (ATFM) Portal to access CTOTs and/or other pertinent ATFM information via the Civil Avia-
tion Authority Singapore (CAAS) Webpage, link provided: http://www.caas.gov.sg/e-services/air-
traffic-flow-management.
Compliance to CTOT during the ATFM operation is important; it contributes to the realization of
the ATFM plan. It would assist in the reduction of the need for tactical airborne delay, promoting a
safer and more efficient operating environment for aircraft operators (AOs) and AUs.
All airspace users planning to arrive into WSSS shall:
a. file and submit FPLs at least 3 hours before the Estimated Off Block Time (EOBT);
b. transmit the appropriate ATS messages (CHG/DLA) when the EOBT changes by more than
15 minutes; and
c. transmit CNL message if the flight is cancelled after the submission of FPL.
FPLs and ATS messages should be addressed to WSJCZQZX.

ATFM OPERATIONS FOR FLIGHTS PLANNING TO OPERATE WITHIN THE


SINGAPORE FIR
The Singapore ATFM Unit (ATFMU) may implement ATFM measures to facilitate ATC of flow
restrictions originated by downstream ATSUs, with the aim to provide a higher level of predictabil-
ity for AUs and affected upstream ATSUs when operating in the Singapore FIR. For example, flow
restriction on a given ATS route in a form of Minutes-in-trail MINIT at downstream segments
would be converted into CTOT, and/or Calculated Time Over (CTO) at a given waypoint within the
Singapore FIR.
Procedures for flight plan submission for such ATFM facilitation would be coordinated tactically by
the Singapore ATFMU with AUs and affected upstream ATSUs. The transmit of the appropriate
ATS messages would take reference from paragraph above.
NOTE: In general, Singapore ATFMU would request for FPL to be filed and submitted within 1
hour from the notification of the activation of ATFM measure.
FPLs and ATS messages should be addressed to WSJCZQZX.

SINGAPORE ATFMU CONTACT INFORMATION AND WEB CONFERENCE


When ATFM measures are implemented, Singapore ATFMU will open a CDM channel for AUs
and affected ATSUs through active web conferencing facilities and ATFM helpdesk thereafter to

BAY OF BENGAL COOPERATIVE ATFM (BOBCAT)


Introduction
The states of the ICAO Asia/Pacific Region within the Bay of Bengal, South Asia and Pakistan
airspace have implemented an automated Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) service under the
auspices of the ICAO Bay of Bengal ATS Coordination Group – ATFM Task Force.
ATFM services are provided by Aeronautical Radio of Thailand LTD (AEROTHAI) from the Bang-
kok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (ATFMU) at Bangkok ACC. ATFM services will be limited to
calculation, promulgation and management of mandatory Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) and
Kabul FIR flight level, ATS route and Calculated Time-Over (CTO) entry waypoint for each affec-
ted flight.
ATFM Affected ATS Routes, Flight Levels and Applicable Hours
All westbound flights intending to enter Kabul FIR between 2000 UTC and 2359 UTC daily on
ATS routes and flight levels specified in the Table below shall comply with the BOBCAT ATFM
procedure. This includes a mandatory requirement to obtain ATFM slot allocation – CTOT, CTO
at Kabul FIR entry waypoint, allocated flight level and allocated ATS route from Bangkok ATFMU
for entry into Kabul FIR.

Flights that plan to enter Kabul FIR without an ATFM slot allocation will be accommodated only
after flights with slots have been processed. Such flights should expect delayed pushback and
start clearances, non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around
Kabul FIR.
The following flights are exempted from the ATFM procedures:
a. Flights experiencing an emergency, including aircraft subjected to unlawful interference;
b. Flights on search and rescue or firefighting missions;
c. Urgent medical evacuation flights or humanitarian flights specifically declared by State medi-
cal authorities that flight delays would put the life of patients aboard at risk; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1374

d. Flights with “Head of State” status.


NOTE: After medical flights have completed their mission, they should be subjected to ATFM
measures. Scheduled passenger transfer flights are, by their nature, non-urgent and should not
be given priority under normal operational situation.
Flights exempted from ATFM procedures shall indicate the exemption in their flight plan as fol-
lows: (Field 18 – STS-BOB ATFM EXMP).

MANDATORY CTOT AND KABUL FIR SLOT ALLOCATION


Affected flights shall obtain the mandatory CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR entry time, flight level and
ATS route from the BOBCAT system. The CTOT and Kabul slot allocation will enable ANSPs to
tactically control westbound flights transiting the Kabul FIR at specified times by assigning mini-
mum spacing requirements at established gateway fix points in the vicinity of the eastern boun-
dary of the Kabul FIR.
The application, calculation and distribution of CTOT and Kabul FIR entry waypoint slot alloca-
tions will be managed via internet access to the BOBCAT system in accordance with the ATFM
operating procedures.

BOBCAT OPERATING PROCEDURES


All affected flights are required to submit their slot requests to the BOBCAT system by logging
onto https://www.bobcat.aero between 0100 UTC and 1159 UTC on the day of flight and complet-
ing the electronic templates provided.
Stakeholders are able to view the slot allocation results at https://www.bobcat.aero which will be
published no later than 1230 UTC. Alternative arrangements for notification of slot distribution
(e.g. email, fax, telephone) should be coordinated with the Bangkok ATFMU.
After the slot allocation has been published at https://www.bobcat.aero, aircraft operators can:
a. use the slot allocation result for ATS flight planning purposes;
b. cancel the allocated slot; and / or
c. change slot allocation to another available slot in the published list of unallocated slots.
Affected aircraft operators who do not have dedicated BOBCAT username/password access
should complete the application form provided and fax it to the ATFMU as soon as possible.

SUBMISSION OF ATS FLIGHT PLAN


Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight plan
using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
In addition to the normal addressees, Singapore AIS will also address the flight plan (FPL) and
related ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the Bangkok ATFMU via AFTN address
VTBBZDZX for all flights that have submitted a slot request.

SIMULTANEOUS INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES
INTRODUCTION
Simultaneous independent parallel approaches will be implemented daily between 0000 UTC and
1500 UTC to optimize runway utilization and enhance air traffic efficiency.

PROCEDURES FOR SIMULTANEOUS INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES


To ensure safe operations between aircraft on the parallel approaches, Normal Operating Zones
(NOZs) are established for each extended runway centerline and a No Transgression Zone (NTZ)
is established between the NOZs.
ATC will vector arriving flights into Singapore Changi Airport from the final waypoint of the respec-
tive STARs to the respective NOZs.
Within the NOZ, ATC shall provide a minimum vertical separation of 1000 ft or 3 NM surveillance
separation between pairs of aircraft until both aircraft are established on the ILS Localizer course.
ATC is not required to provide separation between aircraft on adjacent ILS Localizers and will
monitor aircraft for deviation from the approach path.
Aircraft can expect to maintain altitude 3500 ft till Glide Path Interception for Runway 20R/02L and
2500 ft till Glide Path Interception for Runway 20C/02C. This is to ensure the necessary vertical
separation prior to establishing on the respective ILS Localizer course.
Aircraft can expect the following radiotelephony phraseology when intercepting the ILS:
a. to intercept the Localizer before clearing for ILS
“TURN LEFT (RIGHT) HEADING (three digits) MAINTAIN (altitude) REPORT ESTAB-
LISHED ON THE LOCALIZER RUNWAY (number) LEFT (CENTER/RIGHT)”
followed by
“MAINTAIN (altitude), CLEARED FOR ILS APPROACH RUNWAY (number) LEFT
(CENTER/RIGHT)”
or
b. to intercept ILS
“TURN LEFT (RIGHT) HEADING (three digits) MAINTAIN (altitude), CLEARED FOR ILS
APPROACH RUNWAY (number) LEFT (CENTER/RIGHT)”
Aircraft can expect to maintain speed 180 kts at base turn or earlier till 8 NM from touchdown.

BREAK-OUT MANEUVER
When an aircraft is observed to have not established on the appropriate Localizer course or devi-
ated from its course towards the NTZ, ATC will instruct the aircraft to return immediately to the
correct Localizer course with the following radiotelephony phraseology:
“YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LOCALIZER, TURN LEFT (or RIGHT) IMMEDIATELY AND
RETURN TO THE LOCALIZER”
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1376
SINGAPORE
RULES AND PROCEDURES

or
“TURN LEFT (or RIGHT) TO RETURN TO LOCALIZER COURSE”
When ATC observed aircraft to be penetrating or will penetrate the NTZ, ATC will instruct the air-
craft on the adjacent Localizer course to alter course to avoid the deviating aircraft with the follow-
ing radiotelephony phraseology:
“TRAFFIC ALERT, TURN LEFT (or RIGHT) IMMEDIATELY HEADING (degrees), CLIMB AND
MAINTAIN (altitude)”

PILOT NOTIFICATION AND CONDITIONS FOR OPERATIONS


Simultaneous approaches to parallel runways operation will be broadcast on ATIS during the
active period.
Simultaneous approaches to the parallel runways will be suspended in the event of adverse
weather or any other conditions that may affect the safe conduct of such approaches to the paral-
lel runways.

DEPARTURE CLEARANCE (DCL) VIA DATALINK ON SELECTED ATS
ROUTES
INTRODUCTION
DCL service provides an automated platform for requesting and issuance of departure clearance
via datalink between the pilot and ATC. DCL will be able to reduce congestion on the Clearance
Delivery radio frequency and also minimize errors as compared to voice communications.

AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENTS
Aircraft need to be equipped with Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System
(ACARS) to support DCL application and be compliant with the European Organisation for Civil
Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) ED-85A (Data Link Application System Document (DLASD) for
the DCL datalink service) and ARINC Specification 623-3.

APPLICATION OF DCL SERVICE


The Singapore application of DCL is in accordance with ED-85A.
The logon ID of the ground system for the provision of DCL service is WSSS.
DCL service is only applicable for flights departing from WSSS to the following routes/destina-
tions:
a. Destinations in Peninsular Malaysia via ATS Routes A457 and B466;
b. Destinations in Thailand via ATS Routes B466 and B469/M751;
c. Destinations in Indonesia via ATS Route A457, R469 and B470;
d. Destinations in Australia and New Zealand via ATS Route B470;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1377

e. Flights with allocated Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) under Bay of Bengal Cooperative
Air Traffic Flow Management (BOBCAT).
DCL message format does not include the requested cruising level and final cruising level.
a. The planned flight level (PFL) filed in flight plan field 15b will be used as requested level
unless otherwise specified by pilot.
b. Final cruising level will be assigned by Singapore ATC after airborne and it is subjected to
traffic disposition. No on-ground level negotiations or reservations are allowed.
DCL service does not provide clearance revision. Any revision to the clearance issued via datalink
will be made by ATC through voice communications.
Clearance request through VHF using the existing voice procedures is still available for applicable
flights under the DCL service.

DCL VIA DATALINK PROCEDURES


DCL request through RCD message shall be made no earlier than 20 minutes before Target Off-

The airspace within the Bangkok FIR is designated in accordance with ICAO airspaces classifica-
tion.
All ATS routes within Bangkok FIR are as follows:
Class “A” — from FL290 and above.
Class “B” — from FL280 and below.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


The following RNAV routes within Bangkok FIR are RNP 10:
L301, L507, L524, N895, P646.

RNP10 NAVIGATION REQUIREMENT


ATC will apply 50 NM longitudinal separation minima between suitably equipped aircraft which
are approved for RNP10 operations utilizing ADS-C/CPDLC or VHF communications under the
following conditions:
50 NM longitudinal separation may be applied between RNP10 approved aircrafts with DCPC
(VHF or CPDLC) operating on L507.
50 NM longitudinal separation may be applied between RNP10 approved aircrafts equipped
with serviceable ADS-C/CPDLC, operating on P646, N895, L524 and L301. The releasing ATC
unit will ensure ADS-C/CPDLC serviceability before applying 50 NM longitudinal separation.
Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) will be used as primary means of fulfill-
ing Direct Controller-Pilot Communications (DCPC) requirement for providing 50 NM longitu-
dinal separation between RNP10 aircraft on these ATS routes.
To ensure ADS-C/CPDLC serviceability before applying 50 NM longitudinal separation, pilot
of westbound traffic intending to operate on P646, N895, L524 and L301 shall log on to
Yangon CPDLC (VYYF) at least 50 NM before entering Yangon FIR and inform Bangkok
ATC upon CPDLC is successfully established with VYYF.
For flights intending to land within Yangon FIR, ADS-C/CPDLC will not be required.
Flight plans must be submitted for all international and domestic operations using the ICAO flight
plan form. The flight plan shall be submitted by pilot-in-command or designated representative, at
least 1 hour prior to the estimated time of departure.
Bangkok ACC does not read Item 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan. Therefore aircraft entering the
Bangkok FIR (ACC Hochiminh and Phnom Penh FIRs) on route segments where MNT is applied
are required to add the letter “Z” in Item 10 of the flight plan in addition to NAV/AUSEP in Item 18.

AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) Service and Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management
Unit (Bangkok ATFMU)
For the Bangkok FIR, the ATFM services are provided by Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Ltd
(AEROTHAI) from Bangkok Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (Bangkok ATFMU). The services
provided comprise preparation and distribution of ATFM Daily Plan (ADP), planning and issuance
of ATFM measures to balance demand and capacity in airspace sectors and airports, monitoring
and post-operations analysis of ATFM measure compliance, and the provision of ATFM service
for westbound flights transiting Kabul FIR between 2000 to 2359 UTC. Note that while ATFM
measure(s) are in effect, both international and domestic flights may be subjected to such ATFM
measures. As Bangkok ATFMU operates on a 24-hour basis, ATFM measure(s) may be initiated
as and when necessary.
Insofar as possible, Bangkok ATFMU will provide advance notification of an ATFM measure to be
initiated and their effective period. In the case of pre-planned events, NOTAM will be issued
informing stakeholders of ATFM measure to be used. In the case of unplanned events, such as
forecast adverse weather, an ATFM Daily Plan (ADP) and/or NOTAM will be issued to provide
advance notification.
Procedure for Ground Delay Program (GDP) through Issuance of Calculated Take-Off Time
(CTOT)
One of the key ATFM measures used by Bangkok ATFMU to balance arrival demand against
congested resource capacity is Ground Delay Program (GDP) through the issuance of Calculated
Take-Off Time (CTOT). CTOTs are calculated based on expected arrival times of flights at the
congested resource, adjusted to achieve suitable flow rate, and should provide airspace users
with awareness of their departure times. When GDP is activated, all relevant stakeholders (ATS
units, airspace users, airport operators, and ground handlers) are requested to adhere to the fol-
lowing procedure:
Flight Plan (FPL) for flights operating through Thailand, departing from or landing in airport in
Thailand should be submitted not less than 3 hours prior to Estimated Off-Block Time (EOBT)
except where necessary for operational and technical reasons.
Delay Message (DLA) should be transmitted when departure of an aircraft, for which basic flight
plan data (FPL) has been sent, is delayed by more than 15 minutes after the Estimated Off-Block
Time contained in the latest submitted basic flight plan data.
Prior to the activation of Ground Delay Program (GDP), an ATFM Daily Plan (ADP) will be distrib-
uted to all stakeholders via provided e-mail addresses. Should the address not be updated, stake-
holders can contact Bangkok ATFMU to make necessary revision.
On the day of operations, when possible, Bangkok ATFMU will host a web conference to discuss
the GDP operations. Following the briefing, the conference room will remain open as a Help Desk
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1390
THAILAND
RULES AND PROCEDURES

to provide assistance and facilitate CTOT management for stakeholders. The web conference
address will be included in the ADP.
CTOTs will be distributed to stakeholders via e-mail and AFTN messages. They will also be pub-
lished at http://atfm.aerothai.aero. No password is required for accessing the CTOT distribution
page.
For flights with CTOTs, crews shall plan their flights to be ready for pushback at an appropriate
timing such that Take-Off Time (TOT) will be in compliance with CTOT.
For flights with CTOTs and departing from airports within Bangkok FIR, follow additional clear-
ance delivery requirement as follows:
a. Flights departing from VTBS and VTBD: Crews shall contact ATC for push-back and start-up
clearance at least 20 minutes prior to CTOTs.
b. Flights departing from other airports: crews shall contact ATC for push-back and start-up
clearance at least 15 minutes prior to CTOTs.
c. ATC shall provide best assistance to ensure flights complying with the above timeframe can
takeoff within CTOT compliance window. Failure to comply with the above timeframe may
result in further gate holding, and ATC may request crews to obtain new CTOT from Bang-
kok ATFMU (through their flight operations/dispatch).
Flights with CTOTs operating out of an A-CDM airport, where CTOT is integrated into the A-CDM
process, are advised to comply with the local A-CDM procedure.
CTOT compliance windows are provided for ATC at the departure airport to accord operational
flexibility in handling airport traffic conditions. CTOT compliance windows are defined as:
a. -5/+10 minutes for CTOTs assigned in response to constrained arrival airports;
b. -5/+5 minutes for CTOTs assigned in response to constrained airspace volumes.
Insofar as practicable, ATC shall manage flights to depart as close to the CTOT as possible.
Should there be any change to flight’s operating time (CHG, DLA), airspace user shall contact
Bangkok ATFMU as soon as possible to obtain a new CTOT prior to ATC Clearance request to
avoid excessive delay. As a general rule, airspace users are responsible for new CTOT requests
with Bangkok ATFMU while their aircraft are still at the parking bays (before off-block); once the
aircraft has been cleared for pushback, ATC shall assist in obtaining new CTOT if needed due to
ground movement issues.
For flights originally operating outside of the GDP period but delaying into it, airspace users shall
contact Bangkok ATFMU to obtain CTOT as soon as possible and prior to clearance delivery. If
uncertain whether the flight should be subjected to GDP, contact Bangkok ATFMU to verify.

includes calculation, promulgation, and management of mandatory Calculated Take-Off Time


(CTOT) and flight level, ATS route, and Calculated Time-Over (CTO) at entry waypoint for entry
into Kabul FIR for each affected flight.
Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) retain responsibility for the tactical management of
flights that are subjected to this ATFM measure. In discharging tactical responsibilities, ANSPs
will manage non-ATFM compliant flights using delayed pushback and start clearances, non-pre-
ferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
BOBCAT ATFM-affected ATS Routes, Flight Levels, and Applicable Period
All westbound flights intending to enter the Kabul FIR between 2000 and 2359 UTC daily on ATS
routes and Flight Level in Table 1 shall comply with the BOBCAT ATFM procedures contained
herein. This includes a mandatory requirement for all flights to obtain a specific ATFM slot alloca-
tion — CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR entry waypoint, allocated flight level, and allocated ATS route —
from the Bangkok ATFMU for entry into Kabul FIR during the period above mentioned.

Flights that plan to enter Kabul FIR without an ATFM slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry fix, allocated flight level, and allocated ATS route – will be accommodated only after flights
with slots have been processed. Such flights should expect delayed pushback and start clearan-
ces, nonpreferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
In order to ensure availability of slots for westbound departures from designated airports in north-
ern India and Pakistan, departures from these airports are given priority for FL280 in the slot allo-
cation. This does not preclude these flights from requesting higher flight levels with initial slot
request.
Flights Exempted from BOBCAT ATFM
The following flights are exempted from BOBCAT ATFM procedures:
a. Flights experiencing an emergency, including aircraft subjected to unlawful interference;

be given priority under normal operational situation.
Airspace users uncertain whether their flights should be exempted should contact Bangkok
ATFMU for clarification.
Mandatory CTOT and KABUL FIR Slot Allocation
Affected flights shall obtain the mandatory Kabul FIR slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry fix, and allocated flight level and ATS route from the BOBCAT system. The Kabul FIR slot
allocation will enable ANSPs to tactically control westbound flights transiting the Kabul FIR at
specified times by assigning minimum spacing requirements at established gateway fix points in
the vicinity of the eastern boundary of the Kabul FIR.
The application, calculation, and distribution of CTOT and associated Kabul FIR entry fix slot allo-
cations will be managed via internet access to the BOBCAT system in accordance with the
BOBCAT ATFM operating procedure below.
BOBCAT ATFM Operating Procedures
All affected flights are required to submit slot requests to the BOBCAT system by logging into
https://www.bobcat.aero between 0001 and 1159 UTC on the day of flight and completing the
electronic templates provided.
Slot Allocation Process
The slot allocation is divided into 3 phases, namely; the slot request submission, initial slot alloca-
tion, and slot distribution to aircraft operators and ANSPs.
a. Slot Request Submission
– Slot requests including preferred ATS route, flight level and Maximum Acceptable Delay
(MAD) should be lodged between 0001 UTC and 1159 UTC on the day of flight. Slot
requests may subsequently be amended prior to the cut-off time of 1200UTC. Aircraft
operators are encouraged to submit additional slot request options in case their first
choice is not available. This may include variations to ATS route, flight level and MADS.
– Slot requests shall be for flight parameters that are able to be met by the flight. Flight sub-
sequently unable to meet slot parameters (flight level, ATS route, or CTO at entry fix)
should expect non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion
around Kabul FIR.
– As BOBCAT will allocate FL280 on a priority basis to facilitate departures from northern
India and Pakistan underneath over-flying traffic, flights departing these airports are
encouraged to include FL280 as at least one slot request preference.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1393
THAILAND
RULES AND PROCEDURES

– Flights that were not allocated a slot in the initial slot allocation, are not satisfied with the
allocated slot or did not submit a slot request should select slots from the listing of remain-
ing unallocated slots available immediately after slot distribution has been completed.
b. Slot Allocation and Distribution
– Slot allocation will commence at the cut-off time of 1200 UTC. BOBCAT will process and
generate the slot allocation based on the information submitted in the slot requests. Notifi-
cation of slot allocation will be made not later than 1230UTC via the BOBCAT ATFM web-
site. Alternative arrangements for notification of slot distribution (e.g., fax, telephone, and
e-mail) should be coordinated with the Bangkok ATFMU.
– After the slot allocation has been published at https://www.bobcat.aero, airspace users
can:
• Use the slot allocation result for ATS flight planning purposes;
• Cancel the allocated slot; and/or
• Change the slot allocation to another available slot in the published list of unallocated
slots.
Submission of ATS Flight Plan
a. Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight
plan using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
b. In addition to normal AFTN addressees, operators should also address flight plan (FPL) and
related ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the ATFMU via AFTN address VTBBZDZX
for all flights that have submitted a slot request.
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for NOTAMs
regarding any planned activities that may affect slot availability (e.g. reservation of airspace/
closure of airspace, non-availability of routes, etc).
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for ATS mes-
sages (e.g. FPL, DEP, DLA, CHG, CNL) relating to flights subject to ATFM procedures.
Re-Routing Scenarios
Rerouting of Westbound Flight on L759 to M770 for Night Time Traffic from Southeast Asia
to Europe
It is recognized that there may be congestion / aircraft bunching prior to entering the Bay of
Bengal on ATS Route L759 as westbound flight towards European destinations would be limited
to FL280 – FL340, while available flight levels in Kabul FIR includes all westbound flights from
FL280 to FL400.
Accordingly, flights planned on route L759 between PUT-BBS (Chennai FIR) maybe re-routed
onto M770 via “PUT L515 OBMOG M770 BUBKO N895 BBS L759” under following conditions:
a. If longitudinal separation cannot be achieved or maintained in relation to preceding traffic on
the flight planned route L759 between PUT – BBS over the Bay of Bengal;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1394
THAILAND
RULES AND PROCEDURES

b. When, by using the flight planned route L759, an aircraft would suffer an unacceptable lower
flight level; and
c. In concurrence with the flight crew, the Bangkok ACC shall assign alternative parallel route
M770 or lower acceptable level on L759 to affected flights enabling a better chance of
obtaining the ATFM slot allocation in the Kabul FIR.
Flight crews and dispatchers are encouraged to become fully conversant with the L759 re-routing
scenario and are advised to take appropriate proceedings to enable affected flights to proceed via
M770 when necessary.

REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATING IN RVSM


AIRSPACE
RVSM aircraft are allowed to operate in RVSM airspace. Non-RVSM aircraft must operate outside
RVSM airspace except for the specified circumstances.
Aircraft operating in RVSM airspace must be approved RVSM from the State of Registry or State
of Operators. State of Registry or State of Operators, if appropriate, must verify altitude keeping
capacity of approved aircraft to meet the requirements in Part I and Part II, Annex 6 Operation of
Aircraft.

ACAS II AND TRANSPONDER EQUIPAGE


All aircraft, helicopters, any other aircraft category and class using ATC services and having a
maximum certificated take-off mass in excess of 5700 kg or authorized to carry more than 19 pas-
sengers shall be equipped with ACAS II/TCAS II (version 7.1) or newer (TCAS II systems with
incorporated Version 7.1 meet ICAO ACAS II standards).
NOTE: In case of TCAS failure when aircraft are flying, aircraft are allowed to continue operating
(at FL280 or below and specially monitored by ATC unit) to continue flying to the destination air-
port for repair. If it is not possible for the TCAS system to be repaired at the destination airport,
aircraft are allowed to fly to the airport as approved or to the next airport at which a maintenance
facility of this TCAS is available.
Operations must take action to inform themselves of ACAS II equipage requirements and plan for
compliance. ICAO and individual States have established policies requiring ACAS II equipage and
schedules for compliance. In addition, the APANPIRG has endorsed early ACAS II equipage in
the region.
ICAO Annex 6, Part II, states that, starting 1 January 2000, International General Aviation (IGA)
airplanes shall be equipped with a pressure altitude reporting transponder certified by the appro-
priate State authority as meeting the provisions of Annex 10.

IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES WITHIN RVSM AIRSPACE


Aircraft operators shall not carry out flying in RVSM airspace except for the aircraft equipped with:
– Two independent altimetry systems;
– One altitude-alerting device;
– One automatic altitude-keeping device; and
– One altitude reporting transponder device with altimetry notification capacity that is able to con-
nect with altitude-keeping system.
The pilot must notify ATC whenever the aircraft:
a. is no longer RVSM compliant due to equipment failure; or
b. experiences loss of redundancy of altimetry systems; or
c. encounters turbulence that affects the capability to maintain flight level.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1404
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES

The following non-RVSM compliant aircraft may be allowed to operate in RVSM airspace:
– Aircraft operating for humanitarian purposes;
– Aircraft operating on routes that cross (continuously climb/descend) RVSM airspace;
– Flights by State aircraft.
In addition, in RVSM airspace in remote and oceanic airspace, the following non-RVSM compliant
aircraft shall be allowed to operate in RVSM airspace (after coordinating with the relevant ATC
units):
– Newly purchased aircraft, flying to the State of Registry or State of Operators;
– Aircraft that was RVSM approved (compliant with RVSM) but the equipment is in failure while
aircraft is flying to a maintenance facility.
The pilot of non-RVSM compliant aircraft shall report that the aircraft is not approved RVSM in the
following circumstances:
– In the first contact when flying into RVSM airspace;
– When required to change flight level;
– When readback flight level clearance, including climbing/descending in RVSM airspace.
During cleared transition between levels, the aircraft should not overshoot or undershoot the
assigned FL by more than 150 ft (45m).
Except in an ADS or radar environment, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assigned within
RVSM airspace.
Before intercepting into RVSM airspace, pilot shall check the operational condition of the equip-
ment systems and ensure that the equipment as specified above operates normally.
The pilot shall notify the ATC units of any contingency circumstances (including in-flight equip-
ment failure, turbulence, etc.) affecting the capacity to maintain the assigned flight level.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATION OF NON-RVSM COMPLIANT AIRCRAFT IN RVSM


AIRSPACE
It should be noted that RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation over non-
RVSM approved aircraft.
The vertical separation minimum between non-RVSM aircraft operating in the RVSM stratum and
all other aircraft is 2000 ft.
Except for the regulations on separation and using phraseology, non-RVSM compliant aircraft
operating in RVSM shall apply the following regulations:
– Priority: In RVSM airspace, RVSM compliant aircraft are given more priority than non-RVSM
compliant aircraft.
– Regulations on crossing (climbing or descending) RVSM airspace of non-RVSM compliant air-
craft: Non-RVSM compliant aircraft may be cleared to climb to and operate above FL410, or
descend to and operate from FL290 or below. In these cases, aircraft shall comply with:

AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE – BROADCAST (ADS-B) EQUIPAGE


AND OPERATION WITHIN HO CHI MINH AND HA NOI FIRs
The mandatory installation of ADS-B OUT equipment has been applied in FIRs of Australia, Hong
Kong (China), Indonesia, Singapore and will be applied in FIRs of other countries according to the
conclusion of Asia Pacific Regional Air Navigation meeting.
At present, Civil Aviation of Vietnam has been implementing RNAV 5 routes and RNAV 1 SID/
STAR. Therefore, the continuous ATS surveillance is necessary to be assured.
From December 15th 2016, ADS-B will be applied for situation awareness – Tier 2 in Sectors of
Ha Noi ACC.
From July 1st 2017, ADS-B will be applied for ATS separation (back-up for the available radar
systems) for flights from FL290 up to FL460 within Sectors of Ha Noi ACC.
From July 1st 2018, ADS-B will be applied for ATS separation (together with the current radar
systems) within Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh FIRs.
From December 15th 2016, civil aircraft operating within Sectors of Ha Noi ACC will be encour-
aged and urged to operate ADS-B OUT equipped.
From July 1st 2017, all civil aircraft operating within Sectors of Ha Noi ACC from FL290 up to
FL460 must be operated ADS-B OUT. Civil aircraft without ADS-B OUT will be operated below
FL290 or at other flight levels assigned by Ha Noi ACC.
From July 1st 2018, aircraft having maximum take-off weight of 15,000kg or heavier and operat-
ing within Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh FIRs must be ADS-B OUT equipped and operated. From Jan-
uary 1st 2020, aircraft having maximum take-off weight of 5700kg or heavier and operating within
Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh FIRs must be ADS-B OUT equipped and operated.
Aircraft without ADS-B OUT equipage, it shall only operate at lower or on track assigned by ATC
and shall not be given higher priority over those aircraft which are ADS-B equipped as the above
mentioned time.
ADS-B OUT equipped aircraft must meet the requirements in TSO-C166b or EASA AMC 20-24,
EASA CS-ACNS, CASA AUS ATSCO-C100 or other standards approved by CAAV.
In the period of 2017–2018, the minimum ADS-B separation within Ha Noi FIR, which is compati-
ble with radar separation, will be applied as follows:
+ 10 NM for enroute; and
+ 5 NM for approach.
In case aircraft does not meet ADS-B requirements, ATC units shall apply the conventional sepa-
ration methods. The reduction of minimum ATS separation standard shall be notified by CAAV.
For security reasons, civil aircraft operating VIP flights without ADS-B OUT operation shall specify
this detail in the relevant flight permission application (and the appropriate authorities of Vietnam
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1406
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES

shall also state this detail in flight permission) to notify ATS units for having alternative ATS sepa-
ration solutions to ensure flight safety.
From 00h00 UTC dated November 8th, 2018, application for flight permission to/from Cam Ranh
International Airport shall not be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam, if:
– Pilots have not yet been trained to implement the procedures in accordance with the CAAV
requirements.

– STAR identifier;
– Transition point identifier (if applicable);
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1411
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES

– Runway‐in‐use;
– Assigned flight level/altitude.
NOTE:
– RNAV 1 procedure defines a lateral route for an aircraft to fly from a significant point along the
enroute/terminal phase of flight to the approach phase with minimal, or no, ATC intervention.
All charted altitude and speed restrictions are mandatory unless specifically cancelled by ATC.
– ATC will issue descent clearance, and once a lower altitude is issued by ATC, the pilot shall
descend on the procedure profile to the assigned altitude. The pilot will comply with all charted
altitude restrictions above the ATC-assigned altitude, unless specifically cancelled by ATC.
When an approach clearance is received, all altitude restrictions on the procedure profile
remain mandatory, unless specifically cancelled by ATC.

SPEED CONTROL
In order to facilitate the flow of arriving aircraft within Noi Bai TMA, speed control is used to opti-
mize the spacing between aircraft and improve the orderly flow of air traffic.
If unable to conform with these procedures, pilots should immediately inform ATC and state what
speed will be used.
At other times, speed adjustment may be applied on a tactical basic to the extent determined by
ATC. When speed adjustment is no longer required, the phraseology “Resume normal speed”
shall be used.
NOTE: The phrase “Resume normal speed” does not delete speed restrictions that are applicable
to these procedures in upcoming segments of flight.
ATC shall notify that the aircraft may keep its preferred speed without restrictions and shall use
the phraseology “No (ATC) speed restrictions”.
Speed restriction within Noi Bai TMA are as follows:
– Aircraft under FL100: Maximum speed 250 kt (IAS).
– Aircraft entering “sequencing legs”: Maximum speed 250 kt (IAS).
– Aircraft entering “merge point”: Maximum speed 220 kt (IAS).
– Arrival aircraft is 12 NM (track mile) from touchdown: Speed 200 kt (IAS).
– Arrival aircraft is 5 NM (track mile) from touchdown: Speed 160 kt (IAS).

HOLDING PROCEDURES
Holdings are designed to facilitate holding aircraft for delay to achieve required spacing between
arriving aircraft in case of increasing density of flight operation, having military flight operation and
bad weather within Noi Bai TMA, etc. The associated holdings and procedures are listed below:

AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT (ATFM)


The States of the ICAO Asia/Pacific Region within the Bay of Bengal, South Asia and Pakistan
airspace have implemented an automated Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) service under the
auspices of the ICAO Bay of Bengal ATS Coordination Group — ATFM Task Force.
Vietnam ATC retains responsibility for the tactical management of flights that are subject to
ATFM. Vietnam ATC will manage non-ATFM compliant flights using delayed pushback and start
clearances, non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around
Kabul FIR.
The ATFMU utilizes the automated web based Bay of Bengal Cooperative ATFM System
(BOBCAT) system in meeting its ATFM responsibilities. These responsibilities will be managed in
coordination with aircraft operators and Vietnam ATC in the Ha Noi FIR and Ho Chi Minh FIR con-
cerned.
The ATFMU operates on a 24-hour basis and is responsible for westbound flights entering the
Kabul FIR at specified times, flight levels and ATS routes in accordance with section below. The
objectives of these ATFM services are to:
a. Reduce ground and enroute delays;
b. Maximize capacity and optimize the flow of air traffic within the area;
c. Provide an informed choice of routing and flight level selection;
d. Alleviate unplanned in-flight re-routing and technical stops; and
e. Assist regional Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) in planning for and managing
future workload in light of forecast increased traffic flows within the area.

ATFM AFFECTED ATS ROUTES, FLIGHT LEVELS AND APPLICABLE HOURS


All westbound flights intending to enter the Kabul FIR between 2000 UTC and 2359 UTC daily on
ATS routes:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1415
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. A466, L750, N644 from FL280 to FL390 inclusive; and


b. G792/V390 from FL310 to FL390 inclusive; and
c. B466 between SERKA and PAROD from FL310 to FL390 inclusive shall comply with the
ATFM procedures including mandatory requirement for all flights to obtain a specific ATFM
slot allocation from Bangkok ATFMU.
Flights that plan to enter Kabul FIR without an AWUT and entry slot (comprising flight level, ATS
route and entry fix time) will be accommodated only after flights with slots have been processed.
Such flights should expect delayed pushback and start clearances, non-preferred routes and/or
flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
In order to ensure availability of slots for westbound departures from designated airports in north-
ern India and Pakistan, departures from these airports are given priority for FL280 in the slot allo-
cation. This does not preclude these flights from requesting higher flight level with initial slot
request.

FLIGHTS EXEMPTED FROM BOBCAT ATFM


The following flights are exempted from this ATFM procedure:
a. Humanitarian or medical flights;
b. State aircraft with Head of State on board.
Flights exempted from ATFM procedures shall indicate the exemption in their flight plan (Field 18
— STS-BOB ATFM EXMP).
Vietnam ARO(s) shall forward the flight plan information to the ATFMU at AFTN address
VTBBZDZX.

MANDATORY AWUT AND KABUL FIR SLOT ALLOCATION


Affected flights shall obtain the mandatory AWUT, Kabul FIR entry time, flight level and ATS route
from the BOBCAT system. The AWUT and Kabul slot allocation will enable ANSPs to tactically
control westbound flights transiting the Kabul FIR at specified times by assigning minimum spac-
ing requirements at established gateway fix points in the vicinity of the eastern boundary of the
Kabul FIR.
The application, calculation and distribution of AWUT and Kabul FIR entry fix slot allocations will
be managed via internet access to the BOBCAT system in accordance with the ATFM operating
procedures below.

BOBCAT OPERATING PROCEDURES


All affected flights are required to submit slot requests to the BOBCAT system by logging onto
https://www.bobcat.aero between 0001 and 1200 UTC on day of flight and completing the elec-
tronic templates provided.
Affected aircraft operators who do not have dedicated BOBCAT username/password access
should complete the application form provided and fax it to the ATFMU as soon as possible.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1416
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Slot Allocation Process


The slot allocation process is divided into 3 phases; namely, the slot request submission, initial
slot allocation, and finally slot distribution to aircraft operators and ANSPs.
Slot Request Submission
Slot requests including preferred ATS route, flight level and Maximum Acceptable Delay (MAD)
should be lodged between 0001 UTC and 1200 UTC on the day of flight. Slot requests may sub-
sequently be amended prior to 1200 UTC, which is the cutoff time. Aircraft operators are encour-
aged to submit additional slot request options in case their first choice is not available. This may
include variations to ATS route, flight level and MAD.
Slot requests shall be for flight parameters that are able to be met by the flight. For example,
flights requesting a slot at FL390 must be able to transit Kabul FIR at FL390. Flights subsequently
unable to meet slot parameters (flight level, ATS route or entry fix time) should expect non-prefer-
red routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around Kabul FIR.
As BOBCAT will allocate FL280 on a priority basis to facilitate departures from northern India and
Pakistan underneath over-flying traffic, flights departing these airports are encouraged to include
FL280 as at least one slot request preference.
Flights that were not allocated a slot in the initial slot allocation, are not satisfied with the allocated
slot or did not submit a slot request should select slots from the listing of remaining unallocated
slots available immediately after slot distribution has been completed.
Slot Allocation and Distribution
Slot allocation will commence at the cut-off time at 1200 UTC. BOBCAT will process and generate
the slot allocation based on the information submitted in the slot requests. Notification of slot allo-
cation will be made not later than 1230 UTC via the ATFMU website. Alternative arrangements for
notification of slot distribution (e.g. e-mail, fax, telephone) should be coordinated with the ATFMU.
After the slot allocation has been published at https://www.bobcat.aero, aircraft operators can:
a. Use the slot allocation result for ATS flight planning purposes;
b. Cancel the allocated slot; and/or
c. Change slot allocation to another available slot in the published list of unallocated slots.
Noi Bai ARO, Noi Bai TWR, Ha Noi ACC, Tan Son Nhat ARO, Tan Son Nhat TWR, Ho Chi Minh
ACC can also view the slot allocation results at https://www.bobcat.aero.
Submission of ATS Flight Plan
Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight plan
using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
In addition to normal AFTN addressees, operators should also address flight plan (FPL) and rela-
ted ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the ATFMU via AFTN address VTBBZDZX for all
flights that have submitted a slot request.

INTRODUCTION
The Distributed Multi-Nodal ATFM Network concept involves each ANSP leading and operating
an independent, virtual ATFM node supported by interconnected information sharing framework.
The flow of air traffic into constrained/congested resource (airspace or airport) will be managed
based on a common set of agreed ATFM measures and principles among participating stakehold-
ers. The primary ATFM measure used in this initiative is Ground Delay Program (GDP), where
demand and capacity are balanced through adjustments in aircraft Calculated Landing Time
(CLDT) and Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) distributed to aircraft prior to departures.
An ATFM measure may be triggered when a Level 3 ANSP determines that there will be a
demand capacity imbalance situation at a particular ATM resource. The Level 3 ANSP will provide
advance notification of an ATFM measure to be initiated and their effective period through the
publication of ATFM Daily Plan (ADP) and/or NOTAM. The ADP will be issued via email to stake-
holders’ key point of contact.

PROVISION OF ATFM IN VIETNAM


The Distributed Multi-Nodal ATFM Network adopts a tiered participation level approach for ATFM
Nodes. Level 3 ATFM Nodes are those capable to generate, deliver, receive and comply with
CTOTs, and include China, Hong Kong China, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia.

2.8 FLIGHTS BY FOREIGN STATE AIRCRAFT


2.8.1 Aircraft Diplomatic Clearance Application
Diplomatic clearance is required for foreign state aircraft to enter and operate in Australian terri-
tory, including the airspace above Australian offshore islands. Applications for foreign state air-
craft to conduct flying operations within Australian territory should be submitted at least five work-
ing days before the proposed date of entry into Australian airspace. At least two weeks notice is
required if military services are requested (such as parking at a Royal Australian Air Force base).
A separate application should be submitted for each aircraft or formation of aircraft. The Depart-
ment of Foreign Affairs web pages provide aircraft diplomatic clearance application forms and
instructions at: www.dfat.gov.au/about-us/foreign-embassies/protocol/Pages/diplomatic-clearan-
ces-aircraft-and-ships.
Applications are submitted by completing the application form and emailing it to:
dipa.hqac@defence.gov.au.
Diplomatic clearance applicants will be required to provide the following information:
a. Requesting Country;
b. Point of Contact details;
c. Purpose of the flight;
d. Aircraft Operator (if civil registered, the address and nationality);
e. Aircraft Type;
f. Aircraft Registration Mark;
g. Aircraft Callsign;

AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT

Any questions relating to diplomatic clearances should be addressed to the Diplomatic Clearance
Authorization Cell on +61 2 6128 4819 or dipa.hqac@defence.gov.au.
2.8.5 Compliance
Foreign State aircraft operating under diplomatic clearance are required to comply with applicable
airport procedures and air traffic control directions.
2.8.5.1 Diplomatic clearance does not exempt the requesting government’s responsibility to
meet other Australian Government requirements such as customs, biosecurity and immigration or
the requirement for permission to carry or import munitions or implements of war. It is the respon-
sibility of the foreign government to ensure all necessary paperwork and/or clearances from Aus-
tralian Government agencies are arranged prior to arrival.
2.8.5.2 A regulation 136 permission from the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is
also required. In certain circumstances, diplomatic clearance may only be issued subject to the
aircraft, cargo and passengers undertaking additional checks and searches. Failure to comply
with any conditions on a diplomatic clearance, or with other government agencies' procedures,
could result in penalties and affect issuance of future diplomatic clearances.
2.8.6 Foreign Military Aircraft Participating in Exercises within Australia
Foreign State aircraft visiting Australia for a combined exercise are required to seek diplomatic
clearance and CASA permission for their transit to and from their operating location. All exercise
flights are covered under the exercise arrangements. However, any transits from their deployed
location to another location outside the exercise schedule will require approval. Certain military
aircraft will require permission to import from the Australian Border Force. Export permission from
the Department of Defence may also be required.
2.8.7 Alternate Routes and In-flight Emergencies
Approval will not be issued for alternate or diversion airfield requests inside Australia. Aircraft
diverting in response to an in-flight emergency or poor weather do not require diplomatic approval
and should select the nearest appropriate airfield. Notification of any emergency diversions
should be sent to the Diplomatic Clearance Cell at the earliest opportunity thereafter landing
(dipa.hqac@defence.gov.au).

2.9 INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE FLIGHTS


2.9.1 A private flight means a flight by an aircraft carrying passengers or cargo whose costs are
met by the owner and/or operator of the aircraft.
2.9.2 Section 14 of the Air Navigation Act 1920 allows an aircraft that possesses the nationality
of a Contracting State undertaking a private flight to enter or leave Australia or fly in transit across
Australia without the requirement of obtaining prior permission.
2.9.3 No specific operational assessment is required for such flights, but pilots are advised of
the following:
a. In addition to the requirements of Division 91.C.3 of CASR, a journey log book must be car-
ried which details particulars of the aircraft, its crew and of each journey.

2.15 SECTION 22 OF THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT 1988


2.15.1 Section 22 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 gives effect in Australian law to the provisions of
Article 3 of the Chicago Convention, which prohibits the use of force against civil aircraft and pro-
vides for the regulation of civil aircraft flying over the territory of foreign countries without authori-
zation or for any purpose that is inconsistent with the aims of the Chicago Convention.
2.15.2 Aircraft under Australian jurisdiction shall not be flown over the territory of a foreign coun-
try without authorization or for a purpose that is prejudicial to the security, public order or safety of
air navigation in that country. If an aircraft is being flown in these circumstances the pilot-in-com-
mand must comply with an order to land or any other instruction that is given by an authorized
official of the foreign country.
2.15.3 The pilot-in-command who is found guilty of an offense under Section 22 shall be subject
to severe penalties such as imprisonment. Ancillary offenders (for example, the operator) may be
prosecuted under the Crimes Act 1914.
2.15.4 Nothing in this legislation relieves obligations which any other law, including the law of a
foreign country, might impose. An Australian aircraft which is flying with proper authorization over
the territory of a foreign country is required to obey a direction legally given by the aviation author-
ities of the country concerned, just as a foreign aircraft flying over Australian territory is required to
obey a lawful direction which may be given by the relevant Australian authorities.

4 TORRES STRAIT BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS


4.1 Several pests and diseases present in the Torres Strait and nearby Papua New Guinea are
not found on mainland Australia. Consequently, biosecurity legislation controls the movement of
goods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and meat products, live plants, seeds and plant
materials, live animals, hides, skins and soil, south from the “Torres Strait Protected Zone” (north-
ern islands) to the “Permanent Biosecurity Monitoring Zone” (Thursday Island group), or from
either of these two zones to the mainland.
Movement of these goods is restricted by the Department of Agriculture and Water, and the Envi-
ronment (the department). A permit is required for certain goods.
4.3 Pilots should ensure that an aircraft travelling south from either of these zones to the main-
land are suitably disinsected.
Pilots must ensure they notify the department before departing to the Australian mainland. Pilots
must attempt to contact biosecurity staff at the island departure point. This can be done 30
minutes prior to departure from the Torres Strait. A biosecurity officer may inspect your aircraft
and goods carried by crew or passengers. A notification number will be issued by a biosecurity
officer, which pilots should record for auditing purposes. If there is no biosecurity officer available
on their island of departure, pilots must contact the Department 30 minutes prior to arrival on the
mainland by contacting the department officers at Horn Island Airport on 07 4069 1310 or the

5.1.2 Standard procedures have been designed to facilitate the clearance of passengers
through the two stages of examination.

5.2 BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS


5.2.1 General
5.2.1.1 Australia is free from many diseases, pests and weeds which cause serious damage in
other parts of the world. Air crew and passengers are required to comply with legislative require-
ments under the Biosecurity Act 2015.
5.2.1.2 Detailed information about the biosecurity requirements for overseas aircraft can be
found on the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment website at: www.agricul-
ture.gov.au/biosecurity/avm/aircraft/.
5.2.2 Disinsection

phenothrin
NOTE: *The World Health Organization (WHO) no longer recommends the ‘pre-flight and top-of-
descent’ aircraft disinsection method. This method is no longer an approved method for aircraft
arrivals into Australia and may be replaced by the ‘pre-departure’ method or one of the other ap-
proved methods listed above. Aircraft operators intending to arrive in Australia should check the
Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment website to confirm the availability of disin-
section options, www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/avm/aircraft/disinsection, or contact biose-
curity officials at the intended arrival airport.

5.2.2.3 The Residual and Pre-embarkation methods can only be used when an Approved
Arrangement with the DAWE or a Compliance Agreement with the Ministry for Primary Industries,
New Zealand (MPI) has been administered.
5.2.2.4 The ‘Schedule of aircraft disinsection procedures for flights into Australia and New Zea-
land’ has been prepared in cooperation between the DAWE and the MPI. Further information is
available at: www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/avm/aircraft/disinsection.
5.2.2.5 If an aircraft has not completed the required disinsection measures prior to arrival, a pre-
arrival report must be given stating that fact — see sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.5.
5.2.3 Pre-Arrival Reporting Requirements
5.2.3.1 Prior to arrival at a first point of entry in Australia, the operator of an international aircraft
is required to advise the DAWE – Biosecurity of the following:
a. Details of any person on board the aircraft who has, or had signs or symptoms of a listed
human disease during the flight (see paragraph 5.2.4);
b. Details of any person on board the aircraft who died during the flight;
c. If there are animals or plants (or both) in the cabin of the aircraft;
d. If any animal in the cabin of the aircraft died during the flight – that fact; and
e. If the aircraft is an incoming aircraft and the prescribed disinsection measures for the aircraft
have not been taken, or will not have been taken, before the aircraft arrives at its first landing
place in Australian territory.
NOTE: The report may be delivered through an airline authorized representative at the arrival air-
port. However it remains the liability of the aircraft operator to ensure any such reports are deliv-
ered to a biosecurity officer.
5.2.3.2 The operator or commander of the aircraft on a non-scheduled flight must also report the
following additional information without exception:
a. Information identifying the aircraft;
b. The intended first landing place of the aircraft in Australian territory;
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1451
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

c. The estimated day and time of arrival of the aircraft;


d. The name and contact details of:
1. the operator of the aircraft; and
2. if the operator is not the owner of the aircraft – the owner of the aircraft
e. Details about any animals or plants in the cabin of the aircraft.
NOTE: The report may be delivered through an airline authorized representative at the arrival air-
port. However it remains the liability of the aircraft operator to ensure any such reports are deliv-
ered to a biosecurity officer.
5.2.3.3 The pre-arrival report must be given:
a. at the earlier of:
1. as close to the top of descent as is operationally practicable before the aircraft is esti-
mated to arrive at its first landing place in Australian territory; and
2. 30 minutes before the aircraft is estimated to come to a standstill after arriving at its first
landing place in Australian territory; or
b. at the time specified by a biosecurity official.
NOTE: The commander of an aircraft on a non-scheduled flight may provide the additional infor-
mation to the DAWE – Biosecurity prior to the departure of the aircraft from the last port before
entering Australian territory.
5.2.3.4 The pre-arrival report must be made to biosecurity officers located at the intended first
landing place (or at the department office responsible for biosecurity clearances at the intended
first landing place) either orally or in writing (including electronically).
5.2.3.5 After this information is reported, if the Commander becomes aware the information is
incomplete or incorrect they will provide additional information or correct the information as soon
as practicable.
5.2.4 Ill Passengers or Death On Board
5.2.4.1 Any traveller showing signs of a listed Human Disease or a serious illness and needing
medical assistance must be reported to a biosecurity officer in a pre-arrival report (see Pre-Arrival
Reporting Requirements). Airlines/Commanders are required to report any changes to this status
that occur after submitting the pre-arrival report.
5.2.4.2 The operator of the aircraft is responsible for requesting medical or ambulance services.
5.2.4.3 Any of the following are considered possible signs or symptoms of a Listed Human Dis-
ease (LHD) or reportable illness:

contact a biosecurity officer. Commanders do not need to report travellers whose illness is a
result of:
a. drug or alcohol use;
b. an injury or a pre-existing physical condition; or
c. motion sickness.
d. Commanders are not required to report a traveller who has a pre-arranged medical transfer
prior to boarding the flight.
5.2.4.5 The operator of an aircraft is legally responsible for ensuring the DAWE – Biosecurity is
notified. Failure to report ill travellers, as listed above, or death on board an aircraft is an offense
under the Biosecurity Act 2015 and can lead to the application of additional reporting require-
ments, fines or civil penalties.
5.2.4.6 Any contaminants on the aircraft from dead or sick people must be cleaned or disinfec-
ted in accordance with post-event disinfection procedures for aircraft, as outlined in the World
Health Organization 2009 Guide to Hygiene and Sanitation in Aviation, third edition.
5.2.4.7 For ill passengers that are in transit through Australia the requirements are the same as
for those entering Australia. Passengers in transit are not permitted to leave the transit area other
than for actual boarding of their outward flight. If the time between arrival and departure allows,
and if it is determined to be advisable, the person may either be isolated in a biosecurity facility
(i.e., an airport health room) or be allowed restricted access to airport facilities and wait areas as
advised by biosecurity officers.
5.2.5 Pratique
5.2.5.1 Pratique is the granting of permission to disembark and unload baggage and cargo
based on the absence of disease in the passengers and crew. Aircraft entering Australia operate
under a system of (automatic) positive pratique. Under this system permission to disembark and
unload cargo and baggage is automatically granted, unless any of the following applies:
a. the prescribed disinsection measures for the aircraft have not been undertaken;
b. the aircraft has reported an individual as having, or having had, signs or symptoms of a listed
human disease, or an individual has died during the flight;
c. a human biosecurity official or a biosecurity official believes an individual on the flight is dis-
playing signs or symptoms of a listed human disease, has been exposed to a listed human
disease; or has died during the flight; or
d. a pre-arrival report consistent with paragraph 5.2.3 was not provided.

5.2.5.2 Any aircraft not entering under (automatic) positive pratique will be met on arrival by a
biosecurity officer. All passengers and crew must remain on board until pratique is granted by this
officer. When the biosecurity officer is satisfied that there are no further biosecurity issues, the
officer will verbally grant pratique and advise that disembarkation and the unloading of baggage
and other goods may commence.
5.2.6 Biosecurity Waste
5.2.6.1 All cabin, galley and hold biosecurity waste on board the aircraft must only be collected,
transported, stored and/or treated by either a service provider that has entered into an approved
arrangement with the DAWE – Biosecurity or under the supervision of the DAWE – Biosecurity on
a fee for service basis.
5.2.6.2 Biosecurity waste may include refuse and sweepings from areas of the aircraft, any
unconsumed and partly consumed foods, any non-washable items, other waste or materials that
may have come in contact with biosecurity waste, animal or plant waste or materials used to pack
or stabilize imported goods.
5.2.6.3 Unmanaged waste, non-compliant handling of waste or inadvertent contamination detec-
ted on an aircraft may result in action being required to be taken by the aircraft operator. This can
result in delays to the servicing and turn-around of the aircraft.
5.2.6.4 The operator/commander of an aircraft arriving in Australian territory must ensure that
waste has been removed from the aircraft before the aircraft is moved further within Australian

5.3.1.2 Airline operators should ensure that their staff are fully aware of Australia’s immigration
and customs requirements. The Travel Information Manual (TIM) and the online Timaticweb
(www.timaticweb.com/) provides a regularly updated, ready-reference for information on Aus-
tralia’s requirements. The master, owner, agent, charterer and operator of a vessel on which a
non-citizen is brought into Australia are guilty of an offense against Section 229(1) of the Migra-

5.3.4 Visa Requirements


With the exception of New Zealand passport holders and prescribed classes of persons under the
Special Purpose visa framework (see paragraphs 5.3.4.8 and 5.3.4.9), all non-citizens are
required to have a visa for travel to Australia.
5.3.4.2 Carriers are required to ensure non-citizen passengers travelling to Australia hold, or are
eligible to hold, a valid visa. Persons in possession of expired visas should not be carried to Aus-
tralia. Visas for travel to Australia may be for either single or multiple journeys within the validity of
the visa. Visas facilitate travel, but do not guarantee entry. Visitors who fail to satisfy border
checks can be refused entry to Australia.
The majority of visas granted will not be evidenced by a stick-in visa label in a passport as visa
labels ceased to be issued from 1 September 2015. Existence of a visa should be verified by air-
lines at check-in via the APP system.
5.3.4.4 There are two types of visas: temporary and permanent.
5.3.4.5 Electronic Travel Authorities (ETA) are temporary visas for short term stays for tour-
ism or business visitor activities.

bearers of passports issued by the following countries:

Andorra Ireland Singapore


Austria Italy South Korea
Belgium Japan Spain
Brunei Liechtenstein Sweden
Canada Luxembourg Switzerland
Denmark Malaysia Taiwan
Finland Malta United Kingdom
France Monaco (British Citizens and British Nationals
Overseas)
Germany Netherlands
Greece Norway

AND PROCEDURES WITHIN AUSTRALIA
6.1 IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS
6.1.1 Passengers who are in direct transit on through-flights will not be required to complete
Incoming Passenger Cards. This concession applies irrespective of whether the passengers are
transiting on the same or different aircraft.
6.1.2 Direct transit passengers will need to hold an appropriate visa unless they meet require-
ments in paragraph 5.3.4.9, in which case they will be taken to hold a special purpose visa.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1463
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

6.1.3 Passengers disembarking in Australia (i.e., leaving the transit area) from such a through-
flight must present passport/travel documents, visas, Incoming Passenger Cards and airline tick-
ets evidencing confirmed onward booking to a third country.
6.1.4 Where international passengers leave the transit area and transfer to another international
flight at the same airport, Incoming Passenger Cards, passport/travel documents and visas
(unless within the exempt categories) are required to be presented.
6.1.5 A “through-flight” in this context is as defined in Chapter 1 — Definitions and Applicability,
of lCAO Annex 9 (Facilitation) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation:
“Through-Flight. A particular operation of aircraft, identified by the operator by the use through-
out of the same symbol from point of origin via any intermediate points to point of destination.”
6.1.6 The “through-flight” definition implies a single operator and does not prevent the use of
more than one aircraft for a through-flight. The recording of dual flight numbers, when applicable,
should satisfy, for local purposes, the requirements of the definition in so far as retention of “the
same symbol” from point of origin to point of destination is concerned.
6.1.5

6.2 CUSTOMS AND BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS

7 LANDINGS AT DESIGNATED ALTERNATE AIRPORTS OR


ELSEWHERE THAN AT DESIGNATED INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORTS WITHIN AUSTRALIA
7.1 GENERAL
7.1.1 Landings elsewhere than at major international, restricted use international, and interna-
tional non-scheduled flight airports may be divided into two categories:
a. landings at designated alternate airports to international airports; and
b. landings elsewhere than at a designated alternate airport which are made as a result of an
emergency.
7.1.2 Under the requirements of the Customs Act 1901 and the Migration Act 1958, an aircraft
engaged on an international flight which has landed elsewhere than at a designated international
airport is required to proceed direct to a designated international airport where Customs and
Immigration clearances can be completed. Biosecurity clearance is normally undertaken at the
airport of entry.
7.1.3 Where safe to do so, it is preferable that crew and passengers remain on board the aircraft
so they do not have to undergo security clearance when the flight resumes to the original airport
of destination. The pilot may disembark to perform the necessary safety inspections. An airline
representative may board with the relevant documents.
For charter aircraft and other flights arriving at alternate airports or non-international airports, see
paragraph 8.3.

at a designated alternate airport are as follows:
a. Biosecurity. Biosecurity officers of the DAWE are not stationed permanently at the airport,
and the airport is serviced for international arrivals under a request for service arrangement.
b. Customs and immigration. ABF Officers of the Department of Home Affairs are not sta-
tioned permanently at the airport. The relevant District Office or a Local Area Command in
the ABF will be established and be responsible for coordinating the border agency response.

7.3 LANDING MADE OTHER THAN AT DESIGNATED ALTERNATE


AIRPORT
If a landing is made other than at a designated international or international alternate airport, the
pilot in command or the next senior crew member available shall report the landing as soon as
practicable to the Network Coordination Centre (NCC) in Airservices Australia. This notification
may be made through aeronautical channels (or by other means if this method of communication
is not available).
7.3.1 Procedures for such landings are outlined below.
7.3.2 The relevant District Office or a Local Area Command in the ABF will be established and
be responsible for coordinating the border agency response. It will establish ongoing communica-
tion with the airport, airline, biosecurity officers and police if required.
7.3.3 The pilot in command is responsible for ensuring the following:
a. If pratique has not been granted to the aircraft at any previous landing in Australian territory,
contact between passengers, crew and other persons is avoided.
b. Cargo, stores, baggage and mail, if required to be removed from the aircraft for safety rea-
sons, must be deposited in a nearby area and remain there pending completion of the nec-
essary formalities. Mail must be disposed of as is required pursuant to para 7.4.4 of lCAO
Annex 9.
c. Any foodstuffs of overseas origin, or any plant material, are not removed from the aircraft
except where local food is unobtainable. All food refuse (including peelings, cores, and
stones of fruit) must be collected by the aircraft operator and returned to the galley refuse
container. The contents of the galley refuse container should not be removed from the air-
craft except for hygiene reasons, in which case they must be disposed of, as may be direc-
ted by a biosecurity official.
7.3.4 Notwithstanding the provisions set out above, the pilot in command, while awaiting the
instructions of the District Office or Local Area Command, or if unable to get in touch with such
authorities, may take such emergency measures as deemed necessary for the health and safety
of the passengers and crew. This may include the securing of suitable accommodation and the
avoiding or minimizing of loss or destruction to the aircraft itself and its load.

8 CHARTER FLIGHTS — GUIDELINES FOR CLEARANCE


8.1 GENERAL
8.1.1 The Department of Home Affairs coordinates the activities of government border agencies
involved in passenger processing for charter flights through the National Passenger Processing
Committee (NPPC).

8.2 ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE AT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS


8.2.1 Charter flights will be treated as normal commercial flights when they arrive or depart from
designated major international airports (see ENTRY REQUIREMENTS — ENTRY, TRANSIT
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1467
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT — Major International Airports) and the Gold Coast Interna-
tional Airport.

8.3 ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE AT NON-INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS, AND


RESTRICTED USE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS
8.3.1 As there is no full-time border agency presence at non-international airports or at Restric-
ted Use International Airports (other than Gold Coast), aircraft operators are required to obtain
prior approval from the NPPC for flights into and out of these airports. Aircraft operators should
comply with the following procedures to enable timely consideration by border agencies for appro-
val and clearances.
a. Submit written application. The Application process can be found at: www.abf.gov.au/
entering-and-leaving-australia/aircraft-requirements. Give at least ten (10) business days
notification to the following address prior to the arrival of the charter:

The Chairman
National Passenger Processing Committee
Address: Department of Home Affairs
Tel: 61 2 6246 1210
E-Mail: nppc@abf.gov.au

The application should include itinerary, aircraft type and estimated number of passengers/
crew.
b. Provide an Advance Passenger Information (API). If the charter operator does not hold
an International Air License, air operators should deliver, email or fax a listing of passengers
and crew to the ABF office at the first port of call at least four working days prior to the arrival
of the charter. This listing should include family and given names, date of birth, gender,
nationality and passport numbers. If the charter operator holds an International Air License
the operator should provide passenger and crew data through the APP system at check-in.
For more information, contact Home Affairs at: appwebsite@abf.gov.au. For departures,
deliver, email or fax similar Advance Passenger Information data to the ABF office at the last
port of call at least one working day prior to the departure of the charter.
c. Remit Passenger Movement Charge (PMC). Collect AUD$60 PMC from all liable passen-
gers and remit to the Department of Home Affairs in accordance with the conditions con-
tained within the PMC Arrangement.
d. Pay other costs. Pay any border agency clearance costs which may be applicable and
which fall outside those covered by PMC. This will vary from charter to charter and will be
dependent on airport location and arrival/departure time; e.g., officer travel, accommodation,
overtime, and potential airport infrastructure changes which may be necessary to provide a
secure processing environment. Separate accounts will be submitted by the Department of
Home Affairs after completion of the charter operation.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1472
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

11 CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING CARGO AND OTHER


ARTICLES
11.1 CARGO REPORT
11.1.1 The cargo report is used to report the particulars of all goods (including mail, in-transit
and transhipment cargo) that a cargo reporter has arranged to be carried on board regardless of
whether the goods will be offloaded in Australia. Private charter flights which are carrying cargo
(air freight) are not exempt from these requirements.
11.1.2 The carrier (airline) is required, as the first cargo reporter, to report the full detail of cargo
for which they are directly responsible to the Australian Border Force. They are also required to
notify the Australian Border Force of any cargo carried on behalf of another cargo reporter and
the details of the depot operator who will first receive the cargo after it has been unloaded from
the aircraft at a place in Australia. This includes airline mail items (sometimes referred to as ‘on
company service’).
The cargo report must be lodged electronically in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) at least two
(2) hours prior to the estimated time of arrival of the aircraft. If the charter business is not a regu-
lar cargo carrier, and do not have the facilities to make a cargo report using the ICS, they are rec-
ommended to engage a Freight Forwarder or a bureau to submit the required electronic reports to
the ABF.
11.1.4 When a cargo report is submitted showing the cargo has a discharge port as an Austral-
ian port, but the destination port is not an Australian port, the ICS recognizes that ultimately the
cargo is destined for a place outside Australia. The ICS assigns the cargo report transshipment
status and will automatically generate a Transshipment Number. A Transshipment Number is a
valid Customs Authority Number for the purposes of export and must be quoted in the outwards
manifest.

11.2 LIST OF STORES (E.G. NARCOTIC DRUGS, BEER, WINE, SPIRITS


AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS)
11.2.1 When an aircraft has arrived at an airport in Australia, the operator must report the partic-
ulars of the aircraft’s stores and of any prohibited goods contained in those stores at the time of
arrival to the Australian Border Force via Form B367, Stores and Prohibited Goods Report. See:
www.abf.gov.au/form-listing/forms/b367.pdf.
11.2.2 The report of aircraft stores and prohibited goods must be made within three hours of the
arrival of the aircraft or before the certificate of clearance is issued, whichever happens first.

11.3 IMPORT DECLARATION FOR GOODS VALUED ABOVE AUD$1,000


11.3.1 Import declarations are used to clear goods with a value exceeding AUD$1,000 from
ABF control. Import declarations are communicated to the Australian Border Force electronically
via the ICS or by lodgement of a completed import declaration form (B650) at an ABF counter.
11.3.2 A self-assessed clearance declaration must be made for imported goods arriving by air
cargo valued at or below AUD$1,000.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1473

ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

11.3.3 Temporarily imported goods subject to a carnet may be cleared without an import decla-
ration. Temporarily imported goods must be re-exported from Australia within the time period
specified by the ABF.

11.4 TREATMENT OF DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR GOODS


11.4.1 All air cargo consignments of diplomatic and consular goods require a cargo report. How-
ever, an import declaration is not required to be submitted to the Australian Border Force (for dip-
lomatic/consular/mail/pouch/bags).
11.4.2 Most diplomatic and consular goods are exempt from duty and taxes and cost recovery
charges provided the goods meet all the Australian Border Force and the DAWE – biosecurity
legislative requirements including the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 and the
Biosecurity Regulations 2016. Where prohibited goods are to be imported, permission must be
obtained prior to the importations of the goods. Further details are available online:
www.abf.gov.au/importing-exporting-and-manufacturing/prohibited-goods.
11.4.3 The B615 form and other reporting requirements must be provided to the Australian
Border Force for the release of privileged imports from customs control.

11.5 DEPARTURE REPORT


11.5.1 The departure report is a prerequisite that must be satisfied before a certificate of clear-
ance can be granted by the Australian Border Force.
11.5.2 A departure report is a statement made by the pilot or owner of the aircraft, or an agent,
to the Australian Border Force providing information concerning the proposed date and time of
departure of the aircraft.
11.5.3 The departure report must be lodged electronically in the ICS.
11.5.4 For airlines that co-load/codeshare, a Departure Report is required for each flight number
even though it is the same aircraft departing.

11.6 OUTWARDS MANIFEST


11.6.1 Air cargo being exported from Australia must be reported in the form of an outward mani-
fest. The outwards manifest must specify all goods that were loaded on board the aircraft.
11.6.2 The pilot or owner of the aircraft must provide the outwards manifest electronically, in the
ICS, not later than three days after the day of departure of the aircraft.
11.6.3 If a departing aircraft is not carrying any export cargo, a manifest must still be lodged.
This manifest states that no cargo was loaded and is called a ‘Nil Manifest’.

11.7 EXPORT REPORTING


11.7.1 The exporter must lodge an export declaration and obtain a “clear” Export Declaration
Number before the cargo may be loaded for export. An export declaration can be communicated
by document or electronically through the ICS. An Export Declaration Number is required for the

AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

b. goods on which a drawback is to be claimed;


c. customable and excisable goods on which duty/excise has not been paid; and
d. goods with a value greater than AUD$2,000, except exempt goods.
11.7.2 A Main Manifest Number is supplied by ABF.

The pilot of an aircraft must not depart from any airport without receiving an aircraft Certificate of
Clearance from an ABF Officer.

12 BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS
12.1 Australia is free from many diseases, pests and weeds which cause serious damage in
other parts of the world. Air crew and passengers are required to comply with legislative require-
ments under the Biosecurity Act 2015 to help preserve this.
12.2 Imported air cargo of biosecurity interest (such as fruit and vegetables, live plants, seeds,
animal, avian and aquatic species or commodities derived from these products) must be reported
via the ABF ICS System.
12.3 The relevant type of import declaration is required to be lodged for each imported consign-
ment of biosecurity interest prior to release of cargo.
12.4 The import conditions for cargo of biosecurity interest are outlined in the DAWE – Biosecur-
ity Import Conditions Database (BICON): https://bicon.agriculture.gov.au/BiconWeb4.0.
12.5 Transport and packaging requirements for live animal, avian and aquatic species are speci-
fied in the International Air Transport Association – Live Animal Regulations, available at:
www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/live-animals/Pages/index.aspx.
12.6 Importers should note that all biosecurity inspections, permits and entries carry a fee for
service charge. More information is available at: www.agriculture.gov.au/fees.

13 AIR CARGO SECURITY REQUIREMENTS


13.1 The Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 (ATSA) and the Aviation Transport Security Reg-
ulations 2005 (the Regulations) establish a regulatory framework to safeguard against unlawful
interference with aviation and maintain and improve aviation security.
13.2 Supply chain security for air cargo is regulated under the ATSA and the Regulations, which
require certain air cargo supply chain industry participants to hold and maintain approved security
programs. Operating under the Regulated Air Cargo Agent scheme, the Accredited Air Cargo
Agent scheme and the Known Consignor scheme, security programs set out the measures and
procedures industry participants need to implement to meet their obligations under the ATSA and
Regulations.
13.3 All outbound international air cargo is required to be examined at piece-level by a Regula-
ted Air Cargo Agent or originate from a Known Consignor. Piece-level examination means that
each individual box, carton or other item in a shipment must be examined at a deconsolidated
level. To originate from a Known Consignor means goods must be produced, packaged, stored,
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1475
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

controlled, transported and handled in a manner that ensures their integrity and protects them
from unlawful interference from their point of origin through to loading onto an aircraft.
13.4 In order for an item of cargo to be loaded onto an international aircraft, that cargo must be
issued with a security declaration from a Known Consignor or Regulated Air Cargo Agent.
Domestic air cargo must be examined at the piece level by a Regulated Air Cargo Agent, or origi-
nate from a Known Consignor and have a security declaration if it is loaded onto aircraft departing
any designated or tier 1 security controlled airport. This applies only to aircraft with a seating
capacity of 40 persons or more and/or a maximum take-off weight of 20,000kg or more. Closed
charter flights are excluded from the domestic air cargo examination requirements. Refer to Regu-
lation 1.03 of the Regulations for the definition of ‘closed charter operation’.
Enquiries around regulatory requirements should be directed to the Transport Security Guidance
Centre within the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre, Department of Home Affairs (see
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS — NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS — Designated
Authorities).

VISA REQUIREMENTS
With the exception of New Zealand passport holders and prescribed classes of persons under the
Special Purpose visa framework, all non-citizens are required to have a visa for travel to Australia.
Carriers are required to ensure non-citizen passengers traveling to Australia hold, or are eligible
to hold, a valid visa. Persons in possession of expired visas should not be carried to Australia.
Visas for travel to Australia may be for either single or multiple journeys within the validity of the
visa. Visas facilitate travel, but do not guarantee entry. Visitors who fail to satisfy border checks
can be refused entry to Australia.
The majority of visas granted will not be evidenced by a stick-in visa label in a passport as visa
labels ceased to be issued from 1 September 2015. Existence of a visa should be verified by air-
lines at check in via the APP system.
There are two types of visas: temporary and permanent.
Electronic Travel Authorities (ETA) are temporary visas for short term stays for tourism or busi-
ness visitor activities.
Where capable, airlines may apply for ETA for tourist or short term business travel to bearers of
passports issued by the following countries:

Andorra Ireland Singapore


Austria Italy South Korea
Belgium Japan Spain
Brunei Liechtenstein Sweden
Canada Luxembourg Switzerland
Denmark Malaysia Taiwan
Finland Malta United Kingdom
France Monaco (British Citizens
Germany Netherlands and British
Greece Norway Nationals
Hong Kong Portugal Overseas)
Iceland San Marino USA

Further information regarding these visas and the visa application process can be found at
www.eta.homeaffairs.gov.au including authenticating Taiwanese passports.
Special Purpose Visas (SPV) are a class of temporary visa taken to have been granted by oper-
ation of law to certain persons or classes of persons.

AVIATION SECURITY
All aviation security incidents must be reported to the Department of Home Affairs, Cyber and
Infrastructure Security Centre (see DESIGNATED AUTHORITIES).
Under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, aviation security incidents are defined as:
a. a threat of unlawful interference with aviation; or
b. an unlawful interference with aviation.
Aviation Security: Transport Security Program Requirements
The Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 (Division 2 of Part 2) requires that all operators of a
security controlled airport or a prescribed air service operating within, to, or from Australia have a
Transport Security Program approved by the Department of Home Affairs.
NOTE: A prescribed air service is defined in regulation 1.06 of the Aviation Transport Security
Regulations 2005 and includes:
a. a regular public transport operation; or

AUSTRALIA
NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

b. an air service in which a jet is used; or


c. an air service in which an aircraft with a certificated maximum take-off weight greater than
5700 kilograms is used.
A Transport Security Program is required to articulate the security measures and procedures that
will be implemented by the aircraft operator of a prescribed air service to prevent unlawful interfer-
ence with aviation when operating from, to or within Australia and its territorial limits. The Trans-
port Security Program must demonstrate that the operator understands its role, its local risk con-
text, obligations and responsibilities in managing aviation security.
Transport Security Program assessment is subject to a 60-day consideration period. Operators of
prescribed air service are strongly encouraged to submit a Transport Security Program for consid-
eration at least 60-days prior to the intended commencement of air services into or within Aus-
tralia to ensure that planned aviation services are not impacted. The submitted Transport Security
Program must meet all requirements set out in sections 16 and 17 of the Aviation Transport
Security Act 2004 and Part 2 Division 2.3 of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005.
The Australian Government does not recognize aviation security programs approved by other
nations. It is an offense, under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, to operate a prescribed
air service into or within Australia without an approved Transport Security Program in force.
Exemptions to these requirements are not generally available.
Guidance for the production and submission of a Transport Security Program is available on the
Department of Home Affairs website at:
www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/transport-security/air-cargo-and-aviation/aviation/
aircraft-operators.
Transport Security Program submissions are to be lodged by operators of prescribed air services
by email to: national.coordinator@homeaffairs.gov.au.
Operators of prescribed air services that are registered in a nation/country other than Australia
are required to provide proof of legal entity name from their country of business registration as
part of their submission.
Any third party engaged to act on behalf of the operator of a prescribed air service making appli-
cation or enquiry for a Transport Security Program must provide evidence in writing evidence from
an authorized representative of the aircraft operator/company at time of application. The Depart-
ment of Home Affairs prefers to communicate directly with the prescribed aircraft operator making
application.
Enquiries around regulatory requirements or submissions under development should be directed
to the Guidance Centre within the Aviation and Maritime Security Division, Department of Home
Affairs.
Enquiries whether a Transport Security Program is required are to include:
a. whether an application has been made or approved for “Flights by Foreign State Aircraft”.
b. if an application has not been made or approved per above then the following information is
required:

AIRCRAFT CHARGES
Airservices Australia is responsible for the provision of air navigation facilities and services in Aus-
tralia. These services are provided on commercial terms and Airservices levies flight-based
charges to recover the cost associated with these facilities and services, including ARFFS from
aircraft operators. Detailed information on Airservices charges, including how they are calculated
and methods of payment, can be found online: www.airservicesaustralia.com/industry-info/avia-
tion-charging/.
The Department of Infrastructure Transport, Regional Development and Communications (Infra-
structure) is responsible for the recovery of the cost of noise amelioration programs through the
mechanism of the Noise Levy Charge. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is responsible for the
provision of aviation meteorological services and recovers the cost of these services from aircraft
operators.
To avoid duplication of administration and to assist customers in making payments, a single
monthly invoice and/or statement covering Airservices charges, BoM charges and the Common-
wealth Noise Levy is issued. Enquiries related to charges can be directed to Business Services,
Airservices Australia by email: billing@airservicesaustralia.com.
Passenger Movement Charge
The PMC is an AUD$60 charge payable where a passenger departs Australia for another country,
whether or not the person returns to Australia. The PMC is administered by the Department of
Home Affairs and its operational arm, the Australian Border Force. The preferred method of col-
lection is through voluntary Arrangements with carriers, where the passenger pays PMC as incor-
porated in the ticket price. Details relating to the charge including how PMC is collected, how to
establish a PMC Arrangement and exemptions can be found online: www.abf.gov.au/entering-
and-leaving-australia/crossing-the-border/passenger-movement/passenger-movement-charge-

descent (TOD) or any further spraying on arrival.
Residually disinsected aircraft originating from a malarial area (i.e. where malaria is endemic or
malaria carrying mosquitoes exist) will be further subjected to TOD spraying prior to landing. Any
failure in the latter will cause disinsection immediately on arrival. The serial numbers of all the
used cans to be declared on the health part of the General Declaration and all the used cans are
to be surrendered to the Health Quarantine Officers immediately upon arrival.
Valid “Residual Disinsection Certificate” (RDC)(original) should be made available for inspec-
tion by Health Quarantine Officials immediately on arrival.
Any invalid “RDC” or failure to furnish the “RDC” will cause disinsection of the aircraft before dis-

gers.
Hamilton and Palmerston North airports are designated as Customs airports, but they do not cur-
rently have scheduled international services. There are no Customs services available. The proc-
ess set out below for applying to arrive or depart from a non-Customs designated airport must be
used by an aircraft operator seeking to use Hamilton or Palmerston North airports for any form of

Whenuapai and Ohakea are also designated as Customs airports but are restricted to military
flights only.

NON-DESIGNATED AIRPORTS
Prior permission is required for entry into non-designated airports and will only be granted subject
to MPI/Customs approval. Charges will be applied for attendance. Applications must be received
by Customs and MPI at least 72 hours prior to arrival in New Zealand.
Aircraft may land at other than a designated airport if compelled by accident, bad weather or other
necessity, provided that the pilot-in-command complies with the requirements of Section 25 of the
Customs Act. The pilot-in-command of the aircraft:
a. must:
1. report to a Customs officer or to a member of the police; and
2. comply with any directions given by a Customs officer in respect of any goods, crew or
passengers carried in the aircraft; and

AIRCRAFT ENTRY REQUIREMENTS


GENERAL
Aircraft flying into or departing from Philippine territory shall make their first landing at, or final
departure from, an international aerodrome/heliport (see AIRPORTS OF ENTRY).
For reasons of national security, all aircraft flights originating from foreign countries which will
overfly or land on Philippine territory are monitored to ensure that such flight will not be inimical or
injurious to national security. Thus, as a standing policy, all aircraft of foreign registry, except
scheduled air carriers desiring to overfly Philippine airspace, or to land in Philippine territory are
required to secure diplomatic clearances, before operating such flights. For purpose of this proce-
dures, Philippine airspace is not considered according to its legal definition as internationally
accepted but is meant to be the airspace covered by the Philippine Air Defence Identification
Zone (PADIZ) and, in the case of Mindanao, Palawan and the Sulu archipelago, the airspace
within the Philippine treaty boundaries.

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

Australian definitions and abbreviations applicable to this section which are not published
or differ from those published in INTRODUCTION — Chart Glossary. See also Definitions
and Abbreviations sections in Air Traffic Control, Meteorology and Terminal.

1 DEFINITIONS
ALERTED SEE-AND-AVOID — A procedure where flight crew, having been alerted to the exis-
tence and approximate location of other traffic in their immediate vicinity, seek to sight and avoid
colliding with those known aircraft.
ALERTING POST — An agency designated to serve as an intermediary between a person
reporting an aircraft in distress and a Rescue Coordination Center.
ALERTING SERVICE — A service provided to notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft
in need of search and rescue aid, and to assist such organizations as required.
BRIEFING — The act of giving in advance, specific pre-flight instructions or information to an air-
crew.
EMERGENCY PHASES —
a. Uncertainty Phase: A situation wherein uncertainty exists as to the safety of an aircraft and
its occupants.
b. Alert Phase: A situation wherein apprehension exists as to the safety of an aircraft and its
occupants.
c. Distress Phase: A situation wherein there is reasonable certainty that an aircraft and its
occupants are threatened by grave and imminent danger or require immediate assistance.
FULL EMERGENCY (In the context of Aerodrome Emergency Plans) — A situation in which
the response of all agencies involved in the Aerodrome Emergency Plan will be activated. A Full
Emergency will be declared when an aircraft approaching the airport is known or suspected to be
in such trouble that there is danger of an accident.
LAND RESCUE UNIT — A land party equipped to undertake a search for an aircraft within the
region of its responsibility.
LOCAL STANDBY (In the context of Aerodrome Emergency Plans) — A situation in which
activation of only the airport-based agencies involved in the Aerodrome Emergency Plan is war-
ranted. A Local Standby will be the normal response when an aircraft approaching an airport is
known or is suspected to have developed some defect, but the trouble is not such as would nor-
mally involve any serious difficulty in effecting a safe landing.
RESCUE COORDINATION CENTER — A unit established for promoting efficient organization of
search and rescue service and for coordinating the conduct of search and rescue operations
within a search and rescue region.
SARTIME — The time nominated by a pilot for the initiation of SAR action if a report has not been
received by the nominated unit.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1714
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

SEARCH AND RESCUE — The act of finding and returning to safety, aircraft and persons
involved in an emergency phase.
SEARCH AND RESCUE REGION (SRR) — The specified area within which search and rescue
is coordinated by a particular Rescue Coordination Center.
UNALERTED SEE-AND-AVOID — A procedure where flight crew, who have no specific knowl-
edge of other aircraft in their vicinity, rely solely on their ability to physically sight and avoid collid-
ing with aircraft that may be in their vicinity.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

1.4 IMPOSITION OF SILENCE


1.4.1 Only the aircraft in distress or the unit in control of distress communications are permitted
to impose silence on any station which interferes with distress communications. The call should
be addressed to ALL STATIONS or one station only, depending on the circumstances. The call
used should be as follows:
“STOP TRANSMITTING; MAYDAY”

2 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
2.1 An aircraft which is being subjected to unlawful interference must endeavor to inform ATS of
this fact, along with any deviation from the current flight plan and any other significant factors
affecting the operation. SSR-equipped aircraft should use an appropriate code.
2.1.1 Information pertinent to the safe conduct of the flight will continue to be transmitted by ATS
and appropriate action taken to expedite the conduct of the flight.

3 COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
NOTE: In the event of communications failure, maintain terrain clearance throughout all proce-
dures.

3.1 INDICATIONS BY AN AIRCRAFT


3.1.1 In Flight
a. during the hours of daylight — by rocking the aircraft's wings; and
NOTE: This signal should not be expected on the base and final legs of the approach.
b. during the hours of darkness — by flashing on and off twice the aircraft's landing lights or, if
not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.
3.1.2 On the Ground
a. during the hours of daylight — by waggling the aircraft's ailerons or rudder; and
b. during the hours of darkness — by flashing on and off twice the aircraft's landing lights or, if
not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.

3.2 IF VFR IN CLASS G AIRSPACE


3.2.1 Remain in VMC.
3.2.2 Broadcast Intentions (assume transmitter is operating and prefix calls with “TRANSMIT-
TING BLIND”).
3.2.3 Remain VFR in Class G airspace and land at the nearest suitable airport.
3.2.4 Report arrival to ATS if on SARTIME or reporting schedules (SAR telephone number:
1800 815 257).
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1718
AUSTRALIA
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.3 IF IN CONTROLLED/RESTRICTED AIRSPACE OR IF IFR IN ANY


AIRSPACE
3.3.1 Squawk 7600.
3.3.2 Listen out on ATIS and/or voice modulated NAVAIDs.
3.3.3 Transmit intentions and make normal position reports (assume transmitter is operating and
prefix calls with “TRANSMITTING BLIND”).
AND
If in VMC and are certain of maintaining VMC.
3.3.4 Stay in VMC and land at the most suitable airport (note special procedures if proceeding to
a Class D).
OR
If in IMC or are uncertain of maintaining VMC.
3.3.5 If no clearance limit received and acknowledged, proceed in accordance with the latest
ATC route clearance acknowledged and climb to planned level.
3.3.6 If a clearance limit involving an altitude or route restriction has been received and acknowl-
edged:
a. maintain last assigned level, or minimum safe altitude if higher, for three (3) minutes, and/or
b. hold at nominated location for three (3) minutes, then
c. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged, and climb to plan-
ned level.
3.3.7 If receiving an ATS surveillance service:
a. climb to MSA/LSALT, and,
b. if being vectored, maintain last assigned vector for two (2) minutes, then
c. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged.
3.3.8 If holding:
a. fly one more complete holding pattern, then
b. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged.
NOTE:
a. Initial and subsequent actions by the pilot at the time of loss of communications will depend
largely on the pilot’s knowledge of the destination instrument approaches, the air traffic/air
space situation and meteorological conditions enroute and at the destination. Publishing pro-
cedures that cover all radio failure circumstances is not possible. The above procedures
ensure that ATS and other traffic should be aware of the pilot’s most likely actions. Pilots
should follow these procedures unless strong reasons dictate otherwise.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1719
AUSTRALIA
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

b. In determining the final level to which a pilot will climb after radio failure, ATC will use the
level provided on the flight notification, or the last level requested by the pilot and acknowl-
edged by ATC.

3.4 DESTINATION PROCEDURES


3.4.1 Track to the destination in accordance with flight plan (amended by the latest ATC clear-
ance acknowledged, if applicable).
3.4.2 Commence descent in accordance with standard operating procedures or flight plan.
3.4.3 Descend to the initial approach altitude for the most suitable instrument approach in
accordance with the published procedures.
3.4.4 Carry out the approach to the prescribed circling minima.
NOTE:
a. The most suitable approach is normally the approach that facilitates the most accurate track
keeping, however, if the pilot is in receipt of ATIS or directed information (e.g. voice modula-
ted navigation aid) that a specific approach is required, that approach should be used.
b. If an approach time has been given by ATC and acknowledged, adhere to this time.
c. When within 25 NM of the destination, the pilot may track direct to the IAF for the most suita-
ble approach.
d. At Sydney during Independent Visual Approaches
– In the event of a radio failure (or blocked FREQ) on the DIRECTOR FREQ, pilots must
comply with the following actions:
a. ON PILOT NAVIGATION (IF VISUAL)
SQUAWK 7600 immediately.
Track to intercept final at a MAX 30DEG prior to the IAF of the nominated RWY.
DO NOT PASS THROUGH FINAL FOR THE NOMINATED RWY.
b. ON A RADAR ASSIGNED HEADING
SQUAWK 7600.
Maintain assigned vector for no longer than 2 minutes. Track as required to join final
for the nominated RWY at a MAX 30DEG intercept to commence final.
DO NOT PASS THROUGH FINAL OF THE NOMINATED RWY.
– Pilots should attempt to contact the alternate DIRECTOR FREQ (126.1/125.3). Attempts
should also be made on the TWR FREQ.

3.5 ACTIONS AT MINIMA


3.5.1 If visual at the minima at an uncontrolled airport, continue to land provided that a safe
landing can be accomplished. If visual at the minima at a controlled airport continue to land provi-

ded that a clearance to land is received via a voice modulated NAVAID and/or light signal from
the Tower.
3.5.2 If not visual at the minima, depart for a suitable alternate airport.
3.5.3 If insufficient fuel is carried to divert to a suitable alternate, the pilot may hold or carry out
additional approaches until visual.
3.5.4 Certain Class D airports have specific communications failure procedures which are
shown at each entry of the Jeppesen AUSTRALIA APT DIR (graphic version) and in the Australia
ERSA FAC section (not published herein).

3.6 ATS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM PROCEDURES


3.6.1 Radio Failure Procedures
3.6.1.1 When an aircraft is being vectored the interval between radio transmissions is short.
Pilots should make a radio check if no transmission is heard after a reasonable interval.
3.6.1.2 In the event of failure of two-way communications while receiving an ATS surveillance
service, the pilot must change to the alternative frequency and request instructions.
3.6.1.3 If unable to make contact on the alternative frequency, the pilot must comply with stand-
ard radio failure procedures.
3.6.1.4 If able to receive but not transmit, the pilot must remain on the assigned frequency and
comply with instructions issued which are designed to establish that the aircraft is receiving. If this
is established, further instructions will be issued.
3.6.2 ATS Surveillance System – Failure Procedure
In the event of ATS surveillance system failure, or loss of identification, appropriate instructions
will be issued.
3.6.3 SSR Emergency Codes
3.6.3.1 The pilot of an aircraft encountering an emergency in flight, other than loss of two way
communications, should select code 7700 unless they have specific reason to believe that main-
taining the assigned code would be the better course of action.
3.6.3.2 The pilot of an aircraft subject to unlawful interference should select code 7500. On
receipt of this code the controller will:
a. request confirmation of the setting of the assigned code as follows: “CONFIRM SQUAWK-
ING ASSIGNED CODE”. (The absence of a reply in these circumstances shall be regarded
as positive evidence of the emergency);
b. provide the aircraft with priority in all respects;
c. transmit all useful information pertinent to the conduct of the flight without expecting a reply
from the aircraft;
d. avoid references to the nature of the emergency except if it is first referred to by the pilot;
e. monitor and plot the progress of the flight;
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1721
AUSTRALIA
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

f. coordinate transfer of control, as appropriate, without requiring responses from the aircraft,
unless communication remains normal; and
g. relay messages as required between the aircraft and appropriate authorities.
3.6.3.3 The pilot of an aircraft losing two-way communication must set the transponder to CODE
7600.
3.6.3.4 A controller observing a 7600 code shall request the pilot to operate the identification
(SPI) function. If the identification signal is received, further control of the aircraft will be continued
using the identification transmission to acknowledge receipt of instructions issued.
3.6.3.5 If the identification signal is not received, the aircraft must continue with the transponder
on CODE 7600 and follow radio failure procedures.
3.6.3.6 When an RPAS experiences a lost link between the RP and the RPA, the SSR code to
be selected or automatically enabled is 7400.
3.6.4 Speechless Radar Approach Procedures
3.6.4.1 A pilot may request a speechless Radar approach when microphone(s) is/are unservice-
able (carrier wave only available) by transmitting four (4) separate and distinct unmodulated trans-
missions of one (1) second duration.
3.6.4.2 Pilot responses to subsequent control questions:
a. affirmative or acknowledgement — one (1) distinct transmission;
b. negative — two (2) separate and distinct transmissions;
c. say again — three (3) separate and distinct transmissions.
3.6.4.3 Pilot indicates a further and pertinent unserviceability or an emergency by five (5) sepa-
rate and distinct transmissions.
3.6.4.4 Pilot indicates abandoning the aircraft by a single continuous transmission as long as
practicable. Where possible the transmitter key is to be locked on.
3.6.4.5 When the controller requires the pilot to indicate when an instruction has been comple-
ted — the pilot will, when condition or instruction is completed, make a two (2) second transmis-
sion.
3.6.5 ADS-B Emergency Codes
3.6.5.1 Due to the ADS-B emergency processing limitations, if a generic ADS-B emergency indi-
cation is received from an aircraft outside of radar coverage and the flight crew does not verbally
communicate the nature of the emergency, the controller will use the procedures detailed in para-
graph 3.6.3.2.a.

4 COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVAID FAILURE


NOTE: In the event of complete failure of communications and navigation aids, maintain terrain
clearance and proceed as follows:
a. If VFR in Class G Airspace:

RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SERVICES AND SNOW PLAN

1 RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SERVICES


1.1 GENERAL
1.1.1 Subpart 139.H (Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Services) of CASR 1998 and Part
139H Manual of Standards, which are available via the CASA website, prescribe the standards for
Rescue and Firefighting Service (RFFS) in Australia. RFFS categories are based on the rescue
and firefighting standards contained in ICAO Annex 14, Vol I, Aerodrome Design and Operations,
Chapter 9 (not published herein).
1.1.2 RFFS is provided at certain airports according to the type of aircraft normally using that
airport and the frequency of aircraft operations. Details of the RFFS available at Australian air-
ports, including hours of operation, can be found in AUSTRALIA — AIRPORT DIRECTORY.

1.2 LEVELS OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE AT AIRPORTS


1.2.1 This section summarizes the levels of emergency response that are normally provided
under an Aerodrome Emergency Plan (AEP).
1.2.2 Local Standby
1.2.2.1 A Local Standby involves the activation of the airport-based responding agencies. Out-
side services do not normally respond for a Local Standby. At an airport without RFFS facilities,
the response (if any) to a declaration of a Local Standby will be set out in the AEP.
1.2.2.2 A Local Standby will be the normal response when an aircraft approaching an airport is
known or is suspected to have developed some defect or operational issue, but the trouble is not
such as would normally involve any serious difficulty making a safe landing.
1.2.2.3 Unless the pilot requests otherwise, at least a Local Standby will be initiated in response
to a PAN call.
1.2.3 Full Emergency
1.2.3.1 A Full Emergency involves the activation of both airport and off-airport responding agen-
cies.
1.2.3.2 A Full Emergency will be the normal response when an aircraft approaching the airport
is known or suspected to be in such trouble that there is danger of an accident.
1.2.3.3 Unless the pilot requests otherwise, a Full Emergency will be initiated in response to a
MAYDAY call.
1.2.3.4 A crash on the airport will initiate a Full Emergency response.
1.2.4 Airports Where No RFFS is Provided/In Operation
For an airport where there is no on-airport fire service or when the airport fire service has been
stood down, ATS will ask the pilot to advise services required on arrival. ATS will then activate the
AEP at the appropriate level.

1.3 RFFS EMERGENCY FREQUENCY


1.3.1 RFFS emergency frequency 131.0 MHz is available for direct communication between the
Fire Commander and affected flight crew during an airport emergency at selected airports. ATC
must be advised of an intention to operate on the frequency.
1.3.2 All communication with ATC during an airport emergency must be conducted on the
normal ATC frequencies.

2 SNOW PLAN
Only a small number of airports and heliports within Australia are normally subject to snow condi-
tions. Consequently there is no national snow plan, or any specific regulation for the clearance of
snow and ice from runways and maneuvering areas.
2.2 For airports and heliports likely to be affected, pilots and operators are advised to contact
the airport operator directly for information about the relevant airport snow plan.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

1 PURPOSE
1.1 The purpose of the Search and Rescue (SAR) organization is to provide assistance to air-
craft in distress and to search for, provide aid to, and organize the rescue of survivors of aircraft
accidents and forced landings.

2 RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY
2.1 Airservices Australia is responsible for the provision of a SAR alerting and in-flight emer-
gency response service. Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Australia is responsible for
the conduct of SAR for missing aircraft, aircraft reported crashed, and ELT searches within the
Search and Rescue Region (SRR) under Australian jurisdiction.

3 ORGANIZATION
3.1 The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) have established a Joint Rescue Coordi-
nation Centre in Canberra (JRCC AUSTRALIA) which is responsible for the coordination of avia-
tion and maritime SAR efforts within the Australian SRR. Refer to the chart at paragraph 6 SAR

5 PROCEDURES
5.1 PILOT NOTIFICATION
5.1.1 The efficacy of the SAR action by the Airservices or JRCC Australia is directly related to
the amount and accuracy of details notified in the flight plan or flight note, and to any position
details reported in flight. When notifying of in-flight difficulties, early advice of and the degree of
apprehension felt by the pilot will enhance the assistance which can be provided by the ground
organization.
5.1.2 When a pilot lands at a place other than an aerodrome included in the flight notification,
the pilot should report the fact to ATS, JRCC Australia, or the police as soon as possible.

5.2 FLIGHT NOTES


5.2.1 Persons maintaining a SARWATCH by means of a Flight Note must contact JRCC Aus-
tralia in the event that the flight becomes overdue.

5.3 ADVICE TO AIRCRAFT OPERATORS


If an emergency phase is declared, where practicable, the aircraft operator will be advised as fol-
lows:
a. Uncertainty or Alert phase — the ATS unit will advise the operator of all relevant informa-
tion passed to JRCC Australia; or
b. Distress phase — JRCC Australia will advise the operator of all SAR response actions.

7 INFLIGHT EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTION


7.1 RADIO FAILURE OR FAILURE TO REPORT
7.1.1 On the basis that only the aircraft’s transmitter may have failed and that ground transmis-
sions can still be received, the following information may be broadcast from suitable stations,
including some radio navigation aids:
a. lowest safe altitudes;
b. direction, bearings, DR position or headings to steer if practicable;
c. emergency aerodromes;
d. weather conditions at destination and alternates;
e. ditching weather report; and
f. separation action being taken by ATC.

7.2 NAVIGATIONAL ASSISTANCE


7.2.1 All available navigation aids which may be of use to the aircraft will be switched on and
non-continuous aids may also be activated. Furthermore:
a. ATS surveillance system equipped units will keep a look-out for the aircraft;
b. aerodrome lighting may be activated; and
c. if the aircraft can advise its last known position, and headings, speed and times flown since
that position, an air plot can be made, actual winds added and a DR position and heading to
steer passed to the aircraft on an advisory basis.

7.3 INTERCEPT AND ESCORT


7.3.1 Arrangements may be made to escort an aircraft experiencing abnormal operations.

7.4 DITCHING
7.4.1 When a ditching is likely, the JRCC will obtain the positions of ships along the aircraft’s
route and advise the pilot, and:
a. Attempts will be made to arrange a direct speech link or a rapid relay system between the
aircraft and a selected ship;
b. Weather reports, including sea conditions and a selected ditching heading, will be passed to
the aircraft; and
c. Arrangements may be made for ships to provide navigational assistance, lighting and reduce
the effects of the sea, swell or wind.

7.5 MEDICAL EMERGENCY


7.5.1 A pilot that is not engaged in the transport of patients under HOSP or MEDEVAC opera-
tions should notify ATC of an onboard medical emergency by declaring a PAN and appending the
words ‘MEDICAL PRIORITY REQUIRED’. The pilot should specify any service attendance
requirements such as RFFS. ATC will provide the flight with MEDEVAC priority but will not
arrange an ambulance or activate airport emergency procedures unless requested. Declaring a
medical emergency does not satisfy the biosecurity pre-reporting requirements specified in
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS — Entry Transit and Departure of Passengers and Crew.
7.5.2 The pilot of a medical flight should notify ATC of changes to priority requirements by
changing the status of their flight, e.g. by amending status from HOSP to MEDEVAC.

7.6 PARTICIPATION IN SEARCHES


7.6.1 General. JRCC Australia may request aircraft and crew to assist with a SAR operation.
7.6.2 Briefing. Whenever possible the pilot of a search aircraft should contact the JRCC to con-
firm the briefing prior to the search commencing.
7.6.3 Debriefing. Pilots should present a post-flight report to the JRCC as soon as possible
after completion of the flight.

7.6.4 Safety. Civil aircraft engaged in SAR operations are required to comply with the Civil Avia-
tion Regulations and Civil Aviation Safety Regulations.

8 THIRD PARTY EMERGENCY REPORTING


8.1 A pilot observing another aircraft or surface craft in distress and is able to assist should:
a. Remain in the vicinity or as directed otherwise and keep the aircraft, surface craft or dis-
tressed personnel in sight;
b. Turn on automatic emergency radio equipment unless:
1. accurate position fixing is possible; and
2. two-way communications exist with ATS.
c. Report the following information as applicable to the responsible ATS:
1. Type of aircraft or surface craft;
2. Location of distress incident in latitude and longitude, geographical point or bearing and
distance from some fixed point; and
3. Details regarding the number of personnel concerned, whether known to be afloat and
the apparent physical condition of survivors.
d. Alert coast and ship stations by transmitting on international distress frequencies 2182,
4125, 6215 or 8291 kHz.
e. Transmit on any frequency which will enable other craft to home to the distress location;
f. Call to surface craft to render assistance by use of maneuvers set out below or otherwise by
communication on 2182 or 4125 kHz, or 156.8 MHz (VHF channel 16);
g. Attempt to establish communication with the aircraft in distress when requested by ATC;
h. Before departing from the area, turn off automatic emergency radio equipment.

10 AIR SEARCH PATTERNS


10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 This section is included to assist pilots of aircraft engaged in air search operations. The
information is necessarily brief and it is recommended that a full preflight briefing be obtained
whenever time and/or circumstances permit.

10.2 VISUAL SEARCH


10.2.1 Visual search patterns are divided into six main groups, which are briefly described
below. In the diagrams, “S” represents track spacing; i.e., the distance in nautical miles between
successive tracks flown by the search aircraft, and will be specified by the RCC as part of the
briefing or by the assessed visual range of the day.
10.2.1.1 Trackline Search — A trackline pattern is most often used in an initial reaction. It is
very suitable for use by an aircraft available at, or near, the time of a reported distress. The
assumptions made are that survivors will be found on, or close to, the planned route of the miss-
ing craft, that the distressed craft is easily discernible, or that survivors will be capable of signaling
should an aircraft be seen or heard. It provides a rapid and reasonably thorough coverage of a
missing craft’s planned route, and the immediately adjacent area.

10.2.1.2 Parallel Track Search — Search legs are aligned parallel to the major axis of the
search area. The pattern is best used in rectangular or square areas. It is a very suitable pattern
for a search conducted over water.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1738
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.2.1.3 Creeping Line Search — The creeping line pattern differs from the parallel track pat-
tern in that the search legs are parallel to the minor axis.

10.2.1.4 Square Search — The aircraft is flown to make good the tracks shown in the following
diagram. Turns may be to the left, or right, depending upon the observer positions. The first two
tracks are flown for a distance equal to “S”, the third and fourth for a distance equal to twice “S”,
the fifth and sixth for three times “S”, and so on.
10.2.1.4.1 The final track to the start point should be the same as the initial search track. Obser-
vations should start at a distance of “S” before reaching the most probable position to avoid leav-
ing an unscanned portion near the start point. Observers should be briefed to pay particular atten-
tion to the scanning of the areas outwards of each turn to avoid leaving unscanned areas during
the turns.
10.2.1.4.2 A square search should be planned so that whenever possible the approach to the
most probable position (MPP), and the first leg, is made into the wind.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1739
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.2.1.5 Sector Search — This pattern is employed when the position of distress is known
within close limits and the area to be searched is not extensive. It is simple to execute and pro-
vides greater navigational accuracy than a square search. The track spacing reduces towards the
center, resulting in a greater probability of detection in the area where the target is most likely to
be located.
10.2.1.5.1 Radius of search, angular displacement and mean track spacing (MTS) are specified
with the briefing.

10.2.1.6 Contour Search — This procedure requires an aircraft to be flown at selected contour
levels, adjacent to the side of a mountain, starting at the highest selective level.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1740
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.3 ELECTRONIC SEARCH


10.3.1 Electronic searching is used to search for survivors who may have activated a VHF (or
VHF/ UHF) Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). An aircraft equipped with a VHF receiver may
locate a survival transmitter using procedures which are based on the assumption that an undis-
torted radiation pattern is approximately circular. A searchmeter may be used to assist a search
operation and is basically a signal strength meter which can be plugged into an aircraft VHF
receiver.
10.3.2 Non-Searchmeter Procedures
10.3.2.1 The following procedures should be used during initial aural search without a search-
meter:
a. Set the aircraft receiver to its most sensitive condition — squelch disabled;
b. Note and report the position at which the signal is first heard (SH) and fades (SF) and do not
change altitude or the condition of the radio;
c. After the signal has faded select a heading estimated to take the aircraft through the radia-
tion pattern, but ignore any beacon signals received during the turn;
d. Continue chording the radiation pattern until it is possible to establish a “cocked hat” for the
probable position of the beacon;
e. Carry out a final homing.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1741
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.3.2.2 The final homing procedures without a searchmeter are:


a. Track towards the estimated center of the radiation pattern. Set the aircraft receiver to its
most sensitive condition and descend, if possible, to be between 1000' and 2000' AGL in the
estimated center. When the signal from the beacon is very strong and very clear, check on
the adjacent frequencies of 121.45 or 121.55 MHz;
b. Traverse the area bounded by the “cocked hat”, listening for the beacon signal on the adja-
cent frequency;
c. On hearing the signal on the adjacent frequency, select and fly a heading which results in a
stronger signal. As the signal increases in strength, check further off frequency and descend
as required. At this stage it is most important that each track should be a straight line. Heli-
copter pilots should avoid any tendency to orbit a suspected site;
d. The accuracy of the homing will usually depend upon how far off frequency the signal can be
heard. It will be found that a signal being received on, for example, 121.3 or 121.7 MHz (over
land) will rise to a sharp peak only as the search aircraft passes over the beacon site at 500'
AGL. Where the terrain is heavily timbered such as a rain forest, helicopter pilots should
descend to lower levels and tune further off frequency to achieve greater accuracy. It is
important to use only information gained during straight and level flight;
e. Where the signal is irregular, it is usually because the beacon is located amongst obstacles
such as trees, rocks, wreckage, etc. The resultant radiation pattern is no longer circular and
the signal heard/signal fade principles no longer apply.

AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.3.3 Searchmeter Procedures


10.3.3.1 The following procedures should be used during aural search with a searchmeter:
a. Set the aircraft receiver to its most sensitive condition — squelch disabled;
b. Plug the searchmeter into the SAR outlet;
c. Fly as high as practicable for aircraft type and weather conditions;
d. On receiving the emergency signal, advise the Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) of posi-
tion, heading and indicated airspeed.
10.3.3.1.1 The radiation pattern from a beacon can either be approximately circular (regular) or
lobular (distorted). Where the signal received from the beacon is constant the following proce-
dures should be used:
a. Fly a heading which will result in an increase in the reading on the searchmeter. Maintain
this heading at a constant altitude and airspeed;

b. Note the time and aircraft position at each half division on the searchmeter;
c. Continue with a. above until readings on the searchmeter decrease. Select two positions of
equal reading and return to the mid position;
d. On arriving at the mid position, turn 90° and note the readings on the searchmeter. If the
meter readings decrease, turn 180° and proceed to determine two further positions of equal
signal strength then return to the mid position;
e. When it becomes apparent that the beacon is close, descend, if possible, to an altitude
approximately 2000' clearance above terrain within approximately 10 NM of the search air-
craft;
f. By continuing the boxing-in technique it should be possible to estimate the position of the
beacon to within an area of 24 square miles;
g. The beacon site may be located with greater accuracy by detuning the VHF receiver to
121.45 or 121.4 MHz while close to the transmitter and noting the position on the ground
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1743
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

over which there is maximum searchmeter deflection. The receiver may also be detuned to
121.55 or 121.6 MHz. With the search aircraft 500' AGL and the receiver tuned to 121.3 or
121.7 MHz, the signal will only be heard within 200 – 300 meters of the beacon site.

NOTE: Where the signal from the beacon is broken and distorted, it is probably because the
beacon is among obstacles, such as wreckage, trees, rocks, etc., which causes the signal to be
absorbed or reflected, forming lobes.
With the search aircraft flying along the track indicated below, the searchmeter needle would rise
and fall, corresponding with the passage of the aircraft through successive lobes where the signal
could be heard. In between the lobes there would be receiver noise and no signal. Provided the
aircraft is several thousand feet above the terrain, it may be assumed that the signal is being
received direct from the beacon rather than by reflection from the surrounding terrain. Thus by fol-
lowing a lobe the search aircraft will be guided direct to the beacon.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1744
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

10.3.3.2 When the ratio between the beacon signal and the background hash begins to favor
the latter, alter heading until only a clear signal can be heard. The signal from the beacon should
be continuous with clarity improving as the search aircraft approaches the beacon.
10.3.3.3 Once a heading has been established, note the searchmeter readings. The readings
will increase as the aircraft approaches the beacon site reaching a maximum when about to over-
fly. The position of the beacon may be located with greater accuracy by progressively detuning
the VHF receiver to 121.3 or 121.7 MHz.
10.3.3.4 Overwater Searches
10.3.3.4.1 The principles of an overwater search using a searchmeter are similar to those used
for a regular pattern. However, the following differences should be noted:
a. The radiation pattern from a beacon transmitting overwater will generally be much larger
than if the beacon was on land. This could be up to 90 NM to an aircraft flying at 10,000', and
180 NM at 30,000';
b. Some older marine beacons have an interrupted carrier.
c. Where a search aircraft is operating at an altitude of 10,000' or less and has a searchmeter
reading of more than four, the pilot should check on the adjacent frequency of 121.45 or
121.55 MHz. If the signal can be heard on that frequency, albeit faintly, the search aircraft
will be within 15 NM of the beacon.

10.4 MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN


10.4.1 A beacon which is activated in mountainous terrain may be likened to an electric light
bulb illuminated in a model of the same area. The pilot of an aircraft flying in areas where the light
is reflected would be able to receive signals which are reflected. From positions where the light
could be seen direct, signals would be received directly from the beacon or, conversely, where
there were no reflections and the light could not be seen, there would be no signals. Signals radi-
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1745
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

ating from a beacon in rough country are absorbed, reflected and reinforced to form isolated
patches of strong signal which tend to hinder rather than assist the location of the beacon.
10.4.2 To avoid possible confusion from reflected signals, it is essential that the search aircraft
conduct a homing from an altitude above all terrain in the general area. This does not apply to
search aircraft flying in valleys or behind mountains in order to ascertain where the beacon signal
cannot be heard.

11 EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)


11.1 GENERAL
11.1.1 Procedures detailing the use of ELT in an emergency are shown below.
NOTE 1: While the installation and use of automatic ELTs saves lives, improper use will lead to
false alarms and a resultant strain on scarce SAR resources.
NOTE 2: An ELT with GPS is able to transmit an accurate GPS location during an emergency.
Search and rescue authorities will be able to locate the aircraft much faster if the ELT has GPS.
11.1.2 Monitoring 121.5 MHz
Distress beacons, including ELTs, transmit on 121.5, 243 and 406 MHz. Pilots are requested to
monitor 121.5 MHz before engine start and after shutdown. Reception of a distress beacon trans-
mission at any time is requested to be reported to ATS or the JRCC immediately.
11.1.3 Inadvertent Activations
If an ELT has been inadvertently activated, this must also be reported to ATS or the JRCC imme-
diately.
11.1.4 Testing ELTs
Operational tests must be limited to five seconds, and the preferred procedure is that they be con-
ducted within the first five minutes of the hour. JRCC Australia must be notified in advance of the
test and, where the beacon is operated on 406 MHz, its HexID must be provided. Detailed ELT
testing procedures can be found on the AMSA website at www.amsa.gov.au/beacons.
11.1.5 ELT Registration
All ELTs must be registered on the Australian Beacon Register. See www.amsa.gov.au/beacons
for further details.
Registration allows the JRCC Australia to respond more quickly and effectively to real distress
activations of an ELT, and also helps the JRCC Australia respond appropriately to inadvertent
activations.

11.2 ACTIVATION
11.2.1 An Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is a valuable search aid if an aircraft is forced
down. However, to obtain maximum benefit from the transmitter and to assist search aircraft, it is
necessary to observe a few guidelines for the activation of the ELT.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1746
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.2.2 If in water and the beacon is buoyant, the ELT should be activated in the water and
allowed to float to the end of the lanyard with the aerial vertical. Do not hoist the ELT up a mast.
The performance of an ELT is degraded when it is raised above the water surface.
11.2.3 Life may depend on the correct use of the ELT; study the manufacturer’s instructions
thoroughly and keep them in an emergency kit.
11.2.4 If forced down:
a. Activate the ELT immediately;
b. Where the ELT is permanently installed in the aircraft, activate the beacon in situ;
c. Where the ELT is not permanently installed in the aircraft, select an elevated site clear of
trees, boulders etc., and reasonably close to the aircraft.
d. Place the beacon on the ground on an earth mat. If an earth mat is not available, place the
ELT on the wing of the aircraft or another metal reflective surface.
e. Secure the ELT with rocks, sticks, tape etc., so that the aerial will remain vertical. Avoid any-
thing touching the antennae as this will degrade ELT performance.
f. Remain clear of the ELT. Obstacles near the ELT will distort the radiation pattern.
g. An ELT which is damaged or under wreckage may still transmit some signal. Always activate
the ELT.
h. Do not switch off the ELT unless rescue is no longer required.
i. To avoid confusing COSPAS/SARSAT and direction finding equipment, avoid activating two
or more ELTs within 1 NM of each other.
11.2.5 In many cases, using an earth mat will increase the effective range of a portable ELT by
50%. A simple and effective earth mat can be made by using household aluminum foil to make a
120 centimeter square, folded and taped to the unit. To use the earth mat, unfold and place it flat
on the ground, securing edges with dirt or rocks. Activate the ELT and place it on the mat.

11.3 EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT) CHARACTERISTICS


11.3.1 Frequency 406 MHz (digital) and 121.5 MHz (analog) and, in some instances, 243 MHz.
11.3.2 121.5 and 243 MHz Modulation
a. Continuous carrier continuously modulated at the rate of three (3) swept tones per second
(no pauses);
b. Some older marine beacons transmit the carrier on for one (1) second then off for one (1)
second, modulation three swept tones per second. This results in the tones being received in
evenly spaced groups of three with a distinct one second pause between groups.
c. Some foreign marine beacons vary from the above; e.g., there is a European beacon pulsing
in groups of two tones.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1747
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.3.3 Reports
a. Report all signals received;
b. State characteristics;
c. When giving signal heard/signal fade positions, include aircraft level and squelch disabled
(MAX HASH) information. This is necessary for plotting;
d. Advise if signal commenced/ended gradually or abruptly;
e. Do not alter squelch setting unless requested.
NOTE: Rescue Coordination Centers can demonstrate the above signals on request.

12 SURVIVAL RADIO EQUIPMENT


12.1 International flights must be equipped with ELTs in accordance with the relevant ICAO
Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPS) which are:
a. for International Commercial Air Transport, para 6.17 of ICAO Annex 6, Part I, International
Commercial Air Transport – Aeroplanes;
b. for International General Aviation, para 2.4.12 of ICAO Annex 6, Part II, International Gen-
eral Aviation – Aeroplanes; and
c. for Helicopters, para 4.7 of ICAO Annex 6, Part III International Operations – Helicopters.
12.2 For these purposes, the whole of Australia is a designated area.
Certain Australian aircraft are required to be fitted with, or carry an ELT. The rules for these
requirements are contained in:
a. for sport and recreational aircraft operations – the applicable CAO;
b. for Part 121, 133 or 135 operations – division 10 of chapter 11 of the respective CASR Part
MOS;
c. for other operations (except Part 131 which has no mandatory requirements) – division 26.12
of the Part 91 MOS.
12.3 It is requested that pilots monitor 121.5 MHz as often as possible during flight. Reception of
an ELT transmission is requested to be reported to ATS or the RCC as soon as possible.

SURVIVAL

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Alone and injured, people have survived in almost impossible circumstances. The determi-
nation to beat the situation and the will to survive is the survivor's strongest weapons. Military
SAR will not give up searching for downed aircrew.
1.2 The peacetime priorities of survival are as listed below:
a. Protection: The elements of protection are:
1. First Aid – Breathing must be restarted within 3 minutes;
2. Clothing;
3. Shelter – In harsh weather a shelter will be required in less than 3 hours; and
4. Fire.
b. Location: Most survivors are located within 3 days.
c. Water: In Australia’s arid center water must be found within 3 days.
d. Food: Survival without food for at least 30 days is possible. Therefore, food is the lowest pri-
ority. Food information is contained in the JUNGLE SURVIVAL section.
1.3 Basic survival rules are outlined in the following sections:
a. Location.
b. First Aid;
c. Desert Survival;
d. Sea Survival;

5 DESERT SURVIVAL
5.1 IMMEDIATE ACTION
a. Activate ELT immediately: and
b. Rest in solid shade 0.3 meters above ground. (Do not use aircraft interior, if no shade is
available then erect a shelter.)

5.2 DESERT SURVIVAL RULES


NOTE: With temperatures above 30° C most of the body’s water loss is through sweating. The
body sweats to cool itself. Survivors must reduce body heat gains to minimize sweating and then
procure water at night. Night temperatures may be cold.
a. Rest in shade 0.3 meters above or 75cm below ground. Avoid gaining heat from ground con-
duction or hot air layer above ground.
b. Do essential work when sun is down and temperature has dropped to about 20° C.
c. Stay fully clothed. A single loose layer of clothing minimizes heat gains and maximizes sweat
cooling.
d. Ration water to stay hydrated. Check color of urine. Dehydrating will impair performance and
does not decrease water consumption.
e. Eat only carbohydrates and only if water is available. Avoid greasy or fatty foods;
f. Do not travel unless sure of water. Walking in sun instead of resting in shade will at least
halve survival time.

5.3 WATER PROCUREMENT


Sterilize all water sources except plastic bag procurement methods. Instructions for setting up
water procurement devices are contained with water transpirator bags.
a. TRANSPIRATOR BAGS — Best water procurement device, set up immediately;
b. DESERT STILL — Set up at night;
c. DEW/RAIN;
d. PLANTS — Unreliable source, look for damp patches on trees and insect life; and
e. GROUND WATER — Some indicators are terrain, bird life, vegetation, animal tracks and
insects. Water may exist in rock pools in hills as well as underground, in low lying creek
areas.

6 SEA SURVIVAL
6.1 IMMEDIATE ACTION
a. Secure and deploy raft;
b. Activate ELT immediately.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1754
AUSTRALIA
SURVIVAL

c. Gather useful equipment and board raft (dry if possible);


d. Roll call — locate missing persons;
e. Cut adrift, tie rafts together on 8 meter line and secure one man to raft;
f. Check raft, adjust sea anchor length to half distance between waves, and in cold weather
inflate floor and canopy;
g. Retrieve, secure (to prevent loss if capsized) and inventory equipment;
h. Develop a plan of action; and
i. Elect a leader, allocate duties.

6.2 ALLOCATION OF DUTIES


A fully loaded life raft is cramped and uncomfortable.
a. Rotate duties;
b. Exercise, keep occupied and work as a team to minimize discomfort;
c. Allocation of duties should include lookouts with location aids, raft maintenance, maintaining
water devices and food procurement; and
d. Plan pyrotechnic operations to avoid damaging raft.

6.3 ESSENTIAL RULES FOR SEA SURVIVAL — IF SHORT OF WATER


a. Ration water to stay hydrated. Check color of urine, dehydration impairs performance and
does not decrease water consumption. Hold reliable water sources in reserve;
b. In hot areas wear clothes dampened during day and remain in shade. This will halve water
loss by minimizing sweating. Protect eyes and skin against sun. Do not exit raft to swim;
c. Fish should not be eaten if short of water, sun dry until rain provides sufficient water. Fish
that have an unusual shape, features or skin instead of scales should not be eaten;
d. Avoid seasickness. Use seasick tablets, seasickness will wear off;
e. Do not drink seawater, urine or the blood of sea birds.

6.4 KEEP RAFT DRY


Avoid immersion, foot and raft sores by regularly changing positions.

6.5 DISCOURAGE PREDATORS


a. Do not trail attractive items; and
b. Discard waste well away from raft at night.

6.6 TRAVEL
A small amount of control is possible by adjusting raft for wind or currents. Deploy sea anchor to
travel with the current or retrieve it to travel with the wind.

7 JUNGLE SURVIVAL
7.1 IMMEDIATE ACTION
a. Orientate and rendezvous with crew. (Stay fully clothed when moving in jungle.)
b. If wreckage is hidden, move to nearby clearing to assist SAR.
c. Activate ELT immediately.

7.2 ESSENTIAL RULES FOR JUNGLE SURVIVAL


a. Protection – water and food will be readily available in the jungle but location by SAR will be
difficult.
b. Set up location aids. Select sites to give location aids best possible ranges. Build fires with
smoke to penetrate canopy (refer to “Improvised Aids” in “Location” section).
c. Sterilize water and animal food. Boil water for 5 minutes or use sterilizing tablets. Discard
animal food that shows any sign of disease. Always cook animal food to kill parasites.
d. If food is not recognized as safe, apply an edibility test:
1. Discard stinging plants, fungi, plants with milky sap or with the smell of almonds or
peaches;
2. Discard food that irritates sensitive skin areas, such as inside of elbow, after 5 minutes;
3. Chew a teaspoon quantity and spit out, discard if reaction occurs in 5 minutes;
4. Eat a teaspoon quantity and discard if reaction occurs in 4 hours; and
5. Eat two teaspoon quantities — plant is safe if no reaction occurs in 4 hours.
e. Do not travel unless habitation seen nearby or search scaled down. Travel rate can be as
slow as 500 meters/hour. Creeks and ridgelines will give fastest travel. Leave messages at
crash site and camp and blaze trail if traveling.

7.3 SHELTERS
a. A shelter will be required in rain or if overnighting.
b. Two taut separated layers of parachute or natural thatching at 60° will provide a waterproof
shelter.
c. A single taut layer of parachute at 45° will provide a shower proof shelter.
d. Keep off the ground to avoid insects and parasites.

8 COLD WEATHER SURVIVAL


8.1 IMMEDIATE ACTION
a. Adjust clothing – protect hands and head.
b. Shelter from high winds. (Aircraft interior will provide windproof shelter but little thermal pro-
tection.)
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1756
AUSTRALIA
SURVIVAL

8.2 ESSENTIAL RULES FOR COLD WEATHER SURVIVAL


a. A drop in body core temperature will mentally affect the survivor, impairing work. The onset
is difficult to detect and shivering should be taken as the first warning that heat losses must
be minimized. Dressed only in flying clothing, survival chances are good, if a thermal wind-
proof shelter is constructed quickly.
b. Keep clothing dry. Heat loss from wet clothing is 20 times greater than dry:
c. Remove clothing before commencing work to avoid sweating;
1. Do not let snow melt on clothing;
2. Keep feet dry by preventing snow from entering boots;
3. Loosen clothing to trap air;
4. Use a windproof layer to stop windchill.
d. Construct a shelter. If rescue is delayed then the windproof shelter used in the immediate
action must be improved with insulation to provide thermal protection:
1. 25cm of snow will provide good insulation;
2. Rafts, sound proofing or branches will provide insulation from the ground;
3. A one man snow cave can be built in one hour;
4. In bad weather without a windbreaker an enclosed shelter is more useful than a fire.
e. Maintain location aids.
1. Keep battery-powered equipment warm;
2. The insulation of a snow shelter will prevent survivors hearing SAR aircraft. Windproof
ground signals should be constructed and kept free of snow.
f. Do not travel unless habitation seen nearby or search scaled down. Travel is strenuous and
as slow as 4km/day. Crevasses and avalanches are hazards in ice and mountainous coun-
try.

8.3 MEDICAL HAZARDS


When outdoors, work in pairs. Observe partner to detect onset of cold injuries.
a. Hypothermia (Lowering of body core temperature: Hypothermia can occur in above zero
temperatures. The symptoms are incoherence, slowing down, stumbling and weakness.
These symptoms may be mistaken for fatigue. To treat hypothermia protect casualty from
wind, change wet clothing for dry and use body warmth and insulation to warm.
b. Frostbite: The symptoms are tingling numbing sensation with waxy white appearance.
Gently rewarm areas using body heat if nothing else is available. If deep frostbite has occur-
red leave frozen until rescued.
c. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Ventilate shelters where a stove is used with two 6cm holes
in door and roof. Do not light fires inside enclosed shelters.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1757
AUSTRALIA
SURVIVAL

d. Snow Blindness: Prevent too much light entering eyes by using sunglasses or eyeshields.
Keep eyes covered to recover from snow blindness.
e. Dehydration: Cold will decrease thirst sensation. Check frequency and color of urine to
avoid unintentional dehydration. To maintain body core temperature drink warm water.

8.4 SHELTERS
The lean-to with fire and reflector will provide good protection in wooded temperate conditions. An
improvised igloo can be made by covering branches, rafts, etc., with a parachute and covering
with 25cm of snow, letting set and then removing the core. The A-Frame must be modified with
25cm of snow cover to provide thermal protection. The quickest shelter to build without a shovel is
the snow cave. Probe before building to check snow depth. Smooth walls to prevent dripping and
construct a cold sump. Stay dry when digging. A snow trench may be constructed with a saw in
hard snow.

TOTAL LOSS OF RADIO PROCEDURES WITHIN OCEANIC AIRSPACE


Procedures to be adopted when total loss of radio occurs while in-flight and within Australian
administered Oceanic airspace are as follows:
In the event of total loss of communication, an aircraft shall:
a. Try to re-establish communication by all other means;
b. If all attempts to re-establish communication with ATC are unsuccessful:
1. Squawk 7600;
2. If able, broadcast in the blind at suitable intervals: aircraft identification, flight level, air-
craft position (including the ATS route designator or the track code), and intentions on
the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF
inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
3. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to airborne collision avoid-
ance systems or traffic displays (if equipped);
4. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
5. Maintain the last assigned speed and level for a period of 60 minutes following the air-
craft’s failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point (including ADS-C
flights), and thereafter adjust speed and altitude in accordance with the filed flight plan;

ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

NOTE: In OCA, aircraft experiencing communication failure may also initiate strategic
lateral offset procedures (SLOP) in accordance with ATC, General Flight Procedures,
Operations in Oceanic Control Area, including an offset of up to 2 NM right of track.
6. Upon exiting OCA, conform to the relevant State procedures and regulations.
In the event of lost communication, ATC shall maintain separation between the aircraft having the
communication failure and other aircraft, based on the assumption that the aircraft having the
communication failure will operate in accordance with the procedures in the previous paragraph.

IF IN IMC OR UNCERTAIN OF MAINTAINING VMC


If no clearance limit received and acknowledged, proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route
clearance acknowledged and climb to planned level.
If a clearance limit involving an altitude or route restriction has been received and acknowledged:
a. maintain last assigned level, or minimum safe altitude if higher, for three (3) minutes, and/or
b. hold at nominated location for three (3) minutes, then
c. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged, and climb to plan-
ned level.
If receiving an ATS surveillance service:
a. climb to MSA/LSALT, and,
b. if being vectored, maintain last assigned vector for two (2) minutes, then
c. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged.
If holding:
a. fly one more complete holding pattern, then
b. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC clearance acknowledged.
NOTE 1: Initial and subsequent actions by the pilot at the time of loss of communications will
depend largely on the pilot’s knowledge of the destination instrument approaches, the air traffic/
airspace situation and meteorological conditions enroute and at the destination. Publishing proce-
dures that cover all radio failure circumstances is not possible. The above procedures ensure that
ATS and other traffic should be aware of the pilot’s most likely actions. Pilots should follow
these procedures unless strong reasons dictate otherwise.
NOTE 2: In determining the final level to which a pilot will climb after radio failure, ATC will use
the level provided on the flight notification, or the last level requested by the pilot and acknowl-
edged by ATC.

DESTINATION PROCEDURES
a. Track to the destination in accordance with flight plan (amended by the latest ATC clearance
acknowledged, if applicable).
b. Commence descent in accordance with standard operating procedures or flight plan.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1760

ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

c. Descend to the initial approach altitude for the most suitable instrument approach in accord-
ance with the published procedures.
d. Carry out the approach to the prescribed minima.
NOTE:
1. The most suitable approach is normally the approach that facilitates the most accurate track
keeping, however, if the pilot is in receipt of ATIS or directed information (e.g. voice modula-
ted navigation aid) that a specific approach is required, that approach should be used.
2. If an approach time has been given by ATC and acknowledged, adhere to this time.
3. When within 25 NM of the destination, the pilot may track direct to the IAF for the most suita-
ble approach.
4. At Sydney during Independent Visual Approaches
– In the event of a radio failure (or blocked FREQ) on the DIRECTOR FREQ, pilots must
comply with the following actions:
a. ON PILOT NAVIGATION (IF VISUAL)
SQUAWK 7600 immediately.
Track to intercept final at a MAX 30DEG prior to the IAF of the nominated RWY.
DO NOT PASS THROUGH FINAL FOR THE NOMINATED RWY.
b. ON A RADAR ASSIGNED HEADING
SQUAWK 7600.
Maintain assigned vector for no longer than 2 minutes. Track as required to join final
for the nominated RWY at a MAX 30DEG intercept to commence final.
DO NOT PASS THROUGH FINAL OF THE NOMINATED RWY.
– Pilots should attempt to contact the alternate DIRECTOR FREQ (126.1/125.3). Attempts
should also be made on the TWR FREQ.

ACTIONS AT MINIMA
a. If visual at the minima at an uncontrolled airport, continue to land provided that a safe land-
ing can be accomplished. If visual at the minima at a controlled airport continue to land provi-
ded that a clearance to land is received via a voice modulated NAVAID and/or light signal
from the Tower.
b. If not visual at the minima, depart for a suitable alternate airport.
c. If insufficient fuel is carried to divert to a suitable alternate, the pilot may hold or carry out
additional approaches until visual.

CONTINGENCY PLANS - PACIFIC

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR MANILA FIR


GENERAL
The contingency plan provides for the contingency arrangements to allow the continuance of
international flights to transit the Manila FIR during partial or total disruption in the normal Air Traf-
fic Control and Support Services provided by Philippine ATS.
This contingency plan does not address arrangements for aircraft arriving and departing at Philip-
pine airports.
As and where dictated by circumstances, aircraft planning to operate through Manila FIR that
have not yet departed may be temporarily suspended until a full assessment of the prevailing con-
ditions has been determined and sufficient air traffic services restored.
Long-haul international aircraft and special operations (e.g. Search and Rescue (SAR), State air-
craft, humanitarian flights, etc.), shall be afforded priority for levels at FL290 and above.
International operators may elect to avoid the Manila FIR to the east routing via Ujung Pandang,
Oakland and Fukuoka FIRs; to the west routing via Ujung Pandang, Kota Kinabalu, Singapore,
Ho Chi Minh to Hong Kong and Taipei FIRs. The contingency routes to be used in this scenario
will be provided by the ATS authorities concerned.

REDUCED ATS AND PROVISION OF FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICES (FIS)


During the contingency critical period, ATS including ATC services may not be available, particu-
larly with regard to availability of communications and radar services. In cases where service is
not available, a NOTAM will be issued providing the relevant information. The contingency plan
provides for limited flight information and alerting services to be provided by adjacent ACCs.
FIS and flight monitoring will be provided by the designated ATS authorities for the adjacent FIRs
on the contingency routes that enter their respective FIRs.
During the early stages of a contingency event, ATC may be overloaded and tactical action may
be taken to reroute aircraft on alternative routes not included in this plan.
In the event that ATS cannot be provided in the Manila FIR, a NOTAM shall be issued indicating

AIRCRAFT SEPARATION
The longitudinal separation/spacing will be fifteen (15) minutes. However, this may be reduced to
ten (10) minutes in conjunction with the application of the Mach Number Technique (MNT).

AIRCRAFT POSITION REPORTING


Beyond VHF coverage, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) shall replace any
requirement for voice position reporting to ATC for suitably equipped aircraft and in this case Con-
troller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) or HF will be the secondary means of communi-
cation. When CPDLC has been authorized for use by the relevant ATC authority, this will become
the primary means of communication while HF will act as the secondary means of communica-
tion.

PILOTS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES


Flight Planning
Flight planning requirements continue to apply during contingency operations, except where
modified by the contingency ATS routes and FLAS specified by ATC and/or in NOTAM.
For aircraft intending to operate in areas during periods when the Contingency Plan is activated,
the operators shall plan the flight to conform to the requirements of the Contingency Plan.
Overflight Approval
Airspace users must obtain overflight approval from CAAP prior to operating aircraft through the
Manila FIR.
Pilot Operating Procedures
Pilot of an aircraft operating in the Manila FIR during contingency operations shall comply with the
following procedures:
a. all aircraft proceeding along the ATS routes established in this Contingency Plan will comply
with the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and will be assigned a flight level in accordance with
the FLAS applicable to the route(s) being flown as specified in CONTINGENCY ATS ROUTE
NETWORK below;
b. flights are to file flight plan using the Contingency Routes specified in CONTINGENCY ATS
ROUTE NETWORK, according to their airport of origin and destination;
c. pilots are to keep a continuous watch on the specified contingency frequency as specified in
CONTINGENCY ATS ROUTE NETWORK and transmit in English the position information
and estimates in line with normal ATC position reporting procedures;
d. pilots are to maintain during their entire flight time within Manila FIR, the flight level last
assigned by the last ACC responsible prior to the aircraft entering the Manila FIR, and under
no circumstances change this level and Mach number, except in cases of emergency and for
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1765
PACIFIC
CONTINGENCY PLANS - PACIFIC

flight safety reasons. In addition, the last SSR transponder assigned shall be maintained or,
if no transponder has been assigned, transmit on SSR code 2000;
e. aircraft are to reach the flight level last assigned by the responsible ACC at least ten (10)
minutes before entering the Manila FIR;
f. pilots are to include in their last position report prior to entering the Manila FIR, the estimates
over the entry point, the OCA agreed TCP and the ETA at the exit point;
g. pilots should establish communication with the next ATC facility at least ten (10) minutes
prior to the OCA agreed TCP;
h. (please refer to AIP Doc EMERG procedure) whenever emergencies and/or flight safety rea-
sons make it impossible to maintain the flight level assigned for transit of Manila FIR, pilots
are to climb or descend well to the right of the center line of the contingency route, and if
deviating outside the Manila FIR, to inform immediately the ACC responsible for that air-
space. Pilots are to make blind broadcast on 121.5 MHz of the relevant emergency level
change message (comprising the aircraft call sign, the aircraft position, the flight levels being
vacated and crossed, etc); and
i. not all operational circumstances can be addressed by this Contingency Plan and pilots are
to maintain a high level of alertness when operating in the contingency airspace and take
appropriate action to ensure safety of flight.
Interception of Civil Aircraft
Aircraft operators must be familiar with international intercept procedures contained in ICAO
Annex 2 — Rules of the Air, Chapter 3, paragraph 3.8 and Appendix 2, sections 2 and 3.
Pilots are to comply with instructions given by the pilot of the intercepting aircraft. In such circum-
stances, the pilot of the aircraft being intercepted shall broadcast information on the situation.
If circumstances leading to the closure of the Manila FIR where no contingency routes are availa-
ble, aircraft will be required to keep clear of Manila FIR. As much warning as possible will be pro-
vided by the appropriate ATS authorities in the event of the complete closure of airspace.
Pilots shall continuously guard the VHF emergency frequency 121.5 MHz and shall operate their
transponder at all times during flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside air-
space where Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) is used for ATS purposes. Transponders
should be set on the last discrete code assigned by ATC or select Code 2000 if no code was
assigned.

COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
Degradation of Communication — Pilot Radio Procedures
When operating within the contingency airspace of the Manila FIR, pilots should use normal radio
communication procedures where ATS services are available. These will be in accordance with
the communication procedures in this plan or as otherwise notified by NOTAM.
If communications are lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, pilots shall try the next
applicable frequency; e.g. if enroute contact is lost then try the next appropriate frequency, that is,
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1766
PACIFIC
CONTINGENCY PLANS - PACIFIC

the next normal handover frequency. Pilots should also consider attempting to contact ATC on the
last frequency where two-way communication had been established. In the absence of communi-
cation with ATC, the pilot shall continue to make routine position reports on the assigned fre-
quency, and also broadcast positions on the specified contingency frequency.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES FOR


OCEANIC AIRSPACE OF THE MANILA FIR
GENERAL
The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended
as guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases
of inability to maintain assigned level due to:
a. weather;
b. aircraft performance;
c. pressurization failure; and
d. problems associated with high-level supersonic flight.
The procedures are applicable primarily when rapid descent and/or turn-back or diversion to an
alternate airport is required. The pilot’s judgment shall determine the sequence of actions to be
taken, taking into account specific circumstances.
If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clearance
shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a distress or urgency
signal as appropriate.
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. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
aircraft identification, flight level, aircraft position, (including the ATS route designator or the
track code) and intentions on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or,
as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped); and
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT REQUIRING RAPID


DESCENT, AND/OR TURN-BACK OR DIVERSION TO AN ALTERNATE AIRPORT
DUE TO AIRCRAFT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION OR OTHER CONTINGENCIES
Initial Action
If unable to comply with the provisions under a. above to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the air-
craft should leave its assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees to the right or left whenever
this is possible. The direction of the turn, where possible, be determined by the position of the air-
craft relative to any organized route or track system; e.g. whether the aircraft is outside, at the
edge of, or within the system. Other factors to consider are the direction to the alternate airport,
terrain clearance and the levels allocated to adjacent routes or tracks.

Subsequent Action (RVSM Airspace)


Aircraft Able to Maintain Level
In RVSM airspace, an aircraft able to maintain its assigned flight level should turn to acquire and
maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 46km (25 NM) from its assigned route or
track in multi-track system spaced at 93km (50 NM) or otherwise, at a distance which is the mid-
point from the adjacent parallel route or track, and;
a. if above FL410, climb or descend 300m (1000 ft); or
b. if below FL410, climb or descend 150m (500 ft); or
c. if at FL410, climb 300m (1000 ft) or descend 150m (500 ft).
Aircraft Unable to Maintain Level
An aircraft that is unable to maintain its assigned flight level should:
a. initially minimize its rate of descent to the extent that it is operationally feasible;
b. turn while descending to acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated
by 46km (25 NM) from its assigned route or track in a multi-track system spaced at 93km
(50 NM) or otherwise, at a distance which is the mid-point from the adjacent parallel route or
track; and
c. for the subsequent flight level, select a level which differs from those normally used by 300m
(1000 ft) if above FL410, or by 150m (500 ft) if below FL410.
Subsequent Action (non-RVSM Airspace)
Aircraft Able to Maintain Level
In non-RVSM airspace, an aircraft able to maintain its assigned flight level should turn to acquire
and maintain either direction a track laterally separated by 46km (25 NM) from its assigned route
or track in a multi-track system spaced at 93km (50 NM) or otherwise, at a distance which is the
midpoint from the adjacent parallel route or track, and:
a. if above FL290, climb or descend 300m (1000 ft); or
b. if below FL290, climb or descend 150m (500 ft); or
c. if at FL290, climb 300m (1000 ft) or descend 150m (500 ft).
Aircraft Unable to Maintain Level
An aircraft that is unable to maintain its assigned level should:
a. initially minimize its rate of descent to the extent that it is operationally feasible;
b. turn while descending and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 46km
(25 NM) from its assigned route or track in a multi-track system spaced at 93km (50 NM) or
otherwise, at a distance which is the mid-point from the adjacent parallel route or track; and
c. for the subsequent flight level, select a level which differs from those normally used by 300m

PACIFIC
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES - PACIFIC

Diversion Across the Flow of Adjacent Traffic


Before diverting across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should climb above FL410 or
descend below FL280 using the procedures specified in above. However if the pilot is unable or
unwilling to carry out a major climb or descent, the aircraft should be flown at a level defined in
Aircraft Able to Maintain Level or Aircraft Unable to Maintain Level until a revised ATC clearance
is obtained.
Extended Range Operations by Airplanes with Two-Turbine Power-Units (ETOPS) Aircraft
If these contingency procedures are employed by a twin-engine aircraft as a result of an engine
shutdown or a failure of an ETOPS critical system, the pilot should advise ATC as soon as practi-
cable of the situation, reminding ATC of the type of aircraft involved and request expeditious han-
dling.

WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES FOR OCEANIC-CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


All possible circumstances cannot be covered. The pilot’s judgment shall ultimately determine the
sequence of actions taken and ATC shall render all possible assistance.
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather and prior clearance cannot be
obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time. Until an ATC clear-
ance is received, the aircraft shall follow the procedures detailed in Actions to be Taken if a
Revised ATC Clearance Cannot be Obtained.
The pilot shall advise ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather devi-
ation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to the centerline of its cleared route.
Obtaining Priority from ATC When Weather Deviation is Required
When the pilot initiates communications with ATC, rapid response may be obtained by stating
“WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the frequency and for
ATC response.
The pilot still retains the option of initiating the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) to alert all listening parties to a special handling condition, which
will receive ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance.
Actions to be Taken if Pilot-Controller Communications are Established
Pilot notifies ATC and requests clearance to deviate from track, advising, when possible, the
extent of the deviation expected.
The pilot will take the following actions:
a. advise ATC of intentions by the most expeditious means available; and
b. comply with ATC clearance issued; or
c. execute the procedures detailed in Actions to be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot
be Obtained (ATC will issue essential traffic information to all affected aircraft); and
d. if necessary, establish voice communications with ATC to expedite dialogue on the situation.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1770
PACIFIC
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES - PACIFIC

Actions to be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot be Obtained


If a revised ATC clearance cannot be obtained and deviation from track is required to avoid
weather, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
aircraft identification, flight level, aircraft position (including the ATS route designator or the
track code), and intentions (including the magnitude of the deviation expected) on the fre-
quency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-
to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under b. and c. above, the pilot determines that there is
another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then the pilot
is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. for deviations of less than 19km (10 NM), aircraft should remain at the level assigned by
ATC;
f. for deviations of greater than 19km (10 NM), when the aircraft is approximately 19km
(10 NM) from track initiate a level change based on the criteria in table below.
g. when returning to track, be at its assigned level, when the aircraft is within approximately
19km (10 NM) of centerline; and
h. if contact was not established prior to deviating continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information.

TOTAL RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE PROCEDURES


If total radio communication failure occurs in VMC during daylight hours, the pilot shall continue to
fly in VMC and land at the most suitable aerodrome. If it occurs in VMC during the hours of dark-
ness (between sunset and sunrise) action shall be taken in accordance below:
– If total radio communication failure occurs in IMC, ATC action is based on the assumption that
the aircraft will continue to its destination and if unable to land, will proceed to its nominated
alternate. Separation standards will be increased and airspace reserved accordingly.
– In IMC, or if unable to maintain VFR, the pilot shall either leave or avoid controlled airspace and
areas of dense traffic and establish VFR operation or, alternatively, shall:
a. Proceed according to the current flight plan, at the last assigned flight level, to the
clearance limit and thereafter at the flight plan level.
b. Arrive at the destination as close as possible to ETA.
c. Commence descent as close as possible to EAT (or ETA if no EAT has been acknowl-
edged).
d. If unable to land within 30 minutes of the time descent should have started (i.e. EAT or
ETA if no EAT has been acknowledged), proceed to cross fix Holding Area at 4000 ft then
via R461 at FL170 if Kuala Lumpur is the nominated alternate or via W12 at FL210 if
Pekanbaru is the nominated alternate or via G468 at FL150 if Penang is the nominated
alternate or via N563 at FL230 if Singapore is the nominated alternate otherwise proceed
at the planned flight level to other nominated alternate.
NOTE 1: Aircraft are to follow the established radio failure procedures as laid down by the
respective airports.
NOTE 2: During this 30 minutes period ATC will reserve the airspace at the aircraft’s flight level
and below. At the expiry of this period with the concurrence of other users normal operations
will resume.
In all cases, the pilot shall contact ATC as soon as possible after landing.

RADIO FAILURE — TRANSPONDER — EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT


Aircraft equipped with transponder shall set transponder to Mode A/C Code 7600.
Partial Radio Failure
a. Aircraft Unable to Receive
Pilots shall adopt the complete RTF failure procedures specified above.
b. Aircraft Able to Receive
Following verification that aircraft is able to receive ground transmissions, ATC will continue
to issue instructions and/or clearance to pilots. Such instructions and clearances will be
repeated.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES — KUALANAMU AIRPORT — DEPARTURES (MEDIUM


AND HEAVY AIRCRAFT)
When an aircraft, which has been cleared by ATC, has departed on Rwy 05/23, the pilot shall pro-
ceed according to the following procedures.
a. Rwy 05
1. Proceed to AMASE, maintain 6000 ft and set squawk A7600 for dumping fuel;
2. After fuel dumping, proceed to POPAX descend 3000 ft for an instrument approach on
Rwy 05. Identify the runway-in-use in accordance with the procedures in the paragraph
above;
3. ATC action is based on the assumption that the aircraft will take a minimum of 10 min to
dump fuel. An aircraft therefore should not leave earlier than 10 min after arrival at
AMASE Holding Area even if fuel dump is completed at a shorter time or if dumping is
not necessary or possible unless circumstances require an immediate return.
b. Rwy 23
1. Proceed to AMASE, maintain 6000 ft and set squawk A7600 for dumping fuel;
2. After dumping fuel, proceed to HORAS descend 3000 ft for an instrument approach on
Rwy 23. Identify the runway-in-use in accordance with the procedures in the paragraph
above;
3. ATC action is based on the assumption that the aircraft will take a minimum of 10 min to
dump fuel. An aircraft therefore should not leave earlier than 10 min after arrival at
AMASE Holding Area even if fuel dump is completed at a shorter time or if dumping is
not necessary or possible unless circumstances require an immediate return.

PROCEDURES FOR AN AIRCRAFT REQUIRING SAR ESCORT
If the pilot-in-command of an aircraft, while flying over water or a sparsely inhabited area, has any
reason to believe that the operating efficiency of the aircraft is impaired, the appropriate ATS unit
should be notified so that the RCC is forewarned should the position deteriorate. If, at this stage
or later, the pilot-in-command considers it advisable, interception and escort by a search and
rescue aircraft may be requested.
Disparity in speeds and normal altitudes between some aircraft and SAR aircraft may not permit
continuous escort in the accepted sense. The SAR aircraft may turn back along the intended track
of the aircraft requiring escort before the interception, so that the latter is catching up with the
former. It is most important that radiotelephony (RTF) contact is established between the two air-
craft as early as possible and maintained throughout the operation.

COMMUNICATIONS
The carriage of an emergency location transmitter (ELT) is mandatory within Kiribati. For this
reason, in accordance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, aircraft are required to
continuously guard the international emergency frequency 121.5 MHz. This requirement does not
apply when aircraft are carrying out communications on other VHF channels, or when airborne
equipment limitations or cockpit duties do not permit simultaneously guarding two or more chan-
nels.
The frequency 121.5 MHz is guarded continuously during the hours of service at all area control
centers and flight information centers. It is also available at the Marine Guard, RCC for Kiribati, in
Betio. In addition, the airport control towers serving international airports and international alter-
nate airports will, on request, guard the frequency 121.5 MHz.
The frequency 121.5 MHz is guarded continuously by the Nadi ACC and by Port Vila/Bauerfield
ATS during promulgated hours of service.

UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command should attempt
to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification
to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within radar coverage.
When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track
or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the
pilot-in-command should, whenever possible:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1783
KIRIBATI
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

a. attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate fre-
quencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such
as on-board transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do
so and circumstances permit; and
b. proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where
such procedures have been established and promulgated in ICAO Doc 7030 — Regional
Supplementary Procedures; or
c. if no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs
from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 300m (1000 ft) if above
FL290 or by 150m (500 ft) if below FL290.

SEARCH AND RESCUE


Small craft in distress are advised to display an orange/red sheet bearing a black letter “V” which
has the meaning — I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. Pilots observing such a signal displayed in a
prominent position on a small craft should interpret it as a distress signal and act accordingly.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE WHILE UNDER SURVEILLANCE CONTROL


If two-way communication is lost with a surveillance-controlled aircraft, ATC will ascertain whether
the aircraft’s receiver is working by transmitting on appropriate frequencies a request that the
pilot-in-command acknowledges ATC transmissions by:
a. squawking “ident”;
b. changing SSR code;
c. squawking “standby” for a specified period of time and then squawking an appropriate code;
or
d. executing a specified turn.
If communication is established by the above manner, the pilot-in-command will be requested to
acknowledge clearances or instructions or to respond to questions by using the transponder or by
executing specified turns.
If communication is lost with an aircraft being vectored, the pilot-in-command shall maintain the
last assigned heading and altitude for one minute. In IMC, if the altitude is below the MSA, the
pilot shall climb to the MSA and proceed by the most direct path to the holding point associated
with the runway in use and carry out the standard radio failure procedure.

e. When making use of the two patterns, aircraft should fly at best endurance speed and alti-
tude and, to assist intercepting aircraft, remain in VMC if possible.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES


The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended
for guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1790
NAURU
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

such as inability to maintain assigned level due to weather, aircraft performance or pressurization
failure. The are applicable primarily when rapid descent, turnback, or both are required. The
pilot’s judgement shall determine the sequence of actions taken, having regard to the specific cir-
cumstances.
General Procedures
If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with the ATC clearance, a revised clear-
ance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using distress or urgency
signal as appropriate.
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. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
flight identification, flight level, aircraft position, (including the ATS route designator or the
track code) and intentions on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or,
as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot-air-to-air frequency 123.45);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped); and
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).
Special Procedures
INITIAL ACTION
– If unable to comply with the provisions of General Procedures the aircraft should leave its
assigned route or tack by turning 90° to the right or left whenever this is possible. The direction
of turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to any organized route or
track system, e.g. whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of, or within the system. Other
factors to consider are terrain clearance and the levels allocated to adjacent routes or tracks.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
– An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should acquire and maintain in either direction a
track laterally separated by 25 NM from its assigned route or track and once established on the
offset track, climb or descend 500 ft (150 m).
An aircraft not able to maintain its assigned level should, whenever possible, minimize its rate
of descent while turning to acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by
25 NM from its assigned route or track. For subsequent level flight, a level should be selected
which differs by 500 ft (150 m) from those normally used.
DIVERSION ACROSS THE FLOW OF ADJACENT TRAFFIC
– Before commencing a diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should, while
maintaining the 25 NM offset, expedite climb above or descent below levels where the majority
of Pacific oceanic traffic operate (e.g. to a level above FL 400 or below FL 290) and then main-
tain a level which differs by 500 ft (150 m) from those normally used. However, if the pilot is
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1791
NAURU
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

unable or unwilling to carry out a major climb or descent, the aircraft should be flown at a level
500 ft (150 m) above or below levels normally used until a new ATC clearance is obtained.
EXTENDED RANGE OPERATIONS BY TWO-TURBINE POWER UNITS (ETOPS) AIRCRAFT
– If these contingency procedures are employed by a twin engine aircraft as a result of an engine
shutdown or a 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 requesting expe-
ditious handling.

UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
The pilot in command of an aircraft which is being subjected to unlawful interference or threat of
unlawful interference should endeavour to inform an ATS unit of the fact, together with details of
any consequent deviation from the current flight plan and other significant factors affecting the
operation, to enable the ground station to give priority to the aircraft and to alert organizations
likely to be involved.
Whenever circumstances permit, the pilot should transmit in plain language, as fully as possible to
the ATS units concerned, the nature and details of the interference.
In addition to the action set out above or where that action is not possible due to the circumstan-
ces, a pilot able to do so should activate the aircraft Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) trans-
ponder on Mode A Code 7500 to indicate specifically that it is being subjected to unlawful interfer-
ence.
Pilots of aircraft no equipped with SSR and/or aircraft flying in an area where the availability of
ground based SSR is non-existent or unknown, in circumstances where they are under such
threat that they do not have unrestricted use of the aircraft radio, may, if it is safe and practical to
do so, insert in any RTF transmissions the words “CHANNEL SEVEN FIVE HUNDRED” after the
aircraft’s call sign, to indicate specifically that it is being subjected to unlawful interference.

SEARCH AND RESCUE


To aid aircraft in detecting small craft in distress, such craft are advised to carry a 1.8m x 1.2m, or
larger, fluorescent sheet for use in an emergency. These sheets should be colored orange/red
and bear a black letter “V” not less than 750mm high.
Although use of these sheets is not yet accepted internationally, the letter “V” in the international
code has the meaning “I require assistance”. Therefore, pilots observing such a signal displayed
in a prominent position on a small craft should interpret it as a distress signal and act accordingly.

ing VMC:
a. remain in VMC; and
b. continue the flight under VFR; and
c. proceed to a suitable airport and land; and
d. report arrival by the most expeditious means to the appropriate ATS unit.

IFR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE — IMC OR UNCERTAIN OF MAINTAINING VMC


The initial and subsequent actions of the pilot of an aircraft in IMC or uncertain of being able to
maintain VMC will depend on the latest information available on the:
a. destination aids;
b. air traffic/airspace procedures; and
c. meteorological conditions enroute and at the destination.
The provision of ATC to other flights will be based on the assumption that the pilot of an aircraft
with communications difficulties will, unless strong reasons dictate otherwise, follow the appropri-
ate procedures specified in the following paragraphs.
The pilot should proceed in accordance with the current flight plan as confirmed by the last
acknowledged ATC clearance. ATC will assume that the aircraft will climb to the:
a. flight planned level; or
b. last level requested by the pilot and acknowledged by ATC.
Departure — Level Restriction
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure on departure should:

SAMOA
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

GENERAL
In general, the Emergency, Unlawful Interference, Communications Failure, Interception and
Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the Standards, Recommended Practices
and Procedures contained in ICAO Annexes and Documents.
Search and rescue operations in Samoa are divided into three classes as follows:
a. Class I and Class II — Limited operations controlled by Samoa Police using Police and some
local resources.
b. Class III — Controlled by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) in Wellington, New Zea-
land using all necessary available military and civil resources. Telephone: 64 4 914 8380
The carriage of an emergency location transmitter (ELT) is mandatory within Samoa. For this
reason, in accordance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, aircraft are required to
continuously guard the international emergency frequency 121.5 MHz. This requirement does not
apply when aircraft are carrying out communications on other VHF channels, or when airborne
equipment limitations or cockpit duties do not permit simultaneous guarding of two or more chan-
nels.

EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES FOR AN AIRCRAFT REQUIRING SAR ESCORT
If the pilot-in-command of an aircraft, while flying over water or a sparsely inhabited area, has any
reason to believe that the operating efficiency of the aircraft is impaired, the appropriate Air Traffic
Services unit should be notified so that the RCC is forewarned should the position deteriorate. If,
at this stage or later, the pilot-in-command considers it advisable, interception and escort by a
search and rescue aircraft may be requested.
Disparity in speeds and normal altitudes between some aircraft and SAR aircraft may not permit
continuous escort in the accepted sense. The SAR aircraft may turn back along the intended track
of the aircraft requiring escort before the interception, so that the latter is catching up with the
former. It is most important that radiotelephony (RTF) contact is established between the two air-
craft as early as possible and maintained throughout the operation.

UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command should attempt
to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification
to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within radar coverage.
When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track
or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the
pilot-in-command should, whenever possible: attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emer-
gency frequency and other appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dic-
tate otherwise. Other equipment such as onboard transponder, data links, etc. should also be
used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and if no applicable regional
procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels nor-
mally used for IFR flight in the area by 1000 ft above FL290 or 500 ft if below FL290.

PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES


General Procedures
The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended
for guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases
of inability to maintain assigned level due to weather, aircraft performance, pressurization failure
and problems associated with high-level supersonic flight. They are applicable primarily when
rapid descent and/or turn-back or diversion to an alternate airport are required. The pilot’s judge-
ment shall determine the sequence of actions taken, taking into account specific circumstances.
If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its air traffic control clearance, a
revised clearance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a dis-
tress or urgency signal, as appropriate.
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. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
flight identification, flight level, aircraft position, (including the ATS route designator or the
track code) and intentions on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency 121.5 MHz (or,
as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped); and
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).
Special Procedure for Subsonic Aircraft Requiring Rapid Descent and/or Turn-back or
Diversion to an Alternate Airport Due to Aircraft System Malfunction or Other
Contingencies
Initial Action
If unable to comply with the provisions to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the aircraft should
leave its assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left whenever this is possible. The
direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to any organized
route or track system, e.g. whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of, or within the system.
Other factors to consider are terrain clearance and the levels allocated to adjacent routes or
tracks.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1807
TUVALU
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Subsequent Action
AIRCRAFT ABLE TO MAINTAIN LEVEL. An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should
acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 25 NM from its assigned
route or track and once established on the offset track, climb or descend 500 ft (150m).
AIRCRAFT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LEVEL. An aircraft NOT able to maintain its assigned level
should, whenever possible, minimize its rate of descent while turning to acquire and maintain in
either direction a track laterally separated by 25 NM from its assigned route or track. For subse-
quent level flight, a level should be selected which differs by 500 ft (150m) from those normally
used.

UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
Aircraft not equipped with secondary surveillance radar (SSR) and/or aircraft flying in an area
where the availability of ground based SSR is non-existent or unknown, and the crew does not
have unrestricted use of the aircraft radio, may, if it is safe and practical to do so, insert in any
RTF transmissions the words “CHANNEL SEVEN FIVE HUNDRED” after the aircraft’s call sign to
indicate specifically that it is being subjected to unlawful interference.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
SPEECHLESS TECHNIQUE USING UNMODULATED TRANSMISSIONS
When a pilot is able to communicate only by an unmodulated transmission (e.g., when the trans-
mitter is operative but the microphone unserviceable) the following technique will be employed by
ATS.
When an unmodulated transmission is received, the ATS operator will request the pilot to activate
the transmitter three times. Once the pilot complies the ATS operator will frame questions requir-
ing a “YES” or “NO” answer to ascertain if the aircraft:
a. can continue visually;
b. can execute an instrument approach; or
c. has reached a nominate position.
The above and any other information required will be obtained by requiring the pilot to use the
following code:
“YES” or “ROGER” — activate transmitter once
“NO” — activate transmitter twice
“SAY AGAIN” — activate transmitter three times
“AT NOMINATED POSITION” — activate transmitter four times
When it is established that the aircraft can receive, control may be exercised in the normal
manner except that frequency changes will not be requested unless there is no alternative.

EMERGENCY
A pilot in any distress or urgency condition should climb, if possible, for improved communica-
tions, and better radar and direction finding detection. However, it must be understood that unau-
thorized climb or descent under IFR conditions within controlled airspace is prohibited, except as
permitted by FAR 91.3(b) (in an emergency the pilot-in-command may deviate from any rule to
the extent required to meet that emergency).

INTERCEPT AND ESCORT


If specifically requested by a pilot in difficulty or if a distress condition is declared, Search and
Rescue (SAR) coordinators will take steps to intercept and escort an aircraft. Steps may be initi-
ated for intercept and escort if an urgency condition is declared and unusual circumstances make
such action advisable.
It is the pilot’s prerogative to refuse intercept and escort service. Escort services will normally be
provided to the nearest adequate airport. Should the pilot receiving escort services continue on to
another location after reaching a safe airport, or decide not to divert to the nearest safe airport,
the escort aircraft is not obligated to continue and further escort is discretionary. The decision will
depend on the circumstances of the individual incident.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1810
US PAC TERRITORIES
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

MINIMUM FUEL ADVISORY


Be aware that this is not an emergency situation but merely an advisory that indicates an emer-
gency situation is possible should any undue delay occur.
Advise ATC of “minimum fuel” status when fuel supply has reached a state where, upon reaching
destination, any undue delay is not acceptable.
A minimum fuel advisory does not imply a need for traffic priority. If the remaining usable fuel
supply suggests the need for traffic priority to ensure a safe landing, declare an emergency,
account low fuel, and report the fuel remaining in minutes.

UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
SPECIAL EMERGENCIES (AIR PIRACY)
A special emergency is a condition of air piracy, or other hostile act by person(s) aboard an air-
craft, which threatens the safety of the aircraft or its passengers.
The pilot of an aircraft reporting a special emergency condition should:
a. If circumstances permit, apply distress or urgency radio-telephony procedures. Include the
details of the special emergency.
b. If circumstances do not permit the use of prescribed distress or urgency procedures, transmit
on the air-ground frequency in use at the time as many as possible of the following elements
spoken distinctly and in the following order:
1. Name of the station addressed (time and circumstances permitting);
2. The identification of the aircraft and present position;
3. The nature of the special emergency condition and pilot intentions (circumstances per-
mitting);
4. If unable to provide this information, use code words and/or transponder as follows:
– Spoken Words — “TRANSPONDER SEVEN FIVE ZERO ZERO”. Meaning — ”Am
being hijacked/forced to a new destination”;
– Transponder Setting — Mode 3/A, Code 7500.
If it is possible to do so without jeopardizing the safety of the flight, the pilot of a hijacked passen-
ger aircraft, after departing from the cleared routing over which the aircraft was operating, will
attempt to do one or more of the following, insofar as circumstances may permit:
a. Maintain a true airspeed of no more than 400 kt, and preferably an altitude between 10,000'
and 25,000'.
b. Fly a course toward the destination which the hijacker has announced.
If these procedures result in either radio contact or an air intercept, the pilot will attempt to comply
with any instructions received which may direct him to an appropriate landing field.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA) AND


RELATED OPERATING PROCEDURES
Special procedures have been developed for pilot use in active contingency zones if communica-
tions are significantly degraded or unavailable. These TIBA procedures supersede and take the
place of lost communication procedures that are outlined in Annex 2 to the Chicago Convention
and PANS-ATM (DOC 4444) and will enable traffic information broadcasts by aircraft (TIBA) to be
made as well as providing collision hazard information. When aircraft will enter designated air-
space in which it is known in advance that normal communication is not available, pilots should
maintain a listening watch on the TIBA frequency 10 minutes prior to entering that airspace until
leaving the airspace.
When a loss of normal communications requires TIBA procedures to be implemented, pilots shall
make broadcasts in English on 128.95 MHz.
Pilots shall operate aircraft transponders on Mode A and C at all time. In the absence of alterna-
tive instructions from the appropriate ATS unit, aircraft not assigned a discrete code should
squawk code 3300.
Unless otherwise directed by an appropriate authority, pilots should operate TCAS in TA/RA
Mode at maximum range setting during the cruise phase of flight and at a range setting appropri-
ate to the traffic situation when in the departure or terminal phases of flight.

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR INDONESIA FIRS


The Jakarta ATM Contingency Plan and Ujung Pandang ATM Contingency Plan contain arrange-
ments to ensure the continued safety of air navigation in the event of partial or total disruption of
air traffic services in the Jakarta FIR or Ujung Pandang FIR. The Contingency Plan provides the
ATS procedures and contingency route structure using existing airways in most cases that will
allow for domestic flight operations within the jurisdiction of the Jakarta FIR or Ujung Pandang
FIR.

JAKARTA FIR
In the event of disruption of the ATC services provided by Jakarta ACC, airspace is delegated to
all ATS units (under jurisdiction of Jakarta ACC) and Ujung Pandang FIC will be introduced to
ensure safety of flight and to facilitate flight operations of domestic flight commensurate with the
prevailing conditions.
All TMAs under jurisdiction of Jakarta ACC will be raised vertically up to FL280.
Ujung Pandang FIC, which is undertaking Jakarta FIR, has a responsibility for flight information
service to all aircraft up to FL280.

UJUNG PANDANG FIR


In the event of disruption of the ATC services provided by Ujung Pandang ACC, airspace is dele-
gated to all ATS units (under jurisdiction of Ujung Pandang ACC) and Jakarta FIC will be intro-
duced to ensure safety of flight and to facilitate flight operations of Domestic flight commensurate
with the prevailing conditions.
All TMAs under jurisdiction of Ujung Pandang ACC will be raised vertically up to FL280.
Jakarta FIC which is undertaking the Ujung Pandang FIR has a responsibility for flight information
to all aircraft up to FL280.

During the early stages of a contingency event, ATC may be overloaded and tactical action taken
to reroute aircraft on alternative routes not included in this plan.
In the event that ATS cannot be provided in the Jakarta FIR or Ujung Pandang FIR, a NOTAM or
relevant information shall be issued indicating the following:
a. time and date of the beginning of the contingency measures;
b. details of the facilities and services available or not available and any limits on ATS provision
(e.g, ACC, APP, TWR and FIC), including an expected date of restoration of services if avail-
able;
c. information on the provisions made for alternative services;
d. applicable ATS routes, AIP-published contingency routes, or tactically defined contingency
routes (if any);
e. any special procedures to be followed by pilots; and
f. any other details with respect to the disruption and actions being taken that aircraft operators
may find useful.
Aircraft Separation
Aircraft separation criteria will be applied in accordance with the standard separation of each TMA
concerned.
Flight Level Restrictions
Where possible, special operations (e.g. SAR flights, state aircraft, humanitarian flights, etc) shall
be given priority with respect to cruising levels.

Airspace Classification
If ATC services become unavailable during the interruption of ATS, and depending on the level of
service and anticipated outage of facilities, airspace classifications may be changed to reflect the
reduced level of services. Changes to airspace classification will be notified by NOTAM or rele-
vant information.
Aircraft Position Reporting
Pilots will continue to make routine position reports in line with normal ATC reporting procedures.

PILOTS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES


Flight Planning
For aircraft intending to operate in areas during periods when the contingency plans are activated,
the operators shall plan the flight to conform to the activation times of the Contingency Plans, Air-
line operators shall ensure that flights are established on contingency routes prior to entering an
area which is under Contingency Plan procedure.
The flight planning requirements during the contingency period will be in accordance to ICAO
Annex 2 Rules of The Air, Doc 4444 Air Traffic Management and CASR Part 170 Air Traffic Serv-
ices. Additional information, will, however, be required, to indicate that the flight will operate in air-
space where the contingency plan is active. This information is to be indicated in the ‘RMK/’ field
of Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan, for example ‘RMK/Contingency routes WIII/WADD’ or WAAA/
WICC in the event that Jakarta ACC has taken over the air traffic services for Ujung Pandang
ACC or (Remarks/aircraft will be operating on contingency routes in the Jakarta FIR) and for
example ‘RMK/Contingency routes WIII/WADD’ or WAAA/WICC in the event that Ujung Pandang
ACC has taken over the air traffic services for Jakarta ACC. (Remarks/aircraft will be operating on
contingency routes in the Jakarta and Ujung Pandang FIR).
Repetitive Flight Plans (RPLs/Bulk Stored) will not be accepted during the time that the contin-
gency plan is activated. Airline operators are required to file flight plans in accordance with the
contingency flight planning procedures. Flight plans should be filed at least 12 hours in advance in
order to allow sufficient time for manual processing.
Interception of Civil Aircraft
The Indonesian Air Force may intercept civil aircraft over the territory of Indonesia in the event
that a flight may not to be known to and identified by the Indonesian Air Force. In such cases, the
ICAO intercept procedures contained in Annex 11 – Air Traffic Services, Attachment C (repro-
duced in Appendix 2F), Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 170 – Air Traffic Services,
will be followed by the military authority, and pilots shall comply with instructions given by the pilot
of the interceptor aircraft. In such circumstances, the pilot of the aircraft being intercepted shall
broadcast information on the situation.
Pilots need to continuously guard the VHF emergency frequency 121.5 MHz and should operate
their transponder at all times during flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside
airspace where SSR is used for ATS purposes. Transponders should be set on a discrete code
assigned by ATC or select code 2000 if ATC has not assigned a code.

COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
Degradation of Communication - Pilot Radio Procedures
When operating within the contingency airspace of the Jakarta FIR or Ujung Pandang FIR, pilots
should use normal radio communication procedures where ATS services are available. These will
be in accordance with the communication procedures in this Plan or as otherwise notified by
NOTAM or relevant information
If communication is lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, pilots should try the next
applicable frequency, e.g. if enroute contact is lost then try the next appropriate frequency, that is,
the next normal handover frequency. Pilots should also consider attempting to contact ATC on the
last frequency where two-way communication had been established. In the absence of no com-
munication with ATC, the pilot should continue to make routine position reports on the assigned
frequency, and also broadcast positions in accordance with the communication failure proce-
dures.

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR SINGAPORE FIR


GENERAL
In the event of partial or total disruption to the provision of Air Traffic Services (ATS) and/or the
related support services in the Singapore FIR, the ATM Contingency Plan referred to in this sec-
tion shall be activated to ensure the continued safety of air navigation of aircraft operating through
the Singapore FIR.
However, this contingency plan does not address arrangements for aircraft arriving and departing
at Singapore airports.
As and where dictated by circumstances, aircraft planning to operate through Singapore FIR that
have not yet departed may be temporarily suspended until a full assessment of the prevailing con-
ditions has been determined and sufficient air traffic services restored.
Long-haul international aircraft and special operations (e.g. SAR, State aircraft, humanitarian
flights, etc.) shall be afforded priority for levels at FL290 and above. Aircraft operators that oper-
ate domestic and regional flights should plan on the basis that FL290 and above may not be avail-
able.
Aircraft operators may elect to avoid the Singapore FIR by using ATS routes outside of Singapore
FIR.

REDUCED ATS AND PROVISION OF FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICES (FIS)


During the period where the contingency arrangements are in place, ATS including ATC services
may not be available, a NOTAM will be issued providing the relevant information. The contin-
gency plan provides for limited flight information and alerting services to be provided by Singa-
pore ACC.
FIS and flight monitoring will be provided by the designated ATS authorities for the adjacent FIRs
on the contingency routes that enter their respective FIRs.
During the early stages of a contingency event, ATC may be overloaded and tactical action may
be taken to re-clear aircraft on alternative routes not included in this plan.
In the event that ATS cannot be provided in the Singapore FIR, a NOTAM shall be issued indicat-
ing the following:
a. time and date on the commencement of the contingency measures;
b. airspace available for aircraft operations and airspace to be avoided;
c. details of the facilities and services available or not available and any limits on ATS provi-
sion, including an expected date of restoration of services if available;
d. information on the provisions made for alternative services;
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1820
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

e. applicable ATS routes, AIP-published contingency routes, or tactically defined contingency


routes;
f. any special procedures to be complied by neighboring ATS units not covered by this plan;
g. any special procedures to be complied by pilots; and
h. any other details that aircraft operators may find useful with respect to the disruption and
actions taken.

AIRCRAFT SEPARATION
The longitudinal separation will be 15 minutes. However, this may be reduced to 10 minutes in
conjunction with application of the Mach number technique where authorized by CAAS and the
agreed ATS coordination with the adjacent ATS authority.
The contingency route structure provides for lateral separation of 100NM. In cases where the lat-
eral spacing of contingency routes is less than 100NM, a minimum vertical separation of 1000ft
will be applicable.

AIRCRAFT POSITION REPORTING


Beyond VHF coverage, ADS-C shall replace any requirement for voice position reporting to ATC
for suitably equipped aircraft and in this case CPDLC or HF will be the secondary means of com-
munication. When CPDLC has been authorized for use by the relevant ATC authority, this will
become the primary means of communication while HF will act as the secondary means of com-
munication. If means of communication (i.e. ADS-C, CPDLC, HF, VHF) are not available, aircraft
operators shall comply with the communication procedures as stated in COMMUNICATION PRO-
CEDURES below.
In the event that communication with the appropriate ATS authority could not be established, air-
craft operators may apply Traffic Information Broadcast by Aircraft (TIBA) on 121.5MHz. For
details see Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Traffic Information Broadcasts by Aircraft (TIBA)”.

PILOT AND OPERATOR PROCEDURES


Flight Planning
Flight planning requirements detailed in AIP Singapore continue to apply during contingency oper-
ations, except where modified by the contingency ATS routes and flight level allocation scheme
specified by ATC and/or in NOTAM.
Airspace users are expected to familiarize themselves with the Contingency Plan of the Singa-
pore FIR and the activation times. For aircraft intending to operate in areas during periods when
the Contingency Plan is activated, the operators shall plan the flight to conform to the require-
ments of Contingency Plan.
Overflight Approval
Airspace users must obtain overflight approval from CAAS prior to operating aircraft through the
Singapore FIR. During the period of activation of this Contingency Plan, the adjacent ATS author-
ity will provide normal ATC clearances for aircraft to enter Singapore FIR. The adjacent ATS
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1821
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

authority is not responsible for coordination or provision of overflight clearances for Singapore
FIR. The airspace users must ensure any required overflight approval has been obtained.
Pilot Operating Procedures
Pilots will continue to make or broadcast routine position reports in line with normal ATC proce-
dures.
Pilots of aircraft operating in the Singapore FIR during contingency operations shall comply with
the following procedures:
a. all aircraft proceeding along the ATS routes established in this Contingency Plan will comply
with IFR and will be assigned a flight level in accordance with the flight level allocation
scheme applicable to the route(s) being flown as specified in CONTINGENCY ATS ROUTE
NETWORK below;
b. aircraft are to flight plan using the Contingency Routes specified below, according to their
airport of origin and destination;
c. aircraft are to operate as close as possible to the centerline of the assigned contingency
route;
d. a continuous communication watch shall be maintained on the specified contingency fre-
quency as specified in CONTINGENCY ATS ROUTE NETWORK below;
e. aircraft position reports and other information as necessary shall be broadcast in accord-
ance with TIBA procedures;
f. aircraft navigation and anti-collision lights shall be displayed;
g. except in cases of emergency or for reasons of flight safety, pilots are to maintain the last
assigned flight level, MACH number and SSR transponder code during their entire flight
within Singapore FIR. If no transponder code has been assigned, aircraft shall squawk Code
2000;
h. aircraft are to reach the flight level last assigned by the responsible ACC at least 10 minutes
before entering the Singapore FIR or as otherwise instructed by the ATC unit acting in
accordance with the Operational Contingency Arrangement;
i. pilots are to contact the next adjacent ACC as soon as possible, and in any event not less
than 10 minutes before the estimated time of arrival over the relevant exit point from the Sin-
gapore FIR;
j. pilots are to strictly adhere to the ICAO TIBA procedures on the specified VHF and HF fre-
quencies listed in CONTINGENCY ATS ROUTE NETWORK below. When necessitated by
emergency conditions or flight safety requirements, pilots are to transmit blind on these fre-
quencies, their current circumstances and the commencement and completion of any climb
and descent or deviation from the cleared contingency route;
k. whenever emergencies and/or flight safety reasons make it impossible to maintain the flight
level assigned for transit of Singapore FIR, pilots are to comply with the special procedures
for in-flight contingencies. If the deviation brings the aircraft out of Singapore FIR, pilots are
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1822
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

to immediately inform the ACC unit responsible for that airspace. Pilots are to broadcast
details of any level change including aircraft identification, aircraft position and route, vaca-
ted flight level, intended flight level; flight level passed and cruising flight level on 121.5MHz;
l. pilots are to maintain own longitudinal separation of 15 minutes from preceding aircraft at
the same cruising level. However, this may be reduced to 10 minutes in conjunction with
application of the Mach number technique where authorized by CAAS and the agreed ATS
coordination with the adjacent ATS authority; and
m. not all operational circumstances can be addressed by this Contingency Plan and pilots are
to maintain a high level of alertness when operating in the contingency airspace and take
appropriate action to ensure safety of aircraft.
Interception of Civil Aircraft
Aircraft operators must be familiar with international intercept procedures contained in ICAO
Annex 2 - Rules of the Air, paragraph 3.8 and Appendix 2, Sections 2 and 3.
Pilots are to comply with instructions given by the pilot of the intercepting aircraft. In such circum-
stances, the pilot of the aircraft being intercepted shall broadcast information on the situation.
If circumstances leading to the closure of the Singapore FIR where no contingency routes are
available, aircraft will be required to keep clear of Singapore FIR. As much warning as possible
will be provided by the appropriate ATS authorities in the event of the complete closure of air-
space.
Pilots shall continuously guard the VHF emergency frequency 121.5MHz and shall operate their
transponder at all times during flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside air-
space where SSR is used for ATS purposes. Transponder should be set on the last discrete code
assigned by ATC or select Code 2000 if no code was assigned.

COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
Degradation of Communication - Pilot Radio Procedures
When operating within the contingency airspace, pilots should use normal radio communication
procedures where ATS services are available. Where limited or no ATS is available, communica-
tion shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures in this plan or as otherwise notified by
NOTAM.
If communication is lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, pilots shall try the next
applicable frequency, e.g. if enroute contact is lost, pilots shall try the next appropriate frequency
(the next normal handover frequency). Pilots should also consider attempting to contact ATC on
the last frequency where two-way communication had been established. In the absence of com-
munication with ATC, the pilot shall continue to make routine position reports on the assigned fre-
quency, and also broadcast positions in accordance with the TIBA procedures.

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR VIETNAM FIRS


ATM contingency methods in this Plan are applied in 2 cases: short term contingency case (occur
unpredictably, immediately, and not enough time to prepare) and long term contingency case
(predictably and enough time to prepare).
During ATM contingency situation, Air Navigation Services such as communication, ATS surveil-
lance services may be postponed or disrupted. At that time, one NOTAM will be issued to show
related information, including estimated time and date when the service is reactive. During contin-
gency situation, adjacent ATS units are responsible to provide FIS, alerting service on contin-
gency routes inbound for their responsibility area.
VHF and HF are the main communication equipments.
ATS unit may be overloaded during the first stage of contingency period. ATS unit can provide
appropriate actions to temporarily adjust flight routes for flights on alternate routes which are not
contingency ones, after that step to step change to contingency routes structure.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1828
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

AIRCRAFT SEPARATION
15 minutes for aircraft flying at the same flight level, on the same route or on crossing tracks at
transferring control point.

FLIGHT LEVEL LIMITATION


Depending on contingency situation, aircraft on long-haul international flights and special flights
(search and rescue, State aircraft, humanitarian flights…) will be normally afforded priority for
flight levels.

AIRCRAFT POSITION REPORTS


Pilots will continue to report the aircraft positions as usual, in accordance with normal ATS report-
ing procedures.

TRANSITION TO CONTINGENCY PLAN


During times of uncertainty when airspace closures seem possible, aircraft operators should be
prepared for a possible change in routing while enroute, familiarization of the alternative routes
outlined in this Contingency Plan, as well as those which may be promulgated via NOTAM.

PILOT AND OPERATOR PROCEDURES


Flight Planning
When operating in Vietnam FIRs, pilots shall submit flight plans in accordance with ICAO Annex 2
and Doc 4444.
Pilot Operating Procedures
Before flying in contingency area, pilots consider to make decision to flight into alternate airport or
continue the flight as scheduled, agree with ATS unit to do this.
Pilots of aircraft operating during contingency operations shall complied with the following proce-
dures:
– Aircraft proceeding along ATS routes are established in this plan will comply with the IFR rules
and will be assigned a flight level in accordance with the flight level allocation scheme applica-
ble to contingency routes shown at detailed Contingency Plan below.
– At least 10 minutes before entering into contingency FIR, aircraft have to reach the latest flight
level assigned by responsible ATS unit or follow other instructions suitably with signed agree-
ment.
– During flight time within contingency FIR, pilots have to maintain the latest flight level assigned
by latest responsible ATS unit before entering into contingency route system and can not
change the flight level and speed except under emergency situation or to ensure safety for the
flight.
– Whenever emergencies or the flight safety reasons for flights that make them impossible to
maintain assigned flight level when entering into contingency airspace, pilots have to change
their heading to the right of centerline of ATM contingency route before changing flight level. In
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1829
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

case of deviating beyond the FIR, pilots have to inform ACC responsible for that area immedi-
ately. Blinded transmission is done on VHF frequency 121.5MHz and by broadcasting on fre-
quency 123.45MHz related emergency flight level change message (including aircraft callsign,
position, passing flight level, flight level left, …).
– Pilots are to strictly follow the in-flight broadcasting procedures and monitor VHF frequency
123.45MHz continuously.
– Pilots have to make position reports at the latest reporting point before entering into contin-
gency airspace as well as information on estimated time of entering and leaving contingency
airspace; make position reports when over compulsory position reporting point established on
contingency route.
– Pilots need to contact with ATS contingency unit immediately (at least 10 minutes before the
estimated time of arriving/crossing transfer of control boundary). Pilots have to maintain the
highest consciousness when operating in the contingency airspace and have appropriate
action to ensure safety for the flight.
Interception of Civil Aircraft
Pilots need to be aware that according to current international circumstances, their aircraft might
be intercepted by military aircraft on contingency route. Aircraft operators must therefore be famil-
iar with international interception procedures contained in ICAO Annex 2.

COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
When operating within the contingency airspace, pilots should use normal radio communication
procedures where ATC services are available. These will be in accordance with the communica-
tion procedures in this plan or as otherwise notified by NOTAM.
If communications are lost unexpectedly on the normal ATC frequencies, pilots should try the next
applicable frequency, e.g. if enroute contact is lost then try the next appropriate frequency. Pilots
should also consider attempting to contact with ATS unit on the latest frequency where two-way
communication recovered. In the absence of communication with ATS unit, the pilot should con-
tinue to make routine position reports on the assigned frequency, and also broadcast positions on
assigned contingency frequency.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCAST BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA) PROCEDURES


Special procedures have been developed for pilots use in active contingency zones if air traffic
services are significantly degraded or unavailable. These procedures will enable traffic informa-
tion broadcasts by aircraft (TIBA) to be made as well as providing collision hazard information.
When aircraft will enter designated airspace in which it is known in advance that ATM contin-
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1846
FAR EAST
CONTINGENCY PLANS - FAR EAST

gency, pilots should maintain a listening watch on the 123.45MHz frequency 10 minutes prior to
entering that airspace.
Pilots shall operate aircraft transponders on Modes A and C at all time. In the absence of alterna-
tive instructions from the appropriate ATS unit, aircraft not assigned a discrete code should
squawk code A2000.
Unless otherwise directed by an appropriate authority, pilots should operate TCAS in TA/RA
Mode at maximum range setting during the cruise phase of flight and at a range setting appropri-
ate to the traffic situation when in the departure or terminal phases of flight.
For details see Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Traffic Information Broadcasts by Aircraft (TIBA)”.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES FOR


OCEANIC AIRSPACE OF KOTA KINABALU AND KUALA LUMPUR
FIRS
GENERAL (FOR OCEANIC AIRSPACE OF KUALA LUMPUR FIR)
The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended
as guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases
of inability to maintain assigned level due to:
a. weather;
b. aircraft performance;
c. pressurization failure; and
d. problems associated with high-level supersonic flight.
The procedures are applicable primarily when rapid descent and/or turn-back or diversion to an
alternate airport is required. The pilot’s judgment shall determine the sequence of actions to be
taken, taking into account specific circumstances.
a. If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised
clearance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a distress
or urgency signal as appropriate.
b. 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:
1. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
2. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable
intervals: flight identification, flight level, aircraft position, (including the ATS route desig-
nator or the track code) and intentions on the frequency in use, as well as on frequency
121.5MHz (or, as a back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
3. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS/TCAS; and
4. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT REQUIRING RAPID


DESCENT, TURN-BACK OR DIVERSION FOR OCEANIC AIRSPACE OF KUALA
LUMPUR FIR
Initial Action
If unable to comply with the provisions under a. above to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the air-
craft should leave its assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left whenever this is
possible. The direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft relative to
any organized route or track system (for example, whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of,
or within the system). Other factors to consider are terrain clearance and the levels allocated to
adjacent routes or tracks.

Subsequent Action
Aircraft able to maintain Level
An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should acquire and maintain in either direction a
track laterally separated by 15NM from its assigned route or track and once established on the
offset track, climb or descend 500ft (150m).
Aircraft unable to maintain Level
An aircraft NOT able to maintain its assigned level should, whenever possible, minimize its rate of
descent while turning to acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by
15NM from its assigned route or track. For subsequent level flight, a level should be selected
which differs by 500ft (150m) from those normally used.
Diversion across the Flow of adjacent Traffic
Before commencing a diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should, while main-
taining the 15NM offset, expedite climb above or descent below levels where the majority of air-
craft operate (e.g., to a level above FL400 or below FL290) and then maintain a level which differs
by 500ft (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 500ft (150m) above or below
levels normally used until a new ATC clearance is obtained.
Extended range Operations by Aeroplanes with two-turbine power-units (ETOPS) Aircraft
If these contingency procedures are employed by a twin-engine aircraft as a result of an engine
shutdown or a failure of an ETOPS critical system, the pilot should advise ATC as soon as practi-
cable of the situation, reminding ATC of the type of aircraft involved and requesting expeditious
handling.

LUMPUR FIRS
All possible circumstances cannot be covered. Therefore, the pilot’s judgement shall ultimately
determine the sequence of actions taken and ATC shall render all possible assistance.
If an aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather and prior clearance cannot be
obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time. Until an ATC clear-
ance is received, the aircraft shall follow the procedures as detailed in “Actions to be taken if a
revised ATC Clearance cannot be obtained”.
The pilot shall advise ATC when weather deviation is no longer required or when a weather devia-
tion has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared track.
Obtaining Priority from ATC when Weather Deviation is required
When the pilot initiates communications with ATC, rapid response may be obtained by stating
“WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the frequency and for
ATC response.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1849
FAR EAST
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES

The pilot still retains the option of initiating the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) to alert all listening parties to a special handling condition which
will receive ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance.
Actions to be Taken if Pilot-Controller Communications are Established
The pilot notifies ATC and requests clearance to deviate from track, advising, when possible, the
extent of the deviation expected.
Sample Phraseology: “UNABLE (requested deviation), TRAFFIC IS (call sign, position, level,
direction), ADVISE INTENTIONS”.
The pilot will take the following actions:
a. advise ATC of intentions; and
b. comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
c. execute the procedures “Actions to be taken if a revised ATC Clearance cannot be obtained”
below (ATC will issue essential traffic information to all affected aircraft); and
d. if necessary, establish voice communications with ATC to expedite dialogue on the situation.
Actions to be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot be Obtained
If a revised ATC clearance cannot be obtained and deviation from track is required to avoid
weather, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft, broadcasting at suitable intervals-
aircraft identification, flight level, position, ATS route designator and intentions, on the fre-
quency in use and on frequency 121.5MHz (or, as a backup, on the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air
frequency 123.45MHz);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS/TCAS;
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. for deviations of less than 10NM aircraft should remain at a level assigned by ATC;
f. for deviations of greater than 10NM, when the aircraft is approximately 10NM from track, ini-
tiate a level change based on the criteria in Table below;
g. if contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information;
h. when returning to track, be at its assigned flight level, when the aircraft is within approxi-
mately 10NM of centerline.
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under b. and c. above the pilot determines that there is
another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then the pilot is
expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

GENERAL
Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures shown below provide for
the more frequent cases such as:
a. The inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions;
b. Enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow (for example, due to medical emergen-
cies); and
c. The loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in
an airspace where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct
of flight operations, or pressurization failure.
The pilot shall take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft, and the pilot’s judge-
ment shall determine the sequence of actions to be taken, having regard to the prevailing circum-
stances. Air traffic control shall render all possible assistance.
If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clear-
ance shall be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
If prior clearance cannot be obtained the following contingency procedures should be employed
until a revised clearance is received. In general terms, the aircraft should be flown at an offset
level and on an offset track where other aircraft are less likely to be encountered. Specifically, the
pilot shall:
a. Leave the cleared track or ATS route by initially turning at least 30 degrees to the right or to
the left, in order to establish and maintain a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset
5 NM. The direction of the turn should be based on one or more of the following factors:
1. Aircraft position relative to any organized track or ATS route system;
2. The direction of flights and flight levels allocated on adjacent tracks;
3. The direction to an alternate airport;
4. Any strategic lateral offset being flown; and
5. Terrain clearance.
b. Maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped),
leaving ACAS in RA mode at all times, unless aircraft operating limitations dictate otherwise;
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1851
FAR EAST
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES

c. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
d. Keep the SSR transponder on at all times and, when able, squawk 7700, as appropriate and,
if equipped with ADS-B or ADS-C, select the appropriate emergency functionality;
e. As soon as practicable advise air traffic control of any deviation from their assigned clear-
ance;
f. Use means as appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a contingency
or emergency;
g. If voice communications are used the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency
signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, shall be used, as appropriate;
h. When emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC the controller may respond via
CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice contact with the aircraft;
i. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting on the frequencies
in use and at suitable intervals on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air
frequency 123.45 MHz): aircraft identification, the nature of the distress condition, intention
of the pilot, position (including the ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate)
and flight level.
Actions to be Taken Once Offset from Track
NOTE: The pilot’s judgement of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of the aircraft will
determine the actions outlined to be taken. Factors for the pilot to consider when deviating from
the cleared track or ATS route or level without an ATC clearance include, but are not limited to:
a. Operation within a parallel track system;
b. The potential for user preferred routes (UPRs) parallel to the aircraft’s track or ATS route;
c. The nature of the contingency (e.g., aircraft system malfunction); and
d. Weather factors (e.g., convective weather at lower flight levels).
If possible, maintain the assigned flight level until established on the 5 NM parallel, same direction
track or ATS route offset. If unable, initially minimize the rate of descent to the extent that is
operationally feasible.
Once established on a parallel, same direction track or ATS route offset by 5 NM, either:
a. Descend below FL290, and establish a 500 ft vertical offset from those flight levels normally
used, and proceed as required by the operational situation or if an ATC clearance has been
obtained, in accordance with the clearance; or
b. Establish a 500 ft vertical offset (or 1000 ft vertical offset if above FL410) from those flight
levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation, or if an ATC
clearance has been obtained, in accordance with the clearance.
NOTE: Altimetry system errors (ASE) may result in less than 500 ft vertical spacing (less than
1000 ft above FL410) when the above contingency procedure is applied.

WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES IN THE SINGAPORE FIR


Obtaining Priority from ATC when Weather Deviation is Required
NOTE: The following procedures are intended for deviations around adverse meteorological con-
ditions.
When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice or
CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
a. stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the fre-
quency and for ATC response; or
b. requesting a weather deviation using a CPDLC lateral downlink message.
When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDLC urgency downlink message.
The pilot shall inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather devi-
ation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
Actions to be Taken if Pilot-Controller Communications are Established
The pilot notifies ATC and requests clearance to deviate from track or ATS route, advising, when
possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever means are
appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a weather deviation.
NOTE: Pilots are advised to contact ATC as soon as possible with requests for clearance in order
to provide adequate time for the request to be assessed and acted upon.
The pilot should take the following actions:
a. Comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
b. Advise ATC of intentions and execute the procedures detailed in “Actions to be taken if a
revised ATC Clearance cannot be obtained” below.
Actions to be Taken if a Revised ATC Clearance Cannot be Obtained
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track or ATS route to avoid adverse meteorological condi-
tions and prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest
possible time. Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or ATS route system;
b. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable inter-
vals: aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track
code) and intentions, on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the
inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
d. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1853

e. For deviations of less than 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route, remain at a
level assigned by ATC;
f. For deviations greater than or equal to 5 NM from the originally cleared track or ATS route,
when the aircraft is approximately 5 NM from track, initiate a level change in accordance with
the table below;
g. If the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or ATS route for a specified dis-
tance and, subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that dis-
tance, the pilot should apply an altitude offset in accordance with the table below before
deviating beyond the cleared distance;
h. When returning to track or ATS route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 5 NM of the centerline; and
i. If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information.
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions above, the pilot determines that there
is another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then the pilot is
expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN PILOT-CONTROLLER COMMUNICATIONS ARE


NOT ESTABLISHED OR REVISED ATC CLEARANCE IS NOT AVAILABLE
If contact cannot be established or revised ATC clearance or advisory is not available and devia-
tion from track is required to avoid weather, the pilot shall take following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. broadcast aircraft position and intentions on frequency 121.5MHz at suitable intervals stat-
ing: flight identification (operator call sign), flight level, track code or ATS route designator,
and extent of deviation expected;
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS/TCAS (if equipped);
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights;
e. when the aircraft is approximately 10NM from track, start a descent to and maintain;
f. If conflicting traffic is identified during the deviation, climb or descend to establish vertical
separation from conflicting aircraft;
g. when returning to track, be at its assigned flight level or altitude, when the aircraft is within
approximately 10NM of centerline;
h. if contact is not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain a
clearance. If contact is established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and obtain
essential traffic information.

WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES FOR PHNOM PENH FIR


The following procedures are intended to provide guidance. All possible circumstances cannot be
covered. Therefore, the pilot’s judgement shall ultimately determine the sequence of actions taken
and ATC shall render all possible assistance.
If an aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather and prior clearance cannot be
obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time. Until an ATC clear-
ance is received, the aircraft shall follow the procedures as detailed in “ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
IF A REVISED ATC CLEARANCE CANNOT BE OBTAINED”.
The pilot shall advise ATC when weather deviation is no longer required or when a weather devia-
tion has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared track.

OBTAINING PRIORITY FROM ATC WHEN WEATHER DEVIATION IS REQUIRED


When the pilot initiates communications with ATC, rapid response may be obtained by stating
“WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the frequency and for
ATC response.
The pilot still retains the option of initiating the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) to alert all listening parties to a special handling condition which
will receive ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance.

doesn't answer the repeated calls through all available communication channels.
The transponder is set to be Mode A code 7600 as soon as the pilot has detected communication
failure.
The pilot shall use all available facilities to re-establish communication with ATC unit directly or by
means of the other aircraft. If necessary, the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz may be used.
In any case of radio communication failure, the pilot shall continue listening on the appropriate
radio frequency and transmitting the position reports, actions and flight conditions. The pilot shall
comply with one of the following procedures.

TOTAL RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE FOR ARRIVING AIRCRAFT


If in VMC, continue to fly in VMC and land at the nearest suitable airport.
If in IMC or when the pilot of an IFR flight considers it inadvisable to complete the flight, the pilot
shall:
– If a specific STAR procedure has been designated and acknowledged prior to the occurrence
of radio communication failure, comply with the radio communication failure procedures.
– If no specific STAR procedure has been designated or acknowledged prior to the occurrence of
radio communication failure, endeavor to ascertain the landing direction from any available
means as shown below in – Identification of Runway in Use. The pilot then should proceed in
accordance with the STAR procedure appropriate to its ATS route and landing direction, and
comply with the radio communication failure procedures.
When an arriving aircraft is being radar vectored, if no transmissions are heard on the frequency
in use for a period of two minutes, a radio frequency check is to be made. If the radio frequency
check indicates a radio communication failure. Pilot should proceed in the most direct manner
possible to rejoin the STAR procedure appropriate to its ATS route and landing direction.

ICAO LOCATION INDICATORS DECODE — AUSTRALIA


This section contains a list of ICAO location indicators in alphabetical order for Australian airports.

AIRPORT DIRECTORY
General
Airports are listed by location (city) and State/Territory. Airport names are included in parenthesis
when different than the location name. A cross reference by airport name is provided when differ-
ent than the location name. Diagrams are provided, when available, for airports which do not have
an instrument approach procedure published.
Operations at Uncertified Airports
The information about the movement areas and lighting details of airports that are uncertified and
unregistered is subject to change without prior notice and is NOT subject to NOTAM action.
Pilots and operators must contact the airport operator directly to ensure currency and accuracy of
airport information.
State/Territory abbreviations used in location names:
Australian Capital Territory – ACT
New South Wales – NSW
Northern Territory – NT
Queensland – QLD
South Australia – SA
Tasmania – TAS
Victoria – VIC
Western Australia – WA
Airport Location Identifiers
Each airport is assigned a four letter Jeppesen Navdata (ICAO) identifier.
Elevation, Magnetic Variation and Geographical Location
Airport elevation at the airport reference point is provided in feet above mean sea level (QNH).
Magnetic variation is provided in whole degrees. The geographical location of the airport refer-
ence point is provided in degrees, minutes and tenths of a minute.
Airport Operator/Telephone Number
The airport operator name is provided with a contact telephone number. A FAX number is also
included where a facsimile service is available to the airport operator.
Hours of Operation
Airport hours of operation are shown in UTC. Where local time is intended it will be followed by
the abbreviation LT (Local Time). Local time in Australia falls into three separate zones; Eastern
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1925
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND

Standard Time (EST), which is UTC plus 10 hours, Central Standard Time (CST), which is UTC
plus 9 1/2 hours, and Western Standard Time (WST), which is UTC plus 8 hours.
These times apply as follows:
EST is used in the States of New South Wales, (except the Broken Hill area), Queensland, Victo-
ria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory;
CST is used in the State of South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Broken Hill area;
WST is used in the State of Western Australia.
Allowance should be made for any daylight saving that may be in force.
Airport Lighting
Lighting activation for VFR airports and other available lighting will be indicated in the text. Stand
by Power Available with certain restrictional notes will be listed for airports with Standard Instru-
ment Approach Procedures and VFR airports.
Reference AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS for information on pilot
activated lighting (PAL).
See INTRODUCTION - APPROACH CHART LEGEND for runway and approach lighting abbrevi-
ations used in this section.
Runway Data
Runway information will be listed in the text at locations where an airport diagram is not available.
Runway Bearing Strength
ICAO Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method is used
to specify the strength of pavements and hence permissible aircraft masses. The operation of an
aircraft above the maximum mass and tire pressures is not permitted unless a pavement conces-
sion is approved. Omission of pavement strength indicates that the runway is unrated. See Pave-
ment Strength Limitations this section for details regarding runway bearing strengths.
Additional Airport Information
Remarks as to special procedures, right hand circuits, etc., are included.
Customs
Refer to ENTRY REQUIREMENTS for national regulations and customs information.
Communications
Operating hours of control towers are provided in UTC unless otherwise stated. For VFR airports,
the primary frequencies are listed for ATIS, Approach Control furnishing VFR advisories, Tower,
Ground, Flight Information Service (FIS), Flight Information Area (FIA), and Common Traffic Advi-
sory Frequency (CTAF). Pilots of inbound traffic should monitor and communicate as appropriate
on the designated CTAF from 10 miles to landing. Pilots of departing aircraft should monitor/
communicate on the appropriate frequency from start-up, during taxi, and until 10 miles from the
airport unless local procedures require otherwise. Pilots of aircraft conducting other than arriving
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1926
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND

or departing operations at altitudes normally used by arriving and departing aircraft should moni-
tor/communicate on the appropriate frequency while within 10 miles of the airport unless required
to do otherwise by local procedures.
A (CA/GRS) certified air/ground radio service is an airport radio information service; not an air
traffic service. Pilots retain full responsibility to decide whether to accept and use the information.
CA/GRS provides the following information: confirmation of frequency, relevant traffic in CTAF &
maneuvering area of airport, weather conditions if no ATIS exists, other local information, and
emergency services call-out.
An airport frequency response unit (AFRU) will provide an automatic response when pilots trans-
mit on the traffic frequency for the particular airport, normally the CTAF. It will assist in indicating
inadvertent selection of the incorrect VHF frequency when pilots operate into uncontrolled air-
ports.
Rescue and Fire Fighting System
Airport categories for rescue and fire fighting are based on the over-all length of the longest air-
craft normally using the airport and its maximum fuselage width. Note that the figures below refer
to quantities and discharge rates for water. Different figures apply to other extinguishing agents.
The rescue and fire fighting capability will be shown in the airport listings as “Fire” followed by the
category number (e.g., Fire 5). If different category numbers are published for one airport, the
lowest category number will be shown. The higher category number with the relevant note (e.g.,
Fire 7 PTO, Fire 7 PPR...etc.) can be found within the Airport information block. PTO abbrevia-
tions used with Fire stand for Part time operations.

WRS – Airservices Water Rescue Service


WRS is at selected apts. This service consists of rescue boats which provide a first response to
an aircraft incident in water areas to deploy flotation platforms, pending the arrival of a larger,
second stage response under an Airport Emergency Plan (AEP). The WRS does not constitute a
part of RFFS category; however, any subsequent non-availability of the complete WRS will gener-
ate notification processes compatible with a contingency plan involving other emergency Agen-
cies (and ATS) at that airport location. PTO abbreviations used with WRS stand for Part time
operations.

RUNWAY DECLARED DISTANCES


Declared distances in feet (meters) are tabulated for each runway. They are:
TORA (TAKE-OFF RUN AVAILABLE) — The length of runway declared available and suitable
for the ground run of an aircraft taking off. (In most cases this corresponds to the physical length
of the runway pavement.)
TODA (TAKE-OFF DISTANCE AVAILABLE) — The length of take-off run available plus the
length of any clearway available.
ASDA (ACCELERATE - STOP DISTANCE AVAILABLE) — The length of take-off run available
plus the length of stopway, if provided. (Any stopway length included shall be adequate for use by
all aircraft which comply with the runway strength rating.)
LDA (LANDING DISTANCE AVAILABLE) — The length of runway declared available and suita-
ble for the ground run of an aircraft landing. (In most cases, this corresponds to the physical
length of the runway pavement.)
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1932
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND

RESA (RUNWAY END SAFETY AREA) RESA — is the cleared and graded area adjacent to the
end of a runway or stopway intended for use in the event of an aircraft undershooting or overrun-
ning the runway. In Australia, a minimum RESA of 60m (197') is provided, except for runway serv-
ing only code 1 runway where 30m (99') is the minimum. The minimum RESA for a runway serv-
ing jet aircraft used for scheduled air transport operation is 90m (295'). Because of the require-
ment for a RESA, the declaring of less than the full runway length to be available for take-off or
landing is sometimes necessary.
AIRPORT REFERENCE CODE — CODE NUMBER (CN) — A reference code number is provi-
ded for each Rwy listed in the Rwy distances tables. This code number indicates the maximum
field length of the aircraft that the Rwy is designed for. Code numbers and associated field lengths
are:
a. Field length of less than 2624' (800m).
b. Field length of 2624' (800) up to but not including 3936' (1200m).
c. Field length of 3936' (1200m) up to but not including 5904' (1800m).
d. Field length of 5904' (1800m) and over.
Note that the field length of an aircraft is based on the performance of an aircraft during certifica-
tion and is not related to the actual Rwy length provided at an airport.
Use the code number to determine the applicable standards of obstacle-clear approach gradients,
take-off gradients & take-off survey areas for the Rwy. The code number is not intended to limit
aircraft operations at an airport. Aircraft operators and/or pilots must ensure that the published air-
port information meets requirements for their aircraft operations.
OBSTACLE-CLEAR APPROACH GRADIENTS
The threshold is located at least 60m from the intersection of the obstacle clear approach surface
with the extended runway centerline. The standards for the obstacle clear approach gradients are:
5% for a code 1 runway,
4% for a code 2 runway,
3.3% for a code 3 and 4 runway,
3.3% for NPA Code 1, 2 or 3 runway, and
2% for NPA code 4 and an INST runway.
Variations to the approach gradients will be explained in a note under the relevant declared dis-
tances entry.
OBSTACLE CLEAR TAKE-OFF GRADIENTS
Areas from the ends of runways, defined in accordance with the table below, are surveyed for
obstacles. The obstacle-clear take-off gradient is based on the greatest vertical angle with the
horizontal subtended by an obstacle within the surveyed area. This gradient information is shown
in brackets immediately following the TODA information. Liaise with the AD OPR if obstacle infor-
mation is required.
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1933

LEGEND

Supplementary Take-Off Distances Available (STODA) are shown for obstacle-clear take-off gra-
dients (within the same defined area) of 1.6%, 1.9%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 3.3% and 5% if the TODA gra-
dient exceeds these figures and the resultant STODA is greater than 800m.
Where an existing fence or levee is located very close to the runway end, the fence or levee may
not be taken into account in the assessment of the obstacle-clear take-off gradients for TODA and
STODA purposes. In such cases, information of the height and location of the fence or levee will
be provided in a note under the relevant declared distances entry.
If the survey area is not in accordance with the table below, details of the actual obstacle survey
area are provided below the relevant declared distances entry.

SLOPE — On runway quoted is the difference between the maximum and the minimum elevation
along the centerline of the runway divided by its length and expressed as a percentage to the
nearest one-tenth of a percent. The “down” slope and its direction are tabulated in all cases, eg,
“0.8% down to SE”. Where significant slope variations occur, additional data may be shown in
notices, eg, “E end level, center section 0.5% down to W, W end 0.1% down to E”.
RWS WIDTH — is the width from side to side which contains the runway, the graded and ungra-
ded portions of the RWS, shown in meters only. The GRADED portion of the RWS may be
defined by boundary markers and is graded to alleviate damage to an aircraft in the event that it
runs off the runway. The UNGRADED portion of the RWS is free of upstanding objects but may
contain depressions, trenches, etc.

DEFINITIONS
AIRCRAFT CLASSIFICATION NUMBER (ACN) — A number expressing the relative effect of an
aircraft on a pavement for a specified standard subgrade strength.
CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO — The bearing ratio of soil determined by comparing the pene-
tration load of the soil to that of a standard material. The method covers evaluation of the relative
quality of subgrade soils but is applicable to sub-base and some base coarse materials.
EQUIVALENT SINGLE ISOLATED WHEEL LOAD — The equivalent load that would be
imposed on a pavement by a single wheel if any wheel group on an aircraft were replaced by a
single wheel using the same tire pressure.
GROSS WEIGHT — The weight of the aircraft together with the weight of all persons and goods
(including fuel) on board the aircraft at that time.
K — Westergaard’s modulus of subgrade reaction in MN/m3.
KILOPASCALS (KpA) — A measure of pressure or stress in thousands of Pascals.
MEGANEWTONS PER CUBIC METER (MN/m3) — A measure of force in millions of Newtons
per cubic meter.
MEGAPASCALS (MPa) — A measure of pressure or stress in millions of Pascals.
PASCAL (Pa) — The pressure of stress of one (1) Newton per square meter.
PAVEMENT CLASSIFICATION NUMBER (PCN) — A number expressing the bearing strength of
a pavement for unrestricted operations.
PERMISSIBLE ALL-UP WEIGHT — The weight to which an aircraft is limited by virtue of the
physical characteristics of an airport.

ACN/PCN
The Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method is used
to specify the strength of pavements and hence permissible aircraft masses (weights) applicable
for aircraft with an all-up weight of more than 5700kg (12,500 lbs).
The parameters published to specify the strength of a rated pavement suitable for use by aircraft
above 5700kg maximum all-up mass are:
a. Pavement Classification Number — PCN;
b. The pavement type:
R = Rigid Pavement
F = Flexible Pavement
c. Subgrade strength category code:
A = High Strength
B = Medium Strength
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1936
AUSTRALIA

C = Low Strength
D = Ultra-low Strength
d. The maximum tire pressure in Kpa and psi;
e. The method by which the pavement has been evaluated:
T = Technical evaluation
U = From aircraft experience
A coding example of the above parameters for the bearing strength of a rigid pavement, resting
on a medium strength sub-grade, assessed by technical evaluation to be PCN 80:

PCN 80/R/B/1750(254 psi)/T

The parameters published for rated pavements for use by aircraft not above 5700kg maximum all-
up mass are:
a. The permissible aircraft gross mass in kilograms;
b. The maximum tire pressure in kilopascals.
NOTE: Mass in lbs and tire pressure in psi are also provided in parenthesis.
Pavement Concessions
The operation of an aircraft above the maximum masses and tire pressures is not permitted
unless a pavement concession is approved.
However, if the tire pressure exceeds that listed, the permissible pressure may be increased
using the factor obtained from the Permanent Tire Pressure Concessions graph below. If the
pressure requirements are then met, and provided that not more than four movements within a
seven day period are proposed for aircraft above 5700kg maximum gross mass, an aircraft may
use a pavement if its ACN for the appropriate type and subgrade strength does not exceed the
published PCN.
An operator of an aircraft requiring a pavement concession should apply to the airport operator.

Examples of ACN Table Usage


ACNs for selected aircraft types currently in use have been provided by aircraft manufacturers to
ICAO. The information is presented in the ACN Tables published in this Airport Directory.
NOTE: The ACN tables indicate tire pressure in MPa. To obtain kPa multiply MPa values by
1000.
PROBLEM 1:
Find the ACN of a B737-200/200C (Advanced) with a mass of 56,699kg on a rigid pavement rest-
ing on a medium strength subgrade (i.e., K = 80 MN/m3). Tire pressure of the main wheels is
1230 kPa (MPa 1.23).
SOLUTION: ACN = 34
PROBLEM 2:
The airport lists the following information related to a runway pavement:
PCN 66/F/C/1400(203 psi)/U
Determine whether the pavement can accept the following aircraft at the indicated operating
masses and tire pressure:
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1938
AUSTRALIA

Airbus A300 B2 142,000kg/1290 kPa


B747-100B 341,553kg/1320 kPa
DC-10-40 558,000 lbs/170 psi
L-1011-1 195,952kg/1330 kPa

SOLUTION:
ACNs for these aircraft are 55, 62, 70 and 66 respectively. Comparing the ACNs with the PCN of
66 it can be determined that the pavement can accept all aircraft except the DC-10-40.
The DC-10-40 operator must request a pavement concession from the operator or reduce the
operating mass to 532,061 lbs (241,339kg) to arrive at an ACN of 66.
NOTE: When the reported PCN is below the ACN for the Maximum Apron Mass, an all-up mass
can be calculated which is suitable to the lower reported PCN. The ACN varies linearly between
the operating Mass Empty and the Maximum Apron Mass.
Unrated Pavements
An aircraft may operate on an unrated pavement provided the aircraft gross mass and tire pres-
sure do not exceed those determined from the following graph:
