IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING JEPPESEN'S WARRANTY AND COPYRIGHT
This flight information has been developed to meet the need for a publication providing current
information in the condensed form required for modern air navigation under instrument and visual
flight conditions. Information contained in the copyrighted charts is independently available from
publications of the appropriate governing authority.
It is designated for use by experienced, instrument rated pilots who must be thoroughly familiar
and competent with the instrument navigation of aircraft.
Instrument procedures are designed, flight tested, approved, authorized and prescribed by appli-
cable governing authorities. In the United States, these flight procedures are incorporated into
FAR Part 97 as regulations. Jeppesen does not design or flightcheck any of these procedures,
and Jeppesen has no authority to alter, modify, add to, or subtract from any flight procedure pre-
scribed by a governing authority. Further, Jeppesen does not review or approve the adequacy,
reliability, accuracy, safety or conformance with government standards of any government flight
procedure, and it specifically has undertaken no such duty. Jeppesens 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 Flight Information, including all subsequent revisions, contains a wide variety of
information useful to pilots which Jeppesen has obtained from outside sources. Jeppesen has
edited this source material, and has arranged and published it in a convenient, easy-to-use
format. Jeppesen believes that this Flight Information, and all subsequent revisions, accurately
communicates the information obtained from this source material.
EXPRESS WARRANTY
Jeppesen expressly warrants that it has accurately graphically depicted the flight procedures pre-
scribed by applicable government authorities, and that it has accurately communicated the infor-
mation obtained from other sources which is depicted on its maps and charts or otherwise con-
tained in this publication. This express warranty is the only warranty express or implied, made by
Jeppesen concerning this Flight Information and the contents thereof. Jeppesens total liability for
any claim for breach of this express warranty shall be limited to general money damages, not to
exceed the total amount paid to Jeppesen by the Air Carrier in the three months immediately pre-
ceding the date that the claim arose, for flight information services.
ITEMS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
HOWEVER, JEPPESEN MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, AND DISCLAIMS
ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, ADEQUACY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY,
SAFETY, OR CONFORMANCE WITH GOVERNMENT STANDARDS OR REGULATIONS, OF
ANY FLIGHT PROCEDURE PRESCRIBED BY A GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FURTHER, JEPPESEN MAKES NO WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE ADEQUACY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY,
SAFETY, OR CONFORMANCE WITH GOVERNMENT STANDARDS OR REGULATIONS, OF
ANY INFORMATION DEPICTED ON ITS CHARTS OR MAPS, OR OTHERWISE CONTAINED
IN THIS PUBLICATION, WHICH JEPPESEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCE MATERIAL CRE-
ATED, DESIGNED OR PUBLISHED BY OTHERS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JEP-
PESEN BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER
DAMAGES FROM ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR
ANY OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM THAT ANY FLIGHT PROCEDURE OR
OTHER OUTSIDE SOURCE MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE, INADEQUATE, INACCURATE, UNRE-

PACIFIC PREFERRED ROUTES

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 Guam CTA
airspace (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 Oce-
anic CTA/FIR. The acronym FPRD means flight plan route to destination.
Aircraft within the Oakland CTA/FIR and transiting the Guam CTA must flight plan to enter/exit
Guam Center airspace on an appropriate ATS route(s) or other established compulsory reporting
points (e.g., FATUM or JOBSS).
Aircraft flight planning 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 con-
sidered on a real-time basis as traffic conditions permit. However, aircraft should file for and be
prepared to fly the entire preferential route. Aircraft operating EAST of 150E longitude will not be
affected.

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, FL390,
FL410
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 or 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
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 96
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES

the Anchorage FIR, certain ATS routes are used for the same purpose. These routes
include: G583, B327, B327 (For westbound use only between BAMOK and SELDM), R341,
G469, A342, G215, R330, R451, R336, R338, G349 (For westbound 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 97
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 Tokyo 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

d. Usable Flight Levels. All IFR flight levels at or above FL290, except the Westbound North
America-Japan PACOTS which also includes FL280 in the Oakland Oceanic FIR. The West-
bound North America-Japan PACOTS are included in the Track Advisory Program. Certain
restrictions may apply for non-PACOTS traffic operating in the opposite direction to the pub-
lished PACOTS system.
e. City Pair Tracks. Where ATC has identified a requirement for flight planning restrictions on
a particular city pair, these restrictions will be published by Class I NOTAM or as part of the
daily track message. Users crossing 165-east longitude between 0930-1230 UTC will file
eastbound PACOTS Track 2 (or 4 when published) to KSFO and Track 3 (or 4 when pub-
lished) to KLAX.
f. Lateral spacing of tracks. Tracks are established at least 50 nautical miles apart. Tracks
are defined using latitude/longitude expressed in whole degrees or named fixes with the
exception of FIR crossing points.
g. Flight Planning. The following flight planning restrictions and rules only apply within the
oceanic control areas of the respective FIRs. Furthermore, these restrictions do not affect
aircraft filing on ATS routes in the Central East Pacific (CEP) route system or the North
Pacific (NOPAC) Composite Route System unless individual routes within these systems are
specifically identified as unusable in NOTAMs.
1. Participating Aircraft.
(a) Aircraft requesting altitudes at or above FL280 may file via route notified in the
daily NOTAM or track message.
(b) Aircraft may file to leave or join an outer PACOTS track at any reporting point. Air-
craft leaving an outer track should file routes that diverge, within 10 degrees of lon-
gitude, to at least 50 NM from the nearest PACOTS track. Flight level assignment
for aircraft joining an outer track will be based on traffic.
2. Nonparticipating aircraft.
(a) Random routes under the PACOTS at FL270 and below are permitted, unless pro-
hibited by NOTAM.
h. ATC Procedures.
1. For flight planning and initial clearances, crossing between PACOTS tracks at FL280
and above will not be permitted. Once established on the PACOTS track, changes may
be approved as traffic permits.
2. Aircraft should not expect to climb into the PACOTS unless filed on a route correspond-
ing to a PACOTS track. In this case, climb into the PACOTS will be approved as traffic
permits.

TRACK ADVISORY PROCEDURES


Track Advisory consists of Oakland ARTCC Traffic Management Unit (TMU) publishing West-
bound PACOTS tracks and users submitting their requested departure time with associated pre-
ferred routes and altitudes. This is followed by Oakland ARTCC TMU assigning user-requested
flights to the tracks in a manner that effects efficient utilization of airspace. Oakland ARTCC TMU
then publishes a Gateway Reservation List (GRL) that contains oceanic release times, and asso-
ciated route and altitude assignments. Dispatcher user guides for Track Advisory may be
obtained from the Oakland ARTCC TMU office during administrative hours, telephone (510)
745-3450.
a. The Westbound PACOTS NOTAM identifies tracks subject to Track Advisory procedures for
aircraft entering the tracks between 1900 UTC and 0100 UTC. Aircraft participating in Track
Advisory procedures receive priority over nonparticipating aircraft. Users who are unable to
comply with time constraints will be accommodated to the extent feasible.
b. CONVENTIONS
1. Pilots who determine their assigned departure times cannot be met, are required to
coordinate immediately with their dispatcher for an acceptable alternative.
2. Pilots are allowed a 10 minute departure window. The window begins at the assigned
take off time and ends 10 minutes later.
3. Longitudinal separation is applied at the PACOTS entry fix. Aircraft not over the entry fix
within 10 minutes after the entry fix time may not receive their initial reserved enroute
altitude.
4. The track advisory program will only accept right way cardinal altitudes at or above
FL280, FL300, FL320, FL340 and FL360.

RADAR BEACON ASSIGNMENT TO MODE 3/A CODED BEACON TRANSPONDER EQUIP-


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.

AUSTRALIA (All FIRs)


Standard operating procedures with the following additions:
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 107
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-
crete code, the appropriate non-discrete code from the following listing, unless advised oth-
erwise by ATS:
1. Civil flights in classes “A”, “C” and “D” airspace, or IFR flights in Class “E” airspace—
3000.
2. Civil IFR flights in Class “G” airspace—2000.
3. Civil VFR flights in classes “E” or “G” airspace—1200.
4. Military flights in classes “A”, “C”, “D” or “E” airspace—5000.
5. Military flights in Class “G” airspace—6000.
6. Civil flights not involved in special operations or SAR, operating in Class “G” airspace
in excess of 15 NM offshore—4000.
7. Civil flights engaged in littoral surveillance—7615.
8. Ground testing by aircraft maintenance staff—2100.
9. Flights operating at aerodromes (in lieu of 1., 2., or 3. when assigned by ATC)—0100.
d. 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 their SIS/clearance request.
e. A pilot must not operate the identification function (SPI) unless requested by ATC.
f. Flights assigned a temporary discrete SSR code by ATS must squawk that code until termi-
nation of the flight sector, unless advised otherwise by ATS. If not assigned a discrete code,
the appropriate generic code must be used.
g. A pilot operating a Mode 3A/C transponder at a radar controlled aerodrome must:
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 108
PACIFIC
SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR-SSR

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 at a radar controlled aerodrome must:
1. On receipt of ATC clearance, or requesting the earlier of Push Back or Taxi, select
TA/RA/XPDR/ON AUTO as applicable to support ASMGCS operations. For aircraft that
are capable of reporting Aircraft Identification (i.e. callsign used in flight), the Aircraft’s
Identification should also be entered through the FMS or Control Panel. 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. Select TA/RA during taxi or prior to take-off if not already selected previously.
NOTE: Australia does not require TA/RA to be de-selected while aircraft is on ground.
3. After vacating the runway, select XPDR/AUTO/ALT ON as required to support
ASMGCS operations.
4. When parked and shutting down engines, select STANDBY.
5. For Mode S equipped aircraft taxiing without flight plan, Mode A code 0100 should be
selected.
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.
c. Unless instructed otherwise by ATS, pilots of military international flights are required to set
code 5000 before departure from an Australian airport.

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 124
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 125
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.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 126
PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)

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 127
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.

NEW SYDNEY AUSOTS GATES & RTS


The new gates and RTS will impact on all Sydney associated Flex Tracks. This includes: YS1A
(Singapore - Sydney), KS11 (Bangkok - Sydney), SY1A (Sydney - Singapore), XS11 (Middle East

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.

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 286
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 Global Positioning System (GPS);
h. Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN) (military locations);
i. Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) (FANS-1/A); and
j. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) (1090MHz Extended Squitter).

1.2 IDENTIFICATION
1.2.1 Radio navigation aids serving the same location normally radiate the same identification
codes. Further, at:
a. ILS/localizer installations, the normal identification is preceded by the letter “I”; and at
b. private non-accredited NDBs, a four letter identifier is radiated, the first letter being “X”.

2 NON-DIRECTIONAL BEACONS
2.1 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.

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 aerodromes.
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”.
5.1.2 TACAN is shown with the channel number above the facility name; e.g., TAC-88. The
paired VOR frequency is shown in the facility box in parenthesis; e.g., (114.1).

6 INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS)


6.1 GENERAL
6.1.1 The ILS comprises localizer equipment, glide path equipment and marker beacons, usu-
ally supported by an NDB.
CAUTION: False courses may exist or course reversals may occur outside the sector 35°
either side of the localizer course.

6.2 FAILURES
6.2.1 In the event of an NDB failure, aircraft must join the ILS outside the outer marker as direc-
ted by NOTAM or ATC.
6.2.2 In the event of glide path failure, only the localizer procedure is available.
6.2.3 Where marker beacons are not available, aircraft may use the ILS provided that the alter-
nate fixes nominated on the instrument approach chart or by NOTAM are used for altimeter
checks.

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.

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. when the localizer is out of service, the glide path will not be radiated and there will be
no identifier; or
2. when the glide path is out of service, the localizer may be radiated together with the sta-
tion identification; and
c. for newly-installed NDBs or experimental facilities, the identifier XP will be used.

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.

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.

5 AREA NAVIGATION SYSTEMS APPROVAL AND


OPERATIONS
5.1 DATA INTEGRITY
5.1.1 As a significant number of data errors in general applications occur as a result of manual
data errors, navigation aid and waypoint latitude and longitude data should be derived from a data
base, if available, which cannot be modified by the operator or pilots.
5.1.2 When data is entered manually, data entries must be crossed-checked by at least two
crew members for accuracy and reasonableness, or, for single pilot operations, an independent
check must be made (e.g., computed tracks and distances against current chart data).
5.1.3 Both manually-entered and database-derived position and tracking information must be
checked for reasonableness (confidence check) in the following cases:
a. prior to each compulsory reporting point;
b. at or prior to arrival at each enroute waypoint;
c. at hourly intervals during area-type operations when operating off established routes; and
d. after insertion of new data; e.g., creation of a new flight plan.

5.2 DATABASE CURRENCY


5.2.1 For area navigation systems that contain an updatable database, that database must be
current when the system is used for flights under the IFR/Night VFR.

5.3 OPERATIONS BELOW LSALT/MSA


5.3.1 Only data from a current validated database may be used for navigation below the LSALT/
MSA. Manually entered data must not be used for navigation below the LSALT/MSA, unless spe-
cifically authorized by the CASA.

5.4 SYSTEMS APPROVAL


5.4.1 Area navigation systems suitable for approval are based on GNSS or inertial reference.
5.4.2 Inertial area navigation systems equipment may be used operationally as the primary
means of enroute navigation only when the specific aircraft and operator have been formally
approved to do so by the CASA.
5.4.3 Approval, which may be granted by District Offices of the CASA for Australian registered
aircraft, is based on system operational accuracy determined from samples of flight data forwar-
ded to the CASA by the operator. For foreign registered aircraft, authorization is administered by
Head Office of the CASA.
5.4.4 All Australian registered aircraft fitted with an inertial system (INS or IRS) that have been
operationally approved by the CASA are permitted to flight plan and operate on Area Navigation
routes provided the airspace/route accuracy performance requirements are met. Foreign regis-
tered aircraft which have received approval from the CASA are also permitted to operate on Area
Navigation routes.

AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

WARNING: Use of area navigation systems that have not been authorized by the CASA can be
hazardous to aircraft operations and is contrary to Civil Aviation Regulations. In addition, position
information gained from area navigation systems which are not approved must not be provided to
ATC for traffic separation purposes.

5.5 GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS)


GNSS is a worldwide satellite navigation service comprising of one or more satellite constella-
tions, including GPS, aircraft receivers and integrity monitoring, augmented as necessary to ach-
ieve specific navigational performance.
5.5.1 CASA has approved various operations using GNSS avionics that receive signals from the
GPS constellation. Approvals and conditions are specific to the operation, flight crew qualifica-
tions and the systems on board the aircraft. Further guidance and legislative references may be
found in CAAP 179A-1.
5.5.2 GNSS must not be used as a navigation reference for flight below the LSALT/MSA, except
as specified in applications listed in paragraph 5.5.5, or as otherwise authorized by CASA.
5.5.3 In the event that GNSS performance degrades to where an alert is raised, or there is other
cause to doubt the integrity of GNSS information, the pilot-in-command must discontinue its use
and carry out appropriate NAVAID failure procedures.
5.5.4 VFR Operations
5.5.4.1 GNSS may be used under the VFR in the following applications:
a. Visual Navigation. Pilots operating under the VFR may use GNSS to supplement map
reading and other visual navigation techniques.
b. Night VFR Area Navigation. Pilots operating under the VFR at night may use GNSS for:
1. position fixing and long range navigation in accordance with Navigation Requirements;
2. operations on designated Area Navigation routes and application of Area Navigation-
based LSALT;
3. deriving distance information for enroute navigation, traffic information and ATC separa-
tion; and
4. meeting the Night VFR requirements for radio navigation systems, and alternate aero-
drome requirements.
NOTE: ATC may apply area navigation-based separation standards to aircraft meeting
the requirements for Night VFR area navigation.
5.5.4.2 Where GNSS is used for Night VFR area navigation applications, the flight crew must be
appropriately qualified and GNSS receivers must be certified to meet TSO-C129, C129a, C145,
C145a, C146, C146a, C196 or an equivalent standard approved by CASA.

5.5.5 IFR Operations


5.5.5.1 GNSS may be used under the IFR in the following applications:
a. DR Substitute. Pilots operating under the IFR may use GNSS in lieu of DR navigation tech-
niques for that part of the flight that is outside the rated coverage of terrestrial navigation
aids.
NOTE: This is not an area navigation approval.
b. IFR Area Navigation. Pilots operating in Australian domestic airspace under the IFR may
use GNSS for position fixing and long range navigation in accordance with Navigation
Requirements, operations on designated area navigation routes, and application of area nav-
igation-based LSALT. It may also be used for deriving distance information for enroute navi-
gation, traffic information and ATC separation. GNSS may also be used as a navigation aid
to determine distance information for SID, STAR and instrument approach procedures where
the use of GPS is specified on the IAL chart. Further, GNSS may be used to meet the IFR
requirements for radio navigation systems specified in Radio Navigation Systems.
NOTE: ATC may apply area navigation-based separation standards to aircraft meeting the
requirements for IFR area navigation.
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 294

AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

c. RNAV (GNSS) Non-precision Approach (or RNP APCH). Pilots operating under the IFR
may use GNSS as an approach navigation aid to determine distance and track information
for RNAV (GNSS) Non-precision Approach procedures.
NOTE: CAO20.91 allows for transition of current RNAV approvals to ICAO Performance
Based Navigation (PBN) approvals. Under this transition RNAV (GNSS) NPA will become
RNP APCH and are considered equivalent.
d. Oceanic Area Navigation. CASA may issue an approval for an operator to use GNSS as an
enroute navigation aid in oceanic and remote areas outside the boundaries of Australian
domestic airspace (see General Flight Procedures paragraph 6.4.3). Standard conditions for
these approvals may be found in CAO20.91.
e. GNSS Landing System (GLS). CASA may approve an operator to use GNSS GBAS as a
precision approach navigation aid.
5.5.5.2 Where GNSS is used under the IFR for applications, the flight crew must be appropri-
ately qualified, and GNSS receivers must be certified to meet any of the following TSOs: TSO-
C129, C129a, C145, C145a, C146, C146a or an equivalent standard approved by CASA.
5.5.5.3 RNAV (GNSS) non-precision approach (or RNP APCH) capability using a TSO C145a or
C146a receiver and the valid prediction of approach availability from the Airservices Australia
RAIM prediction service may be used to satisfy the requirements set out in Radio Navigation Aids
and Instrument Approach Requirements. CASA may approve other receivers and prediction tools
for these applications on the basis of equivalent safety performance.

appropriate.
6.2.3 ATC applies separation minima based on a flight’s notified navigation specification. There-
fore, pilots must notify ATC when operating with reduced navigation performance. The following
apply:
a. Operating With One Area Navigation System. The pilot must notify ATC whenever the air-
craft is operating with a single area navigation system and continue as cleared by ATC.
b. Aircraft Not Navigating to the Notified PBN approval. The pilot must notify ATC that the
aircraft can no longer navigate to the notified PBN approval.
c. Loss of All Aircraft Area Navigation Systems. The pilot should follow the contingency pro-
cedures published in ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030).
6.2.4 PBN Transitional Arrangements. CAO20.91 provides transitional arrangements for existing

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 301
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:
RADIO DATA - AUSTRALIA 302
AUSTRALIA
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.
4 Broadcast on 2863 kHz is to be implemented when operationally required.

2 AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY
2.1 The area of responsibility of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) covers the Austral-
ian FIRs and Australian external territories in other FIRs.
2.2 Meteorological watch for an area or a route is carried out by officers of the BoM by surveil-
lance of all reports for an area or route, with the object of amendment of forecasts and/or the
issue of SIGMET and AIRMET advices. Meteorological watch service is provided to the pilot-in-
command through ATS units.

3 METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
3.1 Meteorological services are provided by officers of the BoM within the types of meteorologi-
cal offices listed below:
a. Aviation Weather Centre (AWC). AWC is located within the National Meteorological and
Oceanographic Centre (NMOC) at Melbourne and originates forecasts and warnings for
operations above A100 on domestic air routes and for international operations within the
Australian region.
b. Regional Forecasting Centre (RFC). RFCs are located at State Capital cities. For aviation
requirements, RFCs originate and obtain warnings, forecasts and other relevant information
for flights with which they are concerned and maintain a meteorological watch over the aero-
dromes for which they are responsible.
c. Defence Weather Service Office (DWSO). DWSOs provide forecasts and warnings for at
least the local aerodrome. They also supply and display meteorological information and pro-
vide briefing and documentation for military aircrew.
d. Meteorological Watch Office (MWO). MWOs are located within all RFCs. They maintain
watch over meteorological conditions affecting flight operations in assigned areas and pre-
pare and disseminate SIGMET information relating to these areas.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 446
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY SERVICES

e. Meteorological Office (MO). MOs provide a range of observing and forecasting functions.
In particular, local aviation forecasting services are offered at Cairns and Canberra. The pri-
mary role of other Meteorological offices is the taking, recording and transmission of surface
and upper air observations. They do not provide meteorological briefing services to pilots,
but may assist, if required, in explaining the meaning of terms used in forecasts. With prior
notice, some of these offices may be able to assist in arranging to have documentation avail-
able.
f. Airport Meteorological Unit (AMU). Currently, the only AMU in Australia is located at
Sydney Airport. Its main function is to provide meteorological services for Sydney Airport and
support for air traffic services and users of Sydney Airport. It provides a telephone briefing
service only.
g. Meteorological Support for the National Operations Centre (NOC). This unit is located
within Airservices' NOC to provide meteorological support to the centre.
3.2 Meteorological information is available by telephone and electronic briefing systems from the
Brisbane Briefing Office. Documentation is also available by facsimile.
3.3 METAR, SPECI, TTF and TAF will generally be encoded using the international weather
code listed Weather code and translation. When these messages are passed to pilots verbally,
limited plain language will be used. See Aerodrome Weather and Forecast Decode, for other
details relating to the decoding of aerodrome weather forecasts.

3.4 ATS METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE


3.4.1 The ATS meteorological information service is contained within the Flight Information
Service (FIS).

5 TREND FORECAST (TTF)


5.1 TTFs are prepared for the following locations: Adelaide, Amberley, Brisbane, Cairns, Can-
berra, Darwin, East Sale, Melbourne, Nowra, Oakey, Pearce, Perth, Port Hedland, Rockhampton,
Sydney, Townsville and Williamtown.
NOTE: The provision of TTF at some aerodromes is limited to routine flights only. METAR/SPECI
is normally available outside these hours.
5.2 TTF is defined as an aerodrome weather report (METAR/SPECI) to which a statement of
trend is appended. The TTF relates to weather conditions expected to affect the aerodrome of
origin for the validity period of the forecast. The validity period is normally three hours, commenc-
ing at the time of observation. However, where the TTF service is not a 24 hour service, the valid-
ity period will be less than three hours during the last three hours of service. The end time of this
shortened validity period will be indicated in the remarks section, eg. USE TAF FOR ARRIVAL
AFTER 0800Z.
5.3 The TTF supersedes the TAF for its validity period and is the current forecast for pilots of
aircraft whose arrival time falls within the validity period.
5.3.1 For aerodromes where the TTF service is not a 24 hour service, the TAF will become the
valid forecast from the time indicated in the remarks section of the TTF, eg. USE TAF FOR
ARRIVAL AFTER 0800Z.
NOTE: For pilots whose arrival time falls outside the three-hour period, the TAF is the current
forecast.
5.4 Where applicable, TTF replaces TAF and present weather in VOLMET broadcasts.

6 PROVISIONAL FORECASTS
6.1 Forecasts may be prefixed “PROV” (to denote provisional) when considered likely to be defi-
cient in accuracy because origination was by a forecasting office issuing information for a location
or area not under its authority.
NOTE: The Director of Meteorology may, however, authorize the issue of provisional TAF in addi-
tional circumstances.
6.2 Provisional aerodrome forecasts will be confirmed or amended as soon as possible.

7 SIGNIFICANT FORECAST ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMS


7.1 In reports, forecasts and low level area forecasts, the amount of cloud will be indicated by
the following abbreviations:
– SKC = SKY CLEAR
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 473
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

– FEW = 1 to 2 OKTAS
– SCT = 3 to 4 OKTAS
– BKN = 5 to 7 OKTAS
– OVC = 8 OKTAS
– NSC and CAVOK = NIL SIGNIFICANT CLOUD
7.2 The only cloud types that are included in aeronautical code format are towering cumulus
(TCU) and cumulonimbus (CB). Forecasts in narrative form, such as low level area forecasts, will
continue to include cloud types other than TCU and CB when appropriate.
7.3 In the case of CB cloud, the amount will be indicated in “non-aerodrome” type forecasts as
follows:
– ISOL – ISOLATED: for individual CBs
– OCNL – OCCASIONAL: for well-separated CBs
– FRQ – FREQUENT: for CBs with little or no separation
7.4 GOOD is used in the visibility section of low level area forecasts to indicate a visibility
greater than 10km over the entire area. When weather elements are forecast to reduce the visibil-
ity below 10km, GOOD is replaced by those elements and their associated visibilities. Note that
the visibility remains greater than 10km in parts of the area unaffected by those elements.

7.5 TEMPO and INTER indicate significant variations, from the previously given mean condi-
tions, of a temporary or intermittent nature, expected during the period given in the TAF format
ddhh/ddhh, e.g. 0108/0114 (from 08 until 14 UTC on the 1st), or the TTF format hhmm/hhmm,
e.g. 0630/0900 (from 0630 until 0900 hours UTC).
a. TEMPO is used to indicate change in prevailing conditions expected to last for periods of
between 30 and 60 minutes in each instance;
b. INTER is used to indicate changes expected to occur frequently for periods of less than 30
minutes duration, the conditions fluctuating almost constantly, between the times specified in
the forecast.
7.6 The change groups FM (from) and BECMG (becoming) are used to specify significant
changes (both deteriorations and improvements) from the preceding information that are more
lasting in nature. FM is used when rapid changes are expected at the specified time, and is given
in the TAF format FMddhhmm, e.g. FM301000 (from 1000 UTC on the 30th), or the TTF format
FMhhmm, e.g. FM1815 (from 1815 UTC). BECMG is given only in TAF and is used when the
changes are expected to develop at a regular or irregular rate during the specified time period,
and is given in the format BECMG ddhh/ddhh, e.g. BECMG 3010/3011 (between 10 and 11 UTC
on the 30th) . In both cases, the new conditions will continue until the end of the validity period of
the TAF/TTF, or until replaced by another FM or BECMG.
7.7 PROB% is used to indicate an expected 30 or 40% probability of occurrence, e.g. PROB30.

AVIATION FORECASTS

8 CLOUD HEIGHT DATUM


8.1 In aerodrome and trend forecasts, cloud heights are given above aerodrome elevations. In
other forecasts, heights are expressed:
a. as a flight level; or
b. with reference to mean sea level.

9 FORECAST AMENDMENTS
9.1 Amendments to forecasts are issued as necessary when changes are expected during the
period of validity of a given forecast.

10 WIND SHEAR WARNING SERVICE


10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 Aircraft reports of wind shear encountered during climb and descent are the primary
means of detecting wind shear. The meteorological forecasting office provides advice, when pos-
sible, on the likely duration of the event and forecast low level winds.
10.1.2 Where wind shear has been observed and reported, or when from a consideration of the
meteorological situation it is assessed as a risk, then a WIND SHEAR WARNING is issued. Wind
Shear Warnings for an event will specify a validity period, and sequence numbers will be
assigned to each warning associated with an event. A Wind Shear Warning will be cancelled
when wind shear is no longer expected. This service is provided at Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns,
Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, and some defense locations.
10.1.2 When wind shear is forecast or reported by pilots at an intensity greater than “light,” this
information, together with a forecast low level wind, will be included on the ATIS at any of the
above aerodromes.

10.2 WIND SHEAR — PILOT REPORTING


10.2.1 Wind shear encountered by aircraft must be reported by pilots to ATS.
10.2.1.1 Due to cockpit workload, reports may be initially reported as WIND SHEAR and a full
report provided when workload allows.
10.2.1.2 The full report must 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
4. severe – shear causing hazardous effects to aircraft controllability.
b. a factual plain language report regarding airspeed/ground speed changes (gain or loss) or
undershoot/overshoot effects; and
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 475
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

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.
10.2.2 At non-towered aerodromes, the report should also be broadcast to all aircraft on the
CTAF and should include the name of the aerodrome.
10.2.3 The responsibility to continue an approach to land, or to take-off, following notification of
low level wind shear, rests with the pilot-in-command.

11 AERODROME WEATHER AND FORECAST DECODE


11.1 IDENTIFIER
11.1.1 METAR is used to identify routine observations (hourly or half hourly) when conditions
are at or above specified levels. SPECI is used to identify special observations; ie, observations
when conditions are below specified criteria, or when there have been significant changes since
the previous report. SPECI is also used to identify observations reported 10 minutes following an
improvement to above SPECI conditions;
11.1.2 TTF METAR or TTF SPECI is used to identify METAR or SPECI to which a trend fore-
cast is appended (see also para 5.2). The use of this identifier is restricted to those locations
which issue Trend Forecasts;
11.1.3 TAF, TAF AMD, TAF COR, TAF... CNL, TAF ... NIL and PROV TAF are used to identify
Aerodrome Forecast, Amended Aerodrome Forecast, Corrected Aerodrome Forecast, Cancelled
Aerodrome Forecast, Nil Aerodrome Forecast and Provisional Aerodrome Forecast respectively.
NOTE: Examples of message formats can be found in paragraph 11.21.

11.2 LOCATION
11.2.1 The location is indicated by the ICAO location indicator, the place name or the approved
abbreviation.

11.3 ORIGINATION TIME


11.3.1 The origination time of a TAF and METAR/SPECI is given in UTC using a six figure
group followed by the abbreviation Z.

11.4 VALIDITY PERIOD


11.4.1 The validity period of a TAF is given in UTC in the format ddhh/ddhh, where ddhh is the
day of month and hour, e.g. 0100/0206 is a validity period from 00 UTC on the 1st until 0600 UTC
on the 2nd.

11.5 AUTO
11.5.1 This group will be included when the METAR/SPECI contains only automated observa-
tions, which may include visibility, present weather, and cloud.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 476
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

11.5.2 When the Automatic Weather Station (AWS) includes sensors for horizontal visibility,
present weather and cloud, the AUTO report will include the parameters from these sensors in the
“body of the message” (where previously only manually observed visibility, present weather and
cloud data were included).
NOTE: Pilots should exercise caution when interpreting automated visibility, present weather and
cloud information as data from these instruments may not be equivalent to human observations.

11.6 WIND
11.6.1 Wind direction is rounded to the nearest 10 degrees and is given in three (3) figures relat-
ing to True North.
11.6.2 Wind speeds are given in two (2) figures.
11.6.3 When the wind is calm, the group is encoded as 00000KT.
11.6.4 A variable wind direction is given as VRB and is used when the reporting or forecasting
of a mean wind direction is not possible, such as in the following conditions:
a. Light winds (3 kt or less)
b. When forecasting a single direction is not possible; eg, with a tropical cyclone, or with the
passage of a thunderstorm, in which case the forecast wind might be, for example,
VRB60KT.
11.6.5 Maximum wind speed is given only when it is 10 kt or more greater than the mean wind
speed. It is indicated by the letter G which is followed by the maximum wind speed; eg, 280°,
mean speed 20 kt, maximum speed 35 kt, is given as 28020G35KT.

11.7 VISIBILITY
11.7.1 In TAF, the prevailing visibility (the greatest visibility coveringmore than half the aero-
drome) is always given.
11.7.2 In METAR/SPECI, if the visibility is not the same in different directions and:
a. the minimum visibility is the prevailing visibility, or
b. if the visibility is fluctuating rapidly, then the minimum visibility is the only information provi-
ded.
11.7.3 When the minimum visibility is not the prevailing visibility and the minimum visibility is
less than 5000M, both the prevailing visibility and the minimum visibility will be given. In this case
the prevailing visibility is reported first followed by the minimum visibility including an indicator to
show the general direction of the minimum visibility in relation to the observing point (the meteoro-
logical station), e.g. the visibility groups 9000 0600N indicate a prevailing visibility of 9000M and a
minimum visibility of 600M to the north.
11.7.4 A visibility of 10KM or more is given by 9999.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 477
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

11.8 AUTOMATIC VISIBILITY INFORMATION


11.8.1 A report from an AWS with a visibility sensor will include data from this sensor in the
body of the report if the report is fully automated (in which case the abbreviation AUTO is also
included in the message).
NOTE: Pilots should exercise caution when interpreting automated visibility information as it may
not be equivalent to a human observation. The information is reported as a ten minute average;
and, as it is sourced from a single instrument sampling only a very small parcel of the atmos-
phere, it may not be representative of the entire airport.
11.8.2 AWS may issue special reports (SPECI) for visibility using data from visibility sensors
(where previously only manual observations of visibility could initiate a visibility SPECI).

11.9 RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE (RVR)


11.9.1 RVR may be reported in SPECI messages from aerodromes with RVR instrumentation.
11.9.2 RVR will be reported in the format RDD/VVVVi or RDD/VVVVVVVVVi where:
a. R and V are fixed
b. DD gives the runway indicator, e.g. 36
c. VVVV gives the RVR value
d. i gives any distinct upward or downward tendency of the RVR over the averaging period,
where i can be either U (upward), D (downward) or N (nil), e.g. R36/0900U
11.9.3 When RDD/VVVVi is reported, VVVV is the average RVR. The averaging period is nor-
mally the preceding 10 minutes.
11.9.4 RDD/VVVVVVVVVi is reported when the RVR has varied significantly during the averag-
ing period. VVVVVVVVV gives the one-minute mean minimum RVR followed by V followed by the
one-minute mean maximum RVR during the averaging period, e.g. R16/0500V1100.
11.9.5 Parallel runways will be distinguished by appending to DD the letter L, C or R indicating
the left, center or right runway, respectively, e.g. R32L/0900.
11.9.6 When the RVR is greater than the maximum value which can be assessed by the system
in use, the group VVVV will be preceded by the indicator P, and VVVV will give the highest value
which can be assessed, e.g. R32L/P1900.
11.9.7 When the RVR value is assessed to be greater than 2000 meters, the group VVVV will
be reported as P2000, e.g. R32L/P2000.
11.9.8 When the RVR is less than the minimum value which can be assessed by the system in
use, the group VVVV will be preceded by the indicator M, and VVVV will give the lowest value
which can be assessed, e.g. R32L/M0100.
11.9.9 When the RVR value is assessed to be less than 50 meters, the group VVVV will be
reported as M0050, e.g. R32L/M0050.

AVIATION FORECASTS

11.10 PRESENT WEATHER


11.10.1 Present Weather is reported using the codes listed at Section 12.
11.10.2 Appropriate intensity indicators and letter abbreviations will be combined in groups of
two (2) to nine (9) characters to indicate present weather at, or in the vicinity of, the aerodrome. If
more than one form of precipitation is observed, the appropriate letter abbreviations shall be com-
bined in a single group with the first reported being the dominant type of precipitation. In such a
group, the intensity shall refer to the total precipitation.
11.10.3 Up to three (3) groups may be used to report present weather.
11.10.4 The intensity of precipitation, blowing dust, sand or snow, dust storm and sand storm
will be indicated by the prefix (-) for light (+) for heavy, and no prefix for moderate.
11.10.5 The qualifier VC will be used to report certain significant weather phenomena in the
vicinity (between approximately 8 and 16 KM of the aerodrome reference point) of the aerodrome.

11.11 AUTOMATIC PRESENT WEATHER INFORMATION


11.11.1 A report from an AWS with a present weather sensor will include data from this sensor
in the “body of the report” if the report is fully automated, in which case the abbreviation AUTO is
also included in the message. Pilots should exercise caution when interpreting automated present
weather information, as it may not be equivalent to a human observation.

11.12 CLOUD
11.12.1 Cloud height is reported in hundreds of feet using three figures; eg, 700 ft is reported as
007.
11.12.2 Cloud amount is reported using the following abbreviations:

FEW = few 1 to 2 OKTAS


SCT = scattered 3 to 4 OKTAS
BKN = broken 5 to 7 OKTAS
OVC = overcast 8 OKTAS

11.12.3 Nil cloud is reported as SKC (sky clear). Cloud information is not included in a forecast if
the sky is clear.
11.12.4 Cloud information is reported from the lowest to the highest layer or mass in accordance
with the following:
a. The lowest layer or mass, regardless of amount.
b. The next layer or mass, covering more than 2 OKTAS.
c. The next higher layer or mass, covering more than 4 OKTAS.
d. Cumulonimbus and/or towering cumulus clouds, whenever observed and not reported in a.,
b., or c. above.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 479
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

11.12.5 Type of cloud is identified only for cumulonimbus and towering cumulus observed at or
near the aerodrome. These will be given as CB and TCU respectively. When an individual layer or
mass of cloud is composed of cumulonimbus and towering cumulus with a common cloud base,
the type of cloud is reported as cumulonimbus only, and the amount shall be reported as the sum
of the CB and TCU amounts.
11.12.6 Whenever cumulonimbus cloud is forecast, the degree of associated thunderstorm
activity or probability of occurrence is included.
11.12.7 A clear sky will be indicated in a report by SKC.
11.12.8 When the sky is obscured, the cloud group is omitted and vertical visibility may be given
in the format VVhhh, where hhh is the vertical visibility in hundreds of feet. When information on
vertical visibility is not available, hhh may be given as ///, indicating that the sky is obscured but
information on the vertical visibility is not available.

11.13 CAVOK
11.13.1 CAVOK is included in the report (from staffed stations only) or forecast when the follow-
ing conditions are observed, or forecast to occur, simultaneously:
a. visibility of 10 kilometers or more;
b. Nil significant cloud, i.e. no cloud below 5,000 ft or below the highest 25NM minimum sector
altitude, whichever is greater, and no cumulonimbus or towering cumulus at any height; and
c. Nil significant weather, i.e. none of the weathers listed at paragraph 12.
When the term CAVOK is given, the elements visibility, weather and cloud will not be given.
11.13.2 In METAR/SPECI, whenever a total of BKN or more low or middle-level cloud is at or
above 5000FT, and CAVOK has been reported, the cloud amount and base will be given after the
RMK indicator.

11.14 AUTOMATIC WEATHER STATIONS WITH CLOUD INFORMATION


11.14.1 A report from an AWS with a cloud sensor will include data from this sensor in the body
of the report if the report is fully automated (in which case the abbreviation AUTO is also included
in the message). The data will be in the same form as manual reports except that:
a. NCD will be reported if no cloud is detected, and
b. there will be no indication of cumulonimbus or towering cumulus.
NOTE: Pilots should exercise caution when interpreting automated cloud information as it may not
be equivalent to a human observation. The information is reported as a thirty minute average
(with double weighting given to the last ten minutes); and, as it is sourced from a single ceilometer
sampling only the sky directly overhead, it may not be representative of the skyline.
11.14.2 AWS may issue special reports (SPECI) for cloud using data from cloud sensors (where
previously only manual observations of cloud could initiate a cloud SPECI).
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 480

AVIATION FORECASTS

11.15 SIGNIFICANT VARIATION


11.15.1 Aerodrome forecasts will include significant changes or variations (indicated by FM,
BECMG, INTER and TEMPO) to the previously given conditions when the relevant criteria are
met. These relate to improvements as well as deteriorations.
11.15.2 The variation groups TEMPO and INTER are used to indicate significant variations of a
temporary or intermittent nature. The change groups FM and BECMG are used to specify
changes that are more lasting in nature. The indicators are the beginning of a self-contained fore-
cast.
11.15.3 When reduced visibility due to fog, mist, dust, smoke or sand is forecast, but the proba-
bility is assessed at between 30% and 40%, the terms PROB30 or PROB40 are used. The term
may also be added before a TEMPO or INTER statement to express probability assessments of
thunderstorms. If greater than, or equal to, 50% probability is forecast, reference is made to the
phenomena in the forecast itself and not by the addition of the statements PROB30 or PROB40.
11.15.4 The terms NSW (NIL significant weather), SKC and NSC may be included following a
FM or BECMG to indicate significant improvements expected.
11.15.5 If a TAF or TTF includes a forecast of turbulence, its commencement will be indicated
by the abbreviation FM, and its cessation within the forecast coverage will be indicated by the
abbreviation TILL. Start and finish times are given in the format ddhhmm (day of month, hour,
minute). Turbulence associated with cumulonimbus (CB) and towering cumulus (TCU) clouds is
not included in forecast.

11.16 TEMPERATURE
11.16.1 Aerodrome weather reports contain both temperature and dew point.
11.16.2 Up to four forecast values of air temperature are given, for the times HH, HH+3 hours,
HH+6 hours and HH+9 hours, where HH is the time of commencement of the TAF validity period.
Users should use linear interpolation to determine the forecast value between these points. The
temperature forecasts are prefixed by the letter “T”.
11.16.3 Negative values are indicated by the letter M before the numeral.

11.17 QNH
11.17.1 QNH is given in whole hectopascals using four (4) figures.
11.17.2 Observed intermediate values are rounded down. QNH is always given, prefixed by the
letter Q; eg, Q0997.
11.17.3 Up to four forecast values of QNH are given, for the times HH, HH+3 hours, HH+6
hours and HH+9 hours, where HH is the time of commencement of the TAF validity period. Users
should use linear interpolation to determine the forecast value between these points. The QNH
forecasts are prefixed by the letter “Q”.

11.18 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION


11.18.1 In METAR/SPECI, supplementary information is used to report the following:
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 481
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS

a. recent weather (RE) of operational significance, and


b. wind shear (WS) information on a take-off or landing runway.

11.19 REMARKS SECTION


11.19.1 Rainfall. The remarks section of the report will include rainfall recorded by an automatic
rain gauge. The information is in the form RF##.#/###.# where the first three (3) digits after the
indicator RF will report the rainfall recorded in the 10 minutes prior to the observation time, and
the next four (4) digits report the total rainfall recorded since 0900 local time. Both amounts are
expressed in millimeters to the nearest 0.2mm.
NOTE: In situations of fine droplet precipitation, such as very light drizzle or fine mist situations,
there may not be sufficient precipitation recorded to indicate any rainfall in the last 10 minutes.
Therefore, pilots should regard automated reports of rainfall as guidance material.
11.19.2 Plain Language. Any other significant weather conditions (eg, an approaching front or
visible bushfires) are appended as plain language.

11.20 ELEMENTS NOT AVAILABLE


11.20.1 A report from a full automated AWS that does not include information from sensors for
visibility, weather, and cloud will report ////, // or ////// respectively in lieu of these parameters.

11.21 TREND FORECAST (TTF)


11.21.1 At major aerodromes, a statement of trend, valid for three (3) hours from the time of the
observation, is appended to the observation. See Aviation Forecasts, paragraph 5 for further

METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

1 METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS
1.1 AERODROME WEATHER REPORTS
Aerodrome Weather Reports are reports of observations of meteorological conditions at an aer-
odrome. The reports are generated by electronic recording devices called automatic weather sta-
tions (AWS) and may have manual input by approved observers. Manual input of visibility,
weather and cloud is for an area within a radius of approximately 5 NM of the aerodrome refer-
ence point.
1.1.1 Owing to the variability of meteorological elements in space and time, to limitations of
observing techniques and to limitations caused by the definitions of some of the elements, the
specific value of any of the elements given in a report shall be understood by the recipient to be
the best approximation to the actual conditions at the time of observation
1.1.2 Routine Reports (METAR) are issued at fixed times, hourly or half hourly, and are made
available at pre-flight briefing or on request to aircraft in flight.
1.1.3 Special Reports (SPECI) are aerodrome weather reports issued whenever weather con-
ditions fluctuate about or are below specified criteria.
1.1.3.1 At staffed stations, SPECI reports are issued when either of the following conditions are
present:
a. when there is BKN or OVC cloud covering the celestial dome below an aerodrome's highest
alternate minimum cloud base or 1500 ft, whichever is higher;
b. when the visibility is below an aerodrome's highest alternate minimum visibility or 5000m,
whichever is greater.
At non-staffed stations with cloud and visibility sensors, SPECI for cloud and visibility based on
output from these sensors may also be issued.
1.1.3.2 SPECI will also be issued under the following conditions:
a. Wind —
1. when mean direction changes by 30 degrees or more, the mean speed before or after
the change being 20 kt or more; or
2. when the mean speed changes by 10 kt or more, the mean speed before or after the
change being 30 kt or more; or
3. when gusts vary by 10 kt or more from a mean speed of 15 kt or more; or
4. when a gust exceeds the last reported gust by 10 kt or more.
b. Other conditions —
1. when any of the following begins, ends or changes in intensity — thunderstorm, hail-
storm, mixed snow and rain, freezing precipitation, drifting snow, duststorm, sandstorm,
squall, fog;
2. when wind shear at the aerodrome is observed or reported by pilots;
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 486
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

3. at the incidence of any other phenomena likely to be significant to the operation of an


aircraft;
4. when the QNH altimeter setting changes by 2 hPa or more;
5. when the temperature changes by 5 degrees C or more.
1.1.4 Take-off and Landing Reports are provided at aerodromes where a control tower is
established. This service may also be provided by a CA/GRS or UNICOM.
1.1.4.1 Take-off and landing reports are included on ATIS, where available, or passed to aircraft
reporting taxiing or inbound.
1.1.4.2 Take-off and landing reports contain, as available:
a. wind velocity, with direction in degrees magnetic;
b. altimeter setting;
c. air temperature (if appropriate to the type of aircraft);
d. low cloud, if significant;
e. visibility, if significant, in meters up to and including 5000m, above this value in kilometers. A
visibility greater than 10km is given as “VISIBILITY GREATER THAN 10km”;
f. additional items; i.e., extent of cloud below the main ceiling, disposition and intensity of rain,
reported turbulence area, etc.;
g. CAVOK — when the following conditions are observed to occur simultaneously:
1. visibility of 10km or more;
2. Nil significant cloud, i.e. no cloud below 5000 ft or below the highest 25NM minimum
sector altitude, whichever is greater, and no cumulonimbus or towering cumulus at any
height; and
3. Nil significant weather, i.e. none of the weathers listed at Weather Code and Transla-
tion.
When the term CAVOK is used, the elements d., e. and f. will not be advised.
1.1.4.3 The meteorological information provided by Air Traffic Controllers may be obtained by
observation of the whole horizon or only the area that will contain the probable flight path of an
aircraft.
1.1.4.4 Reports based on AWS data will be limited to wind direction and velocity, QNH and tem-
perature, except when a qualified observer at the aerodrome provides visually observed informa-
tion.

1.2 APPROVED OBSERVERS


1.2.1 “Approved observers” are officers of the Bureau of Meteorology, Air Traffic Controllers and
other persons on the ground approved for the purpose by the BoM and/or CASA.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 487
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

1.2.2 For the purpose of observing visibility for take-off and landing at an aerodrome, the pilot-
in-command shall be deemed an approved observer for that flight.

1.3 OBSERVING POINT


1.3.1 The location of the observing point for aerodrome weather reports is such that the mete-
orological conditions observed within visual range, or interpreted from instruments at that point,
are representative of conditions at the aerodrome.

1.4 AIRCRAFT WEATHER REPORTS


1.4.1 The pilot-in-command of an aircraft is required to observe and report enroute meteorologi-
cal conditions, for aircraft equipped with AMDAR. For this purpose, he/she is deemed an
approved observer.
1.4.2 In addition to requirements for special AIREP reports concerning meteorological conditions
likely to affect the safety of other aircraft, pilots-in-command of flights in areas where ground
meteorological reports are scanty, are encouraged to report observations of meteorological condi-
tions which they consider will assist in the provision of meteorological services.

2 METEOROLOGICAL ADVICES
2.1 SIGMET
2.1.1 SIGMET information concerns the occurrence or expected occurrence, in an area over
which area meteorological watch is being maintained, of one or more of the following:
a. thunderstorms1 ;
b. tropical cyclone;
c. hail;
d. severe turbulence;
e. severe icing;
f. severe mountain waves 2 ;
g. widespread sandstorms or duststorms;
h. volcanic ash cloud.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 488
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

1 SIGMET for thunderstorms is only issued when they are:


a. obscured (OBSC) by haze or smoke and cannot be readily seen;
b. embedded (EMBD) within cloud layers and cannot be readily recognized;
c. frequent (FRQ) with little or no separation between adjacent storms and covering
more than 75% of the area affected.
d. squall line (SQL) thunderstorms, i.e. thunderstorms along a line with little or no
space between individual clouds.
2 Mountain waves are considered severe when accompanying downdrafts of 600 ft/min or
more and/or severe turbulence is observed or forecast.

2.1.2 Pilots-in-command of aircraft encountering any of the above phenomena, not notified by
SIGMET advices, must report details of the phenomena in an AIREP SPECIAL.
2.1.3 SIGMET information is issued by MET forecasters and disseminated by ATS as an ele-
ment of ATC initiated FIS, to aircraft operating on routes or in areas likely to be affected. This
information will normally relate the phenomena reported to designated reporting points, and
where possible, will indicate the area in which the phenomena exist.
2.1.4 Responsibility for SIGMET
High level – above FL185:
– SIGMET for high level turbulence and high level icing are the responsibility of the Aviation
Weather Centre, Melbourne. These SIGMET are not issued for the area south of 50° S.
– SIGMET for Volcanic Ash Cloud is the responsibility of the BoM’s Volcanic Ash Advisory
Centre (VAAC) Darwin.
Low level – below FL185:
– Low level SIGMET issue generally corresponds to the Areas of Responsibility shown in the dia-
gram on the following page. Note that SIGMET for low-level turbulence, icing, mountain waves,
thunderstorms, hail, sandstorms and duststorms are only issued for the area covered by Area
Forecasts.

2.4.2 Pilot Reports


Pilots of aircraft crossing or intending to cross countries in SE Asia and the SW Pacific which
promulgate active volcano NOTAM, SIGMET or ADVICES should refer to special air reports para-
graph at the end of this section.

3 HAZARDOUS WEATHER
3.1 RESPONSIBILITY
3.1.1 Cooperative and concerted action is required by pilots, meteorologists and ATS to ensure
the most accurate information is promulgated to assist pilots in the avoidance of hazardous
weather, particularly volcanic ash cloud and phenomena associated with thunderstorms — icing,
hail and turbulence.
3.1.2 Meteorologists are responsible for the observation of weather phenomena and forecasting
their occurrence, development and movement, in terms applicable to aircraft operations. These
forecasts need to be produced in sufficient time for avoiding action to be taken.
3.1.3 ATS is responsible for distributing reports of hazardous meteorological conditions to pilots
as a part of the Flight Information Service. ATS also makes visual and limited radar weather
observations for the information of meteorologists and pilots, and is responsible for relaying pilot
weather reports to the Bureau of Meteorology. At some locations, ATS is provided with METRAD
or RAPIC which may supplement weather advice by ATS.
3.1.4 While maneuvering in hazardous weather situations, pilots are responsible for the safety of
their own aircraft using advices and clearances passed by ATS and information obtained from
their own visual or airborne radar observations. They are also responsible for passing visual and
airborne radar observations of hazardous weather to ATS.

3.2 PILOT ACTION


3.2.1 Outside controlled airspace, all hazardous weather avoidance action is the sole responsi-
bility of the pilot-in-command. However, in order to preserve the safety of the aircraft and other air
traffic, the pilot-in-command is requested to advise ATS of intended actions.
3.2.2 The pilot-in-command, both inside and outside controlled airspace, must advise ATS
promptly of any hazardous weather encountered or observed either visually or by radar. When-
ever practicable, those observations should include as much detail as possible including location
and severity. Hazardous weather includes, in particular, thunderstorms, severe turbulence, hail,
icing, line squalls and volcanic ash cloud.

4 AUTOMATIC METEOROLOGICAL BROADCASTS


4.1 AUTOMATIC ENROUTE INFORMATION SERVICE (AERIS)
4.1.1 The AERIS continuously broadcasts from a network of VHF transmitters installed around
Australia.
4.1.2 The information broadcast on the individual transmitters caters primarily for the needs of

4.3 AERODROME WEATHER INFORMATION SERVICE (AWIS) AND


WEATHER AND TERMINAL INFORMATION RECITER (WATIR)
4.3.1 AWIS and WATIR provide actual weather conditions via telephone and, at specified loca-
tions, broadcast. Most broadcasts are continuous (updated every minute) but some must be acti-
vated by a press-to-talk (PTT) pulse. AWIS provides information from the AWS. WATIR combines
the AWS information with additional terminal information from the airport operator.
4.3.2 Basic AWSs provide wind direction and speed, temperature, humidity, pressure setting
and rainfall. Advanced AWSs provide automated cloud and visibility.
4.3.3 Information provided in AWIS broadcasts is in similar format to that of an ATIS broadcast
and will contain some of the following additional items:
a. station identifier as a plain language station name,
b. identifier “AWS AERODROME WEATHER”,
c. wind direction in degrees Magnetic and speed in Knots,
d. altimeter setting (QNH),
e. temperature in whole degrees Celsius,
f. cloud below 12,500 ft*,
g. visibility*,
h. dew point in whole degrees Celsius,
i. percentage relative humidity, and
j. rainfall over the previous ten minutes.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 498
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES

*See Automatic Visibility and Automatic Weather Stations With Cloud Information paragraphs.
4.3.4 AWIS and WATIR information is considered to be “real time” data. When information is not
available about a particular item, either because of invalid data or an inoperative sensor, the rele-
vant element of the broadcast will be identified as “CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE”; eg, “TEM-
PERATURE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE”. When the information from the AWIS is deter-
mined as being corrupt, incomplete, or not available, a NOTAM will be issued.
4.3.5 The integrity of the barometric system in BoM-accepted AWSs is such that they are an
approved source of QNH. Therefore, QNH from these AWSs may be used in accordance with
TERMINAL INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES, QNH SOURCES.
4.3.6 When AWIS information is available after hours (AH), and the aerodrome is uncontrolled,
reference will be made to its availability in ATIS ZULU.

4.4 HAZARD ALERTS


4.4.1 Hazard Alerts contain information, assessed by ATS to have an immediate and detrimen-
tal effect on the safety of an aircraft, that could assist pilots to avoid hazardous situations. Hazard
Alerts will be:
a. broadcast on the appropriate ATS frequency as necessary. Broadcasts will normally be
made on receipt, H + 15 and H + 45 or until the availability of an updated FIS product (MET
or NOTAM) has been broadcast; and
b. directed to those aircraft maintaining continuous communications with ATS at the time the
hazard is assessed that are within one hour flight time of the hazardous conditions.

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.
4 Broadcast on 2863 kHz is to be implemented when operationally required.

TIME SYSTEM
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used for civil aviation.
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 586
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:
– Eastern Standard Time (EST), UTC + 10 hours;
– Central Standard Time (CST), UTC + 9 1/2 hours; and
– Western Standard Time (WST), UTC + 8 hours.
These times apply as follows:
a. EST is used in the States of New South Wales (except the Broken Hill area), Queensland,
Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory;
b. CST is used in the State of South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Broken Hill area;
and
c. WST is used in the State of Western Australia.
However, certain States introduce local Summer Time each year between October of that year
and March of the succeeding year, which adds an additional hour to the local time applicable in
that State.
NOTAM or AIP Supplements will be issued detailing revised hours of operation for those aero-
nautical facilities affected by local time changes during periods of State Summer Time and which
do not have such hours promulgated.

DAYLIGHT AND DARKNESS GRAPHS


“Night” is that period between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil
twilight. For all intents and purposes, first light should be construed as the beginning of civil twi-
light, and last light as the end of civil twilight. The terms “sunrise” and “sunset” have no relevance
when calculating daylight operating times for the VFR pilot.
To compute the beginning or end of daylight 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;
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 587
AUSTRALIA

f. to convert to CST, add 9 1/2 hours to UTC;


g. to convert to WST, add 8 hours to UTC.
EXAMPLE: Determine the end of daylight at Echuca (S36° 09' E144° 46') on the 20th of Novem-
ber.
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,
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.
It should be noted that the parameters used in compiling the Daylight and Darkness Graphs do
not include the nature of the terrain surrounding a location or the presence of other than a cloud-
less sky and unlimited visibility at that location. Consequently, the presence of cloud cover, poor
visibility or high terrain to the west of an aerodrome will cause daylight to end 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 end of daylight.
NAIPS automatically computes first and last light. This information can be provided through pilot
access, as part of a telephone briefing, or from FLIGHTWATCH.

1 AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES


1.1 AERONAUTICAL AUTHORITY
1.1.1 Responsibility for civil aviation in Australia and its Territories rests with two organizations:
the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Airservices Australia (Airservices). CASA is
responsible for safety regulation of all civil aviation in Australia, including the safety regulation of
Airservices’ provision of support services. Requests for advice on Australia’s civil aviation support
services including Air Traffic Services (ATS), Rescue and Fire Fighting (RFF) services, Aeronauti-
cal Information Service (AIS) and Search and Rescue (SAR) may be directed to:

1.2 AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICE (AIS)


1.2.1 The Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) is established pursuant to para 8.(1) of the
Air Services Act 1995. The AIS is responsible for the collection, collation and dissemination of
aeronautical information and instructions relating to the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navi-
gation within the areas covered.
1.2.2 An International NOTAM Office (NOF) is established at Brisbane (YBBBYNYX) for the pur-
pose of the international exchange of NOTAM.
1.2.3 Area of Responsibility — The AIS is responsible for the collection and dissemination of
aeronautical information for the entire territory of Australia and its associated airspace, and for the
airspace over the high seas encompassed by the Brisbane and Melbourne FIRs.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 626
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

1.3 PUBLISHED AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION


1.3.1 The information in this Airway Manual is extracted from Australian Aeronautical Informa-
tion Publications (AIP), which provides the primary source of information concerning rules of the
air and procedures for the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in Australian airspace. The
Airway Manual information and/or the AIP should be read in conjunction with CASRs, CARs,
CAOs and CAAPs which detail the statutory requirements.
1.3.1.1 Documents and charts issued in accordance with the AIRAC cycle become effective at
1600 hours UTC on the day prior to the nominated date unless otherwise notified; e.g., a docu-
ment with an AIRAC date 26 Jun becomes effective 06251600UTC (i.e., during Australian East-
ern Standard Time, becomes effective at 0200 hours local on 26 Jun).
1.3.2 NOTAM
1.3.2.1 Area of Responsibility
Airservices Australia’s NOTAM Office is responsible for the issuing of NOTAM. Contact details
are:

Tel: +61 7 3866 3647
E-Mail: nof@airservicesaustralia.com

1.3.2.2 NOTAM provide information that is of direct operational significance and which may
immediately affect aircraft operations. A NOTAM is issued in a format containing fields (Q) and
(A) to (G) as follows:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 627
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

This field consists of eight sub fields separated by oblique strokes.


a. 1. FIR in which the location listed in field A) is located.
b. 2. NOTAM code. This is a coded version of the subject and status of the NOTAM pre-
ceded by the letter 'Q'
c. 3. Traffic field. Signifies if a NOTAM affects IFR or VFR flights
d. 4. Purpose field. Signifies if a NOTAM is for immediate attention and/or for briefings or
concerning flight operations.
e. 5. Scope field. Signifies if the NOTAM is an aerodrome, enroute or warning NOTAM
Q
f. 6. Lower level of the activity in the NOTAM. If no level specified the default is 000.
g. 7. Upper level of the activity in the NOTAM. If no level specified, the default is 999.
h. 8. Coordinates. For location specific NOTAM, the latitude/longitude of the location lis-
ted in field A) of the NOTAM is listed. If not a specific location, the field is left blank.
Example of Q field:
Q) YBBB/QMRAU/IV/BO/A/000/999/2723S15307E
NOTE: The list of codes used in the Q) field is available in ICAO Annex 15 and Doc-8126.
Briefings obtained from NAIPS are decoded.
A Location identification.
Time of commencement of information contained in Field E; or, time of publication where
B prior notification is required. In this case, Field E commences with “WEF.. (Date/Time)..”.
This Date/Time will then reflect the actual commencement time of the NOTAM information.
Time of cessation of information. If timing is uncertain, the duration is indicated by using an
C estimated date-time group followed by EST. PERM is used in lieu of the date-time group
when the information is permanent.
D Times of periods of activity;
E Plain language text (for international NOTAM, ICAO codes are used);
F Lower limit;
G Upper limit.

1.3.2.3 In the domestic environment, NOTAM numbering is preceded by the letter “C” followed
by the year; e.g., C0689/08.
1.3.2.4 For each location, a separate series of numbers is issued, thus the NOTAM is identified
by both the location and the number, not by the number alone.
1.3.2.5 In the international environment, Australia issues NOTAM against a series of registers.
These registers are by individual FIRs, multiple FIRs, or Australia General. The individual FIRs
and multiple FIRs registers are further subdivided by NOTAM category. The series are as follows:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 628

AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

Brisbane FIR – ATS and PRD NOTAM category: D


Brisbane FIR – AD category: J
Brisbane FIR – all other NOTAM category: N
Melbourne FIR – ATS and PRD NOTAM category: E
Melbourne FIR – AD category: H
Melbourne FIR – all other NOTAM category: F
Australia General FIR: G

1.3.3 AIP Supplement (SUP) — Issued to supplement the information in the AIP when the
information is of a temporary nature, requires advanced distribution or is appropriate to the AIP
but would not be made available with sufficient rapidity by the issue of an amendment to the AIP.
1.3.3.1 SUPs which conform with the International schedule effective dates for a minimum 28
days' notice of effect have the word “AIRAC” included in the heading.
1.3.3.2 Most SUPs are addressed and disseminated to all AIP holders. The distribution can be
widened depending on content, and is advised in the SUP under the heading DISTRIBUTION.
SUPs that have relevance to only a small section of the industry will be distributed electronically
via the Airservices Australia website and/or NAIPS Aviation Facsimile (AVFAX) facility. When a
restricted distribution is required, notice to the industry is via a “trigger” NOTAM.
1.3.3.3 A checklist of current SUPs is issued monthly.
1.3.4 Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC) — AICs are used to disseminate aeronautical
information to aircrew. Usually the information is of an administrative nature and not directly con-
cerned with the present conduct of airborne operations, but may have implications for the future.
AICs contain advice which does not qualify for promulgation in AIP or NOTAM.
1.3.4.1 Some examples of information suitable for promulgation as an AIC are:
a. a long-term forecast of a major change in legislation, regulations, procedures or facilities;
b. information of a purely explanatory or advisory nature liable to affect flight safety; and
c. information or notification of an explanatory or advisory nature concerning technical, legisla-
tive or purely administrative matters.
1.3.4.2 Each AIC to be distributed in hard copy is addressed to all AIP holders and, if necessary,
those persons or organizations affected, and this selective addressing is advised in the AIC under
the heading DISTRIBUTION. AICs which address information applicable to a limited section of the
aviation community may be disseminated by AVFAX and Airservices Australia website only.
When this occurs, notification is via a “trigger” NOTAM.
1.3.4.3 Checklists of current AICs are issued monthly.
1.3.5 Preflight Information Service — A preflight information service is provided from an office
located in Brisbane. This office provides a NOTAM, meteorological and flight notification service.
Some charges are applicable.

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 (AICs
H41/01, H9/02, H8/04 and H3/06 refer and are replaced by this entry).
3.1.2 The general security situation in Australia has not changed since AIC H9/02 was issued.
Nevertheless, General Aviation (GA) and Charter (CHTR) industry personnel are urged to be par-
ticularly vigilant and alert to any activities in the industry which may arouse suspicions in regard to
possible terrorist actions.

3.2 ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY AROUSE SUSPICION


3.2.1 GA operators should be alert to the importance of reporting and/or resolving any event or

ted under the regulations from 22 December 2006.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 634
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

4.2 BACKGROUND
4.2.1 On 14 October 2006 the United Nations (UN) Security Council unanimously adopted
Security Council Resolution 1718 (SCR 1718).
4.2.2 SCR 1718 obliges member states, including Australia, to implement a range of trade,
financial and travel sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
4.2.3 The purpose of the Regulations is to give effect to SCR 1718.
4.2.4 The Regulations take effect on 10 November 2006, and specifically apply to all aircraft
registered in Australia under the Civil Aviation Act 1988 (hereafter referred to as Australian air-
craft). The Regulations have extraterritorial operation and apply to all Australian aircraft and their
owners, pilots in command or operators. The Regulations also extend beyond aircraft and apply
broadly to conduct within Australia by any person or entity, as well as to the conduct of Australian
nationals and entities overseas (whether or not the aircraft is an Australian owned or operated air-
craft).

4.3 OBLIGATIONS
4.3.1 The Regulations impose specific obligations in relation to Australian aircraft. The owner,
pilot in command or operator of an Australian aircraft must not allow the aircraft to be used in a
way that assists, or results in, the supply, sale, or transfer of military goods, weapons of mass
destruction (WMD)-related goods or luxury goods to the DPRK. A list of luxury goods is listed
below. In addition, the owner, pilot in command or operator of an Australian aircraft must not allow
the aircraft to be used in a way that assists, or results in, the procurement of military goods or
WMD-related goods from the DPRK, regardless of whether the goods originated in the DPRK.
Further, Australians working on foreign owned or operated aircraft must not engage in conduct
which assists, or results in, the supply, sale, or transfer of military goods, WMD-related goods or
luxury goods to the DPRK. Australians working on foreign owned or operated aircraft must also
not engage in conduct that assists, or results in, the procurement of military goods or WMD-rela-
ted goods from the DPRK, regardless of whether the goods originated in the DPRK.
4.3.2 These sanctions apply to the sale, supply, transfer or procurement of military goods and
WMD-related goods, and to the sale, supply or transfer of luxury goods to or from as applicable:
a. the DPRK; or
b. any recipient in the DPRK; or
c. any entity or owned or controlled by the DPRK; or
d. any person acting on behalf of the DPRK or an entity owned or controlled by the DPRK.
4.3.3 The Regulations do not apply to a sale, supply, transfer or procurement that is authorized
in writing, by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
4.3.4 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an authorization under regulation 12(3) permit-
ting the use of aircraft to engage in conduct which assists, or results in, the sale, supply or trans-
fer of luxury goods, where these goods are:
a. reasonably necessary for the functioning of the DPRK Embassy in Canberra;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 635
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

b. are the personal effects of:


1. a diplomatic agent of the DPRK accredited to Australia; or
2. a citizen of the DPRK who is otherwise entitled to be accorded privileges and immuni-
ties under the Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities Act 1967.
4.3.5 This authorization means that aircraft may carry, within Australia or to or from Australia,
luxury goods which are the personal effects of DPRK diplomats. However, it would not authorize
the carriage of luxury goods which, because of their nature or quantity, could not be considered
the personal effects of DPRK diplomats.
4.3.6 The authorization also covers luxury goods which are reasonably necessary for the func-
tioning of a citizen of the DPRK Embassy in Australia.
4.3.7 The Australian Government is recommending that Australians travelling to the DPRK
should familiarize themselves with the luxury goods restrictions. Australians travelling to the
DPRK are permitted to take items on the luxury goods list for personal use only (not for sale,
supply or transfer to others) during their visit.

5 AUSTRALIAN SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN


5.1 INTRODUCTION
5.1.1 The purpose of this section is to inform all persons operating Australian aircraft of their
obligations under the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Iran) Regulations 2007 (the Reg-
ulations) and recent amendments.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 637
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

5.2 BACKGROUND
5.2.1 On 23 December 2006 the United Nations (UN) Security Council unanimously adopted
Security Council Resolution 1737 (SCR 1737). On 24 March 2007 the UN Security Council adop-
ted Security Council Resolution 1747 (SCR 1747) imposing further sanctions on Iran.
5.2.2 SCR 1747 builds upon the sanctions imposed by SCR 1737 on 23 December 2006. SCR
1737 obliges member states, including Australia, to implement a range of trade and financial
sanctions against Iran. The purpose of the Regulations is to give effect to SCR 1737 and SCR
1747.
5.2.3 The amendments to the Regulations take effect on 15 May 2007, and specifically apply to
all aircraft registered in Australia under the Civil Aviation Act 1988, hereafter referred to as Aus-
tralian aircraft. The Regulations have extraterritorial operation and apply to all Australian aircraft
and their owners, pilots in command or operators. The Regulations also extend beyond aircraft
and apply broadly to conduct within Australia by any person or entity, as well as to the conduct of
Australian nationals and entities overseas (whether or not the aircraft is an Australian owned or
operated aircraft).

5.3 OBLIGATIONS
5.3.1 The Regulations impose specific obligations in relation to Australian aircraft. The owner,
pilot in command or operator of an Australian aircraft must not allow the aircraft to be used in a
way that results in, the supply, sale, or transfer of export controlled goods to, for the use in, or for
the benefit of Iran, or any recipient in Iran (Regulation 11(1)). In addition, the owner, pilot in com-
mand or operator of an Australian aircraft must not allow the aircraft to be used in a way that
results in, the procurement of WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) related goods or arms or
related material from Iran or from any person in Iran, regardless of whether the goods originated
in Iran (Regulation 12(1) and Regulation 12A). Further, Australians working on foreign owned or
operated aircraft must not engage in conduct which results in, the supply, sale, or transfer of
WMD-related goods to, for the use in or for the benefit of Iran, or any recipient in Iran (Regulation
7), or which results in, the procurement of WMD-related goods or arms or related material from
Iran or from any person in Iran, regardless of whether the goods originated in Iran (Regulation 10
and Regulation 10A).
5.3.2 The goods controlled in these regulations are those listed in UN Security Council docu-
ments S/2006/814 and S/2006/815 (referred to as WMD-related goods), arms or related material
as defined in the amended Regulations, and any other goods listed by the Minister for Foreign
Affairs from time to time under Regulation 18(1). Details are available on the Department of For-
eign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) website at http://www.dfat.gov.au/un/unsc_sanctions/iran.html.
5.3.3 The Regulations do not apply to a sale, supply, transfer or procurement that is authorized

6 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES


6.1 GENERAL
6.1.1 The objectives of the air traffic services are to:
a. prevent collisions between aircraft;
b. prevent collisions between aircraft on the maneuvering area and obstructions on that area;
c. expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic;
d. provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights; and
e. notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid, and
assist such organizations as required.
6.1.2 The air traffic services shall comprise three services identified as follows.
6.1.2.1 The air traffic control service, to accomplish objectives a., b. and c. of paragraph
6.1.1, this service being divided in three parts as follows:
a. Area Control Service the provision of air traffic control service for controlled flights, except
for those parts of such flights described in 6.1.2.1 b. and c., in order to accomplish objectives
a. and c. of 6.1.1;
b. Approach Control Service the provision of air traffic control service for those parts of con-
trolled flights associated with arrival or departure, in order to accomplish objectives a. and c.
of 6.1.1.

AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

6.1.2.2 The flight information service, to accomplish objective d. of paragraph 6.1.1.


6.1.2.3 The alerting service, to accomplish objective e. of paragraph 6.1.1.
6.1.3 An air traffic control service will be provided:
a. To all IFR flights in classes A, B, C, D and E airspace;
b. to all VFR flights in classes B, C and D airspace;
c. to all special VFR flights; and
d. to all aerodrome traffic at controlled aerodromes.
Furthermore, when requested, and as far as is practicable, ATC will provide VFR flights in Class
C airspace with a suggested course of action to avoid other VFR flights. Nothing in this provision
changes the responsibility of the pilot in command to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A).
6.1.4 In providing an air traffic control service, an ATC unit will issue clearances and information
for the purposes of preventing collision between aircraft under its control and expediting and
maintaining an orderly flow of traffic.
6.1.5 Clearances issued by air traffic control units will provide separation:
a. between all flights in classes A and B airspace;
b. between IFR flights in classes C, D and E airspace;
c. between IFR flights and VFR flights in Class C airspace;
d. between IFR flights and special VFR flights; and
e. between special VFR flights when so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority;
except that, when requested by an aircraft, and if so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority
for the cases listed under b. above in classes D and E airspace, a flight may be cleared without
separation being so provided in respect of a specific portion of the flight conducted in VMC.
6.1.6 Hours of operation, services provided, and identification of ATS units are published in Air-
port Directory.
6.1.7 In some circumstances, a number of services may operate under a common call-sign and
can be on a common or separate frequency:
a. DELIVERY: used by the Airways Clearance Delivery (ACD) service when established on a
discrete frequency.
b. GROUND: used by Surface Movement Control and Apron Service (if provided by ATC) when
established on a discrete frequency. At some locations, this service also provides the Air-
ways Clearance Delivery service on the same frequency.
c. TOWER: the following services use this identification:
1. Aerodrome Control.
2. Aerodrome/Approach Control when combined.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 640

quency or by Departure Control (DEP) when on the same frequency.
e. DEPARTURES: used by Departure Control (DEP) service when established on a discrete
frequency.
f. CENTER: used for Area Control (ACC) service, SIS and FIS.

7 REGULATION OF FLIGHT
7.1 ASSESSMENT OF PRIORITIES
7.1.1 ATC will regulate operations to minimize the possibility of conflict and, provided that safety
is in no way jeopardized, 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-engine 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 which has declared a mercy flight.
e. An aircraft participating in a Search and Rescue (SAR), Medical (MEDEVAC), Hospital Air-
craft (HOSP), or Fire and Flood Relief (FFR) flights shall be granted priority as necessary.
f. An aircraft operating under police call sign “POLAIR RED” or “FEDPOL RED” engaged in
operations where life is at risk.
g. An aircraft engaged in the personal transport of Heads of State or of Government, or other
selected dignitaries on official visits to Australia, or the personal transport of the Governor-
General or the Prime Minister.
h. A landing aircraft will have priority over a departing aircraft if the latter cannot take-off with
prescribed separation standards.
i. An aircraft landing or taking-off will be given priority over taxiing aircraft.
j. An aircraft which is first able to use the landing area or desired airspace in the normal
course of its operations, will be given priority except;
1. an RVSM-approved aircraft will be given priority for level requests between FL290 and
FL410 inclusive over aircraft not RVSM-approved;
2. within ATS surveillance system coverage, identified aircraft will be given priority over
non-identified aircraft;
3. when significant economic benefit would result for a number of other aircraft by defer-
ring this priority;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 641
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

4. that a flight desiring to operate in other than the normal pattern for operational reasons
will be given the same priority as other flights unless it involves a short-notice change
to a clearance already issued to another aircraft. In this case, permission to operate will
be deferred;
5. controllers may adjust priorities to consolidate a group of aircraft operating in other
than the normal pattern in order to minimize conflictions or simplify traffic management;
and
6. when prior arrangement has been made for aircraft engaged in navigation aids checks
and a priority predetermined with ATC.
7.1.2 Training flights will be given the same priority as other flights except that:
a. flights operating in the traffic pattern in general use will be given priority over flights desiring
to operate in conflicting patterns for training purposes;
b. 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.
7.1.3 Notwithstanding paragraph 7.1.1 j., during periods when all requirements for operation in a
capital city civil CTR or the overlying control area cannot be accommodated, priority will be given
in the following order:
a. with equal status:
1. scheduled commercial air transport operations;
2. non-scheduled commercial air transport operations;
3. military aircraft (other than training flights);

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 OPERATIONAL INFORMATION


8.2.1 Information about the operational aspects of the following subjects is normally available
from ATS:
a. meteorological conditions;
b. air routes and aerodromes, other than ALAs;
c. navigation aids;
d. communications facilities;
e. ATS procedures;
f. airspace status;
g. hazard alerts;
h. search and rescue services;
i. maps and charts; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 643
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

j. regulations concerning entry, transit and departure for international flights.

8.3 PREFLIGHT INFORMATION (CAR 239)


8.3.1 Before beginning a flight, the pilot-in-command must study all available information appro-
priate to the intended operation. This requirement includes all Head Office and FIR NOTAM appli-
cable to the enroute phase of flight and location specific NOTAM for aerodromes.
8.3.2 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.
8.3.3 For pilots who require an elaborative briefing, contact numbers for ATS and Bureau of
Meteorology Staff are available from the Briefing Offices.
8.3.4 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.
8.3.5 Preflight briefing will not normally be provided on ATC communications channels.

8.4 INFLIGHT INFORMATION


8.4.1 The inflight information services are structured to support the responsibility of pilots to
obtain information inflight on which to base operational decisions relating to the continuation or
diversion of a flight. The service consists of three elements:
a. ATC Initiated FIS;
b. Automatic Broadcast Services; and
c. an On-Request Service.

8.5 ATC INITIATED FIS


8.5.1 ATC initiated FIS will include the provision of pertinent operational information such as:
a. meteorological conditions and the existence of non-routine MET products;
b. changes to air routes;
c. changes to serviceability of navigation facilities, e.g. RAIM;
d. change to serviceability of communications facilities;
e. changes in conditions of aerodromes and associated facilities;
f. change to ATS procedures;
g. changes to airspace status; and
h. information on unmanned free balloons (including “Operation Hibal” activities).
NOTE: Large helium-filled plastic balloons are launched periodically from various locations in
Australia by “Operation Hibal” or the Centre National D’Etudes Spatiales (CNES).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 644
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

8.5.2 When providing FIS, ATC will not alert pilots to the availability of aerodrome weather
reports that are available from an automatic broadcast service.
8.5.3 ATC will not use directed transmissions to disseminate amended ARFOR but will broad-
cast their availability on appropriate ATS frequencies. To ensure adequate dissemination the
broadcast will be repeated in the hour following the initial broadcast at H+15 and H+45.
8.5.4 A sudden change to a component of FIS, not described in a current MET product or
NOTAM, having an immediate and detrimental effect on the safety of an aircraft will be communi-
cated by ATC using the prefix “Hazard Alert”.
8.5.5 When a change is expected to be prolonged, ATC broadcasts prefixed “Hazard Alert” will
be repeated at H+15 and H+45 in the hour following the initial transmissions. These broadcasts
will normally cease after one hour or after an updated MET product or NOTAM is available for
dissemination, whichever is earlier.

8.6 AUTOMATIC BROADCAST SERVICES


8.6.1 The automatic broadcast services consist of:
a. Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS);
b. Automatic Enroute Information Service (AERIS);
c. Automatic Weather Information Service (AWIS); and
d. Meteorological information for aircraft in flight (VOLMET).

8.7 ATIS
8.7.1 At aerodromes where ATIS is provided, the normal operational information required by air-
craft prior to take-off or landing is broadcast automatically and continuously either on a discrete
frequency or on the voice channel of one or more radio navigation aids. The broadcast may be
pre-recorded or computerized.
8.7.2 When control zones are deactivated, the ATIS may be used to broadcast operational infor-
mation of an unchanging nature. This information may include the CTAF, PAL frequency, prefer-
red runways and noise abatement procedures. It may also include the expected reopening time of
the tower. Pilots are encouraged to monitor the ATIS outside the normal hours of the tower.
8.7.3 The following information is transmitted on the ATIS:
– (aerodrome) TERMINAL INFORMATION (code letter ALPHA, BRAVO, etc, as assigned to
each separately prepared transmission. “ZULU” is not used)
– TIME (hh mm UTC)
Time of observations, if appropriate]
– Type of approach expectation; e.g., “EXPECT ILS APPROACH”, etc
– One runway in use:
RUNWAY (number), [DAMP] [WET] [WATER PATCHES] [FLOODED] (if applicable)
– or –

– More than one runway in use:


RUNWAY/S (number/s) AND (number/s) FOR ARRIVALS, RUNWAY/S (number/s) AND
(number/s) FOR DEPARTURES [DAMP] [WET] [WATER PATCHES] [FLOODED] (if applica-
ble)
Holding delay, if appropriate; e.g., “... MINUTES HOLDING MAY BE EXPECTED”, etc
(when being used) LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS, LOW VISIBIL-
ITY PROCEDURES IN PROGRESS
CURFEW RUNWAY NOMINATION (when runway/s nominated due to Noise Abatement legis-
lation and the crosswind and/or downwind component is in excess of that specified in NOMINA-
TION OF RUNWAYS paragraph in DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCE-
DURES)
WIND ... / ...
– WIND DIRECTION quoted as either:
a. SINGLE MEAN DIRECTION
b. TWO VALUES representing variation in wind direction will be given whenever:
1. the extremes in wind direction vary by 60 degrees or more, or
2. the variation is considered to be operationally significant (e.g., the variation is less
than 60 degrees, but the variation from the mean results in either a downwind and/or
significant crosswind component on a nominated runway)
c. VARIABLE will be used when the reporting of a mean wind direction is not possible, such
as:
1. in light wind conditions (3 kt or less) or
2. the wind is veering or backing by 180 degrees or more (e.g., passage of thunder-
storms, or localized wind effect).
– WIND SPEED quoted as either:
a. CALM (less than 1 kt, e.g., “WIND CALM”)
b. SINGLE MEAN VALUE whenever the extremes between minimum and maximum are 10
kt or less (e.g., “WIND 250 DEGREES, 25 KNOTS”)
c. TWO VALUES REPRESENTING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUES whenever the
extremes in wind vary by more than 10 kt (e.g., “WIND 250 DEGREES MINIMUM 15
KNOTS, MAXIMUM 28 KNOTS”).
NOTE: When quoting a wind with variations in speed and direction, the above criteria may
be varied in order to indicate the true crosswind and/or downwind.
Where threshold wind analyzers are installed and the wind at the threshold of a duty runway
varies from that of the central wind analyzer or the threshold wind on the other duty runway by
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 646
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

the criteria specified for the revision of ATIS, threshold winds may be broadcast on the ATIS;
e.g., THRESHOLD WIND RUNWAY (number) ... / ..., RUNWAY (number) ... /...
– VISIBILITY (distance is reported as appropriate:
a. >10km – “GREATER THAN WUN ZERO KILOMETERS” or actual distance “... KILOME-
TERS”
b. Greater than 5km and up to and including 10km – “... KILOMETERS”;
c. Up to and including 5000m – “... METERS”; and
d. between 1500m and 800m – RVR may be reported; 800m or less – RVR will be reported.
Multiple RVR observations are always representative of the touchdown zone, midpoint zone,
and the roll-out/stop end zone, respectively.
– PRESENT WEATHER (as applicable; e.g., showers in area)
– or –
– CAVOK
– CLOUD (below 5000 ft or below MSA, whichever is greater; cumulonimbus, if applicable; if the
sky is obscured, vertical visibility when available).

c. PROBABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM 0415 TO 0430 — FORECAST WIND AT 200
FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL 110 DEGREES 50 KNOTS.

8.8 AERIS
8.8.1 The Automatic Enroute Information Service continuously broadcasts routine meteorologi-
cal reports (METAR) from a network of VHF transmitters installed around Australia.
8.8.2 The information broadcast on the individual transmitters caters primarily for the needs of
aircraft operating in control areas within VHF range of the facility.
8.8.3 The network frequencies and the operational information menus are contained in METE-
OROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES.

8.9 AERODROME WEATHER INFORMATION SERVICE (AWIS) AND


WEATHER AND TERMINAL INFORMATION RECITER (WATIR)
8.9.1 AWIS and WATIR provide actual weather conditions, via telephone and broadcast, from
sites which use Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) AWS equipment, or other AWSs that have met
BoM standards for acceptance into its network. AWIS provides information from the AWS. WATIR
provides the AWS information with additional terminal information from the airport operator.
8.9.2 More detail on AWIS and WATIR is contained in METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVI-
SORIES.

8.10 VOLMET
8.10.1 VOLMET broadcasts, prefixed by the designator “VOLMET”, provide meteorological
information for Australian major international aerodromes and Townsville.
8.10.2 Information on VOLMET is contained in METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISO-
RIES.

8.11 ON REQUEST SERVICE – ATC AND FLIGHTWATCH


8.11.1 An On-Request FIS is available to aircraft in all classes of airspace on ATC VHF or HF
(Domestic and International) frequencies.
8.11.2 Pilots must prefix any request for FIS on ATC VHF frequencies with the callsign of the
appropriate ATC unit and the generic callsign “FLIGHTWATCH”, e.g. “MELBOURNE CENTRE
FLIGHTWATCH REQUEST ACTUAL WEATHER (location)”.
8.11.3 Due to workload considerations, ATC may re-direct pilot requests for FIS to an alternative
VHF frequency or Flightwatch HF.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 648
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

8.11.4 When operating on Domestic HF (callsign “FLIGHTWATCH”) and International HF (call-


sign “BRISBANE”), pilots must include the frequency on which they are calling, e.g. “(FLIGHT-
WATCH or BRISBANE), ROMEO JULIET DELTA, SIX FIVE FOUR ONE, REQUEST ACTUAL
WEATHER (location)”.
8.11.5 Information will be provided in an abbreviated form, paraphrased into brief statements of
significance. The full text of messages will be provided on request.

8.12 WEATHER RADAR


8.12.1 Weather radar data derived from BoM radar sites is displayed at various ATS working
positions by means of a PC-based system known within Airservices as METRAD, and within the
military as RAPIC.
8.12.2 METRAD / RAPIC images are not ‘real time’, but are the results of a ten minute update
cycle. The most effective range of the radars is up to 75 NM.
8.12.3 Weather radar sites, which may be utilized by ATS, are shown below. Weather radar
information within 75 NM of radar sites is available to pilots, subject to ATS workload, on request

METEOROLOGY– Weather Watch Radars and AWIS Sites

8.12.4 When providing METRAD / RAPIC information to pilots, ATS officers will use the prefix
“MET RADAR DISPLAY INDICATES . .”.

8.13 TRAFFIC INFORMATION


8.13.1 A traffic information service will be provided, where applicable, depending on higher pri-
ority duties of the controller or other limitations; e.g., surveillance limitations, volume of traffic, fre-
quency congestion, or controller workload. Traffic information does not relieve pilots of their
responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. Pilots are cautioned that there are many times when
the controller is not able to give traffic information concerning all traffic in the aircraft’s proximity;
in other words, when a pilot requests or is receiving traffic information, he/she should not assume
that all traffic will be issued.
8.13.2 Traffic information may be based on:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 650
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

a. visual observation;
b. identified and non-identified aircraft targets on an ATC situation display; or
c. verbal reports from pilots or other facilities.

8.14 TRAFFIC INFORMATION IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


8.14.1 In controlled airspace when a separation standard does not exist, ATC will provide traffic
information to the aircraft concerned when, in the opinion of the Air Traffic Controller, the informa-
tion is warranted by the proximity of the aircraft.
8.14.2 The traffic information provided will contain as much information as is known and is nec-
essary to assist the pilot in identifying the other aircraft; e.g.:
a. type;
b. altitude;
c. position, either by clock reference, bearing and distance, relation to a geographical point or
reported position and estimate;
d. intentions or direction of flight.
8.14.3 ATC will provide relevant traffic information to aerodrome traffic to enable pilots, while
complying with ATC instructions, to maintain separation from other aircraft.
8.14.4 At military aerodromes traffic conditions may preclude the transmission of a complete
traffic information service to individual aircraft.

8.15 TRAFFIC INFORMATION IN CLASS G AIRSPACE


8.15.1 In Class G airspace, a traffic information service is provided to IFR flights about other
conflicting IFR and observed VFR flights. MLJ flights are considered to be IFR for traffic purposes
regardless of flight planned category. Services provided may be based on ATS surveillance
system data where coverage exists.
8.15.1.1 An IFR flight reporting taxiing or airborne at a non-towered aerodrome will be advised
of conflicting IFR traffic which is not on the CTAF.
8.15.1.2 An IFR flight inbound to a non-towered aerodrome will be advised of conflicting IFR
traffic. The ATS obligation to provide the pilot with traffic information ceases when the pilot reports
changing to the CTAF.
8.15.1.3 Traffic information will continue to be provided about an IFR flight following cancellation
of its SARWATCH, until expiry of the flights ETA. Traffic information may be provided to an IFR
pilot who has cancelled SARWATCH where workload and communications permit.
8.15.2 In accordance with the preceding paragraphs, traffic information will be provided to IFR
flights when:
a. requested;
b. notifying intention to change level;
c. reporting either taxiing or airborne or departure, whichever is first; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 651
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

d. the ATS officer becomes aware of conflicting traffic.


8.15.3 Pilots of IFR flights should advise ATS of the call--sign(s) of relevant IFR traffic, previ-
ously intercepted, to avoid receiving the same traffic information from ATS.
8.15.4 Traffic information will be provided in accordance with the preceding paragraphs when-
ever there is a possibility of confliction between aircraft in the following situations:
a. aircraft that climb, descend or operate with less than 1,000 ft vertical spacing and less than
15 NM lateral or longitudinal spacing;
b. overtaking or opposite direction aircraft on the same or reciprocal tracks with less than 1,000
ft vertical spacing and less than 10 minutes longitudinal spacing based on pilot estimates;
c. more than one aircraft arriving at, or departing from, the same aerodrome with less than 10
minutes between arrival and/or departure and falling within these guidelines.
8.15.5 When the traffic assessment is based entirely on the use of an ATS surveillance system,
traffic information will be provided when, in the opinion of the controller, it is warranted by the
proximity of the aircraft to each other.
8.15.6 Having regard to sub-paras 8.15.4 a. and b. above, traffic information will be based on
aircraft having less than 2,000 ft vertical spacing:
a. in areas where severe turbulence has been reported,
b. where aircraft are operating above FL290,
c. due to different altimetry rules, at some oceanic limits of Australian FIRs.
8.15.7 Traffic information will include relevant factors from the following:
a. the identification of the conflicting aircraft;
b. the aircraft type;
c. route of the aircraft;
d. the last position report received from the aircraft;
e. intentions of the pilot (if known), and, as required;
f. the aircraft’s initial departure track and intended cruising level;
g. inbound track or direction, level and next estimate; and
h. any other data which may enhance the value of the information.
8.15.8 Pilots intercepting broadcasts from aircraft in their vicinity which are considered to be in
potential conflict with their own aircraft must acknowledge intercept by transmitting own call sign
and, as appropriate, aircraft type, position, actual level and intentions.
8.15.9 Traffic information in respect of military aircraft operating on LJRs may refer to the flight
as “military low jet operations”.
8.15.10 When an aircraft is instructed by an ATS unit to standby for traffic, the pilot should con-
tinue to monitor the frequency until traffic information is received.

8.16 SURVEILLANCE INFORMATION SERVICE (SIS) TO VFR FLIGHTS IN


CLASS E AND CLASS G AIRSPACE
8.16.1 SIS is available, on request, to VFR flights in classes E and G airspace within ATS sur-
veillance system coverage, subject to ATC workload. The SIS is available to improve situational
awareness and assist pilots in avoiding collisions with other aircraft.
8.16.2 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.
8.16.3 VFR pilots receiving a SIS will be provided with traffic information and, upon request,
position or navigation information.
NOTE: All information is advisory in nature, and the pilot remains responsible for the safe opera-
tion of the aircraft. Terrain clearance, aircraft-to-aircraft separation, and obtaining clearances into
controlled airspace remain pilot responsibilities.
8.16.4 Pilots of VFR flights receiving a SIS will be provided with information about ATS surveil-
lance system observed traffic. However, due to the nature and type of ATS surveillance system
coverage, not all aircraft will be detected, and not all aircraft are equipped with a SSR transponder
or ADS–B transmitter. Consequently, traffic information provided by ATC may be incomplete.
Pilots must comply with the see-and-avoid requirements of CAR163A.
8.16.5 ATC will provide an alerting service for flights receiving a SIS.
8.16.6 On initial contact with ATC, the pilot must advise the ATS surveillance service required
and, if an ongoing service is requested, include the phrase “REQUEST FLIGHT FOLLOWING”.
8.16.7 When ATC respond to this request, the pilot must advise position, level, and intentions.
8.16.8 The SIS commences on ATC notification of identification, and ATC may also assign a
specific transponder code prior to, or during, the provision of the SIS.
8.16.9 If ATC are unable to provide a SIS, the pilot will be advised “SURVEILLANCE SERVICE
NOT AVAILABLE”. Requests for emergency assistance should be prefixed by “MAYDAY” (three
times) or “PAN PAN” (three times), and will receive priority.
NOTE: Many factors, such as the limitations of radar and ADS–B, volume of traffic, ATC workload
and frequency congestion may prevent ATC from providing surveillance service. The reason for
not providing or continuing to provide the service in a particular case is not subject to question,
nor need it be communicated to the pilot.
8.16.10 If, following a request for a SIS, a request for flight following is not made, and the
requested information has been provided to the pilot, ATC will advise “IDENTIFICATION TERMI-
NATED” to indicate that the surveillance service is terminated.
NOTE: When ATS surveillance services to VFR flights are terminated, pilots should monitor the
ATS frequency appropriate to their area of operation.
8.16.11 If the pilot has requested flight following, the SIS will be provided on an ongoing basis,
and generally limited to within the controller’s area of responsibility. However, the SIS may be ter-
minated at any time by the controller, or by pilot advice.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 653
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

8.16.12 Whilst receiving a SIS, the pilot must:


a. maintain a continuous listening watch with ATC and advise prior to leaving the frequency;
and
b. advise ATC prior to any changes to track or level.
8.16.13 Approaching the boundary of the controller’s area of responsibility, the pilot will gener-
ally be advised “IDENTIFICATION TERMINATED, FREQUENCY CHANGE APPROVED”. If a
continued service is requested, the pilot must advise “REQUEST HAND-OFF FOR FLIGHT FOL-
LOWING” and, subject to the approval of the adjacent ATC unit, the pilot will be instructed to
change frequency for continuation of the SIS.

9 TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)


9.1 TIBA PROCEDURES
9.1.1 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.

9.2 FREQUENCY
9.2.1 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.
9.2.2 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 FIA frequency;
2. otherwise 126.35 MHz.

9.3 LISTENING WATCH


9.3.1 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 aerodrome
located within 10 minutes flying time of that airspace, listening watch must start as soon as practi-
cable after takeoff.

9.4 TIME OF BROADCASTS


9.4.1 Broadcasts must be made:
a. 10 minutes before entering the designated airspace or, for an aircraft taking off from an aero-
drome located within 10 minutes flying time of the airspace, as soon as practicable after
takeoff;
b. 10 minutes prior to crossing a reporting point;
c. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS contingency route;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 654
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

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.

9.5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BROADCASTS


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

9.6 CHANGES OF CRUISING LEVEL


9.6.1 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.
9.6.2 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.
9.6.3 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.

9.7 COLLISION AVOIDANCE


9.7.1 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.
9.7.2 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 aerodrome or in conditions of
reduced visibility.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 655
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

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).

9.8 POSITION REPORTING


9.8.1 Normal position reporting procedures should be continued at all times, regardless of any
action taken to initiate or acknowledge a traffic information broadcast.
9.8.2 A position report must be made on the next CTA/FIA frequency 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.

10 INFORMATION BY PILOTS
10.1 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.
10.2 When a landing is made on a water-affected runway, the pilot is requested to advise ATS
of the extent of water on the runway and the braking characteristics experienced.
10.2.1 The following terms should be used to describe water on a runway:
DAMP — The surface shows a change of color due to moisture;
WET — The surface is soaked but there is not standing water;
WATER PATCHES — Patches of standing water are visible;
FLOODED — Extensive standing water is visible.
10.2.2 The following terms should be used to describe braking characteristics experienced:
GOOD — Pilots should not expect to find the conditions as good as when operating on a dry
runway but should not experience any directional control or braking difficulties because of runway
conditions;
MEDIUM — Braking action may be such that the achievement of a satisfactory landing or acceler-
ate-stop performance, taking into account the prevailing circumstances, depends on precise han-
dling techniques;
POOR — There may be a significant deterioration both in braking performance and directional
control.
10.3 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.
10.4 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 656
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

10.4.1 Pilots are invited to assist Customs by reporting activities which appear to warrant
recording or investigation. Reports should be made to the in-contact ATS unit. Observations war-
ranting 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-aerodrome sites or unexplained or unusual activity at aero-
dromes 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.
10.4.2 Such reports should be elaborated on at debriefing.
10.5 Observed volcanic activity must be included in an AIREP.
10.6 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.
10.6.1 Air crews flying in Class G airspace are also requested to immediately broadcast a gen-
eral laser illumination caution on the appropriate CTAF. This general caution should include the
following elements:
Phrase “UNAUTHORIZED LASER ILLUMINATION EVENT(s) HAS/HAVE BEEN REPORTED”
(general positional information including location and altitude)

11 ALERTING SERVICE
11.1 An Alerting service will be provided:
a. for all aircraft provided with air traffic control 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 657
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES

c. to any aircraft known or believed to be the subject of unlawful interference.

12 SAFETY ALERTS AND AVOIDING ACTION


12.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
12.1.2 In surveillance coverage ATC will issue avoiding action advice to an aircraft as a priority,
when they become aware that an aircraft is in a situation that is considered to place it at risk of a
collision with another aircraft.
12.1.3 ATC will not issue a Safety Alert or avoiding action advice when the pilot has already
advised action is being taken to resolve the situation or has reported the other aircraft in sight.
12.1.4 ATC will prefix advice to turn or change level with “suggest” unless the alerts are for con-
trolled flights.

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.
1.1.3 Controlled airspace is established generally on the basis of traffic density, substantial RPT
turbojet operations, and considerations of flight procedures. Such airspace does not necessarily
cover routes to alternate aerodromes.
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;
Class A – an area extending from 90 NM south of Melbourne to Launceston and Ho-
bart, lower limit of FL180 and upper limit FL600; and
– active military Restricted areas above FL285.
– within radar coverage south of Sydney, lower limit FL125 and upper limit
FL180 under Class A airspace;
– in the control area steps associated with controlled aerodromes, excluding
Class C control area steps classified as Class D airspace;
– in control zones of defined dimensions; and
– active military Restricted areas at and below FL285 unless specified other-
wise.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 659
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 FL180 under Class A
airspace;
– in the vicinity of Williamtown/Newcastle: coincident with the lateral limits of
R578A–E above A045 – when R578 is not active;
Class E
– outside radar coverage within continental Australia, lower limit FL180 and up-
per limit FL245 under Class A airspace;
– an area extending from 90 NM south of Melbourne to Launceston and Ho-
bart, lower limit FL125 and upper limit FL180 under Class A airspace; and
– in two corridors: Sydney to Dubbo, lower limit FL125 and upper limit FL180;
and Melbourne to Mildura, lower limit FL125 and upper limit FL180, under en-
route Class E airspace.

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 aerodrome 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.
When airspace classes adjoin laterally, 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 660
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

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 aerodromes and are desig-
nated 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.
1.4.2 In accordance with CAR 92 (1) (c), pilots must obtain prior permission from the appropriate
military authority before landing at any military aerodrome (see Airport Directory). This does not
apply to joint-user aerodromes; Darwin and Townsville.

1.5
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.
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).
b. For control areas or control zones — in accordance with the airspace classification for the
airspace when it is active.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 661
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

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 aerodromes, 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 categorisation (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.
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;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 662
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

2. the pilot must advise ATC when he/she is unable to maintain, or has lost, sight of the
other aircraft;
3. where an aircraft has been instructed to maintain separation from, or pass behind, 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.
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.

3.2 THE COMMON TRAFFIC ADVISORY FREQUENCY (CTAF) AND


PROCEDURES AT NON-TOWERED AERODROMES
3.2.1 The CTAF is the frequency on which pilots operating at a non-towered aerodrome should
make positional radio broadcasts. If a discrete frequency is not listed use Multicom 126.7. These
frequencies are not normally monitored by ATS.
3.2.2 To achieve the greatest degree of safety, CAR166C requires pilots of aircraft carrying a
serviceable radio which they are qualified to use, to make a broadcast whenever it is reasonably
necessary to do so to avoid a collision, or the risk of a collision with another aircraft at a non-tow-
ered aerodrome. In certain circumstances carriage of radio and being qualified to use it are man-
datory.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 663
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

3.2.3 Pilots of higher performance aircraft, or pilots operating at busy aerodromes, are encour-
aged to monitor/broadcast on the CTAF earlier to allow sufficient time to gain situational aware-
ness on the traffic.
3.2.4 The responsibility for collision avoidance, sequencing, and knowledge of local procedures
lies solely with the pilot in command.
3.2.5 Aircraft overflying a non-towered aerodrome should avoid the circuit area, and the routes
commonly flown by arriving and departing traffic.
3.2.6 Where a number of non-towered aerodromes are in close proximity, a single discrete
CTAF may be allocated to those aerodromes.
3.2.7 COMMUNICATIONS para 1.2 lists the broadcasts for operations at non-towered aero-
dromes. DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES paragraphs 6, 6.4 and 6.5
detail the communication requirements for operations at non-towered aerodromes. Where a dis-
crete CTAF is prescribed, these frequencies are shown in Airport Directory and Low enroute
charts. Where no specific frequency is prescribed the default CTAF is 126.7MHz.
3.2.8 When a UNICOM service is provided at a non-towered aerodrome and the Unicom is the
CTAF, Airport Directory identifies the frequency as CTAF/Unicom.

3.3 BROADCAST AREAS


3.3.1 Broadcast Areas are defined airspace volumes in Class G airspace for which a discrete
frequency (CTAF) has been allocated. All operations, including those at aerodromes (charted and
uncharted) and landing sites within this area shall use this CTAF as the broadcast frequency. The
default vertical limit of a Broadcast Area is 5000 ft AMSL.
NOTE: The conditions described at paras 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 apply.
3.3.2 The vertical boundaries of a Broadcast Area:
a. Surface to 5000 ft AMSL; or
b. Surface to the base of CTA if 8500 ft or less; or
c. Surface to a nominated level.
3.3.3 The lateral and vertical boundaries are defined in AIP MAP.

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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 664
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

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.
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

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 665
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

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.
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.
Civil aircraft operating in military Restricted areas or airspace in which a military service is provi-
ded 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 666
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION

4.4 DEACTIVATION OR EXTENSION OF RESTRICTED OR DANGER


AREAS
4.4.1 The published cessation time of a Restricted or Danger Area may be amended:
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 The published cessation time of a Restricted or Danger Area classified for flying activities
may be extended at short notice with subsequent issue of a NOTAM.
4.4.3 Pilots submitting flight plans to operate on routes affected by short notice Restricted Area
extension will be afforded increased priority to access the restricted area for one hour after the
original published cessation time.
4.4.4 Any amendments to the published cessation time of a Restricted or Danger Area will be
notified to affected pilots in accordance with ATC initiated FIS.
4.4.5 Non-towered aerodrome procedures apply to all military aerodromes when the CTR is
deactivated.
NOTE: Short notice means less than one hour notice.
4.4.6 Access to a PRD area may be available if the activity for which it has been activated has
ceased (early deactivation). Pilots should check the status of the area with the ATC authority
mentioned in the activation NOTAM.

5 LANES OF ENTRY
5.1 Lanes of entry are established to permit passage to and from specified Class D CTR without
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 AERODROMES


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 AERODROMES
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 A pilot-in-command must plan the flight to comply with the following conditions for the use
of an aerodrome, including an alternate aerodrome:
a. an aircraft must not take off or land at a place not suitable for the purpose under CAR 92(1)
(not published herein) and, if engaged on an international flight, at a place not designated as
an international aerodrome or international alternate aerodrome;
b. unless otherwise approved, an aircraft must not take off or land at an aerodrome at night
unless the following lighting is operating:
1. for a PVT, AWK, or CHTR aircraft: runway edge lighting; threshold lighting; illuminated
wind direction indicator; obstacle lighting when specified in local procedures;
2. for an RPT aircraft: the aerodrome lighting specified in (1) above plus taxiway lighting
and apron floodlighting, all lighting to be electric;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 670
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

NOTE: In the event that an illuminated wind direction indicator is not available, aircraft
may continue to operate if wind velocity information can be obtained from an approved
observer.
c. an aircraft must not take off or land at an aerodrome when the surface or strength of the
maneuvering area is unsuitable for operations of the aircraft type.

2.2 RUNWAY WIDTH


2.2.1 Regulation 235A of the Civil Aviation Regulations specifies the minimum runway width
required for airplanes.
2.2.2 Interpretation:
a. An airplane’s reference field length is:
1. in the case of an airplane to which section 20.7.1B of the Civil Aviation Orders applies
(not published herein) — the balanced field length; or
2. in the case of any other airplane — the take-off distance that the airplane requires for
take-off in accordance with paragraph b. below.
b. For the purposes of a.(1) and (2) above, the balanced field length or take-off distance that an
airplane requires for take-off is the balanced field length or take-off distance that, according
to its flight manual, the airplane requires:
1. on a level runway;
2. at maximum take-off weight;
3. in still air;
4. at sea level; and
5. in standard atmospheric conditions.
c. An airplane’s code number is the number set out in column 1 of the following Table opposite
the range of distances in column 2 of the Table that includes the airplane’s reference field
length.
d. To work out an airplane’s code letter:
1. determine its wing span and outer main gear wheel span; and
2. then determine:
(a) which letter in column 3 of the following Table is opposite the range of wing spans
in column 4 of the Table that includes the airplane’s wing span; and
(b) which letter in column 3 of the Table is opposite the range of outer main gear
wheel spans in column 5 of the Table that includes the airplane’s outer main gear
wheel span.
e. If the same letter is determined under sub-paragraph d.(2)(a) and (b), that letter is the air-
plane’s code letter.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 671
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

f. If different letters are determined under sub-paragraph d.(2)(a) and (b), the airplane’s code
letter is the one that occurs later in the alphabet.

2.2.3 Minimum Runway Width for an Airplane


2.2.3.1 Subject to paragraph 2.2.4, the minimum runway width for an airplane is the distance
specified in the following Table at the intersection of:
a. the row in the Table that specifies the airplane’s code number; and
b. the column in the Table that specifies its code letter.

2.2.4 For other than agricultural operations, a minimum runway width of 15m is recommended
for aeroplanes with a maximum take-off weight not more than 5,700kg. Aeroplanes with a maxi-
mum take-off weight not exceeding 2,000kg can be operated safely on runways as narrow as
10m provided there is no, or only light, cross-wind. For agricultural operations, a 10m wide
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 672
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

runway is the recommended minimum. Additional guidance material on minimum requirements for
landing areas for aeroplane operations can be found in CAAP 92-1(1) [not published herein].
2.2.5 The CASA may require an aircraft to operate from a runway wider than that determined
from the Table in paragraph 2.2.3 when it is satisfied that the displayed airplane handling perform-
ance during take-off and/or landing warrants that such a restriction be imposed.
2.2.6 When considering the performance of an airplane on a gravel, grass or natural surface
runway which has a central sealed surface, the unsealed surface should be the determining sur-
face.

2.3 GRADED RUNWAY STRIP


2.3.1 Except as otherwise authorized in writing by the CASA, the minimum width of a graded
runway strip shall be:
a. Code 4 runway — 150m
b. Code 3 runway — 90m
c. Code 2 runway — 80m
d. Code 1 runway — 60m

2.4 AERODROME LIGHTING


2.4.1 When aerodrome lighting is required and pilot activated lighting is not being used, the
pilot-in- command or operator must ensure that arrangements have been made for the lighting to
be operating during the following periods:
a. Departure: from at least 10 minutes before departure to at least 30 minutes after take-off;
b. Arrival: from at least 30 minutes before ETA to the time landing and taxiing has been com-
pleted.
2.4.2 The above shall apply to runway, obstacle and taxiway lighting.
NOTE 1: An operator planning a flight by an aircraft with tire pressures and/or weight in excess of
that permitted must ensure that a pavement concession is obtained.
NOTE 2: Emergency Landings: When safety is involved, the nearest aerodrome 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: Mercy Flights: Decisions should be made in accordance with the degree of urgency
involved. Severe overloading of pavements is acceptable if the safety of patients, crew and air-
craft is not thereby jeopardized.
NOTE 4: Aerodrome lighting at an aerodrome where a control tower is operating will be activated
by ATC as necessary. Pilots requiring aerodrome 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 aerodrome operator. Confirmation
should be obtained that requests for lighting will be satisfied.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 673
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

NOTE 5: A pilot having made arrangements with ATS for night lighting must notify any change in
requirements.
NOTE 6: Aerodrome lighting at non-controlled aerodromes should be arranged direct with the aer-
odrome operator, or by using PAL facilities, if available.

3 ALTERNATE AERODROMES
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 A pilot in command must make provision for flight to an alternate aerodrome, when
required, in accordance with the following paragraphs.
3.1.2 When a flight is required to provide for an alternate aerodrome, any aerodrome may be so
nominated for that flight provided:
a. it is suitable as a destination for that flight; and
b. it is not an aerodrome for which that flight would require to provide for an alternate aero-
drome.
3.1.3 When an aerodrome forecast is not available or is “provisional,” the pilot in command must
make provision for a suitable alternate that has a firm 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 aerodrome when arrival at
the destination will be during the currency of, or up to 30 minutes prior to the forecast commence-
ment of, the following weather conditions:
a. cloud — more than SCT below the alternate minimum (see paragraphs 3.2.11 and 3.2.12);
or
NOTE: In determining requirements for alternate aerodromes, 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 a percent-
age probability of fog, mist, dust or any other phenomenon restricting visibility below the
alternate minimum; or
d. wind — a crosswind or downwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft.
NOTE: Wind gusts must be considered.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 674
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

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 aerodrome 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 aerodrome 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 additional fuel is
carried to allow the aircraft to hold for:
a. 30 minutes for intermittent deterioration (INTER); and
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 additional 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 additional fuel required by paragraphs 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 must be carried when the ETA of
the aircraft at its destination or alternate falls within the period 30 minutes before the forecast
commencement of these deteriorations to either:
a. 30 minutes after the forecast cessation of these deteriorations; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 675
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

b. sufficient fuel is carried to hold until 30 minutes after the forecast time of cessation of these
deteriorations.
3.2.9 Due to the continuous weather watch provided by TTF, the 30 minute buffers required by
paragraphs 3.2.7 and 3.2.8 do not apply. Flights which will be completed within the time of validity
of the TTF may be planned wholly with reference to the destination TTF.
3.2.10 TTF may have either one visibility or two visibilities included in the report. Operational
requirements will apply when:
a. the sole visibility is less than the alternate minimum; or
b. the higher visibility is less than the alternate minimum.
3.2.11 Flights which cannot use TTF will plan the flight on the current TAF until such time as the
destination ETA falls within the validity period of a TTF.
3.2.12 For IFR flights the alternate minima are as follows:
a. For aerodromes with an instrument approach procedure, the alternate minima published on
the Jeppesen Airport chart.
b. For aerodromes with an instrument approach procedure where an aerodrome forecast is
unavailable or is “provisional”, the pilot in command must make provision for a suitable alter-
nate.
c. For aerodromes without an instrument approach procedure, the alternate minima are the
lowest safe altitude for the final route segment plus 500 ft and a visibility of 8km (also refer to
Non-instrument Procedure Destination).
3.2.13 For flight by aeroplanes 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.
3.2.13.1 For VFR helicopter operations by day, the alternate minima are the same as for night
unless the additional conditions specified in General Flight Procedures are met. When these addi-
tional conditions are met, the alternate minima requirements are as shown in paragraph 3.2.2.

3.3 RADIO NAVIGATION AIDS


3.3.1 A flight which is planned to be conducted under IFR on the last route segment to its desti-
nation must provide for a suitable alternate aerodrome, unless:
a. for Regular Public Transport and Charter operations:
1. the destination is served by a radio navigation aid for which an instrument approach
procedure has been prescribed, and the aircraft is fitted with two independent and sepa-
rate radio navigation systems, each of which is capable of using the aid; or
2. the destination is served by two radio navigation aids for which independent and sepa-
rate instrument approach procedures have been prescribed, and the aircraft is fitted
with independent and separate radio navigation systems capable of using these aids;

b. for Aerial Work and Private operations: the destination is served by a radio navigation aid for
which an instrument approach procedure has been prescribed and the aircraft is fitted with
the radio navigation system capable of using the aid.
3.3.2 Notwithstanding the above, a flight may be planned under IFR by day to a destination aer-
odrome which is not served by a radio navigation aid without the requirement to provide for a suit-
able alternate aerodrome, provided that:
a. not more than SCT cloud is forecast below the final route segment LSALT plus 500 ft and
forecast visibility at the destination aerodrome is not less than 8km; and
b. the aircraft can be navigated to the destination aerodrome in accordance with flight under
IFR navigation requirements.
3.3.3 A flight permitted to operate under the VFR at night (see General Flight Procedures, VFR)
must provide for an alternate aerodrome within one (1) hour flight time of the destination unless:
a. the destination is served by a radio navigation aid (NDB/VOR) and the aircraft is fitted with
the appropriate radio navigation system capable of using the aid, or
b. the aircraft is fitted with an approved GNSS receiver, and the pilot and aircraft meet systems
approval and operations requirements.

3.4 RUNWAY LIGHTING


3.4.1 Portable Lighting
When a flight is planned to land at night at an aerodrome where the runway lighting is portable,
provision must be made for flight to an alternate aerodrome unless arrangements are made for a
responsible person to be in attendance during the period specified in paragraph 2.4, 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 aerodrome with electric runway lighting, whether
pilot activated or otherwise, but without standby power, provision must be made for flight to an
alternate aerodrome 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 2.4, to
display 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 aerodrome with PAL and standby power, provision
must be made for a flight to an alternate aerodrome equipped with runway lighting unless a
responsible person is in attendance to manually switch on the aerodrome lighting.
3.4.4 Alternate Aerodromes — PAL
An aerodrome may be nominated as an alternate aerodrome provided that, where an aircraft is an
RPT aircraft (excluding aircraft engaged in cargo-only operations or an aircraft below 3500kg
MTOW), or is an aircraft fitted with single VHF communication, the alternate aerodrome must be
one which is:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 677
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

a. served by a lighting system which is not pilot activated; or


b. served by PAL and there is a responsible person in attendance to manually switch on the
aerodrome lighting.
3.4.4.1 In the case of a non-RPT aircraft, RPT aircraft engaged in cargo-only operations, and
RPT aircraft below 3500kg MTOW, where the alternate aerodrome is served by PAL, there is no
requirement for a responsible person on the ground to be in attendance, but the aircraft 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 aerodrome 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.
3.4.8 Partial Runway Lighting Failure
At a controlled aerodrome, in the event of failure of one electrical circuit on a runway equipped
with interleaved circuitry lighting, pilots will be notified of a doubled spacing of runway edge lights;
ie, from 60m to 120m spacing. When such a failure occurs at night, pilots must apply the following
requirements to an approach to land:
a. In VMC:
No restriction.
b. In Less Than VMC:
The prevailing visibility must be equal to, or greater than, the published minimum for the
instrument approach procedure being used for an aircraft’s arrival multiplied by a factor of
1.5.

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.

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 aerodromes.

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 aerodrome is
operating under Cat I conditions.

c. Taxi-Holding Position Sign at Category II Runways — Where an ILS Cat II holding posi-
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 aerodromes, 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 aerodromes used predominantly
by aircraft having a maximum take-off weight of less than 5,700kg.
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
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, a pattern consisting of two groups of three
lights, one group on either side of the runway, is 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, edge lighting in that area will be uni-directional red.
6.1.3.3 If any length of runway prior to the displaced threshold is available for landing or take-off
from the other end of the runway, the runway edge lighting prior to the displaced threshold will
appear white to those aircraft and red runway end lights will be provided. These runway end lights
will be screened from aircraft approaching to land over them.

Displaced Threshold/Runway Edge Lighting: Runway Before Threshold Serviceable

6.1.3.4 If the alteration to the threshold location is caused by an unserviceable area of the
runway, yellow/orange obstruction lights are used to outline the end of the serviceable area.

Displaced Threshold/Runway Edge Lighting: Runway Before Threshold Unserviceable

6.1.3.5 During daylight hours runways used by international jet RPT aircraft will be equipped
with one strobe light on each side of the displaced threshold. Strobes may be used in lieu of Vee-
Bar markers in other instances.
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 aer-
odromes.
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 1,500m. 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 Lighting
6.2.5.1 Holding point lighting consists of three lights showing yellow in the direction of the
approach to the runway. When taxiway edge lighting is provided, the holding point lighting con-
sists 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.

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 aerodromes 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 aerodromes 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 AERODROME BEACONS


6.6.1 Aerodrome 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 aerodrome where night operations are permitted, constructed obstacles and signifi-
cant terrain which penetrate the obstacle limitation surface of an aerodrome, 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 aerodromes, constructed obstacles that would be marked in accord-
ance 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 aerodromes have strobe lights that mark the
centerline of the lane.

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)


6.11.1 Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL) installations provide a means of activation of aerodrome,
runway, taxiway, apron, VASIS and wind indicator lighting. The lighting is activated using coded
carrier wave only VHF transmissions within a short range of a PAL equipped aerodrome.

AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

6.11.2 Operation of VHF Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL)


a. ON DEPARTURE: Before taxi
b. ON ARRIVAL: Within 15 NM of AD, and at or ABV LSALT select the appropriate VHF FREQ:

1. Transmit pulse must be between 1 and 5 SECS.


2. Three pulses must be transmitted within 25 SECS. Ensure that the third pulse ends
before the 25th second.
3. Break between transmissions can be more or less than 1 SEC – (no limit)
Lights to illuminate for a minimum of 30 MINS. If not
– keep transmitting 3 SEC pulses
– check frequency
4. When runway lights are about to extinguish, the wind indicator light will flash continu-
ously. REPEAT OPERATING PROCEDURE.
6.11.3 PAL will remain illuminated for 30 to 60 minutes depending on the installation timer set-
ting. The wind indicator light will flash continuously during the last 10 minutes of lighting illumina-
tion to warn users that the lights are about to extinguish. To maintain continuity of lighting, repeat
the activation sequence.
6.11.4 PAL is indicated on applicable Terminal Airport Charts or in the Airport Directory at loca-
tions where available.

6.12 AERODROME FREQUENCY RESPONSE UNIT WITH PAL OPTION


(AFRU + PAL)
6.12.1 PAL operation may be provided as an optional function of the AFRU on the associated
aerodrome CTAF. Aerodrome lighting enabled by AFRU + PAL is available only during night
hours or at other times of low natural light levels. During periods of daylight, when the light inten-
sity is above a preset level, the system will not activate the lights.
6.12.2 Where a discrete PAL frequency is also provided, actuation of the aerodrome lights may
be effected either by using the PAL system on the discrete PAL frequency, or the AFRU + PAL
system on the CTAF.
6.12.3 On receipt of the required aircraft transmission, the AFRU will operate the aerodrome
lighting circuitry (runway and wind indicator lights). The AFRU will transmit the standard reply (the
aerodrome name and CTAF) immediately followed by the additional confirming message,
“RUNWAY LIGHTS ON”. If the lights do not illuminate, the AFRU will transmit the message, “NO
RUNWAY LIGHTS”. In this case, pilots should key the required transmission again or, alterna-
tively, change to the PAL frequency and operate the lights via the PAL.
6.12.4 AFRU + PAL required transmission is:

6.12.5 After actuation, the aerodrome lights will remain illuminated for 30 minutes. After 20
minutes, the windsock lights will flash at 1 second intervals and the AFRU will transmit the mes-
sage, “RUNWAY LIGHTS TEN MINUTES REMAINING”. At any time, rekeying of the required
transmission will reset the lights for a period of 30 minutes.

7 VISUAL AIDS
7.1 VISUAL APPROACH SYSTEMS
7.1.1 Two types of visual approach slope indicating systems (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.
7.1.2 The standard installation aims to provide an obstacle clearance of at least 11m above a
1.9 deg slope, within an azimuth splay of 7.5 deg either side of the runway centerline for a dis-
tance of 5 NM from the threshold (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS).
7.1.3 Control
7.1.3.1 When controlled by ATS, the operation of the relevant VASIS will be activated as fol-
lows:
a. whenever night landing facilities are activated;
b. by day, for all approaching RPT, jet, and military aircraft; and
c. by day, on request by other aircraft.
7.1.3.2 Where pilot activated lighting (PAL) is used to activate the runway lighting, the VASIS at
both ends of the runway will be activated where applicable.
7.1.4 T-VASIS
7.1.4.1 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.
7.1.4.2 Increased eye-height over the threshold can be achieved by flying the approach with one
or more of the “fly-down” lights visible.

3 Lights fly up 0 to 7 ft
2 Lights fly up 7 ft to 25 ft

APPROACH SLOPE INDICATION EYE HEIGHT ABOVE THRESHOLD


2 Lights fly down 75 ft to 94 ft
3 Lights fly down 94 ft to 176 ft

7.1.4.2.1 The above requirements may vary by 15 ft depending on the location of the system.
NOTE 1: The night azimuth splay is normally increased to 30 deg to permit T-VASIS to be visible
on base leg. However, obstacle clearance is not guaranteed until the aircraft is within the runway
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: erroneous fly-down or fly-up signals; or 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 condu-
cive to light reflection or refraction.
7.1.4.3 The intensity of the system may be varied at the request of the pilot.
7.1.4.4 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).
7.1.5 PAPI
7.1.5.1 A PAPI 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 white and red 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 deg. A one degree progressive incremental spread
from the outermost to the innermost light unit about the standard approach angle provides the
visual guidance as shown in the following diagram.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 708
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS

7.1.5.2 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.
7.1.5.3 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.

7.1.5.4 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.
7.1.5.5 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.

7.2 VISUAL DOCKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM


7.2.1 Visual Docking Guidance Systems used in Australia are Nose-In-Guidance (NIG) systems
which provide both azimuth and stopping information for specific aircraft types. There are five (5)
systems in general use, and these are detailed on applicable TERMINAL Airport charts.

7.3 WIND DIRECTION INDICATORS


7.3.1 At least one wind direction indicator is provided on each certified or registered aerodrome.
7.3.2 The primary wind indicator, colored white, is located near the terminal. Other wind indica-
tors are colored yellow, and those serving a particular runway are located upwind of the runway
threshold on the left side.

7.4 SEGMENTED CIRCLE


7.4.1 A Segmented Circle visual indicator system is one method that may be used to provide
circuit information at some non-towered aerodromes. Circuit indicators are placed in pairs at
opposite sides of the segmented circle to indicate runway alignment and circuit direction for each
set of reciprocal runways.
7.4.2 The segmented circle may be based around the primary wind indicator at an aerodrome.
Markings that may be placed upon the segmented circle include “Circuit Indicators”. These indica-
tors are used for the purpose of controlling the direction of the circuit when there is any variation
from the normal left hand circuit.

8 CONTROL OF VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT


ON AERODROMES
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.
8.5 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, required to hold short of a runway, must hold at the
appropriate holding point 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
(number)” has been issued and the stop bar lights, where fitted, have been switched off.

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. In order
of priority, the pilot should use apron, threshold or airfield reference point elevation for the check.
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 if it is provided by ATIS, Tower or an automatic
remote-reporting aerodrome sensor. Area or forecast QNH must not be used for the test.

1.2 ALTIMETER SETTING RULES


1.2.1 Transition Layer, Altitude and 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 (in the Altimeter Setting region), 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 Forecast QNH if the current Local QNH is not known.
1.2.1.3 For cruising in Standard Pressure Region, altimeter must be 1013.2 hPa.
1.2.1.4 The position to change between QNH and 1013.2 hPa shall always be in the Standard
Pressure Region on climb after passing 10,000 ft and prior to levelling off, or on descent to a level
in the Altimeter Setting Region prior to entering the Transition Layer and is shown in Figure 1.
1.2.1.5 QNH is available from a reporting station, the ATIS, the Terminal Area Forecast, the
Area Forecast, AERIS, or from ATS.
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

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.

2 FLIGHT RULES NOMINATION


2.1 The nomination of a flight as IFR or VFR determines:
a. the flight notification requirements;
b. separation requirements in Classes A, C, and D airspace;
c. separation requirements for aircraft in receipt of an airways clearance in Class E airspace;
and
d. traffic information requirements in classes E and G airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 713

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2.2 Flight rules must be indicated in any flight notification, except for VFR flights operating
wholly outside controlled airspace nominating a SARTIME. An RPT flight capable of compliance
with the IFR, must indicate “IFR” on all flight notifications.
2.3 Flights which, within a single stage, will be flown under both the IFR and VFR must indicate:
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 then VFR, or Z to indicate VFR first then
IFR;
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 indi-
vidual stages. Where the flight rules field is left blank on a multi-stage flight, the previous
flight rule will apply.

4.1.1 VFR flight may only be conducted:
a. in VMC;
b. provided that, when operating at or below 2000 ft above the ground or water, the pilot is able
to navigate by visual reference to the ground or water;
c. at sub-sonic speeds; and
d. in accordance with speed restrictions.
4.1.2 Unless the pilot-in-command holds a Command Instrument Rating or night VFR (NGT
VFR) rating and the aircraft is appropriately equipped for flight at night, a VFR flight must not
depart from an aerodrome:
a. before first light or after last light; and
b. unless the ETA for the destination (or alternate) is at least 10 minutes before last light after
allowing for any required holding.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 719
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

4.2 SPECIAL VFR


4.2.1 By day, when VMC do not exist, the ATC unit responsible for a CTR may issue, at pilot
request, a Special VFR flight clearance for flight in the CTR, or in a CTA next to the CTR, for the
purpose of entering or leaving the CTR, provided the Special VFR flight will not unduly delay an
IFR flight.
4.2.1.1 When operating under a special VFR clearance, pilots are responsible for ensuring that:
a. the flight is conducted clear of clouds;
b. the visibility is not less than:
1. for aeroplanes, 1600m;
2. for helicopters, 800m; or
3. for balloons, 100m below 500 ft AGL and 3000m 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
d. the flight is conducted in accordance with the requirements of CAR 157 with regard to low
flying.
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, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the CASA. In the case of single-engine
aircraft, IFR flights are restricted to private, airwork and freight-only charter operations unless oth-
erwise specifically approved by the CASA. IFR flights must be conducted in accordance with the
speed restrictions set forth in paragraph 7 of this chapter.

5 NAVIGATION REQUIREMENTS
5.1 FLIGHT UNDER THE IFR
5.1.1 An aircraft operating under the IFR must be navigated by:
a. a full time licensed flight navigator; or
b. an approved area navigation system that meets performance requirements of the intended
airspace or route; or
c. 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
d. 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 720
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

and the visual position fixing requirements of paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.1 are able to be
met.
NOTE: Area navigation systems may only be used as the primary means of navigation if the
system installed in the aircraft has been approved by the CASA and the pilot-in-command
operates the system in accordance with the terms of this approval.

5.2 FLIGHT UNDER THE VFR


5.2.1 The pilot-in-command of a VFR flight must navigate the aircraft by visual reference to the
ground or water, or by using any of the methods specified for IFR, except that when operating at
or below 2000 ft above the ground or water, the pilot-in-command must be able to navigate by
visual reference to the ground or water.
5.2.2 When navigating by visual reference to the ground or water, the pilot-in-command must
positively fix the aircraft’s position by visual reference to features shown on topographical charts
at intervals not exceeding 30 minutes.
5.2.2.1 When flying over the sea, such features may include rocks, reefs and fixed man-made
objects which are marked on suitable charts and are readily 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.
5.2.3 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 navigat-
ing by reference to radio navigation aids, by more than the tolerances given in paragraph 5.6.
5.2.4 VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud is available provided that:
a. VMC can be maintained during the entire flight, including climb, cruise and descent.
b. For VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud, the visual position fixing requirements of para-
graphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.1, or the other navigational requirements of paragraph 5.1 must be
met.
c. 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
observations) indicate that conditions in the area of, and during the period of, the planned
descent below the cloud layer will permit the descent to be conducted in VMC.
d. 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 aerodrome in VMC.
NOTE 1: A pilot must not undertake a VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud unless the air-
craft is equipped with serviceable flight and navigation instruments as specified in CAO 20.18,
Appendix IV (not published herein).
NOTE 2: 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 721
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

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.
5.2.5 When navigating by reference to radio navigation systems, the pilot-in-command must
obtain positive radio fixes at the intervals and by the methods prescribed in paragraphs 5.1 and
5.5.
5.2.6 The pilot-in-command of a VFR flight wishing to navigate by means of radio navigation
systems 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 qualified to use.
NOTE: “Qualified” means the holder of an instrument rating or NVFR rating which is endorsed for
the particular navigation aid or any private or higher category pilot who has received in-flight
instruction from a qualified flight instructor in the use of the radio navigation aid as the sole means
of navigation, and who is competent to navigate by use of the aid.
5.2.7 VFR flights must not be conducted above FL200 unless:
a. the pilot in command or, if more than one pilot is required, each pilot:
– holds a valid command or co-pilot instrument rating or grade of private IFR rating that
authorizes the pilot to conduct IFR operations in that airspace; and
– complies with the recent experience requirements of section 40.2.1 or 40.2.3 of CAOs as
applicable to the particular flight; and
b. the aircraft is equipped for flight under the IFR; and
c. the aircraft is engaged in an 'IFR pick up', 'VFR climb/descent' or 'VFR on top' procedure as
published in DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES; and
d. the aircraft remains in Class “E” airspace.

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 When using radio navigation aids as the primary means of navigation the aircraft must be
navigated by reference to the aid which provides the most precise track guidance with which the
aircraft is equipped and the pilot is qualified to use.
5.4.3.1 The order of precision is Localizer, GNSS, VOR, then NDB.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 722
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

5.4.4 When track guidance is provided by radio navigation aids, but navigation is by an
approved self-contained navigation system or long range radio navigation system, the pilot must
maintain track as defined by the most accurate radio navigation aid available.
5.4.5 Area navigation systems suitable for approval are based on GNSS or INS or IRS. When
navigation is by an approved area navigation system, autopilot coupling to the area navigation
system, if available, should be used whenever practicable. The pilot must monitor the navigation
system and ensure that the aircraft maintains the intended flight path.

5.5 POSITION FIXING


5.5.1 A positive radio fix is one determined by the passage of the aircraft over:
a. a NDB; or
b. a VOR station; or
c. a DME; or
d. is one determined by GNSS meeting the equipment and pilot requirements of Area Naviga-
tion (RNAV) Systems Approval and Operations
e. is one determined by 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.

5.6 AIRCRAFT OFF-TRACK IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE – ADVICE TO


ATC
5.6.1 In controlled airspace, separation standards are based on the pilot maintaining track as
closely as possible at all times. Corrective action must be taken to regain track as soon as any
deviation is observed.
5.6.2 Additionally, the pilot must immediately notify ATC if the aircraft is found to be off-track by
any of the deviations described below:
a. where track guidance is provided by a localizer or VOR — half-scale deflection or more of
the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI);
b. where track guidance is provided by NDB — +/- 5° or more from the specified bearing;
c. where track guidance is provided by DME — +/- 2 NM or more from the required arc;
d. where track guidance is provided by an area navigation system — when Navigation System
Error (ANP, EPE, HPL/HAL depending on the system in use) plus Flight Technical Error
(FTE) exceed the RNAV or RNP value for the route or procedure being flown, Flight Techni-
cal Error (FTE) should be limited to half scale deflection of the CDI or Lateral Deviation indi-
cator (LDEV) as appropriate; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 723
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

e. when navigating by visual reference to the ground or water — more than 1 NM from the
cleared track.
NOTE: The values given above must not be interpreted as defining a sector within which the
pilot is permitted to navigate.

5.7 DEVIATION FROM TRACK


5.7.1 In controlled airspace, any deviation from track requires prior clearance from ATC, except
in emergency. The values given in paragraphs 5.6 and 5.11 must not be interpreted as tolerances
within which deviations from track without clearance are permitted.

5.8 DEVIATIONS DUE WEATHER


5.8.1 In controlled airspace, any deviation from track due weather requires prior clearance from
ATC. If unable to obtain a clearance, and the pilot-in-command considers the deviation neces-
sary, a PAN call specifying details of the deviation must be broadcast on the appropriate frequen-
cies. Pilots must be aware that the declaration of an emergency does not guarantee the aircraft
safe passage, especially if the deviation is into an active restricted area.

5.9 DEVIATIONS INTO RESTRICTED AREAS


5.9.1 Any deviation from track into an active restricted area requires prior clearance from ATC. If
unable to obtain a clearance, and the pilot in command considers there is no safer alternative
course of action, squawk emergency and declare a PAN specifying details of the deviation on the
appropriate ATC and emergency frequencies. Aircraft entering active restricted areas without a
clearance proceed at their own risk. Pilots must be aware that the declaration of an emergency
does not guarantee the aircraft safe passage. Calls on emergency frequencies should be repea-
ted at regular intervals during transit of the restricted area.
5.9.2 Prior to re-entering CTA, a clearance from ATC must be obtained.

5.10 LONG OVER-WATER FLIGHTS


5.10.1 If an aircraft on a long over-water flight operating in oceanic class A airspace has inad-
vertently 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 AVOIDING CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


5.11.1 The pilot-in-command of an aircraft operating in Class G airspace, or to the VFR in Class
E airspace, must apply appropriate tolerances to the flight path to ensure that controlled airspace,
or restricted areas, are not infringed.
5.11.2 In calculating whether an intended flight path may infringe controlled airspace, the follow-
ing navigational tolerances must be applied to the intended flight path depending on method of
navigation used. These tolerances may be rounded up to the nearest half degree, where applica-
ble, for practical purposes:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 724

NDB +/- 6.9°


VOR/TACAN +/- 5.2°
DR +/- 12°
RNAV5/RNAV10(RNP10)/RNP4 +/- 14 NM

NOTE 1: The equipment specified in the table above is the minimum required to be serviceable
for any flight under the IFR or at night under the VFR. Additional radio navigation equipment may
be required to meet the navigation requirements cited in General Flight Procedures, and the al-
ternate requirements contained in Airports and Ground Aids depending on the navigation aids
available and the weather conditions prevailing over the planned route and at the destination.
NOTE 2: Aircraft may continue to operate with unserviceable DME and GNSS equipment in
Class G. In controlled airspace, where ATC uses radar as the primary means of separating air-
craft, operation with unserviceable DME and GNSS is permitted if the aircraft is fitted with a serv-
iceable Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) Transponder. This does not relieve the aircraft
from the requirement for two ADF, VOR, TSO-C145a or TSO-146a GNSS receivers.
NOTE 3: In this table GNSS refers to GNSS equipment certified to TSO-C129, C129a, C145a,

NOTE 4: Where TSO-C145a, or TSO-146a GNSS equipment is carried to meet the requirement
for two ADF, VOR, TSO-C145a or TSO-C146a GNSS receivers, the requirement for one DME or
GNSS receiver is also met.
NOTE 5: GNSS receivers that comply with GPS navigation equipment standards detailed in TSO
C129, C129a, C145a, C146a, or equivalent standard approved by CASA, may be used in lieu of
DME for instrument approaches for which DME is required subject to the following conditions:
a. the reference position used is annotated on the approach chart; and
b. the substituted DME reference position can be selected from the database.
NOTE 6: CASA may approve equivalent equipment to GPS receivers certified to TSO C129,
C129a, C145a, or C146a.
NOTE 7: GNSS receivers must be fitted in accordance with AC 21-36 or other equivalent adviso-
ry information applicable at the time of fitment.

5.13 AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR


5.13.1 IFR RPT and charter aircraft which are required to be crewed by two or more pilots must
be fitted with an approved airborne weather radar system. Unpressurized turbine engined aircraft
with a maximum take-off weight of not greater than 5700kg and unpressurized piston engine air-
craft are exempt from this requirement.
5.13.2 Serviceability of Airborne Weather Radar
5.13.2.1 An aircraft which is required to be fitted with an airborne weather radar system must not
depart if the radar is unserviceable and available forecasts indicate probability of thunderstorms
or cloud formations associated with severe turbulence anywhere along the route to be flown,
including the route to a planned alternate.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 727

5.13.2.2 An aircraft which is required to be fitted with an airborne weather radar system which
becomes unserviceable during a flight may continue that flight so long as the aircraft avoids pene-
tration of any cloud formation likely to be associated with severe turbulence.

5.14 GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM (GPWS)


5.14.1 A turbine engined airplane that:
a. has a maximum take-off weight of more than 15,000kg, or is carrying 10 or more passen-
gers; and
b. is engaged in regular public transport, or charter operations;
must not be operated under the Instrument Flight Rules unless it is fitted with:
1. an approved GPWS that has a predictive terrain hazard warning function; or
2. if the aeroplane has a maximum take-off weight of 5,700kg or less, but is carrying 10 or more
passengers – a TAWS -B+ system.
Subject to the provisions of an approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) under paragraph 10 of
CAO 20.18, an aeroplane required to be fitted with a GPWS shall not depart with that equipment
unserviceable from an aerodrome where facilities are available to repair or replace the GPWS

5.15 ATS SURVEILLANCE


5.15.1 Aircraft Requirements
5.15.1.1 Aircraft must be fitted with a serviceable Mode A and Mode C, or Mode S, SSR trans-
ponder for operations as follows:
– All aircraft within classes A, B and C airspace and any class of airspace at or above 10,000 ft
AMSL.
– All aircraft, except aircraft operating to the VFR which are not fitted with an engine driven elec-
trical system capable of continuously powering a transponder, within Class E airspace below
10,000 ft AMSL.
5.15.1.2 For Mode S equipped aircraft, transmitted Aircraft Identification must exactly match the
Aircraft Identification shown in Item 7 of the filed Flight Notification or, when no flight notification
has been filed, the aircraft registration.
NOTE 1: Mode C and Mode S operation requires the provision of pressure altitude information to
the transponder equipment.
NOTE 2: Procedures for operational use of SSR transponders and transponder codes are
detailed in ATS Surveillance Services and Procedures.
NOTE 3: Currently, some aircraft (that are not capable of powering a transponder) may be operat-
ing without a transponder in Class E airspace and Class G airspace. There may also be occa-

sions where aircraft without a transponder operate in Class A airspace, in which case they will be
separated from other aircraft by ATC.
5.15.1.3 ADS-B Equipment
5.15.1.3.1 Aircraft must carry serviceable ADS-B transmitting equipment that complies with an
approved equipment configuration when operating at or above FL290 in Australian territorial air-
space.
5.15.1.3.2 An aircraft, which is fitted with serviceable ADS-B transmitting equipment that com-
plies with an approved equipment configuration, must operate the equipment continuously during
the flight in all airspace at all altitudes unless the pilot is directed or approved otherwise by ATC.
5.15.1.3.3 An aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment must not fly in
Australian territory unless the equipment is:
a. deactivated; or
b. set to transmit only a value of zero for the NUCp or NIC; or
c. operated under the provisions of 5.15.1.3.4.
NOTE: It is considered equivalent to deactivation if NUCp or NIC is set to continually transmit only
a value of zero.
5.15.1.3.4 An aircraft, fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment, may operate
without the equipment deactivated under all of the following conditions:
a. the aircraft is undertaking an ADS-B test flight;
b. the flight is conducted in VMC; and
c. the operation is below FL290.
5.15.1.3.5 Aircraft with demonstrated non-complying ADS-B transmissions will be notified by
ATC at the time of detection. The pilot in command will be requested to contact ATC on comple-
tion of the flight for additional information regarding the observed issue. ATC must be notified of
fault correction within 24 hours or ADS-B services for that aircraft will be withdrawn. ADS-B serv-
ices will be restored within 48 hours when advice is received of corrective action.
5.15.1.4 ADS-B Exemptions
5.15.1.4.1 Aircraft operators proposing operation of an aircraft that is not compliant with the
ADS-B regulatory standards or is not fitted with ADS-B equipment must request an exemption
from CASA at least 4 weeks before the date of flight.
5.15.1.4.2 Exemption requests must be accompanied by a safety impact assessment and CASA
approval of any submission for an exemption would be influenced by the potential impact on the
safety of Air Traffic Management.
5.15.1.4.3 Where an aircraft is ADS-B equipped but the equipment has become unserviceable
before flight, the pilot in command or aircraft operator must contact Airservices Australia for prior
approval of any flight proposed at or above FL290. Any approval agreed by ATC for the flight will
be subject to operational conditions.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 729
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

5.15.1.4.4 Once an exemption or short term approval is obtained, clearance to operate at or


above FL290 will be made by Air Traffic Control at the time of flight and is subject to traffic man-
agement considerations. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B will be afforded priority.
5.15.1.4.5 Where ADS-B equipment becomes unserviceable in flight, Airservices Australia may
approve the flight to continue to the airport of ultimate destination, including any intermediate
stops, and/ or to proceed to a place where suitable repairs can be made. Approval of such flight is
subject to traffic management considerations at the time.
5.15.1.5 STATE Aircraft
5.15.1.5.1 State aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment should operate
within the provisions of 5.15.1.3.3 but may also apply the conditions of 5.15.1.5.2. The ADS-B
equipment non-compliance must be detailed in the flight notification when the aircraft operates
within Australian territorial airspace.
NOTE: The operation of non-compliant ADS-B equipment can significantly affect and degrade
ATS surveillance capability.
5.15.1.5.2 Pilots of state aircraft that are not ADS-B equipped requiring to operate at or above
FL290 for operational reasons, must flight plan as a special requirements flight (MIL SPEC REQ)
in accordance with FLIGHT PLANNING APPENDIX 2 ATS FLIGHT NOTIFICATION.
NOTE: State aircraft in flight that have not flight planned as above may request operation at or
above FL290 under the provisions of CLIMB AND CRUISE paragraph 3 Cruising Levels.
5.15.2 SSR Transponder Exemptions
5.15.2.1 General exemptions against the requirement for carriage of SSR transponders are in
force for aircraft certified without an engine-driven electrical system; eg, balloons, gliders and anti-
que aircraft.
5.15.2.2 Specific ATC exemption against the requirement, for carriage of SSR transponders, for
the portions of flights subject to a clearance, may be available subject to agreement with the rele-
vant ATC unit as follows:
a. For operation of an aircraft with an operating transponder, but without operating automatic
pressure altitude reporting equipment having a Mode C capability, the request may be made
at any time.
b. For operation of an aircraft with an unserviceable transponder to the airport of ultimate desti-
nation, including any intermediate stops, or to proceed to a place where suitable repairs can
be made or both, the request may be made at any time.
c. For operation of an aircraft that is not equipped with a transponder, the request must be
made at least one (1) hour before the proposed operation.

5.16 TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)


5.16.1 Aircraft fitted with a serviceable ACAS / TCAS, and with a crew trained in its use, are per-
mitted to operate that system while in Australian airspace. All turbine-powered commercial trans-
port aeroplanes certified to carry more than 30 passengers, or which have a MTOW in excess of
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 730
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

15,000kg, are required to carry and operate TCAS II equipment while in Australia airspace. Pilots
are expected to react to TCAS alerts as follows:
a. Traffic Advisory: In the case of a Traffic Advisory the pilot will attempt to establish visual
contact and change the flight path only if a collision risk is established visually.
b. Resolution Advisory: In the case of a Resolution Advisory the pilot will respond in accord-
ance with the collision avoidance maneuver prescribed by the TCAS system.
NOTE 1: In controlled airspace, the controlling agency must be advised as soon as practica-
ble when a Resolution Advisory maneuver is initiated.
NOTE 2: Not all transponders used in Australian airspace are compatible with TCAS II,
which cannot detect aircraft fitted with the incompatible transponders.
5.16.2 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) requires that all TCAS Resolution Advi-
sory Alerts, which involve a breakdown in separation only, be treated as immediately notifiable
occurrences (see Air Traffic Incidents).
5.16.3 The ATSB reporting requirements apply to all TCAS equipped aircraft operating in Aus-
tralian Flight Information Regions. The requirements also apply to Australian registered aircraft
operating outside of Australian airspace.
5.16.4 The above information is required for proactive systems analysis in relation to accident
prevention.

5.17 AREA NAVIGATION SEPARATION STANDARDS


5.17.1 Separation standards involving the use of area navigation systems based on GNSS, INS
or IRS may be applied by ATC between aircraft with RNAV or RNP approval (longitudinal and lat-
eral standards), or between an aircraft with RNAV or RNP approval and an aircraft with DME (lon-
gitudinal standards only).
5.17.2 Pilots using RNAV for navigation must advise ATC of:
a. navigation equipment failure; or
b. operations of the equipment outside the approved tolerances; or
c. for inertial systems, 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 will not apply area navigation standards to an aircraft after receipt of the advice.

5.18 GNSS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES


5.18.1 GNSS systems used to provide distance information to ATS units by pilot reports must
meet the requirements referenced in Air Navigation Systems.
5.18.2 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 731
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

5.18.3 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.
5.18.4 Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, if an ATC unit has issued a clearance or
requirement based on GNSS distance (e.g., a requirement to reach a certain level by a certain
GNSS distance), pilots must inform ATC if RAIM is not available.
5.18.5 If a GPS 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”.
5.18.6 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.
5.18.7 Where GNSS distance is requested or provided from an NDB, VOR, DME, or published
waypoint, the latitude and longitude of the navigation aid or waypoint must be derived from a vali-
dated database which cannot be modified by the operator or crew.

5.19 GPS OPERATIONS WITHOUT RAIM


NOTE: Systems for providing integrity, other than RAIM, may be approved for use by CASA.
Where reference to RAIM occurs in this section, it includes other approved equivalent integrity
monitoring systems.
5.19.1 GPS systems normally provide three modes of operation:
a. Navigation (Nav) Solution with RAIM;
b. 2D or 3D Nav Solution without RAIM; and
c. Dead Reckoning (DR), or Loss of Nav Solution.
5.19.2 ATS services, in particular aircraft separation, are predicated on accurate aircraft naviga-
tion and position fixing. If RAIM is lost, the accuracy of the GPS system is assumed not to meet
the required standard for navigation and, consequently, for the application of area navigation sep-
aration standards by ATC. Accordingly, when RAIM is lost, the following procedures must be
adopted:
a. Aircraft tracking must be closely monitored against other on-board navigation systems.
b. In controlled airspace, ATC must be advised if:
1. RAIM is lost for periods greater than 5 minutes, even if GPS is still providing position
information; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 732
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

2. RAIM is not available when ATC requests GPS distance, or if an ATC clearance or
requirement based on GPS distance is imposed; or
3. the GPS receiver is in DR mode, or experiences loss of navigation function, for more
than one minute; or
4. indicated displacement from track centerline exceeds 2 NM.
c. If valid position information is lost (2D or DR mode) or non-RAIM operation exceeds 5
minutes, the GPS information is to be considered unreliable and another means of naviga-
tion 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 GPS information. This will allow ATC to reassess the appropriate
separation standards.
e. When advising ATS of the status of GPS, the phrases “RAIM FAILURE” or “RAIM
RESTORED” must be used.
On receipt of advice, ATC may adjust separation.

6 OPERATIONS IN OCEANIC CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


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 read back 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.
6.2.4 MNT may also be applied by ATC in Australian control areas.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 733

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.
For Australian approval requirements, see Air Navigation Systems.
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 LATERAL OFFSETS IN OCA


6.4.1 Aircraft operating in OCA in the Australian FIRs are authorized to use lateral offsets in
accordance with the next paragraph.
6.4.2 The following requirements apply to the use of lateral offsets:
a. The offset shall only be applied by aircraft with automatic offset tracking capability.
b. When an offset is applied, the offset must be established at a distance of 1 NM or 2 NM to
the RIGHT of track relative to the direction of flight.
c. The offset must only be applied during the enroute phase of flight.
d. The offset must not be used in addition to diversions or other offsets; eg, weather or wake
turbulence.
e. The offset must not be applied at levels where obstacle clearance would be affected.
f. Identified aircraft:
1. may continue an offset; and
2. must advise ATC prior to initiating or changing an offset.
6.4.3 The decision to apply a lateral offset is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command. Other
than when an identified aircraft initiates or changes a lateral offset, pilots are not required to notify
ATC that a lateral offset is being applied.
6.4.4 The use of lateral offsets is recommended in OCA for aircraft cruising at levels not in com-
pliance with the Table of Cruising Levels.

“D”, “E” and “G” airspace are not applicable to military aircraft.

8 CLEARANCES — PILOT RESPONSIBILITY


8.1 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 his/her aircraft. Further, the issuance and acceptance of a
clearance in no way abrogates or transfers to an ATS unit the responsibilities of the pilot-in-com-
mand.

11 IN-FLIGHT FUEL MANAGEMENT


11.1 The pilot-in-command shall continually ensure that the amount of usable fuel remaining on
board is not less than the fuel required to proceed to an aerodrome where a safe landing can be
made with the planned fixed fuel reserve remaining upon landing.
11.2 The pilot-in-command shall request delay information from ATC when unanticipated cir-
cumstances may result in landing at the destination aerodrome with less than the fixed fuel
reserve plus an fuel required to proceed to an alternate aerodrome or the fuel required to operate
to an isolated aerodrome.
NOTE: There is no specific phraseology in this case as each situation may be different.

12 MINIMUM FUEL
12.1 The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring MINIMUM
FUEL when, having committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 737
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES

change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned
fixed fuel reserve.
NOTE 1: The declaration of MINIMUM FUEL informs ATC that all planned aerodrome options
have been reduced to a specific aerodrome of intended landing and any change to the existing
clearance may result in landing with less than planned fixed fuel reserve. This is not an emer-
gency 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.

13 EMERGENCY FUEL
13.1 The pilot-in-command shall 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 aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less than the plan-
ned fixed fuel reserve.

14 FUEL DUMPING IN FLIGHT


14.1 CAR 150(2)(d) regulates the dropping of anything, including fuel, from an aircraft in flight.
Additionally, Air Navigation (Fuel Spillage) Regulations prescribe penalties for the unauthorized
release of fuel from an aircraft other than in an emergency.
14.2 When fuel dumping is required, the pilot in command should request authority from ATC
before commencing a fuel dump, and must:
a. notify ATC immediately after an emergency fuel dump;
b. take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of persons or property in the air and on the
ground; and
c. where possible, conduct a controlled dump in clear air above 6000 ft and in an area nomina-
ted by ATC.

15 FLYING TRAINING
15.1 FLYING TRAINING AREAS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE

approval will be in the form of an airways clearance. ATC services will be provided in accordance
with the classification of the airspace.
15.1.2 ATC will route IFR traffic clear of the areas except that, when training aircraft have been
required to maintain a listening watch on the appropriate ATC frequency, ATC may reserve a
level for transit of IFR traffic which provides vertical separation from non-controlled training move-
ments.

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 aerodrome,
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 aerodromes to be
used;
b. the airways facilities available on the route to be flown and the condition of those facilities;
c. the condition of aerodromes 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 aerodromes.
The pilot must then plan the flight in relation to the information obtained.

1.2 FORECASTS
1.2.1 A forecast must be either:
a. a flight forecast;
b. an area forecast (below FL200); or
c. SIGWX forecast (above A100).
An aerodrome forecast for the destination is also needed and, when required, the alternate aero-
drome. For a flight to a destination for which a prescribed instrument approach procedure does
not exist, the minimum requirement is an Area Forecast.
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 suit-
able forecast is obtained for the intended destination within 30 minutes after departure.
1.2.3 For flights to a destination for which a aerodrome forecast is required and cannot be
obtained or is “provisional”, the flight is permitted to depart, provided an alternate aerodrome
meeting all the requirements specified in Alternate Aerodromes paragraph is provided.
1.2.4 Charter, Airwork and Private operations under VFR at night must not be conducted unless
the forecast indicates that the flight can be conducted in VMC at not less than 1000 ft above the
highest obstacle within 10 NM either side of track.
1.2.5 A pilot-in-command must ensure that the forecasts cover the period of the flight and that
the aerodrome forecasts for the destination and alternate aerodromes, to be nominated in the
flight plan, are valid for a period of not less than 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the plan-
ned ETA.
1.2.6 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 740
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

1.2.7 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.
1.2.8 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.

1.4 NON-INSTRUMENT PROCEDURE DESTINATION


1.4.1 A flight operating under IFR by day may be planned to a non-instrument procedure desti-
nation provided that the aircraft can be navigated in accordance with General Flight Procedures.
When the forecast for the destination is below the alternate minima specified in Airports and
Ground Aids, the pilot-in-command must ensure that a suitable alternate has been nominated.
1.4.2 An aircraft operating under IFR by night having a MTOW not greater than 5700kg may be
planned to a destination not served by a radio navigation aid or not having an approved instru-
ment approach procedure, subject to the following requirements:
a. Sufficient fuel must be carried to permit flight to a qualified alternate aerodrome;
b. The aircraft must be able to be navigated to the destination, then, if necessary, to the alter-
nate aerodrome in accordance with flight under IFR navigation requirements;
c. Descent below LSALT for the route sector to be flown must not be commenced until the air-

FLIGHT PLANNING

2.3.2 The above services are available as a menu choice, and on-line help is available for those
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
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 50NM radius of departure and destination.
g. Area forecasts, AIRMET, SIGMET and AIREP Specials.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 744
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

h. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.


i. NOTAM on all locations within 50NM 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 50NM 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 50NM 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 50NM radius of departure and destination, unless departure or
destination is a latitude/longitude.
f. AIREP Specials on waypoints in the route.
g. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.
h. En-route 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 745
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

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.

2.5.4 International Operations
2.5.4.1 A preflight briefing service is provided by the briefing office for international operations.
For departing flights, an information service is provided to the first destination outside Australia.
For pilots flight planning to Australia from locations such as Norfolk I, an information service is
available on the international telephone and facsimile numbers listed.
2.5.4.2 International operators intending to establish a new route out of Australia are required to
notify the briefing office of their NOTAM requirements prior to the commencement of the service.
This allows the briefing office to amend the database accordingly.
2.5.4.3 Requests by non-scheduled operations for information not held in the database will be
referred to the appropriate international authorities. Early notice of such flights will avoid delays.

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. Each AVFAX briefing contains a reference number which can be quoted to the
briefing office or inflight to obtain an update on the original 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 @ $.50 per call.
NOTE: See Meteorology, Automated Briefing Systems.

2.8 FLIGHTWATCH (FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE ON REQUEST)


2.8.1 FLIGHTWATCH and ATC provide an inflight NOTAM and meteorological briefing service
via air-ground communications channels to pilots unable to obtain information preflight, or who
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.
2.9.2 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 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.
2.9.3 Pilots must be mindful of how significant points or turning points are processed. If a
common name is entered in lieu of an aerodrome abbreviation or navigational aid / waypoint, the
flight notification output will assume the aircraft is tracking over a navigational aid/waypoint (e.g.;
the location HOLBROOK will translate to HBK, not YHBK).
2.9.4 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.
2.9.5 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;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 748
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

f. phone the briefing office if confirmation of receipt is required.


g. Confirmation of receipt is required when a SARTIME has been submitted.
2.9.6 Stored Flight Files
2.9.6.1 Stored flight files are specific preflight briefings (SPFIB) or flight notifications regularly
used by operators and which the briefing offices have agreed to store in the computer database
after consultation with the company concerned. Such flight files enable quick and efficient activa-
tion by either the pilot through pilot access, or the briefing officers direct to NAIPS.
2.9.6.2 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.
2.9.6.3 It is the responsibility of the originating organization to ensure the accuracy of informa-
tion contained in stored flight files.
2.9.7 Auto-Filed Flight Notifications
2.9.7.1 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.
2.9.8 Submission of Flight Notification with EOBT and DOF
2.9.8.1 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.
2.9.8.2 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.
2.9.8.3 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).
2.9.8.4 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.
2.9.8.5 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.

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.
3.2 IFR flights require the submission of flight notification details and the transmission of in-flight
progress reports at regular intervals. SARWATCH is based primarily on the receipt of these
reports by ATS.
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.
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 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.
3.6 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.
3.7 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.
3.8 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.
3.9 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 availa-
ble is the Australian Domestic Flight Notification form.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 750
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

3.10 Pilots of aircraft equipped only with VHF must not nominate IFR for those stages of the
flight where they will be beyond ATS VHF coverage.
3.11 VFR flights in the following categories are required to submit a SARTIME flight notification
to ATS, or, as an alternative, to leave a Flight Note with a responsible person:
a. RPT and CHTR flights;
b. overwater flights;
c. flights in Designated Remote Areas;
d. flights at night proceeding beyond 120 NM from the aerodrome of departure.
3.12 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.
3.13 VFR flights operating on SARTIME are requested to include contact telephone details for
the pilot or company at the destination where available.
3.14 VFR flights may operate on reporting schedules in the following circumstances:
a. mercy flights;
b. flood, fire or famine relief flights;
c. search and rescue flights;
d. overwater flights; and
e. military flights.
3.15 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.
3.16 Submission of flight details at least 30 minutes before EOBT is recommended.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 751
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING

3.17 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.
3.18 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.
3.19 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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 752

4.1.2 Books of Flight Notification forms are available from the Airservices Publications Unit at a
charge.
4.1.3 The suggested format for a Flight Note is contained in paragraph 8. This form is available
from the Airservices website (www.airservicesaustralia.com) (Pilot Centre) or from the Australian
Maritime Safety Authority website (www.amsa.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 An RPT flight capable of compliance with the IFR must indicate “IFR” on all flight notifica-
tion.
4.2.3 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 GNSS and AUSEP 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 Pilots of aircraft able to use GNSS in Night VFR Area Navigation, IFR Area Navigation, or
RNAV(GNSS) Non-precision Approach (or RNP APCH LNAV) applications should insert either:
a. “G” and “Z” in Field 10 and “NAV/GPSRNAV” in Field 18 of the flight notification form, or
b. “G” and “Z” in Field 10 and “NAV/RNP2” in Field 18 of the flight notification form.

b. “I” and “R” in Field 10 and “PBN/B5” in Field 18 of the flight notification form.
4.4 Military Flight
4.4.1 Military flights operating on low jet routes for any part of a flight must submit flight notifica-
tion to ATS, regardless of flight rules.
4.4.2 Military flights with an LJR component are required to provide EETs for all points nomina-
ted in Item 15 of their flight notification to enable ATS units to provide an effective service.
4.4.3 Military flights carrying out specific operations notified in the remarks section of the flight
notification form, together with a level at or below 1,000 ft will be operating with reference to
ground level.
4.4.4 Pilots of military aircraft that are not RVSM-approved, but require priority in the RVSM
flight level band for operational reasons, must enter STS/NONRVSM and RMK/MIL SPEC REQ in
Item 18.
4.5 POB
4.5.1 In addition to including POB numbers with the flight notification, pilots of IFR flights operat-
ing as other than RPT must notify ATS, on first contact, of the number of persons on board for
each flight stage.
4.5.2 Pilots of flights operating as RPT must ensure that a suitable passenger manifest is held
by the company, detailing POB for each flight stage. Notification of changes may be made to ATS
where it is impracticable for the pilot to provide notification of amendments to the company.
4.5.3 Pilots of VFR flights must include POB when submitting flight notification or when leaving a
flight note and are encouraged to notify ATS of any subsequent changes.
4.6 General
4.6.1 In instances where NAVAID training is required, but diversion to an alternative aerodrome
for that training is likely, and when procedures at the alternative location require the submission of
flight notification, the pilot will be required to provide details of both locations in Item 15 (Route),
expanded in Item 18. For example, for an aircraft requiring PILS at either Sydney, or alternatively
Richmond:
DCT BK PEC MQD SY RIC BK DCT
Item 18 will show SY PILS or RIC PILS.
4.6.2 A Flight Note provided by an RPT or CHTR pilot must show aircraft call-sign, EOBT for
each departure point, ETA for each landing point, endurance, pilot’s name, POB and destination
contact facility. It should also show the proposed route, type of ELT and details of any survival
equipment carried. The Flight Note must be left with a company representative who is instructed
how to contact AusSAR in the event of the aircraft becoming overdue.

trolled airspace must also be included.
4.6.4 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.
4.6.5 If a common name is entered into NAIPS in lieu of an aerodrome abbreviation or naviga-
tional aid/way-point, the flight notification output will assume that the aircraft is tracking over a
navigational aid/way-point and not the aerodrome; eg, the location HOLBROOK will translate to
HBK, not YHBK.
4.6.6 Pilots entering details in terms of latitude and longitude or by the use of polar coordinates
must adhere to the correct format. Location abbreviations used should be authorized (ie, pub-
lished in AIP) abbreviations.

the aeronautical maps, charts and other aeronautical information and instructions, published:
a. in AIP, or
b. by an organization approved by CASA, that are applicable to the route to be flown, and any
alternative route that may be flown, on that flight (CAR 233).

7 TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


7.1 SLOT ALLOCATIONS
7.1.1 An airline has the responsibility to obtain separately from any airport owners and/or opera-
tors, permission to operate services to and from the airports on the days and the times it proposes
for scheduled and non-scheduled operations.
7.1.2 In addition, the Sydney Airport Demand Management Act 1997 requires all aircraft opera-
tors (excluding emergency and state aircraft) to obtain timeslots (slots) for all arrivals and depar-
tures at Sydney Intl in advance of the operation. Airport Coordination Australia manages the allo-
cation of all slots at Sydney Intl and slots for international services at all other Australian interna-
tional gateways on behalf of the airport owners and/or operators and the Commonwealth.
7.1.3 Allocation of slots is undertaken in accordance with the airport facilities limitations, the
Sydney Airport Demand Management Act 1997 and regulations made under the Act, and the Slot
Management and Compliance Schemes approved under the Act. Airport Coordination Australia,
as the coordinator, can be contacted by:

ATC in conjunction with the flight notification requirements specified in paragraph 7.3.
7.1.5 Aircraft are required to operate according to allocated slot times. An allocated slot time has
a tolerance of +/-15 minutes for sectors of less than three (3) hours or +/-30 minutes for sectors
greater than three (3) hours. Penalties for non-compliance with allocated times may apply.
7.1.6 Allocation of a slots does not absolve operators of the need to comply with other published
requirements.
7.1.7 Notification of changes to slots allocated to existing scheduled flights should be advised to
Airports Coordination Authority in accordance with the Compliance Administration Manual.

7.2 BRISBANE LANDING SLOT TIME


7.2.1 All aircraft departing from aerodromes within 160 NM radius of Brisbane Intl planned to
arrive within the periods 2000-1200 UTC are required to obtain a landing SLOT time. This does
not apply to MED 1, HOSP, SAR, or FFR priority. SLOT times may be obtained by phone 07 3866
3588 or through the nearest ATS unit. Aircraft with a SLOT TIME can expect a maximum 10
minutes airborne delay.

7.3 SYDNEY CENTRAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CTMS)


7.3.1 Long range traffic arriving YSSY BTN 1900–2100 are requested to advise ATC of TAS
upon entry to Australian FIR.
7.3.2 Ground Delay Programs are applicable to all fixed wing, non priority flights departing from
all Australian domestic airports except Perth, and arriving at Sydney between the hours of 2000
and 1300 UTC, as adjusted by daylight saving time variations.
7.3.3 Ground Delay Programs are applicable to all fixed wing, non priority flights departing from
airports within 800 NM radius of Perth and arriving between the hours of 0100–1300 UTC Mon–
Fri.
7.3.4 Pilots operating into and out of Sydney Airport are required to obtain an ACA Slot in
advance of the operation. ACA Slots are obtained from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) on
02 9313 5469 or FAX 02 9313 4210 MON–FRI 0800–1600 local. Arrivals Slots allocated by ACA
may be subject to change by ATFM because of operational constraints. ACA Slots for short notice
non-scheduled flights may be obtained on the day of operation from the NOC on 1800 020 626.
These Slots will be allocated from the available pool.

7.3.6 Itinerant Flights


Prior to submitting a flight plan, pilots of itinerant flights intending to operate into a program airport
during the hours of a GDP are required to call the National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020
626 for a Calculated off Blocks Time (COBT), and Sydney ACA slot if required, for their flight.
The following information is required:
1. Aircraft callsign
2. Aircraft type
3. Departure aerodrome
4. Destination aerodrome
5. ETD
6. ETA
7. Pilots name, mobile phone number and email address if available.
If the destination is Sydney, it is recommended that where possible, on the day prior to the flight,
an ACA slot is obtained from ACA, and then the NOC is contacted prior to 1730 AEST or AEDST
and provided with the information listed above. This will ensure that the flight is included in the
Sydney GDP and will minimize any potential delay.
If the destination is Perth, pilots of itinerant flights should contact the NOC on the day of the oper-
ation.
This information must be provided not later than one hour prior to the proposed operation. Any
changes to the information provided above shall be notified to the NOC prior to departure.
Notification of flight details to the NOC is additional to all existing flight plan notification require-
ments.
Where communication facilities exist, pilots of itinerant flights must either check their COBT with
the NOC within one hour of the flight, or be able to check their mobile phone/email for any amend-
ments.
Failure to obtain a COBT and/or to submit a flight plan for a flight to a program airport may result
in extensive airborne holding or airways clearance being withheld if the program airport has no
compatible arrival slots available.
In addition to the requirement to obtain a COBT, all flights departing from Bankstown or Camden
for a landing at Sydney shall contact ATC on 9556 6515 prior to starting engines, and all flights
departing from Jandakot for a landing at Perth shall contact Perth Delivery on 132.95 prior to
starting engines.
Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb cruise and descent
profiles.

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1 OPERATIONS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


1.1 GENERAL
1.1.1 This section sets out the pilot action and related ATS activity in civil and military controlled
airspace.
1.1.2 For flight in close proximity to the boundary of controlled airspace, separation is not provi-
ded with traffic operating outside controlled airspace.

1.2 ENGINE START, PUSH-BACK AND TAXI


1.2.1 Engine Start — The pilot-in-command of an aircraft must request approval to start
engines when the requirement is notified by ATIS, NOTAM, AIP Supplement, ATC or published
on Terminal Airport charts.
1.2.2 Push-Back — The pilot-in-command must obtain an approval to push-back where this
maneuver is necessary prior to taxiing. Information about other aircraft moving on the same apron
will be provided by the apron service.
1.2.3 Taxi Clearance
1.2.3.1 When operating from a controlled aerodrome where ATIS is in operation, a pilot-in-com-
mand must obtain the ATIS broadcast prior to taxi, and advise ATC of the ATIS code when
requesting taxi clearance.
1.2.3.2 For IFR flights operating as other than RPT, the pilot-in-command must provide ATC
with the number of POB when requesting taxi clearance.
1.2.3.3 Pilots of civil VFR training flights should advise DUAL or SOLO, as appropriate, when
requesting clearance.
1.2.3.4 The pilot-in-command must obtain a taxi clearance either prior to moving on the maneu-
vering area, or in the case of Push-Back at the completion of the push-back maneuver.
The taxi clearance regulates movement on the maneuvering area. The separation of aircraft taxi-
ing on the maneuvering area is a joint pilot and controller responsibility. Taxi clearances shall con-
tain 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. Pilots vacating a holding bay shall give way to aircraft on
the taxiway.
1.2.3.6 Avoidance of collision on apron areas is a joint responsibility of the pilot-in-command
and any assisting company ground personnel. Information about other aircraft moving on the
same apron areas will be provided by ATC, or the apron service (where it exists as a discrete
service).
1.2.3.7 An aircraft taxiing 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.
1.2.3.8 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 776
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a runway intersecting a taxi route, ATC will issue a taxi instruction limit of the holding point associ-
ated with the intersecting runway.
1.2.3.9 An aircraft which has been issued with a taxi instruction limit of the holding point of a
runway intersecting the taxi route, or has been issued with an instruction to “HOLD SHORT” of
that runway, must subsequently be issued with an instruction to “CROSS RUNWAY (number)”.
1.2.3.10 Aircraft required to hold short of a runway must hold at the appropriate holding point for
that runway, or the runway strip edge at the intersection of a crossing runway.
1.2.3.11 A pilot wishing to use less than the full length of the runway available should nominate
the intention when requesting the taxi clearance.
1.2.3.12 ATC may offer an intersection departure and will advise the remaining runway length of
the runway if required.
1.2.3.13 A pilot-in-command unfamiliar with the aerodrome should “REQUEST DETAILED TAXI
INSTRUCTIONS”.
1.2.3.14 VFR flights wishing to depart without submitting flight notification must provide the fol-
lowing information on first contact with ATC:
a. aircraft call sign and “DETAILS” (Wait for a response from ATC);
b. destination and first tracking point;
c. preferred level; and
d. identification of ATIS code received.

1.3 PROVISION OF OPERATIONAL INFORMATION


1.3.1 ATC will supply the following information for take-off:
a. runway or direction;
b. wind direction and speed, QNH and, if required, temperature and/or dew-point;
c. a time check to the nearest half-minute upon commencing to taxi from the apron prior to
take-off;
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 downwind component, if the operation is downwind;
f. aerodrome surface conditions significant to the operation;
g. known weather information;
h. birds that may be a hazard to the operation; and
i. maintenance work within 23m of the runway side stripe marking.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 777
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.3.2 Nomination of Runways


1.3.2.1 ATC will nominate the runway, preferred runway or take-off direction. Where noise
abatement procedures are prescribed, and ATC traffic management permits, the provisions on
Terminal, Noise Abatement Procedures and appropriate Noise charts will be applied.
1.3.2.2 ATC will not nominate a particular runway for use if an alternative runway is available
(unless required by Noise Abatement legislation), when:
a. the alternative runway would be preferred due to low cloud, thunderstorms and/or poor visi-
bility;
b. for runways that are completely dry:
1. the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 20 kt;
2. the downwind component, including gusts, exceeds 5 kt;
c. for runways that are not completely dry:
1. the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 20 kt;
2. there is a downwind component.
d. wind shear has been reported.
NOTE: Notwithstanding the limitations detailed above, location specific crosswind / down-
wind limitations may be detailed on applicable Noise Abatement charts.
1.3.3 Selection of Take-off Direction
1.3.3.1 The pilot-in-command must ensure that the runway is suitable for the operation. If not
suitable for an operational reason, ATC must be advised before taxiing or when requesting an air-
ways clearance by using the phrase: “REQUIRE RUNWAY (number)”.
1.3.3.2 Such a request will not result in a loss of priority, provided it is made on first contact with
Clearance Delivery or before taxiing. The decision to take-off rests solely with the pilot-in-com-
mand.
1.3.4 Selection of Circuit Direction
1.3.4.1 Circuit directions and turns will be specified or authorized by ATC but will not be speci-
fied in the take-off clearance when a SID has been authorized.
1.3.4.2 A pilot-in-command must notify ATC if a particular turn or circuit is essential to the safe
operation of the aircraft by use of the word “REQUIRE”.
1.3.5 Departure Instructions
1.3.5.1 Departure instructions may contain the following as required:
a. aircraft identification;
b. heading instructions (see Note);
c. altitude restrictions;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 778
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

d. direction of turn;
e. tracking points; and
f. any other instructions.
NOTE: A pilot assigned a heading (including runway heading) must not compensate for wind
effect.
1.3.5.2 When a heading is assigned as a departure instruction, the pilot-in-command must
ensure that the heading and the direction of turn are read back. This requirement also applies to
the initial heading assigned by ATC as part of a radar SID.
NOTE: Where a radar SID “ASSIGNED HEADING” approximates the runway bearing, a direction
of turn will NOT be given. Pilots must turn to the assigned heading by the shortest arc.
1.3.6 Terrain and Obstacle Clearance
1.3.6.1 Obstacle/terrain avoidance while below the LSALT or MSA, as applicable, is a pilot
responsibility except in the circumstances described in the next paragraph.
1.3.6.2 ATC is responsible for terrain clearance when an aircraft has been assigned a level
using ATS surveillance service terrain clearance procedures until:
a. the pilot is assigned the responsibility for maintaining such clearance visually, or
b. a visual or instrument approach is commenced.

1.4 TAKE-OFF
1.4.1 Change to Tower Frequency
1.4.1.1 International aircraft will be instructed by ATC when to change to the tower frequency
prior to take-off. Domestic aircraft should change to tower frequency:
a. in the holding bay; or
b. close to, or at, the holding point of the nominated runway when ready for take-off.
1.4.1.2 At Class D aerodromes at which parallel runway operations are in progress, pilots must
identify the departure runway when reporting ready. For example: '...(callsign) READY, RUNWAY
RIGHT.'
1.4.1.3 For operations wholly within a Class D CTR the pilot must report ready with intentions
(e.g., circuits, training area north, etc.). Additionally, for aircraft not in receipt of airways clearance
that will depart the Class D CTR, advise tracking details (e.g., departing via __ for __), departure
procedure, etc.
1.4.2 Runway Entry
A pilot-in-command must not enter any runway, whether or not it is in use, unless a specific clear-
ance to:
a. take-off,
b. line-up,
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 779
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

c. backtrack, or
d. cross,
has been received, or a clearance to enter for other purposes has been received from ATC and
the stop bar lights, where fitted, have been switched off.
1.4.2.2 An ATC clearance to line-up does not authorize the pilot in command to backtrack on the
runway.
1.4.2.3 When a backtrack on the runway nominated for take-off is required, the pilot must indi-
cate this intention to ATC and obtain a clearance to backtrack prior to entering the runway.
1.4.2.4 When a backtrack on the runway will involve crossing an intersecting runway, the back-
track instruction must include either a “CROSS RUNWAY (number)” instruction or an instruction
to “HOLD SHORT” of that runway.
1.4.2.5 Aircraft required to hold short of a runway must hold at the appropriate holding point, or
the runway strip edge at the intersection of a crossing runway.
1.4.2.6 An aircraft which has been issued with an instruction to “HOLD SHORT” of an intersect-
ing runway must subsequently be issued with an instruction to “CROSS RUNWAY (number)”.
1.4.3 Holding on Runway
1.4.3.1 The pilot-in-command must not hold on the runway in use unless permission to do so
has been obtained from ATC.
1.4.4 Clearance Required
1.4.4.1 A pilot-in-command must not take off unless the specific clearance “CLEARED FOR
TAKE-OFF” has been received.
1.4.4.2 A clearance for immediate take-off may be issued to an aircraft before it enters the
runway. On acceptance of such clearance the aircraft shall taxi out to the runway and take off in
one continuous movement.
1.4.5 Separation Minima for Take-off
1.4.5.1 An aircraft will not be permitted to 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 of
the following aircraft; or
4. if the preceding aircraft has a MTOW of 7000kg or less and the following aircraft has a
MTOW below 2000kg and is slower, the preceding aircraft is airborne and is at least
600m ahead of the following aircraft; or
5. if both aircraft have a MTOW below 2000kg, the preceding aircraft is airborne and is at
least 600m ahead of the following aircraft.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 780
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

b. a preceding landing aircraft using the same runway has vacated it and is taxiing away from
the runway; and
c. a preceding aircraft, using another runway, has crossed or stopped short of the take-off air-
craft's runway.
NOTE: Where reasonable to do so, ATC may issue a take-off clearance in anticipation that
the prescribed separation will exist at the time that the take-off roll is commenced.
1.4.5.2 Other than as specified in Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO), exceptions to this
application of separation standards are:
a. aircraft taking off in formation with respect to each other;
b. aircraft operating in different areas or lanes on aerodromes with runways or facilities suitable
for simultaneous take-offs (CAR 168); and
c. the avoidance of wake turbulence.

1.5 VISUAL DEPARTURE – IFR FLIGHTS


1.5.1 By day in VMC, the pilot of an IFR flight may request a visual departure, or ATC may issue
a visual departure.
1.5.2 ATC Responsibilities
1.5.2.1 ATC will only issue a visual departure to an IFR flight when the cloud base is such that
the pilot can maintain flight in VMC below the MVA (ATS surveillance services) or the MSA /
LSALT.
1.5.2.2 When an IFR aircraft is issued heading instructions and/or required to maintain a level
below the MVA or MSA / LSALT during a visual departure, “VISUAL” will be appended to the
departure instruction.
1.5.3 Pilot Responsibilities
1.5.3.1 A pilot of an IFR flight may only request a visual departure when the cloud base will
allow the aircraft to climb in VMC to the MSA / LSALT applicable to the departure. Additionally, if
the intended cruising level is lower than route LSALT, the cloud base must permit flight in VMC at
that level.
1.5.3.2 During the conduct of a visual departure, a pilot must:
a. maintain the track(s) / heading(s) authorized by ATC;
b. remain not less than 500 ft above the lower limit of the CTA; and
c. visually maintain obstacle clearance.

1.6 VFR DEPARTURE BY AN AIRCRAFT PLANNED IFR


1.6.1 The pilot of an IFR flight departing a Class D aerodrome may request a VFR departure
with the expectation of obtaining an IFR clearance en-route.
1.6.2 The pilot of an IFR flight conducting a VFR departure:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 781
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a. must comply with the VFR.


b. is responsible for separation with other aircraft within the Class D airspace.
c. must obtain ATC clearance prior to entering Class A or C airspace.
d. must obtain ATC clearance to resume IFR in Class A, C, D or E airspace.
e. must notify ATC when reverting to IFR once in Class G airspace.
1.6.3 When an IFR aircraft conducts a VFR departure, ATC will treat the aircraft as:
a. VFR for separation services in Classes C, D and E airspace until the pilot requests and is
granted an IFR clearance.
b. VFR in Class C or D airspace and VFR in receipt of an SIS in Class E or G airspace for traf-
fic information.
c. IFR for all other services, such as SAR, weather and NOTAM information, in all classes of
airspace.

1.7 AFTER TAKE-OFF


1.7.1 Airborne Report — Class C Control Zones
1.7.1.1 In Class C control zones (where an ATS surveillance service is provided), on first con-
tact with departures control, a pilot must report:
a. the direction of turn;
b. the initial heading;
c. the altitude passing, to nearest 100 ft; and
d. the last assigned level.
1.7.1.2 However, an aircraft tracking via a SID which does not incorporate initial heading instruc-
tions is only required to advise altitude passing and confirm assigned level.
1.7.2 Departure Report — Class D Control Zones
1.7.2.1 In Class D control zones (where a procedural service is provided), the pilot of an IFR
flight must report after take-off:
a. departure time (if applicable);
b. tracking information;
c. the last assigned altitude; and
d. the estimate for the first enroute reporting point.
1.7.2.2 The departure time must be calculated as follows:
a. current time minus an adjustment for the distance from the aerodrome; or
b. when over or abeam the aerodrome.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 782
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.7.2.3 Tracking information must confirm the track established with reference to the appropriate
navigation aid or, if tracking via a SID, confirm the SID identifier.
1.7.3 Establishment on Track
1.7.3.1 Unless tracking via a SID or otherwise instructed by ATC, a pilot-in-command must
remain within 5 NM of the departure aerodrome to establish flight on the departure track as soon
as practicable after take-off.
1.7.4 Frequency Change
1.7.4.1 When frequency change instructions are issued immediately preceding the take-off
clearance, pilots must transfer automatically from Tower as soon as practicable after take-off,
preferably within one mile of becoming airborne.
1.7.4.2 In all other situations, pilots of departing aircraft are required to remain on Tower fre-
quency until specific frequency change instructions are issued. Pilots can generally expect an
instruction to contact Departures Control prior to reaching 2000 ft and should, when advised,
effect the change as soon as practicable.
1.7.4.3 When contacting Area Control, 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.

1.8 VFR CLIMB AND DESCENT – IFR FLIGHTS


1.8.1 General
1.8.1.1 A pilot of an IFR flight, operating in VMC, in Classes “D” and “E” airspace, may request
to climb/descend VFR.
1.8.1.2 When, in the controller’s judgement, there is reason to believe that flight in VMC may
become impracticable, the controller will issue an alternative clearance that ensures separation
from all other aircraft for which he/she has separation responsibility.
1.8.1.3 The pilot of an IFR flight cleared to “Climb/Descend VFR” will receive a service in
accordance with ATC Procedures outlined below.
1.8.1.4 An appropriate clearance must be obtained prior to entering a different class of control-
led airspace.
1.8.2 Pilot Procedures
1.8.2.1 The pilot of an IFR flight requires a clearance to conduct a VFR climb/descent in VMC.
1.8.2.2 When operating in VMC with an ATC clearance to “Climb/Descend VFR”, pilots of IFR
flights must:
a. comply with the VFR visibility and distance from cloud criteria stipulated in GENERAL
FLIGHT PROCEDURES paragraph 3;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 783
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

b. comply with instrument flight rules that are applicable to the flight; ie, position reporting, radio
communications, cleared route, adherence to ATC clearance, etc; and
c. visually maintain obstacle clearance.
1.8.2.3 The pilot of an IFR flight operating VFR climb/descent must maintain vigilance so as to
see and avoid other aircraft. Additionally, the pilot accepts the responsibility for wake turbulence
separation.
1.8.3 ATC Procedures
1.8.3.1 On receiving a request for VFR climb/descent, ATC may instruct the pilot to “Climb/
Descent VFR” for a specified portion of the flight.
1.8.3.2 When the pilot is cleared to “Climb/Descend VFR”, ATC 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.

1.9 VFR-ON-TOP – IFR FLIGHTS


1.9.1 General
1.9.1.1 In Class “E” airspace, a pilot of an IFR flight may request VFR-on-top in lieu of an
assigned altitude. This permits a pilot to select a VFR altitude or flight level of his/her choice sub-
ject to any ATC restrictions.
1.9.1.2 Pilots desiring to climb through cloud, haze, smoke, or other meteorological formation
may request a climb to VFR-on-top.
1.9.1.3 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.
1.9.1.4 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 he/she has separation responsibility.
1.9.1.5 The pilot of an IFR flight cleared to “Maintain VFR-on-top” will receive a service in
accordance with ATC Procedures outlined below.
1.9.1.6 An appropriate clearance must be obtained prior to entering a different class of control-
led airspace.
1.9.1.7 ATC resumes separation responsibility when the aircraft is re-cleared to maintain an IFR
level.
1.9.2 Pilot Procedures
1.9.2.1 The pilot of an IFR flight requires a clearance to operate VFR-on-top.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 784
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.9.2.2 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.
1.9.2.3 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.
1.9.3 ATC Procedures
1.9.3.1 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.
1.9.3.2 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.
1.9.3.3 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.

1.10 DESCENT AND ENTRY


1.10.1 General
1.10.1.1 Most companies operating jet aircraft have agreed to a standard descent profile which
is specified in the operations manual for the aircraft. Pilots must adhere to the profile unless
operational reasons require, or ATC instructs or approves otherwise. A speed variation of more
than +/-10 kt or Mach .025 must be advised to ATC.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 785
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.10.1.2 Pilots are not required to nominate a descent point if identified.


1.10.1.3 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.
1.10.1.4 After any frequency change, pilots must advise the last assigned level and, if not main-
taining the assigned level, the level maintaining or last vacated level; eg, “MELBOURNE 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.
1.10.1.5 A clearance will be issued by ATC covering flight in controlled airspace. In addition,
when appropriate, ATC will advise:
a. the type of instrument approach to be expected;
b. when a delay of more than five (5) minutes is expected, the time at which ATC expects that
the aircraft will leave the holding fix to complete the expected instrument approach for land-
ing; and
c. if instructions are issued to hold for an indefinite period at a point other than the holding fix
referred to in b., the expected time of onward clearance.
1.10.1.6 When making first contact with Approach Control, the following apply:
a. Not Identified — report DME distance if available, together with either the radial if VOR
available, or compass quadrant from the aerodrome, assigned level, flight conditions and
advise receipt of the ATIS (code);
b. Identified — report assigned level, flight conditions, if appropriate, and receipt of the ATIS
(code);
c. Request clearance, if not previously issued.
1.10.1.7 Clearances will be issued direct to pilots by ATC. If the clearance involves a change of
level or route, or if a delay is to be expected, pilots will be advised when first contacting ATC.
1.10.1.8 Approach Control will provide instructions for progressive descent and specify any
change in route, clearance limits and holding instructions. Unless the acknowledged ATIS broad-
cast covers the information, Approach Control will also advise and update as necessary, details
of:
a. runway to be used;
b. landing information; and
c. type and expected time of approach.
1.10.1.9 Clearances to enter will specify the altitude, track and any holding instructions. Some of
these items may be combined with the clearance “CLEARED VISUAL APPROACH”.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 786

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.10 .2 Flights Entering Class C Airspace


1.10.2.1 Before reaching the boundary of Class C airspace, the pilot must establish two-way
communications with ATC on the published frequency, and obtain a clearance.
1.10.2.2 When advance notification has not been provided, the pilot-in-command must advise
the following to ATC before the point of intended entry:
a. aircraft call sign, “INBOUND / TRANSIT DETAILS” (wait for ATC to respond with your call-
sign), then advise;
1. flight rules and aircraft type,
2. position,
3. route and next estimate; and
4. preferred level.
1.10.2.3 If landing at an aerodrome where ATIS is provided, the pilot should obtain the ATIS
broadcast before first contact on the approach/tower frequency. On first contact advise ATIS
received.
1.10.2.4 The clearance to enter will specify the altitude, track and any holding instructions.
Some of these items may be combined with the clearance “CLEARED FOR VISUAL
APPROACH”.
1.10.3 Clearance to Enter Class D Airspace
1.10.3.1 Before entering Class D airspace, the pilot in command of an aircraft must establish
two-way radio communication with the Tower on the frequency notified on the chart or NOTAM.
Thereafter, the pilot-in-command must maintain those communications while in the Class D air-
space.
1.10.3.2 In initiating two-way communications, the pilot must advise current position, altitude,
intention, and any request(s).
NOTE 1: Radio contact should be initiated far enough from the Class D airspace boundary to pre-
clude entering the Class D airspace before two-way radio communications are established.
NOTE 2: If the controller responds to a radio call with,’ ...(aircraft callsign) [...(instructions)]’, radio
communications have been established and the pilot may enter the Class D airspace.
NOTE 3: If workload or traffic conditions prevent immediate entry into Class D airspace, the con-
troller will inform the pilot to remain outside the Class D airspace until conditions permit entry.
Example: ’...(aircraft callsign) REMAIN OUTSIDE CLASS D AIRSPACE.’
NOTE 4: It is important to understand that if the controller responds to the initial radio call without
using the aircraft callsign, radio communications have not been established and the pilot may not
enter the Class D airspace.
Examples: 'AIRCRAFT CALLING ARCHER TOWER, STANDBY.'
'AIRCRAFT CALLING ROCKY TOWER, SAY AGAIN.'

1.10.3.3 If landing at an aerodrome where ATIS is provided, the pilot should obtain the ATIS
before first contact on the tower frequency. On first contact advise ATIS received.
1.10.3.4 In establishing two-way communications, ATC may issue a specific instructions that
differ from altitude and intentions advised by the pilot. The pilot-in-command must comply with
any such instructions issued by ATC.
1.10.3.5 The pilot-in-command must not deviate from the track, level and intentions stated
during the establishment of two-way communications or the instructions issued by ATC (if these
instructions modify the stated track, level and intentions), unless authorized by ATC.
1.10.3.6 Unless ATC specifically instructs otherwise, establishment of two-way communications
permits a pilot, intending to land at an aerodrome within Class D airspace, to descend as neces-
sary to join the aerodrome traffic circuit.
1.10.4 Cancelling IFR Class D Aerodrome Arrivals
1.10.4.1 To expedite arrival at a Class D aerodrome, the pilot of an IFR flight may elect to
cancel IFR (provided the weather conditions permit VFR), and conduct the approach under VFR.
1.10.4.2 Pilot's must advise this intention by using the phrase “CANCEL IFR.”
1.10.5 Flights Entering a Controlled Airspace from Class G Airspace
1.10.5.1 When communications facilities exist and the controlled airspace and non-towered aer-
odrome are in close proximity, a clearance should be obtained direct on the ATC frequency.
When this is not possible, clearances should be requested through the ATS unit providing serv-
ices in Class G airspace.
1.10.5.2 Aircraft cleared for a visual approach or instrument approach procedure will not be
assigned a level restriction.
1.10.6 Instrument Approach
1.10.6.1 Unless authorized to make a visual approach, an IFR flight must conform to the pub-
lished instrument approach procedure nominated by ATC.
1.10.6.2 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.
1.10.6.3 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.
1.10.6.4 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 read-backs relating to the proce-
dure, including entry procedures. However, with the exception of circling approaches, the suffix
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 788
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

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.
1.10.6.5 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.
1.10.7 Visual Approach
1.10.7.1 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:
1. By day when:
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the aerodrome; and
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the aerodrome 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
aerodrome is in sight.
2. By night when:
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the aerodrome 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 aerodrome; or
– receiving an ATS surveillance service, 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 aerodrome.
b. For a VFR flight by day and night, the aircraft is within 30 NM of the aerodrome.
1.10.7.2 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.
1.10.7.3 In the case of sub-para b. above, the aircraft will be:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 789
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a. vectored to intercept final no closer than 8 NM from the runway threshold, at an altitude not
less than 2500 ft Above Aerodrome 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.
1.10.7.4 Tracking Requirements — Tracking requirements for a visual approach include the
following:
a. A pilot-in-command must maintain track/heading on the route progressively authorized by
ATC until:
1. by day, within 5 NM of the aerodrome; or
2. by night:
– for an IFR flight, within the prescribed circling area; or
– for a VFR flight, within 3 NM of the aerodrome; and
– the aerodrome is in sight.
b. From this position the circuit must be joined, as directed by ATC for an approach to the nom-
inated runway.
1.10.7.5 Minimum Altitude Requirements — During the conduct of a visual approach, a pilot
must descend as necessary to:
a. By day:
1. for an IFR flight, remain not less than 500 ft above the lower limit of the CTA; and
2. for IFR and VFR flights, operate not below the lowest altitude permissible for VFR flight.
(CAR 157)
b. By night:
1. for an IFR flight:
– maintain an altitude not less than the route segment LSALT/MSA or the appropriate
step of the DME/GPS Arrival procedure, or 500 ft above the lower limit of the CTA, if
this is higher; or
– if receiving an ATS surveillance service, operate not below the last assigned altitude;
until the aircraft is:
– within the prescribed circling area for the category of aircraft or a higher category,
where the limitations of the higher category are complied with, and the aerodrome is
in sight; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 790
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

– within 5 NM (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS) of the aerodrome, aligned with
the runway centerline and established not below “on slope” on the T-VASIS or PAPI;
or
– within 10 NM of the aerodrome (14 NM for Runways 16L and 34L at Sydney), estab-
lished not below the ILS glidepath with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
2. for a VFR flight:
– maintain not less than the lowest altitude permissible for VFR flight (CAR 174B) until
the aircraft is within 3 NM of the aerodrome and the aerodrome is in sight.
1.10.7.6 When conducting a visual approach, a pilot-in-command must not climb above an alti-
tude reported to ATC as having been reached or left, unless authorized to do so.
1.10.7.7 A pilot-in-command operating under the IFR who desires a visual approach and is sat-
isfied that the visual conditions can be met must report “VISUAL”. A pilot who is unable to con-
tinue a visual approach which has been authorized by ATC must immediately advise ATC.
1.10.7.8 A pilot reporting “VISUAL” may initially be given a clearance below LSALT to a specific
altitude in the following terms:
a. by day, “DESCEND TO (level) VISUAL”; or
b. by night, “WHEN ESTABLISHED IN THE CIRCLING AREA, DESCEND TO (level) VISUAL”.
1.10.7.9 A pilot descending to and maintaining a specific altitude visually below the LSALT must
comply with the minimum altitude requirements.
1.10.7.10 A pilot may be assigned the responsibility to follow another arriving aircraft which
he/she has reported sighting. When assigned this responsibility, the pilot must maintain separa-
tion from and not overtake that aircraft. In this circumstance, the pilot is also responsible for pro-
viding his/her own wake turbulence separation. If sighting is subsequently lost, advise ATC imme-
diately.

1.11 HOLDING
1.11.1 A pilot-in-command cleared to a point for which there is an approved holding pattern
must hold in that pattern until further cleared. Where a delay of more than five (5) minutes is
expected, ATC will advise:
a. an expected landing time, when an ATS surveillance service is provided; or
b. an expected approach time, when a procedural service is provided.
1.11.2 During an instrument approach sequence, the aircraft estimated to arrive first over a
holding fix will be assigned the lowest level available for assignment, and succeeding aircraft will
be given priority in the order of their estimated times of arrival over such points.
1.11.3 A pilot, who is holding, will be given a STACK DEPARTURE TIME, or a time at which to
EXPECT ONWARDS CLEARANCE. If the aircraft is subject to further delay an EXPECTED
LANDING TIME will be advised.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 791
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.11.4 At the time or position advised, the pilot must advise departure from the stack, and state
heading and altitude. A pilot should endeavor to leave the holding fix on time, but one (1) minute
ahead of time is acceptable.
1.11.5 When operationally necessary, a pilot in command holding in an approach sequence
must advise ATC of the latest divert time.
1.11.6 When an aircraft is holding because airspace is closed or weather conditions are worse
than the prescribed landing minima, ATC will nominate scheduled reporting times. These times
will normally be at 15 minute intervals.
1.11.7 When leaving an enroute holding pattern, jet aircraft must maintain 250 kt IAS. Aircraft
should maintain a constant IAS, and any sustained speed variation of more than 10 kt must be
advised to ATC (see TERMINAL, Holding Procedures paragraph 2.1 for maximum aircraft speeds
in the holding pattern).
1.11.8 Unless previously advised, the controller will advise the latest weather information, type
of approach, and runway to be used. Significant variations to this information will be advised as
required. However, during the final stages of approach, such information will be limited to items
which could affect the safety of the aircraft.

1.12 LANDING
1.12.1 Provision of Operational Information
1.12.1.1 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. a time check (to the nearest half minute), whenever a time to commence final is specified by
ATC;
e. 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;
f. the downwind component if a pilot operates downwind;
g. aerodrome surface conditions significant to the operation, including maintenance work within
23m of the runway side stripe marking;
h. birds or other hazards to aircraft; and
i. cautionary advice of wake turbulence.
1.12.2 Selection of Landing Direction
1.12.2.1 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 792
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

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 aerodrome (including Essendon)
or 30 NM from other primary controlled aerodromes, for arriving aircraft wholly within control-
led airspace; 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.
1.12.2.2 The decision to land rests solely with the pilot-in-command.
1.12.3 Selection of Circuit Direction
1.12.3.1 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.
1.12.4 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.
1.12.5 Clearances
1.12.5.1 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 aerodrome.
1.12.6 Separation Minima for Landing
1.12.6.1 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.
1.12.6.2 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 793
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

– 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 7,000KG, and
– the following landing aircraft has a MTOW of 2,000KG or less, or
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.
1.12.6.3 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 aerodromes with runways or facilities suitable
for simultaneous landings.

1.13 CIRCUIT OPERATIONS


1.13.1 Sequencing
1.13.1.1 When appropriate, ATC will issue a sequencing instruction.
1.13.1.2 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).
1.13.1.3 ATC may issue a sequence number. Sequence numbers specify the landing sequence
position of an aircraft with respect to any preceding traffic.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 794
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.13.1.4 When issued with a sequencing instruction, a pilot must follow the preceding aircraft
and continue to do so unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
1.13.1.5 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.
1.13.2 Non-Standard Circuit Operations
1.13.2.1 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.
1.13.2.2 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.
1.13.3 Parallel Runway Operations at Class D Aerodromes
Where a Class D aerodrome is equipped with parallel runways, ATC may sequence aircraft for
simultaneous 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 clear-
ance required to enter the opposite circuit or airspace.

1.14 GO AROUND AND MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE IN VMC


1.14.1 In the event that an aircraft 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 cannot clear obstacles on runway track, the aircraft may turn.
1.14.2 The exception to the above procedure is that at Sydney visual go-arounds must be car-
ried out:
a. in accordance with the published ILS missed approach procedure for the runway the aircraft
is using; or
b. as directed by ATC.
1.14.3 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.
1.14.4 At Class D aerodromes 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 795
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

1.15 TAXIING AFTER LANDING


1.15.1 A pilot-in-command must not hold on the runway in use unless ATC has so authorized.
1.15.2 After landing, unless otherwise specified by ATC, an aircraft must:
a. promptly vacate the runway without backtracking;
b. change from the aerodrome frequency to the SMC frequency (where established) when
vacating 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.
1.15.3 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 holding point
associated with the intersecting runway.
1.15.4 An aircraft which has been issued with a taxi instruction limit of the holding point of a
runway intersecting the taxi route, or has been issued with an instruction to “HOLD SHORT” of
that runway, must subsequently be issued with an instruction to “CROSS RUNWAY (number)”.
1.15.5 Aircraft required to hold short of a runway must hold at the appropriate holding point for
that runway, or the runway strip edge at the intersection of a crossing runway.
1.15.6 When separate frequencies for aerodrome control and surface movement control (SMC)
are in use, the pilot-in-command, on landing, must change from the aerodrome control frequency
to the SMC frequency on vacating the runway strip, and then transmit the aircraft call sign and, if
applicable, parking bay number. A pilot-in-command may “REQUEST DETAILED TAXI
INSTRUCTIONS TO (location)”.
The taxi clearance regulates movement on the maneuvering area. The separation of aircraft taxi-
ing on the maneuvering area is a joint pilot and controller responsibility. Taxi clearance shall con-
tain 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.
1.15.8 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.
1.15.9 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.
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.
2.2.3 Pilots of VFR flights should avoid IFR holding patterns.

3 PARALLEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS AT CLASS C


AERODROMES
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 Simultaneous parallel runway operations may be used for:
a. independent parallel approaches and/or departures;
b. dependent parallel approaches and/or departures;
c. segregated parallel approaches and departures; or
d. simultaneous opposite direction operations (SODPROPS).

3.2 PILOT NOTIFICATION


3.2.1 Whenever parallel runway operations are in progress, pilots will be notified by inclusion of
that advice, and an expectation of the type of approach or departure, on the ATIS. For example:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 797
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

“PARALLEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS, EXPECT INDEPENDENT VISUAL


APPROACH, INDEPENDENT DEPARTURES IN PROGRESS;” or
“INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES IN PROGRESS, EXPECT ILS PRM APPROACH,
INDEPENDENT DEPARTURES IN PROGRESS.”
3.2.2 The use of Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations (SODPROPS)
will be broadcast on the ATIS, including the runway configuration being used for the procedure.
For example:
“RUNWAY ONE SIX LEFT FOR DEPARTURES, RUNWAY THREE FOUR LEFT FOR ARRIV-
ALS. SIMULTANEOUS OPPOSITE DIRECTION PARALLEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS IN PRO-
GRESS.”
3.2.3 Pilots will be advised of the runway expectation and localizer frequency as soon as practi-
cable after first contact with Approach / Director.

4 PARALLEL INSTRUMENT APPROACHES


4.1 DEPENDENT APPROACHES IN IMC
4.1.1 Dependent parallel approaches may be conducted to parallel runways with centerlines
separated by more than 915m provided that:
a. the aircraft are making straight-in approaches;
b. Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches are being conducted on adjacent runways;
c. a minimum of 1000 ft vertical or 3 NM radar separation is provided between aircraft during
the turn-on to parallel ILS localizer courses;
d. aircraft established on the same ILS localizer course are radar separated by a minimum of 3
NM unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence;
e. successive aircraft on adjacent ILS localizer courses are separated by a minimum of 2 NM
by radar; and
f. the missed approach track for one approach diverges by at least 30 degrees from the
missed approach track of the adjacent approach.

4.2 INDEPENDENT APPROACHES IN IMC


4.2.1 Requirements for pilot participation in independent parallel (ILS PRM) approaches in IMC
are detailed on the Sydney (-Kingsford Smith) Airport chart titled “ILS PRM USER INSTRUC-
TIONS.” Pilots unable to participate in an ILS PRM approach must notify ATC prior to 120 DME
SY (or, if departing within 120 DME SY, on first contact with ATC).
4.2.2 Independent parallel approaches may be conducted to parallel runways with centerlines
separated by more than 1035m provided that:
a. for runways separated by greater than 1525m, suitable surveillance radar with a minimum
azimuth accuracy of 0.3 degree (one sigma) and update period of five (5) seconds or less is
available;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 798
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

b. for runways separated by less than 1525m, a suitable surveillance radar with a minimum
azimuth accuracy of 0.06 degree (one sigma) and update period of 2.5 seconds or less and
a high resolution display providing position prediction and deviation alert, is available;
c. a No-Transgression Zone (NTZ) is depicted on the situation display (the NTZ is 610m wide
and is established equidistant between runway centerlines, beginning from the point where
adjacent aircraft first lose vertical separation, and extends to 0.5 NM beyond the farthest
Departure End of Runway (DER));
d. the aircraft are making straight-in approaches;
e. Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches are being conducted to both runways;
f. a minimum of 1000 ft vertical or 3 NM radar separation is provided until aircraft are estab-
lished on the ILS localizer course;
g. when aircraft are established on the ILS localizer course, a minimum of 1000 ft vertical sep-
aration or 2 NM radar separation is provided between aircraft on adjacent localizers until the
higher aircraft reaches the ILS PRM initial approach fix;
h. aircraft established on the same ILS localizer course are radar separated by a minimum of 3
NM unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence;
i. the missed approach track for one approach diverges by at least 30 degrees from the
missed approach track of the adjacent approach;
j. when an aircraft is vectored to intercept the ILS localizer course, the final vector permits the
aircraft to intercept at an angle not greater than 30 degrees and provides for at least 1 NM
straight flight prior to ILS localizer course intercept;
k. the aircraft are cleared to descend to the appropriate glidepath intercept altitude soon
enough to provide a period of level flight to dissipate excess speed;
l. the aircraft are transferred to the respective aerodrome control frequency and monitoring the
relevant PRM frequency no later than 2 NM prior to the higher ILS PRM glidepath intercept
point.

4.3 RADAR MONITORING OF APPROACHES


4.3.1 Regardless of weather conditions, aircraft must be radar monitored as being established
on the ILS localizer course until:
a. for runways separated by greater than 1525m:
1. visual separation is applied; or
2. the aircraft is 1 NM or less from the runway threshold.
b. for runways separated by less than 1525m:
1. visual separation is applied;
2. the aircraft reports the approach lights in sight; or
3. the aircraft has landed; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 799
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

4. in the event of a missed approach, the aircraft is 0.5 NM beyond the DER.

4.4 BREAK-OUT PROCEDURES


4.4.1 When the PRM indicates that a track will penetrate the NTZ, ATC will advise the aircraft of
the deviation. Pilots are not required to acknowledge this transmission.
4.4.2 When an aircraft is observed penetrating the NTZ, that aircraft and affected aircraft on the
adjacent localizer course will be issued with appropriate heading and altitude instructions to
resolve the confliction. Where either aircraft is 1 NM or less from the runway threshold, it may be
allowed to continue its approach and land if provided with traffic information on the relevant air-
craft.
4.4.3 When issued with break-out instructions, pilots must immediately discontinue the approach
by:
a. manually flying the aircraft to the required heading without delay;
b. climbing (or descending) to the altitude specified by ATC; and
c. reading back the ATC instruction as soon as practicable.
NOTE: A descending break-out will only be issued in exceptional circumstances.

4.5 TCAS SELECTION


4.5.1 Pilots should maintain TCAS selection in the RA mode.
4.5.2 The TCAS provides only vertical resolution of aircraft conflicts, while the ATC breakout
instruction provides both vertical and horizontal guidance for conflict resolutions. Should a TCAS
Resolution Advisory (RA) be received, the pilot should immediately respond to the RA. If following
the RA requires deviating from an ATC clearance, the pilot must advise ATC as soon as practica-
ble. While following the RA, compliance with the turn portion of the ATC breakout instruction is
mandatory unless the pilot determines safety to be a prohibiting factor. Adhering to these proce-
dures will ensure that acceptable “breakout” separation margins will always be provided, even in
the face of a normal procedural or system failure.

4.6 SUSPENSION OF APPROACHES


4.6.1 Independent parallel approaches to parallel runways spaced less than 1525m will be sus-
pended during periods of severe weather such as thunderstorms, windshear, turbulence, down
draughts or crosswinds which might increase ILS localizer course deviations to an unacceptable
level of deviation alerts.

5 PARALLEL VISUAL APPROACHES


5.1 DEPENDENT VISUAL APPROACHES
5.1.1 Dependent visual approaches to parallel runways may be conducted in accordance with
procedures and requirements for visual approaches.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 800
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

5.2 INDEPENDENT VISUAL APPROACHES


5.2.1 Independent visual approaches may be conducted to parallel runways with centerlines
separated by at least 760m provided that:
a. the aircraft are making straight-in approaches commencing at the outer marker or 4 NM from
the runway threshold;
b. a minimum 1000 ft vertical or 3 NM radar separation is maintained between aircraft until:
1. one aircraft is established within the furthest Initial Approach Fix (IAF), when both air-
craft are established on their respective localizer in visual conditions; or
2. one aircraft is established on the localizer in visual conditions, and the other is estab-
lished on a heading to intercept final inside the furthest IAF with the runway reported in
sight; or
3. both aircraft are established on a heading to intercept final inside the furthest IAF with
the runway reported in sight; and
c. when an aircraft is vectored to intercept the final course, the final vector permits the aircraft
to intercept at an angle not greater than 30°.
5.2.2 Aircraft may be processed via an ILS approach until visual, then cleared for an independ-
ent visual approach. Notification will be by the ATIS using the phrase “EXPECT ILS APPROACH
THEN INDEPENDENT VISUAL APPROACH WHEN VISUAL”. When visual, the pilot will be
cleared for a visual approach and will be required to comply with the responsibilities listed under
PILOT RESPONSIBILITIES.
5.2.3 Traffic information regarding aircraft approaching to land on the adjacent centerline will
only be provided when the separation requirements specified in paragraph 5.2.1b. above are not
met.
5.2.4 A pilot should report “VISUAL” and/or “RUNWAY (number) LEFT/RIGHT IN SIGHT” as
soon as possible after first contact with Approach / Director. If a pilot does not report the runway
in sight by a position 3 NM from the centerline of the adjacent parallel runway, the controller may,
if necessary, vector the aircraft away from the final approach for sequencing for a dependent
approach.
5.2.5 The “VISUAL” report is the only report required when established on the localizer.
5.2.6 The “RUNWAY (number) LEFT/RIGHT IN SIGHT” report indicates that the pilot can main-
tain the runway in sight throughout the approach. If visual contact is lost, the pilot must advise
ATC immediately.

5.3 PILOT RESPONSIBILITIES


5.3.1 Pilots of aircraft conducting independent visual approaches are responsible for:
a. flying accurate headings when being vectored to final;
b. ensuring that the runway centerline is not crossed during intercept;
c. accurately tracking the extended runway centerline;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 801
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

d. maintaining a visual lookout for aircraft approaching the parallel runway;


e. in the event of an aircraft not complying with a., b. or c. above, maintaining the necessary
separation from aircraft on the other approach;
f. advising ATC immediately when avoiding action is initiated or visual contact with the runway
is lost; and
g. meeting the obstacle clearance requirements for night visual approaches.

5.4 CHANGE OF RUNWAY FOR SEPARATION DURING INDEPENDENT


VISUAL APPROACHES
5.4.1 To avoid a ‘go around’ and ensure the maintenance of separation, a controller may offer
an aircraft already established on final a change of runway (right to left or left to right). An offer of
a change of runway shall include the new localizer frequency and shall only be made when the
aircraft is:
a. in visual conditions; and
b. outside 5 NM from the aircraft’s intended threshold.

5.5 SEGREGATED OPERATIONS IN IMC


5.5.1 Segregated parallel operations in instrument conditions may be conducted on parallel run-
ways with centerlines separated by more than 760m provided the nominal departure track
diverges immediately after take-off by at least 30° from the missed approach track of the adjacent
approach.
5.5.2 The following types of approaches may be conducted in segregated parallel operations:
a. ILS precision;
b. radar; or
c. visual.

5.6 INDEPENDENT DEPARTURES


5.6.1 Independent departures can be conducted provided that:
a. ATC instructions permit the courses of the respective aircraft to diverge by at least 15
degrees immediately after take-off; and
b. the aircraft will be identified within 1 NM of the upwind end of the departure runway.

5.7 SIMULTANEOUS OPPOSITE DIRECTION OPERATIONS


5.7.1 Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations (SODPROPS) may be con-
ducted subject to the following conditions:
a. Runway centerlines are separated by a minimum of 860m.
b. Operations are conducted in meteorological conditions equal to or better than the minimum
vectoring level, or the lowest minimum commencement level for instrument approaches to

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

the arrival runway, whichever is lower. (Without prior approval, the minima shall not be less
than cloud base 2500 ft and visibility 8km in the arrival and departure sector concerned.)
c. Traffic information is passed on conflicting aircraft.
d. The departure runway course diverges by 15 degrees from the approach course of the other
runway.
5.7.2 All arriving aircraft conducting instrument or visual approaches to the arrival runway shall:
a. intercept the final course at an angle not greater than 30 degrees;
b. be retained on the controller's frequency until the aircraft is established on final; and
c. be established on final approach and transferred to tower frequency no later than 10 NM
from touchdown. If divergence between tracks is greater than 15 degrees, this distance may
be amended to take account of local circumstances.
NOTE: In the event of LOC failure, ATC should confirm with the pilot of an aircraft on a visual
approach that the runway is in sight.
5.7.3 Traffic information, which will include the runway and position of the traffic and may
include aircraft type, will be passed to arriving and departing aircraft as follows:
a. Arriving aircraft will be advised of all departing aircraft that can be expected to depart off the
opposite direction parallel runway and are likely to pass when within 10 NM of touchdown.
For example:
“TRAFFIC (aircraft type) DEPARTING ON OPPOSITE DIRECTION PARALLEL RUNWAY,
TURNING EAST”
b. Departing aircraft will be advised of all arriving aircraft that can be expected on final for the
opposite direction parallel runway and are likely to pass when within 10 NM of departure. For
example:
“TRAFFIC (aircraft type) EIGHT MILES FROM TOUCHDOWN FOR OPPOSITE DIRECTION
PARALLEL RUNWAY”
NOTE 1: The distance of 10 NM may be reduced if the divergence between tracks is greater
than 15 degrees.
NOTE 2: Pilots are not required to report traffic sighted.

6 OPERATIONS IN CLASS G AIRSPACE


6.1 COMMUNICATIONS
6.1.1 The pilot of an IFR aircraft operating from a non-towered aerodrome must attempt to con-
tact ATS on VHF or HF when taxiing. If the pilot is unable to establish contact, the flight may pro-
ceed on a broadcast basis provided contact is established as soon as possible after take-off, and:
a. in the case of an RPT, CHTR or AWK flight, the pilot is assured of radio contact with his or
her operator, or a representative of his or her operator who has immediate access to a serv-
iceable telephone, until contact is made with ATS; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 803
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

b. for flights other than RPT, a SARTIME for departure has been established with a maximum
of 30 minutes from EOBT.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A). Refer
also to CAAP 166–2(0) – Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoidance in the vicinity of non-towered
(non-controlled) aerodromes using ’see-and-avoid’.
6.1.2 The Pilot of an IFR flight departing from a non-towered aerodrome must report “IFR” when
making first contact with ATS.
6.1.3 A pilot of other than an IFR RPT flight 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 nominated
SARTIME for departure.
NOTE: VFR RPT must comply with CAO 82.3, paragraph 7.3 (not published herein) or as other-
wise approved.
6.1.4 To achieve the greatest degree of safety CAR 166C requires pilots of aircraft carrying a
serviceable radio which they are qualified to use, to make a broadcast whenever it is reasonably
necessary to do so to avoid a collision, or the risk of a collision with another aircraft at a non-tow-
ered aerodrome. In certain circumstances carriage of radio and being qualified to use it are man-
datory – (Refer to SUMMARY OF REPORT AND BROADCAST REQUIREMENTS and reference
CAAP 166–1(0)).
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A). Refer
also to CAAP 166–2(0) Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoidance in the vicinity of non-towered
(non-controlled) aerodromes using ’see-and-avoid’.
6.1.5 Only pilots of radio equipped aircraft, and who are qualified to use the radio, may operate
at, or in the vicinity of, an aerodrome where radio carriage is required.
6.1.6 Pilots of aircraft transiting in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome should monitor the
designated CTAF while within 10NM of the aerodrome. Pilots should respond to other traffic
broadcasts and advise their position and intentions so as to avoid traffic conflict. Pilots should
avoid flying over the aerodrome at an altitude that could conflict with operations in the vicinity of
the aerodrome.
6.1.7 When a report from an IFR flight is made to ATS on HF, a broadcast on the appropriate
CTAF or area VHF is also required.

6.2 CIRCUIT INFORMATION, SEPARATION MINIMA AND HEIGHT


6.2.1 Circuit Information
6.2.1.1 Pilots should fly a circuit commensurate with the aircraft type they are operating. How-
ever 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 804
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

6.2.1.2 Left-hand circuits is the standard traffic circuit that must normally be made. Right-hand
circuit requirements are listed on Terminal Airport charts or in the Airport Directory.
6.2.1.3 Aircraft should not be operated in the circuit at an indicated airspeed of more than 200
kts.
6.2.1.4 During the initial climb-out the turn onto crosswind should be made appropriate to the
performance of the aircraft, but in any case not less than 500FT (CAR166A(2)(f), so as to be at
circuit height when turning downwind.
6.2.1.5 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
6.2.1.6 Pilots are encouraged to turn on aircraft landing lights, anti-collision lights and strobe
lights, where fitted, when in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome, until the aircraft has landed.
6.2.1.7 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-towered aerodrome. In the event of a radio failure it is important that pilots select
7600 on their transponder and continue squawking.
6.2.1.8 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
aircraft 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.
6.2.2 Separation Minima
6.2.2.1 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 805
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

6.2.2.2 At aerodromes 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. Where gliders and glider tugs operate to a contra-circuit,
simultaneous operations are permitted.
6.2.3 Circuit Height
6.2.3.1 When operating at non-towered aerodromes, the following circuit heights are recommen-
ded:
a. High performance – includes jets and many turbo-prop aircraft, above approximately 150KT,
1500FT AGL;
b. Medium performance – includes most piston engine aircraft , between approximately 55KT
and 150KT,1000FT AGL;
c. Low performance – ultralights and rotary wing with a maximum speed of approximately
55KT, 500FT AGL (Refer to Recommended Circuit Join diagram).
6.2.3.2 Circuit heights for aerodromes which have specific requirements are published in the Air-
port Directory.

6.3 TAXIING
6.3.1 Pilots of IFR flights operating from non-towered aerodromes must report to ATC on taxiing.
If unable to establish contact, proceed in accordance with Operations in Class G Airspace, Com-
munications.
6.3.2 Taxiing reports for IFR flights must include the following information:
a. aircraft type;
b. POB (for IFR flights other than RPT);
c. IFR;
d. location;
e. destination or departure quadrant or intentions; and
f. runway to be used.
6.3.3 Following the taxi report , a pilot of an IFR flight must report to ATC when changing to the
CTAF when the ATS frequency will not, or cannot , be monitored. This report must include the
aerodrome location and frequency.
6.3.4 Carriage of radio, and being qualified to use it, is required at aerodromes depicted in
ERSA as certified, registered or military. Refer CAR 166E, Summary of Report and Broadcast
Requirements, & CAAP 166–1(0).

6.4 DEPARTURE INFORMATION


6.4.1 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 806
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

the circuit area and no traffic conflict exists. This will normally be at least 3NM 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 2,000FT or higher above aerodrome elevation.
6.4.2 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 5NM of the aerodrome, except that, at aerodromes
which have published standard instrument departure procedures, an IFR flight may depart in
accordance with those procedures. When established on the departure track, and clear of the cir-
cuit traffic, the pilot-in-command must report departure to ATC unless instructed otherwise.
6.4.3 This report must include the following information:
a. time;
b. outbound track in degrees magnetic;
c. intended cruising level; and
d. the estimate for the first enroute reporting point.
NOTE: Outbound track is not required in surveillance environments where identification is expec-
ted from ATC on departure.
6.4.4 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.
6.4.5 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”.

6.5 DESCENT FROM CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


6.5.1 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.

6.6 ARRIVAL INFORMATION


6.6.1 When approaching a non-towered aerodrome, pilots of all radio equipped aircraft should
broadcast inbound/transiting 10 NM or earlier from the aerodrome, commensurate with aircraft
performance and pilot workload with an ETA for the aerodrome (unless otherwise specified in Air-
port Directory).
NOTE: At non-towered aerodromes pilots should monitor and make a broadcast whenever it is
reasonably necessary to do so to avoid a collision or risk of a collision with another aircraft on the
CTAF during all operations in the vicinity of the aerodrome (CAR 166C).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 807
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

6.6.2 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 aerodrome location and frequency.
6.6.3 Pilots of IFR flights conducting local training, an instrument approach or a holding pattern,
may extend their SAR watch by an “OPERATIONS NORMAL” call at scheduled times.

6.7 LANDING MANEUVERS


6.7.1 Prior to entering the circuit at a non-towered aerodrome, aircraft should avoid the flow of
traffic until established in the circuit. The “standard aerodrome traffic circuit” facilitates the orderly
flow of traffic and is normally a left circuit pattern with all turns to the left (CAR166A). Landings
should be accomplished on the operational runway most closely aligned into wind (the active
runway). Wind and landing direction indicators can be checked while at an altitude of +500FT
above the circuit height.
NOTE: If jet, turbo prop, or high performance piston aircraft operate at the aerodrome, 2000 ft
AGL is a safer height to remain clear of all circuit traffic.
6.7.2 An aircraft approaching a non-towered aerodrome 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 in IMC after completion of an instrument approach
procedure; or
c. conducting a straight-in approach in accordance with Straight-in Approach, Aerodrome traffic
circuit.
6.7.3 The runway to be used for landing should be:
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.
6.7.4 Aircraft approaching a non-towered aerodrome for landing must make all turns to the left
except:
a. where right hand circuits are specified for the aerodrome; 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 in IMC after completion of an instrument
approach procedure.
6.7.5 Circuit Entry
6.7.5.1 Where a pilot is unfamiliar with the aerodrome layout, or when its serviceability, wind
direction, wind speed, or circuit direction cannot be ascertained prior to arrival, the overfly proce-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 808
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

dure should be used. The pilot should overfly or circle the aircraft at least 500 FT above the circuit
altitude, usually 2,000 FT or more above the aerodrome 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 perform-
ance. Pilots should not descend into the traffic circuit from directly above the aerodrome. Refer
CAAP 166–1(0).
6.7.5.2 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 aerodrome ele-
vation. This will minimise 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 10,000FT – can be at
speeds up to 250KT. Therefore, although aircraft should be at 200KT maximum in the circuit,
an aircraft reporting at 20NM from the aerodrome could be in the vicinity of the circuit within
5 minutes.
6.7.5.3 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.
6.7.5.4 When arriving on the live side, the recommended method is to arrive at the circuit alti-
tude entering midfield at approximately 45 degrees to the downwind leg while giving way to the
aircraft already established in the circuit.
6.7.5.5 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.
6.7.5.6 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 aerodrome 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 500FT above aerodrome ele-
vation. 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.

6.7.6 Straight-In Approach


6.7.6.1 Straight-in approaches, while not prohibited, are not a recommended standard proce-
dure. CAR 166B does not preclude pilots from conducting 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 the flow of circuit traffic. CAR 166B (2) (b) requires the pilot when
conducting a straight-in approach, to give way to any other aircraft established and flying in the
circuit pattern at the aerodrome.
6.7.6.2 CAR 166B (2) requires pilots, before conducting a straight-in approach, to determine the
wind direction and speed and the runway in use at the aerodrome.
6.7.6.3 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, approved
observer (CAR120), or aircraft operating at the aerodrome; or
c. Visual indications – if the information cannot be determined by the above means.
6.7.6.4 When conducting a straight-in approach, the aircraft must be established on final at not
less than 3NM from the landing runway’s threshold (CAR 166B (2)(c)).
6.7.6.5 A pilot should include the intention to conduct a straight-in approach with the inbound
broadcast. Further broadcasts of intention on the CTAF by 3NM from the runway threshold should
be made.
6.7.6.6 Pilots of aircraft conducting a straight-in approach at a non-towered aerodrome 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 3NM
radius from the intended landing runway threshold.
NOTE: Within 3NM, pilots are expected to make only minor corrections to line up accurately
on final approach. This will enable pilots conforming to the aerodrome traffic pattern to opti-
mize 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.
6.7.7 Joining on Base
6.7.7.1 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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 811
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

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.

6.7.8 Military Initial and Pitch Circuit Procedure


6.7.8.1 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).
6.7.8.2 Traffic permitting, Initial and Pitch procedures may be conducted at military, joint user,
controlled and non towered aerodromes. At controlled aerodromes military pilots must comply
with ATC circuit entry instructions unless approved for an Initial and Pitch entry.
6.7.8.3 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.
6.7.8.4 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.
6.7.8.5 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.

6.7.9 Transiting Flights


6.7.9.1 When transiting in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome, pilots should monitor the
designated CTAF. Pilots should respond to other traffic broadcasts and advise their position and
intention so as to avoid traffic conflict.
6.7.9.2 Pilots should avoid flying over the aerodrome at an altitude that could conflict with opera-
tions in the vicinity of the aerodrome.

6.8 SEPARATION MINIMA FOR LANDING


6.8.1 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.
6.8.2 At aerodromes where gliders operate to a common circuit pattern from a parallel strip out-
side 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,
simultaneous operations are permitted.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft. (CAR 163A)

6.9 THE TRAFFIC MIX AND OTHER HAZARDS AT NON–TOWERED


AERODROMES
6.9.1 At non-towered aerodromes, there may be regular public transport and passenger charter,
gliders, parachutists, helicopters, gyroplanes, ultralights, balloons, general aviation aircraft, and
agricultural aircraft operations.
6.9.2 Pilots should consult CAAP 166–1(0): “Operations in the vicinity of non-towered (non-con-
trolled) aerodromes”, (in conjunction with this document) for detailed operating procedures when
operating in the vicinity of non-towered aerodromes.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 815
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

6.9.3 In addition pilots should consult CAAP 166–2(0): “Pilots' responsibility for collision avoid-
ance in the vicinity of non-towered aerodromes (non-controlled aerodromes) using see and
avoid”.
6.9.4 The CAAPs mentioned above provide 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-towered aerodromes.

6.10 TAXIING AFTER LANDING


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

6.11 SARTIME AND SARWATCH


6.11.1 Cancellation of SARWATCH other than SARTIME
6.11.1.1 Pilots wishing to cancel SARWATCH may do so by reporting to ATS.
6.11.1.2 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.
6.11.1.3 SARWATCH may be cancelled in combination with a pilot report of changing to the
CTAF, or in the circuit area, or after landing.
6.11.1.4 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.
6.11.1.5 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARWATCH” reports with a read-back of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARWATCH TERMINATED”.
6.11.2 Cancellation of SARTIME
6.11.2.1 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”.
6.11.2.2 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARTIME” reports with a readback of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARTIME CANCELLED”.
6.11.2.3 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.
6.11.2.4 For SARTIME flights, pilots of single VHF radio-equipped aircraft must cancel SAR-
TIME before changing to the CTAF, or after landing.

6.11.3 SARTIME for Departure


6.11.3.1 When submitting flight notification, a pilot may nominate a SARTIME for departure for
the initial departure aerodrome only. For intermediate departure, it may be nominated by tele-
phone after landing, or as part of the arrival report associated with that aerodrome. Only one
SARTIME may be current at any time.
6.11.3.2 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.
6.11.3.3 Pilots of other than IFR RPT flights, wishing to extend the SAR watch for the period of
landing and subsequent take-off, may nominate a SARTIME for departure when arriving at an
aerodrome where radio or ground communication cannot reasonably be assured. SAR alerting
action will be initiated if a taxiing or departure report is not received by the nominated SARTIME.
6.11.3.4 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.

6.12 RADIO TELEPHONY REQUIREMENTS OUTSIDE CONTROLLED


AIRSPACE
6.12.1 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 flight is made to ATS via HF, a broadcast on the appropriate
CTAF or area VHF is also required.
6.12.2 All transmissions between aircraft, or when broadcasting intentions, must be prefixed
with the aircraft call sign.
6.12.3 When requesting operational information on FIS frequencies, the pilot must use the serv-
ice call sign “FLIGHTWATCH”.
6.12.4 Use of the collective “All Stations” must precede a general information broadcast.

7 LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS (LAHSO)


7.1 INTRODUCTION
7.1.1 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.

7.2 LOCATIONS WHERE LAHSO USED


7.2.1 LAHSO can be implemented at aerodromes controlled by ATC that have suitable runway
configurations, together with taxi markings, signs, runway markings and lights in accordance with
the standards in Airports and Ground Aids.
7.2.2 LAHSO aerodromes are indicated on Airport charts and in the Airport Directory by the
inclusion of the words “LDA FOR LAHSO”.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 817
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

7.3 A DEPENDENT PROCEDURE


7.3.1 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.

7.4 PARTICIPATION
7.4.1 Active participation in LAHSO is available to pilots in each of the following categories:
a. pilots of Australian registered aircraft of performance category A, B or C (or other categories
specifically approved by CASA Airline Operations Branch) engaged in operations conducted
under a training and checking organization authorized under CAR 217, subject to the opera-
tor providing Operations Manual information and certifying participating pilots for LAHSO;
b. pilots of Australian registered aircraft of performance category A, B or C where the pilot has
had his/her log book endorsed for LAHSO by an appropriate person (refer CAO 40.0.4.4 a,
b, c & d) to conduct LAHSO training;
c. pilots of Australian military aircraft in performance categories A, B or C, and;
d. 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.
7.4.2 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, F111, FA18 and other Australian military aircraft as approved by
Defence;
d. pilots of foreign military aircraft approved by Defence, operating at Defence aerodromes,
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 aerodromes).
7.4.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 7.4.1a. and 7.4.2a. above, pilots of foreign
registered civil aircraft and of Australian registered aircraft operating under foreign air carriers’
flight numbers are precluded from participation in either active or passive mode regardless of per-
formance category.
7.4.4 A pilot must not accept a requirement to “HOLD SHORT” unless he or she is qualified, has
situational awareness, and has determined that the LDA is adequate for the prevailing conditions
and the status of the aircraft. The aeroplane manufacturer's demonstrated landing distance must
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 818
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

be multiplied by at least a factor of 1.67 for dry conditions and 1.92 for wet or downwind condi-
tions.
7.4.5 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.

7.5 CONDITIONS FOR LAHSO


7.5.1 LAHSO may be conducted subject to the following conditions:
a. A simultaneous take-off and landing is permitted by day only.
b. Simultaneous landings are permitted by day and night.
c. The ceiling is not less than 1000 ft and visibility is not less than 5000m.
d. Advice to the departing aircraft may be given separately from the take-off clearance.
e. Instructions are issued to prevent a landing aircraft from crossing the Hold-Short Line when
the intersecting runway is being used by another aircraft.
f. 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.
g. The Airport chart and Airport Directory show LAHSO Distance or LDA information. Pilots
must establish actual LDR by multiplying the aircraft manufacturer's landing distance
required (the demonstrated landing distance) by 1.67 for dry conditions, or by 1.92 for wet or
downwind conditions.
h. When the runway conditions are damp or wet, the braking characteristics must be assessed
as GOOD by the captain of an aircraft in the same performance category prior to the landing
aircraft being instructed to hold short.
i. The landing aircraft will not be instructed to hold short when low level wind shear of intensity
greater than light is reported.
j. 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.

7.6 PILOT ADVICE OF LAHSO APPROVAL


7.6.1 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, at the time, expect and elect to partici-
pate actively in LAHSO must obtain the ATIS broadcast as early as possible and if within 200 NM
of destination, and if LAHSO is in progress, immediately confirm ability to participate by advising
“LAHSO APPROVED” to the ATS unit currently providing services; e.g.,
“ADELAIDE APPROACH, (call sign) DESCENDING TO FIVE THOUSAND, RECEIVED DELTA,
LAHSO APPROVED.”
7.6.2 Pilots of civil aircraft operating under a flight number as advised in flight notification, and
pilots of Australian military aircraft, may omit the words “LAHSO APPROVED”. ATC may
sequence these aircraft for LAHSO unless the pilot expressly states an intention not to participate.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 819
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

Aircraft of operators who have advised in writing an intention not to participate will not be inten-
tionally sequenced for LAHSO.

7.7 ATIS BROADCAST


7.7.1 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.)”
NOTE: The acronym LAHSO may be used at ATC discretion.

7.8 DIRECTED TRAFFIC INFORMATION


7.8.1 ATC is required to issue directed traffic information to both aircraft participating in LAHSO.
EXAMPLE 1: To an aircraft issued a hold short requirement:
“A320 DEPARTING ON CROSSING RUNWAY, HOLD SHORT RUNWAY (number). CLEARED
TO LAND RUNWAY (number).”
EXAMPLE 2: To an aircraft with unrestricted use of a runway (passive participant):
“737 LANDING ON CROSSING RUNWAY WILL HOLD SHORT. CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY
(number).”

7.9 READ-BACK REQUIREMENT


7.9.1 In all cases, pilots must read back an ATC issued requirement to hold short.

7.10 LANDING DISTANCE ASSESSMENT


7.10.1 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.
7.10.2 ATC may sequence non-jet category B aircraft below 5700kg MTOW for LAHSO using
category A landing distance required tables, and may sequence an aircraft for LAHSO regardless
of category of aircraft if the controller is aware that the aircraft may be able to land within the LDA
in accordance with applicable criteria. The pilot alone is responsible for ensuring that the LDA is
equal to, or better than, that required for the prevailing circumstances.
7.10.3 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 aircraft manufacturer’s landing distance figures (the demon-
strated landing distance) are multiplied by 1.67 for dry conditions, or 1.92 for wet or downwind
conditions. In practice, doubling of the manufacturer’s demonstrated minimum runway length
requirements is recommended to cover all contingencies. The maneuver that may be required in
the event of a go-around must also be considered.

CLIMB AND CRUISE

1 OPERATIONS TO / FROM NON-TOWERED AERODROMES


1.1 Pilots of radio equipped VFR aircraft must listen out on the appropriate VHF frequency and
announce if in potential conflict. Pilots intercepting broadcasts from aircraft in their vicinity which
are considered to be in potential conflict with their own aircraft must acknowledge by transmitting
their own call sign and, as appropriate, aircraft type, position, actual level and intentions.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
1.4 Pilots must report maintaining an assigned level.
1.5 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.
1.6 When operating in Class G airspace in proximity to a controlled aerodrome, pilots should
consider monitoring the TWR frequency to enhance situational awareness of traffic entering and
leaving the CTR.
1.7 A pilot of a flight intending to operate in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome at altitudes
used by arriving and departing aircraft should:
a. monitor the appropriate CTAF, and broadcast by 10 NM or earlier from the aerodrome com-
mensurate with aircraft performance and pilot workload with an ETA (unless otherwise speci-
fied in Airport Directory); and
b. where possible, avoid the circuit area and arrival and departure tracks.
NOTE: At non-towered aerodromes pilots should monitor and make a broadcast on the CTAF
whenever it is reasonably necessary to do so to avoid a collision or risk of a collision with another
aircraft during all operations in the vicinity of the aerodrome (CAR 166C).

2 AIR TRAFFIC CLEARANCES AND INSTRUCTIONS


2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 Except in an emergency, a clearance is required for all flights in Classes A, C, and D air-
space. In Class E airspace, a clearance is required for IFR flights unless operating in accordance
with IFR Pick-up procedure. A clearance is not required for VFR flights in Class E airspace.
NOTE 1: Special requirements apply to Parachute Jumping Operations in Class E airspace –
refer to Parachuting Operations.
NOTE 2: For entry into Class D airspace, establishment of 2-way communications between the
aircraft and ATC constitutes a clearance for the pilot to enter the Class D airspace. See Clear-
ance to Enter Class D Airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 821
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

2.1.2 Where the airspace classification and flight rules require, an aircraft must not enter control-
led airspace without a clearance. The pilot is responsible for obtaining a clearance and, once
obtained, must not amend a planned route, deviate from the cleared track, or change level without
obtaining ATC approval. When determining where the clearance request will be made, the pilot
should consider aircraft performance, the possibility of frequency congestion if the airspace is
known to be busy, the possibility of changes to route and/or level, and the possible delays that
might be incurred when clearances have to be coordinated with adjacent ATC sectors.
2.1.3 When clearance has been issued to deviate from the cleared route, the pilot must advise
ATC when the weather deviation is no longer required, or when the weather deviation has been
completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route. Further deviations from route will
require a new clearance.
2.1.4 All flights operating in Classes E and G airspace requesting a clearance to operate in
Classes A, C, D, or E airspace must advise position, level and tracking details when making first
contact with ATC.
2.1.5 Within VHF radio coverage, pilots must maintain continuous communications with ATC
when operating in Classes A, C and D airspace, as must pilots of IFR flights in Class E airspace.
Further, when in Class E airspace, pilots of VFR flights should monitor the ATS frequency appro-
priate to the area of operation.
2.1.6 When communication facilities permit, clearances will be passed direct to pilots by ATC.
2.1.7 The clearance authorizes flight in the specified manner to the first point at which the flight
leaves controlled airspace, or, if completely in controlled airspace, to the first landing point.
2.1.8 An air traffic clearance proposed by ATC does not relieve the pilot from complying with
statutory requirements nor from the responsibility for the ultimate safety of the aircraft.
2.1.9 If considered necessary, a pilot should request a different clearance from that issued. In
an emergency, a pilot may act without a clearance and immediately advise ATC.
2.1.10 A pilot must advise ATC immediately if issued a clearance which requires the use of navi-
gation aids not available to the aircraft, or the pilot is not qualified to use.
2.1.11 ATC is responsible for issuing clearances that will enable an aircraft to remain within con-
trolled airspace if the pilot has planned to do so. If a pilot is in doubt that the clearance will keep
the aircraft in controlled airspace, ATC should be advised and an alternative clearance may be
requested.
For operations within Class A, C, D or E airspace, maintaining 500 ft above the lower limit of the
CTA steps will provide a vertical buffer with aircraft operating in the adjoining airspace.
2.1.13 A control instruction issued after a clearance is obtained amends the appropriate item in
the clearance. When there is any change in the clearance limit and/or route specified in the initial
clearance, a completely new clearance will be issued.
2.1.14 Whenever a restriction or requirement has been imposed and, subsequently, a further
restriction/requirement is imposed, the subsequent instruction will cancel all previous restrictions/
requirements unless:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 822
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

a. all restrictions / requirements are restated; or


b. the subsequent instruction is prefixed “FURTHER REQUIREMENT”.
2.1.15 At a controlled aerodrome, clearance for operation in an adjoining control area is given
before departure.
2.1.16 If proposing to fly into a control area from an aerodrome located so close to the entry
point that making a full position report before entry is not practicable, a clearance should be
requested:
a. at a convenient time before entering the runway for take-off at an aerodrome where commu-
nication can readily be established before takeoff; or
b. after take-off, if not available or obtainable before take-off, provided that the aircraft does not
enter a control area until cleared.
NOTE: Where the enroute LSALT is in controlled airspace, the clearance request should be made
prior to departure and include an estimated airborne time.
If landing at an aerodrome with the intention of departing for a control area shortly after landing,
any revision of notified details relevant to the clearance, including EOBT, should be advised to
ATC, and a clearance requested before landing.
2.1.18 Clearances provided to pilots may include a “CLEARANCE VOID TIME”. When a void
time is specified, the clearance is valid only if the flight enters controlled airspace in accordance
with the clearance at or before that time.
2.1.19 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 will be processed on a “controller workload permitting” basis, and may be subject to delay.
2.1.20 Within a Class D CTR, a clearance to take-off is a clearance to operate within the CTR.

2.2 AIRWAYS CLEARANCES


2.2.1 Other than as specified for pre-departure clearance (PDC) operations, pilots in command
must request an airways clearance:
a. on the clearance delivery frequency, preferably immediately before starting engines, other-
wise as soon as possible thereafter; or
b. where a clearance delivery frequency is not available, before entering the departure runway;
and
c. before entering controlled airspace.
2.2.2 Airways clearances normally contain the following items:
a. aircraft identification;
b. destination, area of operation, position or clearance limit;
c. route of flight;
d. assigned level, except when this element is included in the SID description;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 823
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

e. for IFR flights, departure type;


f. SSR code; and
g. frequency requirements.
2.2.3 At night, or by day in IMC, the departure instructions for an IFR flight from an aerodrome
within a CTR will be in the form of a SID. Where these are not published, or where aircraft or
ground based navigation aid(s) are unavailable, tracking instructions will be specified by ATC.
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 eligible flights.
2.2.5 Should a change of runway occur which affects an airways clearance previously issued,
ATC will issue a new SID, or tracking instructions as appropriate. A new clearance will not neces-
sarily be issued where the same clearance applies to multiple runways.
2.2.6 If an aircraft is cleared only to an intermediate point, and flight beyond that point will be in
controlled airspace, a pilot-in-command must obtain a further clearance before proceeding
beyond the intermediate clearance point.
2.2.7 When an aircraft leaves controlled airspace, a further clearance must be obtained for any
subsequent flight in controlled airspace.

2.3 CONDITIONAL CLEARANCES


ATS may issue a conditional clearance for aircraft or vehicles to enter or cross a runway when the
traffic situation precludes immediate access. Aircraft issued a conditional clearance to enter or
cross a runway must identify the vehicle or aircraft causing the conditional clearance.
2.3.2 A conditional clearance will only be issued when:
a. the controller, the pilot, and/or the vehicle driver can see all aircraft or vehicles concerned;
and
b. the controller can visually monitor this traffic until the condition is no longer applicable; and
c. the aircraft or vehicle causing the condition is the first to pass in front of the other traffic.
2.3.3 Even if the aircraft or vehicle causing the “condition” has passed, an aircraft or vehicle
must still stop and hold at all lighted stop bars and may only proceed further when the lights are
switched off.

2.4 AIRWAYS CLEARANCES – VOLCANIC ASH


2.4.1 For aircraft departing Australia, clearances will not be issued via airways which pass over
active volcanoes during the currency of local volcanic action NOTAM.
2.4.2 Pilots planning to enter Australian airspace during the presence of volcanic ash clouds
should make provision for additional fuel to meet possible diversions around the hazard.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 824

CLIMB AND CRUISE

2.5 PRE-DEPARTURE CLEARANCE (PDC)


2.5.1 PDC delivery via airline host computer is available from selected Australian airports. Use
of PDC is limited to operations authorized by Airservices Australia. Operators wishing to partici-
pate in PDC should submit such 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 PDC messages contain up to 11 lines of text depending on the length of the route field and
whether or not ATC adds additional remarks or instructions following the transponder code.

2.5.4 Currently, PDC does not include the delivery of PDC messages by Controller Pilot Data
Link Communications (CPDLC). Pilots must not log on to any ATC facility until after the PDC is
obtained.
When departing an airport participating in PDC, pilots must ensure that the PDC is obtained
through the appropriate communications path no later than 15 minutes prior to EOBT. This could
be via ACARS or hard copy message. If the PDC is not available by 15 minutes prior to EOBT,
pilots must contact clearance delivery for a verbal airway clearance.
NOTE: ATC will not send amended route clearances via PDC.
2.5.6 Pilots must ensure that:
a. the PDC received is for the correct flight stage;
b. the aircraft identification, aircraft type, departure airport and EOBT specified are correct; and
c. the route matches the route provided by flight dispatch.
NOTE: Pilots must notify ATC if any of the above elements are incorrect.
2.5.7 Air traffic control requires a readback of the SID, (including RWY and/or any transition if
issued), STAR (if issued) and transponder code, as shown on a PDC. In addition, readback any
other requirements contained in the PDC message and state current parking position/bay. The
PDC readback must be made on ACD frequency or on SMC frequency if ACD is not established,
prior to a pushback or taxi request.

Example:
Pilot: (location) DELIVERY, QANTAS ONE PDC READBACK
ATC: QANTAS ONE, (location) DELIVERY.
Pilot: QANTAS ONE, RWY 34L RICHMOND TWO DEPARTURE, RICHMOND

ATC: QANTAS ONE.

2.5.8 In the case where there has been a late aircraft change and a pilot receives a PDC that
was originally intended for another aircraft, then pilots must indicate the change of aircraft on ini-
tial contact with ATC.

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 828
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 5000 ft AMSL or more; or
b. if the flight is conducted at a height of 5000 ft AMSL whenever practicable (CAR 173).
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 (CAR 180).
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. (CAR 181)
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 A glider or balloon cleared to operate in controlled airspace will be assigned block levels.
3.4.4 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.
3.4.5 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.
3.4.6 Aircraft at standard flight levels will be afforded priority over aircraft using non-standard
flight levels.
3.4.7 Mach number technique separation will not be applied to aircraft using block level clearan-
ces.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 829
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

3.4.8 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 requirement can be met, ATC must be advised imme-
diately.
3.5.1.3 ATS advised expectation of a level requirement does not authorize a pilot to climb or
descend to meet that requirement.
3.5.1.4 An expectation of a level requirement 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 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.
3.5.1.8 Step descents reverse the above procedure.
3.5.1.9 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 830
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.
3.5.1.10 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 LOWEST SAFE ALTITUDE (LSALT)


3.6.1 Lowest safe altitudes for IFR flights are published on charts, by NOTAM or AIP Supple-
ment. On Jeppesen charts, LSALT is charted as a Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude
[MOCA (T)].
3.6.2 Grid LSALTs have been determined for Enroute and Area charts. On Jeppesen Enroute
High and Low charts, as well as on Area charts, Grid LSALTs are charted as Grid MORAs (Mini-
mum Off-Route Altitudes). The Grid MORA is a “square” of the following dimensions based upon
the type of chart:
– Enroute High charts — four degrees of latitude by four degrees of longitude;
– Enroute Low charts — either two degrees of latitude by two degrees of longitude, or one
degree of latitude by one degree of longitude, depending on the scale of the chart; and
– Area charts — one degree of latitude by one degree of longitude.
The Grid MORA is normally displayed in the center of the grid “square”.
3.6.3 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.
3.6.4 For routes and route segments not charted, the lowest safe altitude must not be less than
that calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.6.5 within an area defined in the following para-
graphs 3.6.6, 3.6.7, and 3.6.8.
3.6.5 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 831
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

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.
3.6.6 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, except when being assigned
levels in accordance with ATS surveillance service terrain clearance procedures or when being
flown in accordance with a published DME arrival, instrument approach or holding procedure, or
except when necessary during climb after departure from an aerodrome, or except during VMC by
day (CAR 178 refers).
3.6.7 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.
3.6.8 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
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.
For Operations with Area Navigation Systems (including GNSS): 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 10.3° each side of the nominal track to a maximum of 30 NM for
non-GNSS area navigation systems and 7 NM for GNSS, thence paralleling track abeam the des-
tination and converging by a semicircle of 30 NM (non-GNSS) or 7 NM (GNSS) centered on the
destination.
3.6.10 For Aircraft Flown at Night Under the VFR: The area to be considered must be:
a. the area specified in paragraph 3.6.8 or 3.6.9 for aircraft navigated by means of a radio navi-
gation 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.
3.6.11 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 except:
a. during take-off and climb in the vicinity of the departure aerodrome;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 832
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

b. when the destination aerodrome is in sight and descent can be made within the prescribed
circling area of 3 NM radius of the destination; or
c. when being vectored.
3.6.12 Night Vision Goggles and Obstacle Lighting
3.6.12.1 Some LED lighting systems, clearly visible to the naked eye, fall outside the combined
visible and near--infrared spectrum of night--vision goggles. This means that those obstacles will
not be visible to aircrew operating on NVG.
3.6.12.2 Current aircraft standards allows the “Aviation Red” light wavelength to range from
about 610–700 NM. NVGs approved for operations in Australia are Class B, which are only sensi-
tive to energy in the wavelengths ranging from 665 to 930 NM.
3.6.12.3 As the current number and distribution of LED lighting systems is unknown and will
increase in the future, aircrew using NVGs are warned to use extra caution when flight planning
into unknown areas as well as operating near obstacle areas.

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 authorised by ATC.
4.2 It is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command to ensure that the Navigation Requirements
can be met.
4.3 When planning an IFR flight, the pilot-in-command of a multi-engine aircraft must take into
account the enroute performance requirements of CAO 20.7.1B, 20.7.2 or 20.7.4 (CAOs not pub-
lished herein), as appropriate.
4.4 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.
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/.
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 a WAC, and identifiable by radio or visual means. To minimize confusion when a position is
reported over a town which has a nearby aerodrome of the same name, the word “TOWNSHIP” is
to be used after the name in the text of the report.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 833
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

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.
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 signif-
icant 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.
5.1.2 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.
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.
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 accord-
ance 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.airservicesaustralia.com/
organisations/aama/.
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 air-
craft that are not RVSM-approved and all other aircraft.
Pilots of non RVSM-approved military 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.
Pilots of aircraft that are not RVSM-approved must report “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 834

CLIMB AND CRUISE

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
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 835
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

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-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 836
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

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.
5.1.7.2 In reporting, crews must provide the information in the format detailed below. Reports

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 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.
NOTE: B757 and H47 (Chinook) are categorized Heavy (H) when the following aircraft is catego-
rized either Medium (M) or Light (L) and categorized Medium (M) when the preceding 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.

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
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 air-
craft;
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
3. landing on a parallel runway separated by less than 760 m 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 his or her own separation with, that air-
craft.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 840
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

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 the aerodrome control tower or the approach control
unit.
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 his/her own wake turbulence separation. Waiving of these separa-
tion standards is not permitted when the aircraft concerned will follow a Heavy or Super aircraft.
ATC is not permitted to ask pilots to accept waivers.
5.2.3.2 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 AERODROME


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.

7 HOLDING
7.1 Holding must be in accordance with approved procedures. If aircraft are required to hold at a
point for which no procedure is published, they shall do so in a manner specified by ATC.
7.2 A request by a pilot-in-command to deviate from a prescribed holding procedure may be
approved.

8 FLIGHTS OVER WATER


8.1 Aircraft engaged in private, aerial work, or charter operations, and which are normally pro-
hibited by CAR 258 from over-water flights because of their inability to reach land in the event of
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 841
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

engine failure, may fly over water subject to compliance with the conditions in this section. These
conditions are additional to the requirements for flight over land.
8.2 In the case of passenger-carrying charter operations, the distance from land areas suitable
for an emergency landing must not exceed 25 NM. In the case of helicopters, a fixed platform or a
vessel suitable for an emergency landing, or for seaplanes an area of water suitable for an emer-
gency landing and located adjacent to land, may be considered acceptable for this requirement.
8.2.1 There is no limitation for private, aerial work or freight only charter operations.
8.3 Each occupant of the aircraft must wear a life jacket during the flight over water unless
exempted from doing so under the terms of CAO 20.11 (not published herein).
8.4 A meteorological forecast must be obtained.

8.5 SAR ALERTING


8.5.1 VFR flights may choose to operate on reporting schedules for the over-water stages of a
flight. Schedules may be arranged before commencing the over-water stage and terminate on
completion of the crossing.
8.5.2 VFR aircraft not equipped with radio which will enable continuous communication, or not
radio equipped, must carry a survival beacon as prescribed in CAO 20.11, for the over-water
stages of the flight.
8.6 Helicopters must be fitted with an approved flotation system unless exempted under the
terms of CAO 20.11.

9 POSITION REPORTS
9.1 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.)
9.2 The position report format is identified at Full Position Report; Section 1: Position.
9.3 When an aircraft is holding due to weather, ATS will nominate scheduled reporting times
which will normally be at 15 minute intervals.
9.4 The position report format appears in Meteorology. Section 2 of the report should only be
transmitted when required by the operator or when deemed necessary by the pilot. Section 3 of
the report is required only for those designated flights operating over specified MET reporting
points.
9.4.1 For operations in Australian domestic airspace, Section 1 of the report may be abbreviated
by omitting the words “OVER”, “FEET” and “NEXT POSITION”.
9.4.2 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 842
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE

9.5 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.
9.6 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.
9.7 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; e.g., “MELBOURNE CENTER
(CALL-SIGN) CLEARED FLIGHT LEVEL TWO ONE ZERO, MAINTAINING FLIGHT LEVEL
THREE ONE ZERO”.
NOTE: The “last vacated level” may be omitted by identified aircraft squawking pressure altitude
derived level information.
9.8 Pilots should normally report estimated time of arrival at the place of intended landing when
at the last position report.

1.1.2 VHF communications systems must be capable of communication on all VHF frequencies
required to meet the reporting and broadcast requirements of paragraph 1.2.
1.1.3 HF communications systems must be fitted with frequencies appropriate to the area of
operation. The frequencies fitted must be sufficient to enable continuous communication with ATS
units for the planned duration of the flight or while operating within the specified area, taking into
account the expected radio propagation conditions during the period of operation.
1.1.4 At least one item of the required radio equipment must be capable of maintaining continu-
ous communication with ATS at all stages of flight. The term “all stages of flight” includes ground
operations at the aerodromes of departure and arrival, and cruising levels that could be required
for any emergency and/or abnormal operation enroute. However, where continuous communica-
tion using VHF can be maintained for normal operations, but cannot be guaranteed in the event of
emergency and/or abnormal operations enroute, SATCOM telephone may be used instead of HF
provided the Operator has applied to CASA in writing, and been given specific approval, docu-
menting that all relevant maintenance, operational and logistic aspects have been considered and
has or will be implemented, including that:
a. routes are selected so that the anticipated period beyond VHF coverage, in the event of
emergency and/or abnormal operation, does not exceed 30 minutes;
b. appropriate pre-flight checks have been incorporated in the aircrew check list and forms part
of the company's operating procedures;
c. the system is equipped with an external antenna and operated via a common VHF headset/
microphone;
d. SATCOM telephone transmissions will be recorded by the Cockpit Voice Recorder;
e. the system is inter-operable with existing NAV systems;
f. power can be removed from the system;
g. defect reports will be issued and dispatched as for other COM systems; and
h. the system has been incorporated in the Minimum Equipment List.
NOTE: SATCOM telephone contact procedures are described in the paragraph titled Inmarsat
Service. Additionally, to facilitate ATC initiated calls to aircraft during contingencies, the phone
number of the aircraft may be included in Field 18 of the flight plan. Any pre-flight radio check of
the SATCOM telephone should be made to the pilot's company to avoid congesting ATC lines.
1.1.5 An Australian Communications and Media Authority approved and licensed hand-held
VHF radio may be used by pilots of:
a. VFR private and airwork aircraft with a MTOW not exceeding:
1. in the case of an aeroplane other than a seaplane — 544kg;
2. in the case of a seaplane with a single seat — 579kg;
3. in the case of a seaplane with two seats — 614kg; and
b. gliders; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 845

c. balloons.
Additionally, approved hand-held radios may be used by pilots of these aircraft when operating in
Class G airspace. Pilots are responsible for ensuring that the equipment is able to be operated
without adversely affecting the safety of the aircraft. The location of the antenna must be such
that airframe shielding does not prevent two-way communication with all aircraft operating on the
CTAF. Where the radio is not connected to the aircraft primary power supply, there must be ready
access to back-up power.
1.1.6 Australia Estimated VHF Coverage Enroute Chart shows the areas in which an aircraft,
flying at the altitudes indicated, could be expected to maintain continuous VHF communications
with an ATS unit.
1.1.7 RPT, charter and airwork aircraft are exempt from the requirement to carry HF radio for
communication with ATS when:
a. radio contact can be maintained with an appropriately trained company representative able
to communicate by telephone with ATS; and
b. the communications requirements of Operations in Class G Airspace are satisfied.
1.1.8 Private aircraft without radio may be admitted to CTRs for maintenance subject to the
approval of the appropriate ATC unit. Pilots must comply with any conditions contained in the
approval.

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.
1.2.1.1.1 Carriage of VHF radio and being qualified to use the radio, are mandatory when oper-
ating at, or in the vicinity of a non-towered registered, certified or military aerodrome.
1.2.1.1.2 However, CAR 166E allows for exemption from these regulations – refer where repair
facilities are not available.
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 Airspace
Organization.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 846
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

frequency change should specify the expected duration when the change required is not perma-
nent.
1.2.1.4 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.
1.2.1.5 When a pilot becomes aware that a previously notified position estimate is more than
two (2) minutes in error, the pilot must report and, where necessary, broadcast a corrected esti-
mate.
1.2.1.6 When a report from an IFR flight is made to FLIGHTWATCH on HF, a broadcast on the
appropriate CTAF or area VHF frequency is also required.
1.2.1.7 Reports of “CHANGING TO (location) CTAF (frequency)” are required by pilots of IFR
flights when inbound to a non-towered aerodrome when the ATC frequency will not, or cannot, be
monitored.
1.2.1.8 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.
1.2.1.9 Aircraft may maintain a listening watch on other than the Area VHF for operations below
5000 ft in Class G airspace such as parachuting, gliding, agricultural operations and circuit train-
ing or local flights at non-controlled aerodromes.
1.2.1.10 Gliders are encouraged, but not required, to monitor the Area VHF when operating
above 5000 ft in Class E and G airspace.
1.2.1.11 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.
1.2.1.12 The standard broadcast format is;
a. {Location} Traffic
b. {Aircraft type}
c. {Callsign}
d. {Position/intentions}
e. {Location}
1.2.1.13 If calls are not made clearly and concisely using the standard phraseology, confusion
can arise at aerodromes that are close together where the CTAF is the same.
1.2.1.13.1 Pilots operating at, or in the vicinity of non-towered aerodromes where the carriage of
radio is mandatory should always monitor the CTAF and broadcast their intentions at least in
accordance with the minimum calls set out in the table below (Summary of broadcasts -- All air-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 847

COMMUNICATIONS

craft at non-towered aerodromes). Pilots should also make additional broadcasts when consid-
ered necessary to minimize any risk of collision (CAR 166 C (2)).
1.2.1.13.2 At aerodromes where the carriage of radio is not mandatory, good airmanship dic-
tates that pilots of radio-equipped aircraft would also monitor the radio and broadcast their inten-
tions in accordance with the minimum calls in the table below (Summary of broadcasts -- All air-
craft at non-towered aerodromes). Pilots should also observe local and published noise abate-
ment procedures and curfews.

NOTE 2: Carriage of radio, and being qualified to use it, are mandatory at non-towered aero-
dromes depicted in Airport Directory as being certified, registered or military. However, CAR 166E
allows, subject to compliance with specified procedures, for use of such aerodromes without serv-
iceable radio.
NOTE 3: An aircraft is in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome if it is in airspace other than con-
trolled airspace, within 10NM of the aerodrome and at a height above the aerodrome that could
result in conflict with operations at the aerodrome.
NOTE 4: Some distances above refer to the runway threshold and others to the aerodrome refer-
ence point (ARP). Pilots should be aware that a GNSS indication of 3NM from an aerodrome may
not be 3NM to the runway threshold.
1.2.3 Limited Radio and No-Radio Procedures
1.2.3.1 Authorization may be given to Australian registered aircraft to vary the requirements for
the carriage of radio equipment as specified in Radio Communication and Navigation Require-
ments. Authorizations are given by the relevant Area or Airline Office of the CASA.
1.2.3.2 A no-radio aircraft operating in Class “G” Airspace may, due to stress of weather, oper-
ate above 5000 ft to the minimum extent necessary for the safe conduct of the flight, provided:
a. the aircraft cruises at a VFR level;
b. the cruise is conducted in VMC; and
c. as soon as is practicable, the aircraft descends in VMC to below 5000 ft to continue flight in
VMC.
A pilot not able to comply with these requirements must proceed to the nearest suitable aero-
drome and land.
1.2.3.3 A no-radio aircraft other than a glider may operate above 5000 ft within the confines of a
published Danger Area which is:
a. promulgated specifically for no-radio operations, or
b. identified as permitting no-radio operations.
1.2.3.4 Gliders may be authorized to operate above FL200 and monitor an approved frequency
other than the ATS frequency. The area of operation will be advised by NOTAM.
1.2.3.5 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.
1.2.3.5.1 Where repair facilities are not available, and 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.
1.2.3.5.2 At non-towered aerodromes where the carriage of radio is required, CAR 166E allows
for continuation of a 'no radio' arrival or departure in certain circumstances. If a radio failure
occurs either enroute to or in the circuit of the aerodrome, the pilot may continue to land at that
aerodrome provided:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 851
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 CAAP 166-1 (0) Appendix 1,
or the graphic Recommended Circuit Join).
1.2.3.5.3 A pilot may depart the aerodrome with an unserviceable radio and fly to another aero-
drome for repairs, provided that the aircraft – where equipped – displays its external lights and its
transponder turned on.
1.2.3.5.4 A pilot should avoid planning to arrive or depart an aerodrome for radio repairs during
the known hours of scheduled RPT operation. For aerodromes where there is a UNICOM or CA/
GRS, pilots should by alternative means where possible make contact and advise their intentions
before conducting operations.
1.2.3.5.5 In exceptional circumstances, CAR 166E makes a provision for a pilot who is not quali-
fied to use an aircraft radio, or where the aircraft is not equipped with a radio, to operate at, or in
the vicinity of a non--towered certified, registered or military aerodrome. The aircraft must be
operated:
a. in VMC by day; and
b. arrive or depart 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 aircraft. The
radio-equipped aircraft should be maneuvered to keep the no radio aircraft at a safe distance
(CAR 163) and in sight at all times in order to accurately report its position.
1.2.3.6 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.
1.2.3.7 Procedures to be adopted when total loss of radio occurs while in-flight and within Aus-
tralian administered Oceanic airspace are as follows:
1.2.3.8 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;

NOTE: In airspace where the strategic lateral offset procedures (SLOP) has been
authorized, aircraft experiencing communication failure may also elect to initiate SLOP
in accordance with State AIP, including an offset of 1.8 or 3.7 km (1 NM or 2 NM) right
of track.
6. Upon exiting oceanic airspace, conform to the relevant State procedures and regula-
tions.
1.2.3.9 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 applica-
ble 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 aircraft.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 853

COMMUNICATIONS

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 to exchange necessary operational infor-
mation 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 854

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-towered aerodrome.
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 operating
in the vicinity of an aerodrome. Participation in Unicom services must not inhibit the transmission
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 855
AUSTRALIA
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 are properly authorized to make weather observations
under CAR 120 (not published herein).
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 Commu-
nications and Media Authority (ACMA). Detailed information regarding the licensing and use of
equipment may be obtained by contacting the ACA in the appropriate State or Territory capital
city.
2.3.8 Unicom operators must comply with the requirements of CAR 83(2).

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-towered aerodromes, 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 aerodrome 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.

2.5 HIGH FREQUENCY HARMFUL RADIO INTERFERENCE


2.5.1 Domestic aeromobile HF communications in Australia are sometimes subjected to periods
of significant radio interference. Consequently, strategies to alleviate this interference are being
actively pursued.
2.5.2 The harmful interference is generally being broadcast in a variety of foreign languages and
is not aviation related. Airservices Australia has, therefore, procured a number of tapes with recor-
ded messages in a variety of languages and dialects. These are used, as required, to advise the
“target” that they are transmitting on a frequency reserved for aviation communications, and that
they should cease transmitting.
2.5.3 Taped messages may run for up to three minutes. The selection of which message(s) to
transmit, and when to transmit, is controlled by ATS staff as detailed in their local instructions.
During the broadcast of recorded messages, the frequency in use will not be usable by the ATS
center controlling the broadcast, and aircraft wishing to communicate on HF may need to change
to an alternative frequency, or wait until the broadcast is completed.
2.5.4 Minor delays in responding to VHF calls may also occur while HF broadcasts are taking
place. Broadcasts are made on a “workload permitting” basis, and ATS will terminate the broad-
cast if higher priority HF or VHF communications are required.

2.6 TELEPHONE FACILITIES


2.6.1 1-800 Service is available for direct-dial calls, to specified ATS units during operating
hours.
2.6.2 Reverse Charge Calls
2.6.2.1 Airservices will bear the cost of operator-connected calls of an urgent operational nature
relating to aircraft movements, and which should normally be directed to the ATS unit associated
with the airspace in which the aircraft is operating; namely:
a. notification of departures and arrivals as specified elsewhere in this manual; and
b. requests for ATC clearances and aeronautical information essential to flight.
2.6.3 Inmarsat Service
2.6.3.1 Inmarsat has been provided with telephone numbers to facilitate pilot-initiated telephone
communication with ATC in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney via the Inmarsat
Transitional ATS Satellite Voice Service. This system uses airborne satellite telephone equipment
and abbreviated dialing codes to dial ATC facilities around the world. It is available only to aircraft
fitted with a Future Air Navigation System (FANS).
2.6.3.2 Contact with Australian ATS Centers/Terminal Control Units (TCUs) can be made by
dialling the following abbreviated dialling codes:
– Adelaide TCU: 450301
– Brisbane Center: 450302
– Melbourne Center: 450303

– Sydney TCU: +61 2 9556 6742
2.6.3.4 Communications using these services are restricted to urgent, non-routine, safety-rela-
ted matters.
2.6.4 Use of Mobile Telephones in Aircraft
2.6.4.1 In the event of an emergency, and when other conventional means of communication
are either inadequate or not available, mobile telephones may be used for contact with Air Traffic
Control and Search and Rescue Centers. Telephone numbers for the individual ATC locations
and the SAR Hotline are as follows:
– Adelaide ATC Center: 08 8238 7988
– Brisbane ATC Center: 07 3866 3868
– Melbourne ATC Center: 03 9338 4032

– Sydney ATC Center: 02 9556 6564
– SAR Hotline: 1800 815 257

2.7 RECORDING OF OPERATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS


2.7.1 All ATS units are equipped with automatic recording facilities which record, on magnetic
tape, all communications to and from each ATS unit, irrespective of the medium used.

3 FIS: INFLIGHT INFORMATION


3.1 AUTOMATIC BROADCAST SERVICES
3.1.1 Automatic Broadcast Services are an essential part of the In-Flight Information Service.
a. International flights are catered for by the Sydney HF VOLMET service. Refer to Meteorol-
ogy Reports and Advisories.
b. Flights within 90 NM of a Primary Control Zone and 30 NM of a General Aviation Control

3.2 ON REQUEST INFLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE (FLIGHTWATCH)


NOTE: It is the responsibility of the pilot to request the information necessary to make operational
decisions.
3.2.1 General
3.2.1.1 An On Request Flight Information Service (FIS) is available to aircraft in all classes of
airspace on VHF and HF (Domestic and International) frequencies. FIS is provided on a range of
discrete VHF and HF frequencies using the call sign “FLIGHTWATCH”. The alternative use of FIA
frequencies, HF or telephone may be required in areas not covered by VHF Flightwatch frequen-
cies. Consequently, FIS may be provided by either Flightwatch or ATC. Broadcast information is
available from ATIS and on the AERIS network to supplement the on-request service.
3.2.1.2 Pilots should use the generic call sign “FLIGHTWATCH” and quote the frequency when
requesting information from the FIS. For example:
FLIGHTWATCH, ROMEO JULIET DELTA, 119.4, REQUEST ACTUAL WEATHER CANBERRA
3.2.1.3 Requests will be dealt with on a “first come-first served” basis.
3.2.1.4 Pilots should be mindful that flight information services provided on HF by the FIS may
be delayed while communications for traffic information services are being relayed between air
traffic control and pilots of IFR flights.

5 ATS DATA LINK SERVICES


5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 FANS-1/A data link applications are operational within airspace controlled by Australian
ATC within the Melbourne (YMMM), Brisbane (YBBB), Honiara (AGGG) and Nauru (ANAU) FIRs.

5.2 PILOT RESPONSIBILITIES


5.2.1 Participating pilots 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 862
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.2.2 A logon must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initi-
ated by the ground system. The initial logon must be initiated by the pilot in accordance with com-
pany and ATS procedures.
5.2.3 To facilitate reliable Automatic Dependant Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) monitoring,
pilots must ensure that the ADS-C application remains ARMED. Pilots must also ensure that the
ADS-C emergency mode has not been selected inadvertently.

5.3 CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATION (CPDLC)


APPLICATION
5.3.1 In controlled airspace, CPDLC is the primary means of communications between ATC and
FANS-1/A equipped aircraft beyond the range of VHF voice. 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 communicating by CPDLC
holds the responsibility for SAR and communications alerting.
5.3.2 In Australian continental airspace, CPDLC is normally used as a backup communications
medium to VHF voice. Depending on traffic loadings, controllers may initiate the use of CPDLC in
some domestic airspace sectors. Other than the transmission of position reports as described in
paragraph 5.5.1, pilots should not initiate CPDLC messaging within domestic VHF voice airspace
unless authorized to do so by the controller, or an emergency situation exists.
5.3.3 Where CPDLC is to be used as the primary means of communications, pilots 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].”
5.3.4 To transfer an aircraft from CPDLC to voice as the primary means of communication, the
aircraft will be instructed to CONTACT the appropriate frequency.
5.3.5 When crossing a FIR boundary, the transferring unit will instruct pilots to either CONTACT
or MONITOR the next unit on the appropriate frequency. When instructed to MONITOR the next
unit, CPDLC will remain the primary means of communication.
5.3.6 Standard pre-formatted message elements must be used whenever possible. Free text
message elements should be used only when an appropriate pre-formatted message element
does not exist, or to supplement an existing pre-formatted message element. The use of free text
should be kept to a minimum.
5.3.7 To ensure correct synchronization of messages, controller / pilot dialogues opened by
voice must, whenever possible, be closed by voice. Controller / pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC
must be closed by CPDLC.
5.3.8 To avoid ambiguity, a CPDLC downlink message should not contain more than one clear-
ance request.
5.3.9 If multiple clearance requests are contained in a single downlink message and the control-
ler cannot comply with 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 met will then be sent by the controller.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 863
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.3.10 If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarification must be
sought by voice.
5.3.11 A clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate CPDLC response, not a
read-back as would be required if the clearance had been delivered by voice.
5.3.12 The downlink response WILCO indicates that the pilot accepts the full terms of the entire
uplink message including any clearance or instruction.
5.3.13 The use of the 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.
5.3.14 The use of the REQUEST DEFERRED message element provides advice that the down-
link request is being assessed and a longer-term delay of greater than 10 minutes can be expec-
ted until a response will be sent. The original message remains open.

5.4 LOGON PROCEDURES


5.4.1 The logon address for the appropriate FIR is:
– Brisbane: YBBB
– Honiara: YBBB
– Nauru: YBBB
– Melbourne: YMMM
5.4.2 To avoid automatic rejection of the logon,
a. the aircraft identification and the aircraft registration contained in the logon 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 earlier than 45
minutes prior to the FIR boundary estimate.
5.4.3 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 unit, rather than the cur-
rent unit; and
2. Airborne aircraft departing Sydney/Bankstown should logon in accordance with the fol-
lowing table:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 864

COMMUNICATIONS

Airborne aircraft departing Sydney/Bankstown


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. Aircraft logging on while on
the ground at Sydney/Bankstown must logon to YMMM.
5.4.4 When instructed to logon by voice, the pilot must read back the logon code.
5.4.5 Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft operating domestic legs between city pairs on routes
that remain within ATS surveillance system coverage should not logon for data link services.
5.4.6 The provision of Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC to departing aircraft is not
currently available. For aircraft participating in PDC at Australian airports, a logon must not be ini-
tiated until after the PDC has been received.
5.4.7 Aircraft requesting data link services on entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs
from a non-data link FIR should logon to the appropriate unit between 15 and 45 minutes prior to
crossing the FIR boundary. CPDLC and ADS-C connections will be established automatically by
the unit concerned.
5.4.8 For aircraft entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs from a data link FIR, the
data link connections will be either transferred automatically by the Address Forwarding process,
or the transferring unit will instruct pilots to logon manually at an appropriate time / distance prior
to the FIR boundary.
5.4.9 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 this
FIR prior to the FIR boundary.

5.5 POSITION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS


5.5.1 A CPDLC unit downlink is required to enable the controlling unit to ensure that it is CPDLC
data authority for the aircraft. To facilitate this, pilots 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 unit; or
c. crossing the YMMM/YBBB FIR boundary, except that aircraft inbound to land at Sydney are
not required to report by CPDLC 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 865
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.5.3 For non--identified aircraft, ADS--C reporting fulfils 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; eg, “CLIMB TO AND MAINTAIN 370. REPORT LEVEL 370” or
“REPORT LEAVING 350”
5.6.2 Upon receipt of this CPDLC uplink, flight crews must ensure that the correct pre-formatted
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 REVISION OF ESTIMATES USING CPDLC


5.7.1 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 pilot advised estimate (i.e., by voice or
CPDLC); or
b. following a pilot initiated action (e.g., speed change) resulting in an amended estimate of
greater than two (2) minutes.
5.7.2 If required, a pilot may 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, “REVISED ETA [position] [time]”.

5.8 CPDLC MESSAGE RESTRICTIONS


5.8.1 ATS will not issue uplink instructions relating to cruise climbs, or the uplink element
“CRUISE (altitude)”. Additionally, ATS will not issue uplink instructions containing the “AT PILOT
DISCRETION” element.
5.9 CPDLC CONTACT AND MONITOR MESSAGES
5.9.1 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 pilot. The secondary frequency – uplinked as a free text –
will be available on request.
5.9.2 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 instead (i.e. “CONTACT BRISBANECENTRE13261” will be used, rather
than “CONTACT BRISBANE HF 13261”).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 866
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

5.10 CPDLC ROUTE CLEARANCES


5.10.1 On occasions, amended route clearances may be issued by CPDLC. Operators must
ensure that flight crews are familiar with the functionality associated with the display and loading
of CPDLC route clearances.

5.11 DATA LINK FAILURE


5.11.1 Pilots recognizing a failure of a CPDLC connection when CPDLC is being used as the
primary means of communication must immediately re-establish primary communications on the
appropriate voice frequency.
5.11.2 In the event of 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.

5.12 NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY


5.12.1 Depending on the nature of the emergency condition experienced, pilots should notify
ATC of the circumstances by the most efficient means (voice or CPDLC).
5.12.2 If a CPDLC MAYDAY or PAN message is received by the ground system, 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 cancelled 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).
5.12.3 ATC may respond via CPDLC to a report indicating unlawful interference with the uplink
message ROGER 7500.
5.12.4 If the emergency situation no longer exists, the pilot 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 867
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

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 read-back 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;
b. enroute holding instructions;
c. any route and holding point 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;
e. any approach clearance;
f. assigned runway, 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.
g. SSR codes, data link logon codes;
h. Level instructions, direction of turn, heading and speed instructions;
6.3.2 The controller will listen to the read-back to ascertain that the clearance or instruction has
been correctly acknowledged and will take immediate action to correct any discrepancies
revealed by the read-back.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 868
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

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, eg:
ATS: “(aircraft call-sign) BEHIND A340 ON SHORT FINAL, LINE UP [RUNWAY (number)]
BEHIND”.
Pilot: “BEHIND THE A340, LINING UP [RUNWAY (number)] (aircraft call-sign)”.

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 Whenever a situation arises whereby an aircraft, in the initial clearance, is cleared on a
route and/or at a level other than that expected according to the flight notification, ATS will prefix
the route and/or level details with the term “AMENDED” to alert the pilot that the clearance is dif-
ferent to that expected, eg:
a. ATS: “(aircraft call-sign) CLEARED TO (destination) [AMENDED ROUTE] (route clearance
details) [AMENDED LEVEL] (level).”
6.6.2 The prefix “AMENDED” will not be used:
a. when an initial level for ATC traffic management purposes has been issued as part of an air-
ways clearance to an aircraft departing an active CTR – in which case “MAINTAIN” shall be
used;
b. during normal progressive climb/descent instructions.
6.6.3 When an issued airways clearance needs to be changed ATS will prefix the new route
and/or level details with the term “RECLEARED” to indicate to the pilot that a change has been
made to the previous clearance and this new clearance supersedes the previous clearance or
part thereof. The level will be stated in all clearance changes regardless of whether a change to
the initially cleared level is made or not, e.g.:
a. ATS: “(aircraft call-sign) RECLEARED [TO (destination)] [(route clearance details)] (level)”.

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 TIME
6.11.1 Australia uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for all operations. The term “Zulu” is
used when ATC procedures require a reference to UTC, e.g.:

0920 UTC “ZERO NINE TWO ZERO ZULU”


0115 UTC “ZERO ONE ONE FIVE ZULU”

6.11.2 To convert from Standard Time to Coordinated Universal Time:

Eastern Standard Time Subtract 10 hours


Central Standard Time Subtract 9.5 hours
Western Standard Time Subtract 8 hours.

NOTE: Daylight Saving is not applied universally across Australia.


6.11.3 The 24-hour clock system is used in radiotelephone transmissions. The hour is indicated
by the first two figures and the minutes by the last two figures, e.g.:

0001 “ZERO ZERO ZERO ONE”


1920 “ONE NINE TWO ZERO”

6.11.4 Time may be stated in minutes only (two figures) in radiotelephony communications
when no misunderstanding is likely to occur.
6.11.5 Current time in use at a station is stated to the nearest minute in order that pilots may
use this information for time checks.
6.11.6 Control towers will state the time to the nearest half minute when issuing a taxi clearance
to a departing aircraft, e.g.:

0925:10 “TIME, TWO FIVE”


0932:20 “TIME, THREE TWO AND A HALF”
2145:50 “TIME, FOUR SIX”.

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.

COMMUNICATIONS

– RADAR — Surveillance Information service (SIS), where provided as a separate function in ter-
minal areas.
– FLIGHTWATCH — Flight Information Service.
6.13.1.2 The name of the location or the service may be omitted provided that satisfactory com-
munication has been established.

6.14 AIRCRAFT CALL-SIGNS


6.14.1 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
WHISKEY ZULU – WHISKEY CHARLIE ZULU.
6.14.2 Pilots must be certain that aircraft identification is complete and clearly identified before
taking action on an ATC clearance. ATS will not abbreviate call-signs of air carrier or other civil
aircraft having authorized call-signs. ATS may initiate abbreviated call-signs of other aircraft by
using the prefix and the last three digits / letters of the aircraft identification after communications
are established. The pilot may use the abbreviated call-sign in subsequent contact with 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, eg QANTAS451 QANTAS451, or
c. repeating the prefix, eg 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.
6.14.3 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.

6.15 FLIGHT NUMBER CALL-SIGNS — USING GROUP FORM


6.15.1 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.
6.15.2 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 876
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

CLASSIC 12 CLASSIC TWELVE


VIRGIN 702 VIRGIN SEVEN ZERO TWO
BIRDOG 021 BIRDOG ZERO TWENTY ONE

6.15.3 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.
6.15.4 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.
6.15.5 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.

6.1.6
6.16 SELECTION OF AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND
SUFFIXES
6.16.1 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).
6.16.2 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.

6.17 GROUND VEHICLES


6.17.1 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”.

6.18 INTERCHANGE AND LEASED AIRCRAFT


6.18.1 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 877
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

6.18.2 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., ANSETT THREE ELEVEN, AIR NEW ZEALAND
INTERCHANGE (or LEASE), BOEING SEVEN FOUR SEVEN.

6.19 UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES


6.19.1 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 ENR 1.10 APPENDIX 2.
6.19.2 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.

6.20 CALL-SIGNS — FULL AND ABBREVIATED FORMATS


6.20.1 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 (eg 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 (eg “VIRGIN 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 (eg “JABIRU THIRTEEN FORTY SIX”).
6.20.2 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 6.20.2a.
6.20.3 For foreign registered aircraft, after establishing 2-way communications, ATS may initiate
abbreviated call-signs for the type stated in 6.20.2a and 6.20.2b. These call-signs may be abbre-
viated to:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 878
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS

a. the first character of the registration and at least the last 2 characters of the registration
marking (eg N35826 “NOVEMBER EIGHT TWENTY SIX”).
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.
6.20.4 In addition to the requirements of 6.20.1 to 6.20.3, the prefix “HELICOPTER” must be
used by rotary wing aircraft when first establishing 2-way communications on any frequency (eg
VH-WSO “HELICOPTER WHISKY SIERRA OSCAR”).

6.21 REGISTRATION OF RADIOTELEPHONY DESIGNATORS


6.21.1 Operators wishing to use flight number call-signs must obtain approval from Airservices
Australia. In the first instance, the operator should contact the appointment listed at para 6.22 and
provide:
a. three options for the telephony designator, including an indication of the operator’s preferred
option; and
b. three options for a two or three letter designator.
NOTE: Airservices Australia approves two letter designators and associated telephony only
for use within the Australian FIR. Three letter designators and associated telephony are
approved for international use both by Airservices Australia and ICAO, and are published
within ICAO Doc 8585.
6.21.2 When requesting approval of telephony and two or three letter designators, operators
should adhere to the following rules:
a. The telephony designator should resemble the name of the aircraft operating agency or its
function, and be distinct and dissimilar from any other telephony designators in use (eg,
HORIZON).
b. The two or three letter designator should reflect correlation with the telephony designator
(eg, HZA).
c. In order to reduce the length of transmission, the telephony designator should be brief and
comprising, if possible, one word of two or three syllables.
d. In order to reduce ATC screen clutter, approved two letter designators should be used for
domestic operations.
6.21.3 Once requests have been processed, Airservices Australia will notify the operator in writ-
ing of the approval along with an effective date. Approvals will be subject to the operator agreeing
to the use of group form.
NOTE: Effective dates usually align with the AIP Book amendment AIRAC date.

used. Words in brackets “[ ]” indicate optional additional words or information that may be neces-
sary in specific instances.
7.1.1.2 The following symbols indicate phraseologies which may differ from those used in an
international aviation environment, but are necessitated by Australian requirements.

◆ Unique to Australia (ICAO silent)


⋆ Military specific phraseologies

7.1.2 Phraseologies show the text of message components without call-signs. They are not
intended to be exhaustive, and when circumstances differ, pilots, ATS and Air Defence personnel,
and other ground personnel will be expected to use appropriate subsidiary phraseologies which
should be clear, concise, and designed to avoid any possible confusion.
7.1.3 For convenience, the phraseologies are grouped according to types of air traffic service.
However, users should be familiar with, and use as necessary, phraseologies from groups other
than those referring specifically to the type of air traffic service being provided. All phraseologies
must be used in conjunction with call-signs (aircraft, ground vehicle, ATC or other) as appropriate.
7.1.4 Phraseologies for the movement of vehicles, other than tow-tractors on the maneuvering
area, are not listed separately as the phraseology associated with the movement of aircraft is

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 950
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 aerodrome, 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 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, he/she 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 951
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 aerodrome reference point, a
navigation 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 952
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. Speed control instructions refer to indicated airspeed or
Mach number.
5.2 The pilot must request an alternative when the speed control instruction is unacceptable 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 A pilot will be advised to resume desired speed when a specific speed control instruction is
no longer necessary. Unless otherwise stated, a speed control instruction applies until the aircraft
reaches the point in the descent profile where the speed would normally be reduced below that
assigned by ATC. Unless otherwise specified, a clearance for final approach (except DME arrival)
or a clearance for visual approach terminates speed control.

6 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
(See EMERGENCY Section)

7 AIRCRAFT TRANSPONDER
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).
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 953
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

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 not involved in special operations or SAR operating in Class G airspace in
excess of 15 NM offshore — 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.
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.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 954
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 955
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES

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.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

1 MERCY FLIGHTS
1.1 When an urgent medical, flood or fire relief or evacuation flight is proposed in order to
relieve a person from grave and imminent danger and failure to do so is likely to result in loss of
life or serious and permanent disability and the flight will involve irregular operation, a mercy flight
shall be declared.
1.2 A mercy flight must only be declared by the pilot-in-command, and the factors / risks that the
pilot-in-command must consider in the declaration, commencement and continuation of the flight
are detailed in paragraph 1.5.
1.3 A flight must not be declared a mercy flight when:
a. it can comply with the applicable regulations and orders; or
b. operational concessions to permit the anticipated irregular operations can be obtained.
In these cases, the flight should be notified as Search and Rescue (SAR), Medical (MEDEVAC or
HOSP), Flood or Fire Relief (FFR). Special consideration or priority will be granted by ATC if nec-
essary.
1.4 A mercy flight must not be undertaken when:
a. alternative means of achieving the same relief are available; or
b. the crew and other occupants of the aircraft involved will be exposed to undue hazard; or
c. relief or rescue can be delayed until a more suitable aircraft or more favorable operating con-
ditions are available.
1.5 In assessing the justification of risks involved in a mercy flight, the pilot must consider the
following:
a. the availability of alternative transport or alternative medical aid;
b. the weather conditions enroute and at the landing place(s);
c. the distance from which it should be possible to see the landing place(s);
d. the air distance and the type of terrain involved;
e. the navigation facilities usable and the reliability of those facilities (such facilities may
include landmarks, etc.);
f. the availability of suitable alternate aerodrome(s);
g. the availability and reliability of communications facilities;
h. the asymmetric performance of the aircraft;
i. whether the pilot’s experience reasonably meets the requirements of the mercy flight;
j. the effect on the person requiring assistance if the flight is delayed until improved operating
conditions exist;
k. whether the flight is to be made to the nearest or most suitable hospital; and
l. the competence of the authority requesting the mercy flight.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 957
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

1.6 The pilot-in-command of a mercy flight must:


a. give flight notification as required for a charter flight and identify the flight by the term
“MERCY FLIGHT”. This notification shall include the reason for the mercy flight and refer-
ence to any rule or regulation which will not be complied with;
b. specify reporting points or times when contact will be made;
c. specify the special procedures intended or special assistance required of the ground organi-
zation; and
d. limit the operating crew and other persons carried in the aircraft to the minimum number
required to conduct the flight.
1.6.1 If the mercy flight applies only to a portion of the flight, this must be stated in the flight noti-
fication. If a normal flight develops into a mercy flight, the pilot-in-command must take appropriate
action.

2 GLIDING OPERATIONS
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 Pilots should take extra care when operating at an aerodrome 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.
2.1.2 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 active runway below 2000 ft AGL is not advised, nor is land-
ing without first ascertaining that the cable is on the ground and not across the landing path. Aero-
tow and winch launching are possible up to 4000 ft AGL but launches to 1500 ft or 2000 ft AGL
are normal.
2.1.3 Except for operations in controlled airspace, gliding operations may be conducted no-
radio, or may be on frequencies 122.5 MHz, 122.7 MHz or 122.9 MHz, which have been allocated
for use by gliders. Unless otherwise authorized, gliding operations in controlled airspace must be
conducted using the appropriate air traffic control frequency. Radio equipped gliders at non-tow-
ered aerodromes will use the CTAF. Except when operationally required to maintain communica-
tions on a discrete frequency listed above, glider pilots are expected to listen out on the area VHF
frequency and announce if in potential conflict.

2.2
2.2 OPERATIONS AT CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED AERODROMES
2.2.1 Gliding operations may be conducted from:
a. a glider runway strip within the runway strip (single runway), using a common circuit direc-
tion;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 958
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

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.
2.2.2 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.
2.2.3 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.
2.2.4 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.
2.2.4.1 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.
2.2.5 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.
2.2.6 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.
2.2.7 At aerodromes 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.
2.2.8 At non-towered aerodromes, a listening watch on the CTAF is maintained during aerotow
launching by the tug pilot, and during wire launching by the winch or tow-vehicle driver. The tug
pilot or winch/car driver may be able to advise glider traffic information to inbound or taxiing air-
craft.
2.2.9 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.
2.2.10 Gliders are not permitted to perform aerobatics, including spin training, within 2 NM of a
certified or registered aerodrome below 2000 ft AGL.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 959
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

2.2.10.1 Gliders are not permitted to perform continuous 360 degrees turns nor to use thermal
lift on the live side of a common circuit area (including the circuit area being used by known traffic
on a crossing runway) unless they monitor the CTAF and give way to, and maintain adequate
separation from other traffic in the circuit area.

3 POLICE OPERATIONS
3.1 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.

4 BALLOON OPERATIONS
4.1 TYPES OF OPERATION
4.1.1 Balloons are permitted to operate in private, aerial work and charter operations. Aerial
work and charter operations are flown under an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) – the pilot-in-com-
mand holds a commercial pilot (balloon) license and is responsible to a chief pilot in accordance
with CAO 82.7. Private operations are conducted by pilots who hold a pilot certificate issued by
the Australian Ballooning Federation Inc.
4.1.2 Unless authorized by CASA, pilots of balloons engaged in private operations must not
operate:
a. in controlled airspace; or
b. below 2000 ft above aerodrome level within 3 NM of a certified or registered aerodrome, or
c. below 1000 ft above ground level over a populous area.
Permission to fly in these areas, either for a specified event or for suitably qualified pilots, may be
sought from CASA Area Offices. When permissions are issued, they usually contain directions to
operate in the same manner as balloons in aerial work or charter operations.
4.1.3 Pilots of balloons engaged in aerial work or charter operations may:
a. operate within controlled airspace subject to an ATC clearance;
b. operate from certified or registered aerodromes; and
c. take off from, and land at, adequate open spaces within populous areas. When doing this,
they must ensure that the balloon 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 300 meters of a populous area.
4.1.4 Balloon 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 land-
holders, stock or property. The Australian Ballooning Federation Inc maintains a register of sensi-
tive areas where landholders have requested that pilots not land, or observe a minimum overflight
height.

AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

4.2 CARRIAGE AND USE OF RADIO


4.2.1 Pilots of balloons engaged in aerial work or charter operations are required to carry and
use VHF radio for communication, 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.
4.2.2 Pilots of balloons who have been permitted to operate in the airspace described in sub-
paras 4.1.2a. and b. are required to carry and use radio as described in para 4.2.1. Where a
number of balloons are permitted to operate together in the vicinity of an uncontrolled certified or
registered aerodrome, one balloon in each group may maintain radio communication for the
group.
4.2.3 Pilots of balloons engaged in private operations are required to carry radio and use it in
accordance with the procedures described in Communications while they are operating:
a. within the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome where radio carriage and use is required;
b. at or above 5000 ft above mean sea level;
c. within 10 NM of an aerodrome with a published instrument approach procedure; or
d. at night.
4.2.4 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 radiotelephone operator license.

4.3 OPERATIONS IN THE VICINITY OF AERODROMES


4.3.1 Within 3 NM of an aerodrome, the pilot-in-command of a balloon is required to give way to
other traffic operating in the traffic pattern of the aerodrome which is applicable to the runway in
use at the time.
4.3.2 The pilot-in-command of a balloon who intends to overfly an aerodrome within 3 NM
should do so at a height greater than 1500 ft above the aerodrome. In the case of a private bal-
loon flight which is not specifically authorized by CASA, overflight must be conducted more than
2000 ft above the aerodrome.
4.3.3 The pilot of a balloon which is taking off within 3 NM of an aerodrome 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.

4.4 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS


4.4.1 General Flight Procedures prescribe VMC for balloons. Operations in other than prescri-
bed VMC are not permitted.

4.5 NIGHT BALLOON OPERATIONS


4.5.1 Aerial work and charter operations by pilots who hold a NVFR (balloon) rating, and private
operations with specific permission from CASA, may be conducted at night. In the case of aerial
work and charter operations, these are restricted to the period of one (1) hour prior to first light.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 961
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

4.6 OPERATIONS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


4.6.1 Prior to a proposed flight in controlled airspace, a balloon operator or pilot-in-command
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.
4.6.2 The balloon pilot must maintain a continuous listening watch on the appropriate frequency
during flight within controlled airspace, and report flight progress as required by ATC. The pilot
must report changes in the direction of drift, which will cause the balloon to diverge from its nomi-
nated track or area of operations, as soon as possible, and, in any case, before the track error
exceeds one (1) nautical mile.
4.6.3 For operations in an area of controlled airspace within radar coverage, a serviceable SSR
transponder must be carried unless ATC has advised otherwise.
4.6.4 In the event of a radio failure or other emergency, the relevant procedures must be fol-
lowed. Particular attention should be given to notifying the termination of a flight where radio con-
tact is not able to confirm this.

4.7 HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON FLIGHTS


4.7.1 Large helium filled plastic balloons are launched periodically from various locations. They
carry scientific equipment to record data from the upper atmosphere and normally ascend to alti-
tudes in excess of 70,000 ft with a flight duration of 80 hours or more.
4.7.2 The main balloon launching station is at Alice Springs but other launching sites may also
be used; e.g., Charleville. Where possible, flight paths will be selected so that the recovery area is
outside the more densely populated Eastern / South Eastern / South Western areas.
4.7.3 Notification of high altitude balloon flights will be by NOTAM.

5 PARACHUTING OPERATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 The pilot-in-command of a aircraft engaged in parachuting operations must take all rea-
sonable measures to ensure that parachutists exit the aircraft only if:
a. there is no risk of any part of the aircraft being fouled by parachutists or their equipment
when they exit;
b. the operation does not impose adverse stress on any part of the aircraft structure
c. the descent is able to be made in meteorological conditions where the target is clearly visible
and the parachutist does not enter cloud, unless CASA specifies otherwise in writing; and
d. loose objects that, if dropped, could create a hazard to persons or property on the ground or
the water, are not carried by parachutists when exiting the aircraft.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 962
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: In relation to sub-para c. above, the parachutist, the pilot and the parachute operator are
jointly responsible for ensuring that this requirement is met.
5.1.2 The pilot-in-command must take all reasonable measures to ensure that parachutists exit
the aircraft so as to reach the intended target.
5.1.3 A broadcast advising the intention to drop parachutists must be made from the drop air-
craft not less than two (2) minutes prior to parachutists exiting the aircraft. This requirement
applies to all relevant frequencies for the airspace through which the parachutists may descend,
including:
a. the appropriate ATC frequency or frequencies depending upon the airspace type(s) descen-
ded through, and
b. if the parachutists descend from the controlled airspace into Class G airspace, a broadcast
must be made on each specified frequency, and
c. where the landing area is located in the vicinity of a non-towered aerodrome, the CTAF.
5.1.4 A broadcast made under para 5.1.3 must give notice that parachutists intend to exit the
aircraft at the location specified in the broadcast, the position of the drop zone, exit altitude and
the number of parachute canopies to be dropped.
5.1.5 The pilot-in-command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft unless he or she has
made a broadcast in accordance with paras 5.1.3 and 5.1.4.

5.2 CONFLICTING TRAFFIC


5.2.1 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 airspace.
5.2.2 The pilot-in-command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft if he or she is notified,
or becomes aware, that there is conflicting traffic in the airspace in which the descents will be
conducted.
5.2.2.1 The pilot in command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft in Class E airspace
until in receipt of traffic information from ATC.

5.3 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


5.3.1 The pilot-in-command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft when the parachutists
will transit Restricted Area(s) or Classes A, C or D airspace until in receipt of an ATC clearance.
5.3.2 An aircraft engaged in parachuting operations must not engage in an operation in which
parachutists exit the aircraft in controlled airspace and leave, transit or enter controlled airspace
during their descent, unless the aircraft is equipped with two (2) VHF radio transceivers to com-
municate with ATC and to monitor and advise air traffic outside the controlled airspace.
5.3.3 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 963
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

5.3.4 For parachutists that have been cleared to transit Restricted Area(s) or Classes A, C and
D airspace pilots must advise ATC when all parachutists are on the ground. Primary communica-
tion should be by radio; however, if this is not possible, detail alternative arrangements in letters
of agreement between local operators and the ATC unit(s) concerned.

5.4 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AT NON-TOWERED AERODROMES


WHERE RADIO CARRIAGE IS REQUIRED
5.4.1 An aircraft engaged in parachute operations must not engage in an operation involving
parachute descents in the vicinity of an aerodrome where radio carriage is required, unless it is
equipped with two (2) VHF radio transceivers to monitor and advise air traffic in the vicinity of the
aerodrome, and in the surrounding area.
5.4.2 In addition to the broadcast required under para 5.1.3 the pilot-in-command must make a
broadcast not less than four (4) minutes before the descents occur to give notice that parachutists
intend to exit the aircraft at the location specified in the broadcast.
5.4.3 A broadcast under para 5.4.2 must be made on the CTAF and appropriate ATC frequen-
cies.
5.4.4 The pilot-in-command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft in the vicinity of an
aerodrome where radio carriage is required within the 15 minutes before the estimated time of
arrival at an aerodrome of a Regular Public Transport (RPT) aircraft unless:
a. the two aircraft are in direct radio communication with each other; and
b. all parachutists can exit the aircraft and land before the RPT aircraft arrives within the circling
area of the aerodrome.
5.4.5 After an RPT aircraft arrives at an aerodrome where carriage of radio is required, the pilot-
in-command of a aircraft engaged in parachuting operations at that aerodrome must not allow
parachutists to exit the aircraft until the RPT aircraft has landed and taxied clear of the runway.
5.4.6 After an RPT aircraft has broadcast that it is taxiing for departure from an aerodrome
where carriage of radio is required, the pilot-in-command of an aircraft engaged in parachuting
operations must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft until the RPT aircraft is clear of the cir-
cling area of the aerodrome.

5.5
5.5 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS CERTIFIED AND REGISTERED

STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 964
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

d. the descents do not conflict with any aircraft that are:


1. on the live side of any circuit known to be in use, or that could reasonably expected to
be used by known traffic in prevailing conditions; or
2. using any runway, taxiway or apron
5.5.2 Para 5.5.1 does not apply to an operation involving parachute descents at a certified or
registered aerodrome to the extent that written specifications issued under Regulation 152 of the
Regulations require or allow the descents to be conducted differently.
5.5.3 The pilot in command must not allow parachutists to conduct descents at a certified or reg-
istered aerodrome if the pilot in command of another aircraft:
a. is carrying out an instrument approach procedure at the aerodrome; or
b. is expected to commence an instrument approach procedure within five (5) minutes.

5.6 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATIONS ABOVE 10,000 FT


AMSL
5.6.1 A flight crew member who is on flight deck duty in an unpressurized aircraft engaged in
parachuting operations must be provided with, and continuously use, supplemental oxygen:
a. if the aircraft operates above FL120; or
b. if the aircraft operates above 10,000 ft AMSL:
1. for more than 15 minutes during a sortie; or
2. at night; or

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

6.2.2 Recommended VFR Reporting Procedures Across Bass Strait


6.2.2.1 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.
6.2.2.2 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.
6.2.2.3 Minimum altitude requirements apply to enable continuous two-way VHF communication
across Bass Straight.
6.2.3 Air Traffic Services
6.2.3.1 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.
6.2.3.2 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.

8 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND SURVEY OPERATIONS


8.1 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.

9 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS


9.1 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.

10 MILITARY AUTHORITY ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR


SEPARATION OF AIRCRAFT (MARSA)
10.1 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
aircraft, 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.
10.2 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.

11 “DUE REGARD” OPERATIONS


11.1 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.

12 MILITARY LOW JET ROUTES


12.1 Low level flying exercises are carried out by military jet aircraft from a number of airfields.
Routes at or below 5000 ft AGL used by military jet aircraft for low level, high speed navigation or
terrain following exercises are designated as Military Low Jet Routes (MLJR). Routes are planned
to avoid:
a. controlled airspace administered by Airservices Australia;
b. civil restricted and danger areas;
c. published civil aerodromes by at least 5 NM laterally or 4000 ft vertically;
d. aerodromes where carriage and use of radio is required unless equipped with the appropri-
ate radio frequency; and
e. sensitive areas and oil/gas platforms.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 978
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

12.2 Notification of routes and duration of MLJR operations will be by NOTAM. Information on
MLJR activity in your area is available from the pre-flight briefing service and FLIGHTWATCH.
12.3 Aircraft using MLJR may be camouflaged and emit little or no smoke trail, although they will
normally show anti-collision beacons. Aircraft may operate singly or in close or loose formation.
Significant wake turbulence and a large turn radius may be expected.
12.4 All MLJR aircraft are equipped with UHF and some also have VHF and HF. However, they
may often be out of communications for part of their flight. Most aircraft are equipped with naviga-
tion and/or terrain following radar, but these radars do not enable avoidance of conflicting aircraft.
12.5 Where possible, pilots should plan their flights to avoid active MLJR.
12.6 The following MLJR are activated H24 and are flown by Military jet aircraft operating at or
below 5000 ft AGL:
a. 15 NM SE Gold Coast (Descent Point) – 6 NM SSW Evans Head 5000 ft AGL (remaining E
of the coast) – YB(R)-638.
b. YB(R)-638 – 10 NM SSW Baryulgil below 3000 ft AGL – 6 NM SSW Evans Head –
YB(R)-638.
c. YB(R)-638 – 10 NM SSW Baryulgil below 3000 ft AGL – Gatton (Climb Point) – Amberley.
d. YB(R)-638 – Porpoise Point (remaining 10 NM E of the coast) – Amberley (6000 ft).
e. YB(R)-638 – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Gold Coast – Point Lookout (Stradbroke Island) –
Brisbane.
f. Point Lookout – Gold Coast – Coastal below 5000 ft AGL – YB(R)-638.
g. YB(R)-638 – Casino 231025 – Amberley 191043 – Amberley.
NOTE: A number of other MLJR and Defence activities are in operation at various times in
addition to those shown above and will be advised by NOTAM when necessary. Pilots must
refer to this information to gain an appreciation of military operations that might affect their
operation.

13 SECURITY AWARENESS
13.1 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.
13.2 Any suspicious circumstances or unusual behavior should be immediately reported to the
police and the relevant aircraft, airline, or airport operator.

14 FIRE OPERATIONS
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.

15 HELICOPTER OPERATIONS – AT AERODROMES 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 aerodromes
and in helicopter access corridors and lanes, in accordance with the provisions of CAR 92, 157,
163 and 166 (CARs not published herein).

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 aerodrome.
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 Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 92-2(1) (not pub-
lished herein).

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 CAAP 92-2(0). Any illuminated runway or illuminated taxiway of dimen-
sions commensurate with the size of the HLS applicable to the helicopter, in accordance with
CAAP 92-2(1), is considered to meet the requirements of CAAP 92-2(1).
15.3.2 Non-Towered Aerodromes
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 980
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

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 aerodromes;
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 Aerodromes
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.
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 CAAP 92-2. Any illuminated runway or illuminated
taxiway of dimensions commensurate with the size of the HLS applicable to the helicopter, in
accordance with CAAP 92-2, is considered to meet the requirements of CAAP 92-2.
15.5.2 Non-Towered Aerodromes
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.

15.6 CIRCUIT PROCEDURES


15.6.1 Controlled Aerodromes
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 aerodrome ele-
vation; or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 982
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

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 aerodrome elevation.
15.6.2 Non-Towered Aerodromes
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 aerodrome eleva-
tion. 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;
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 aerodrome 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 WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES


1.1 The following procedures provide guidance for pilot action when weather deviations are
required in Oceanic Controlled Airspace (OCA). As all possible circumstances cannot be covered,
the pilot’s judgement must ultimately determine the sequence of actions to be taken.
1.2 If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid weather, and prior clearance cannot
be obtained, an ATC clearance must be obtained at the earliest possible time. In the meantime,
the aircraft must follow the procedures detailed in paragraph 1.6.
1.3 The pilot must advise ATC when a weather deviation is no longer required, or when a
weather deviation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route. Further
deviations from route will require new clearance.

1.4 WEATHER DEVIATIONS — OBTAINING PRIORITY FROM ATC


1.4.1 When a pilot initiates communications with ATC, the requirement for frequency priority and
a rapid response may be indicated by use of the phrase, “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED”.
1.4.2 A pilot retains the option of initiating communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) to alert all listening parties of a special handling condition which
requires ATC priority for issuance of a clearance or assistance.

1.5 WEATHER DEVIATIONS — PILOT-CONTROLLER COMMUNICATIONS


ESTABLISHED
1.5.1 When communication between the pilot and controller (via third party) is available, the pilot
must request clearance to deviate from track advising, where possible, the extent of the expected
deviation. The controller will then initiate the following:
a. if there is no conflicting traffic in the lateral dimension, issue a clearance to deviate from
track; or
b. if there is conflicting traffic in the lateral dimension, establish vertical separation and issue a
clearance to deviate from track; or
c. if unable to establish vertical separation, and there is conflicting traffic in the lateral dimen-
sion:
1. advise the pilot that clearance for the requested deviation is not available;
2. provide traffic information about, and to, all affected aircraft; and
3. request pilot’s intentions.
Example Phraseology:
“UNABLE (requested deviation), TRAFFIC IS (call sign, position, altitude, direction), ADVISE
INTENTIONS”.
1.5.2 The pilot must:
a. comply with the ATC clearance issued; or
b. advise ATC of intentions and execute the procedures detailed in paragraph 1.6 below; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 984
AUSTRALIA
CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

c. if necessary, establish voice communications with ATC to expedite dialogue on situation.

1.6 WEATHER DEVIATIONS — REVISED ATC CLEARANCE NOT


OBTAINED
1.6.1 Under the provisions of the rules of the air, and in the interests of safety to do so, the pilot
may deviate from the route or track as necessary.
1.6.2 If a revised air traffic control clearance cannot be obtained and deviation from track is
required to avoid weather, the pilot must conform with the following:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system.
b. Broadcast the following at suitable intervals on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (as a
back-up, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz may be used):
1. aircraft identification (operator call sign),
2. flight level,
3. aircraft position including track code or ATS route designator, and
4. intentions including the extent of deviation expected.
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS/ACAS (if equipped).
d. Turn on all exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).
e. When deviations are less than 10 NM, remain at the level assigned by ATC.
f. For deviations greater than 10 NM, when the aircraft is approximately 10 NM from track, ini-
tiate a level change based on the following criteria:

Route Centerline Track Deviations >10 NM Level Change


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 contact was not established prior to deviating, continue trying to contact ATC to obtain
clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and obtain
traffic information.
h. When returning to track and within approximately 10 NM of track, be at assigned flight level.

1.7 AIRCRAFT DEVIATIONS — GREATER THAN MODERATE


TURBULENCE
1.7.1 If greater than moderate turbulence is experienced, and the pilot believes it will impact on
the aircraft’s capability to maintain the Cleared Flight Level (CFL), the pilot should proceed as fol-
lows:
a. watch for possible conflicting traffic and make maximum use of exterior lights;
b. broadcast call sign, position, level, nature and severity of turbulence, and intentions on 121.5
MHz (inter-pilot frequency may be used as a back-up);
c. notify ATC as soon as possible and request level change if necessary; and
d. if the CFL cannot be maintained, execute established contingency procedures to leave
assigned track or route.
NOTE: Based on pilot advice and traffic assessment, the ATS provider may suspend RVSM oper-
ations.

1.8 AIRCRAFT DEVIATIONS — OTHER THAN WEATHER


1.8.1 The following procedures are applicable primarily when sub-sonic aircraft require rapid
descent and/or turn-back or diversion to an alternate airport. The pilot must take actions as nec-
essary to ensure the safety of the aircraft. The pilot’s judgement will determine the sequence of
actions to be taken, taking into account specific circumstances.
1.8.2 If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised
clearance must, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using the radiotel-
ephony distress or urgency signal, as appropriate.
1.8.3 If prior clearance cannot be obtained, the pilot must advise air traffic control as soon as
practicable, advising the type of aircraft and nature of the problem. The aircraft should be flown at
a flight level and on an offset track where other aircraft are least likely to be encountered. Until a
revised clearance is received, the pilot must comply with the following:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system.
b. Broadcast the following at suitable intervals on the frequency in use and on frequency 121.5
MHz (as a backup, the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz may be used):
1. aircraft identification (operator call sign),
2. flight level,
3. aircraft position including track code or ATS route designator, and
4. intentions including the extent of deviation expected.
c. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS/ACAS (if equipped); and
d. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations).
1.8.4 If unable to obtain a revised ATC clearance, the aircraft should leave its assigned route or
track by turning at least 45° right or left in order to acquire a same or opposite direction track
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 986
AUSTRALIA
CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES

offset 15NM from the assigned track centerline. When possible, the direction of turn should be
determined by the position of the aircraft relative to any organized route or track system (eg,
whether the aircraft is outside, at the edge of, or within the system). Other factors to consider are
the direction to an alternate airport, terrain clearance, any strategic lateral offset being flown and
the levels allocated to adjacent routes or tracks.
1.8.4.1 When leaving assigned track:
a. if the intention is to acquire a same direction offset track, the pilot should consider limiting the
turn to a 45 degree heading change, in order not to overshoot the offset contingency track;
or
b. if the intention is to acquire and maintain an opposite direction offset track, then:
1. operational limitations on bank angles at cruising altitudes will normally result in over-
shooting the track to be acquired. In such cases a continuous turn should be extended
beyond 180 degrees heading change, in order to re-intercept the offset contingency
track as soon as operationally feasible; and
2. while executing a turnback extreme caution pertaining to opposite direction traffic on
adjacent routes must be exercised and any climb or descent specified in 1.8.5 should
be completed before approaching within 10NM of any adjacent ATS route.
1.8.5 Subsequent Actions. The following actions should be followed subsequent to an aircraft
deviation in oceanic controlled airspace:
a. Aircraft Able to Maintain Level:
Once the aircraft has deviated 10NM from the assigned track centerline, climb or descend to
select a final level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft (150M) if at or below
FL410, or 1000 ft (300M) if above FL410.
b. Aircraft Unable to Maintain Level:
An aircraft NOT able to maintain its assigned level should, whenever possible, minimize its
rate of descent and select a level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft (150M) if
at or below FL410 or 1000 ft (300M) if above FL410. Pilots should consider the possibility
that aircraft below on the same track may be flying a 1 or 2NM strategic lateral offset proce-
dure.
c. Diversion Across the Flow of Adjacent Traffic:
Before commencing a diversion across the flow of adjacent traffic, the aircraft should, while
maintaining the 15 NM offset, expedite climb above or descent below levels where the
majority of oceanic traffic operate (e.g., to a level at or above FL410 or below FL285) and
then maintain a level which differs by 500 ft (150m) from those normally used.
1.8.6 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 (150m) above or below levels normally used, until a new ATC clearance
is obtained.

1.9 AIRCRAFT DEVIATIONS — ETOPS AIRCRAFT


1.9.1 If the contingency procedures addressed in paragraph 1.8 are to be employed by Exten-
ded Range Operations Aeroplanes with Two Turbine Power-units (ETOPS) 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.

2 AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE


2.1 INTRODUCTION

2.7 MANDATORY BROADCAST PROCEDURES (ATC TEMPORARILY NOT


AVAILABLE)
2.7.1 When ATC is temporarily not available, mandatory broadcast procedures may be specified
in addition to TIBA broadcasts and will be used by pilots to provide advisory traffic information to
other aircraft and to arrange mutual segregation. Mandatory broadcast frequencies will be notified
by NOTAM.
2.7.2 When arriving or departing from an aerodrome where mandatory broadcast procedures
apply, pilots must monitor the appropriate mandatory broadcast frequency. Broadcasts must be
made as follows:

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


1.2.1 Regulation 2.5 of the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003 (TSI Regulations)
contains a list of ‘responsible persons’ for reporting aviation occurrences to the ATSB. A “respon-
sible 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 991
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 he/she has 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, and
c. 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.

6 INVESTIGATION
6.1 The transport safety investigator of an IRM or an RRM has the capacity to obtain such infor-
mation as is necessary to conduct the investigation through the powers delegated to him or her
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
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.
6.3 Under section 43 of the TSI Act, the Executive Director of the ATSB, or a delegate may
impose a ‘Protection Order’ on evidence relevant to the investigation. For example, aircraft wreck-
age, maintenance records or cockpit voice recorders. Where such evidence is under a ‘Protection
Order’, the removal or interference with that evidence is an offence. However, the same excep-
tions listed above for Section 24 apply for ‘Protection Orders’.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) – Hold-
ing Procedures,” Table IV-1-1, Holding Speeds.
When leaving an enroute holding pattern, jet aircraft must advise ATC if operating at other than
250 KIAS. Aircraft should maintain a constant IAS, and any sustained speed variation of more
than 10 kt must be advised to ATC.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Instrument approach procedures are designed to criteria contained in two different versions of
ICAO PANS-OPS, Document 8168. Charts on which minima are not identified by aircraft category
are old criteria charts.
Charts drawn to the old criteria will be replaced progressively.
Minimum Sector Altitude
25 NM and 10 NM MSAs provide 1000 ft obstacle clearance. An aircraft within 25 NM or 10 NM of
the facility 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 Sector MSA is lower than the 10 NM MSA, the Sector MSA may
be used for tracking to the aid 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 1001
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 Approaches
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 aerodrome when:
a. By Day — Within 30 NM of the aerodrome at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the
route segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GPS 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 5000m or the aerodrome is in sight; and
4. subsequently can maintain (1), (2) and (3) at an altitude not less than the minimum pre-
scribed for VFR flight (CAR 157) to within the circling area.
b. By Night — At an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate
step of the DME or GPS 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. within the circling area; or
5. within 5 NM (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS) of that aerodrome aligned with
the runway centerline and established not below “on slope” on the T-VASIS or PAPI; or
6. within 10 NM (14 NM for runways 16L and 34L at Sydney Intl) of that aerodrome, estab-
lished not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
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;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1002
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.

Go Around And Missed Approach Procedure in VMC


In the event that an aircraft 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.
The exception to the above procedure is that, at Sydney Intl, a visual go around must be carried
out:
a. in accordance with the published instrument missed approach procedure for the primary
instrument approach for the runway the aircraft is using; or
b. as directed by ATC.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1003
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Missed Approach Procedure in VMC


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.
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.
All aircraft operating into and out of Melbourne Intl, Essendon and, all aircraft arriving or departing
within 30 NM of Sydney Intl, maximum speed is 250 KIAS when operating below 10,000 ft. Air-
craft which require speeds greater than 250 KIAS must advise ATC. Higher speeds assigned by
ATC above 10,000 ft does not negate this requirement.
All jet aircraft departing Sydney Intl must commence acceleration to 250 KIAS no later than 3000
ft, then must maintain 250 kts until leaving 10,000 ft. Pilots unable to comply must advise ATS
with Airways Clearance Request.

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 Aerodrome (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 aerodrome QNH. These minima may be
reduced by 100 ft whenever actual aerodrome 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 aerodrome 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.
Where the forecast area QNH is used, the minima used must be increased by 50 ft.
Jeppesen charted minimums are not below State minimums.
Aerodrome Operating Minima (AOM)
Operators must, in accordance with ICAO Annex 6, Part I, Chapter 4, establish AOM for each aer-
odrome to be used for operations. After consideration of the factors listed in Annex 6, operators
may determine that their AOM should be higher than the stated aerodrome operating minima. In
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1004
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

any event, all DAs must be adjusted to determine an AOM which accounts for aircraft pressure
error. Operators may apply aircraft Pressure Error Correction (PEC) or, alternatively, add at least
50 ft to the published DA. Compensation for aircraft pressure error is not required when determin-
ing AOM for non-precision approaches.
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)
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 Category II and III precision approaches, or
b. for Category I approaches when the visibility is less than 800M, or
c. for low visibility takeoffs 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 of activation of aerodrome, runway, taxiway, apron, VASIS and
wind indicator lighting. The lighting is activated using coded carrier wave only VHF transmissions
within a short range of a PAL equipped aerodrome.
Operation of VHF Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL)
a. ON DEPARTURE: Before taxi
b. ON ARRIVAL: Within 15 NM of AD, and at or ABV LSALT select the appropriate VHF FREQ:

1. Transmit pulse must be between 1 and 5 SECS.


STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1005
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

2. Three pulses must be transmitted within 25 SECS. Ensure that the third pulse ends
before the 25th second.
3. Break between transmissions can be more or less than 1 SEC – (no limit).
Lights to illuminate for a minimum of 30 MINS. If not:
– keep transmitting 3 SEC pulses,
– check frequency.
4. When runway lights are about to extinguish, the wind indicator light will flash continu-
ously. REPEAT OPERATING PROCEDURE.
PAL will remain illuminated for 30 to 60 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 is indicated on applicable Terminal Airport Charts or in the Airport Directory at locations
where available.
AERODROME FREQUENCY RESPONSE UNIT WITH PAL OPTION (AFRU + PAL)
PAL operation may be provided as an optional function of the AFRU on the associated aerodrome
CTAF. Aerodrome lighting enabled by AFRU + PAL is available only during night hours or at other
times of low natural light levels. During periods of daylight, when the light intensity is above a
preset level, the system will not activate the lights.
Where a discrete PAL frequency is also provided, actuation of the aerodrome lights may be effec-
ted either by using the PAL system on the discrete PAL frequency, or the AFRU + PAL system on
the CTAF.
On receipt of the required aircraft transmission, the AFRU will operate the aerodrome lighting cir-
cuitry (runway and wind indicator lights). The AFRU will transmit the standard reply (the aero-
drome name and CTAF) immediately followed by the additional confirming message, “RUNWAY
LIGHTS ON”. If the lights do not illuminate, the AFRU will transmit the message, “NO RUNWAY
LIGHTS”. In this case, pilots should key the required transmission again or, alternatively, change
to the PAL frequency and operate the lights via the PAL.
AFRU + PAL required transmission is:

After actuation, the aerodrome lights will remain illuminated for 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, the
windsock lights will flash at 1 second intervals and the AFRU will transmit the message,
“RUNWAY LIGHTS TEN MINUTES REMAINING”. At any time, rekeying of the required transmis-
sion will reset the lights for a period of 30 minutes.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES


A subsonic jet propelled aircraft will not be permitted to operate in Australia unless it meets the
requirements of ICAO Annex 16, Volume I, Chapter 3 (not published herein).
Operating Marginally Noise Compliant Aircraft (MCC3) at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth,
Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin, Cairns, Gold Coast, Newcastle (Williamtown), Essendon,
and Avalon airports requires prior permission.
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 downwind 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 downwind 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.
Curfews
There are curfews on some operations at Adelaide, Gold Coast, Melbourne/Essendon and
Sydney aerodromes. Details of the curfew are published on the applicable NOISE chart in the
Terminal section.

DME/GPS ARRIVAL PROCEDURES


General
The DME or GPS Arrival procedure is an instrument approach procedure that provides descent
guidance along a specified track or sector, to the visual circling area of an aerodrome. Azimuth
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1007
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

guidance is required from the specified radio navigation aid. The requirements for visual circling,
missed approach and visual approaches are applicable.
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.
GPS
Subject to the restrictions stated below, approved GPS systems may be used for distance meas-
urement during the conduct of a DME or GPS Arrival.
The following specific restrictions apply to the conduct of a GPS Arrival:
a. The database medium (card, chip, etc) must be current and of a kind endorsed by the
receiver manufacturer.
b. The coordinates of the destination VOR or NDB, to which the descent procedure relates,
must not be capable of modification by the operator or crew.
c. GPS integrity (e.g., RAIM) must be available before descending below the LSALT/MSA.
d. The nominated azimuth aid (VOR or NDB) must be used to provide track guidance during
the arrival procedure.
e. In the event of a significant disparity between the NDB or VOR track, and the GPS track indi-
cation, the pilot must discontinue the arrival procedure.
NOTE: Significant disparities (Tolerances may be rounded up to the nearest half degree)
are:
a. NDB: > 6.9°, and
b. VOR: > 5.2°.
f. If at any time during the approach, there is cause to doubt the validity of the GPS information
(e.g., RAIM warning), or if GPS integrity is lost (e.g., RAIM not available), the pilot must con-
duct a missed approach.
Operations in Controlled Airspace
The clearance “CLEARED DME (or GPS) ARRIVAL” constitutes a clearance for final approach
and authorizes an aircraft to descend to the minimum altitude specified in the appropriate DME or
GPS arrival procedure. ATC is not permitted to impose any altitude restriction on such a clear-
ance.
When cleared for a DME or GPS 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 GPS arrival that involves the use of a holding pattern entry procedure.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1008
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

When ATC cannot issue a clearance for an unrestricted DME or GPS arrival, the phrase
“DESCEND TO (level) NOT BELOW DME (or GPS) STEPS” may be used. Such an instruction
authorizes descent in accordance with the DME or GPS 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 GPS) STEPS” and will issue further instructions prior to the air-
craft’s reaching the cleared level.
Nothing in these procedures absolves the pilot-in-command from his/her responsibilities to main-
tain 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.

STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)


STARs are pre-planned IFR arrival routes which link enroute airways systems to a fix at or near
the destination aerodrome.
STARs will normally be issued prior to commencement of descent to permit pilots to plan for any
vertical navigation requirements or speed restrictions.
For flights that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of the flight notification form, ATC will automati-
cally issue a STAR with an RNP AR termination where available (eg: LIZZI ONE UNIFORM), or
an expectation of an RNP AR approach where there is no applicable STAR, except as follows:
a. The pilot requests an alternative approach.
b. Traffic sequencing requirements.
c. There is no RNP AR approach published for the particular runway or approach track.
Where there is more than one RNP AR approach for a particular runway, ATC will determine the
approach to be used based on traffic sequencing and/or separation requirements.
A STAR may be commenced at any point from a Transition Fix to the Arrival Fix.
A pilot must read back to ATC the STAR identifier and any transition, runway and termination pro-
cedure specified in the STAR clearance.
The pilot in command must advise ATC if cleared via a STAR which requires the use of naviga-
tion aids not available to the aircraft.
Where a STAR incorporates circuit legs to a runway, pilots of aircraft not equipped with a flight
management system may have difficulty with navigation on the STAR. Where this is the case, the
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1009
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

pilot-in-command should accept the STAR clearance and request vectors when contacting
Approach Control; e.g., “REQUEST VECTORS FROM (waypoint or fix).”
The STAR speed requirement of 250 KIAS maximum below 10,000' must be complied with unless
amended by ATC. A speed restriction greater than 250 KIAS issued above 10,000' does not vary
this requirement. A speed less than 250 KIAS imposed above 10,000' must be complied with
throughout the STAR procedure.

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES


General
Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are pre-planned IFR departure routes printed for pilot use
in diagrammatic and narrative form.
NOTE: SIDs do not account for engine failures or other emergencies involving loss of aircraft per-
formance.
SIDs (procedural and radar) are procedures to be followed until the aircraft reaches the lowest
safe altitude (LSALT) for intercepting the route segment.
SIDs (procedural and radar) may be flown by aircraft already airborne provided that, before com-
mencing a SID, the pilot visually positions the aircraft on the runway centerline so that all tracking
and altitude requirements can be met.
A procedural SID specifies in both diagrammatic and narrative form the direction of turn, tracks,
and in some cases, altitude requirements and standard departure points. When tracking to or
from a navigation aid is not possible, nominal tracks are shown. The flight planned route should
be intercepted as closely as possible to the specified DME distance, where given.
Unless specifically designated otherwise, procedural SIDs are for use by all aircraft types.
Radar SIDs specify the initial track and minimum altitude at which a turn may be initiated on to the
ATC assigned heading.
NOTE: SID procedures assume that pilots will not compensate for wind effects when being vec-
tored, but will compensate for known or estimated wind effects when flying departure routes which
are expressed as tracks.
Aircraft Performance
SIDs provide specific aircraft performance parameters. The design climb gradients are provided
to assist the pilot in maintaining obstacle clearance. A pilot not meeting the published gradients,
for any reason, accepts responsibility for obstacle clearance. If alternate procedures are neces-
sary; e.g., after engine failure, the pilot-in-command must advise ATC.

PARALLEL INSTRUMENT APPROACHES


Dependent Approaches in IMC
Dependent parallel approaches may be conducted to parallel runways with centerlines separated
by more than 915m provided that:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1010
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

a. the aircraft are making straight-in approaches;


b. Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches are being conducted on adjacent runways.
Independent Approaches in IMC
Requirements for pilot participation in independent parallel (ILS PRM) approaches in IMC are
detailed on the Sydney (-Kingsford Smith) Airport chart titled “ILS PRM USER INSTRUCTIONS”.
Suspension of Approaches
Independent parallel approaches to parallel runways spaced less than 1525m will be suspended
during periods of severe weather such as thunderstorms, windshear, turbulence, down draughts
or crosswinds which might increase ILS localizer course deviations to an unacceptable level of
deviation alerts.

PARALLEL VISUAL APPROACHES


Dependent Visual Approaches
Dependent visual approaches to parallel runways may be conducted in accordance with proce-
dures and requirements for visual approaches.
Independent Visual Approaches
Independent visual approaches may be conducted to parallel runways with centerlines separated
by at least 760m provided that the aircraft are making straight-in approaches commencing at the
outer marker or 4 NM from the runway threshold.
Aircraft may be processed via an ILS approach until visual, then cleared for an independent visual
approach. Notification will be by the ATIS using the phrase “EXPECT ILS APPROACH THEN
INDEPENDENT VISUAL APPROACH WHEN VISUAL”. When visual, the pilot will be cleared for
a visual approach and will be required to comply with the pilot responsibilities listed below.
A pilot should report “VISUAL” and/or “RUNWAY (number) LEFT/RIGHT IN SIGHT” as soon as
possible after first contact with Approach / Director. The “VISUAL” report is the only report
required when established on the localizer. The report indicates that the pilot can maintain the
runway in sight throughout the approach. If visual contact is lost, the pilot must advise ATC imme-
diately.
Pilot Responsibilities
Pilots of aircraft conducting independent visual approaches are responsible for:
a. flying accurate headings when being vectored to final;
b. ensuring that the runway centerline is not crossed during intercept;
c. accurately tracking the extended runway centerline;
d. maintaining a visual lookout for aircraft approaching the parallel runway;
e. in the event of an aircraft not complying with a., b. or c. above, maintaining the necessary
separation from aircraft on the other approach;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1011
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

f. advising ATC immediately when avoiding action is initiated or visual contact with the runway
is lost; and
g. meeting the obstacle clearance requirements for night visual approaches.

SIMULTANEOUS OPPOSITE DIRECTION PARALLEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS


Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations (SODPROPS) may be conducted.
Traffic information, which will include the runway and position of the traffic and may include air-
craft type, will be passed to arriving and departing aircraft as follows:
a. Arriving aircraft will be advised of all departing aircraft that can be expected to depart off the
opposite direction parallel runway and are likely to pass when within 10 NM of touchdown;
e.g., “TRAFFIC (aircraft type) DEPARTING ON OPPOSITE DIRECTION PARALLEL
RUNWAY, TURNING EAST”
b. Departing aircraft will be advised of all arriving aircraft that can be expected on final for the
opposite direction parallel runway and are likely to pass when within 10 NM of departure;
e.g., “TRAFFIC (aircraft type) EIGHT MILES FROM TOUCHDOWN FOR OPPOSITE
DIRECTION PARALLEL RUNWAY”
NOTE: Pilots are not required to report traffic sighted.

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 numbers 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 he or she is qualified, has situa-
tional awareness, and has determined that the LDA is adequate for the prevailing conditions and
the status of the aircraft. The aeroplane manufacturer’s demonstrated landing distance must be
multiplied by at least a factor of 1.67 for dry conditions and 1.92 for wet or downwind conditions.
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.
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.)”
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1012
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

NOTE: The acronym LAHSO may be used at ATC discretion.


Read-back 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 aerodromes 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
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. When issued with a land-and-hold-short
instruction, a pilot must not permit the aircraft to pass the hold-short lights.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

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, 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.

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 aerodromes 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 Defence Force. Class C procedures
and services apply to civil flights.
CTRs are active during the hours of the operation of the control tower. Military CTRs may be acti-
vated at short notice. Pilots should plan their operations on the basis that CTRs 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1014
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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:

SUNSTATE 122 SUNSTATE ONE TWENTY TWO


EASTERN 1220 EASTERN TWELVE TWENTY
CAR 21 CAR TWENTY ONE
CLASSIC 12 CLASSIC TWELVE
VIRGIN 702 VIRGIN SEVEN ZERO TWO
BIRDOG 021 BIRDOG ZERO TWENTY ONE
QANTAS 800 QANTAS EIGHT HUNDRED

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.
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.

ENGINE START, PUSH BACK AND TAXI


Engine Start
The pilot-in-command must request approval to start engines when the requirement is notified by
ATIS, NOTAM, AIP Supplement, ATC or indicated on the applicable Terminal Airport chart.
Push Back
The pilot-in-command must obtain an approval to push back where this maneuver is necessary
prior to taxiing.
Example: * Denotes pilot transmission
a. *[aircraft location] REQUEST PUSHBACK
b. PUSHBACK APPROVED TAIL (direction e.g. North)
c. PUSHBACK AT OWN DISCRETION [TAIL (direction e.g. West)]
d. EXPECT (number) MINUTES DELAY DUE (reason)
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1015
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Taxi Clearance
For IFR flights operating as other than regular public transport, the pilot-in-command must provide
ATC with the number of persons on board (POB) when requesting taxi clearance.
Airborne Report — Class C Control Zones
In Class C Control Zones (where an ATS surveillance service is provided), on first contact with
departures control, a pilot must report:
a. the direction of turn;
b. the initial heading;
c. the altitude passing, to nearest 100'; and
d. the last assigned level.
However, an aircraft tracking via a SID which does not incorporate initial heading instructions is
only required to advise altitude passing and confirm assigned level.
Departure Report — Class D Control Zones
In Class D control zones (where a procedural service is provided), the pilot of an IFR flight must
report after take off:
a. departure time (if applicable);
b. tracking information;
c. the last assigned altitude; and
d. the estimate for the first reporting point enroute.
Enroute
In controlled airspace, separation standards are based on the pilot maintaining track as closely as
possible at all times. Corrective action must be taken to regain 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.

TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT


Perth Feeder Fix Flow Procedure
The feeder fix positions are:
a. Jets – SAILS, JULIM, BEVLY, SOLUS and MANDU;
b. Turbo-props – CONNI, GRENE, DAYLR, SOLUS and MANDU.
Aircraft will be assigned a time at which to cross the feeder fix and will be instructed to fly at 250
KIAS for jets and 220 KIAS for turbo-props from the feeder fix. Pilots will be required to make their
own decisions on the speed required to achieve the time at the fix. Where it is not possible to ach-

AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

ieve the required delay with speed, aircraft may be vectored or required to hold to achieve the
feeder fix time. The feeder fix time will not be altered, except in unexpected circumstances once,
in the case of jet aircraft, they are within 120 NM of Perth and in the case of turbo-prop aircraft
within 90 NM of Perth. Outside of these distances, the time may be altered to amend the
sequence or to fit aircraft departing closer to Perth into the sequence.
Aircraft departing from Aerodromes within 300 NM Perth, using the ground based delay proce-
dure, will be given a feeder fix time in lieu of a landing time. It is most important that these times
are precisely met. ATC should be advised as soon as it is apparent that the fix time cannot be
met. Contact Perth TCU Phone 08 9476 8620.
Slot Allocations
An airline has the responsibility to obtain separately from any airport owners and/or operators,
permission to operate services to and from the airports on the days and the times it proposes for
scheduled and non-scheduled operations.
In addition, the Sydney Airport Demand Management Act 1997 requires all aircraft operators
(excluding emergency and state aircraft) to obtain time slots (slots) for all arrivals and departures
at Sydney Intl in advance of the operation. Airport Coordination Australia manages the allocation
of all slots at Sydney Intl and slots for international services at all other Australian international
gateways on behalf of the airport owners and/or operators and the Commonwealth.
Allocation of slots is undertaken in accordance with the airport facilities limitations, the Sydney
Airport Demand Management Act 1997 and regulations made under the Act, and the Slot Man-

CENTRAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CTMS) — SYDNEY


Long range traffic arriving Sydney Intl between 1900–2100 are requested to advise ATC of TAS
upon entry to Australian FIR. Traffic sequencing may be conducted for flights arriving Sydney air-
port between 1900–2100. Flow instructions may be issued to these aircraft up to 1,000NM from
destination. There will be no change to existing priorities. Times issued may be subject to change
for operational reasons.
Pilots operating into and out of Sydney airport are required to obtain a slot in advance of the oper-
ation. Slots are obtained from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) on (02) 9313 5469 or Fax (02)
9313 4210, Mon-Fri 0800 – 1600 LT. Arrival Slots allocated by ACA may be subject to change by
CTMS because of operational constraints. Slots for short notice non-scheduled flights shall be
obtained on the day of operation from ATC on 1800 020 626. These slots will be allocated from
the available pool.
All fixed-wing aircraft operating into Sydney are required to advise flight details. Failure to advise
or update flight details may result in extensive airborne holding or no airways clearance being
issued.
Flights will be allocated landing times based on the available capacity of the airport. Landing
times may be varied due to changes in conditions e.g. unexpected weather conditions or sudden
changes in RWY capacity. Pilots are required to adhere to these times. Departure times may be
changed in conjunction with changes in landing times. Notification of changes to slots allocated to
existing scheduled flights should be advised to ACA in accordance with the Compliance Adminis-
tration Manual.
Pilots of regular public transport (RPT) aircraft will be advised of the latest operating time through
their company. Pilots of other aircraft must contact Air Traffic Services (ATS) Sydney unit one
hour prior to operating – phone 1800 020626.
Flights operating Bankstown to Sydney with a slot already assigned must ring the Flow Director
on 02 9556 6515 one hour prior to the flight operating in lieu of the notification in the preceding
para.
Notification of flight details is additional to all existing notification requirements.
Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and descent
profiles.

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 aerodrome and
the suitability of an aerodrome as an alternate.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1018
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

“Special” Alternate Minima


Special alternate weather minima are available for specified approaches at some aerodromes for
use by aircraft with dual ILS / VOR approach capability, i.e., with duplicated LOC, G/P, marker
and VOR receivers. The requirement for duplicated marker receivers may be satisfied by one
marker receiver and DME. (The assumption is that such aircraft will also have two ADF systems
when an NDB is used for the ILS.)
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 aerodrome 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;

c. Wind – a crosswind or downwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft;
a provision for an alternate need not be made if sufficient fuel is carried to allow 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 additional 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.
Traffic Holding Fuel Advisory
Standing advisories for traffic holding fuel for some major aerodromes are promulgated below. In
other cases, when traffic delays for a particular aerodrome are anticipated, ATC will advise the
required holding fuel by NOTAM. The pilot-in-command of an aircraft arriving at a destination
without the notified traffic holding fuel will not be accorded a priority approach unless the pilot
declares an emergency.

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. All turbine-powered commercial transport aero-
planes certified to carry more than 30 passengers, or which have a MTOW in excess of 15,000kg,
are required to carry and operate TCAS II equipment while in Australia airspace. Pilots are expec-
ted to respond to TCAS alerts as follows:
a. Traffic Advisory: In the case of a Traffic Advisory the pilot will attempt to establish visual
contact and change the flight path only if a collision risk is established visually.
b. Resolution Advisory: In the case of a Resolution Advisory the pilot will respond in accord-
ance with the collision avoidance maneuver prescribed by the TCAS system.
NOTE 1: In controlled airspace, the controlling agency must be advised immediately when a Res-
olution Advisory maneuver is initiated.
NOTE 2: Not all transponders used in Australian airspace are compatible with TCAS II, which
cannot detect aircraft fitted with the incompatible transponders.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) requires that all TCAS Resolution Advisory
Alerts, which involve a breakdown in separation only, be treated as immediately notifiable occur-
rences.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1021
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

The ATSB reporting requirements apply to all TCAS equipped aircraft operating in Australian
Flight Information Regions. The requirements also apply to Australian registered aircraft operating
outside of Australian airspace.

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. Australia procedures comply with ICAO Annex 11 to DOC 7300, also published in this Airway
Manual. Notable clarifications follow.
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, 128.95MHz;
b. below FL200:
1. In Class G airspace other than in oceanic areas, the Flight Information Area frequency;
2. otherwise 126.35MHz.
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. 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.
To receive an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) derived ATS surveillance
service in Australian airspace, aircraft operators must make application to Airservices Australia.
Only aircraft meeting the criteria for ADS-B operations in Australia as specified in CASA Civil Avi-
ation Orders (CAOs) shall be eligible to receive ADS-B derived services. ADS-B data from ineligi-
ble aircraft will not be displayed to ATC.
Operators of ADS-B equipped aircraft approved to receive ADS-B services in Australia should
insert “ADSB” as the first element following RMK/ in Field 18 of the flight notification form.

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 read back 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.

GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS)


GNSS is a worldwide satellite navigation service comprising of one or more satellite constella-
tions, including GPS, aircraft receivers and integrity monitoring, augmented as necessary to ach-
ieve specific navigational performance.
CASA has approved various operations using GNSS avionics that receive signals from the GPS
constellation. Approvals and conditions are specific to the operation, flight crew qualifications and
the systems on board the aircraft. Further guidance and legislative references may be found in
CAAP 179A-1.
GNSS must not be used as a reference for flight below Lowest Safe Altitude/Minimum Sector Alti-
tude (LSALT/MSA) except in specified IFR applications or as otherwise authorized by CASA.
In the event that GNSS performance degrades to where an alert is raised, or there is other cause
to doubt the integrity of GNSS information, the pilot-in-command must discontinue its use and
carry out appropriate NAVAID failure procedures.

LATERAL OFFSETS IN OCEANIC CONTROL AREAS (OCA)


Aircraft operating in OCA in the Australian FIRs are authorized to use lateral offsets in accord-
ance with the requirements detailed below.
a. The offset shall only be applied by aircraft with automatic offset tracking capability.
b. When an offset is applied, the offset must be established at a distance of 1 NM or 2 NM to
the RIGHT of track relative to the direction of flight.
c. The offset must only be applied during the enroute phase of flight.
d. The offset must not be used in addition to diversions or other offsets; eg, weather or wake
turbulence.
e. The offset must not be applied at levels where obstacle clearance would be affected.
f. Identified aircraft:
1. may continue an offset; and
2. must advise ATC prior to initiating or changing an offset.
The decision to apply a lateral offset is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command. Other than
when an identified aircraft initiates or changes a lateral offset, pilots are not required to notify ATC
that a lateral offset is being applied.

ON-REQUEST SERVICE — ATC AND FLIGHTWATCH


An On-Request FIS is available from;
a. Flightwatch, in the first instance, where established; or
b. ATC VHF.
ATC may advise pilots to access information on the Flightwatch frequency if workload considera-
tions or frequency congestion dictates. FLIGHTWATCH is the generic radio call-sign of the On-
Request Service to respond to in-flight requests for operational information from pilots operating
in all classes of airspace.

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. The routes are as follows: R-220, R-580, A-590, R-591 and G-344.
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. They are
as follows: B-327 (For Westbound use only between BAMOK and SELDM), R-341,
G-469, A-342, G-215, R-330, R-451, R-336, R-338, G-583 and G-349.
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. Aircraft 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. Aircraft 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: Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL330, FL350, FL370, FL390, FL410
(b) R-580: Even Altitudes FL180 to FL400, also FL350, FL370, FL390, FL430
(c) A-590: Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340
(d) R-591: Eastbound, Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340
(e) R-591: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL300 to FL400, also FL350, FL370, FL390,
FL430

NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

(f) G-344: Eastbound, Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340
(g) G-344: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL300 to FL400, also FL350, FL370, FL390,
FL430
(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-220 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.
e. Procedures
1. Peak traffic periods are:
(a) Eastbound - 0700UTC to 2100UTC
(b) Westbound - 1200UTC to 1900UTC and 2200UTC to 0800UTC
(c) Due to traffic volume, flights desiring to operate contrary to the predominant traffic
flow can expect to be rerouted or assigned less than optimum flight levels. If feasi-
ble, users planning to operate in the NOPAC Route System at airspeeds below
MACH 0.78 should use other than the peak hours for their flights. This will reduce
congestion and expedite traffic.
f. 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.”

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES IN


OCEANIC AIRSPACE ICAO DOC 4444, SECTION 15.2
INTRODUCTION
a. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, these procedures provide for the
more frequent cases such as:
1. Inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions, aircraft
performance or pressurization failure;
2. En route diversion across the prevailing traffic flow; and
3. 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.
b. These procedures are applicable primarily when descent and/or turn-back or diversion is
required. The pilot shall take actions as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft and the
pilot's judgement shall determine the sequence of actions to be taken, having regard to the
prevailing circumstances. Air traffic control shall render all possible assistance.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
a. If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, and/or an
aircraft is unable to maintain the navigation performance accuracy specified for the airspace,
a revised clearance shall be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
b. The radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency signal (PAN PAN) preferably
spoken three times shall be used as appropriate. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that
aircraft shall be based on the intentions of the pilot and the overall air traffic situation.
c. If prior clearance cannot be obtained, until a revised clearance is received, the following
contingency procedures should be employed and the pilot shall advise ATC as soon as prac-
ticable, reminding them of the type of aircraft involved and the nature of the problem. In gen-
eral terms, the aircraft should be flown at a flight level and on an offset track where other
aircraft are least likely to be encountered. Specifically, the pilot shall:
1. Leave the assigned route or track by initially turning at least 45 degrees to the right or to
the left, in order to acquire a same or opposite direction track offset 15 NM (28km) from
the assigned track centerline. When possible, the direction of the turn should be deter-
mined by the position of the aircraft relative to any organized route or track system.
Other factors which may affect the directions of the turn are:
(a) The direction to an alternate airport;
(b) Terrain clearance;
(c) Any strategic lateral offset being flown;
(d) The flight levels allocated on adjacent routes or tracks.
2. Having initiated the turn:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1030
NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

(a) If unable to maintain the assigned flight level, initially minimize the rate of descent
to the extent that is operationally feasible (pilots should take into account the pos-
sibility that aircraft below on the same track may be flying 1 or 2 NM strategic lat-
eral offset procedures (SLOP)) and select a final altitude which differs from those
normally used by 150m (500 ft) if at or below FL410, or by 300m (1000 ft) if above
FL410; or;
(b) If able to maintain the assigned flight level, once the aircraft has deviated 19km
(10 NM) from the assigned track centerline, climb or descend to select a flight level
which differs from those normally used by 150m (500 ft), if at or below FL410, or
by 300m (1000 ft) if above FL410;
3. Establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable
intervals on 121.5 MHz (or, as backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45
MHz) and where appropriate on the frequency in use: aircraft identification, flight level,
position (including ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate) and inten-
tions;
4. Maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equip-
ped);
5. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
and
6. Keep the SSR transponder on at all times.
d. When leaving the assigned track:
1. If the intention is to acquire a same direction offset track, the pilot should consider limit-
ing the turn to a 45 degree heading change, in order not to overshoot the offset contin-
gency track; or
2. If the intention is to acquire and maintain an opposite direction offset track, then:
– Operational limitations on bank angles at cruising altitudes will normally result in
overshooting the track to be acquired. In such cases a continuous turn should be
extended beyond 180 degrees heading change, in order to re-intercept the offset
contingency track as soon as operationally feasible; and
– Furthermore, if executing such a turnback in a 56km (30 NM) lateral separation route
structure, extreme caution pertaining to opposite direction traffic on adjacent routes
must be exercised and any climb or descent, as specified in c.2.(b) above should be
completed preferably before approaching within 19km (10 NM) of any adjacent ATS
route.

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

ditious handling.
Position Reports over Oakland Oceanic FIR/CTA Boundary
a. Aircraft entering the Oakland FIR/CTA 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, Biak, Port Moresby and Nauru
FIR's and the Oakland FIR.
4. 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. Outbound from the Kwajalein (Bucholz Tower) Area at the 180 NM ARC from the NDJ
TACAN.
7. Eastbound PACOTS Flights should report only those fixes detailed in the published
route.
8. 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. Aircraft with an
active ADS connection should make one CPDLC position report over the FIR boundary and dis-
continue CPDLC waypoint reporting after the FIR report.
a. POSITION REPORTS:
1. When operating on a fixed or NOTAMed route, report and estimate the designated
reporting points using the specified names of such points or 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 1 plus 20 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 1 plus 20) parallel of latitude extending north and
south of the equator.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1032
NP
NORTH PACIFIC (NOPAC) ROUTE PROCEDURES

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. POSITION REPORT CONTENTS:
Position reports shall comprise information on present position, estimated next position and
ensuing position in sequence as indicated below. Forward planned flight level change infor-
mation while in the Oakland FIR.
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) Lon-
gitude (3 digits or more).
(d) Time over reporting point (4 digits UTC).
(e) 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. A restriction to cross a point at
an altitude is not a block altitude assignment and should not be reported as a block
of altitudes.
2. Estimated next position:
(a) Reporting point name, or if not named, latitude and longitude as in 1.(c)(1) and (2)
above and,
(b) Estimated time over next position (4 digits UTC).
3. Ensuing Fix
(a) Name only of the next succeeding fix whether compulsory or not, or if not named,
latitude and longitude as in 1.(c)(1) and (2) above.
4. Preplanning Flight Levels- Within the Oakland FIR, pilots should forward the time
requesting the next subsequent cardinal flight level.
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 Weather Service and/or ATC.
d. 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-

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
position if position will be reported at the entry/exit fixes at the Honolulu Domestic/
Oceanic boundary. To the west of Honolulu 160° West need not be reported.

WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES FOR OCEANIC-CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


When deemed necessary to deviate from the ATC assigned track for weather, the pilot must
request an ATC clearance to do so. Expedited response may be obtained by stating “WEATHER
DEVIATION REQUIRED” or using the “PAN PAN PAN” urgency call. ATC will give a request for
weather deviation priority over routine requests.
ATC Communications Established
If traffic permits, ATC will issue clearance to deviate from track. To issue a weather deviation
clearance, ATC may require an altitude change to establish vertical separation. If unable to issue
a clearance for weather deviation, ATC will:
a. Advise the pilot - Unable to issue clearance for requested deviation.
b. Advise pilot of conflicting traffic.
c. Request Pilot's intentions.
PHRASEOLOGY: “Unable (requested deviation), traffic is (call sign, position, altitude, direction),
advise intentions”.
The pilot will take the following action:
a. Advise ATC of intentions by the most expeditious means available.
b. Comply with air traffic control clearance issued or
c. Execute the procedures detailed in Jeppesen Air Traffic Control pages (ATC will issue
essential traffic information to all affected aircraft).
d. If necessary, establish voice communications with ATC to expedite dialogue on the situation.
No ATC Communication or Revised Clearance Unavailable
In the event ATC communications cannot be established or a revised ATC clearance or sugges-
ted action cannot be obtained, pilots are to follow the procedures outlined on Jeppesen Air Traffic
Control pages and published in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) and the Chart Supple-
ment to:
a. If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system, while alerting traffic in the
area and maintaining a watch for other aircraft.
b. If deviating less than 10 NM remain at the assigned altitude. If deviating more than 10 NM
climb or descend 300 feet (depending on direction of flight and course deviation) in accord-
ance with the published climb/descent chart.

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 1036

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 1037
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 1038
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
– Fukuoka FIR
– Kota Kinabalu / Kuala Lumpur FIRs
– Nadi FIR
– Oakland Oceanic FIR
– Singapore FIR
In addition, the following FIRS have adopted similar procedures, except that the lateral track sep-
aration for in-flight contingencies in oceanic airspace is 25 NM as adopted under earlier ICAO
DOC 4444 guidance. Since these countries may adopt the current ICAO guidance at any time,
operators should determine with applicable FIR controlling agencies the current lateral track sepa-
ration required.

– Hong Kong FIR
– Manila FIR
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1041
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

– Pnomh Penh FIR


– Taipei FIR
– Tahiti FIR
Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures in 5.1 and 5.2 provide for
the more frequent cases such as:
a. inability to maintain assigned flight level due to meteorological conditions, aircraft perform-
ance or pressurization failure;
b. enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow; and
c. loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in an air-
space where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct of
flight operations.
With regard to a) and b), the procedures are applicable primarily when rapid descent and/or turn-
back or diversion is required. The pilot's judgement shall determine the sequence of actions to be
taken, having regard to the prevailing circumstances. 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, and/or an air-
craft is unable to maintain the navigation performance accuracy specified for the airspace, a
revised clearance shall be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
The radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency signal (PAN PAN) preferably spoken
three times shall be used as appropriate. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft shall
be based on the intentions of the pilot and the overall air traffic situation.
If prior clearance cannot be obtained, until a revised clearance is received the following contin-
gency procedures should be employed and the pilot shall advise air traffic control as soon as
practicable, reminding them of the type of aircraft involved and the nature of the problem. In gen-
eral terms, the aircraft should be flown at a flight level and on an offset track where other aircraft
are least likely to be encountered. Specifically, the pilot shall:
a. leave the assigned route or track by initially turning at least 45 degrees to the right or to the
left, in order to acquire a same or opposite direction track offset 15 NM (28km) from the
assigned track centerline. When possible, the direction of the turn should be determined by
the position of the aircraft relative to any organized route or track system. Other factors
which may affect the direction of the turn are:
1. the direction to an alternate airport;
2. terrain clearance;
3. any strategic lateral offset being flown; and
4. the flight levels allocated on adjacent routes or tracks;
b. having initiated the turn:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1042
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

1. if unable to maintain the assigned flight level, initially minimize the rate of descent to the
extent that is operationally feasible (pilots should take into account the possibility that
aircraft below on the same track may be flying a 1 or 2 NM strategic lateral offset proce-
dure (SLOP)) and select a final altitude which differs from those normally used by 150m
(500 ft) if at or below FL 410, or by 300m (1000 ft) if above FL 410;
or
2. if able to maintain the assigned flight level, once the aircraft has deviated 19km (10 NM)
from the assigned track centerline, climb or descend to select a flight level which differs
from those normally used by 150m (500 ft), if at or below FL 410, or by 300m (1000 ft) if
above FL 410;
c. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals
on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz) and where
appropriate on the frequency in use: aircraft identification, flight level, position (including the
ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate) and intentions;
d. maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
e. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations); and
f. keep the SSR transponder on at all times.
Extended Range Operations By Aeroplanes With Two-Turbine Power-Units (ETOPS)
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 practica-
ble of the situation, reminding ATC of the type of aircraft involved, and request expeditious han-
dling.

5.2 WEATHER DEVIATION PROCEDURES


General
NOTE: The following procedures are intended for deviations around adverse meteorological con-
ditions.
When the pilot initiates communications with ATC, a rapid response may be obtained by stating
“WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the frequency and for
ATC response. When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency
call “PAN PAN” (preferably spoken three times).
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, advising, when possible,
the extent of the deviation expected.
ATC should take one of the following actions:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1043
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

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.
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;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track code)
and intentions, on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, 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);
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions of b) and c) above, the pilot deter-
mines 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 con-
flict.
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. for deviations of less than 19km (10 NM) remain at a level assigned by ATC;
f. for deviations greater than 19km (10 NM), when the aircraft is approximately 19km (10 NM)
from track, initiate a level change in accordance with Table 1;

Table 1
Route center line track Deviations > 19km (10 NM) Level Change

g. when returning to track, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within approxi-
mately 19km (10 NM) of the center line; 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.

5.3 PROCEDURES FOR STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSETS IN OCEANIC


AND REMOTE CONTINENTAL AIRSPACE
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: The following incorporates lateral offset procedures for both the mitigation of the
increasing lateral overlap probability due to increased navigation accuracy, and wake turbulence
encounters.
NOTE 3: The use of highly accurate navigation systems (such as the global navigation satellite
system (GNSS)) by an increasing proportion of the aircraft population has had the effect of reduc-
ing the magnitude of lateral deviations from the route center line and, consequently, increasing
the probability of a collision, should a loss of vertical separation between aircraft on the same
route occur.
The following shall be taken into account by the appropriate. ATS authority when authorizing the
use of strategic lateral offsets in a particular airspace:
a. strategic lateral offsets shall only be authorized in enroute oceanic or remote continental air-
space. Where part of the airspace in question is within radar coverage, transiting aircraft
should normally be allowed to initiate or continue offset tracking;
b. strategic lateral offsets may be authorized for the following types of routes (including where
routes or route systems intersect):
1. uni-directional and bi-directional routes; and
2. parallel route systems where the spacing between route center lines is not less than
55.5km (30 NM);
c. in some instances it may be necessary to impose restrictions on the use of strategic lateral
offsets, e.g. where their application may be inappropriate for reasons related to obstacle
clearance;
d. strategic lateral offset procedures should be implemented on a regional basis after coordina-
tion between all States involved;
e. the routes or airspace where application of strategic lateral offsets is authorized, and the pro-
cedures to be followed by pilots, shall be promulgated in aeronautical information publica-
tions (AIPs); and
f. air traffic controllers shall be made aware of the airspace within which strategic lateral offsets
are authorized.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1045
PACIFIC
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUMS (RVSM) PACIFIC REGION

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.
The strategic lateral offset shall be established at a distance of 1.85km (1 NM) or 3.7km (2 NM) to
the right of the center line relative to the direction of flight.
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, one
of the three available options (center line, 1.85km (1 NM) or 3.7km (2 NM) right offset) may be
used.
NOTE 3: Pilots are not required to inform ATC that a strategic lateral offset is being applied.

craft in certain contingency situations. They should be reviewed in conjunction with the expanded
contingency scenarios which contain additional technical and operational details.

Scenario 1: The pilot is: (a) unsure of the vertical position of the aircraft due to the loss or
degradation of all primary altimetry systems, or (b) unsure of the capability to maintain
cleared flight level (CFL) due to turbulence or loss of all automatic altitude control sys-
tems.
The Pilot should: ATC can be expected to:
Maintain CFL while evaluating the situation;
Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by
reference to ACAS, if equipped;
If considered necessary, alert nearby aircraft by
(a) making maximum use of exterior lights;
(b) broadcasting position, FL, and intentions on
121.5 MHz (as a backup, the VHF inter-pi-
lot air-to-air frequency, 123.45 MHz, may

Only classes A, D and G airspace are currently in use in the Fiji Islands.

SPEED
IFR: Maximum 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft AMSL.
VFR: Maximum 200 KIAS below FL200.

NADI FIR
The Nadi FIR is divided into two classes of airspace:
a. Class A (controlled airspace); and
b. Class G (uncontrolled airspace).
The Nadi FIR is designated RNP from FL280 to FL600 and 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.
Operators wishing to access 30/30 separation minima must annotate:
a. “J”, “R”, and “Z” in Item 10, Equipment; and
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1056
FIJI ISLANDS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.
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.

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

HOLDING
Particularities of Entries into a VOR DME Holding Pattern
Apart from cases of radar vectoring, arrivals into a VOR DME holding pattern are protected only:
– when following the inbound track of the holding.
– when following a published track.
In the case of an arrival along the VOR radial on which the inbound track of the holding is based,
but in reverse course of the inbound track, the only procedure with a 30° diverging angle (type 2)
is protected (whereas in PANS-OPS, there is a choice between two possibilities: type 1 and type
2).

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Instrument approach procedures are based on those contained in the PANS-OPS, Document
8168, Volume II.
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 aerodrome. 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 5m (16') below the aero-
drome elevation.
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.
Visual Maneuvering Without Prescribed Track (Circling — MVL)
The dimensions of the area associated with an MVL must be noted as they vary with the aircraft
category. The area is calculated by plotting an arc with a radius described below from the thresh-
old of every usable runway. These are:
Cat A — 2.2 NM
Cat B — 3.1 NM
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1059
FRENCH PACIFIC OS TERR
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Cat C — 4.5 NM
Cat D — 5.5 NM
When an acceleration segment is provided for in the final phase of the missed approach segment,
the following criteria apply:
a. minimum length — 6 NM;
b. minimum obstacle clearance (in the primary area) — 90m (300').

AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS


France publishes Decision Height (DH), Minimum Descent Height (MDH), and visibility for land-
ing. Visibility is published for take-off. Obstacle Clearance Heights (OCH) are published for selec-

INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURES


Turning Departures
The lowest height at which a turn may be initiated is 90m (295') above the departure end of the
runway (DER). There are two types of turning departures to consider:
Initial Turn — A turn made at a height of less than 300m (1000') or at a distance of less than 3.2
NM from the DER.
Turn After Initial Climb — A turn made at a height or distance greater than that for an “initial
turn.”

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1067
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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 aerodromes within the Kuala Lumpur FIR and request-
ing 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.
CPDLC Procedures
Aircraft that have established data link communications may transmit their position reports by
CPDLC instead of HF RTF.
Lumpur Control frequency (133.4 MHz / 133.7 MHz) will be used as primary back up frequency
for CPDLC. Primary and secondary HF frequencies (5670 KHz / 6655 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1068
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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
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.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with ATC Chapter ICAO Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) Part IV Hold-
ing Procedures, Table “Holding Speeds ICAO DOC 8168 Volume I”.

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS


Instrument holding, approach, and departure procedures in New Zealand are designed using cri-
teria contained in ICAO Document 8168-OPS/611 (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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1075

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.
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.
Remote Control of Lighting
Remote control of lighting may be available by prior arrangement with the airplane operator or
Chief Controller.
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 1076
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.
RNP
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.
Operators wishing to access 30/30 separation minima must annotate:
a. “J”, “R”* and “Z”+ in Item 10, Equipment;
b. “D” in Item 10, Surveillance Equipment; and
c. “NAV/RNP4” in Item 18.
The requirements of these annotations are to confirm that:
a. OpsSpecs approval is granted for RNP4 (30/30 separation);
b. crew training for pilots and dispatchers is complete for both RNP4 and FANS 1/A; and
c. documentation of normal and abnormal procedures for pilots and dispatchers is completed
and issued.
*This information allows automated ATC systems to determine aircraft navigational capabil-
ity.
+ This indicates that there is further information in field 18.
Minimum lateral and longitudinal separation between RNP10 aircraft is 50NM and between RNP4
aircraft is 30NM as permitted by ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030). In all
other cases, 100NM lateral or time-based longitudinal separation will be applied.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1077
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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
traffic disposition.
RVSM
RVSM operational approval is required for aircraft to operate within RVSM airspace; however,
non-RVSM approved aircraft (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 only be inserted in field 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.
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 systems.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1078
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.

Alert Level Radius From Vent Upper Limit


One 3 NM Note 1
Two 8 NM FL150
Three 16 NM FL330
Four 27 NM FL480
Five 50 NM FL660
NOTE 1: Raoul Island – 4500'; White Island – 4500'; Mt. Nqauruhoe – 10,500'; Mt. Ruapehu –
12,200'.

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.

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.
Procedures have been adopted in both Auckland Oceanic and New Zealand FIRs to comply with
ICAO ATS classifications Annex 11 TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCASTS BY AIRCRAFT
(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
frequency map.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1079
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS

Timing of TIBA
A TIBA broadcast should be made at 10-minute intervals between reporting points.
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 300 ft if above
FL290, or 500 ft if at or below FL290; and
Response to a system-initiated ACAS Resolution Advisory has precedence over other instructions
concerning collision avoidance under TIBA.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


FLIGHT PLANS
Flight plans should be submitted to the National Briefing Office at Christchurch using IFIS (Inter-
net Flight Information Service–www.ifis.airways.co.nz), telephone or facsimile (FAX).
A flight plan submitted by FAX is not accepted by ATS until acceptance is confirmed by return
FAX. All flight plans submitted by FAX must include an originator’s FAX number. If no return
acknowledgment is received within five minutes of submitting the plan by FAX, the pilot in com-
mand is required to call the Flight Information Centre or ATS unit to submit the flight plan by other
means.
IFR flight plans submitted prior to takeoff, shall be submitted at least 30 minutes prior to depar-
ture.
IFR flight plans submitted during flight should, as far as practicable, be transmitted to the appro-
priate ATS unit at least 10 minutes before reaching the point of entry into controlled airspace, or
20 minutes if onward transmission of the flight plan to other ATS units is required.

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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1081
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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:

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 and Norfolk Island 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 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.

POSITION REPORTING
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1082
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.
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

c. Make all turns to the left when approaching for a landing and after take-off unless—
1. otherwise authorized or instructed by ATC; or
2. a right hand airport traffic circuit has been prescribed by the Director; or
3. a turn in the opposite direction for an IFR procedure has been prescribed.

PILOT CONTROLLED LIGHTING (PCL)


VHF Activated Lighting
Remote VHF switching of aircraft lighting (i.e., Pilot Activated Lighting – PAL), T-VASIS and PAPI
facilities is available at many airports throughout Papua New Guinea. All lighting facilities respond
to VHF activation when the aircraft is within 30 nautical miles of the airport and within “line of
sight” range. The appropriate frequency is published on Airport Charts associated with the instru-
ment approach procedures and in the Airport Directory.
Where the airport lighting does not include PAPI systems, the method of activation is to transmit
continuously for at least ten (10) seconds. Where lighting facilities include a PAPI system, the
activation method differs: three (3) transmissions of at least three (3) seconds duration within 25
seconds is required.
NOTE: The facility is not provided with backup or fail safe equipment.

VISUAL FLIGHT RULES


Fuel Requirements for Flight Under VFR
A pilot-in-command of an airplane shall not begin a flight under VFR unless, in the forecast
weather conditions, the airplane has enough fuel to fly, including fuel required for taxi, take-off
and climb, to the first point of intended landing at the planned normal cruising speed, and to fly
after that for at least 45 minutes.
VFR Flight Plan
Each pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall—
a. where practical, submit a flight plan to an appropriate ATS unit prior to the start of each flight

cient fuel including contingency fuel as specified in (b), taking into account weather reports,
forecasts and conditions, to complete the flight to the airport of intended landing and—
1. when an alternate airport is not required, for airplanes, fly after that for 45 minutes at
holding speed at a height of 1500 feet above the airport.
2. when an alternate is required, fly from the airport of intended landing to the alternate
airport and, for airplanes, fly after that for 45 minutes at holding speed at a height of
1500 feet above the airport.
b. The contingency fuel required under paragraph (a) shall be at least 15% of the total fuel
required under paragraph (a) or sufficient fuel for at least 30 minutes at holding speed at a

final route segment or the lowest MSA; and
(b) the visibility is at least 8km.
Special Alternate Minimums
Special alternate weather minima are available at some airports for use by aircraft with dual
ILS/VOR approach capability, ie, with duplicated LLZ, G/P, marker and VOR receivers. (Such air-
craft will also have two ADF systems, when an NDB or locator is associated with the ILS.) Special
alternate weather minima are identified on the instrument approach charts by a double asterisk
adjacent to the ALTERNATE title and a note detailing the special minima.
These special alternate minima will not be available (minima will revert to normal alternate
minima) during periods when:
a. local METAR/SPECI or forecasting services are not available: or
b. there is a protracted unserviceability (ie, more than 7 days) of any one VHF approach aid; or
c. an airport control service is not provided.
NOTE: The non-availability of, or any revisions to special alternate minima will be advised by
NOTAM.

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 1,500 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 1100
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.

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, 0100, 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 must 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).

Visual Reference — Descent Below Minimum Altitude or Minimum Descent Altitude


Pilots carrying out an instrument approach at night may continue descent below minimum altitude,
minimum descent altitude or decision altitude, provided that the circling guidance lighting and/or
approach lighting and aerodrome lighting is in sight and can be maintained. At Port Vila/Bauerfield
it is acceptable to have only the circling guidance lights and runway threshold lights in sight as it is
not always possible to see all the runway lights until turning onto final approach due to adjacent
tall trees and bush.
Speed Restrictions
To facilitate the control of aircraft, general speed restrictions are applied in the vicinity of aero-
dromes and during procedural maneuvers as shown on instrument approach charts. Such restric-
tions are applied to conserve airspace, improve separation and facilitate procedural arrivals and

Start speed reduction when three (3) minutes or less from the holding fix. Cross the holding fix,
initially, at or below the maximum holding speed.
Make all turns during entry and while holding at:
a. 3° per second; or
b. 30° bank angle; or
c. 25° bank provided a flight director system is used;
whichever requires the least bank angle.
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.

STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1111
US PAC TERRITORIES
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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 Area
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 is related to the
aircraft category as follows:

APPROACH CATEGORY RADIUS (NM)


A 1.3
B 1.5
C 1.7
D 2.3
E 4.5

A minimum obstacle clearance of 300 feet is provided within the circling approach area.
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 m.p.h.).
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 m.p.h.). This does not
apply to operations within Class B airspace. Such operations shall comply with preceding para-
graph in this section.
No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying Class B airspace, or in a VFR corri-
dor designated through Class B airspace, at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kt (230
m.p.h.).
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
The GPS Approach Overlay Program is an authorization for pilots to use GPS avionics under IFR
for flying designated nonprecision instrument approach procedures, except LOC, LDA, and simpli-
fied directional facility (SDF) procedures. These procedures are now identified by the name of the
procedure and “or GPS” (e.g., VOR/DME or GPS RWY 15). 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 nonoverlay 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).
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
Offshore airspace areas are designated over international waters between the United States terri-
torial limits and the adjoining CTAs/FIRs to ensure proper transition between domestic and oce-
anic controlled airspace and procedures. United States domestic procedures are applied in off-
shore airspace areas to both VFR and IFR aircraft using 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.
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.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


GENERAL
Flight plans are required on all flights to any United States Territory of the Pacific Is.
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.

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

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 commu-
nications 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 1,000 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 1,000 feet and ground visibility of 3 miles and greater.

Unless otherwise authorized by the FAA Administrator, no person may include an alternate
airport in an IFR flight plan unless current weather forecasts indicate that, at the estimated
time of arrival at the alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility at that airport will be at or
above the alternate airport weather minima.
b. Operation under IFR in Class A, B, C, D, or E airspace malfunction reports:
1. The pilot-in-command of each aircraft operated in Class A, B, C, D or E airspace under
IFR shall report as soon as practical to ATC any malfunctions of navigational, approach,
or communication equipment occurring in flight.
2. In each report the pilot-in-command shall include:
(a) aircraft identification.
(b) equipment affected.
(c) degree to which the capability of the pilot to operate under IFR in the ATC system
is impaired; and
(d) nature and extent of assistance desired from ATC.

In the assignment of levels, aircraft operating on the six major RNAV routes (viz L642, M771,
N892, L625, N884 and M767) would have priority. Aircraft operating on routes that cross the six
major routes would be assigned levels, subject to coordination with the affected FIRs.

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
Aircraft shall not be operated within a control zone at or below 900m (3000 ft) above MSL at a
speed of more than:
a. Reciprocating engine aircraft – 160 KIAS
b. Turbine powered aircraft – 200 KIAS
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1126
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

Aircraft will not be operated within an approach control area at or below 3000m (10,000 ft) above
MSL or a control zone above 900m (3000 ft) above MSL at a speed above 250 KIAS.
However, if the aircraft is instructed by ATC to operate at a greater speed, or if the minimum safe
airspeed for the aircraft is greater than the maximum speed prescribed, the aircraft may be oper-
ated at the greater speed. Above provisions may not be applied if a permission is obtained from
the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

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 Airport
Advisory Service 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 aerodrome 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 1800m, 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.

Table 1: Conversion of Reported Meteorological Visibility to RVR/CMV


Lighting elements in operation RVR/CMV = Reported Met Visibility x __
Day Night
Approach and runway lights 1.5 2.0
Runway lights 1.0 1.5
No lighting 1.0 Not applicable

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1127
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.

Take-off Alternate Airport


A take-off alternate airport should be located within the following flying time from the airport of
departure with one engine inop after take-off:
– 1 hour for 2 engine aircraft
– 2 hours for 3 and more engine aircraft

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES


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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1132
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1133
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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:
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1134
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS


The term “CRUISE” may be used in regard to an altitude specified in an ATC clearance. This
gives the pilot an authorization to descend from the altitude assigned by ATC and to make an
instrument approach procedure established at the airport.
VFR flights shall not takeoff or land at an airport within a control zone, or at an airport designated
by the Minister of Transport outside a control zone:
a. when the ceiling is less than 300m (1000 ft); or
b. When the ground visibility is less than 5km.

OCEANIC POSITION REPORTING PROCEDURES (TOKYO FIR)


Flights whose tracks are predominantly East or West shall report over each 5° or 10° meridians of
longitude (10° will be used if the ground speed of the aircraft is such that 10° will be traversed in 1
hour and 20 minutes or less).
Flights whose tracks are predominantly North or South shall report over each 5° or 10° parallel of
latitude (10° will be used if the ground speed of the aircraft is such that 10° will be traversed in 1
hour and 20 minutes or less).
Air traffic services may request flights with slower ground speeds to report more frequently than
5°.

MACH NUMBER TECHNIQUE (MNT)


The MNT with 10 minutes longitudinal separation may be applied to turbojet aircraft operating in
the Fukuoka FIR on the same or continuously diverging routes within the oceanic control area.
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.

AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT (ATFM)


Air Traffic Flow Management is a service established with the objective of contributing to a safe,
orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic by ensuring that ATC capacity is utilized to the maximum
extent possible, and that the traffic volume is compatible with the capacities declared by the
appropriate ATS units.
ATFM services are provided within Incheon FIR and applied to air traffic service units, airmen and
aircraft operators and IFR aircrafts operating in Incheon FIR.
The following flow management units and/or working position is established to provide ATFM
service in Incheon FIR.
a. Air Traffic Flow Management Center (ATFMC) is permanently operated at Air Traffic Control
Center (Incheon ACC).
b. Flow Management Unit (FMU) is operated at SEOUL/JEJU approach control and INCHEON/
GIMPO/JEJU aerodrome control tower.
c. At other ATC units, each crew chief of unit is responsible for conducting the FMU service.
The hours of operation are 2200/1200 UTC daily. Beyond these hours, Incheon ACC shall
assume the function of ATFMC when following situations occur:
a. When adverse effect on air traffic flow is caused or expected due to significant weather or
abnormal situation in the airport;
b. When required to provide ATFM service by ATC units concerned.
ATFMC is located at the Incheon ACC. The ATFMC shall be contacted by the following address:

RULES AND PROCEDURES

A pilot-in-command, in other than an emergency, shall operate in controlled airspace in accord-


ance with an ATC clearance. No aircraft shall enter controlled airspace without a clearance. This
applies to both military and civil controlled airspace.
The following rules and procedures are adopted in the interest of national security to enable iden-
tification as early as possible of air traffic entering the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in
the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
No flight of any aircraft either originating in or penetrating into the ADIZ will be permitted without
Air Defense Clearance. The procedure for obtaining this clearance is as follows:
a. Flight plan to be filed 30 minutes before take-off and include ETA at ADIZ boundary and
route and altitude within ADIZ. In-flight changes for entry are not allowed except in emer-
gency.
b. Except for local flights conducted in the immediate vicinity of an aerodrome, all aircraft oper-
ating to, through or within the ADIZ shall obtain Air Defense Clearance (ADC) through the Air
Traffic Control Center.
c. ADC shall be valid for the entire flight within ADIZ irrespective of intermediate halts for flights
originating in or transiting the ADIZ.
d. For flights originating within the ADIZ, ADC shall be obtained before departure and in the
event of departure being delayed for more than 30 minutes a new ADC shall be obtained.
e. In respect of East bound flight conducted along the airways penetrating the ADIZ, aircraft
shall, on first contact with the ATCC at the FIR boundary request the ADC giving the estima-
ted time over the ADIZ boundary.
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 of airways, aircraft shall contact ATCC at least 10 minutes
before entering the ADIZ giving the ETA over the ADIZ boundary and requesting ATC.

RULES AND PROCEDURES

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.
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.

2.1 PREAMBLE
2.1.1 CASA has responsibility for all operational and safety matters relating to civil aviation into,
within and from Australian territory. The Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) within
respective divisions (Aviation and Airports and the Office of Transport Security) have responsibil-
ity for the economic regulatory functions relating to civil aviation into, within and from Australian
territory. Applications, when required, for non-scheduled aircraft operations must be submitted to
CASA and the respective divisions within the DIT.
2.1.2 All flights into, from, or over the territory of Australia, and landings in such territory shall be
carried out in accordance with the legislation of Australia regarding civil aviation.
2.1.3 In accordance with Section 10 of the Air Navigation Act, 1920, aircraft arriving in or depart-
ing from any part of Australian territory, shall land at and depart from airports designated by the
Minister for that purpose.
2.1.4 The international airports designated under Section 9 of the Air Navigation Act, 1920, for
entry and departure are as shown in paragraphs 3 and 9.
2.1.5 Aircraft which are completely cleared by the Customs and Border Protection Authorities at
a designated international airport are not required to confine their future landings within Australian
territory to airports proclaimed by the Customs and Border Protection Authorities for Customs pur-
poses. Nevertheless, such aircraft must depart from Australian territory from a designated interna-
tional airport.
2.1.6 Operators of any flights to or from Australia must separately have an approved Transport
Security Program (TSP). It is an offense under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 to oper-
ate a prescribed air service without an approval TSP. A TSP may be in force for up to five years
once approved. See Aviation Security for further information.

CONVENTION
2.2.1 An international airline of a country other than Australia shall not operate a scheduled
international air service over or into Australian territory except in accordance with an International
Airline License.
2.2.2 The requirement to hold an International Airline License does not apply to the following
categories of scheduled international air services:
a. scheduled international air services that fly over Australian territory but do not land in Aus-
tralian territory;
b. scheduled international air services that land in Australian territory but do not set down or
take on passengers or cargo for reward or hire;
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1170
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT

c. scheduled international air services operated in accordance with an agreement, between an


international airline and the holder of an international airline license, that the Secretary has
approved in writing.
2.2.3 An International Airline License shall not be granted to an international airline of a country
other than Australia unless that country and Australia are parties to the Air Transit Agreement, or
to some other agreement or arrangement, whether bilateral or multi-lateral under which scheduled
international air services of that other country may, subject to the agreement or arrangement, be
operated over or into Australian territory.
2.2.4 Applicants for an International Airline License may obtain a copy of Guidance Notes for
Applicants at: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/international/ial/index.aspx.
2.2.5 All holders of International Airline Licences are required to notify the Secretary of the
Department of Infrastructure and Transport in an approved form of any new international (sched-
uled) air service. The requirements for lodging of timetables by international airlines are set out in
Air Navigation Regulation 20 and 21 (not published herein).
2.2.6 Currently, the approved form is the airline’s normal operating timetable which should con-
tain the route to be operated by the airline both into and out of Australia, the origin, intermediate
and destination points, the times of departure to and arrival from these points, the frequency of
each service, flight numbers, aircraft type and capacity to be used on each service. Advice that
airport slot allocations have been obtained from the Australian Schedule Coordinator (see Flight
Planning, Slot Allocations) and a Compliance Declaration form (CDF) also needs to be lodged
with the timetable applications. An application for approval of a timetable must be lodged with the
Secretary not less than 35 days before the date from which the airline proposes to operate the
service in accordance with the timetable, or within such shorter period as the Secretary allows.
Should an airline wish to lodge an application in less than the 35 day period, it should provide its
reasons for wanting to do so. For practical purposes, lodgement “with the Secretary” means lodg-
ement with the General Manager of the Aviation Industry Policy Branch, DIT.
2.2.7 In addition to an Australian International Airline Licence, an operator of a proposed sched-
uled service to Australia is required to hold an Australian Foreign aircraft Air Operator’s Certificate
(FAOC) issued by the CASA.

craft that possesses the nationality of a Contracting State, means a flight by that aircraft over or
into Australian territory other than under the authority of an international airline license.
2.3.2 Where an aircraft makes a commercial non-scheduled flight into or out of Australian terri-
tory it shall have prior permission from both the DIT and the CASA. However, certain categories
of non-scheduled flights have standing DIT approvals — see ATFM Slot Allocations. Notwith-
standing these provisions all operators should note the separate requirement for prescribed air
services to hold an approved transport security plan further described in the Aviation Security sec-
tion and the Aircraft: Noise Operating Restrictions requirements.
2.3.3 DIT international freight and charter policy guidelines, and permission for flights, may be
obtained by writing to the DIT address, or by Fax to 61-2-6274 6749 or at: http://www.infrastruc-

2.10 AVIATION SECURITY


2.10.1 The Office of Transport Security (OTS) is a division of the Department of Infrastructure
and Transport and is the Australian Government’s security regulator of the Australian transport
industry and primary adviser on transport security. The OTS regulates the aviation, maritime,
supply chain (air cargo) and offshore oil and gas industries, and provides advice on international
obligations to transport security developments and the implications of those obligations for Aus-
tralian Government policies and practices.
The OTS administers regulatory authority through the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 and
Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005. Links to this legislation and further information
about the OTS is available from the Departmental website at: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au.
The OTS maintains a Transport Security Coordination Centre (TSCC) which is operational 24
hours, seven days a week. Aviation security incidents defined under the Aviation Transport Secur-
ity Act 2004 must be reported to the TSCC by email at: transport.security@infrastructure.gov.au
or by telephone to 1300 307 288 (from within Australia) or +61 2 6274 8187 (from overseas).
2.10.2 The Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 (Division 2 of Part 2) requires that all operators
of a prescribed air service operating within, to, or from Australia are required to have an approved
Transport Security Program (TSP). A prescribed air service includes an air service with a certified
maximum take-off weight greater than 5,700 kilograms and is further defined in regulation 1.06 of
the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005. It is an offense under the Aviation Transport
Security Act 2004 to operate a prescribed air service without an approved TSP.
2.10.3 International recognition of approved aviation security plans of other nations is not availa-
ble. TSP are required to comply with the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004. A TSP essentially
contains security risk information about the relevant aviation industry segment as it applies to the
full nature of the operations of the prescribed air service and articulates the security practices and
measures applicable to ensure a safe, secure, sustainable aviation transport system.
2.10.4 Under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, Transport Security Plans (TSP) remain
subject for up to a 60 day consideration period for approval; therefore, operators of prescribed air
services are advised to submit a TSP as soon as practical in order that the intended commence-
ment of air services are not unintentionally affected. Guidance for the production and lodgement
of a TSP for approval is available on the Department of Infrastructure and Transport website at:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/transport/security/aviation/tsp/index.aspx.
2.10.5 Responses to regulatory approval lodgements and enquiries occur during normal busi-
ness hours. Lodgement of regulatory approvals including TSP should be made by email to:
national.coordinator@infrastructure.gov.au.
Enquiries determining whether a TSP is required are to include:
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1179

a. whether an application has been made or approved for Flights by Foreign “State Aircraft” —
see Section 2.7.
b. if application has not been made or approved per above then the following information is
required:
(i) the legal entity name of the aircraft operator;
(ii) the name and address of the aircraft operator;
(iii) the name and address of any engaged or intended ground handling agent;
(iv) the type and capacity of the aircraft;
(v) whether the flight is a single charter or part of scheduled or unscheduled program of
flights and the period in which it is intended to operate;
(vi) the nature of the aircraft operations (purpose of flight) including if the aircraft is carrying
cargo, the type cargo;
(vii) the place/places where the flight/flights will originate;
(viii) any intermediate stopping places specifying at which places passengers or cargo
(including mail) were taken on board or discharged;
(ix) the intended date of commencement of the service/flight; and
(x) details of any wet or dry lease arrangements.
10.2.6 In accordance with Section 19 of the Air Navigation Act 1920, munitions of war or imple-
ments of war shall not be carried by an aircraft in or over Australian territory, or by an Australian
aircraft outside Australian territory, except with the permission in writing of the Secretary of the
Department of Infrastructure and Transport. Applications for transportation of munitions of war
should be lodged with the Secretary through the, Transport Security Coordination Centre at:
Department of Infrastructure and Transport, Office of Transport and Security, GPO Box 594 Can-
berra ACT 2601 or transport.security@infrastructure.gov.au.

2.11 FOREIGN CLEARANCES — AUSTRALIAN AIRCRAFT


2.11.1 Australian aircraft operators are responsible for obtaining foreign clearances when nec-
essary for overflights of, or landings in, the territory of another State.
2.11.2 Clearances for a small number of countries which do not accept direct applications from
private operators must be arranged by application through the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade.
2.11.3 Pilots are advised that their flight plans will not be considered by some countries unless
documentation of onward foreign clearance is produced.

2.12 AIRCRAFT ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS TO COMPLY WITH LAWS


2.12.1 Section 16 of the Air Navigation Act 1920, provides that “The owner, the operator, the
hirer, the pilot-in-command and any other pilot of an aircraft arriving in Australian territory from a
place outside Australian territory or departing from Australian territory for a place outside Austral-
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1180
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT

ian territory shall comply with the provisions of all applicable laws, whether of the Commonwealth
or of a State or Territory of the Commonwealth, for the time being in force, including laws relating
to the entry or clearance of passengers, crew or cargo, immigration, passports, customs and
quarantine”.

2.13 SECTION 22 OF THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT 1988


2.13.1 This section 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 provides for the regulation of
civil aircraft flying over the territory of foreign countries without authorization or for any purpose
that is inconsistent with the aims of the Chicago Convention.
2.13.2 A major requirement of this legislation is that aircraft under Australian jurisdiction shall
not be flown over the territory of a foreign country 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-command shall comply with an order to land or any
other instruction that is given by an authorized official of the foreign country.
2.13.3 The legislation provides for the pilot-in-command who is found guilty of an offence under
this legislation to be subject to severe penalty. Ancillary offenders (for example, the operator) may
be prosecuted under the Crimes Act.
2.13.4 It should be noted that 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 aeronautical authorities 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 Aus-
tralian authorities.

2.14 AIRCRAFT: NOISE OPERATING RESTRICTIONS


2.14.1 Under the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations, international and domestic aircraft
operating in Australia are required to be certified as compliant with the relevant ICAO Annex 16

2 noise certification are not permitted to operate. Operators who want to operate a Chapter 2 air-
craft must apply for permission to operate.
2.14.2 Large, marginally noise compliant (MCC3) jet aircraft are prohibited from operating at:
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin, Cairns, Gold Coast,
Newcastle (Williamtown), Essendon and Avalon airports. For a full list of potentially affected air-
craft types please contact the General Manager, Aviation Environment Branch.
2.14.3 Operators of MCC3 aircraft who want to operate at these airports must apply to the
Department of Infrastructure and Transport for a (noise) permission to operate.
2.14.4 Aircraft owners and pilots requiring information about aircraft noise operating restrictions
or the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations should contact:

5 TORRES STRAIT QUARANTINE REQUIREMENTS
5.1 There are a number of pests and diseases present in the Torres Strait and nearby Papua
New Guinea that are not found on mainland Australia. Consequently, quarantine legislation gov-
erns the movement of certain goods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and meat products,
live plants, seeds and plant materials, live animals, hides, skins, animal material and soil, south
from the “Torres Strait Protected Zone” (northern islands) to the “Special Quarantine Zone”
(Thursday Island group), or from either of these two zones to the mainland.
5.2 Movement of these goods is restricted unless authorized by an Australian Quarantine and
Inspection Service (AQIS) officer.
5.3 In addition, pilots should ensure that aircraft transiting south from either of these zones have
been suitably disinsected.
5.4 Pilots must also ensure that they notify AQIS if they intend to depart the Torres Strait for
mainland areas. This can be done either 30 minutes prior to departure from the Torres Strait, or at
least 30 minutes prior to arrival on the mainland. Once notification is received, a “notification
number” will be issued by AQIS, which all pilots should record for future auditing purposes. Pilots
wishing to advise AQIS of arrival should contact Cairns airport on 07 4030 7886. After Hours, call
0417 749 256. Further information call AQIS Cairns: 07 4030 7800.

5.2.4 Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) Biosecurity
Requirements
Detailed information about DAFF Biosecurity requirements for overseas aircraft can be found in
the “Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) Guidelines for Airline and Aircraft Oper-
ators Arriving in Australia” document that can be found on the DAFF Biosecurity website at: http://
www.daff.gov.au/aqis/avm/aircraft/guidelines-operators.
5.2.4.1 The pilot in command of an aircraft landing at a designated international airport which is
the first airport of call in Australia must furnish one copy of the General Declaration signed by
him/her to the agencies.
5.2.4.2 All aircraft are required to meet Australia’s disinsection requirement. The Commander of
an overseas aircraft (or, if the Commander is not the operator of the aircraft, the operator of the
aircraft) will make arrangements for the disinsection of the aircraft in a manner, and within a time,
approved by a Director of Quarantine.
The following disinsection options are available to airline operators to meet Australia’s cabin and
hold disinsection requirements —

Cabin Hold
Residual Residual
Pre-embarkation Pre-flight
Pre-flight and Top of Descent Pre-flight
On-arrival On-arrival

Disinsection Compliance Agreements with either DAFF Biosecurity or Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry Biosecurity New Zealand (MAFBNZ) are required for the residual or pre-embarkation
option.
Refer to the AQIS/MAFBNZ Schedule of Aircraft Disinsection Procedures on the DAFF Biosecur-
ity website for more information on disinsection.
5.2.4.3 Pre-arrival Reporting Requirements. Prior to arrival at a first port of call in Australia, the
Commander of an international aircraft will advise DAFF Biosecurity of the following:
a. Any person onboard the aircraft who has died during the flight or is suffering from an illness;
b. If a person with a prescribed symptom (see below) is on board the aircraft during the flight;
c. If the arrangements for disinsection of the aircraft have not been complied with in the manner
approved by a Director of Quarantine;
d. If any live animal is on board the aircraft;
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1188
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

e. If any animal died during the flight;


f. (For non--scheduled flights), the identity of the aircraft, the place in Australia, Christmas
Island or the Cocos Islands where the aircraft is to arrive and its estimated time of arrival.
This information will be provided as close to top of descent as is operationally practicable, but in
any case at least 30 minutes before the aircraft is on chocks (Under certain circumstances DAFF
Biosecurity may notify the Commander of the aircraft that the information is to be given at a differ-
ent time.)
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 practica-
ble.
Any contaminants on the aircraft from dead or sick people must be cleaned or disinfected 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.
The prescribed symptoms which will be reported are:
a. a temperature over 38°C
b. acute unexplained skin rashes or lesions, and rashes or lesions caused by illness or expo-
sure to hazardous agents (but not heat rashes, dermatitis, eczema or similar common skin
conditions)
c. persistent or severe vomiting (but not vomiting caused by inebriation or motion sickness);
d. persistent, watery or profuse diarrhea;
e. bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, anus or skin (but not if the subject is predisposed
to nosebleeds or hemorrhoids, or has cuts or abrasions);
f. glandular swelling in the armpits or neck;
g. prolonged loss of consciousness, if the subject cannot be roused (but not loss of conscious-
ness caused by consumption of alcohol, drugs or medications, fainting or sleeping);
h. persistent coughing and difficulty breathing with no apparent cause and no history of similar
symptoms (but not persistent coughing and difficulty breathing caused by asthma, heart dis-
ease, obesity, chronic bronchitis or emphysema);
i. in the case of a person with restricted mobility or an otherwise healthy young child — an
inability to disembark from a vessel without assistance.
5.2.4.4 Pratique is the determination of the health status of passengers and crew of an overseas
vessel arriving at an approved landing place in Australia and the subsequent granting of permis-
sion to disembark. Aircraft entering Australia operate under a system of automatic pratique. Under
this system permission to disembark is automatically granted, unless any of the following applies:
– prior to arrival the Commander has reported the presence of one of the circumstances descri-
bed above in para 5.2.4.3 a to i;
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1189
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

– the Director of Human Quarantine has given a direction, before the aircraft arrives, that pra-
tique is not taken to have been granted; or
– a DAFF biosecurity officer advises the Commander of the aircraft, before or after the aircraft
arrives but before disembarkation of passengers, that he or she is not satisfied that the aircraft
is free from infection.
Any aircraft not entering under automatic pratique will be met on arrival by a DAFF biosecurity
officer. All passengers and crew must remain onboard until pratique is granted by this officer.
When the DAFF biosecurity officer is satisfied that there are no further biosecurity issues, they will
verbally grant pratique and advise that disembarkation and the unloading of baggage and cargo
may commence. A Certificate of Pratique will then be provided to the airline, usually by faxing it to
the ground handling agent. All Non-Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) will be met on arrival by
a DAFF biosecurity officer.
5.2.4.5 Quarantine in-flight Announcement. Prior to arrival in Australia, Commanders of all inter-
national aircraft will provide an in-flight announcement to all passengers travelling (including crew)
which outlines Australia’s biosecurity requirements. A video/DVD, in a number of formats and lan-
guages is available from the DAFF Biosecurity Passengers and Mail Branch in Canberra. If the
video/DVD cannot be shown, Commanders need to ensure that their crew make a verbal
announcement on flights prior to arrival in Australia.
5.2.4.6 All persons (passengers and crew) arriving in Australia must have the following docu-
ments ready for examination by a DAFF biosecurity officer:
a. An Immigration Incoming Passenger Card (although this is an Immigration document, it may
facilitate health clearances).
b. International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever (if in the last six days they have
visited a yellow fever declared country).
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 it
and is determined to be advisable, the person may either be isolated in a biosecurity facility at the
expense of the airline or released with restrictions, under DAFF biosecurity surveillance.
5.2.4.8 Passengers and crew will pass from the aircraft to the Customs Entry Control Point
where the absence of disease, vaccination certificates and (for those disembarking in Australia)
the intended addresses in Australia will be assessed.
5.2.4.9 Persons with unsatisfactory documents or for whom further investigation, medical or oth-
erwise, is required, will be diverted immediately to a waiting room for any necessary action after
all others have been cleared.
5.2.4.10 The importation into Australia by air of the following is prohibited:
a. all animals (including birds and reptiles) unless an import permit accompanies the animals
(The only exception to this prohibition is the importation of dogs, cats and horses from New
Zealand where each animal should have approved health certification);
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1190
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

b. cultures of micro-organisms capable of causing human disease and goods of biological


origin which may contain such micro-organisms, unless an import permit accompanies the
cultures or goods;
c. foodstuffs of animal origin, including meat, poultry, sausages, eggs, cheese and milk, unless
as commercial consignments accompanied by such certification as prescribed in the Quar-
antine Proclamations 1998;
d. in the case of aircraft from New Zealand only, exemptions apply to the importation of some
species of animals and to the importation of some animal products provided that the air
movements of the animals or animal products concerned, from New Zealand to Australia,
conforms to Australia’s conditions of importation, including, in certain cases, prior disinsec-
tion of the transporting aircraft.
NOTE: Any prohibited item taken to Australia by air without special permit will be seized and
destroyed.
5.2.4.11 Australia is still free from many plant diseases, insect pests and weeds which cause
serious damage to crops in other parts of the world. The cooperation of all air crews and passen-
gers is sought in preserving this advantage.
5.2.4.12 No plant material of any kind, including fruits, nuts, seeds, bulbs, tubers or cuttings,
should be taken to Australia by air, unless approval for its importation has first been obtained from
the Australian Department of Primary Industries and Energy, Canberra, or from the Chief Quaran-
tine Officer (Plants) of the relevant State Departments of Agriculture. The importation of some
types of plants is prohibited and any such found at the airport of arrival will be destroyed. Other
prohibited importations include straw packing (including rice hulls), soil samples (unless with prior
approval) and cartons or containers which have previously contained fruit or other plant materials.
5.2.4.13 Cognizance should be taken that most of the best varieties of all crops and ornamen-
tals, selected and adapted for Australia, are already available in country. Other new and better
varieties will be imported, under strict DAFF biosecurity control, as the need arises.
5.2.4.14 Although Australia has no vaccination requirements for departure, travellers will have to
satisfy the requirements of countries to, or through which, they travel. Travellers should, therefore,
consult the airline, a reputable travel medicine organization, or the official representatives of the
countries concerned regarding the necessity for vaccinations.

5.3 IMMIGRATION/EMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS


5.3.1 General
5.3.1.1 Information in this section is based on the Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regula-
tions 1994. Since the information can change over time the Department of Immigration and Citi-
zenship (DIAC) strongly recommends that anyone proposing to travel to Australia contact airlines,
travel agents or Australian missions overseas or visit www.immi.gov.au to ensure travel documen-
tation and visa requirements are met.
5.3.1.2 Airline operators should ensure that their staff are fully aware of Australia’s immigration
requirements. The Travel Information Manual (TIM) provides a regularly updated, ready-reference
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1191
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW

for information on Australia’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 offence against section
229(1) of the Migration Act 1958 unless the non-citizen when entering Australia:

d. is eligible for a special category visa (see para 5.4.4.2d.); or
e. is a permanent non-citizen resident of Norfolk who holds a passport issued with authority to
reside in Norfolk Island (see para 5.4.4.2e.)
5.3.1.3 A person who is guilty of an offence against section 229(1) of the Migration Act is liable,
upon conviction, to a fine not exceeding AU$10,000. In lieu of prosecution, infringing airlines may
pay a penalty of AU$5000.
5.3.2 Advance Passenger Processing (APP) reporting of passengers and crew
5.3.2.1 Airlines flying into Australia who provide a ‘regular international passenger air service’
are required to report all inbound passengers and crew, including all transit passengers, to Immi-
gration though the electronic APP system. The information is collected at check-in through the
APP system and transmitted to Australia for use by border agencies prior to the arrival of the air-
craft. Airlines seeking detailed information concerning the legislative and system requirements
can contact Immigration at: appwebsite@immi.gov.au.
5.3.3 Inwards Clearance — Passports or Other Travel Documents
5.3.3.1 All persons seeking to enter or re-enter Australia whether for temporary or permanent
residence, must identify themselves. In the case of non-citizens, they must hold or be eligible for a
visa. Passports are the most common and preferred type of travel document for identification pur-
poses. A valid passport is required for travel to Australia from all overseas destinations including
Norfolk Island.
5.3.3.2 Some countries still issue family group passports which may cover, for example, a hus-
band and/or wife and children of two or more siblings. For entry control purposes, Australia
accepts dependents on such passports only when accompanied by the principal holder.
5.3.3.3 Passports are not required for holders of the following:
a. Certificates of Identity, Documents of Identity, “Documents for Travel to Australia” issued by
Australian authorities.
b. Documents of Identity issued by a country other than Australia. (Documents must have a
photograph of the bearer and re-entry authority to the country of issue.)

6 TRANSIT PASSENGERS — CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS


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 or Outgoing Passenger Cards. This concession applies irrespective of whether the pas-
sengers are transiting on the same aircraft or whether, at the Australian airport, a different aircraft
is substituted for the remainder of the flight. Direct transit passengers will need to hold an appro-
priate visa unless they meet requirements in paragraph 5.4.4.2, in which case they will be taken
to hold a special purpose visa.
6.1.2 Passengers disembarking in Australia (i.e., leaving the transit area) from such a through-
flight must present travel documents, visas, Incoming Passenger Cards and airline tickets evi-
dencing confirmed onward booking to a third country and passports.
6.1.3 Passengers joining a through-flight in Australia for carriage beyond Australia must present
Outgoing Passenger Cards, airline tickets, boarding passes and passports/travel documents.
6.1.4 Operators should note that a “through-flight” in this context is as defined in Chapter 1 –
Definitions and Applicability, of ICAO Annex 9 (Facilitation) to the Convention on International
Civil Aviation, viz:
“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.”
6.1.4.1 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 Where international passengers leave the transit area and transfer to another international
flight at the same airport, Incoming Passenger Cards, and passport/travel documents and visas
(unless within the exempt categories; see paragraphs 5.4.4.2 c. and 5.4.5.1) are required to be
presented.
6.1.6 Passengers referred to in paragraph 6.1.5 (above), who are rejoining flights, are required
to present Outgoing Passenger Cards, airline tickets, boarding passes and passports/travel docu-
ments.

6.2 CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS


6.2.1 Transit Passengers Proceeding on the Same Aircraft
6.2.1.1 Such passengers are not required to make a customs declaration provided they do not
pass through a customs control point.
6.2.1.2 Personal hand baggage is to be interpreted as covering only normal personal requisites
needed by the passenger for the period of the stopover. Such baggage, however, is liable to
inspection.

from the following approved international airports:

Adelaide Darwin Perth


Brisbane Gold Coast Sydney
Cairns Melbourne

8.1.2 Arrival / Departure at Non-International Airports, and Restricted Use


International Airports
8.1.2.1 As there is no full-time border agency presence at non-international airports, or at
Restricted Use International Airports (other than Gold Coast), air operators are required to obtain
prior approval from the NPPC for flights into and out of these airports. Air operators should
comply with the following procedures to enable timely consideration of border agency approval
and clearances.
a. Submit written application. Give at least ten (10) business days notification to the following
address prior to the arrival of the charter:

Fax: 61-2-6275 6989

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 (IAL), deliver, e-mail or fax, a listing of passengers and crew to
the Customs and Border Protection 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 IAL, the
operator should provide passenger and crew data through the Advance Passenger Process-
ing (APP) system at check-in. For further information on using APP, contact the Department
of Immigration and Citizenship. For departures, deliver, e-mail or fax, similar API data to the

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 Customs and
Border Protection, DAFF Biosecurity, and Immigration after completion of the charter opera-
tion.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1224
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

SECTION 10
10.1 CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
The cargo report is used to report the particulars of all goods (including mail, in-transit and tran-
shipment cargo) that a cargo reporter has arranged to be carried to Australia and that are inten-
ded to be offloaded in Australia. The cargo report is also used to report goods that a cargo
reporter has arranged to be carried on a ship or aircraft and that will be kept on board the ship or
aircraft.
The carrier (airline) is required, as the first cargo reporter, to report to Customs and Border Pro-
tection the full detail of cargo for which they are directly responsible. They are also required to
notify Customs and Border Protection of any cargo carried on behalf of another cargo reporter.
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.
When an aircraft has arrived at an airport in Australia, the operator must report to Customs and
Border Protection, the particulars of the aircraft’s stores and of any prohibited goods contained in
those stores at the time of arrival. The report of aircraft stores and prohibited goods must be
made within three (3) hours of the arrival of the aircraft or before the certificate of clearance is
issued, whichever happens first.
Import declarations are used to clear goods with a value exceeding A$1000 from Customs con-
trol. Import declarations are communicated to Customs and Border Protection electronically via
the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) or by lodgement of a completed import declaration form
(B650) at a Customs and Border Protection counter.
A self-assessed clearance (SAC) declaration must be made for imported goods valued at or
below A$1000.
All air cargo consignments of diplomatic and consular goods require a cargo report and, if valued
above A$1000 an import declaration must be submitted to Customs and Border Protection. All
diplomatic and consular goods are exempt Customs and Border Protection duty and taxes and
cost recovery charges provided the goods meet all Customs and Border Protection and DAFF
Biosecurity legislative requirements including the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations and
DAFF Biosecurity Regulations. The B615 form must be provided to Customs and Border Protec-
tion for the release of privileged imports from Customs control. Diplomatic/Consular Mail/Pouch/
Bags do not require an import declaration.
All transhipment cargo must be reported on a cargo report, lodged electronically in the ICS at
least two (2) hours prior to the estimated time of arrival of the aircraft. When a cargo report is sub-
mitted showing the cargo has a discharge port as an Australian 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 transhipment status and will automatically generate a
Transhipment Number. A Transhipment Number is a valid Customs Authority (CAN) for the pur-
poses of export and must be quoted in an export manifest.
Departure Report — The departure report is a prerequisite that must be satisfied before a certifi-
cate of clearance can be granted by Customs and Border Protection. A departure report is a
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1225
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO

statement made by the pilot or owner of the aircraft, or an agent, to Customs and Border Protec-
tion providing information concerning the proposed date and time of departure of the aircraft. The
departure report must be lodged electronically in the ICS.
Outwards Manifest — The pilot or owner of the aircraft must communicate electronically, in the
ICS, to Customs and Border Protection, not later than three (3) days after the day of departure of
the aircraft, an outwards manifest. The outwards manifest must specify all goods that were loaded
on board the aircraft.
Air cargo being exported from Australia must be reported to Customs and Border Protection by
the pilot or owner of the aircraft in the form of an outward manifest. This is normally done in elec-
tronic form using the Customs and Border Protection ICS, or in manual formats. If the format is
manual, one copy is required.
10.1.11 The exporter must lodge an export entry with Customs and Border Protection and
obtain a “clear” export declaration number (EDN) before the cargo may be loaded for export.
10.1.12 A Main Manifest Number (MMN) is supplied by Customs and Border Protection.

10.2 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FORESTRY
BIOSECURITY (DAFF BIOSECURITY) REQUIREMENTS
Imported air cargo of biosecurity interest (fruit and vegetables, live plant, animal, avian and
aquatic species or commodities derived from these products) must be reported via the Australian
Customs and Border Protection Service ICS System.
Import Permits, sanitary certificates or related documents are required for imported cargo of bio-
security interest.
10.2.3 Transport and packaging requirements for live animal, avian and aquatic species are
specified in the International Air Transport Association - Live Animal Regulations.
A Quarantine Entry is required to be lodged for each imported consignment of biosecurity interest
prior to release of cargo.
No clearance documents are required with respect to goods of biosecurity interest being trans-
shipped.
Importers should note that all biosecurity inspections, permits or entries carry a government
charge.

the charge. To establish an Arrangement, contact Customs by email: pmccentraloffice@cus-

ant aircraft, Customs officers will collect the charge and issue a receipt at time of departure clear-
ance.

12 AIRCRAFT CHARGES
12.1 INTRODUCTION
12.1.1 Airservices Australia is responsible for the provision of airways facilities and services in
Australia. The provision of airways facilities and services is managed on a commercial basis and
Airservices levies flight-based charges to recover the cost associated with the provision of these
facilities and services from aircraft operators.

AERODROMES AND AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES CHARGES

12.1.2 The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Govern-
ment (DITRDLG) 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 responsi-
ble for the provision of aviation weather services and recovers the cost of these services from air-
craft operators. To avoid duplication of administration and to assist customers in making pay-
ments, a single monthly invoice and/or statement covering Airservices’ charges, BoM charges
and the Commonwealth Noise Levy is issued.
12.1.3 This document sets out the basis on which charges are imposed. It also includes other
related information which aims to assist customers in understanding the charging arrangements.
Airway charges are administered in accordance with the legislation. This advice should be used
by customers as a guide only. Details on unit rates of charge and other information are contained
in the booklet entitled “Charges for Facilities and Services Standard Contract Terms” which can
be obtained by contacting the Financial Services Centre, Airservices Australia.

12.2 CHARGING SYSTEM


12.2.1 Aviation Charges
a. apply to all flights by an aircraft, both domestic (within an Australian flight information region)
and international (to and from an Australian flight information region) except:
1. flights that are notified as maintenance or test flights; and
2. operational missed approaches; and
b. include a discount at specified aerodromes for circuit training.
12.2.2 The charges are calculated on each tonne of the maximum take-off weight as set out in
the flight manual of the aircraft, with any part of a tonne charged on a pro-rata basis.
12.2.3 The following types of charge may be applicable:
a. Terminal navigation charge — covers aerodrome control, approach control and terminal nav-
igation aids;
b. Rescue and fire fighting charges — applies to aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 2.5
tons or greater;
c. Enroute charges — applies if all or any part of a flight operates under the IFR.

12.3 DIT AND BoM CHARGES


12.3.1 Details on how the Meteorological Service Charge and the Noise Levy Charge are
applied may be obtained form the Financial Services Centre, Airservices Australia.

a. give the operator 14 days notice of their intention to withhold services (with a copy to the
Civil Aviation Safety Authority); and
b. withhold those services after that time, having regard to air navigation safety.

12.5 LIABILITY FOR CHARGES


12.5.1 The liability for charges lies with the Certificate of Registration (COR) holder of the air-
craft which incurs the charges, but mechanisms exist to transfer this liability to a third party where
this is more appropriate.

12.6 ASSIGNMENT OF LIABILITY


12.6.1 The buyer and seller of an aircraft should complete an Assignment of Liability of charges
payable in respect of the aircraft from the date of delivery of the aircraft to the buyer.
12.6.2 The charges payable in respect of an aircraft on hire or lease for more than 30 days may
be assigned to the hirer or lessee.
12.6.3 A form of Assignment of Liability is available from the Financial Services Centre, Airservi-
ces Australia.
12.6.4 Notwithstanding, the Financial Services Centre having accepted an Assignment of Liabil-
ity, the holder of the COR for the aircraft continues to be liable for the charges in respect of the
aircraft.

13 ADMINISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT CHARGES


13.1 FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTRE
13.1.1 The Financial Services Centre administers the charging arrangements for Airservices
Australia’s airways, rescue and fire fighting charges, BoM meteorological charges and DIT Noise
Levy charges. The Centre is responsible for:

13.2 INVOICES
13.2.1 Invoices are issued for each aircraft and show charges for flights undertaken in the pre-
ceding calendar month as well as flights from earlier months which, for any reason, have not
already been invoiced.
13.2.2 To reduce administrative costs, an invoice for an aircraft will normally be issued only
when the total value of flights to be invoiced exceed $55, or at least quarterly.
13.2.3 If requested by an aircraft operator, this administrative arrangement can be modified for
aircraft where monthly invoicing is required irrespective of the value of the invoices.

13.3 STATEMENTS
13.3.1 Statements are issued when an invoice has been generated or there are outstanding
charges. The statement will contain an amount brought forward (if there are outstanding charges
and/or interest from previous periods) and the total charges accrued in the current billing period.
Any receipts and/or interest since the previous statement will also be shown along with any
adjustments and a reference to the nature of that adjustment.

13.4 DISPUTED ACCOUNTS


13.4.1 Where a particular item on an invoice is disputed by the debtor, a note should accom-
pany the remittance identifying the disputed items and reason for dispute. The full amount of the
invoice should be paid while the dispute is being resolved as this will prevent interest accruing on
the unpaid amounts in the event that the dispute is resolved in favour of Airservices/BoM/DIT. In
the event that the dispute is resolved in favour of the debtor, a credit adjustment will be made
which will appear on the next statement and a credit note or refund issued.

NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

PASSPORT AND VISA


All persons seeking to enter or re-enter Australia, whether for temporary or permanent residence,
must identify themselves. In the case of non-citizens, they must hold or be eligible for a visa.
Passports are the most common and preferred type of travel document for identification purposes.
A valid passport is required for travel to Australia from all overseas destinations including Norfolk
Island.
Some countries still issue family group passports which may cover, for example, a husband
and/or wife and children of two or more siblings. For entry control purposes, Australia accepts
dependents on such passports only when accompanied by the principle holder.
Passengers traveling on domestic sectors of international flights within Australia must carry pass-
ports or other acceptable forms of photo-identification.

VISA REQUIREMENTS
All non-citizens are required to have a visa for entry to Australia. The Australian Government
strongly recommends that all passengers proposing to travel to Australia contact airlines, travel
agents or Australian missions overseas to ensure travel document and visa requirements are met.
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. Visa types are identified as follows:
a. There are two types of visas: temporary and permanent. The majority of visas granted will
not be evidenced by a stick-in visa label. Existence of a visa should be verified by airlines at
check-in via Advance Passenger Processing (APP) system.
b. Where capable, airlines may issue Electronic Travel Authorities (ETAs) for tourist or short
term business travel to bearers of passports issued by the following countries:

(Facilitation) of the Chicago Convention. The DIT is responsible for coordinating with the other
Australian agencies that are charged with the development and implementation of policy on pas-
senger and cargo processing at Australian airports.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has responsibility for all operational and safety matters
relating to civil aviation into, within and from Australian territory. DIT has responsibility for the eco-
nomic regulatory functions relating to civil aviation into, within and from Australian territory. Appli-
cations, when required, for non-scheduled aircraft operations must be submitted to DIT and

All flights into, from or over the territory of Australia, and landings in such territory, shall be carried
out in accordance with the legislation of Australia regarding civil aviation. In accordance with Sec-
tion 10 of the Air Navigation Act 1920, aircraft arriving in or departing from any part of Australian
territory must land at and depart from airports designated by the Minister for that purpose.
Aircraft which are completely cleared by the Customs and Border Protection Authorities at a des-
ignated international airport are not required to confine their future landings within Australian terri-
tory to airports proclaimed by the Customs and Border Protection Authorities for Customs purpo-
ses. Nevertheless, such aircraft must depart from Australian territory from a designated interna-
tional airport.
Operators of any flights to or from Australia must separately have an approved Transport Security
Program (TSP). It is an offence under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 to operate a pre-
scribed air service without an approved TSP. A TSP may be in force for up to five years once
approved. See AVIATION SECURITY for further information.

SCHEDULED INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL SERVICES BY FOREIGN AIRCRAFT


OF CONTRACTING STATES TO THE CHICAGO CONVENTION
An international airline of a country other than Australia must not operate a scheduled interna-
tional air service over or into Australian territory except in accordance with an International Airline
License.
The requirement to hold an International Airline License does not apply to the following categories
of scheduled international air services:
a. scheduled international air services that fly over Australian territory but do not land in Aus-
tralian territory;
b. scheduled international air services that land in Australian territory but do not set down or
take on passengers or cargo for reward or hire;
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1238
AUSTRALIA
NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

c. scheduled international air services operated in accordance with an agreement, between an


international airline and the holder of an international airline license, that the Secretary has
approved in writing.
An International Airline License shall not be granted to an international airline of a country other
than Australia unless that country and Australia are parties to the Air Transit Agreement, or to
some other agreement or arrangement, whether bilateral or multi-lateral, under which scheduled
international air services of that other country may, subject to the agreement or arrangement, be
operated over or into Australian territory.
Applicants for International Airline Licences may obtain a copy of Guidance Notes for Applicants
at: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/international/ial/index.aspx.
All holders of International Airline Licences are required to notify the Secretary to the Department
of Infrastructure and Transport in an approved form of any new international (scheduled) air serv-
ice. The requirements for lodging of timetables by international airlines are set out in Air Naviga-
tion Regulation 20 and 21 (not published herein).
Currently, the approved form is the airline’s normal operating timetable which should contain the
route to be operated by the airline both into and out of Australia, the origin, intermediate and des-
tination points, the times of departure to and arrival from these points, the frequency of each serv-
ice, flight numbers, aircraft type, and capacity to be used on each service. Advice that airport slot
allocations have been obtained from the Australian Schedule Coordinator also needs to be lodged
with the timetable applications. An application for approval of a timetable must be lodged with the
Secretary not less than 35 days before the date from which the airline proposes to operate the
service in accordance with the timetable, or within such shorter period as the Secretary allows.
Should an airline wish to lodge an application in less than the 35 day period, it should provide its
reasons for wanting to do so. For practical purposes, lodgement “with the Secretary” means lodg-
ement with the General Manager of the Aviation Industry Policy Branch.
In addition to an Australian International Airline Licence, an operator of a proposed scheduled
service to Australia is required to hold an Australian Foreign Air Operator’s Certificate (FAOC)
issued by CASA.
Application forms for FAOCs are available from CASA, address and telephone numbers listed in
the previous section.
In addition to the requirements to obtain an International Airline Licence and FAOC, all aircraft
operators should note the separate requirement for transport security plan approval in AVIATION
SECURITY and the aircraft noise certification requirements in AIRCRAFT: NOISE OPERATING
RESTRICTIONS.

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.

a. landings at designated alternate airports to international airports;
b. landings at designated Customs Airports;
c. landings which are made as a result of an emergency, at other than a designated alternate
or Customs airport.
Landings Made at Designated Alternates to International Airports
At present there are no designated alternate airports to international airports in Solomon Islands.
However, landings can be made at Customs Airports within the operational limit of the aircraft.
When a landing is made by an international aircraft at an airport in Solomon Islands other than at
the international airport at which the landing was scheduled to take place, the operator must
advise Honiara F.I.C. by radio that such a landing is to take place. Honiara F.I.C. will notify the
Health, Immigration and Customs Authorities at the airport at which the landing of the aircraft was
scheduled to take place, and at the airport to which the aircraft is proceeding, providing communi-
cations can be established with these airports. In the event that Honiara F.I.C. cannot establish
communications prior to the landing of the aircraft, it is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command
to report his arrival to the relevant Authorities, so that the requisite clearance procedures may be
effected.
Landing at Graciosa Bay/Gizo, Munda and Ballalae
On receipt of reasonable notice, Customs and Immigration clearance facilities are available.
Landing Made Elsewhere Than at Designated Alternate Airports
If a landing is made elsewhere than at an international airport or designated alternate airport, the
pilot-in-command shall report the landing as soon as practicable to the Health, Customs, and
Immigration Authorities at the international airport at which the landing was scheduled to take
place. This information may be passed through the Search, Aviation and Meteorological Network
(SAM) or by radio telephone to the Honiara F.I.C. for relay to the appropriate authorities.

c. any food stuffs or plant material of overseas origin are not removed from the aircraft except
where local food is unobtainable. All food, refuse etc., must be collected and returned to the
galley refuse container, the contents of which should not be removed from the aircraft except
for reasons of hygiene, in which case they must be destroyed by burning or deep burial.
Health, Customs and Immigration authorities will determine the arrangements to be completed for
clearing the aircraft and will communicate necessary coordinated instructions to the pilot-in-com-
mand through ATS or SAM channels, or if these channels of communication are not available, by
some other means.
The pilot-in-command while waiting for the instructions from Health, Customs and Immigration, or

FOREIGN CIVIL AIRCRAFT, SCHEDULED FLIGHTS


International airlines serving Vanuatu on a scheduled basis are required to hold an International
Air Services Licence or an Open Aviation Market Licence. The CAAV is the licensing authority for
foreign international airlines. Part 10 of the Civil Aviation Act No. 16 of 1999 and CAR Part 129
detail the provisions under which a scheduled international air service by a foreign operator to,
from, or in transit through Vanuatu is required to operate.

FOREIGN CIVIL AIRCRAFT, NON-SCHEDULED FLIGHTS


Non-scheduled flights are all international flights other than scheduled air services, and include
charter, ferry, medevac/retrieval, and private flights.
Under Part 10 of the Civil Aviation Act No. 16 of 1999, commercial non-scheduled flights (non-
scheduled flights engaged in the carriage of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire
between Vanuatu and any other country or territory, but excluding medical-related flights), may be
operated only as authorized by the CAAV and in accordance with such conditions as the CAAV
may impose.
Operators of civil aircraft registered in states party to the Convention on International Civil Avia-
tion desiring to make non-scheduled flights in transit across Vanuatu or to land in Vanuatu for
non-commercial purposes are required to get flight approval from Airports Vanuatu Limited.
An international flight plan will not be accepted as adequate notice. Aircraft arriving outside pub-
lished opening hours at a Customs airport will be charged for attendance by officers at the pre-
scribed regulated hourly rate and for any associated expenses.
Applications for non-scheduled commercial flights, which must be from the operator (not the char-
terer), may be made directly to Airports Vanuatu Limited. If, however, the aircraft is not registered
in a state party to the ICAO Convention, the application should be submitted through the aviation
authority of the State of Registry.
For preliminary inquiries, particularly in relation to a series of flights, operators and/or charterers
should contact Airports Vanuatu Limited.

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.

3.2.1 Squawk 7600 and listen out on ATIS and/or voice modulated navaids. Transmit intentions
and normal position reports. Assume transmitter is operating and prefix calls with “TRANSMIT-
TING BLIND”.
3.2.2 If in VMC and certain of maintaining VMC, remain in VMC and land at the most suitable
aerodrome. Report arrival to ATS.
3.2.3 If in IMC or uncertain of maintaining VMC:
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 aids, the air traffic/airspace situation and
meteorological conditions enroute and at the destination;
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.
NOTE: It is not possible to publish procedures that cover all radio failure circumstances. The
following 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.
3.2.4 Initial Actions
3.2.4.1 If no clearance limit has been received and acknowledged, proceed in accordance with
the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged and climb to the planned level.
3.2.4.2 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 minutes: and/or
b. hold at nominated location for three minutes; then
c. proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged and climb to plan-
ned level.
3.2.4.3 If being vectored:
a. maintain last assigned vector for two minutes; and
b. climb, if necessary, to minimum safe altitude; then

Descend to the initial approach altitude for the most suitable approach aid in accordance with
published procedures.
3.2.5.3 Carry out the approach to the prescribed circling minima.
NOTE:
a. The most suitable approach aid is normally the destination primary tracking aid; however,
when the primary tracking aid has no approach procedure or the pilot is in receipt of ATIS or
directed information (e.g., voice modulated navigation aid) that another destination aid is
required for the approach, that aid may be used.
b. If an approach time has been given by ATC and acknowledged, adhere to that time.
c. When within 25 miles of the destination, the pilot may track direct to the most suitable
approach aid.
3.2.6 Actions at Minima
3.2.6.1 If visual at circling minima, circle to land. However, at a controlled aerodrome, if in
receipt of directed aerodrome information and/or a landing clearance (e.g., a green light or
through a voice modulated navigation aid, etc.) the pilot may continue a runway approach.
3.2.6.2 If not visual at circling minima, depart for a suitable alternate aerodrome. However, if in
receipt of directed aerodrome information indicating that a runway approach is available and the
runway is available for landing, the pilot may continue descent to the appropriate minima and, if
visual, land. Otherwise depart for a suitable alternate aerodrome.
3.2.6.3 If insufficient fuel is carried to divert to a suitable alternate, the pilot may hold or carry out
additional approaches until visual.

INTERCEPTION

1 INTERCEPTION PROCEDURES
1.1 IDENTIFICATION
1.1.1 Aircraft which cannot be satisfactorily identified may be intercepted by fighter aircraft,
unless exempted in accordance with the following:
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 Defense
Commander.
1.1.2 If any doubt arises as to the friendly intention of an aircraft, closer identification may be
necessary, in which case the identifying aircraft will maintain visual observation of the intercepted
aircraft, and:
a. approach at the same level from astern on a parallel course to the left of the aircraft to be
identified, with a minimum lateral displacement of 1000 FT or 300m;
b. if strictly necessary for identification, move closer while maintaining a generally parallel
course but never closer than 200m;
c. if identified as friendly, make the appropriate signal to proceed from a position slightly ahead,
by a climbing turn of 90° to port away from the intercepted aircraft, if permissible, considering
other air traffic.
1.1.4 Aircraft identified by intercept as:
a. Friendly — should then proceed according to flight plan and/or ATC instructions;
b. Unknown — should be prepared to be shadowed, diverted or instructed to land at a suitable
airfield;
c. Hostile — aircraft positively identified as “Hostile” may be engaged and destroyed.

1.2 ACTION BY INTERCEPTED AIRCRAFT


1.2.1 An aircraft which is intercepted by another aircraft must immediately:
a. follow the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft, interpreting and responding to visual
signals in accordance with paragraph 1.3;
b. notify, if possible, the appropriate ATS unit;
c. attempt to establish radio communication with the intercepting aircraft, or with the appropri-
ate intercept control unit, by making a general call on the emergency VHF frequency 121.5
MHz and repeating this call on the emergency VHF frequency 243 MHz, if practicable, giving
the identity and position of the aircraft and nature of the flight;
d. if equipped with SSR transponder, select code 7700, unless otherwise instructed by the
appropriate ATS unit.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1413

e. if equipped with ADS-B or ADS-C, select the appropriate emergency functionality, if availa-
ble, unless otherwise instructed by the appropriate air traffic services unit.
1.2.2 If any instructions received by radio from any sources conflict with those given by the inter-
cepting aircraft by visual or radio signals, the intercepted aircraft shall request immediate clarifica-
tion while continuing to comply with the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft.

RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING SERVICES

1 GENERAL
1.1 Rescue and Fire Fighting (RFF) services are provided at certain aerodromes according to
the type of aircraft normally using that aerodrome and the frequency of aircraft operations.

2 AERODROME CATEGORY
2.1 RFF facilities are allocated a category from 1 to 9 as listed in the AIRPORT DIRECTORY.

3 HOURS OF SERVICE
3.1 Information regarding the hours of service of RFF is available from all ATS units.

4 COMMUNICATIONS
4.1 ARFF EMERGENCY FREQUENCY
4.1.1 To enhance the safe management of emergency situations involving aircraft, a national
ARFF Emergency Frequency (131.0 MHz) is available for direct communication between the Fire
Commander and affected flight crew during an airport emergency. ATC must be advised of an
intention to operate on the frequency.
4.1.2 All communication with ATC during an airport emergency must be conducted on the
normal ATC frequencies.
4.1.3 The Fire Commander will keep ATC informed of the incident action plan.

5 AERODROME EMERGENCIES
5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 This section explains the terms that are used to classify aerodrome emergencies and
defines the degree of response required from agencies involved in the Aerodrome Emergency
Plan (AEP).

5.2 LOCAL STANDBY


5.2.1 A Local Standby is declared when activation of only the airport-based agencies involved in
the Aerodrome Emergency Plan (AEP) is warranted. 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 normally involve any serious difficulty in effecting a safe land-
ing.
5.2.2 The normal response to a Local Standby will be from the (on-airport) Airservices/RAAF
Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (RFFS) and the Aerodrome Safety Officer. No outside services
will respond. At an aerodrome without RFFS facilities, the response (if any) to a declaration of a
Local Standby will be set out in the AEP.
5.2.3 For the purposes of activating an AEP, a “PAN” call from an aircraft will result in the decla-
ration of not less than a Local Standby.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1419
AUSTRALIA
RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING SERVICES

5.3 FULL EMERGENCY


5.3.1 A Full Emergency is declared when activation of more than just airport-based responding
agencies is advisable. 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. In order to provide
the appropriate response, one of the following levels must be used by ATS in declaring the Full
Emergency to outside services:
a. Level I — up to 18 seats (ATC - Light);
b. Level II — up to 215 seats (ATC - Medium);
c. Level III — up to 560 seats (ATC - Heavy).
5.3.2 When a Full Emergency has been declared, the response will be from all services includ-
ing on-airport services according to the level (I, II or III) notified.
5.3.3 If a pilot declares a “MAYDAY”, then this equates to a Full Emergency situation. The AEP
will then be activated by declaring “FULL EMERGENCY LEVEL (I, II or III)”.

5.4 CRASH ON AIRPORT


5.4.1 The response to a crash on the airport will be the same as for a Full Emergency.

5.5 OTHER SITUATIONS


5.5.1 For an aerodrome where there is no on-airport fire service or when the airport fire service
has been stood down, ATS will state “THERE IS NO ON-AIRPORT FIRE SERVICE AT YOUR
INTENDED AERODROME. WHAT SERVICES DO YOU REQUIRE?” ATS will then activate the
AEP at the appropriate level. The AEP will cover this situation to ensure that an over-response is
not made.

5.6 PHRASEOLOGY
5.6.1 Standard phraseology exists for the declaration of abnormal and emergency operations;
i.e., “PAN” and “MAYDAY”. Pilots are reminded that timely use of these phrases will get the level
of response required. The use of non-standard terminology can lead to misinterpretation of a
pilot’s requirements. This does not preclude ATS requesting confirmation of a pilot’s require-
ments; e.g., “DO YOU WISH THE AIRPORT TO BE PLACED ON LOCAL STANDBY?”
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1420

tion of the appropriate emergency phase.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1421
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

5.1.2 Three phases of emergency have been established for classifying emergency situations
and are declared in accordance with the following paragraphs.
5.1.2.1 Uncertainty Phase (INCERFA) when:
a. doubt exists as to the safety of an aircraft and its occupants; or
b. an aircraft operating in accordance with SAR procedures fails to report and communication
checks fail to reveal any news of the aircraft; or
c. an aircraft is known or believed to be subject to irregular operations, namely, when it is expe-
riencing navigational, altitude or communication difficulties; or
d. an aircraft is about to make or has made a landing other than a forced landing, where the
position is in doubt, on an unprepared surface or on an aerodrome that is operationally
unsuitable; or
e. information is received that an aircraft is missing.
5.1.2.2 Alert Phase (ALERFA) when:
a. apprehension exists as to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants; or
b. an aircraft fails to land within 5 minutes of having received a landing or approach clearance
and communication cannot be re-established with the aircraft; or
c. following an Uncertainty Phase, subsequent communication checks or enquiries fail to reveal
any news of the aircraft; or
d. information has been received that the operating efficiency of the aircraft has been impaired
to the extent that the safety of the aircraft may be affected; or
e. there is reason to believe that the safe conduct of a flight is in jeopardy; or
f. an aircraft operating in IMC or at night when it should not be.
5.1.2.3 Distress Phase (DETRESFA) when;
a. there is reasonable certainty that an aircraft and its occupants are threatened by grave and
imminent danger and require immediate assistance; or
b. an aircraft is known or believed to be subject to unlawful interference; or
c. following the Alert Phase there is the probability that an aircraft is in distress; or
d. the fuel on board is considered to be exhausted or insufficient to reach safety unless a SAR-
TIME has been notified; or
e. an aircraft is likely to or about to make, or has made, a forced landing or has ditched or
crashed.

5.2 PILOT NOTIFICATION


5.2.1 The efficacy of the SAR action by the Airservices or AusSAR 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 appre-

hension felt by the pilot will enhance the assistance which can be provided by the ground organi-
zation.
5.2.2 When a pilot lands at a place other than an aerodrome included in the flight notification,
the pilot should report the fact to ATS, AusSAR, or the police as soon as possible.

5.3 FLIGHT NOTES


5.3.1 Persons maintaining a SARWATCH by means of a Flight Note must contact AusSAR in
the event that the flight becomes overdue.

5.4 ADVICE TO PILOT


5.4.1 If a phase declaration concerns a technical difficulty, the operating company, if applicable,
will normally be advised. Subsequent advice relating to the difficulty will be restricted to that
authorized by the company and will be prefixed “YOUR COMPANY ADVISES”.

11 AIR SEARCH PATTERNS


11.1 GENERAL
11.1.1 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.

11.2 VISUAL SEARCH


11.2.1 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.
11.2.1.1 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
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1428
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

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.

11.2.1.2 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.

11.2.1.3 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.

11.2.1.4 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
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1429
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

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.
11.2.1.4.1 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.
11.2.1.4.2 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.

11.2.1.5 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.
11.2.1.5.1 Radius of search, angular displacement and mean track spacing (MTS) are specified
with the briefing.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1430
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.2.1.6 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.

11.3 ELECTRONIC SEARCH


11.3.1 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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1431
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.3.2 Non-Searchmeter Procedures


11.3.2.1 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.

11.3.2.2 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

SEARCH AND RESCUE

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.

11.3.3 Searchmeter Procedures


11.3.3.1 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.
11.3.3.1.1 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;
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1433
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

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
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 sight.

11.3.3.2 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.
11.3.3.3 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. Pro-
vided 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 following a lobe the search aircraft will be guided direct to the beacon.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1434
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.3.3.4 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.
11.3.3.5 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.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

11.3.3.6 Overwater Searches


11.3.3.6.1 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.

11.4 MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN


11.4.1 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-
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.
11.4.2 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.

12 EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)


12.1 GENERAL
12.1.1 Australian aircraft (except exempted aircraft) are required to be fitted with or to carry an
ELT in accordance with the requirements of CAR 252A (not published herein).
NOTE: 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.
12.1.2 Pilots should monitor 121.5 MHz before engine start and after shutdown. Reception of an
ELT transmission must be reported to ATS or RCC immediately.
12.1.3 If an ELT has been inadvertently activated, this must also be reported to ATS or the RCC
immediately. If the ELT has been activated for more than ten seconds contact Search and
Rescue on 1 800 815 257.
12.1.4 Operational tests must be limited to five seconds, and the preferred procedure is that
they be conducted within the first five minutes of the hour. AusSAR 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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1436
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

12.2 ACTIVATION
12.2.1 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.
12.2.2 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.
12.2.3 Life may depend on the correct use of the ELT; study the manufacturer’s instructions
thoroughly and keep them in an emergency kit.
12.2.4 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.
12.2.5 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.

12.3 EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT) CHARACTERISTICS


12.3.1 Frequency 406 MHz (digital) and 121.5 MHz (analog) and, in some instances, 243 MHz.
12.3.2 121.5 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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1437
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE

c. Some foreign marine beacons vary from the above; e.g., there is a European beacon pulsing
in groups of two tones.
12.3.3 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: RCCs can demonstrate the above signals on request.

13 SURVIVAL RADIO EQUIPMENT


13.1 International flights must be equipped with ELTs as follows:
a. When over water, in accordance with the relevant ICAO Standard and Recommended Prac-
tices (SARPS) which are:

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 1444
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.
a. Shelter from high winds. (Aircraft interior will provide windproof shelter but little thermal pro-
tection.)
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1446
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 1447
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.

6. Upon exiting oceanic airspace, 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:
1 maintain last assigned level, or minimum safe altitude if higher, for three (3) minutes, and/or
2 hold at nominated location for three (3) minutes, then
3 proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged, and climb to plan-
ned level.
If receiving an ATS surveillance service:
1 climb to MSA/LSALT, and,
2 if being vectored, maintain last assigned vector for two (2) minutes, then
3 proceed in accordance with the latest ATC route clearance acknowledged.
If holding :
1 fly one more complete holding pattern, then
2 proceed in accordance with the latest ATC clearance acknowledged.

DESTINATION PROCEDURES
Track to the destination in accordance with flight plan (amended by the latest ATC clearance
acknowledged, if applicable). Commence descent in accordance with standard operating proce-
dures or flight plan. Descend to the initial approach altitude for the most suitable approach aid in
accordance with the published procedures. Carry out the approach to the prescribed circling
minima.
NOTE:
a. The most suitable approach aid is normally the destination primary tracking aid; however,
when the primary tracking aid has no approach procedure or the pilot is in receipt of ATIS or
directed information (e.g., voice modulated navigation aid) that another destination aid is
required for the approach, that aid may be used.
b. If an approach time has been given by ATC and acknowledged, adhere to this time.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1450

ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

c. When within 25 miles of the destination, the pilot may track direct to the most suitable
approach aid.

ACTIONS AT MINIMA
If visual at circling minima, circle to land. However, at a controlled aerodrome, if in receipt of direc-
ted aerodrome information and/or a landing clearance (e.g., a green light or voice modulated navi-
gation aid, etc.) the pilot may continue a runway approach.
If NOT visual at circling minima, depart for a suitable alternate aerodrome. However, if in receipt
of directed aerodrome information indicating that a runway approach is available for landing, the
pilot may continue descent to the appropriate minima and, if visual, land; otherwise depart to a
suitable alternate aerodrome.
If insufficient fuel is carried to divert to a suitable alternate, the pilot may hold or carry out addi-
tional approaches until visual.

COMMUNICATION AND NAVAID FAILURE


In the event of complete failure of communications and navigation aids, maintain terrain clearance
and proceed as follows:

IF IN CONTROLLED / RESTRICTED AIRSPACE OR IF IFR IN ANY AIRSPACE


a. Squawk 7600;
b. Listen out on the ATIS and/or voice modulated navaids;
c. Transmit intentions and normal position reports (assume transmitter is operating and prefix
calls with “TRANSMITTING BLIND”;
d. If practicable, leave / avoid controlled / restricted airspace and areas of dense traffic;
e. As soon as possible, establish visual navigation;
f. Land at the most suitable aerodrome; and
g. Report arrival to ATS.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

Procedures in the following paragraphs are supplemental to ICAO procedures and apply to air-
craft operations within the Nadi FIR/SRR.

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 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.
Aircraft in distress, uncertain of position or unable to comply with the above procedures request-
ing intercept and escort should:
a. Switch transponder to emergency code (Mode A, Code 7700);
b. Continue to transmit intentions unless it is positively known that the transmitter is unservicea-
ble;
c. Attempt to alert surface radar by flying the appropriate pattern as follows:
1. IF RECEIVER ONLY IS OPERATING: Fly a triangular pattern to the RIGHT, 120° turns
as tight as practicable;
2. IF RECEIVER IS INOPERATIVE: Fly a triangular pattern to the LEFT, 120° turns as
tight as practicable;
d. Complete at least two patterns before resuming heading. Repeat at intervals.
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.

PROCEDURES FOR IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES


The following procedures, applicable within the ICAO Pacific Region, are intended for guidance.
Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the following procedures provide for
cases such as inability to maintain assigned level due to weather, aircraft performance or pressur-
ization failure. They are applicable when rapid descent, turnback, or both are required. The pilot’s
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1458
KIRIBATI
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

judgement will determine the sequence of actions taken, having regard to the specific circumstan-
ces.
General Procedures
If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clearance
shall, whenever possible, be obtained before any action is taken. The RTF urgency or distress
urgency signal, as appropriate should be used.
If prior clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance must be obtained at the earliest possible
time. In the meantime, while continuing to guard the assigned enroute frequency, the pilot should
broadcast the aircraft position (including the ATS route designator if applicable) on the interna-
tional aeronautical distress frequency 121.5 MHz at suitable intervals until a revised ATC clear-
ance is received.
Subsequent Action
If unable to comply with the provisions of General Procedures the aircraft should leave its
assigned ATC route or track by turning 90° to the right or left whenever possible. The direction of
turn should have regard to the need to maintain adequate lateral spacing from adjacent routes.
An aircraft able to maintain its assigned level should, nevertheless, climb or descend 500" while
turning to establish and maintain a track laterally separated by 25 NM from its assigned ATC
route or track. An aircraft unable to maintain its assigned level should start descent while turning
to establish and maintain a track laterally separated by 25 NM from its assigned ATC route or
track.
For subsequent level flight, the pilot should select a cruising level 500" above or below the appro-
priate magnetic track altitude for IFR flights in controlled airspace.

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 has unre-
stricted use of the aircraft radio, may, if it is safe and practical to do so, insert in any RTF trans-
missions 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;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1459
KIRIBATI
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

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.

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.

JOHOR BAHRU EMERGENCY DIVERSION TRACKS
If an emergency descent is to be made by an aircraft holding in the Johor Bahru (VJR) VOR or
(JR) NDB holding stack, all aircraft holding below the level of the emergency aircraft shall be
instructed to divert immediately on a track of 306° magnetic until the emergency aircraft has vaca-
ted each aircraft’s level.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
If total radio communications failure occurs in VMC during daylight hours, the pilot shall:
a. maintain flight in visual meteorological conditions;
b. land at the nearest suitable aerodrome, which may be the destination aerodrome; and
c. report arrival to ATC by the quickest means possible.
If in instrument meteorological conditions or when conditions are such that it does not appear fea-
sible to complete the flight in accordance with VMC Procedures above, the aircraft shall:
a. unless otherwise prescribed on the basis of regional air navigation agreement, maintain the
last assigned speed and level, or minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 20 minutes
following the aircraft’s failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point and
thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan;
b. proceed according to the current flight plan route to the appropriate designated navigation
aid serving the destination aerodrome and, when required to ensure compliance with c)
below, hold over this aid until commencement of descent;
c. commence descent from the navigation aid specified in b) at, or as close as possible to, the
expected approach time last received and acknowledged; or, if no expected approach time
has been received and acknowledged, at, or as close as possible to, the estimated time of
arrival resulting from the current flight plan;
d. complete a normal instrument approach procedure as specified for the designated navigation
aid; and land, if possible, within thirty minutes after the estimated time of arrival specified in
c) or the last acknowledged expected approach time, whichever is later.
The pilot shall contact ATC as soon as possible after landing.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE WHILE UNDER RADAR CONTROL


If two-way communication is lost with a radar controlled aircraft, ATC will ascertain whether the
aircraft’s receiver is working by transmitting on appropriate frequencies a request that the pilot
acknowledges ATC transmissions by:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1461
MALAYSIA
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

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 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 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.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE EXPERIENCED BY DEPARTING AIRCRAFT


The pilot of a departed IFR flight in IMC, who has acknowledged a climb to an initial level other
than the flight planned level for the enroute phase of flight shall proceed to his/her destination as
follows:
a. set the SSR transponder to code 7600;
b. maintain the last assigned level for a period of 3 minutes if no clearance time or geographical
limit was given by ATC; and
c. subsequently climb, complying with any level requirements stipulated in the SID or departure
clearance as appropriate then to the cruising level in accordance with the current flight plan.
If, during the 3-minute period specified above, the pilot will encounter a minimum IFR level that
exceeds the level last assigned by ATC, the pilot shall climb to the minimum IFR level.
The pilot of an aircraft being radar vectored after departure shall:
a. set the SSR transponder to code 7600;
b. maintain the last assigned altitude and heading for a period of two (2) minutes and, if the
assigned altitude is lower than the MSA, climb to the MSA; and
c. proceed by the most direct path while climbing to the flight planned level, to intercept the cur-
rent flight planned route to the destination.
If the circumstances do not permit the flight to proceed to the destination, the pilot shall maintain
VMC and avoid known areas of dense traffic and land at the most suitable aerodrome, which may
be the departure aerodrome.

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 1466
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 1467
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.

IFR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE — VMC AND CERTAIN OF MAINTAINING VMC


If the pilot of the aircraft is in VMC and is certain of maintaining VMC:
a. remain in VMC and proceed to a suitable aerodrome and land; and
b. 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

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:
a. maintain the last assigned level(s) to the points specified, then climb to maintain the level(s)
in the current flight plan; or

b. if no points are specified, maintain the last assigned level, or minimum flight altitude if higher,
for five minutes, then climb to maintain the level(s) specified in the current flight plan.
Departure — Radar Vectors
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure on departure should:
a. maintain the last assigned vector for two minutes, and climb to minimum safe altitude if nec-
essary to maintain terrain clearance; and
b. proceed in accordance with the route specified in the current flight plan.
Arrival
On arrival, the pilot of an IFR aircraft experiencing communications failure should:
a. track to the destination aid/fix, or if none specified by ATC, the selected aid/fix for the known
or forecast RWY; and
b. commence descent in accordance with:
1. the last acknowledged ATC clearance, or if not received;
2. standard operating procedures or flight plan.
c. to the initial approach altitude for the published approach procedure.
At or Within 25 NM from Destination
At or within 25 NM from destination, the pilot of an IFR aircraft experiencing communication failure
should:
a. arrive over the destination/selected aid/fix at the last designated level at or as near as possi-
ble to the expected approach time given by ATC, and commence approach; or
b. if too high, descend in the aid/fix holding pattern to a level convenient for approach; or
c. if on initial approach at the time of the communications failure but not cleared for the
approach, continue via the procedure and maintain the last assigned level until established
on final approach track, then commence approach; or
d. if too high:
1. if a holding pattern is established on the final approach track, descend in the holding
pattern to a level convenient for approach; or
2. if no holding pattern is established, carry out missed approach and position for another
approach, if specified diversion allows.
Radar Vectors on Arrival
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure while being radar vectored on
arrival should:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1471

ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

a. maintain the last assigned vector for two minutes, climbing if necessary to minimum safe alti-
tude to maintain terrain clearance, and proceed to the aid/fix for an approach as specified at
or within 25 NM from destination;
b. if on initial/intermediate approach, maintain the last assigned level until established on final
approach track, and then commence approach.
Diversion
If unable to achieve a landing following an approach, the pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences
communications failure should carry out a missed approach.
A second approach may be made if desired, provided a landing can be accomplished within 30
minutes of the expected approach time or the ETA, whichever is the latter. If this approach is
unsuccessful, the aircraft must divert to the alternate aerodrome.
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure while holding because of the
closure of the destination aerodrome should hold until the divert time notified to ATC, and then
depart for the alternate aerodrome.

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.

d. Complete at least two patterns before resuming heading. Repeat at intervals.
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.

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 1478
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.

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.

(2) the nearest fix towards the destination on the airway or route assigned as a
limit of vector when an aircraft is given a vector; or
(3) the nearest fix towards the destination on the last assigned route when not
assigned a limit of vector, then rejoin the last assigned route. While proceed-
ing to fix mentioned above, aircraft should fly to avoid restricted/warning
areas.
(b) maintain the last assigned altitude or minimum altitude (minimum enroute altitude,
minimum crossing altitude, minimum reception altitude or altitude restriction)
whichever is higher and the last assigned speed for a following period and there-
after adjust altitude and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan;

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.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
In the event of failure of two-way communications while operating on a radar frequency, the pilot
shall change to any other alternative ATC frequency and request instructions.
If able to receive but not transmit, the pilot shall remain on the frequency on which he has been
communicating and comply with instructions issued by the radar controller designed to establish
that the aircraft is receiving. If this is established, further instructions appropriate to the circum-
stances will be issued.
If unable to make contact on the alternative frequencies, the pilot shall comply with the standard
radio failure procedures as specified below.
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 total communication failure occurs in IMC or in VMC during the hours between sunset and sun-
rise, 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.
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 operations 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 the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
c. Commence descent as close as possible to estimated approach time (EAT) (or ETA if no
EAT has been acknowledged).
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 SAMKO Holding Area (SHA) at 4000 ft
then:
1. via A457 at FL200 if Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Intl) is the nominated alternate, or
2. via B470 at FL290 if Jakarta, Indonesia (Soekarno-Hatta Intl) is the nominated alter-
nate, or
3. otherwise proceed at the planned flight level to other nominated alternate.
NOTE:
a. Aircraft are to follow the established radio failure procedures as laid down by the
respective airports.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1493
SINGAPORE

IDENTIFICATION OF RUNWAY-IN-USE
ATC will switch on the appropriate approach lights and the ILS serving the runway-in-use to assist
the pilot in its identification. If the approach lights for the runway-in-use are sighted but the ILS
frequency is not received, the pilot shall assume that the ILS is inoperative and shall proceed to
land on the runway on which the approach lights have been sighted.
If unable to land within 30 minutes of estimated approach time (EAT), or estimated time of arrival
(ETA) if no EAT has been received and acknowledged, proceed to cross SAMKO Holding Area
(SHA) at 4000 ft then via A457 at FL200 if Kuala Lumpur is the nominated alternate or via B470 at
FL290 if Soekarno-Hatta is the nominated alternate or otherwise proceed at the planned flight
level to other nominated alternate.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES — SINGAPORE CHANGI — DEPARTURES


When an aircraft which has been cleared by ATC to an intermediate level experiences total radio
communications failure immediately after departure from Singapore Changi Airport and it is
deemed unsafe for it to continue to its destination, the pilot will set the aircraft transponder to
Mode A/C Code 7600 and adhere to the procedures below.
When radio communications failure occurs immediately after the aircraft has departed on Rwy
02L/02C, the pilot shall proceed according to the following procedures:
a. Proceed straight ahead to NYLON Holding Area (NHA) climbing to the last assigned altitude.
At NHA, climb/descend to maintain 7500 ft;
b. Hold at NHA for four (4) minutes. Leave NYLON on track 203° and on crossing Johor Bahru
(VJR) R108 turn left to intercept VJR R117 for HOSBA Holding Area (HHA) to jettison fuel (if
required), maintaining 7500 ft;
c. After fuel jettison, proceed to SAMKO Holding Area (SHA) via airway G580 and SINJON
DVOR. Maintain 7500 ft. At SHA descend for an instrument approach on Rwy 02L/02C.
Identify the runway-in-use in accordance with the IDENTIFICATION OF RUNWAY-IN-USE
paragraph above.
When radio communications failure occurs immediately after the aircraft has departed on Rwy
20R/20C, the pilot shall proceed according to the following procedures:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1495
SINGAPORE
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

a. Proceed straight ahead to SAMKO Holding Area (SHA) climbing to the last assigned altitude.
At SHA climb/descend to maintain 7500 ft;
b. Hold at SHA for four (4) minutes. Leave SHA for HOSBA Holding Area (HHA) via SINJON
DVOR and airway G580 to jettison fuel (if required), maintaining 7500 ft;
c. After fuel jettison proceed to NHA via airway W401. Maintain 7500 ft. On crossing Tekong
(VTK) R042 turn right to intercept VTK R023. At NHA descend to carry out an instrument
approach on Rwy 20R/20C. Identify the runway-in-use in accordance with the IDENTIFICA-
TION OF RUNWAY-IN-USE paragraph above.
ATC action is based on the assumption that the aircraft will take a minimum of 10 minutes to jetti-
son fuel. An aircraft therefore should not leave earlier than 10 minutes after arrival at HOSBA
Holding Area even if fuel jettison is completed in a shorter time or if jettisoning is not necessary or
possible unless circumstances require an immediate return.
Alternatively, aircraft may jettison fuel between Hosba Int and a point 80 NM from VTK VOR/DME
on airway G580.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES — SELETAR


Arriving Aircraft
If total radio communication failure occurs in VMC during daylight hours to an aircraft bound for
Seletar Aerodrome, the pilot shall continue to fly in VMC and land at the most suitable aerodrome.
If in IMC or when weather conditions are such that the total radio communication failure aircraft
cannot complete its flight in accordance with the above, the pilot will EITHER:
a. proceed in accordance with the last acknowledged clearance from ATC; OR
b. if no specific instructions or clearances have been received and acknowledged;
1. maintain the last assigned level and proceed via flight planned route to Kong Kong (KK)
NDB;
2. commence descent from KK NDB at or as close as possible to the ETA Seletar Aero-
drome as indicated on the flight plan or last EAT passed by ATC and acknowledged by

Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the International Standards, Recommen-
ded Practices and Procedures contained in ICAO Annexes and Documents.

EMERGENCY
Procedures For Aircraft In Flight When Taiwan Is Under Air Raid
a. After the air raid information has been received, Taipei Area Control Center will immediately
broadcast through A/G frequencies, in order to prohibit aircraft from entering the Taipei FIR
as well as to control the Taiwan-bound aircraft. Aircraft that have already entered the Taipei
FIR will be notified by Taipei Area Control Center to reverse course or divert away from the
Taipei FIR, or otherwise land immediately at the aerodrome designated by Chinese Air Force
(CAF) Air Control Center.
b. Aircraft that could not divert because of special situations will be directed to 121.5 MHz or
243.0 MHz and listen to CAF Air control Center for further information.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
If in instrument meteorological conditions or when conditions are such that it does not appear
likely that the pilot will complete the flight:
a. Unless otherwise prescribed on the basis of a regional air navigation agreement, in airspace
where radar is not used in the provision of air traffic control, maintain the last assigned speed
and level, or minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 20 minutes following the air-
craft's failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point and thereafter adjust
level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan; or,
b. In airspace where radar is used in the provision of air traffic control, maintain the last
assigned speed and level, or minimum flight altitude if higher, for a period of 7 minutes fol-
lowing:
1. The time the last assigned level or minimum flight altitude is reached; or
2. The time the transponder is set to Code 7600; or
3. The aircraft's failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point;
4. Whichever is later and thereafter adjust level and speed in accordance with the filed
flight plan;
c. When being radar vectored or having been directed by ATC to proceed offset using RNAV
without a specified limit, proceed in the most direct manner possible to rejoin the current
flight plan route no later than the next significant point, taking into consideration the applica-
ble minimum flight altitude;
d. Proceed according to the current flight plan route to the appropriate designated navigation
aid or fix serving the destination aerodrome and, when required to ensure compliance with e
below, hold over this aid or fix until commencement of descent;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1498
TAIWAN
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES

e. Commence descent from the navigation aid or fix specified in d at, or as close as possible to,
the expected approach time last received and acknowledged; or, if no expected approach
time has been received and acknowledged, at, or as close as possible to, the estimated time
of arrival resulting from the current flight plan;
f. Complete a normal instrument approach procedure as specified for the designated naviga-
tion aid or fix; and
g. Land, if possible, within 30 minutes after the estimated time of arrival specified in e or the
last acknowledged expected approach time, whichever is later.

INTERCEPTION
Aircraft will be intercepted by Chinese Air Force interceptors, if:
a. Aircraft do not adhere to the Air Defense Identification Procedures or to the Air Traffic Con-
trol Regulations and Procedures;
b. Aircraft deviate from the current flight plan — fail to pass over a compulsory reporting point
within 5 minutes of the estimated time over that point, deviation of 20 NM from the centerline
of the airway, or 2000' difference from the assigned altitude, or other deviations.
The following actions shall be taken when being intercepted by Chinese Air Force interceptors:
a. Follow the instruction given by the intercepting aircraft, interpreting and responding to visual
signals. Do not perform any maneuver which may be construed as hostile and fly straight
and level;
b. Notify, if possible the appropriate air traffic services unit;
c. Tune radio receiver to the international emergency frequency immediately (VHF: 121.5 MHZ,
UHF: 243.0 MHZ);
d. If direct radio communication cannot be established with the interceptors, comply strictly with
the visual signals given by them;
e. Unless otherwise instructed by the appropriate air traffic service unit, set transponder code
on 7700.
The safety of aircraft under interception will be in jeopardy if they fail to obey instructions given by
the interceptor.
The Authority of the Republic of China (Taiwan) will not be responsible for any damage caused to
aircraft by the interceptor or other devices due to noncompliance with the Air Defense Identifica-
tion Procedures, or the Air Traffic Regulations and Procedures.
If any instructions received by radio from any sources conflict with those given by the intercepting
aircraft by visual signals or by radio, the intercepted aircraft shall request immediate clarification
while continuing to comply with the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft.
Signals for use in the event of interception conform to ICAO Annex 2, Appendix 1 with the follow-

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 and unregistered Aerodromes
The information about the movement areas and lighting details of aerodromes 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 aerodrome operator directly to ensure currency and accu-
racy of aerodrome 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 1543
AUSTRALIA

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 1544
AUSTRALIA

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. To enhance the safe management of emer-
gency situations involving aircraft, a nationally approved ARFF Emergency Frequency of 131.0
MHz is available for direct communication between an Aircraft Flight Crew and the ARFF Incident
Commander. ATC shall advise Flight Crews and/or ARFF when to operate on the 131.0 fre-
quency. For ARFF locations without ATC, use of the CTAF is appropriate.

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.)
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1550
AUSTRALIA

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.)
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 RPT aircraft is 90m (295'). Because of the requirement 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
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1551
AUSTRALIA

in brackets immediately following the TODA information. Liaise with the AD OPR if obstacle infor-
mation is required.
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
C = Low Strength
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1554
AUSTRALIA

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 5000kg 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.

Permanent Tire Pressure Concessions

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 1556
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:

1. Category I (CAT I) operation. A precision instrument approach and landing with a deci-
sion height not lower than 200 ft and a visibility not less than 800m, or a RVR not less
than 550m.
2. Category II (CAT II) operation. A precision instrument approach and landing with a deci-
sion height lower than 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft, and a runway visual range not
less than 350m.
3. Category IIIA (CAT IIIA) operation. A precision instrument approach and landing with a
decision height lower than 100 ft, or no decision height and a runway visual range not
less than 200m.
4. Category IIIB (CAT IIIB) operation. A precision instrument approach and landing with a
decision height lower than 50 ft, or no decision height and a runway visual range not
less than 50m.
5. Category IIIC (CAT IIIC) operation. A precision instrument approach and landing with no
decision height no runway visual range limitations.
INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE — A series of predetermined maneuvers by reference
to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles from the initial approach fix or, where
applicable, from the beginning of a defined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be
completed and thereafter, if a landing is not completed, to a position at which holding or enroute
obstacle clearance criteria apply.
INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS) — A precision instrument approach system which nor-
mally consists of the following electronic components: VHF Localizer; UHF Glide slope; VHF
Marker Beacons.
INSTRUMENT RUNWAY — One of the following types of runways intended for the operation of
aircraft using instrument approach procedures:
a. Non-Precision Approach Runway — An instrument runway served by visual aids and a
nonvisual aid providing at least directional guidance adequate for a straight-in approach;
b. Precision Approach Runway, CAT I — An instrument runway served by ILS and visual
aids intended for operations with a decision height not lower than 200 ft and either a visibility
not less than 800m, or a RVR not less than 550m;
c. Precision Approach Runway, CAT II — An instrument runway served by ILS and visual
aids intended for operations with a decision height lower than 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft
and a RVR not less than 350m;
d. Precision Approach Runway, CAT III — An instrument runway served by ILS to and along
the surface of the runway and:
1. for CAT IIIA – intended for operations with a decision height lower than 100 ft, or no
decision height and a RVR not less than 200m;
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1829
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

2. for CAT IIIB – intended for operations with a decision height lower than 50 ft, or no deci-
sion height and a RVR less than 200m but not less than 50m;
3. for CAT IIIC – intended for operations with no decision height and no RVR limitations.
LOCALIZER — The component of an ILS which provides azimuth guidance to a runway. It may
be used as part of an ILS or independently.
MARKER BEACON — A type of radio beacon, the emissions of which radiate in a vertical pat-
tern.
MINIMUM ALTITUDE — The minimum altitude for a particular instrument approach procedure is
the altitude at which an aircraft shall discontinue an instrument approach unless continual visual
reference to the ground or water has been established and ground visibility is equal to or greater
than that specified for landing. (Applicable to DA/MDA on procedures designed to an earlier edi-
tion of PANS-OPS, Document 8168.)
MINIMUM SECTOR ALTITUDE — The lowest altitude which may be used which will provide a
minimum clearance of 1000' above all objects located in an area contained within a sector of a
circle of 25 NM or 10 NM radius centered on a radio aid to navigation or, where there is no navi-
gation aid, the Aerodrome Reference Point.
MINIMUM VECTOR ALTITUDE — The lowest altitude which a controller may assign to a pilot in
accordance with the Radar Terrain Clearance Chart.
MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE — The procedure to be followed if the approach cannot be
continued.
NIGHT — That period of time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morn-
ing civil twilight.
PRECISION RUNWAY MONITOR (PRM) — A surveillance radar system with a minimum azimuth
accuracy of 0.06°, an update period of 2.5 seconds or less and a high resolution display providing
position prediction and deviation alert, used in providing ILS course monitoring during independ-
ent approaches to runways separated by less than 1,525M.
PRE-DEPARTURE CLEARANCE (PDC) — A means of delivering an unsolicited, text-based air-
ways clearance to eligible aircraft via an ATC data link.
PREFERRED RUNWAY — A runway nominated by ATC or listed in Airport Directory as the most
suitable for the prevailing wind, surface conditions or noise sensitive areas in the proximity of the
aerodrome.
PROCEDURE ALTITUDE/HEIGHT — A specified altitude/height flown at or above the minimum
altitude/height, and established to accommodate a stabilized descent at a prescribed descent gra-
dient/angle in the intermediate/final approach segment.
RADIO HEIGHT — The radio altimeter reading which is equivalent to the OCA adjusted for ter-
rain/ obstacle profile.
REFERENCE DATUM HEIGHT (RDH) — The height of the measured ILS glide path at the
threshold. It will provide a similar value to Threshold Crossing Height.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1830

clearance is provided.
STANDARD INSTRUMENT ARRIVAL (STAR) — A designated IFR arrival route linking a signifi-
cant point, normally on an ATS route, with a point from which a published instrument approach
procedure can be commenced.
STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE (SID) — A designated IFR departure route linking the
aerodrome or a specified runway of the aerodrome with a specified significant point, normally on a
designated ATS route, at which the enroute phase of a flight commences.
THRESHOLD CROSSING HEIGHT (TCH) — The calculated height of the procedure nominal
approach path at the threshold. For ILS, the TCH will be similar to the Reference Datum Height.
TRANSITION ALTITUDE — The altitude at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is
controlled by reference to altitudes.

HOLDING PROCEDURES

1 GENERAL
1.1 When holding is required in a specified pattern, the procedures in the following paragraphs
must be used.
1.2 The shape and terminology associated with standard holding patterns are as illustrated
below.
1.3 Right turns holding patterns are standard holding patterns and must be flown unless the
chart depicts, or ATC directs, otherwise.

Some area navigation systems are unable to fly non-RNAV holding patterns with strict compliance
with the PANS-OPS, Volume II assumptions. These systems may not be used operationally
unless the operator has obtained approval in writing that CASA is satisfied that the area naviga-
tion systems’ commands will contain the aircraft within the basic holding area defined by PANS-
OPS Volume II for the environmental conditions assumed by those criteria. Where approval has
been given, the pilot must verify overflight of the stipulated fixes by means of the reference facility.

2 LIMITATIONS
2.1 Unless otherwise specified, holding procedures are subject to the following limitations:
a. Speed — Indicated speed must not exceed
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1834
AUSTRALIA
HOLDING PROCEDURES

1. up to and including FL140


– 230 kt, or
– 170 kt for holding where the approach is limited to Cat A and B aircraft only;
2. above FL140 up to and including FL200, 240 kt; and
3. above FL200, 265 kt.
NOTE: Above the highest MSA in turbulent conditions speeds may be increased to the
lesser of 280 KIAS or Mach 0.8 subject to ATC approval in controlled areas (CTA).
b. Outbound Timing — Timing begins abeam the fix or on attaining the outbound heading,
whichever comes later.
c. Time / Distance Outbound — The outbound leg must be no longer than:
1. Up to and including FL140 – 1 minute or the time or distance limit specified on the chart.
2. Above FL140 – 1.5 minutes or the time or distance limit specified on the chart.
d. Turns — All turns in nil wind should be at a bank angle of 25 degrees or Rate One, which-
ever requires the lesser bank.
e. Wind Allowance — Allowance should be made in heading and timing to compensate for the
effects of wind to ensure the inbound track is regained before passing the holding fix
inbound. Full use should be made of indications available from the aid and estimated or
known winds.

3 ENTRY INTO THE HOLDING PATTERN


3.1 The entry into the holding pattern must be according to heading in relation to the three entry
sectors shown below, recognizing a zone of flexibility of 5 degrees on either side of the sector
boundaries. For holding on a VOR intersection, the entry track is limited to the radials forming the
intersection. For holding on a VORDME fix the entry track is limited to either the VOR radial, DME
arc or alternatively along the entry radial to a VORDME fix at the end of the outbound leg, as pub-
lished.

3.2.1 Entry from Sector 1 (Parallel Entry)


a. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft is turned onto an outbound heading for the appropri-
ate time (taken from over or abeam the holding fix whichever is later), or until reaching the
limiting DME distance if earlier; then
b. the aircraft is turned onto the holding side to intercept the inbound track or to return to the fix;
and then

AUSTRALIA
HOLDING PROCEDURES

c. on the second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft is turned to follow the holding pattern.
3.2.2 Entry from Sector 2 (Offset Entry)
a. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft is turned onto a heading to make good a track
making an angle of 30 degrees from the reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side;
then
b. flown outbound:
1. for the appropriate period of time from the holding fix, where timing is specified, up to a
maximum of 1 minute and 30 seconds; or, if earlier
2. until the appropriate limiting DME distance is attained, where distance is specified; then
c. the aircraft is turned in the direction of the holding pattern to intercept the inbound holding
track; then
d. on second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft is turned to follow the holding pattern.
3.2.3 Entry from Sector 3 (Direct Entry)
On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft is turned to follow the holding pattern. Outbound timing
begins abeam the fix, or when the abeam position cannot be determined, from completion of the
outbound turn.
3.2.4 DME Arc Entry
3.2.4.1 Having reached the fix, the aircraft must enter the holding pattern in accordance with
either Sector 1 or Sector 3 entry procedure.

4 STANDARD HOLDING PATTERN


4.1 An aircraft shall:
a. follow the prescribed track inbound to the holding fix;
b. execute a 180 degrees turn in the direction specified, so as to fly an outbound track parallel
to the inbound track;
c. continue outbound to the earlier of the time or the DME limit specified; and
d. execute a 180° turn to realign the aircraft on the inbound track.

4.2 DME LIMIT


4.2.1 The “DME limit” where prescribed for holding patterns is the DME distance at which the
outbound leg of the holding pattern shall be terminated and the turn to the reciprocal track com-
menced.

4.3 SHORTENING
4.3.1 The pilot may shorten the holding pattern to leave the holding fix at a specified time. For
prolonged holding at a level not limited by obstacles, the length of the pattern may be increased
subject to ATC approval where appropriate.

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES

1 GENERAL
1.1 Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are pre-planned IFR departure routes printed for
pilot use in diagrammatic and narrative form. They have been produced for selected aerodromes
to satisfy the requirements of:
a. noise abatement procedure tracks;
b. airspace segregation for ATC purposes;
c. obstacle clearance requirements; and
d. maximum traffic flexibility.
NOTE 1: SIDs do not account for engine failures or other emergencies involving loss of air-
craft performance.
NOTE 2: See Departure, Approach & Landing Procedures for use of published SIDs at aero-
dromes outside tower hours.
1.2 SIDs (procedural and radar) are procedures to be followed until the aircraft reaches the
LSALT for intercepting the flight planned route.
1.3 SIDs (procedural and radar) may be flown by aircraft already airborne provided that, before
commencing a SID, the pilot visually positions the aircraft on the runway centerline so that all
tracking and altitude requirements can be met.
1.4 A procedural SID specifies in both diagrammatic and narrative form the direction of turn,
tracks, and in some cases, altitude requirements and standard departure points. When tracking to
or from a navigation aid is not possible, nominal tracks are shown. The flight planned route should
be intercepted as closely as possible to the specified DME distance, where given.
1.5 Radar SIDs specify in diagrammatic and narrative form the initial track and minimum altitude
at which a turn may be initiated on to the ATC assigned heading.
NOTE: SID procedures assume that pilots will not compensate for wind effects when being radar
vectored, but will compensate for known or estimated wind effects when flying departure routes
which are expressed as tracks.
1.6 Each procedure indicates 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. An additional gradient, indicated by a figure in brackets may
be included. This additional gradient, based on an airspace requirement, should be flown by air-
craft required to remain in controlled airspace.
1.7 Diagrams also show minimum sector altitudes within 25 NM of the nominated azimuth aid.
NOTE: SID diagrams are not drawn to scale, bearings are magnetic and altitude requirements are
referenced to QNH.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1839
AUSTRALIA
STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES

2 PROCEDURAL SIDs
2.1 Procedural SIDs are identified by the name of the first enroute waypoint, or by the name of a
waypoint within the SID, and the amendment status of the procedure; e.g., “CORAL TWO
DEPARTURE” or “COODA THREE DEPARTURE”.
NOTE 1: SIDS are not identified in terms of take-off runway designators, but separate SID instruc-
tions are listed and must be followed for each runway served by the SID.
NOTE 2: Parenthesis encompass limitations on the use of the procedures by some aircraft (loca-
ted in procedure title block and SID identifier) and abbreviations;
e.g., “STRATHBOGIE (SBG) EIGHT (NON-JET) DEPARTURE”.
2.2 Unless specifically designated otherwise, procedural SIDs are for use by all aircraft types.

3 RADAR SIDs
3.1 Radar SIDs are identified by the name of the city in which the aerodrome is located, or the
name of the aerodrome, and the amendment status of the procedure; e.g., “SYDNEY ONE
DEPARTURE” or “BANKSTOWN ONE DEPARTURE”.
3.2 ATC will assign a departure heading to be flown after the initial take-off phase as depicted
on the Radar SID chart, to the minimum vector altitude (MVA). The pilot-in-command is not to
commence the take-off without having obtained the assigned departure heading and should
advise ATC if the assigned departure heading is unacceptable.
3.3 The climb gradient shown on the Radar SID chart provides obstacle clearance up to the
LSALT, but ATC will ensure obstacle clearance during vectoring above MVA.
NOTE: Radar SIDs are not identified in terms of take-off runway designators, but separate Radar
SID instructions are listed and must be followed for each runway served by the procedure.

4 ATC PROCEDURES / REQUIREMENTS


4.1 ATC will nominate a requirement to operate in accordance with a SID procedure in the
departure instructions of an airways clearance.
Unless varied by ATC, or Instrument charts jet aircraft must commence acceleration to 250 kt IAS
no later than 3000 ft and maintain 250 kt until leaving 10,000 ft. The pilot in command must
advise ATC if the aircraft will be unable to comply. Where practicable this should be at ACD
stage.
Unless varied by ATC, compliance with noise abatement procedures must be maintained. At the
completion of the noise abatement procedure, or no later than 3000 ft, whichever is higher, jet air-
craft must commence acceleration to 250 kts and maintain 250 kts until leaving 10,000 ft.
The pilot-in-command must advise ATC if cleared via a SID which requires the use of navigation
aids not available to the aircraft.
A SID may be cancelled by ATC, either before or after take-off, by the use of the phrase:
“CANCEL SID” or “ON REACHING (level or distance) CANCEL SID (alternative ATC instruc-
tions).”
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1840
AUSTRALIA
STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES

In a radar environment, when a procedural SID is cancelled before takeoff, ATC may:
a. require the pilot-in-command to depart in accordance with a radar SID; or
b. issue alternative instructions that require the aircraft to depart on runway track using the
climb gradient specified in the cancelled SID. In this case, ATC will use the phrase “CANCEL
SID, MAINTAIN RUNWAY TRACK (three digits) DEGREES.”
NOTE: For the application of this procedure, the runway and radar SID tracks must be coin-
cident up to the MVA.
In VMC by day, the pilot in command may request, or ATC may issue, a visual departure.
When a procedural SID is cancelled airborne, the cancellation will not be effected below the MVA
(radar environment) or MSA / LSALT (non-radar environment) unless the cloud base is such as to
permit flight in VMC by day up to the MVA / MSA / LSALT, as appropriate.
4.9 When a departure report is required during a SID, the SID identifier must be included in the
report.
4.10 For a Radar SID, the direction of turn and assigned heading must be advised in the air-
borne report.

5 AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
5.1 SIDs provide specific aircraft performance parameters. The design climb gradients are provi-
ded to assist the pilot in maintaining obstacle clearance. A pilot not meeting the published gradi-
ents, for any reason, accepts responsibility for obstacle clearance. If alternative procedures are
necessary; e.g., after engine failure, the pilot-in-command must advise ATC.
5.2 Procedures are designed to ICAO PANS-OPS obstacle clearance criteria which consist of:
a. 2.5% gradient of obstacle identification surfaces, or a gradient based on the most critical
obstacle, penetrating those surfaces, whichever is the higher gradient; and
b. 0.8% increasing obstacle clearance from zero at the departure end of the runway.
5.3 Any supplementary gradient given for altitude requirements imposed for other than obstacle
clearance purposes does not include the 0.8% clearance.
5.4 Where the initial climb gradient exceeds 3.3%, the altitude at which a 3.3% climb gradient
may be flown will be shown.
5.4.1 For climb gradients less than 3.3%, obstacle clearance has not been assessed.
5.5 Unless otherwise specified, flight parameters are as follows:
a. Bank angle — 15 degrees average achieved;
b. Maximum speed for turning departures — 290 kt.
NOTE: For climb gradients less than 3.3%, obstacle clearance has not been assessed.

DME/GPS ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

1 GENERAL
1.1 The DME or GPS Arrival procedure is an instrument approach procedure that provides
descent guidance along a specified track or sector, to the visual circling area of an aerodrome.
Azimuth guidance is required from the specified radio navigation aid. The requirements of Instru-
ment Approach/Take-off Procedures paragraphs 3.8, 3.10 and 3.12 apply.
1.2 Descent is not permitted until the aircraft is established within the appropriate sector or on
the specified inbound track.
1.3 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.

1.5 GPS
1.5.1 Subject to the restrictions in para 1.5.2, GPS systems meeting the requirements of Area
Navigation (RNAV) Systems Approval and Operations may be used for distance measurement
during the conduct of a DME or GPS Arrival.
1.5.2 The following specific restrictions apply to the conduct of a GPS Arrival:
a. The database medium (card, chip, etc.) must be current and of a kind endorsed by the
receiver manufacturer.
b. The coordinates of the destination VOR or NDB, to which the descent procedure relates,
must not be capable of modification by the operator or crew.
c. GPS integrity (eg, RAIM) must be available before descending below the LSALT/MSA.
d. The nominated azimuth aid (VOR or NDB) must be used to provide track guidance during
the arrival procedure.
e. In the event of a significant disparity between the NDB or VOR track, and the GPS track indi-
cation, the pilot must discontinue the arrival procedure.
NOTE: Significant disparities (GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES paragraph 5.5 refers) are:
a. NDB > 6.9 degrees and
b. VOR > 5.2 degrees
f. If at any time during the approach, there is cause to doubt the validity of the GPS information
(eg, RAIM warning), or if GPS integrity is lost (eg, RAIM not available), the pilot must con-
duct a missed approach.

2 OPERATIONS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE


2.1 The clearance “CLEARED DME (or GPS) ARRIVAL” constitutes a clearance for final
approach and authorizes an aircraft to descend to the minimum altitude specified in the appropri-
ate DME or GPS arrival procedure. ATC is not permitted to impose any altitude restriction on such
a clearance.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1842
AUSTRALIA
DME/GPS ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

2.2 When cleared for a DME or GPS 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 GPS arrival that involves the use of a holding pattern entry procedure.
2.3 When ATC cannot issue a clearance for an unrestricted DME or GPS arrival, the phrase
“DESCEND TO (level) NOT BELOW DME (or GPS) STEPS” may be used. Such an instruction
authorizes descent in accordance with the DME or GPS steps ONLY to the specified altitude.
2.4 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 GPS) STEPS” and will issue further instructions
prior to the aircraft’s reaching the cleared level.
2.5 Nothing in these procedures absolves the pilot-in-command from his/her 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.

AUSTRALIA
STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)

1 GENERAL
1.1 STARs are pre-planned IFR arrival routes which link enroute airways systems to a fix at or
near the destination aerodrome.
1.2 STARs satisfy the requirements of:
a. noise abatement procedure tracks;
b. airspace segregation for ATC purposes;
c. maximum traffic handling capacity; and
d. reduction in pilot/controller workload and air/ ground communication requirements.
1.3 STAR charts are designed to provide pilots with primary navigational reference during the
arrival phase, and specify in both diagrammatic and narrative form the route to be followed.
1.4 STARS depict:
a. a transition route, where necessary, to join a fix on the airway to the start of the arrival route;
b. an arrival route;
c. vertical navigation requirements to segregate traffic;
d. speed restrictions to assist in regulating the flow of arriving traffic; and
e. lowest safe altitudes for route segments, and a 25 NM MSA.
1.5 STARs are designed to terminate:
a. at a fix for an instrument approach; or
b. a fix for a visual approach; or
c. by initiation of vectoring to the final approach course.

2 STAR IDENTIFICATION AND CLEARANCE FORMAT


2.1 A STAR identifier is composed of the following items:
a. a basic indicator, which is the name of the arrival fix at which the arrival route begins;
b. a validity number to identify the current procedure; and
c. the word “ARRIVAL”; e.g., “ADAMS ONE ARRIVAL”.
2.2 A transition is identified by:
a. a basic indicator, which is the name of the transition fix located on an airway where the tran-
sition commences; and
b. the word “TRANSITION”; e.g., “EILDON WEIR TRANSITION”.
2.3 When a STAR includes more than one arrival track, ATC will nominate the runway to be
used in the STAR clearance. Nomination of a runway will identify the track to be flown; e.g.,
“CLEARED KINGLAKE ONE ARRIVAL, RUNWAY TWO SEVEN”.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1844
AUSTRALIA
STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)

2.4 Instrument and visual terminal procedures for specified runways may be published on STAR
charts.
2.5 A level requirement depicted on a STAR chart does not authorize a pilot to descend to meet
that requirement. To remove any possible ambiguity, ATC will provide a level assignment with the
STAR clearance. ATC will also assign descent to permit compliance with vertical navigation
requirements. Pilots must inform ATC if a level requirement cannot be met.
2.6 A STAR clearance contains the following:
a. a STAR identifier;
b. a transition route, when applicable;
c. a runway, when applicable;
d. an instrument or visual termination procedure, when applicable; and
e. a level assignment.

3 STAR PROCEDURES
3.1 Prior to issuing a STAR clearance, ATC shall advise the pilot that “STAR clearance is availa-
ble”, unless the pilot has been advised by the preceding controller to “Expect STAR clearance” on
first contact.
3.2 STARs will normally be issued prior to commencement of descent to permit pilots to plan for
any vertical navigation requirements or speed restrictions.
For flights that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of the flight notification form, ATC will automati-
cally issue a STAR with an RN PAR termination where available (e.g., LIZZI ONE UNIFORM), or
an expectation of an RNP AR approach where there is no applicable STAR, except as follows:
a. The pilot requests an alternative approach.
b. Traffic sequencing requirements.
c. There is no RNP AR approach published for the particular runway or approach track.
3.4 Where there is more than one RNP AR approach for a particular runway, ATC will determine
the approach to be used based on traffic sequencing and/or separation requirements.
3.5 A STAR may be commenced at any point from a transition fix to the arrival fix.
3.6 A pilot must read back to ATC the STAR identifier and any transition runway and termination
procedure specified in the STAR clearance.
3.7 The pilot-in-command must advise ATC if cleared via a STAR which requires the use of nav-
igation aids not available to the aircraft.
3.8 Where a STAR incorporates circuit legs to a runway, pilots of aircraft not equipped with a
flight management system may have difficulty with navigation on the STAR. Where this is the
case, the pilot in command should accept the STAR clearance and request vectors when contact-
ing Approach Control; e.g., “REQUEST VECTORS FROM [waypoint or fix]”.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1845
AUSTRALIA
STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)

3.9 The STAR speed requirement of 250 KIAS maximum below 10,000 ft must be complied with
unless amended by ATC. A speed restriction greater than 250 KIAS issued above 10,000 ft does
not vary this requirement. A speed less than 250 KIAS imposed above 10,000 ft must be com-
plied with throughout the STAR procedure.
3.10 ATC may cancel STAR speed requirements either by individual instructions; e.g.,
“CANCEL SPEED RESTRICTIONS”, or by general advice on the ATIS; e.g., “STAR SPEED
RESTRICTIONS DO NOT APPLY”.
3.11 ATC may hold or vector an aircraft after a STAR clearance has been issued.
3.12 When an aircraft is vectored away or deviates from a STAR or Transition Route associated
with a STAR, and the intention is that the aircraft will rejoin the STAR or Transition Route, ATC
will restate any restrictions/requirements applicable to the STAR or Transition Route up to and
including the point the STAR or Transition Route is rejoined.
3.13 ATC will initiate vectoring by use of the following phraseology:
“TURN LEFT (or RIGHT) HEADING (three digits) FOR SEQUENCING (or SEPARATION),
EXPECT (STAR or Transition Route identifier) IN (number) MILES (or AT (position))”.
3.14 When an aircraft is vectored or deviates off a STAR or Transition route, ATC will;
a. re-position the aircraft on the STAR or Transition Route;
b. provide direct tracking to a waypoint on the STAR or Transition Route; and
c. restate any restrictions/requirements applicable to the STAR or Transition Route being
rejoined up to and including the point the STAR or Transition Route is rejoined.
3.15 Following vectoring or holding pilots must resume the previously issued STAR clearance
including any transition and comply with any STAR or Transition Route restrictions/requirements
from the position at which the aircraft re-intercepts the STAR or Transition Route.
3.16 When required, holding must be in accordance with the published procedure, or as directed
by ATC.
3.17 ATC may cancel a STAR, either prior to or after the Arrival Fix. ATC will re-issue any new
STAR instruction in full.
3.18 When ATC cancels all STAR speed restrictions this includes cancellation of any general
requirement to maintain 250 kt or less below A100.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1 APPLICATION
1.1 Noise Abatement Procedures shall normally apply to all jet propelled aircraft and other air-
craft having a MTOW exceeding 5700kg (12,560 lbs).
NOTE: A subsonic jet-propelled aircraft will not be permitted to operate in Australia unless it
meets the requirement of ICAO ANNEX 16, Volume I, Chapter 3 (not published herein).
1.2 Where noise abatement procedures are prescribed, and ATC traffic management permits,
the runway nomination provisions published on NOISE charts will be applied. Not withstanding
this, noise abatement will not be a determining factor in runway selection under the following cir-
cumstances (unless required by Noise Abatement legislation):
a. In conditions of low cloud, 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 downwind 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 downwind 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.
1.3 Preferred flight paths for arriving and departing aircraft have been determined for particular
locations. For departing aircraft they may be in the form of a SID. Arriving aircraft must not make
approaches to land below the visual or electronic glide paths for the runway in use. The require-
ment to follow the noise abatement flight paths shall be subject to a specific ATC clearance or
instruction, and may be varied by ATC for operational reasons; e.g., weather, traffic complexity.
1.4 Aircraft operating outside tower hours of operation (at locations which do not have continu-
ous tower services) must comply with relevant noise abatement procedures only where they do
not conflict with circuit direction requirements for that location.
1.5 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 – Air-
craft Operations (PANS-OPS) Vol. 1, Part V, Chapter 3. and are subject to approval by the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority.
1.6 Noise abatement departure procedures must be used by jet propelled aircraft from the loca-
tions and runways identified under the noise abatement procedures published in Jeppesen Termi-
nal section. The departure procedure to be used on a specific departure should satisfy the noise
abatement objectives of the airport operator in alleviating noise either close to the airport or dis-
tant from the airport. Examples of such procedures are given in PANS-OPS Vol. I, Part V, Chap-
ter 3 (NADP 1 and NADP 2).
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1847
AUSTRALIA
NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

NOTE 1: NADP 1 and NADP 2 are EXAMPLES only. The actual procedures developed by the
operator for a specific aircraft type may vary from these examples provided the minimum require-
ments of the procedures are met.
NOTE 2: The power settings to be used subsequent to the failure or shutdown of an engine or
any other apparent loss of performance, at any stage in the take-off or noise abatement climb, are
at the discretion of the pilot-in-command, and noise abatement considerations no longer apply.
1.7 As an alternative to the procedures detailed in para 1.6, operators of aircraft which have
engines with a by-pass ratio greater than 3.5 may use the procedure detailed below:
a. climb at V2 +10KT to V2 +20KT – or body angle limit speed; and
b. maintain take-off power to a height above the airport of 1000 ft:
c. then maintaining a positive rate of climb, accelerate to zero flap minimum safe maneuvering
speed (VZF ) retracting flap on schedule;
d. then reduce to normal climb power/thrust; and
NOTE: For aircraft with slow flap retraction, reduce power/thrust at an intermediate flap set-
ting.
e. continue climb at not greater than VZF +10KT to a height above the airport of 3000 ft:
f. accelerate smoothly to enroute climb speed; and
g. maintain runway heading unless required to do otherwise in accordance with a SID or spe-
cific ATC instruction.

2.1 There are curfews on some operations at Adelaide, Gold Coast, Melbourne/Essendon and
Sydney airports. See the applicable NOISE charts for details.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1848
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

1 APPLICATION
1.1 The provisions of this section apply to aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules,
unless otherwise approved by CASA.
1.2 Instrument approach procedures are designed on criteria contained in two different editions
of ICAO PANS-OPS, Document 8168.
1.2.1 Procedures complying with the provisions of the new PANS-OPS, Document 8168, Vol II
are being progressively introduced.
1.2.2 Procedures designed on an earlier version of PANS-OPS retain the following operational
differences:
a. the circling area is the area contained within 3 NM of the aerodrome reference point except
when the aerodrome has runways in excess of 1800m where the circling area is bounded by
the circumference of 3 NM arcs drawn from the ends of the runways and the tangents joining
these arcs;
b. circling minimums provide an obstacle clearance of at least 400 ft in the circling area;
c. airspeed during the approach shall not exceed 175 KIAS;
d. all altitudes shown on the approach profile are descent limitations;
e. a missed approach point is not annotated on all charts. Missed approach shall be executed
on reaching the published position or altitude from which the missed approach procedure
commences.
1.3 The circling restrictions shown on approach charts apply by day in less than VMC, and at
night.
1.4 All procedures depict tracks, and pilots should attempt to maintain the track by applying cor-
rections to heading for known wind or estimated wind.
NOTE 1: Plan and profile diagrams of holding and approach procedures on the instrument
approach charts are diagrammatic. The profile line of a non-precision segment of an instrument
approach does not necessarily represent the optimum descent profile. However, if a limiting fix or
radial is shown on these procedures, the segment must be terminated at the earlier limit of the
time or fix specified.
NOTE 2: Times shown on outbound legs of holding and approach procedures provide for opti-
mum maneuvering in zero wind. These times may be adjusted only to the extent that allows for
known wind component.
NOTE 3: On profile diagrams where an approach without DME is combined with one using DME
(e.g., VOR DME or VOR), any reference to a DME Fix refers only to the approach using DME.
The reference to time only refers to the approach not using DME. Compliance with indicated fix
positions and DME distances of DME descent procedures is mandatory.

1.5 MINIMUM SECTOR ALTITUDE (MSA)


1.5.1 25 NM and 10 NM MSAs provide 1000 ft obstacle clearance. An aircraft within 25 NM or
10 NM of the facility may use the applicable MSA, and deviation from the track being flown is per-

mitted to facilitate entry to the instrument approach. In instances where the 25 NM MSA has been
divided into sectors, and the appropriate Sector MSA is lower than the 10 NM MSA, the Sector
MSA may be used for tracking to the aid provided aircraft tracking can be maintained within the
sector.

1.6 MINIMUM ROUTE ALTITUDES


1.6.1 Except when complying with the requirements for a visual approach, when conforming to a
published DME or GPS Arrival Procedure, or when identified and assigned an altitude by ATC, an
aircraft approaching an aerodrome must not descend below the LSALT or the MSA for the route
segment being flown until it has arrived over the IAF or facility.

1.7 PROCEDURE ENTRY


1.7.1 Having arrived over the IAF or facility, and except as provided in paragraph 3.4, further
descent shall be made in accordance with the entry and holding procedures to the specified alti-
tude for commencing the approach and subsequently in accordance with the approved instrument
approach procedure.

1.8 DME DISTANCE / ALTITUDE


1.8.1 A DME distance / altitude table is provided on charts where runway approach minima are
published and the DME and azimuth facilities are suitably located. This table is provided to assist
in maintaining an optimum descent profile where glide slope guidance may not be available.
Wherever possible, the profile has been designed to allow for a descent of 3° (approximately 320
ft per mile) to the touchdown point (nominally 300m past the runway threshold). The designed
rates of descent for profiles in excess of 3° are noted on the chart. Altitudes have been rounded to
the nearest 10 ft.

1.9 TEMPERATURE ERROR


1.9.1 All altitude information has been calculated for International Standard Atmosphere (ISA)
conditions.

2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1 AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE CATEGORY
2.1.1 The following categories, based upon Vat (except for CAT H), determine landing minima
for aircraft:
Category:
A — speeds up to 90 KIAS
B — speeds from 91 to 120 KIAS
C — speeds from 121 to 140 KIAS
D — speeds from 141 to 165 KIAS
E — speeds above 166 to 210 KIAS
H — (helicopters) see paragraph 2.2
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1850
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

NOTE: Vat is the indicated airspeed at the threshold which is equal to the stalling speed Vso multi-
plied by 1.3 or the stalling speed Vs1g multiplied by 1.23. Both Vso and Vs1g apply to aircraft in the
landing configuration at the maximum certificated landing weight. If both Vso and Vs1g are availa-
ble for an aircraft, the higher resulting Vat must be used.
2.1.2 An aircraft must fit into and be operated in accordance with the requirements of only one
category. An aircraft:
a. may not reduce category because of reduced operating weight, but
b. must increase category when actual handling speeds are in excess of those for category
(based on Vat ) detailed in para 2.3.
2.1.3 Provided an aircraft can be operated within the limits of the handling speeds (detailed at
para 2.3) for a lower category than the category determined by Vat , and subject to approval by
CASA, an operator whose crew(s) operate under a CAR 217 training and checking organization
may operate that aircraft type at the lower category. When such an approval is granted, all com-
pany operations of the aircraft type must be in accordance with the requirements of the revised
category.

2.2 HELICOPTERS
2.2.1 The following criteria apply to helicopter-specific instrument approach procedures and
operations:
a. the stall speed method of calculating aircraft category does not apply to helicopters;
b. where helicopters are operated similarly to airplanes, they may be classified as CAT A;
c. procedures developed for the specific use of helicopters are:
1. designated “CAT H”, and
2. promulgated on separate charts; i.e., they are not included on charts containing proce-
dures for other aircraft categories.

2.3 HANDLING SPEEDS


2.3.1 The handling speeds for aircraft categories during instrument approach procedures are as
follows:

Table 1.1
NOTE 1: On reversal procedures (see para 3.9) for which a FAF is not published, final approach
speed should be obtained before descending on the inbound track.
NOTE 2: 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.

2.4 SPEED RESTRICTIONS


2.4.1 Where speeds are restricted to values less than the maximums shown in the table above,
the restriction and applicable segment will be identified on the approach chart.

2.5 OBSTACLE CLEARANCE ALTITUDE (OCA)


2.5.1 Obstacle clearance altitude is:
a. in a precision approach procedure, the lowest altitude at which a missed approach must be
initiated to ensure compliance with the appropriate obstacle clearance criteria; or
b. in a non-precision runway approach procedure, the lowest altitude below which the aircraft
cannot descend without infringing the appropriate obstacle clearance criteria; or
c. in a visual (circling) procedure, the lowest altitude above the aerodrome elevation in accord-
ance with obstacle clearance criteria.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1852
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

2.6 AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA


2.6.1 The MDA and DA published on instrument approach charts are in accordance with ICAO
Annex 6, Part I (not published herein). Operations are not permitted to MDA or DA lower than
those published. Unless otherwise noted on the approach chart, MDA and DA equals the OCA.
2.6.2 Operators must, in accordance with ICAO Annex 6, Part I, Chapter 4, establish AOM for
each aerodrome to be used for operations. After consideration of the factors listed in Annex 6,
operators may determine that their AOM should be higher than the stated aerodrome operating
minima. In any event, all DAs must be adjusted to determine an AOM which accounts for aircraft
pressure error. Operators may apply aircraft Pressure Error Correction (PEC) or, alternatively,
add at least 50 ft to the published DA. Compensation for aircraft pressure error is not required
when determining AOM for non-precision approaches.

2.7 INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS)


2.7.1 The ILS comprises localizer equipment, glide path equipment and marker beacons, usu-
ally supported by an NDB.
CAUTION:
a. False courses may exist or course reversals may occur outside the sector 35 degrees
either side of the localizer course.
b. Back beam radiation of a 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.
2.7.2 Failures
2.7.2.1 NDB — In the event of an NDB failure, aircraft must join the ILS outside the outer marker
as directed by NOTAM or ATC.
2.7.2.2 Glide Path — In the event of glide path failure, only the localizer procedure is available.
2.7.2.3 Markers — Where marker beacons are not available, aircraft may use the ILS provided
that the alternate fixes nominated on the instrument approach chart or by NOTAM are used for
altimeter checks.
2.7.3 Altimeter Checks
2.7.3.1 The final approach segment contains a fix at which the glide path/altimeter relationship
should be verified. If the check indicates an unexplained discrepancy, the ILS approach should be
discontinued. The following should also be complied with:
a. To ensure obstacle clearance, both LOC and glideslope should be maintained within half
scale deflection (or equivalent on expanded scale).
b. If, at any time during the approach after the FAP, the LOC or glideslope indicates full scale
deflection a missed approach should be commenced.

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

2.7.4 Protection of ILS Critical and Sensitive Areas


2.7.4.1 Disturbances to ILS localizer and glide slope courses may occur when vehicles or air-
craft are operated near the localizer or glide slope antennas. To prevent these disturbances, ILS
critical areas are established near each localizer and glideslope antenna. For CAT II and III ILS
installations, an ILS sensitive area is also established.
2.7.4.2 Within Australia, ATC does not automatically protect the ILS critical areas when ILS
operations are taking place. Instead, the provision of ILS critical area protection depends on
weather conditions and the position of approaching aircraft as described in this section.
2.7.4.3 When the cloud ceiling is more than 600 ft and the visibility is more than 2,000m, ATC
does not protect the ILS critical area from disturbance by aircraft movement.
NOTE 1: When ATC is not protecting the ILS critical area, ILS beam bends may occur because of
aircraft interference. Sudden and unexpected flight control movements may occur at a very low
altitude or during the landing and roll-out when the autopilot attempts to follow the beam bends.
NOTE 2: A CAT I ILS is not required to support autoland operations although it is recognized that
some CAT I ILS facilities can support autoland operations. Unless specifically mentioned in the
AIP, it must be assumed that ILS signals to CAT I runways are not flight inspected for autoland
approaches, and therefore guidance signal anomalies may be encountered below the CAT I deci-
sion height without advance warnings.
2.7.4.4 When the cloud ceiling is at or below 600 ft, or the visibility is 2,000m or less, ATC will
protect the ILS critical area with the following exceptions:
a. An aircraft may enter an ILS critical area without ATC clearance, while landing or vacating a
runway after landing.
b. An aircraft may enter an ILS critical area during ground operations with ATC clearance, if:
1. an approaching aircraft has not passed the ILS outer marker; or
2. if an outer marker is not available – an approaching aircraft is not within 4 NM of the
landing runway threshold.
NOTE 1: Despite these protection measures, pilots may experience the ILS beam bends and
other interference:
a. during that part of an ILS approach prior to the outer marker or 4 NM from touchdown; or
b. after passing the outer marker or 4 NM point, if a preceding aircraft enters the localizer criti-
cal area in the process of landing or vacating the runway.
NOTE 2: See the note at para 7.4.3 relating to autoland operations on CAT I runways.
2.7.4.5 If an aircraft penetrates the critical area when the cloud ceiling is at or below 600 ft or the
visibility is 2,000m or less, ATC will broadcast an appropriate warning to:
a. any approaching aircraft that have passed the ILS outer marker; or
b. if an outer marker is not available – any approaching aircraft that are within 4 NM of the land-
ing runway threshold.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1854
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

2.7.4.6 If:
a. ILS CAT II or III approaches are conducted at an aerodrome; and
b. the cloud ceiling is below 200 ft, or the visibility is less than 550m;
then:
c. for the ILS critical area – once an arriving aircraft is passed the ILS outer marker or, if an
outer marker is not available, is within 4 NM of the landing runway threshold, ATC will not
permit other aircraft or any vehicle within the relevant ILS localizer or glidepath critical areas;
and
d. for ILS sensitive areas – once an arriving aircraft is within 2 NM of the landing runway
threshold, ATC will not permit other aircraft or any vehicle within the relevant ILS sensitive
areas.
NOTE: Despite these protection measures, pilots may experience the ILS signal interference
during that part of an ILS approach prior to the outer marker or 4 NM from touchdown.
2.7.4.7 Pilots should inform ATC about any intention to conduct:
a. an approach with minima less than CAT I; or
b. an autoland procedure.
When the cloud ceiling at or above 600 ft or the visibility is 2,000m or more, such information
must not be taken as a request for or expectation of the protection of the ILS but to enhance the
possibility for ATC to inform the flight crew of any known or anticipated disturbance. If necessary,
ATC will use the phrase “ILS CRITICAL (and/or SENSITIVE) AREA NOT PROTECTED”.
2.7.4.8 If an aerodrome supports localizer-guided take-offs and the visibility is less than 550m,
ATC will not permit another aircraft or vehicle within the applicable ILS localizer critical and sensi-
tive areas from the time the relevant aircraft has been cleared for take-off until it has completed its
take off.
2.7.4.9 At start up, pilots should inform ATC about any intention to conduct a guided take-off
that requires guidance provided by an ILS localizer.
NOTE: Localizer-guided take-offs are generally supported on runways which have published CAT
III approaches.

3 APPROACH PROCEDURES
3.1 USE OF NAVIGATION AIDS
3.1.1 Instrument approach procedures are based on specific navigation aids, with the applicable
navigation tolerances associated with the aids being used in the development of the procedure’s
obstacle protection surfaces. The navigation aid, or aids, upon which the procedure is based
is/are identified on each instrument approach chart. Only the navigation aid, or aids, included in
the chart title or identified on the instrument approach chart as suitable may be used to fly the
procedure. (Refer to RNAV systems approval and operations for use of GNSS in instrument
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1855
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

approaches.) Use of a non-specified aid (e.g., another DME located on the aerodrome) is prohibi-
ted as it may jeopardize the integrity of the instrument approach procedure.

3.2 APPROACH SEGMENTS AND FIXES


3.2.1 Fixes associated with segments occur at the beginning of their segment. The initial, final
and missed approach fixes are shown. In addition, an area for circling the aerodrome in visual
conditions is considered.
3.2.2 Segment Parameters
3.2.2.1 Segment parameters are defined in ICAO PANS-OPS.

3.3 APPROACH DESIGN CONCEPT


3.3.1 Definitions. “Segment Minimum Safe Altitude” and “Procedure Altitude” are defined in
Definitions and Abbreviations.
3.3.2 Approach procedures are designed to facilitate descent from a Procedure Altitude to an
altitude from which either a straight-in landing or a circling procedure can be conducted. Approach
procedures are classified as either Precision or Non-Precision Approach (NPA). The latter fall into
two categories: those with distance measuring information (e.g., VOR/DME, LOC/DME, GNSS)
and those without (e.g., NDB and VOR).
3.3.3 Both categories of NPA provide obstacle clearance in accordance with the provisions of
ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS-OPS). However, those procedures which include distance measuring also
provide approach gradient advice.
3.3.4 Vertical Profile - NPA With Distance Measuring. NPAs with distance measurement are
designed to provide a constant angle descent from a procedure altitude to a point 50 ft above the
threshold (or to the circling altitude for procedures that permit only a circling approach.) The con-
stant angle descent profile is provided to reduce risks associated with Controlled Flight into Ter-
rain (CFIT) and is the recommended descent path. Each segment also specifies a Segment Mini-
mum Safe Altitude identified by shading on the profile diagram. Descent to the Segment Minimum
Safe Altitude is permitted at pilot’s discretion, but descent below the Segment Minimum Safe Alti-
tude will not ensure adequate obstacle clearance. During the conduct of a constant angle descent
in accordance with the published profile, the pilot must ensure that the aircraft remains above
each Segment Minimum Safe Altitude. The constant angle descent path is shown on the profile
diagram with the descent path angle annotated in degrees and an altitude/distance scale is provi-
ded to assist in maintaining the descent path. At each fix on the approach, an advisory crossing
altitude is shown on the profile diagram. The minimum published descent path angle is 3 degrees
(5.2%), but where obstacles require a steeper descent this angle may be increased to 3.77
degrees (6.5%) for Category A & B procedures or 3.5 degrees (6.1%) for Category C & D proce-
dures.
3.3.5 Vertical Profile - NPA Without Distance Measuring. As these types of procedures are
time based, a 3 degree profile cannot be published. Accordingly, a Procedure Altitude will be pub-
lished to establish the top of descent at the beginning of the inbound leg. This altitude will provide
the necessary obstacle clearance in addition to keeping the outbound and inbound rates of
descent within the PANS-OPS limits.

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.4 PROCEDURE ENTRY


3.4.1 An aircraft which is not required to hold or to lose height in a holding pattern may com-
mence the approach without entering the holding pattern if:
a. in controlled airspace, ATC has cleared the aircraft for the approach;
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 procedures 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 waypoint from within the
capture region (see Figure IAP-3-1 and Figure IAP-3-2) for that waypoint, or
NOTE: The first track of a GNSS procedure must be joined using the tracking guidance
provided by the GNSS 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 change at the IF does not exceed 45°.

NOTE: The first track of a GPS procedure must be joined using the tracking guidance provi-
ded by the GPS receiver.

3.5 DESCENT
3.5.1 For a straight approach (no reversal procedure), the aircraft must:
a. for a radio navaid-based approach, cross the fix or facility; or
b. for an area navigation-based approach, pass the waypoint, and when established on the
specified track, descend to not below the specified altitude.
3.5.2 For an approach which incorporates a reversal procedure, if an outbound descent is speci-
fied, the descent to the specified altitude may be commenced after the aircraft has crossed the fix

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

or facility and is established on the specified track or has turned to a heading to intercept the
specified outbound track. The reversal procedure must be completed, again descending to any
lower altitude specified. Further descent, after the reversal procedure, must not be started until
established on the inbound track. For approaches without a FAF, the final segment commences
at the completion of the reversal procedure.
NOTE: “Established” means being within half full scale deflection for the ILS, VOR and GNSS,
within +/-5 degrees of the required bearing for the NDB, or within +/-2 NM of the DME arc.
3.5.3 Aircraft may commence a segment in excess of the specified commencement altitude pro-
vided that any upper altitude limitation is observed. However, rate of descent after the FAF should
not normally exceed 1,000 ft per minute.
3.5.4 Descent Gradients
3.5.4.1 Procedures are designed with the following descent gradients:

GRADIENT
SEGMENT
NORMAL MAXIMUM
Arrival As Required As Required
Initial 4% 8%
Intermediate Level 5%
5.2% (non-precision) 6.5%
Final
3 degrees (precision) Not Applicable

NOTE 1: The approach chart will indicate when other than a normal gradient is used in the final
segment.
NOTE 2: For procedures published with a distance / altitude scale, a 3 degree glide-slope is used
in calculating the descent data.

3.6 WIND EFFECT


3.6.1 Allowance should be made in heading and timing to compensate for the effects of wind.
Full use should be made of indications available from the aid and estimated or known winds.

3.7 BANK ANGLE


3.7.1 Procedures are based on a bank angle of 25 degrees, or a bank angle which will produce
a Rate One turn, whichever is less.

3.8 DME ARCS


3.8.1 DME arcs must be joined at or before an IAF and at an altitude not below the relevant
MSA or the appropriate sector DME arrival step.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1860
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.9 REVERSAL PROCEDURES


3.9.1 Reversal procedures are used to establish the aircraft inbound on an intermediate or final
approach track at the desired altitude. A reversal procedure consists of an outbound track fol-
lowed by a turning manoeuvre in order to reverse direction onto the inbound track. The procedure
can be a procedure turn or a base turn.
3.9.2 Reversal procedures are described and illustrated as follows:
a. Procedure Turn (45°/180°) — Consisting of a specified outbound track and timing from the
facility or fix, a 45° turn away from the outbound track for 1 minute from the start of turn for
categories A and B aircraft (1 minute 15 seconds for categories C, D and E aircraft), followed
by a 180° turn in the opposite direction to intercept the inbound track. The 45°/180° proce-
dure turn is an alternative to the 80°/260° procedure turn unless specifically excluded.

Figure IAP-3-3

b. Procedure Turn (80°/260°) — Consisting of a specified outbound track and timing from the
facility or fix, an 80° turn away from the outbound track, followed by a turn of 260° in the
opposite direction to intercept the inbound track. The 80°/260° procedure turn is an alterna-
tive to the 45°/180° procedure turn unless specifically excluded.

Figure IAP-3-4

NOTE: Some instrument approach procedures require a procedure turn after passing over a
navigation aid or fix. Where this requirement exists, the turn must be initiated immediately
after passing over the navigation aid or fix.
c. Base Turn — Consisting of a specified outbound track and timing or DME distance from a
facility, followed by a turn to intercept the inbound track. The outbound track and/or time may
be different for differing aircraft performance categories.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1861
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

Figure IAP-3-5

3.9.3 Entry — Reversal procedures must be entered from a track within +/-30 degrees of the
outbound track of the reversal procedure. However, for base turns, where the +/-30 degree direct
entry sector does not include the reciprocal of the inbound track, the entry sector is expanded to
include it. Where entry is required from tracks outside these limits, manoeuvring to establish the
aircraft onto the outbound track must be in accordance with the entry procedures associated with
the holding pattern.

3.10 MISSED APPROACH – STANDARD PROCEDURES


3.10.1 A missed approach must be executed if:
a. during the final segment of an instrument approach, the aircraft is not maintained within the
applicable navigation tolerance for the aid in use; or
b. during an instrument approach and below the MSA (as specified on the approach chart), the
performance of the radio aid becomes suspect or the radio aid fails; or
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1862
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

c. visual reference is not established at or before reaching the MAP (non-precision) or DA/RH
(precision) from which the missed approach procedure commences; or
d. a landing cannot be effected from a runway approach, unless a circling approach can be
conducted in weather conditions equal to or better than those specified for circling; or
e. visual reference is lost while circling to land from an instrument approach.
NOTE 1: For the purpose of this paragraph “visual reference” means the runway threshold or
approach lights or other markings identifiable with the landing runway clearly visible to the pilot,
and either:
a. for circling approaches, clear of cloud, in sight of the ground or water and with a flight visibil-
ity not less than the minimum specified for circling; or
b. for runway approaches, a flight visibility or runway visual range not less than that specified
for the procedure.
NOTE 2: The missed approach is designed to provide a minimum obstacle clearance of 100 ft to
an aircraft climbing along the specified missed approach path at a gradient of 2.5% (152 ft/NM)
from the MAP (non-precision) or DA/RH (precision) from which the missed approach procedure
commences. If this missed approach climb gradient cannot be achieved, the DA, MDA or RH
should be increased, or other action taken, to achieve the required obstacle clearance along the
specified missed approach flight path.
3.10.2 In executing a missed approach, pilots must follow the missed approach procedure
specified for the instrument approach flown. In the event that a missed approach is initiated prior
to arriving at the MAP, pilots must fly the aircraft to the MAP and then follow the missed approach
procedure. The MAP in a procedure may be:
a. the point of intersection of an electronic glide path with the applicable DA; or
b. a navigation facility; or
c. a fix; or
d. a specified distance from the Final Approach Fix (FAF).
3.10.3 When a missed approach is required from visual circling, the expectation is that the pilot
will make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the aerodrome, where
the pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track. In as much as the cir-
cling maneuver may be accomplished in more than one direction, different patterns will be
required to establish the aircraft on the missed approach course depending on its position at the
time visual reference is lost.
3.10.4 If upon reaching the MAP, the required visual reference is not established, the pilot must
immediately initiate the published missed approach procedure or, where applicable, comply with
alternative ATC instructions. The phrase “or as directed by ATC” is included in published missed
approach instructions for applicable instrument approach procedures.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1863
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.10.5 A published missed approach procedure must not be flown unless commenced at the
MAP. If a missed approach climb is initiated before the MAP, the aircraft must track to the MAP
before commencing the missed approach procedure.

3.11 MISSED APPROACH TRACKING


A missed approach procedure may, or may not, specify lateral guidance. In either situation the
expectations of the pilot will vary as follows depending whether the procedure is based on a radio
navaid or GNSS:
a. When lateral guidance is specified with reference to a radio navaid (ie, a VOR radial, an
NDB bearing) the expectation is that the pilot will intercept the nominated track. Where an
intercept is required it will be both stated in the missed approach procedure’s text and shown
in the plan view on the procedure plate. The text will take the form of: “At the NDB (or VOR),
Turn Left (or Right) to intercept xxx ° (ZZ NDB or VOR). Climb to...”
b. When lateral guidance is specified based on GNSS the expectation of the pilot will take one
of two forms:
• For a straight missed approach or a turn at the MAPt, the pilot is expected to follow the
GNSS navigation commands to the next waypoint. The text will take the form of: ‘Turn Left
(or Right), Track DCT XXXXX. Climb to...’
• For a turn after the MAPt where there is not a subsequent waypoint the pilot is expected to
make-good the nominated track on the chart using the GNSS for navigation. The text will
take the form of: ‘Turn Left (or Right), Track xxx °. Climb to...’
c. When the instrument procedure is based on a radio navaid but the missed approach does
not specify lateral guidance the expectation is that the pilot will use DR to achieve the nomi-
nated track. Allowance for wind must be made to make-good this nominated track. The radio
navaid may be used to supplement track keeping during the missed approach when it is a
straight continuation of the final track, however guidance is not mandatory. The missed
approach procedure’s text will take the form of: ‘Turn Left (or Right), Track xxx °. Climb to...’

3.12
3.12 MISSED APPROACH REQUIREMENTS – GNSS
3.12.1 If a loss of RAIM or RAIM warning is indicated at any time after passing the Initial
Approach Fix, the pilot must immediately carry out a missed approach in accordance with pub-
lished procedures.
3.12.2 Provided the RAIM warning ceases when the missed approach is selected on the GPS
receiver, the GPS may be used for missed approach guidance.
3.12.3 Should the RAIM warning remain when the missed approach is selected, or should there
be any doubt about the accuracy of the GPS, then an alternative means of guidance or dead
reckoning must be used to fly the missed approach.

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.13 MISSED APPROACH – HELICOPTER PROCEDURES


3.13.1 Pilots flying a helicopter instrument approach procedure, or flying visually within a VAA-
H, must execute a missed approach if:
a. during the instrument approach and below MSA (as specified on the instrument chart) the
performance of the navigation aid becomes suspect, or the navigation aid fails; or
b. visual reference is not established at or before reaching the MAWP from which the published
missed approach procedure commences; or
c. visual reference is lost within the VAA-H; or
d. a landing at the HLS is not assured.
NOTE 1: For the purpose of this paragraph, “visual reference” means:
a. the key lead-in points or HLS are clearly visible to the pilot; and
b. clear of cloud, in sight of ground or water, and with a flight visibility:
– by day, not less than that specified for Helicopter VMC, and
– at night, not less than the published minimum visibility for the procedure.
NOTE 2: The missed approach is designed to provide a minimum obstacle clearance of 100 ft to
a helicopter climbing at a gradient of 2.5% (152 ft/NM) from the MAWP and, from MDA, any point
within the VAA-H to the Missed Approach Turning Waypoint (MATWP) or Missed Approach Hold-
ing Waypoint (MAHWP), as applicable. If this missed approach climb gradient cannot be ach-
ieved, the MDA should be increased, or other action taken, to achieve the required obstacle clear-
ance along the missed approach flight path.
3.13.2 In executing a missed approach from the VAA-H of a helicopter GPS approach, pilots
must immediately track towards the MATWP or the MAHWP, as required by the particular proce-
dure.

3.14 CIRCLING APPROACHES AND VISUAL CIRCLING


3.14.1 A circling approach is an instrument approach to the circling minima with the intent or
requirement from the minima to visually maneuver the aircraft to align with the runway for a land-
ing. Each circling situation is different because of variables such as runway layout, final approach
track, wind velocity and meteorological conditions. Therefore, there can be no single procedure
designed that will cater for the conduct of a circling approach in every situation.
3.14.2 The information provided by spot heights on approach charts must be treated with cau-
tion. Spot heights on approach charts do not necessarily indicate the highest terrain, or all obsta-
cles in the circling area and, in addition, the charts may not cover all of the circling area. Before
commencing an instrument approach, pilots should familiarize themselves with the location and
altitude of obstacles in the circling area by studying an appropriate topographic map.
3.14.3 During visual circling, descent below the MDA may only occur when the pilot:
a. maintains the aircraft within the circling area; and
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1865
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

b. maintains a visibility, along the intended flight path, not less than the minimum specified on
the chart for the procedure; and
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.
NOTE 1: The concept is as follows:
a. The pilot maintains visual contact with the landing runway while the aircraft is circled at MDA
to a position within the traffic pattern that intercepts a normal downwind, base or final
approach. If the MDA is above the downwind height, the pilot maintains MDA and downwind
spacing until he/she reaches a position from which it can descend at normal approach rates
to join base.
b. When daylight exists and obstacles can be seen, the pilot has the option of descending from
MDA from any position within the circling area while maintaining an obstacle clearance not
less than that required for the aircraft performance category.
c. Once the pilot initiates descent below circling MDA, the obstacle protection offered by visual
circling at the MDA ends and he/she is responsible for ensuring the required clearance from
obstacles is maintained visually.
NOTE 2: The pilot should maintain the maximum practical obstacle clearance. The minimum
obstacle clearance requirements are: Categories A and B – 300 ft; Categories C and D – 400 ft;
and Category E – 500 ft.
NOTE 3: The circling area is determined by drawing an arc centered on the threshold of each
usable runway and joining these arcs by tangents. The radii are 1.68 NM (3111m) for Category A;
2.66 NM (4926m) for Category B; 4.2 NM (7778m) for Category C; 5.28 NM (9779m) for Category
D; and 6.94 NM (12,853m) for Category E. Runways less than 1000 meters long are not consid-
ered usable for Categories C, D and E.

3.15 VISUAL MANEUVERING (NON-CIRCLING) SUBSEQUENT TO NON-


PRECISION APPROACHES (NPA) AND APPROACHES WITH
VERTICAL GUIDANCE (APV)
3.15.1 Straight-in NPAs and APVs do not normally require visual circling. In those circumstan-
ces where the NPA or APV does not serve the landing runway, the provisions of para 3.13 apply.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1866
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.15.2 Descent below the Straight-in MDA. Descent below the straight-in MDA or continuation of
the approach below the DA during APVs, may only occur when:
– visual reference can be maintained;
– all elements of the meteorological minima are equal to or greater than those published for the
aircraft performance category; and
– the aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to a landing on the intended
runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal flight maneuvers that will allow
touchdown to occur within the touchdown zone of the runway of intended landing.
3.15.3 NPA and APV Alignment. APVs are aligned with the runway centerline. Straight-in NPAs
may be aligned with the runway centerline or may be offset by up to 15° (Category C & D) or 30°
(Category A & B) (see Note 1).
3.15.4 Alignment with the Runway Centerline. Maneuvering to align the aircraft with the runway
centerline can be undertaken when:
– within the circling area,
– visual reference can be maintained,
– continuously in sight of ground or water.
NOTE 1: Procedures with offset angles greater than 5° are designed such that aircraft cross the
runway centerline no closer than 1,400M to the threshold.
For offset angles equal to or less than 5°, the final approach track is designed to be within 150
meters of the runway centerline at 1,400M. Some older procedures may use 900M in place of
1,400M.
NOTE 2: For the purpose of this section ‘visual reference’ means the runway threshold, or
approach lights or other markings identifiable with the landing runway clearly visible to the pilot
and a flight visibility not less than that specified for the procedure.

3.16 RESTRICTIONS ON VISUAL CIRCLING


3.16.1 Restrictions on Visual Circling
a. Where a prominent obstacle or obstacles within the circling area prevent visual circling the
sector in which the obstacles are located may be eliminated from the visual circling area.
Sectors which have been eliminated from the visual circling area are annotated ‘No Circling’.
b. Visual circling is prohibited in ‘no circling’ sectors by day in less than VMC and at night.
3.16.2 After initial visual contact, the basic assumption is that the runway environment (i.e. the
runway threshold or approach lighting aids or other markings identifiable with the runway) will be
kept in sight while at the MDA for circling (Reference: ATC 200 series).
3.16.3 The visual circling procedure conducted at or above the circling MDA will provide protec-
tion from obstacles within the circling area (see Note 1 c. and Note 3).
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1867

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.17 VISUAL SEGMENTS


3.17.1 When an instrument approach procedure specifies a visual segment from the point where
the MDA is reached to the circling area of the aerodrome, a missed approach shall be executed
unless the visual segment can be flown clear of cloud and in sight of the ground or water in
accordance with the altitude and visibility specified for circling.

3.18 VISUAL APPROACHES


3.18.1 Subject to the requirements of visual circling, missed approach and visual segments
paragraphs above, the pilot need not commence or may discontinue the approved instrument
approach procedure to that aerodrome when:
a. By Day — Within 30 NM of that aerodrome at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the
route segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GPS 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 or, in the case of a helicopter, is able to pro-
ceed under helicopter VMC, or the aerodrome is in sight; and
4. subsequently can maintain (1), (2) and (3) at an altitude not less than the minimum pre-
scribed for VFR flight (CAR 157), to within the circling area or, in the case of a helicop-
ter, can subsequently maintain helicopter VMC to the HLS.
b. By Night — At an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate
step of the DME or GPS 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. within the circling area or VAA-H, as applicable; or
5. within 5 NM (7 NM for a runway equipped with an ILS) of that aerodrome aligned with
the runway centerline and established not below “on slope” on the T-VASIS or PAPI; or
6. within 10 NM (14 NM for runways 16L and 34L at Sydney Intl) of that aerodrome, estab-
lished not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
NOTE: Reference to circling area in this section includes the circling area for the category of air-
craft or a higher category where the limitations of the higher category are complied with.

3.19 VISUAL APPROACH AREA — HELICOPTER


3.19.1 Helicopter GNSS instrument approach procedures include a Visual Approach Area — H
(VAA-H) which extends from the Missed Approach Waypoint (MAWP) to the HLS. Obstacle clear-
ance at MDA is assured within a VAA-H.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1868
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

3.19.2 The VAA-H comprises a 1 NM wide corridor centered on the track from the MAWP to the
HLS, plus the area beyond the HLS contained within a 0.5 NM radius centered on the HLS.

Figure IAP-3.9

3.19.3 Flight within a VAA-H is a visual maneuver. After visual contact is established, and after
passing the MAWP, the helicopter is maneuvered within the VAA-H, at an altitude not below the
MDA, utilizing key lead-in points until the HLS is sighted.
3.19.4 Descent below the MDA may only occur when the pilot:
a. maintains the helicopter within the VAA-H; and
b. maintains visibility along the intended flight path:
1. by day, not less than that specified for helicopter VMC, and
2. at night, not less than the published minimum visibility for the procedure; and
c. maintains visual contact with key lead-in points (i.e., lighting or other prominent identifiable
features) or the HLS; and
d. while complying with a., b. and c., intercepts a normal approach path to the HLS for the par-
ticular helicopter and a landing is assured.

4 AERODROME METEOROLOGICAL MINIMA


4.1 CEILING AND VISIBILITY MINIMA
4.1.1 The ceiling and visibility minima prescribed in this part are the meteorological conditions
under which an aircraft may take-off or land at an aerodrome. The meteorological conditions for a
particular aerodrome are below the minima for the aerodrome when, in the airspace encompass-
ing the intended flight path:
4.1.1.1
a. the total cloud amount below the ceiling minimum specified is greater than SCT; or
b. the visibility is continuously below the visibility specified.
NOTE: MDA equals ceiling minimum plus the aerodrome elevation.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1869
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

4.2 RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE AND RUNWAY VISIBILITY


4.2.1 In Australia, Runway Visual Range (RVR) observations are based solely on the informa-
tion provided 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 included in METAR and SPECI reports.
4.2.2 At places not equipped with RVR sensors or where one or more RVR sensors are unserv-
iceable, 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.
4.2.3 An RV assessment is NOT a substitute for a required RVR observation and CANNOT be
used:
a. for Category II and III precision approaches, or
b. for Category 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.
4.2.4 Pilots will be notified by ATIS broadcast or directed transmission if RVR/RV is not availa-
ble when visibility is less than 800m.
4.2.5 See Communications, Meteorological Information for the relevant RVR/RV phraseologies.

4.7 LANDING MINIMA


4.7.1 Aerodromes without Approved Instrument Approach Procedures
IFR Day – visual approach requirements.
IFR Night – VMC from LSALT within 3 NM.
4.7.2 Aerodromes with Approved Non-Precision Approach Procedures
IFR Day and Night – minima specified in the relevant Instrument Approach Chart. However if the
installed HIAL on a runway is not available, the landing visibility minima for a Localiser (LOC)
approach must be increased by 900m.
4.7.3 Aerodromes with Approved Precision Approach CAT I Procedures
Published ILS CAT I DA and visibility minima may be used, except that:
a. minimum visibility 1.5km is required when precision approach CAT I lighting system (also
known as HIAL) is not available; and
b. minimum visibility 1.2km is required unless:
1. the aircraft is manually flown at least to the CAT I DA using a flight director or approved
HUDLS; or the aircraft is flown to the CAT I DA with an autopilot coupled (LOC and
GP); and
2. the aircraft is equipped with a serviceable failure warning system for the primary attitude
and heading reference systems; and
3. high intensity runway edge lighting is available.
c. minimum visibility 0.8km is required if instrumented RVR information in the threshold zone is
not available.
d. A380 operators must use LOC MDA instead of the published ILS DA. ILS CAT I DA may be
used at Darwin, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Alice Springs, Perth, Adelaide and Townsville
where specific calculations have been confirmed.

Published ILS CAT II/III minima may be used, but only by aircraft operators approved by CASA.
NOTE 1: Operators of Australian registered aircraft wishing to operate to CAT II/III minima outside
Australia must also be approved by CASA.
NOTE 2: Approval requires operators to satisfactorily address aircraft equipment and mainte-
nance; pilot minimum experience requirements; pilot ground, simulator and flight training; pilot
competency and recency; aerodrome and runway assessment methods, in addition to any opera-
tional restrictions and/or local regulatory authority requirements.

4.7.5 Correction of Instrument Procedure Minima for Non-Standard


Temperatures
Pressure altimeters are calibrated to indicate true altitude under ISA standard conditions. Any
deviation from ISA will result in an erroneous altimeter reading. In cold conditions the true altitude
will be lower than the indicated altitude and will reduce the obstacle clearance margins incorpora-
ted into instrument procedures. Published landing minima do not make any allowance for non-
standard temperatures at the QNH source (usually the aerodrome of destination). This effect, and
various methods to address it, is discussed in ICAO Doc 8168, Vol I (PANS-OPS), Part III, Sec-
tion 1, Chapter 4. A correction must be added to the published MDA or DA and procedure alti-
tudes when the temperature at the aerodrome of landing is less than ISA –15° C. Altitude correc-
tions can be determined by charts Figure 1 and 2 and the worked example shown below.

4.8 LOW VISIBILITY OPERATIONS


4.8.1 A low visibility operation is an operation involving:
a. an approach with minima less than precision approach CAT I; or
b. a take-off with visibility below 550m.
4.8.2 Aircraft operators may conduct low visibility operations only if specifically approved by
CASA. Approvals are granted in the form of an exemption to the standard IFR take-off and
approach minima and will be subject to specified requirements.

4.9 LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES


4.9.1 Low Visibility Procedures (LVPs) are applied at controlled aerodromes for protecting air-
craft operations during conditions of reduced visibility or low cloud. LVPs are initiated when the
visibility on an aerodrome becomes insufficient for ATC to control aerodrome traffic by visual sur-
veillance. Various LVP measures are progressively implemented as the weather deteriorates.
4.9.2 Pilots will be notified that low visibility procedures are in force by ATIS broadcast or direc-
ted transmissions.
NOTE: Despite aerodromes notifying low visibility procedures in force, ILS sensitive area protec-
tion is only provided at aerodromes with published ILS CAT II or III approach procedures. See
Protection of ILS Critical and Sensitive Areas for limits on ILS critical and sensitive area protec-
tion.
4.9.3 Pilots will be notified by ATIS broadcast or directed transmission if one or more RVR sen-
sors are not available when visibility is less than 800m.

5 APPLICATION OF AERODROME METEOROLOGICAL MINIMA


5.1 PILOT RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1.1 Prior to take-off and when an aircraft reaches the DA, MDA or RH, the pilot-in-command is
responsible for assessing whether the meteorological conditions are equal to or better than the
minimum prescribed for take-off or landing as applicable. A pilot must not take-off or, except in an
emergency, land or continue an approach below the prescribed DA, MDA or RH for the approach
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1875
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

being conducted when any element of the prescribed meteorological criteria is continuously less
than the minima for the aircraft performance category (CAR 257).

5.2 ATC ASSESSMENT


5.2.1 While the decision to operate is solely that of the pilot-in-command, ATC will provide the
pilot-in-command with an assessment of ceiling and/or visibility as follows:
a. Take-off — Ceiling and visibility will be assessed in the airspace enclosing the expected
path of the aircraft during take-off and initial climb.
b. Landing — Ceiling and visibility will be assessed in the airspace enclosing the expected
final approach path and runway to be used.

5.3 QNH SOURCES


5.3.1 Prior to passing the IAF, pilots are required to set either:
a. the actual aerodrome QNH from an approved source, or
b. the forecast Terminal QNH, or
c. the forecast area QNH.
5.3.2 The landing, circling, and alternate minima for many Australian instrument approach and
DME or GPS arrival procedures were calculated using forecast aerodrome QNH. These minima
may be reduced by 100 ft whenever actual aerodrome QNH is obtained. At locations where fore-
cast QNH was used in the minima calculation, 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 aerodrome 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.
5.3.3 Where the forecast area QNH is used, the forecast Terminal QNH minima used must be
increased by 50 ft.

6 ALTERNATE WEATHER MINIMA


6.1 IFR FLIGHTS
6.1.1 Each approach chart shows the ceiling and visibility minima to be compared with the mete-
orological forecasts and reports to determine both the need to provide for an alternate aerodrome
and the suitability of an aerodrome as an alternate. (Jeppesen minima will be shown on the Air-
port pages.)
NOTE: Requirements for an aerodrome without an instrument approach procedure are detailed in
Airports and Ground Aids, Alternate Aerodromes.

6.2 SPECIAL ALTERNATE WEATHER MINIMA


6.2.1 Special alternate weather minima are available for specified approaches at some aero-
dromes for use by aircraft with dual ILS/VOR approach capability; i.e., with duplicated LOC, G/P,
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1876
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES

marker, and VOR receivers. The requirement for duplicated marker receivers may be satisfied by
one marker receiver and DME. (The assumption is that such aircraft will also have two ADF sys-
tems when an NDB is used for the ILS.)
6.2.2 Special alternate minima will not be available, and will revert to the standard alternate
minima, during periods when:
a. local METAR/SPECI or forecasting services are not available; or
b. an aerodrome control service is not provided.
The non-availability of MET or ATS services will be notified by NOTAM.
6.2.3 Where:
a. there is a protracted unserviceability (i.e.; more than seven days) of any one VHF approach
aid; or
b. facilities required for the conduct of a VHF-based instrument approach and landing are
unserviceable or not available, Airservices Australia will, if necessary, advise the non-availa-
bility of, or any revision to, special alternate minima by NOTAM.
EXAMPLE: All altitude information has been calculated for ISA conditions. Correction to altitudes/
heights shown on procedures must be made when the temperature at the QNH source (usually
the destination aerodrome) is less than ISA –15°. Correction can be added in accordance with the
charts shown below, as appropriate.
NOTE: The example shown is an aerodrome at 2000ft elevation reporting a surface temperature
of –9°C. The procedure IAF is at 5250ft (3250ft HAA) and DA at 2400ft (400ft DH). At 2000ft aero-
drome elevation, ISA –15° is –4°C, therefore a correction should be applied. The correction is: to
IAF, add 250ft; to DA add 30ft.
