STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR ADIZ FLIGHTS
TRAFFIC CONFLICTS
Numerous aircraft operate within the Pacific theater without filing VFR or IFR Flight Plans. Air-
crews operating outside ATC radar coverage may lessen traffic conflict potential by utilizing Radar
Advisory Service from the nearest Radar station.
f. Pilots must immediately notify ATS of any deviation from flight plan beyond the following tol-
erances:
1. estimated time of commencing the ADIZ route segments - plus or minus 5 minutes;
2. over land area - plus or minus 10 miles from track;
3. over oceanic areas - plus or minus 20 miles from track.
NOTE: The 5 minutes expressed above will be used in considering intercept action, but
pilots must report predicted deviations of greater than two (2) minutes.
g. In case of failure of two-way radio communication, the pilot must proceed in accordance with
the normal radio failure procedures.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Special requirements may be published relative to a particular ADIZ. Flights exempted in accord-
ance with paragraph c. above will not be exempted from the special requirements unless so
specified.
NON-COMPLIANCE
Significant deviations from the requirements for flight in an ADIZ must be reported immediately to
ATS and details and reasons for the deviation must be reported at the first point of landing, for
transmission to the Area Air Defense Commander.
The Ministry of National Defense of the People’s Republic of China is the administrative organ of
the East China Sea ADIZ.
The competent office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) responsible for pro-
cessing flight plans is:
Operation Management Center of ATMB
Fax: +86 10 6513 5983
SITA: BJSZGCA
AFTN: ZBBBZGZX
Civil aviation scheduled flights, and any non-scheduled flights including extra scheduled flights,
chartered flights, ferry flights and business flights shall submit flight plan to Air Traffic Control
Department of CAAC.
State flights, VIP chartered flights, and the transport flights of weapon and ammunition operated
by civil aircraft shall submit flight plan to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People’s Republic of
China.
The flight plan shall be submitted in the format of FPL to the address of Air Traffic Control Depart-
ment: ZBBBZGZX, ZSACZQZX.
Aircraft shall comply with the following procedures while operating within the KADIZ except when
operating is conducted in accordance with procedures designated by the Minister of Defense after
obtaining the permission:
a. Aircraft shall establish two-way air-ground radio communications and monitor continuous
voice communications with an appropriate air traffic control or military unit.
b. Aircraft shall operate Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) transponders and set the SSR
codes directed by air traffic control or military authority concerned.
Aircraft shall give position reports to the Minister of Defense while operating within KADIZ. In
cases where flying is conducted in controlled airspace according to the filed flight plan as speci-
fied in the paragraphs above, position reports contained in items a and b may be omitted.
a. If flying in controlled airspace, ETA at KADIZ boundary point shall be given when a position
report is made at the last reporting point prior to entering the KADIZ.
b. If flying outside controlled airspace, aircraft shall give the ETA at the KADIZ boundary point
of penetration and altitude at least 15 and no more than 30 minutes prior to entering the
KADIZ.
c. Position reports shall be made every 30 minutes while within the KADIZ.
g. In respect of all flights conducted off airways aircraft shall contact ATCC at least 10 minutes
before entering the ADIZ giving the ETA over ADIZ boundary and requesting ADC.
h. Frequencies to be used shall be the normal air/ground communication frequencies.
c. Any non-tactical aircraft that chartered for a special seaward mission is allowed to call
“STAR GAZER” for Control Report Center directly on 121.5 MHz for position when deems
report necessary.
d. Aircraft will be intercepted by the Chinese Air Force interceptors, if:
1. Aircraft do not adhere to the Air Defense Identification Procedures or to the Air Traffic
Control Regulation and Procedures.
2. 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, deviate 20 NM from the
centerline of the airway; or 2000 feet difference from the assigned altitude; or any other
deviations.
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.
GUAM
Due to traffic congestion within the Oakland CTA/FIR north, south, and west of the airspace
delegated to Guam CERAP (a 250 NM radius of N1332/E14455), preferred routings have been
established for all turbojet aircraft at or above FL280 operating within the Oakland CTA/FIR
north, south, or west of the Guam CTA. The following are the Guam area preferential routings
within the Oakland Oceanic CTA/FIR. Aircraft operators must ensure that these preferential
routes are indicated in Field 15 of the ICAO standard flight plan unless following published UPR
Procedures. The acronym FPRD means flight plan route to destination.
Aircraft within the Oakland CTA/FIR and transiting the Guam CERAP delegated airspace must
flight plan to enter/exit Guam Center airspace on an appropriate ATS route(s) or other establish-
ed compulsory reporting points (e.g., FATUM or JOBSS).
With the exception of aircraft flight planned via Oceania UPR procedures, operators flight plan-
ning at or above FL280 with filed routes other than those described above should expect to be
re-routed to the preferential route. Requests for alternate routes will be considered on a real-time
basis as traffic conditions permit. However, aircraft should file for and be prepared to fly the en-
tire preferential route. Aircraft operating EAST of 150E longitude will not be affected.

VOR equipped aircraft should file VOR airways.
NOTE 2: RNAV capable aircraft should file RNAV routes.
NOTE 3: RNAV capable aircraft should file flight plan CDR routes when CDR routes are available.
NOTE 4: “;” means the routes of flight connects to the following “~” routes.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 124

PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES
include: G583, B757, R341, G469, A342, G215, R330, R336, R338, and G349 (For west-
bound use only).
e. NOPAC REROUTES
Aircraft cannot always be accommodated on their flight planned NOPAC route. In an effort to
reduce both coordination time and coordination errors, JCAB (Fukuoka ATMC) and FAA
(Anchorage ARTCC) have agreed on a common procedure to accommodate most reroutes.
Aircraft rerouted from one NOPAC ATC route to another NOPAC ATC route will be given
short range clearances into the adjoining FIR's RADAR coverage airspace. The receiving
ATC facility will then issue further routing to the aircraft prior to the aircraft reaching the
clearance limit. Example 1: aircraft ABC101 is routed via R220 to RJTT but can not be
accommodated on R220. The aircraft may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC101 cleared to
OATIS via R580, expect further clearance from ATMC after OMOTO.” Example 2: aircraft
ABC102 is routed via A590 to PAFA but can not be accommodated on A590. The aircraft
may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC102 cleared to SYA via R591, expect further routing from
Anchorage ARTCC after AKISU.”
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
a. Aircraft entering the NOPAC Route System may use:
1. R220 at all times utilizing even cardinal altitudes from FL180 to FL400 and FL330,
FL350, FL370, FL390, FL410 with the following guidelines:
(a) Flights departing PANC or PAED shall flight plan NODLE thence R220.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 127
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES
(b) Flights departing from all other airports within the Anchorage FIR and flights cross-
ing the Edmonton/Anchorage, Vancouver/Anchorage, or Oakland/Anchorage FIR
boundary shall flight plan via the current daily Westbound PACOTS track message
or via the current Anchorage ARTCC (PAZA) User Preferred Route (UPR)
NOTAM.
2. R580 at all times utilizing even cardinal altitudes from FL180 to FL400 and FL350 and
FL370 with the following guidelines:
(a) Aircraft departing PANC or PAED shall flight plan NODLE R220 NICHO thence
R580.
(b) Flights departing from all other airports within the Anchorage FIR and flights cross-
ing the Edmonton/Anchorage, Vancouver/Anchorage, or Oakland/Anchorage FIR
boundary shall flight plan via the current daily Westbound PACOTS track message
or the current Anchorage ARTCC (PAZA) User Preferred Route (UPR) NOTAM.
3. R591 utilizing even cardinal altitudes from FL300 to FL400 with the following guidelines:
(a) Only when R591 is designated as a Westbound PACOTS track.
(b) As specified in the daily Westbound PACOTS track message or the current
Anchorage ARTCC (PAZA) User Preferred Route (UPR) NOTAM.
(c) Must cross AKISU between 0000Z and 0600Z.
4. G344 utilizing even cardinal altitudes from FL300 to FL400 with the following guidelines:
(a) Only when G344 is designated as a Westbound PACOTS track.
(b) As specified in the daily Westbound PACOTS track message or the current
Anchorage ARTCC (PAZA) User Preferred Route (UPR) NOTAM.
(c) Must cross CUTEE between 0000Z and 0600Z.
(d) When R591 is designated as a Westbound PACOTS track, but G344 is not, G344
will be available eastbound at and below FL290 only, between 2200Z and 0600Z.
b. Due to route crossing in a non-radar environment, westbound arrivals destined for RJCC
(Sapporo/New Chitose), RJCH (Kakodate), or RJSM (Misawa), as well as other westbound
aircraft leaving the NOPAC Route System via V51, must file via R220.
EASTBOUND
a. Aircraft transitioning the NOPAC Route System eastbound to North America or Europe may
use:
1. A590 at all times utilizing odd cardinal altitudes from FL190 to FL410 and FL300, FL320
and FL340. Above FL410, altitudes will be assigned as per ICAO Annex 2, Appendix
3b.
2. R591 at all times unless it has been designated as a Westbound PACOTS track. R591
is then available eastbound between 0900Z and 2100Z. Odd cardinal altitudes FL190
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 128
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES
and FL410 are utilized. Above FL410, altitudes are assigned as per ICAO Annex 2,
Appendix 3b.
3. G344 at all times unless it or R591 has been designated a Westbound PACOTS track.
G344 is available eastbound from 0900Z to 2100Z only, if It has been designated a
Westbound PACOTS track. When R591 is designated a westbound PACOTS track but
G344 is not, G344 will be available eastbound at and below FL290 only, between
2200Z and 0600Z.
TWO-WAY ROUTES
(check the North America-Japan PACOTS Track Message for daily route usage):
a. R591 may be used as a westbound track for flights crossing AKISU between 0000Z and
0600Z when designated as a Westbound PACOTS track. R591 is closed to all traffic from
2101Z to 2359Z and from 0601Z to 0859Z when designated as a Westbound PACOTS track.
b. G344 may be used as a westbound track for flights crossing CUTEE between 0000Z and
0600Z when designated as a Westbound PACOTS track. G344 is closed to all traffic from
2101Z to 2359Z and from 0601Z to 0859Z when designated as a Westbound PACOTS track.
G344 is closed to eastbound traffic at or above FL310 from 2000Z to 0600Z when R591 is
designated as a Westbound PACOTS track.
RESTRICTIONS
a. An aircraft must not transition from one NOPAC Route to another except under the following
conditions:
1. The aircraft is on a published PACOTS track or,
2. The aircraft is abeam or east of SPY.
b. An aircraft flying a published eastbound PACOTS track must not diverge from that PACOTS
track until it is abeam or east of SPY.
c. An aircraft transitioning the NOPAC during the Eastbound PACOTS period, not participating
in the PACOTS, must remain on or north of the northern-most PACOTS track.
ENROUTE DATA - PACIFIC 129
PACIFIC
PACIFIC FLIGHT PLAN/PREFERRED ROUTES
b. Aircraft may file to leave or join an outer PACOTS track at any way point or reporting point.
When in leaving case, aircraft should file route that diverge, within 10 degrees of longitude,
at least 50 NM (100 NM for non-RNP10 aircraft) from the nearest PACOTS track. Flight level
assignment in joining case will be based on traffic.
NON-PARTICIPATING AIRCRAFT
a. Random routes are permitted, at FL280 and below, except for NOPAC route.
b. Routes that are at least 50 NM (100 NM for non-RNP10 aircraft) away from any PACOTS
tracks are permitted. In this case, altitude restrictions may be applied until lateral separation
exists between the route and any PACOTS tracks.
ATC Procedures
For flight planning and initial clearance, crossing between PACOTS tracks will not be permitted.
Once established in the PACOTS, track changes may be approved as traffic permits.
Aircraft should not expect climb into the PACOTS unless filed on a route corresponding to a
PACOTS track. In this case, climb into the PACOTS will be approved as traffic permits.
The minimum longitudinal separation between aircraft crossing the Fukuoka FIR boundary on the
same route and altitude will be 10 minutes using mach number technique.
Certain restrictions may be placed for non-PACOTS and counter flying traffic.

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:

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

CPDLC COVERAGE
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).
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.
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
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.
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.

AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)
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.

AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)
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.

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).
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. GBAS Landing System (GLS) – (Polarization GBAS/H);
i. Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN) (military locations);
j. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) (FANS-1/A); and
k. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) (1090 MHz Extended Squitter).
1.2 IDENTIFICATION
Radio navigation aids serving the same location normally radiate the same identification codes.
Further, at ILS/localizer installations, the normal identification is preceded by the letter “I”; and at
private non-accredited NDBs, a four letter identifier is radiated, the first letter being “X”.
1.2.2 A GBAS station is identified by the relevant Airport’s 4 letter ICAO code where the GBAS
is installed (e.g. YSSY). Approaches provided from the GBAS station are identified by the Refer-
ence Path ID field in the Final Approach Segment (FAS) data blocks. The Reference Path ID is
unique to the approach to be used and published on the Approach Plate for the runway. Each
Reference Path ID commences with the letter “G”.
2 NON-DIRECTIONAL BEACONS
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.
6.1.3 A GLS currently supports precision approach operations with minima as low as CAT I, but
with the future potential for supporting CAT II and III operations. A GLS consists of a GBAS
ground station located on or in the vicinity of one or more airports and an aircraft subsystem. The
GBAS provides data and corrections for the GNSS ranging signals over a digital VHF data broad-
cast to the aircraft subsystem. The aircraft subsystem translates the position signal into flight
guidance similar to that provided for an ILS.
CAUTION: ILS
1. False courses may exist or course reversals may occur outside the sector 35° (or 20°
at certain airports) either side of the ILS localizer course.
2. Back beam radiation of an ILS LOC can be received and displayed on aircraft naviga-
tion instrumentation. Pilots should be alert to this possibility at locations providing
ILS/LOC approaches on reciprocal runways.
6.2 FAILURES
In the event of failure of an associated NDB, aircraft must join the ILS outside the outer marker as
directed by NOTAM or ATC.
For ILS operation where the glide path fails, only the localizer procedure is available.
Where marker beacons are not available, aircraft may use the ILS if the alternate fixes nominated
on the IAL chart or by NOTAM are used for altimeter checks.
6.2.4 GBAS. If GBAS fails GLS approaches are not available.
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.
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.
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: RNAV (GNSS) NPA and RNP APCH-LNAV are the same.
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. GBAS 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-C129,
C129a, C145a, C146a or C196 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 receiv-
ers and prediction tools for these applications on the basis of equivalent safety performance.
NOTE: If a TSO-C129 or TSO-C129a receiver is used, and if an alternate is required to be nomi-
nated, an instrument approach utilizing ground based navigation aids must be available at the
alternate.
5.5.5.4 The following table summarizes the airworthiness and operational requirements for IFR
applications of GNSS:

5.5.6 CAO 20.91 provides for approved stand-alone GNSS installations to be deemed to have
an operational authorization when the installation meets the requirements of AC 21-36 or CAAP
35-1. The pilot must be authorized under CASR Part 61 to conduct a flight under the IFR using

CAO 20.91 deeming provisions are specified below:
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 352
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.

2 AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY
2.1 The area of responsibility of the BoM covers Australian-administered airspace and Austral-
ian 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 air-
ports for which they are responsible.
c. Defence Weather Service Office (DWSO). DWSOs provide forecasts and warnings for at
least the local airport. They also supply and display meteorological information and provide
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.

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, facsimile and electronic briefing sys-
tems from the National Operations Centre (NOC) Pilot Briefing Office, located in Canberra. Con-
tact details are:
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.
4 METEOROLOGICAL BRIEFING

8.5 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 when variations from the forecast mean conditions are expected to last for
periods of 30 minutes or more but less than 60 minutes in each instance, and which in the
aggregate are not expected to cover more than half the given period, i.e. the variations take
place sufficiently infrequently such that the mean conditions remain those of the preceding
part of the forecast.
b. INTER is used when variations from the forecast mean conditions are expected to last for
periods less than 30 minutes in each instance and which, in the aggregate, are not expected
to cover more than half the given period, i.e. the variations take place throughout the period
sufficiently infrequently such that the mean conditions remain those of the preceding part of
the forecast.

8.6 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.
8.7 PROB% is used in TAF to indicate an expected 30 or 40% probability of occurrence. PROB
is not used in TTF.
10 FORECAST AMENDMENTS
10.1 Amendments to forecasts are issued as necessary when changes are expected during the
period of validity of a given forecast.
wind shear may also be increasing in intensity, making flight through the wind shear more danger-
ous for following traffic.
11.2.1.1 Due to cockpit workload, reports may be initially reported as WIND SHEAR ESCAPE
and a full report provided when workload allows.
11.2.1.2 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
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.
11.2.2 At non-controlled airports, the report should also be broadcast to all aircraft on the CTAF
and should include the name of the airport.
11.2.3 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.
12.2 LOCATION
12.2.1 The location is indicated by the ICAO location indicator, the place name or the approved
abbreviation.
12.5 AUTO
12.5.1 This group will be included when the METAR/SPECI contains only automated observa-
tions, which may include visibility, present weather, and cloud.
12.5.2 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.
12.6 WIND
12.6.1 Wind direction is rounded to the nearest 10 degrees and is given in three (3) figures relat-
ing to True North.
12.6.2 Wind speeds are given in two (2) figures.
12.6.3 When the wind is calm, the group is encoded as 00000KT.
12.6.4 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.
12.6.5 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.
12.6.6 At some airports, an additional wind group will be given in METAR/SPECI when the
direction varies by 60° or more during the sampling period (normally ten minutes). The group
gives the extreme range of directions in clockwise order, e.g. 360V090.

12.7 VISIBILITY
12.7.1 In TAF, the prevailing visibility (the greatest visibility covering more than half the airport)
is always given.
12.7.2 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.
12.7.3 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.
12.7.4 A visibility of 10km or more is given by 9999.
12.9.4 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.
12.9.5 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.
12.9.6 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.
12.9.7 When the RVR value is assessed to be greater than 2000 meters, the group VVVV will
be reported as P2000, e.g. R32L/P2000.
12.9.8 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.
12.9.9 When the RVR value is assessed to be less than 50 meters, the group VVVV will be
reported as M0050, e.g. R32L/M0050.
12.12 CLOUD
12.12.1 Cloud height is reported in hundreds of feet using three figures; eg, 700 ft is reported as
007.
12.12.2 Cloud amount is reported using the following abbreviations:
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 526
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS
12.12.3 Nil cloud is reported as SKC (sky clear). Cloud information is not included in a forecast if
the sky is clear.
12.12.4 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.
12.12.5 Type of cloud is identified only for cumulonimbus and towering cumulus observed at or
near the airport. 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.
12.12.6 Whenever cumulonimbus cloud is forecast, the degree of associated thunderstorm
activity or probability of occurrence is included.
12.12.7 A clear sky may be indicated in a report by SKC or NSC.
12.13 CAVOK
12.13.1 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 5000 ft or below the highest 25 NM 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.
12.13.2 In METAR/SPECI, whenever a total of BKN or more low or middle-level cloud is at or
above 5000 ft, and CAVOK has been reported, the cloud amount and base will be given after the
RMK indicator.

METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
1 METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS
1.1 AERODROME WEATHER REPORTS
Aerodrome Weather Reports are reports of observations of meteorological conditions at an air-
port. The reports are generated by electronic recording devices called automatic weather stations
(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 ARP.
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.

2 METEOROLOGICAL ADVICES
2.1 SIGMET
2.1.1 A SIGMET is a concise description of the occurrence or expected occurrence, in an area
over which area meteorological watch is maintained, of specified phenomena which may affect
the safety of aircraft operations. They are issued for the following phenomena:
2.1.2 SIGMETs for thunderstorms are only issued when the thunderstorms 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 clouds and covering more than
75% of the area affected, or
d. squall line (SQL) thunderstorms, i.e. thunderstorms along a line of about 100 NM or more in
length with little or no separation between clouds.
2.1.3 SIGMETs for thunderstorms do not include reference to cumulonimbus clouds or associ-
ated icing and turbulence as their presence is implied.
2.1.4 SIGMETs for tropical cyclones include reference to the height of cumulonimbus tops but
no reference is made to thunderstorms and associated icing and turbulence as their presence is
implied.
2.1.5 SIGMETs for mountain waves are issued when accompanying downdrafts of 600 ft/min or
more are estimated
2.1.6 SIGMET for turbulence refers to low-level turbulence associated with strong surface
winds, to rotor streaming or to turbulence near jet streams.
2.1.7 Pilots in command of aircraft encountering any of the above phenomena for which a
SIGMET has not been issued must report details of the phenomenon in an AIREP SPECIAL.
2.1.8 SIGMETs are issued by MET forecasters and disseminated by ATS as an element of ATC
initiated FIS to aircraft operating on routes or in areas likely to be affected. This information will
normally relate the phenomenon reported to designated reporting points, and where possible will
indicate the area in which the phenomenon exists.
2.1.9 SIGMET for volcanic ash cloud and tropical cyclones is issued for the whole of the Mel-
bourne and Brisbane FIRs (YMMM and YBBB).
2.1.10 SIGMET for turbulence or icing at and above FL185 are issued for the whole of YBBB,
and for YMMM to 50°S.
2.1.11 SIGMET for phenomena below FL185 (other than tropical cyclones and volcanic ash) are
issued for the shaded area shown below.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 536
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
2.2.2 FIR gives the abbreviation of the Flight Information Region (YMMM or YBBB) for which the
SIGMET is issued.
2.2.3 The message identifier is SIGMET.
2.2.4 The three-character sequence number (e.g. A01) consists of:
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 537
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
a. A single alpha character that will be assigned to the SIGMET event (e.g. severe icing). This
character will be used for any subsequent SIGMETs issued for that event within the FIR.
There will not be two Australian SIGMETs current with the same alpha character, even if
they refer to the same event which is occurring across the two FIRs (refer examples at
2.2.14)
b. A two-digit number, being a sequential count of the number of SIGMETs issued for the event
within the FIR since the last 0001 UTC.
2.2.5 The validity period is given in the format DDHHMM/DDHHMM, where DD is the day of the
month and HHMM is the time in hours and minutes UTC.
2.2.6 The originating office gives the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) indicator
for the BoM office issuing tile SIGMET, i.e. one of:
YPRM Adelaide
YPRF Perth
YBRF Brisbane
YSRF Sydney
YPDM Darwin
YMRF Melbourne
YMHF Hobart
YMMC Aviation Weather Centre Melbourne
2.2.7 FIR gives tile code and full name of the Flight Information Region for which the SIGMET is
issued.
2.2.8 The meteorological information provides the following:
a. type of phenomenon
b. phenomenon observed or forecast
c. location, both horizontal and vertical extent
d. movement or expected movement
e. expected change in intensity
f. forecast position at the end of the validity period (only for VA) or at OBS +6HR position (only
for TC)
NOTE 1: the polygon given is the geographical position of the phenomenon at the beginning of
the validity period.
NOTE 2: the first point of a polygon may not be repeated when describing the horizontal extent of
an event.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 538
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
NOTE 3: the vertical extent of an event will be given in feet AMSL for levels below 10,000 feet
(e.g. 9000 ft); and in flight levels for levels at and above 10,000 feet (e.g. FL100); except when
the event extends across the transition altitude (10,000 ft) in which case only FL will be used (e.g.
FL080/150)
NOTE 4: when an event straddles the boundary of the FIRs a SIGMET for each FIR will be
issued, and the horizontal extent of the event given in each SIGMET will be the same.
2.2.9 If during the validity period of a SIGMET, the phenomenon is no longer occurring or is no
longer expected, the SIGMET is cancelled by issuing a SIGMET with the abbreviation CNL, fol-
lowed by the sequence number and validity of the SIGMET being cancelled, in lieu of meteorolog-
ical information. CNL is also included in the RMK (remarks) line.
2.2.10 The Remarks (RMK) line includes the following information:
a. a two-letter location designator to provide a quick reference on the general location of the
phenomenon.
b. message status information.
c. reference to any SIGMET in an adjoining FIR (YMMM or YBBB) that is current for the same
event.
2.2.11 The two-letter location designator will be one of the following:
The areas covered by these designators are also shown in the following diagram:

in a previous SIGMET, and the previous SIGMET is yet to be cancelled; and when a SIGMET
includes a second forecast location, as occurs in VA and TC SIGMETs.
2.2.15.6 If a text SIGMET cannot be rendered graphically, it will be displayed in text format on
the graphic.
2.3 AIRMET
2.3.1 AIRMET information concerns the occurrence or expected occurrence, in an area over
which meteorological watch is being maintained, of one or more of the following phenomena
when the phenomena have not been included in a current Area Forecast:
a. Isolated and occasional thunderstorms;
b. Moderate icing;
c. Moderate mountain waves;
d. Moderate turbulence, when this is expected to occur in an area, or at a time, where or when
it is not a normal seasonal feature;
e. Extensive areas of visibility of less than 8km;
f. Extensive areas of cloud coverage of BKN or OVC below 1500 ft above ground level;
g. When the wind at the lowest level forecast (e.g, 2000 ft) is expected to increase by at least
20 kt to at least 40 kt.
2.3.2 AIRMET information, which concerns phenomena of a lesser degree of severity than
SIGMET information, is given to aircraft operating below FL200.
2.3.3 AIRMET 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. It will
indicate the locality or area in which the phenomena exist or are expected to exist.
2.3.4 Pilots-in-command who encounter any of the above phenomena which have not been noti-
fied by a forecast or an AIRMET advice, should report the details by SHORT AIREP.
NOTE: AIRMET information is additional to SIGMET information, which is issued to all aircraft
types.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 543
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
b. When areas of volcanic ash are described in SIGMET affecting air routes within Australian
FIRs, airways clearances will be issued to avoid the stated areas.
c. Prolonged Volcanic Activity. In conjunction with neighboring States, temporary airspace
and airways will be established to avoid hazardous areas, and notified by NOTAM.
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 RAPIC or
Weatherwatch 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.

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.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used for civil aviation.
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 636
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.

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. 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 of an administrative nature and not directly concerned with the present conduct of air-
borne 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

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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 687
AUSTRALIA

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;
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.

5.2 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 690

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
in writing by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, or in relation to exports authorized by the Minister for
Defence under regulation 13E of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958.

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.

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;
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

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;

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 On first contact with ATC (e.g. GROUND, TOWER, APPROACH), notify receipt of the
ATIS received using the alphabetical code word appended to the broadcast.
8.7.3 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 697
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES
8.7.5 At locations where runway threshold wind analyzers are installed, a tower controller must
provide a departing aircraft with the wind at the upwind end of the runway if it varies from that
broadcast on the ATIS by 10 degrees or 5 knots or more, and the variation is anticipated to con-
tinue for more than 15 minutes. Such information shall be passed by use of the phrase, “WIND AT
UPWIND END ... / ...”.
8.7.6 Wind Shear
When moderate, strong or severe wind shear has been reported on the approach or take-off
paths, or has been forecast, the information will be included on the ATIS in the following format;
e.g.:
a. WIND SHEAR WARNING — BOEING 737 [(wake turbulence category) CATEGORY AIR-
CRAFT (if military CATIS)] REPORTED MODERATE OVERSHOOT WIND SHEAR ON
APPROACH RUNWAY 34 AT TIME 0920, (plus, if available, wind shear advice issued by
MET; e.g.: FORECAST WIND AT 300 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL 360 DEGREES 45
KNOTS); or
b. WIND SHEAR WARNING — AIRBUS A320 [(wake turbulence category) CATEGORY AIR-
CRAFT (if military CATIS)] REPORTED STRONG WIND SHEAR LOST 20 KNOTS AIR-
SPEED BETWEEN 300 FEET AND 600 FEET ON DEPARTURE RUNWAY 19 AT TIME
0640; or
c. PROBABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM 0415 TO 0430 — FORECAST WIND AT 200
FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL 110 DEGREES 50 KNOTS.
8.7.7 Wind Shear Escape Maneuver
8.7.7.1 Wind shear significantly affects the aircraft performance and hence it’s potentially
adverse effects on flight safety. Wind shear in close proximity to the ground i.e. 1500 ft and below
is of considerable significance to aircraft during landing and take-off. During climb out after take-
off and in the approach configuration, aircraft speed and height are near critical values therefore
rendering the aircraft especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of wind shear. The response of
aircraft to wind shear is extremely complex and depends on many factors including type of air-
craft, the phase of flight, the scale of the wind shear relative to the size of the aircraft and the
intensity and duration of the wind shear encountered. Pilots and controllers must be aware that
their timely actions may prevent an impending wind shear encounter.
8.7.7.2 A Wind Shear Escape Maneuver is considered to constitute an emergency operation.
8.7.7.3 A Wind Shear Escape Maneuver should be carried out when wind shear is:
a. recognized by the flight crew;
b. detected by the on board system.
When wind shear is recognized or detected the recommended wind shear recovery procedure
should be carried out. Flight crew adherence to wind shear recovery procedures will take prece-
dence over ATC clearances, instructions and/or published procedures.
8.7.7.4 The flight crew will inform ATC, as soon as safely practicable when permitted by the
flight crew workload, of a recognized, predicted or detected wind shear. Crews will also advise
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 700
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES
when “clear of wind shear” on completion of the Wind Shear Escape Maneuver. The maneuver
will be conducted at any time the flight crew recognizes or, the on-board warning system predicts
or detects wind shear. A wind shear escape maneuver may result in the aircraft being on other
than a published or instructed missed approach, take-off path and/or altitude.
8.7.7.5 ATC will issue instructions to the aircraft not experiencing the wind shear to attempt to
preserve separation. A traffic alert will be provided to the aircraft conducting the Wind Shear
Escape Maneuver and/or to other aircraft in the vicinity.
8.7.7.6 When a pilot reports “wind shear escape” ATC shall not attempt to modify the aircraft
flight path until the pilot reports “clear of wind shear”.
8.7.7.7 Once an aircraft departs from its ATC clearance, instruction or prescribed procedure
while carrying out a Wind Shear Escape Maneuver, or a pilot reports “wind shear escape”, ATC
cease to be responsible for providing separation between that aircraft and any other aircraft affec-
ted as a direct consequence of the Wind Shear Escape Maneuver. ATC will resume responsibility
for providing separation of that aircraft from all affected aircraft when:
a. ATC acknowledges a report from the crew of the aircraft carrying out the Wind Shear Escape
Maneuver that the aircraft has resumed the current clearance, instruction or applicable pro-
cedure, or
b. ATC acknowledges a report from the crew that the aircraft is “clear of wind shear” and issues
a further clearance or instruction which is acknowledged by that crew.
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.
8.10 VOLMET
8.10.1 VOLMET broadcasts, prefixed by the designator “VOLMET”, provide meteorological
information for Australian major international aerodromes and Townsville.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 701
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES
8.12.4 When providing RAPIC/Weatherwatch information to pilots, ATS officers will use the
prefix “MET RADAR DISPLAY INDICATES...”.
a. visual observation;
b. identified and non-identified aircraft targets on an ATC situation display; or
c. verbal reports from pilots or other facilities.
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 relevant Area VHF;
2. otherwise 126.35 MHz.
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).
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 709
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

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 airports.
1.1.4 Controlled airspace within the Brisbane and Melbourne FIRs is generally established as
follows:
CLASS OF
APPLICATION
AIRSPACE
– within radar coverage - lower limit above FL180 and upper limit FL600;
– outside radar coverage - lower limit FL245 and upper limit FL600; and
Class A
– an area extending from 90 NM south of Melbourne to Launceston and Ho-
bart, lower limit of FL180 and upper limit FL600.
– within radar coverage south of Sydney, lower limit FL125 and upper limit
FL180 under Class A airspace;
Class C – in the control area steps associated with controlled airports, excluding control
area steps classified as Class D airspace; and
– in control zones of defined dimensions.

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;
– outside radar coverage within continental Australia, lower limit FL180 and up-
Class E 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;
– 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; and
– in the control area steps associated with Class D controlled airports at Karra-
tha, Broome, Avalon, Mackay and Rockhampton excluding control area steps
classified as Class D or C 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 airport within a control zone.
1.1.6 The extent of controlled airspace is depicted on Enroute/Area charts and may be promul-
gated by NOTAM or AIP Supplements.
1.1.7 When ATS airspaces adjoin vertically (one above the other), flights at the common level
must comply with the requirements of, and will be given services applicable to, the less restrictive
class of airspace. In applying these criteria, Class C airspace is considered less restrictive than
Class A airspace; Class D airspace is considered less restrictive than Class C airspace, etc.
NOTE: Super, Heavy or Medium Wake Turbulence category aircraft may be operating at the base
and near the boundaries of controlled airspace. Aircraft operating in Class G airspace in the vicin-
ity of controlled airspace may be affected by wake turbulence from aircraft operating within con-
trolled airspace.
1.1.8 When airspace classes adjoin laterally or vertically, flights at the common boundary will be
given services applicable to the lower class of airspace (where A is the highest and G is the
lowest).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 713
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION
b. For control areas or control zones — in accordance with the airspace classification for the
airspace when it is active.
1.5.4 ATC will advise pilots of the level of service they will receive when granting approval or
clearance to enter a released area from Class E or G airspace, or if the level of service will be in
accordance with Class E or G within the released area.
d. Under certain conditions, the pilot of one aircraft may be given the responsibility for separa-
tion with other aircraft. In this circumstance:
1. the pilot is also responsible for the provision of wake turbulence separation;
2. the pilot must advise ATC when 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.
e. ATC will consider a formation of aircraft broken and will therefore process aircraft individually
from the time the formation aircraft are:
1. cleared to carry out touch-and-go landings;
2. required to go-around; or
3. cleared to carry out individual activities.
NOTE: A group of civil aircraft conducting the same flight (e.g. an air safari), which require the
aircraft to operate at separation distances greater than those specified for formation flights will be
considered to be separate aircraft when applying separation.
3 CLASS G AIRSPACE
3.1 FLIGHT INFORMATION AREAS
3.1.1 Non-controlled airspace in the Brisbane FIR and Melbourne FIR is classified as Class “G”
airspace.
3.1.2 North of 65° South, Class “G” airspace is divided into designated Flight Information Areas
(FIAs) within which a Flight Information Service (FIS) and SAR alerting services are provided by
an ATS unit.
3.1.3 On and north of 65° South, in Class “G” airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted. IFR
flights receive traffic information and a flight information service. VFR flights receive a flight infor-
mation service and may receive a surveillance information service if requested (ATC workload
permitting).
3.1.4 South of 65° South, in Class “G” airspace, IFR and VFR flights are permitted and all flights
receive a flight information service on request.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 716
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION
4.2 GENERAL
4.2.1 Airspace in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations may exist and all areas over
which the operation of civil aircraft may be restricted are promulgated as follows:
a. Prohibited Area: Airspace within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.
b. Restricted Area: Airspace within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with
specified conditions.
c. Danger Area: Airspace within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at
specified times.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 717
AUSTRALIA
AIRSPACE ORGANIZATION
4.2.2 The boundaries, identification and hours of operation of the areas are portrayed on appro-
priate Enroute/Area and Terminal charts. The letters allocated for identification are:
P = Prohibited area
R = Restricted area
D = Danger area
Brisbane = YB
Melbourne = YM
Prohibited, Restricted and Danger Area numbers in the 900 series are allocated for temporary
special use airspace such as military exercises, air shows and special events.
These areas are promulgated by AIP SUP, or NOTAM as Brisbane FIR (YBBB) or Melbourne FIR
(YMMM) as appropriate for the location.
4.2.3 Unless otherwise specified, vertical limits are promulgated as above MSL when at or
below the transition altitude, or as a flight level when above the transition altitude. “NOTAM” indi-
cates that the vertical limits or hours of activation will be notified by NOTAM.
4.2.4 The promulgated vertical limits of prohibited and restricted areas include all the buffers
necessary for the protection of aircraft operating outside these areas. Therefore, the promulgated
levels may be used by aircraft avoiding the areas, except where the vertical limit abuts controlled
airspace, in which case, a clearance is required.
4.3.2.2 RA CONDITIONAL STATUS LEGEND: Conditional Status RA1: Pilots may flight plan
through the Restricted Area and under normal circumstances expect a clearance from ATC.
Conditional Status RA2: Pilots must not flight plan through the Restricted Area unless on a route
specified in the Jeppesen Enroute Preferred Routes or under agreement with the Department of
Defence, however a clearance from ATC is not assured. Other tracking may be offered through
the Restricted Area on a tactical basis.
Conditional Status RA3: Pilots must not flight plan through the Restricted Area and clearances will
not be available.
NOTE: In a declared emergency, every effort will be made to obtain approval to transit a Restric-
ted Area, irrespective of its conditional status.
4.3.2.3 If the conditional status is uncertain, treat the airspace as conditional status RA3 and
avoid the area.
4.3.3 Civil aircraft operating in military Restricted areas or airspace in which a military service is
provided will receive a service equivalent to that of Class C airspace, unless specified otherwise.
4.3.4 When compliance with an air traffic clearance requires flight:
a. from controlled airspace into an adjoining active restricted area or airspace; or
b. through an active restricted area or airspace into adjoining controlled airspace; or
c. through an active restricted area or airspace within controlled airspace,
the pilot-in-command may assume that ATC has obtained approval for the flight.
4.3.5 Approval for flight within an active danger area outside controlled airspace is not required.
However it is the responsibility of the PIC to be aware of the dangerous activity and take appropri-
ate precautions.
4.3.6 PRD areas may be activated or deactivated at short notice. Access to a Restricted area
may be available if the activity for which it has been activated has ceased (early deactivation). It is
a pilot responsibility to check current status with ATS.
4.4.3 Non-controlled airport procedures apply to all military airports when the CTR is deactiva-
ted.
5 LANES OF ENTRY
5.1 Lanes of entry are established to permit passage to and from specified Class “D” CTR with-
out entering an adjacent Class “C” or military CTR. The vertical limits provide separation from
overlying control or restricted areas.
5.2 When using these lanes, pilots must:
a. operate under the VFR;
b. conform with the general flight rules regarding terrain clearance, flight over populous areas
and low level restricted areas;
c. operate not higher than the altitude specified as the upper limit in the section being flown;
and
d. keep to the right.

2.2.5 The performance of an airplane shall be predicated on the runway surface that is used for
take-off or landing. Operations on unpaved surfaces, such as gravel, grass or natural surfaces
shall be carried out in accordance with the unpaved performance section of the AFM or AFM Sup-
plement.
NOTE 6: Airport lighting at non-controlled airports should be arranged direct with the airport oper-
ator, or by using PAL facilities, if available.
3 ALTERNATE AIRPORTS
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 A pilot in command must make provision for flight to an alternate airport, when required, in
accordance with the following paragraphs.
3.1.2 When a flight is required to provide for an alternate airport, any airport may be so nomina-
ted for that flight provided:
a. it is suitable as a destination for that flight; and
b. it is not an airport for which that flight would require to provide for an alternate airport.
3.1.3 When an airport forecast is not available or is “provisional,” the pilot in command must
make provision for a suitable alternate that has a firm forecast.
3.3.3 A flight permitted to operate under the VFR at night (see General Flight Procedures, VFR)
must provide for an alternate airport 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.
3.4.5 The alternate requirements of paragraphs 3.4.1 to 3.4.4 inclusive need not be applied if
the aircraft carries holding fuel for first light plus 10 minutes at the destination.
3.4.6 An alternate airport nominated in accordance with requirements in paragraphs 3.4.2 and
3.4.3 need not have standby power or standby portable runway lighting.
3.4.7 A responsible person under paragraph 3.4.2 is one who has been instructed in, and is
competent to display, the standard runway lighting with portable lights.
3.4.8 Partial Runway Lighting Failure
At a controlled airport, in the event of failure of one electrical circuit on a runway equipped with

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.
2. during the hours of darkness: by flashing on and off twice the aircraft’s landing lights or,
if not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.
b. On the Ground:
1. during the hours of daylight: by moving the aircraft’s ailerons or rudder.
2. during the hours of darkness: by flashing on and off twice the aircraft’s landing lights or,
if not so equipped, by switching on and off twice its navigation lights.

6 LIGHTING
6.1 RUNWAY LIGHTING
6.1.1 Permanent Threshold Lighting
6.1.1.1 Permanent threshold lights are green and the following patterns are in use:
a. Standard Pattern: a row of six lights evenly spaced across the threshold which may, at
larger airports, be augmented by one or two extra wing-bar lights at each end;
b. Alternate Standard Pattern: two barettes each of three lights, one on each side of the
threshold;
c. An obsolescent pattern of five or six lights which still exists on some runways.
6.1.1.2 The Alternate Standard Pattern is generally installed at airports used predominantly by
aircraft having a maximum take-off weight of less than 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, temporary displaced threshold lights are
used to indicate the new threshold location at night. The pattern consists of two groups of five
lights showing green, one group on each side of the runway. If the runway width is 30m or less,
groups of 3 lights per side may be used.
6.1.3.2 If any length of runway prior to the displaced threshold is available for taxiing or for take-
off from that end of the runway, or for landing or take-off from the other end of the runway, the
runway edge lighting on this part of the runway will show red in the direction of approach to the
displaced threshold, and show white in the opposite direction. (see Figure 1)
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 750
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS
6.1.3.3 If the alteration to the threshold location is caused by an unserviceable area of the
runway, all runway edge lights on this part of the runway will be extinguished. Unserviceability
lights, showing red, will be placed across the runway at the entrance to the closed area. Work
Limit lights, showing amber/yellow/orange, are provided to indicate to persons associated with the
works organization, the limit of the works area. (see Figure 2)
NOTE: Figure 1 and 2 show examples of Displaced Threshold Lighting. They are not the only
possible configurations.
6.1.3.4 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 V-bar
markers in other instances.

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.
warrant continuous display, the beacon will be operated for known aircraft movements. The
beacon is available on request.
6.9.3 For a precision approach runway on which CAT I approaches are conducted, 2 types of
approach lighting system may be provided:
a. Precision approach CAT I lighting system; distance coded centerline. This type of
approach lighting system is also known as the ‘Calvert’ system. (see below)
b. Precision approach CAT I lighting system; barrette centerline. This type of approach
lighting system is also known as Approach Lighting System with Sequenced Flashing Lights
(ALSF). As its other name implies, this type of approach lighting system includes a ‘running
rabbit’ array of sequenced flashing lights. (see below)

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.
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 762
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.
1 ALTIMETRY
1.1 PREFLIGHT ALTIMETER CHECK
1.1.1 General
1.1.1.1 Whenever an accurate QNH is available and the aircraft is at a known elevation, pilots
must conduct an accuracy check of the aircraft altimeter(s) at some point prior to take-off.
NOTE: Where the first check indicates that an altimeter is unserviceable, the pilot is permitted to
conduct a further check at another location on the same airfield; for example, the first check on
the apron and the second at the runway threshold (to determine altimeter serviceability).
1.1.2 IFR Altimeters
1.1.2.1 With an accurate QNH set, the altimeter(s) should read the nominated elevation to within
60 ft. If an altimeter has an error in excess of +/- 75 ft, the altimeter is to be considered unservice-
able.
1.1.2.2 When two altimeters are required for the category of operation, one of the altimeters
must read the nominated elevation to within 60 ft. When the remaining altimeter has an error
between 60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the
altimeter can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess
of 60 ft on the second check, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable for flight under the
IFR.
1.1.2.3 An aircraft fitted with two altimeters, but requiring only one for the category of operation,
may continue to operate under the IFR provided one altimeter reads the nominated elevation to
within 60 ft. Should the remaining altimeter have an error in excess of 75 ft, that altimeter must be
placarded unserviceable and the maintenance release appropriately endorsed.
1.1.2.4 When an aircraft is fitted with only one altimeter and that altimeter has an error between
60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the altimeter
can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess of 60 ft
on the second check, the altimeter is to be considered unserviceable for flight under the IFR.
1.1.3 VFR Altimeters
1.1.3.1 With an accurate QNH set, a VFR altimeter(s) should read site elevation to within 100 ft
(110 ft at test sites above 3300 ft) to be accepted by the pilot as serviceable. If an aircraft fitted
with two VFR altimeters continues to fly with one altimeter reading 100 ft (110 ft) or more in error,
the faulty altimeter must be placarded unserviceable and the error noted in the maintenance
release.
1.1.3.2 VFR altimeters are not permitted for airplane operations above FL200. VFR flights oper-
ating above FL200 must be equipped with an altimeter calibrated to IFR standards.
1.1.4 Accurate QNH and Site Elevation
1.1.4.1 A QNH can be considered accurate 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 765
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1.1.4.2 Site elevation must be derived from aerodrome survey data published by Airservices or
supplied by the aerodrome owner.
1.2.4.2 At the oceanic limits of Australian FIRs, a pilot may fly a level different from those set out
in the tables of cruising levels due to Area QNH conflicting with the standard pressure setting.
1.2.5 General
1.2.5.1 Heights measured from a QNH or Area QNH datum must be expressed in full; e.g., 3000
ft as “THREE THOUSAND” and 1800 ft as “ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED”, adding if nec-
essary, “ON...(QNH)”.
1.2.5.2 Expressions of height measured from the 1013.2 hPa datum must always include the
words “FLIGHT LEVEL”.

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 773
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
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
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.
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
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 aids or GNSS, the pilot-in-command
must obtain positive 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 competent to use under CASR 61.385.
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:
– is authorized under Part 61 to conduct a flight under the IFR 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.
Flight Technical Error (FTE) should be limited to half scale deflection of the CDI or Lateral
Deviation indicator (LDEV) as appropriate; and
e. when navigating by visual reference to the ground or water – more than 1 NM from the
cleared route or track.
NOTE: The values given above must not be interpreted as defining a sector within which the
pilot is permitted to navigate.
NOTE 1: Aircraft within controlled airspace or a restricted area may be operating up to the boun-
dary of the airspace.
NOTE 2: For aircraft operating in close proximity to an airspace boundary where there is a risk of
an airspace infringement, the pilot in command should consider obtaining a clearance to enter the
airspace or altering track to remain well clear.

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,
C146a or equivalent as determined by CASA.
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.
5.13.2.2 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.
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 Operations
5.15.1.3.1 Aircraft with demonstrated non-complying ADS-B transmission will be notified by ATC
at the time of detection. The pilot in command will be requested to contact ATC on completion 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 services
will be restored within 48 hours when advice is received of corrective action.
5.15.1.3.2 Eligible aircraft will receive an appropriate surveillance service for the class of air-
space regardless of whether the surveillance coverage is predominantly radar or ADS-B.
5.15.1.4 ADS-B Equipment
5.15.1.4.1 Aircraft must carry serviceable ADS-B transmitting equipment that complies with an
approved equipment configuration when operating at or above FL290 in Australian-administered
airspace.
5.15.1.4.2 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.
5.15.1.4.3 An aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment must not fly in
Australian-administered airspace 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 5.15.1.4.4.
NOTE: It is considered equivalent to deactivation if NUCp or NIC is set to continually transmit only
a value of zero.
5.15.1.4.4 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.
5.15.1.4.5 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.

NOTE 2: 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.
NOTE: RA collision avoidance maneuvers will not be provided to an aircraft with TA-only mode
selected, e.g., during engine failure or operating in known close proximity to other traffic such as
approaches to closely spaced parallel runways.
5.16.2.2 Resolution Advisory (RA)
In the event of an RA, pilots must:
a. immediately conform to the RA indication, even if this conflicts with an air traffic control
(ATC) instruction, unless doing so would jeopardize the safety of the aircraft;
b. limit the alterations of the flight path to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the RA;
and
c. notify ATC, as soon as permitted by workload, of any RA which requires a deviation from the
current ATC instruction or clearance.
5.16.3 Responsibility for Separation
5.16.3.1 Once an aircraft maneuvers in response to an RA, ATC is not responsible for providing
separation between that aircraft and any other aircraft, airspace, terrain or obstruction.
5.16.3.2 When the conflict is resolved, pilots must:
a. promptly return to the terms of the latest ATC instruction or clearance and notify ATC of the
maneuver; or
b. comply with any amended ATC clearance or instruction issued.
5.16.3.3 ATC responsibility for separation resumes when separation is re-established after:
a. the responding aircraft has returned to its assigned level;
b. the pilot advises ATC that the TCAS maneuver is completed; or
c. the responding aircraft has executed an alternate clearance.
5.16.4 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) requires that all TCAS Resolution Advi-
sories are treated as Routine Reportable Matters (see Air Traffic Incidents).
5.16.5 The ATSB reporting requirements apply to all TCAS-equipped aircraft operating in Aus-
tralian-administered airspace. The requirements also apply to Australian registered aircraft oper-
ating outside Australian-administered airspace.
5.16.6 The above information is required for proactive systems analysis in relation to accident
prevention.
5.16.7 High Vertical Rate (HVR) Encounters
5.16.7.1 A TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) may result from having a high vertical rate when
approaching an assigned altitude or flight level when another aircraft is maintaining, or approach-
ing, an adjacent altitude or flight level. To avoid RAs in these circumstances, the pilot of the climb-
ing or descending aircraft should, where practicable, reduce the vertical rate to less than 1500
FPM when within the last 1000 ft of the assigned altitude or flight level, unless otherwise directed
by ATC.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 785
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
NOTE 1: Pilots are not required to modify vertical speed for every level-off. This is not necessary
and would introduce a significant increase in pilot workload.
NOTE 2: Pilots may become aware of the presence of an adjacent aircraft by several means,
including:
a. visual acquisition;
b. information provided by ATC; or
c. TCAS Traffic Advisory (TA).
5.18.5 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.
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.
6.3.3 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.
7 AIRCRAFT SPEEDS
7.1 Unless required for safety reasons, civil aircraft must not be operated at indicated airspeeds
greater than the following:
7.2 Speed limitations are not applicable to military aircraft, except particular military IFR loca-
tions in Class C airspace.

10 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 Guidance concerning fuel to be carried is contained in Civil Aviation Advisory Publication
(CAAP) 234-1, available from Airservices Publications Unit see details online at http://
www.casa.gov.au/download/CAAPs/ops/234_1.pdf (CASA website).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 790
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
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 airport, the pilot calculates that any change to
the existing clearance to that airport may result in landing with less than planned fixed fuel
reserve.
NOTE 1: The declaration of MINIMUM FUEL informs ATC that all planned airport options have
been reduced to a specific airport of intended landing and any change to the existing clearance
may result in landing with less than planned fixed fuel reserve. This is not an emergency situation
but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional delay occur.
NOTE 2: Pilots should not expect any form of priority handling as a result of a “MINIMUM FUEL”
declaration. ATC will, however, advise the flight crew of any additional expected delays as well as
coordinate when transferring control of the aircraft to ensure other ATC units are aware of the
flight’s fuel state.
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 airport where a safe landing can be made is less than the planned
fixed fuel reserve and as a result of this predicted fuel state, the aircraft requires immediate assis-
tance.
NOTE: MAYDAY FUEL declaration is a distress message. A distress message is reported when
the pilot in command has assessed the aircraft is threatened with grave and imminent danger and
requires immediate assistance.
13.2 It is a requirement in any case where an aircraft lands with less than its planned fixed fuel
reserve that the pilot-in-command shall consider the event an immediately reportable matter and
file the required report.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 793

15 FLYING TRAINING
15.1 FLYING TRAINING AREAS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
15.1.1 ATC may approve flying training activities within controlled airspace. Approval may be
granted on a short-term hour-to-hour basis or, in some cases, on a more regular basis. The
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.
16 AIR DISPLAY
16.1 A Regular Public Transport or Charter flight is not permitted to participate in an air display
or carry out any low level operations at an airport at which an air display is in progress, except for
a normal take-off or landing.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 795
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
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 796
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.
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.
2.4.6.3 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.

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 806
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 807
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
3.21 Pilots not formally required to submit flight notification, or leave a flight note as defined in
the preceding paragraphs, are nevertheless encouraged to leave a flight note.
4.1.2 The flight notification forms are available from the Airservices website (www.airservice-
saustralia.com) (Flight Briefing).
4.1.3 The suggested format for a Flight Note is 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).
4.3.5 Pilots of aircraft able to conduct RNP AR approaches and departures should insert “G”
and “R” in Field 10 and PBN/T1 and OPR/ in Field 18 of the flight notification form.
4.3.6 Pilots of aircraft able to use inertial systems for area navigation should insert “I” and “R” in
Field 10 and “PBN/B1” or “PBN/B5” as appropriate in Field 18 of the flight notification form.
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 airport 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 JRCC Australia in the event of the aircraft becoming overdue.
4.6.3 Pilots of flights operating IFR under a Private IFR rating must include this advice when
submitting flight notification. Flight Procedure Authorizations (FPAs) applicable to flight within con-
trolled airspace must also be included.
4.6.4 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.
5.2 If advising ATS of a change of aircraft ident and/or registration, pilots of SARTIME flights
must also advise, prior to takeoff, that the flight is subject to a SARTIME.
5.3 To assist in managing the airways system, pilots should always warn ATS of any flight notifi-
cation amendments by utilizing appropriate alerting phraseologies; e.g.:
“MELBOURNE CENTER, DELTA MIKE GOLF, IFR FLIGHT PLAN AMENDMENT”
or
“FLIGHTWATCH, DELTA MIKE GOLF, SARTIME FLIGHT PLAN AMENDMENT”.
a. Strategic — Generally occurs more than one day prior to the day of operation. This is known
as schedule coordination and is managed by the specific airport operator, who may use an
independent coordinator to manage the scheme.
b. Pre tactical — Occurs on the day prior to operation through the implementation of Traffic
Management Initiatives (TMI) such as a Ground Delay Program (GDP). Airservices Australia
National Operations Centre manages this service.
c. Tactical — Occurs on the day of operation and uses real time traffic information to sequence
traffic to the destination airport. Airservices Australia Air Traffic Controllers manage this serv-
ice.
7.1.2 Tactical flow management takes precedence over pre tactical air traffic flow management
which in turn takes precedence over strategic air traffic flow management.
7.2.5 ACA slots are obtained from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) from MON–FRI 2200–
0600 UTC. Arrival slots allocated by ACA may be subject to change by ATFM due to operational
constraints.
7.2.6 Notification of changes to slots allocated to existing scheduled flights should be advised to
Airports Coordination Authority in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate traffic
management scheme.
7.2.7 ACA slots may be obtained outside ACA office hours for short notice non-scheduled flights
from Airservices Australia National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020 626. These Slots will
be allocated from the available pool.
NOTE: Failure to obtain or comply with a COBT and/or submit a flight plan for a flight to a pro-
gram airport may result in extensive airborne holding or no airways clearance being issued.
7.3.5 Towers will only issue a clearance to push back or taxi earlier than COBT — 5 minutes for
a significant operational requirement or if there is a reasonable expectation that, due to taxi or
holding point delays, the required amount of ground delay will be achieved.
7.3.6 Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and
descent profiles.
7.3.7 Pilots of scheduled flights will be advised of their current Calculated Off Blocks Time
(COBT) through their company.
7.3.8 GDP Run Times. GDPs for the following day’s operations are normally run at the following
times:
0815 UTC (0800 UTC during daylight savings) – Perth (Departures Only)
0900 UTC (0815 UTC during daylight savings) – Sydney
0900 UTC (0840 UTC during daylight savings) – Perth (Arrivals Only)
1000 UTC (0940 UTC during daylight savings) – Brisbane
1100 UTC (1040 UTC during daylight savings) – Melbourne
1800 UTC (1700 UTC during daylight savings) – Sydney
7.3.9 Non-scheduled flights. Prior to submitting a flight plan, pilots of non-scheduled flights
intending to operate into a GDP airport during the hours of program operation must call the NOC
for a Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT), and an ACA slot if required, for their flight. Where pos-
sible it is recommended that the ACA Slot be obtained from ACA prior to contacting the NOC.
7.3.9.1 Where possible itinerant operators should contact the NOC prior to 0800 UTC to ensure
their flight is included in the GDP for the following day. The NOC can be contacted by email

When the Melbourne TAF indicates a visibility of less than 5000m and a ceiling of less than 1600
ft an Essendon Slot Scheme may be operating. This is dependant on weather and runway config-
urations planned to be in operation between the two Airports during the GDP, as Essendon Arriv-
als may become part of the arrivals sequence into Melbourne. Fixed wing ACFT arriving at
Essendon during these periods must contact the National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020
626 to book a slot for arrival into Essendon.
Operators who upload a schedule into Metron Harmony or provide a schedule to the NOC will
have their ACFT automatically assigned a slot. ACFT operators will still need to confirm their allo-
cated slot time with the NOC.
Failure to obtain a Slot and/or to submit a flight plan for a flight to Essendon Airport may result in
extensive airborne holding or Airways Clearance being withheld if Essendon Airport has no com-
patible arrival slots available.
A NOTAM will be issued notifying times the Essendon Slot Scheme is in operation or cancelling it
if weather conditions change.
Priority Flights are exempt from this procedure.

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.
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.
1.3.6.3 NVG Operations
CASA may approve suitably equipped aircraft/suitably qualified pilots to operate below LSALT in
VMC at night using NVG. In accepting the clearance, the pilot accepts the responsibility for terrain
clearance. Any such clearance must be expressly initiated by the pilot using one of the following
phrases:
a. Not above published/pilot calculated LSALT with NVG and visual. The pilot will
expressly initiate the request by the use of the phrase “REQUEST NOT ABOVE (altitude)
[PILOT CALCULATED LOWEST SAFE], VISUAL” – ATC will clear the aircraft to operate not
above the requested altitude or Pilot Calculated Lowest Safe, as applicable, visual; or
b. VMC with NVG. When requiring to operate at or not above a specific level which is below
the published or pilot calculated LSALT. The pilot will expressly initiate the request by the
use of the phrase “REQUEST [NOT ABOVE] (altitude) NVG”. ATC will clear the aircraft not
above the pilot requested altitude NVG.
NOTE: For civil operations, the use of 1.3.6.3.b may only be applied when the crew compliment
comprises of at least two aircrew operating on NVG; constituting at least one pilot approved and
equipped to operate on NVG and the second aircrew member, being either a pilot or aircrewman
also approved and equipped to operate on NVG.
1.3.6.4 If visual reference is lost, either through equipment failure or deteriorating weather condi-
tions, crews must climb to the appropriate LSALT/MSA and advise ATC as soon as practicable.
ATC will treat this as an emergency situation and may apply emergency separation services.

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
1.4.2.1 A pilot-in-command must not enter any runway, whether or not it is in use, unless a spe-
cific clearance to:
a. take-off,
b. line-up,
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.

1.10.1.6 These speeds will apply for ATC separation and sequencing purposes and are to be
flown as accurately as possible.
1.10.2 NON FMS or FMS Unable to Accept Speed Constraints
1.10.2.1 For non FMS or FMS equipped aircraft unable to accept speed constraints. the pilot will
be responsible for ensuring the aircraft meets the STAR speed requirements.
1.10.3 Speed Management
1.10.3.1 Aircraft are expected to continue at previously specified speeds (eg, 250 kt lAS at
A100), commence speed reduction prior to the next promulgated speed (230 kt lAS at 20 NM)
and be at the speed by the specified point.
1.10.3.2 ATC may vary the published speeds where required for traffic management.
1.10.4 No Star Issued
1.10.4.1 For aircraft not issued a STAR; the pilot will be responsible for ensuring the aircraft
meets the promulgated speed requirements.
1.10.4.2 On first contact with Approach, Director or as soon as information is available, ATC will
provide the pilot with distance from touchdown and keep pilot informed of any subsequent
changes.
1.10.4.3 Aircraft not issued a STAR and unable to comply with speeds shall notify ATC prior to
descent.
1.10.5 STAAS Speed Still Applies
1.10.5.1 In the event of a new ATC instruction not related to speed, for example when a clear-
ance for visual approach is authorized, the speed requirements on the STAR plate still apply.
1.10.5.2 Aircraft tracking on a STAR and issued with an ATC speed restriction less than the cor-
responding STAR speed shall maintain assigned speed until meeting the STAR promulgated
speed.
1.10.5.3 Aircraft that are initially taken off a STAR and then subsequently instructed to resume
the STAR shall fly the STAR promulgated speed from the point where the STAR is resumed.
1.10.6 Directed Speed Control
1.10.6.1 Where a STAR is cancelled due to Air Traffic Management requirements ATC will pro-
vide directed speed control.
1.10.7 Notification of Speed requirements
1.10.7.1 The 20 NM speed requirement will be coded on the STAR charts, except for arrival
Sydney.
1.10.7.2 Where the STAR is published to approximately 10 NM, the maximum speed of 185 kt
lAS will be coded into the STAR route. Compliance with the minimum speed of 160 kt lAS to 150
kt lAS remains a pilot responsibility.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 849

1.10.7.3 For STARs that end prior to 10 NM, the speed requirement will be included in the
"speed box" on the chart.
1.10.7.4 Advice of 10 NM and 5 NM speed requirements will also be included on the relevant
IAL charts and Sydney STARs as depicted;
1.10.7.5 Aircraft unable to comply with the STAR and IAL speed limitations must inform ATC as
early as possible, and no later than on receipt of STAR clearance.
1.10.7.6 Variations to the published descent speeds may still be issued at ATC discretion.
1.10.8 Compliance
1.10.8.1 To optimize arrival spacing and improve airport capacity, compliance with the standard
terminal area arrival speeds is required.
1.10.8.2 Terminal Control Unit supervisors at Brisbane. Melbourne and Perth will report on any
non-compliance issues.
1.10.8.3 Airservices may take action to remove non-compliant flights from the arrival sequence
when flight crew fail to notify inability to comply as per 1.10.4.3 and 1.10.7.5.
1.11.2.3 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.
1.11.2.4 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”.
1.11.3 Clearance to Enter Class D Airspace
1.11.3.1 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.
1.11.3.2 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.'
1.11.3.3 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.
1.11.3.4 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.
1.11.3.5 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.
1.11.3.6 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.

1.11.7 Visual Approach
1.11.7.1 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.

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.
1.11.7.2 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.
1.11.7.3 In the case of sub-para b. above, the aircraft will be:
a. vectored to intercept final no closer than 8 NM from the runway threshold, at an altitude not
less than 2500 ft Above 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

1.11.7.4 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.
1.11.7.5 Circuit Joining — ATC may issue an instruction to join on a leg of the circuit or via:
a. Upwind, which directs circuit entry tracking upwind over the nominated runway centerline at
the specified altitude; or
b. Overfly, which directs circuit entry into the opposing circuit by overflying the nominated
runway at the specified altitude.
1.11.7.6 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 airport is in
sight; or

1.11.7.7 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.
1.11.7.8 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.
1.11.7.9 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”.
1.11.7.10 A pilot descending to and maintaining a specific altitude visually below the LSALT
must comply with the minimum altitude requirements.
1.11.7.11 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.
1.12 HOLDING
1.12.1 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.
1.12.2 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.
1.12.3 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.
1.12.4 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.
1.12.5 When operationally necessary, a pilot in command holding in an approach sequence
must advise ATC of the latest divert time.
1.12.6 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.
1.12.7 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

AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
advised to ATC (see TERMINAL, Holding Procedures paragraph 2.1 for maximum aircraft speeds
in the holding pattern).
1.12.8 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.
1.13 LANDING
1.13.1 Provision of Operational Information
1.13.1.1 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.
1.13.2 Selection of Landing Direction
1.13.2.1 The pilot-in-command must ensure that the nominated runway or direction is operation-
ally suitable. If the nominated runway or direction is not suitable then ATC must be advised using
the phrase “REQUIRE RUNWAY (number)”. Such a request will not result in loss of priority provi-
ded it is made:
a. before reaching 80 NM (120 NM for jets) from a capital city 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.
1.13.2.2 The decision to land rests solely with the pilot-in-command.

must also be advised of single-engined aircraft conducting simulated engine failures at the earli-
est opportunity.
1.14.2.2 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.
1.14.3 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.
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.
During the application of Independent visual approaches, ATC will provide limited traffic advice
whenever aircraft will operate within 1 NM of traffic on the adjacent final approach. Confirmation
of visual contact is not required.
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° 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° 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 airport control frequency and monitoring the rel-
evant PRM frequency no later than 2 NM prior to the higher ILS PRM glidepath intercept
point.
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.
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.
b. radar; or
c. visual.
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-control-
led airports using ’see-and-avoid’.
6.1.2 The pilot of an IFR flight departing from a non-controlled airport 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-con-
trolled airport. In certain circumstances carriage of radio and being qualified to use it are manda-
tory – (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-controlled
airports 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 airport where radio carriage is required.
6.1.6 Pilots of aircraft transiting in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport should monitor the des-
ignated CTAF while within 10 NM of the airport. 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 airport at an altitude that could conflict with operations in the vicinity of the airport.
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.
6.2.1.4 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 500 ft (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-controlled airport, 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-controlled airport. 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.
6.2.2.2 At airports where gliders operate to a common circuit pattern from a parallel strip outside
the runway strip, the above separation minima shall apply to aircraft landing or taking off on either
runway as if they were a single runway, but aircraft taxiing or stationary on the runway must not

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
affect operations on the other. Where gliders and glider tugs operate to a contra-circuit, simulta-
neous operations are permitted.
6.2.3 Circuit Height
6.2.3.1 When operating at non-controlled airports, the following circuit heights are recommen-
ded:
a. High performance – includes jets and many turbo-prop aircraft, above approximately 150 kt,
1500 ft AGL;
b. Medium performance – includes most piston engine aircraft, between approximately 55 kt
and 150 kt, 1000 ft AGL;
c. Low performance – ultralights and rotary wing with a maximum speed of approximately 55 kt,
500 ft AGL (Refer to Recommended Circuit Join diagram).
6.2.3.2 Circuit heights for airports which have specific requirements are published in the Airport
Directory.
6.3 TAXIING
6.3.1 Pilots of IFR flights operating from non-controlled airports must report to ATC on taxiing. If
unable to establish contact, proceed in accordance with Operations in Class G Airspace, Commu-
nications.
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 if changing to a CTAF
when the ATS frequency will not, or cannot, be monitored. This report must include the airport
location and frequency.
6.3.4 Carriage of radio, and being qualified to use it, is required at airports depicted in ERSA as
certified, registered or military. Refer CAR 166E, Summary of Report and Broadcast Require-
ments, & CAAP 166–1(0).
tance should be based on pilots being aware of traffic and the ability of the aircraft to climb above
and clear of the circuit area.
NOTE: Pilots of departing aircraft should be aware of traffic intending to join the circuit by the rec-
ommended overfly procedure, as they can be 2000 ft or higher above airport elevation.
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 5 NM of the airport, except that, at airports which
have published standard instrument departure procedures, an IFR flight may depart in accord-
ance with those procedures. When established on the departure track, and clear of the circuit traf-
fic, the pilot-in-command must report departure to ATC unless instructed otherwise.
6.4.3 This report must include the following information:
a. departure time;
b. outbound track in degrees magnetic;
c. intended cruising level; and
d. the estimate for the first enroute reporting point.
6.4.3.1 The departure time must be reported as follows:
a. current time minus an adjustment for the distance from the airport; or
b. when over or abeam the airport.
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”.
NOTE: At non-controlled airports pilots should monitor and make a broadcast whenever it is rea-
sonably 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 airport (CAR 166C).
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.
6.7.6.5 A pilot should include the intention to conduct a straight-in approach with the inbound
broadcast. Further broadcasts of intention on the CTAF by 3 NM from the runway threshold
should be made.
6.7.6.6 Pilots of aircraft conducting a straight-in approach at a non-controlled airport should
observe the following procedures:
a. The pilot in command should not commence a straight-in approach to a runway when the
reciprocal runway direction is being used by aircraft already established in the circuit.
b. All manoeuvring to establish the aircraft on final approach must be conducted outside a 3
NM radius from the intended landing runway threshold.
NOTE: Within 3 NM, pilots are expected to make only minor corrections to line up accurately
on final approach. This will enable pilots conforming to the 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:
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.

ply to entire formation. Subsequent aircraft in
formation will make independent base calls.
NOTE: Aircraft conducting a low pitch will be at the low pitch altitude by position 3.
6.9.3 In addition pilots should consult CAAP 166–2(0): ‘Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoid-
ance in the vicinity of non-controlled airports 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-controlled airports.
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
been assessed as competent to conduct LAHSO by a person authorized to conduct LAHSO
training;
c. ATC will consider all Australian registered aircraft, operating on a flight number callsign
(FNC), to be approved active participants, unless advised to Air Traffic Services as not able
to be an active and/or passive participant;
d. pilots of Australian military aircraft in performance categories A, B or C, and;
e. pilots of foreign military aircraft in performance categories A, B or C subject to a Letter of
Agreement between the relevant military authority and the ATS provider.
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, FA18 and other Australian military aircraft as approved by the relevant
Operational Airworthiness Authority;
d. pilots of foreign military aircraft approved by Defence, operating at Defence 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'
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 882
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
FNC are precluded from participation in either active or passive mode regardless of performance
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
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.
NOTE: This notification should be made to Airservices Airline Relations Branch and/or HQ 44WG.
l. For active participants ground based visual or electronic glide slope guidance must be avail-
able and utilized.
m. After landing, the pilot must inform ATC immediately of any difficulty in complying with the
ATC requirement to hold short of a crossing runway strip.
NOTE: to l. above: This requirement does not apply to performance category A and B non jet air-
craft of less than 5700kg MTOW landing Runway 36 at Darwin.
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.
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.
2.1.12 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 887
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
2.1.14 When ATC issues a level clearance to an aircraft, any level restrictions or requirements
issued with an earlier clearance is automatically cancelled. ATC will issue (or re-issue) any
required level restrictions or requirements with new level clearances.
NOTE: This procedure does not apply in relation to SID and STAR operations. For SID and STAR
operations, aircraft must comply with level and speed restrictions and/or requirements published
on STAR and SID charts unless ATC explicitly cancels the restrictions or requirements.
2.1.15 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:
a. all restrictions / requirements are restated; or
b. the subsequent instruction is prefixed “FURTHER REQUIREMENT”.
2.1.16 At a controlled airport, clearance for operation in an adjoining control area is given before
departure.
2.1.17 If proposing to fly into a control area from an airport located so close to the entry point
that making a full position report before entry is not practicable, a clearance should be requested:
a. at a convenient time before entering the runway for take-off at an airport where communica-
tion 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.
2.1.18 If landing at an airport with the intention of departing for a control area shortly after land-
ing, any revision of notified details relevant to the clearance, including EOBT, should be advised
to ATC, and a clearance requested before landing.
2.1.19 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.
2.1.20 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.
2.1.21 Within a Class “D” CTR, a clearance to take-off is a clearance to operate within the CTR
or depart the CTR into Class “G” airspace.
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;
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 airport 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.
2.2.4 Pilots of aircraft that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of the flight notification form should
request an RNP AR departure at clearance delivery unless there is a standing agreement
between the Operator and the ATS provider to automatically assign RNP AR departures for eligi-
ble flights.
2.2.5 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.
2.3.3 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.

2.5.4 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.
2.5.5 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

3 CRUISING
3.1 ENROUTE
3.1.1 All levels flown in Classes A, C and D airspace, and IFR levels flown in Class E airspace,
must be assigned by ATC. Levels flown by VFR aircraft or IFR flights maintaining VFR-on-top in
Class E airspace must be in accordance with the VFR Table of Cruising Levels.
NOTE 1: Pilots should be aware that VFR aircraft outside controlled airspace may be operating at
random levels below 5000 ft (See Selection of Levels, VFR paragraph).
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.
3.5.1.3 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;
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.
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
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.
3.6.9 For Operations with Area Navigation Systems (including GNSS): The area to be con-
sidered 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 destination 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;
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.
a. route specifications published in Aeronautical Charts including the relevant en route chart;
and
b. applicable flight planning requirements; and
c. published accessibility of airspace such as restricted areas;
unless otherwise authorized by ATC.
4.2 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.
4.5 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/.
4.6 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.
4.7 For an area-type flight as distinct from route flying, the pilot of an IFR flight or VFR flight in
those circumstances identified in Flight Planning (Series 600) may nominate scheduled reporting
times. These should be at half-hourly intervals. The pilot must specify the area’s boundaries by
means of a map provided with the flight notification details.
4.8 A pilot-in-command must make sure, by reference to the forecast, that the route selected for
a VFR flight will enable the aircraft to be flown with visual reference to the ground or water for
significant portions of the route, and in the vicinity of the destination aerodrome.
5 SEPARATION STANDARDS
5.1 REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
5.1.1 Application of RVSM
5.1.1.1 Australia applies a 1000 ft reduced vertical separation minimum between approved air-
craft operating between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.
5.1.1.2 RVSM does not apply to formation flights and civil formation flights will not be issued
clearance to operate between FL290 and FL410 inclusive.

5.1.4 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.
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”.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 901
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
5.1.4.7 Failure of the Altitude Alert System. If the altitude alert system fails, the pilot must
notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.4.8 Failure of the Autopilot with Height Lock. If the autopilot with height lock fails, the
pilot must initiate the following actions sequentially;
a. Maintain CFL.
b. Evaluate the aircraft’s capability to maintain altitude through manual control.
c. Assess the situation regarding possible conflicting traffic.
d. Alert nearby aircraft by turning on all exterior lights and, if not in VHF contact with ATC,
broadcast advice of failure, position, flight level, and intentions on 121.5 MHz.
e. Notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM” and the intended course
of action.
5.1.4.9 In Oceanic Class A Airspace. Possible courses of action for the pilot following a failure
of the autopilot with height lock in oceanic Class A airspace include the following:
a. Provided that the aircraft can maintain CFL, continue at that level.
b. If the aircraft cannot maintain CFL and is unable to obtain a revised ATC clearance, leave
the assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left, whenever this is possible,
taking account of adjacent routes.
5.1.5 ATC Responsibilities
5.1.5.1 ATC will apply alternative separation to any aircraft that has reported “NEGATIVE
RVSM” in accordance with requirements specified in this Section.
5.1.6 Weather and Wake Turbulence, and System Alerts
5.1.6.1 The pilot of an aircraft operating within the RVSM flight level band that encounters
weather turbulence that affects aircraft capability to maintain CFL, or wake turbulence, or experi-
ences distracting aircraft system alerts, must notify ATC and request a revised clearance before
deviating from track or CFL.
5.1.6.2 Oceanic Control Area Only. If a revised clearance is not possible or practicable, the
pilot of an aircraft operating in an oceanic control area may initiate the following temporary lateral
offset procedure with the intention of returning to the cleared route as soon as possible:
a. If possible, establish contact with other aircraft on the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency
123.45 MHz.
b. Initiate a lateral offset (one or both aircraft may initiate) not to exceed 2 NM from the cleared
route or track, provided that:
1. as soon as practicable, the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC that temporary
lateral offset action has been taken and the reason for doing so; and
2. the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC when the aircraft is re-established on the
assigned route(s) or track(s).

5.2.2.3 ATC applies the following distance wake turbulence separation minima between the rel-
evant categories of aircraft:
5.2.2.4 Where the required separation can be determined by distance using an aircraft report or
ATS Surveillance System, ATC need not apply the time standard to an affected:
a. arriving aircraft;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 905
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
b. departing aircraft unless it is departing from an intermediate point as described in Time Sep-
aration Minima.
5.2.2.5 ATC is not required to apply wake turbulence separation in the following situations:
a. when a MEDIUM fixed-wing aircraft of less than 25,000kg MTOW precedes a LIGHT aircraft;
b. when an aircraft is landing behind another aircraft that is taking-off on the same runway;
c. subject to pilot waivers, if a pilot has initiated a waiver of the relevant departure wake turbu-
lence separation minimum;
d. when a VFR aircraft is in flight and is:
1. operating directly behind a preceding HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft; or
2. landing on the same runway as a preceding HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft; or
3. landing on a parallel runway separated by less than 760m from the runway of a preced-
ing HEAVY or MEDIUM aircraft;
e. when an IFR aircraft is in flight and the pilot has:
1. reported the preceding aircraft in sight; and
2. accepted responsibility to follow, or maintain 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
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 906
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
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.
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.
8.6 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.
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 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
1.1.1 Aircraft must be equipped with radio communications systems capable of continuous com-
munication according to the flight classification and airspace category. The systems specified in
the following table are the minimum required for the particular operation and, except where other-
wise indicated, must be of a type approved by the CASA, properly installed in the aircraft and
serviceable on the departure of the flight.

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:
a. be capable of operating at those frequencies appropriate to the area of operation;
b. have a selectable frequency range that is 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;
and
c. be capable of delivering a peak envelope power to the antenna transmission line of at least
100 watts and not greater than 400 watts under standard conditions.
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 airports of departure and arrival, and cruising levels that could be required for
any emergency and/or abnormal operation enroute. However, where continuous communication
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.

VHF radio may be used by pilots of:
a. VFR private and airwork aircraft with a MTOW not exceeding:

1.2.1.3 In special circumstances, a pilot may request to change frequency to meet operational
report, broadcast, or communication requirements. ATC will facilitate a pilot request for approval
to leave a control frequency to make such reports or broadcasts. When impracticable to approve
the frequency change at the time requested due to control requirements, ATC will accommodate
the request as soon as possible. In determining when to make reports and broadcasts, pilots
should consider the possibility of delays in being released from the ATC frequency. Requests for
frequency change should specify the expected duration when the change required is not perma-
nent.
1.2.1.4 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 A pilot must inform ATS if the average cruising speed, either TAS or MACH whichever is
applicable, between reporting points, varies or is expected to vary, by a value equal to or more
than:
a. 5% TAS
b. 0.01 MACH
from that given in the flight plan.
1.2.1.7 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.
1.2.1.8 Reports of “CHANGING TO (location) CTAF (frequency)” are required by pilots of IFR
flights when inbound to a non-controlled airport when the ATC frequency will not, or cannot, be
monitored.
1.2.1.9 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.
1.2.1.10 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
training or local flights at non-controlled airports.
1.2.1.11 Gliders are encouraged, but not required, to monitor the Area VHF when operating
above 5000 ft in Class E and G airspace.
1.2.1.12 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.

1.2.1.14 If calls are not made clearly and concisely using the standard phraseology, confusion
can arise at airports that are close together where the CTAF is the same.
1.2.1.14.1 Pilots operating at, or in the vicinity of non-controlled airports 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-
craft at non-controlled airports). Pilots should also make additional broadcasts when considered
necessary to minimize any risk of collision (CAR 166 C (2)).
1.2.1.14.2 At airports where the carriage of radio is not mandatory, good airmanship dictates
that pilots of radio-equipped aircraft would also monitor the radio and broadcast their intentions in
accordance with the minimum calls in the table below (Summary of broadcasts – All aircraft at
non-controlled airports). Pilots should also observe local and published noise abatement proce-
dures and curfews.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 913

COMMUNICATIONS
NOTE 1: CAR 166C requires a pilot to make a broadcast whenever it is reasonably necessary to
avoid a collision, or the risk of a collision, with another aircraft at or in the vicinity of a non-control-
led airport.
NOTE 2: Carriage of radio, and being qualified to use it, are mandatory at non-controlled airports
depicted in Airport Directory as being certified, registered or military. However, CAR 166E allows,
subject to compliance with specified procedures, for use of such airports without serviceable
radio.
NOTE 3: Some distances above refer to the runway threshold and others to the ARP. Pilots
should be aware that a GNSS indication of 3 NM from an airport may not be 3 NM to the runway
threshold.
NOTE 4: An aircraft is in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport if it is in airspace other than con-
trolled airspace, within 10 NM of the airport and at a height above the airport that could result in
conflict with operations at the airport.
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 airport
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-controlled airports 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 airport, the pilot may continue to land at that airport provi-
ded:
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 airport with an unserviceable radio and fly to another airport for
repairs, provided that the aircraft – where equipped – displays its external lights and its trans-
ponder turned on.
1.2.3.5.4 A pilot should avoid planning to arrive or depart an airport for radio repairs during the
known hours of scheduled RPT operation. For airports where there is a UNICOM or CA/GRS,
pilots should by alternative means where possible make contact and advise their intentions before
conducting operations.
1.2.3.5.5 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-controlled certified, registered or military airport. The aircraft must be oper-
ated:
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

2 COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
2.1 RADIO FREQUENCIES
2.1.1 General
2.1.1.1 Air-ground communications in Australian FIRs are conducted by radio telephony in the
VHF, UHF and HF bands. Air-to-air communications are conducted in the VHF band. The require-
ments for carriage of radio communication systems are contained in paragraph 1.1. Frequencies
are published on applicable Enroute/Area and Terminal charts. VHF frequencies are published/
depicted on Jeppesen Terminal charts.
2.1.1.2 VHF is the primary frequency band, with HF only being used when outside VHF cover-
age. Area VHF frequencies and their estimated coverage are shown on Enroute/Area charts.
2.1.1.3 UHF is intended primarily for use with military aircraft. At some locations, re-transmit
facilities, which permit UHF and VHF aircraft to copy VHF/UHF transmissions conducted with a
common ATS unit, are installed.
2.1.2 HF — Domestic Operations
2.1.2.1 The National Aeronautical HF network appropriate to the area of operations is shown on
applicable Enroute/Area charts. In Trans-Continental and Oceanic Control Areas (TCTA/OCTA),
the ground organization may nominate the appropriate International Network to be used by air-
craft. For those operations outside VHF coverage, where the maintenance of a continuous two-
way communications watch with an airways operations unit is mandatory, the carriage of suitable
HF frequencies is required.
2.1.3 HF — International Operations
2.1.3.1 HF networks to be used in order of preference are:
a. the appropriate International Network (SEA-3, SP-6, INO-1); or
b. the national network for Domestic Operations.
2.1.4 Interpilot Air-to-Air Communication
2.1.4.1 In accordance with regional agreements, 123.45 MHz is designated as the air-to-air VHF
communications channel. Use of this channel will enable aircraft engaged in flights over remote
and oceanic areas out of range of VHF ground stations and not in the vicinity of a non-controlled
airport depicted on a chart to exchange necessary operational information and to facilitate the res-
olution 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.
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.
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.

2.3 UNICOM
2.3.1 Unicom (Universal Communications) is a non-ATS communications service provided to
enhance the value of information normally available about a non-controlled airport.
2.3.2 The primary function of the frequency used for Unicom services where the Unicom is the
CTAF is to provide pilots with the means to make standard positional broadcasts when 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;
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).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 922
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS
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).
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.
2.6.3.4 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
– Perth ATC Center: 08 9277 1086
– Sydney ATC Center: 02 9556 6564
– SAR Hotline: 1800 815 257
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.
3.2.2 FLIGHTWATCH HF Organization
3.3.3 This will ensure that only the route, area and location NOTAM held are updated and will
avoid repetition. For example:
FLIGHTWATCH, ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE, REQUEST UPDATE ON SPFIB (OR AVFAX)
BRIEFING NUMBER NINER ZERO ZERO ZERO ONE (90001).
In Australian continental airspace, VHF voice is normally the primary medium for communication.
Within East Coast SSR Coverage flight crews should not initiate CPDLC messaging except:
a. when transmitting position reports in accordance with para 6.5.1; or
b. when authorized by the controller; or
c. in an emergency.
5.3.3 Outside East coast SSR coverage, ATC and pilots may use CPDLC to augment VHF com-
munications.
5.3.4 Where CPDLC is to be used as the primary means of communication, flight crews will be
instructed on voice when a transfer to CPDLC is required by use of the phraseology:
“TRANSFER TO (MELBOURNE / BRISBANE) CENTER ON DATA LINK. MONITOR [frequency].”
5.3.5 To transfer an aircraft from CPDLC to voice as the primary means of communication, flight
crews will be instructed to CONTACT the appropriate frequency.
5.3.6 When crossing a FIR boundary, the transferring ATS unit will instruct flight crews to either
CONTACT or MONITOR the next ATS unit on the appropriate frequency. When instructed to
MONITOR the next ATS unit, CPDLC will remain the primary means of communication.
5.3.7 CPDLC messages must be constructed using message elements from, in order of prefer-
ence:
a. the CPDLC message set;
b. pre-formatted free text message elements;
c. standardized free text message elements; and
d. free text message elements.
5.3.8 Free text message elements should only be used to supplement an existing message or
when an appropriate message from para 5.3.6 does not exist. The use of free text should be kept
to a minimum.
5.3.9 To ensure correct synchronization of messages, dialogues initiated by voice must, when-
ever possible, be closed by voice. Dialogues opened by CPDLC must be closed by CPDLC.
5.3.10 To avoid ambiguity, a CPDLC downlink message should not contain more than one
clearance request.
5.3.11 If a CPDLC downlink message contains multiple clearance requests and not all of the
requested clearances are available, the controller will respond with the uplink message UNABLE.
The controller may subsequently uplink a separate CPDLC message containing any requested
clearances that are available.
5.3.12 If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a CPDLC message, clarification must be sought
by voice.
5.3.13 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 929
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS
5.3.14 The downlink response WILCO indicates that the flight crew has accepted the full terms
of the entire uplink message including any clearance or instruction.
5.3.15 The downlink response UNABLE indicates that the flight crew is unable to accept the
uplinked clearance or instruction. The flight crew must continue to operate in accordance with the
most recently accepted clearance and/or instructions.
5.3.16 The use of the uplink STANDBY message element provides advice that the downlink
request is being assessed and a short-term delay of less than 10 minutes can be expected until a
response will be sent. The original message remains open.
5.3.17 The use of the uplink REQUEST DEFERRED message element provides advice that the
downlink request is being assessed and a longer-term delay of greater than 10 minutes can be
expected until a response will be sent. The original message remains open.
NOTE: The above table applies to logons from airborne aircraft only. Flight crews who logon while
on the ground at Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond must logon to YMMM.
5.4.4 When instructed to logon by voice, the flight crew must read back the logon code.
Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft remaining wholly within East coast SSR Coverage are not
required to logon for data link services.
5.4.6 Flight crews of operators participating in PDC at Australian airports, must not initiate a
logon 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 ATS appropriate unit between 15 and 45 minutes
prior to crossing the FIR boundary. CPDLC and ADS-C connections will be established automati-
cally by the ATS unit concerned.
5.4.8 For aircraft entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs from a data link FIR, the
CPDLC connection will be either transferred automatically by the Address Forwarding process, or
the transferring ATS unit will instruct the flight crew to logon manually at an appropriate time / dis-
tance prior to the FIR boundary.
5.4.9 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 the
appropriate ATS unit prior to the FIR boundary.
5.5.2 Following this initial CPDLC position report, additional CPDLC or voice position reports are
not required unless specifically requested by ATC. A CPDLC position report is not required when
an aircraft is transferred from voice to CPDLC providing a report was downlinked earlier in
accordance with paragraph 5.5.1.
5.5.3 For non-identified aircraft, ADS–C reporting fulfills position reporting requirements. In the
event of ADS–C failure, the pilot will be instructed to resume position reporting by either voice or
CPDLC as appropriate.
a. revisions of greater than two (2) minutes to a previous flight crew advised estimate (i.e., by
voice or CPDLC); or
b. following a flight crew-initiated action (e.g., speed change) resulting in an amended estimate
of greater than two (2) minutes.
5.9.2 If required, flight crews shall advise a revised estimate by one of the following methods:
a. by voice report; or
b. a CPDLC position report containing the revised estimate; or
c. the CPDLC free text message, “REVISED ETA [position] [time]”.
6 RADIOTELEPHONY PROCEDURES
6.1 INTRODUCTION
6.1.1 The communication procedures, phraseologies and requirements contained in this section
have been selected to harmonize with ICAO and international practices, where applicable. Addi-
tional phrases to supplement where ICAO is silent have been included.
6.1.2 Primary reference documents on radiotelephony are ICAO Doc 4444, Doc 9432, and
Annex 10. ATS and pilots should refer to these documents to obtain additional information as nec-
essary. Only procedures appropriate to Australia and commonly used phrases are contained in
this section.
6.1.3 Use of standard phrases for radiotelephony communication between aircraft and ground
stations is essential to avoid misunderstanding the intent of messages and to reduce the time
required for communication.
6.1.4 Where circumstances warrant, and no phraseology is available, clear and concise plain
language should be used to indicate intentions.
6.1.5 Phraseologies contained in this section are generic, and, although primarily reflecting a
controlled airspace environment, pilots operating in Class “G” airspace should use these generic
phrases unless specific Class “G” phrases are shown.

6.11 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.:
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.:
BREAK — I hereby indicate the separation between portions of the message (to be used where
there is no clear distinction between the text and other portions of the message).
BREAK BREAK — I hereby indicate the separation between messages transmitted to different
aircraft in a very busy environment.
CANCEL — Annul the previously transmitted clearance.
CHECK — Examine a system or procedure (no answer is normally expected).
CLEARED — Authorized to proceed under the conditions specified.
CONFIRM — Have I correctly received the following ...? or, Did you correctly receive this mes-
sage?
CONTACT — Establish radio contact with ....
CORRECT — That is correct.
CORRECTION — An error has been made in this transmission (or message indicated). The cor-
rect version is ....
DISREGARD — Consider that transmission as not sent.
HOW DO YOU READ? — What is the readability of my transmission? The readability scale is:
1. Unreadable
2. Readable now and then
3. Readable but with difficulty
4. Readable
5. Perfectly readable
I SAY AGAIN — I repeat for clarity or emphasis.
MAYDAY — My aircraft and its occupants are threatened by grave and imminent danger and/or I
require immediate assistance.
MAINTAIN — Continue in accordance with the condition(s) specified or in its literal sense, e.g.
“Maintain VFR”.
MONITOR — Listen out on (frequency).
NEGATIVE — “No” or “Permission not granted” or “That is not correct”.
OVER — My transmission is ended and I expect a response from you (not normally used in VHF
communication).
OUT — My transmission is ended and I expect no response from you (not normally used in VHF
communication).
PAN PAN — I have an urgent message to transmit concerning the safety of my aircraft or other
vehicle or of some person on board or within sight but I do not require immediate assistance.
READ BACK — Repeat all, or the specified part, of this message back to me exactly as received.

WORDS TWICE — As information: Since communication is difficult, every word or group of
words, in this message will be sent twice.
— As a request: Communication is difficult. Please send every word, or group of words, twice;
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.

COMMUNICATIONS
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.
6.20.4 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”).
6.20.5 Civil formation flights of Australian registered aircraft may use the suffix “FORMATION”
after one of the following call signs:
a. the registration of the formation leader e.g., “ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE FORMATION”; or
b. the approved telephony designator of the formation leader, with or without an alpha or
numeric, e.g., “JETSPEED FORMATION” or “JETSPEED ONE FORMATION” or “JET-

10.3.7 Reports
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 1024
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES
c. provided with a track clearance direct to an RNAV way-point to intercept the nominated track
(for an RNAV or RNP approved aircraft).
3.18 Position information will be passed to aircraft in one of the following forms:
a. a bearing and distance (using points of the compass) from the airport reference point, a navi-
gation aid, or a known position;
b. a heading and distance to the appropriate reporting point, enroute navigation aid, or
approach aid;
c. over a well known geographical position;
d. a distance to the runway touchdown (as track miles to run).
3.19 An aircraft under ATS surveillance service control will be advised of its position in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
a. on identification, unless the identification is established:
1. based on the pilot’s report of the aircraft position, or within 1 NM of the runway on
departure, if the observed position on the situation display is consistent with the air-
craft’s time of departure; or
2. by use of ADS-B aircraft identification, SSR Mode S aircraft identification or assigned
discrete SSR codes if the location of the observed position indication is consistent with
the current flight plan of the aircraft; or
3. by transfer of identification;
b. when the pilot requests this information;
c. when the pilot’s estimate differs significantly from the controller’s estimate based on the
observed position;
d. when the pilot is instructed to resume own navigation after vectoring if the current instruc-
tions had diverted the aircraft from a previously assigned route;
e. immediately before termination of ATS surveillance service, if the aircraft is observed to devi-
ate from its intended route.
f. as soon, after first contact with approach radar control, as a distance to run to touchdown
becomes evident;
g. when a regular circuit pattern is used to vector on to the final approach path (at least once on
each leg);
h. when a straight-in approach is provided.
4.2 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.
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 1027
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 1028
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.
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.
1.3.1 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 necessary.
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.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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 runway below 2000 ft AGL is not advised, nor is landing
without first ascertaining that the cable is on the ground and not across the landing path. Aerotow
and winch launching are possible up to 4000 ft AGL but launches to 1500 ft or 2000 ft AGL are
normal.
2.1.3 In Class “G” airspace, gliders may operate no-radio, or on frequencies 122.5, 122.7 or
122.9 MHz. Despite this, glider pilots are encouraged to listen out on the Area VHF and to
respond if in potential conflict with other aircraft. Radio-equipped gliders at, or in the vicinity of,
non-controlled airports must use the appropriate VHF in accordance with the table on Air Traffic
Control, Communications — Summary of Reports and Broadcast Requirements. Unless other-
wise authorized, gliding operations in controlled airspace (including Class “E”) must be conducted
using the appropriate ATC frequency.
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 A listening watch on the appropriate VHF channel must be maintained while operating at
or in the vicinity of non-controlled airports by the tug pilot. The winch or tow-vehicle driver should
also maintain a listening watch during wire launching. The tug pilot or winch/car driver may be
able to advise glider traffic information to inbound or taxiing aircraft.
NOTE: The appropriate VHF is as detailed in the table on Air Traffic Control, Communications —
Summary of Reports and Broadcast Requirements.
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 1033
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1034

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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.
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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1036
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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-controlled airport, the appropriate
frequency as detailed in Air Traffic Control, Communications — Summary of Reports and
Broadcast Requirements paragraph 1.2.1.4.2.
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.
5.5.2 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.
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.

6.3.3 Except when operating on preferred scenic routes, pilots are requested to maintain a mini-
mum altitude of 2000 ft above the surface of the park (the surface being defined as the highest
point of terrain, and any object on it, within a radius of 600m of a point vertically below the air-
craft), unless operation at this altitude would jeopardize the safe conduct of the flight.
6.3.3.1 This altitude recognizes the special terrain / weather conditions and the overlying air-

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

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
14.1 An aircraft operated by fire authorities which requires priority should notify the flight as Fire
or Flood Relief (FFR) and use the appropriate special task call-sign.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1053

SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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).
15.3.2.3 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.
15.5 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-Controlled Airports
15.5.2.1 In VMC by day applicable to the aircraft category, helicopters need not join the circuit
via standard airplane entry procedures, at the pilot’s discretion.
15.5.2.2 As an alternative, under such conditions, helicopters may join the circuit area at 500 ft
AGL from any direction, subject to the normal restrictions of flight over populous areas.
15.5.2.3 Helicopters must avoid other circuit traffic and descend to land at any location
assessed by the pilot as being suitable for use as a HLS, provided:
a. the intended landing point is located outside the flight strip of the runway in use;
b. the final approach is clear of the extended centerline of the runway in use;
c. post-landing positioning of the helicopter is by air transit or by taxiing, as appropriate.
15.5.3 Pilots of radio-equipped helicopters must broadcast intentions on the appropriate fre-
quency.
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-Controlled Airports
15.6.2.1 The following circuit operating procedures apply:
a. Helicopters may be operated on contra-direction circuits and parallel to the airplane traffic
pattern at a lower altitude than that traffic, but not below 500 ft above the 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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1059
AUSTRALIA
CONTINGENCY PROCEDURES
offset 15 NM 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 10 NM of any adjacent ATS route.
1.8.5 Subsequent Actions. The following actions should be followed subsequent to an aircraft
deviation in OCA:
a. Aircraft Able to Maintain Level:
Once the aircraft has deviated 10 NM from the assigned track centerline, climb or descend to
select a final level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft if at or below FL410, or
1000 ft 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 if at or
below FL410 or 1000 ft if above FL410. Pilots should consider the possibility that aircraft
below on the same track may be flying a 1 or 2 NM strategic lateral offset procedure.
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 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.

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.
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 1076
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1080
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 1082
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.
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.
Operators of aircraft in any category may elect not to allow their pilots to participate in LAHSO. In
these cases, ATS should be advised in writing, specifying the company’s withdrawal from active,
passive or both modes of participation.
NOTE: This notification should be made to Airservices Airline Relations Branch and/or HQ 44WG.
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.)”
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.

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1088
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
a. Strategic — Generally occurs more than one day prior to the day of operation. This is known
as schedule coordination and is managed by the specific airport operator, who may use an
independent coordinator to manage the scheme.
b. Pre tactical — Occurs on the day prior to operation through the implementation of Traffic
Management Initiatives (TMI) such as a Ground Delay Program (GDP). Airservices Australia
National Operations Centre manages this service.
c. Tactical — Occurs on the day of operation and uses real time traffic information to sequence
traffic to the destination airport. Airservices Australia Air Traffic Controllers manage this serv-
ice.
Tactical flow management takes precedence over pre tactical air traffic flow management which in
turn takes precedence over strategic air traffic flow management.
Strategic — Schedule Coordination
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, all aircraft operators (excluding emergency and state aircraft) must obtain time-slots
(slots) for all arrivals and departures at Sydney, Brisbane and Perth Airports in advance of the
operation.
Airport Coordination Australia manages the allocation of all slots at Sydney, Brisbane and Perth
Airports and slots for international services at all other Australian International gateways on behalf
of the airport owners and/or operators and the Commonwealth where applicable.
Allocation of slots is undertaken in accordance with the airport facility limitations, the Sydney Air-
port Demand Management Act 1997 and regulations made under the Act, and the Slot Manage-
ment and Compliance Schemes approved under the Act. Airport Coordination Australia (ACA), as
the coordinator, can be contacted by:
ACA slots are obtained from Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) from MON–FRI 2200 – 0600
UTC. Arrival slots allocated by ACA may be subject to change by ATFM due to operational con-
straints.
Notification of changes to slots allocated to existing scheduled flights should be advised to Air-
ports Coordination Authority in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate traffic man-
agement scheme.
ACA slots may be obtained outside ACA office hours for short notice non-scheduled flights from
Airservices Australia National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020 626. These Slots will be
allocated from the available pool.
Pre Tactical — Ground Delay Program
Airservices Australia publishes Ground Delay Programs (GDP) for Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne
and Perth Airports. Additional operating procedures are contained in ERSA FAC for the specified
airport.
Pilots must obtain an Air Traffic Flow Management Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT) for their
departure airport for operations into the GDP airport. These times can be obtained through the
airline operator or the Airservices National Operations Centre (NOC) on 1800 020 626.
Flights from all Australian airports must operate in accordance with the COBT except that COBT
generated by the Perth Departure Management Program will take precedence over COBT gener-
ated by the Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney GDP.
All aircraft subject to a ground delay program must operate within –5/+15 minutes of their alloca-
ted COBT. Pilots unable to operate within the compliance window should contact their company
or the National Operations Centre to obtain a new COBT. ATC are not able to provide new or
amended COBT.
NOTE: Failure to obtain or comply with a COBT and/or submit a flight plan for a flight to a pro-
gram airport may result in extensive airborne holding or no airways clearance being issued.
Towers will only issue a clearance to push back or taxi earlier than COBT –5 minutes for a signifi-
cant operational requirement or if there is a reasonable expectation that, due to taxi or holding
point delays, the required amount of ground delay will be achieved.
Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and descent
profiles.
Pilots of scheduled flights will be advised of their current Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT)
through their company.

Non-scheduled flights. Prior to submitting a flight plan, pilots of non-scheduled flights intending
to operate into a GDP airport during the hours of program operation must call the NOC for a Cal-
culated Off Blocks Time (COBT), and an ACA slot if required, for their flight. Where possible it is
recommended that the ACA Slot be obtained from ACA prior to contacting the NOC.
Where possible itinerant operators should contact the NOC prior to 0800 UTC to ensure their
flight is included in the GDP for the following day. The NOC can be contacted by email
[email protected] or telephone 1800 020 626 H24.
Operators who contact the NOC after the running of GDPs will be allocated the first available
COBT in the relevant GDP.
The following information is required for non-scheduled flights when contacting the NOC and must
be provided at least one hour prior to the proposed operation. Any changes to the information pro-

Where ADS-B equipment becomes unserviceable in flight, Airservices Australia may approve the
flight to continue to destination or to a place where suitable repairs can be made. Approval of
such flight is subject to traffic management considerations at the time.
Once an approval is obtained, clearance to operate at or above FL290 may be issued by Air Traf-
fic Control at the time of flight and is subject to traffic management considerations. Aircraft equip-
ped with ADS-B will be afforded priority. The pilot in command or aircraft operator should plan
their fuel requirements on the basis that FL290 and above may not be available.
State Aircraft
State aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment should operate within the
provisions shown in ADS-B EQUIPMENT above.
Where state aircraft do not operate within the provisions shown in ADS-B EQUIPMENT above the
ADS-B equipment non-compliance must be detailed in the flight notification. Non-ADS-B equipped
state aircraft have equal priority with ADS-B-equipped aircraft in ADS-B mandated airspace.
NOTE 1: The operation of non compliant ADS-B equipment can significantly affect and degrade
ATS surveillance capability.
NOTE 2: State aircraft in flight that have not flight planned as above may request operation at or

(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.”

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 1112
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.

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.

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-

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

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;

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.
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;

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.
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.
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:

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).
– report “Unable RNAV [due (reason)]” upon the loss of RNAV capacity required in order to
get a radar guidance;
• for a SID:
– report “Unable RNAV [due (reason)]” in order to get a radar guidance or to be cleared to
carry out a SID procedure.
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
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').
Tahiti FIR designated airspace RNP10 allows reduced separation by ATC: 50 NM lateral/50 NM
longitudinal between aircraft RNP10 certified.
In order to access ATC reduced separation in RNP10 certified airspace, aircraft must be certified
by their State of Registry and operators practicing in the designated area must have obtained an
operational approval of RNP10 capability.

3.3.1.2 e) For flights during which an aircraft must cross a border, the flight plan is given at least
30 minutes before the estimated time of departure from the parking stand.
3.6.2.2 c) The French regulation requires pilots to notify any temporal gap about their position
on the route, compared to previous information transmitted to air traffic services, if this one is
higher than 3 minutes instead of the 2 minutes required by amendment NR 43 of ICAO's 2nd
appendix.
4.2.2 A special VFR clearance is required to enter or operate in a control area, when the pilot
considers that the visual meteorological conditions are not met or will not be met anymore.
4.5 VFR flights may be authorized above FL290, within restricted airspaces (TSA, TRA or CBA).
4.6 b) Unmanned aircraft, slope gliders, balloons and ULGs may operate below 150 meters.
Within the frame of an aircraft instruction flight, this height is restricted to 50m (150 ft) for training
to forced landing maneuvers or voluntary flight interruptions; moreover, a distance of 150m with
relation to any person, vehicle, ship at surface or man-made obstacle shall be kept at any time.
5.3.1 In uncontrolled airspace, the first usable flight level in IFR shall keep a margin of at least
500 ft above the higher of the two following levels: 3000 ft AMSL or 1000 ft ASFC, in order to
protect the IFRs with regard to the VFRs which may operate at the edges of the clouds below
3000 ft AMSL and 1000 ft ASFC.
5.3.2 Any IFR aircraft out of controlled airspace shall come into contact with the control unit pro-
viding flight information and keep listening.
ANNEX 11
2.6.1 It is possible for VFR flights to operate in class A airspace, with an exemption obtained
prior to the flight from the relevant ATS authority, and after obtaining clearance.
3.1 In class E airspace, night-time VFR flights are controlled.
3.3.4 VFRs can be admitted in class A (see 2.6.1) following an exemption. The separation
between these VFRs and the IFRs is then ensured by the control.
Furthermore, the control bodies ensure the separation between IFRs and VFRs at night time
(when these are controlled). Lastly, in France, the control bodies do not ensure the separation
between special VFRs.

DETAILS OF BROADCASTS
TIBA FREQUENCY
The VHF RTF frequency 133.3 MHz is designated as TIBA frequency to be used for broadcasts.
Where VHF is used for air-ground communications with ATS and an aircraft has only two service-
able VHF sets, one should be tuned to the appropriate ATS frequency and the other to the TIBA
frequency.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1152

RULES AND PROCEDURES
LISTENING WATCH
A listening watch shall be maintained on the TIBA frequency 3 minutes before entering Class “G”
airspace until leaving this airspace. For an aircraft taking off from any location within Class “G”
airspace, listening watch shall start as soon as appropriate before take-off and be maintained until
leaving the airspace.
TIME OF BROADCASTS
A broadcast shall be made:
a. 3 minutes before take-off for an aircraft taking off from any location within Class “G” air-
space;
b. 3 minutes before entering Class “G” airspace;
c. 3 minutes prior to crossing any non-ATC manned airport;
d. 3 minutes before a change in flight level;
e. at the time of a change in flight level;
f. as soon as practicable after take-off; and
g. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
FORMS OF BROADCAST

COLLISION AVOIDANCE
If, on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediate
action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk, and this cannot be achieved in accordance
with the right-of-way provisions of Annex 2, the pilot should:
a. unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend or climb
500 ft;
b. display all available aircraft lighting which would improve the visual detection of the aircraft;
c. as soon as possible, reply to the broadcast advising action being taken;
d. notify the action taken on the appropriate ATS frequency; and
e. as soon as practicable, resume normal flight level, notifying the action on the appropriate
ATS frequency.
The following RNAV routes within Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu FIRs are RNP 10:
ADS-C/CPDLC PROCEDURES
Data link services are available to FANS 1/A compatible aircraft (which are compliant to RTCA
DO- 258A or ED EUROCAE 100A) on following airways within Kuala Lumpur FIR on a 24-hour
basis;

The introduction of data link services does not affect current procedures for non data link equip-
ped aircraft operating in the same airspace.
Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance
(ADS) data link applications will be used to provide services to FANS 1/A equipped aircraft, in
particular over the Bay of Bengal beyond the range of existing radar and VHF voice communica-
tions.
The use of CPDLC in Kuala Lumpur FIR is not mandatory and conducted at the discretion of the
controllers and aircrews involved. Aircrews are encouraged to use CPDLC to the maximum extent
possible, as alternative communication means, also to ease the R/T frequency load.
Messages will be transferred by VHF and satellite data link.
Logon Procedures
The AFN LOGON address for the Kuala Lumpur FIR is WMFC.
To avoid automatic rejection of the LOGON, the flight identification number used by the pilot in the
LOGON process must be identical to the flight identification number filed in the flight plan.
A LOGON must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initiated by
the ground system. This is achieved via the ATS facility notification (AFN) LOGON process to be
initiated by the pilot. Aircraft requesting data link services inbound to Kuala Lumpur FIR are
required to LOGON onto WMFC at least 10 minutes prior to the estimated time for entering Kuala
Lumpur FIR.
Data link equipped aircraft departing from airports within the Kuala Lumpur FIR and requesting
data link may LOGON to WMFC prior to departure. Pilots who are unable to establish a data link
connection are to inform ATC on VHF or HF RTF.
NOTE: Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC is not available.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1157

RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
START-UP PROCEDURES
At Kuala Lumpur Intl (WMKK) and Subang Aziz Shah Intl (WMSA), the following procedures shall
apply.
The pilot-in-command shall:
a. Obtain ATC clearance from Lumpur Delivery;
b. On receipt of ATC clearance, contact Lumpur Ground/Subang Ground for start-up and/or
pushback clearance within 5 minutes;
c. Obtain taxi instructions and maintain a listening watch on the prescribed Surface Movement
Control frequency while taxiing;
d. Change to Airport Control frequency when instructed.
ALTIMETRY
The Altimeter Setting Procedures in the Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu FIRs generally conform
to ICAO practices.
A pilot-in-command shall report:
a. At the time of leaving a level for a newly assigned level;
b. When leaving or passing through such other levels as may be specified by ATC; and
c. On reaching an assigned level.
A QFE altimeter setting will be made available on request but reports to ATC shall be made in
altitudes.

HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with ATC Chapter ICAO Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) Part IV Hold-

Outbound time or DME distance may be shortened, provided that the wind velocity at the relevant
altitudes has been confirmed by an immediately preceding instrument approach to the effect that
minimum altitude may be reached at an acceptable descent rate during final approach.
When outbound time and an outbound DME distance limit for a reversal procedure are shown
together on an approach chart, the turn onto the inbound track shall be started within the specified
time or upon reaching the limiting DME distance, whichever occurs first.
Visual Approach at Night
For a visual approach at night, it is essential that the pilot has the runway lights in sight. Sighting
only of the airport beacon, REIL or approach lights is insufficient.
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.
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 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.
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. 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.
NON-RVSM OPERATIONS
Civil Aircraft
Operators of non-RVSM approved civil aircraft may flight plan with the intention to operate within,
or transit vertically through, RVSM airspace on an ad hoc basis. This would normally be limited
to an aircraft that:
a. is being delivered for initial acceptance, change of ownership, or lease; or
b. was formerly RVSM approved but has experienced an equipment failure and is being flown
to a maintenance facility for repair to meet RVSM requirements and/or obtain approval, or is
transporting externally a spare engine or strut assembly; or
c. is being utilized for mercy or humanitarian purposes.
They must include “STS/NONRVSM” in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan to indicate their intention
to operate in RVSM airspace.
Civil Aircraft Fuel Requirements
Operators should be aware that flight within, or vertical transit through, RVSM airspace may not
be available and should carry adequate fuel for flight at FL280 or below.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1168

RULES AND PROCEDURES
State Aircraft
Operators of non-RVSM approved State aircraft (military, customs or police service) may flight
plan to operate within, or transit vertically through, RVSM airspace.
They must include “STS/NONRVSM STATE” in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan to advise their
intention to operate in RVSM airspace.
Transponder Mandatory Airspace is designated airspace inside which aircraft are required to
have a transponder operating including Mode C, allowing enhanced performance of ground-
based (e.g. SSR) and airborne (e.g. ACAS) surveillance 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
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1169
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
Timing of TIBA
a. 10 minutes before entering TIBA airspace or, for a pilot taking off from an airport located
within the lateral limits of TIBA airspace, as soon as appropriate prior to or after take-off;
b. 10 minutes prior to, and crossing any reporting point;
c. at 10 minute intervals between reporting points;
d. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS route;
e. where possible 2 to 5 minutes before a change in flight level or altitude;
f. at the time of a change in flight level or altitude;
g. when reaching new flight level or altitude; and
h. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
Content of TIBA
A broadcast is specified when reaching new flight level or altitude; Example: ALL STATIONS,

Collision Avoidance Under TIBA
Unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 500 ft, or 1000
ft if above FL290 in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 2000 ft is applied;
Response to a system-initiated ACAS Resolution Advisory has precedence over other instructions
concerning collision avoidance under TIBA.

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
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
report position using voice except:
– that a CPDLC position report is required at the FIR boundary on entry to the Auckland Oceanic
FIR (includes outbound from New Zealand); and
– When requested by ATC.
Using ADS-B
Aircraft equipped with ADS-B which has an aircraft identification capability must transmit the air-
craft identification as specified in Item 7 of the ICAO flight plan or, when no flight plan has been
filed, the aircraft registration.
Within Auckland Oceanic FIR (west of 180 deg) and the New Zealand domestic FIR, an aircraft
carrying 1090 MHz extended squitter (1090ES) ADS-B equipment shall disable ADS-B transmis-
sions unless:
a. The aircraft emits position information of an accuracy and integrity consistent with the trans-
mitted value of the position quality indicator, or
b. The aircraft always transmits a value of 0 (zero) for one or more of the position quality indica-
tors (NUC, NIC, NAC OR SIL), or
c. The operator has received specific dispensation from the Director of Civil Aviation.
NOTE: Downlinked ADS-B data will not be used by the ATC system for determining aircraft posi-
tion when any of the position quality indicators (NUCp, NIC, NAC or SIL) have a value of 0 (zero).
Unattended Airports (New Zealand)
Pilots of aircraft operating outside controlled airspace below 3000 ft AGL within a radius of 10 NM
of an unattended airport (including a controlled or AFIS airport outside the hours of attendance)
must maintain a continuous listening watch on the assigned Traffic frequency, or on 119.1 MHz if
there is no frequency assigned, and broadcast position, altitude and intentions for the benefit of
other traffic.
Each aircraft transmission is to be preceded by the name of the airport, followed by the word
“TRAFFIC”.

Pilots of such aircraft wishing to operate on ATS routes specified above, at or above FL290, must
indicate their level requirements at Item 18 of the ICAO Flight Plan as RMK/REQ FL (insert level).
Approval to operate at the preferred level will be subject to ATC coordination and clearance.
Flights that are not approved will be required to operate at FL280 or below or via alternative
routes.
ATC units receiving a request for a non-RNP 10 approved aircraft to operate on ATS routes
specified above, at or above FL290, will coordinate with adjacent ATC units affected by the flight.
In deciding whether or not to approve the flight, each ATC unit will take into consideration:
a. traffic density;
b. communications, including the non-availability of normal communication facilities;
c. weather conditions enroute;
d. any other factors pertinent at the time.
Separation Minima
Lateral Separation Minima
A lateral separation minima of 60 NM may only be applied between aircraft equipped in accord-
ance with the provisions set forth above, operating at FL290 or above, on the ATS routes.
When an aircraft not meeting the requirements is approved to operate at or above FL290 on the
routes shown, vertical separation shall be applied with aircraft operating on adjacent routes.
Longitudinal Separation
A longitudinal separation of 80 NM RNAV or Mach Number Technique (MNT) separation minima
may be applied between aircraft equipped in accordance with RNP 10 navigation requirements.
Vertical Separation
A vertical separation minima of 1000 ft will be applied between aircraft operating between FL290
and FL410 inclusive in accordance with RVSM requirements.
Procedures for the Use of RNAV Route M772
In the case of aircraft operating northbound on M772 deviating westward and entering the adja-
cent airspace of the Ho Chi Minh FIR or the Sanya AOR, the pilot shall obtain an ATC clearance
from the Manila ACC to deviate.
In the event that a clearance cannot be obtained in time prior to entering the adjacent airspace,
the pilot as a matter of urgency shall contact Ho Chi Minh or Sanya ACC as appropriate, maintain
the last cleared flight level and obtain ATC clearance to enter the airspace. Manila Radio shall be
informed of the action taken.
Operations on M772 may be suspended during large-scale weather deviations.
RNP 10-based 50 NM longitudinal separation may be applied by ATC between aircraft that are
approved for RNP 10 operations on ATS routes N884 and M767.
The 50 NM longitudinal separation shall be applied as a separation minimum between RNP 10-
approved aircraft operating on RNAV routes M767 and N884 at FL310, FL320, FL350, FL360,
FL390 and FL400.
NOTE: Please refer to the Flight Level Assignment Scheme (FLAS) applicable within the Manila
FIR and the adjacent FIRs.
Both aircraft being provided with a reduced longitudinal separation of 50 NM must be RNP 10-
approved.
a. Certification/Approval for RNP operations within the Manila FIR shall be issued by:
Certification and Management Division (CMD)
Flight Safety and Inspectorate Service

+63 2 8799229
b. The Pilot (or his/her representative) of an RNP 10-approved aircraft must indicate as such in
the FPL by placing “R” in item 10.
To comply with the requirement of Direct Controller-Pilot Communication (DCPC) when applying
50 NM longitudinal separation between RNP 10-approved aircraft, Controller-Pilot Data Link Com-
munication (CPDLC) and VHF communication shall be used as the primary means of communica-
tion within the Singapore FIR and Manila FIR, respectively.
a. Aircraft operating along RNAV routes M767 and N884 must be equipped with CPDLC.
b. The Pilot (or his/her representative) must place “J” in item 10 of the FPL to indicate CPDLC
equipage.
The communication system should support the application of this minima such that it allows the
controller to intervene and resolve a potential conflict:
a. within 4 minutes, using the normal communication means (VHF radio/CPDLC);
b. within 10 1/2 minutes using an alternate source of communication (HF radio) in the event of
normal communication means failure.
The minima shall not be applied between a CPDLC logon aircraft and an aircraft not logon to
CPDLC. In which case, conventional time-based longitudinal separation, which included MNT,
shall be applied.
The minima shall only be applied between aircraft on the same track.
Separation shall be established by maintaining not less than the specified distance between air-
craft positions as reported by reference to the same “on track” 1 common point, whenever possi-
ble ahead of both aircraft or by means of an automated reporting system.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1198

RULES AND PROCEDURES
Controllers shall ensure that the minimum distance exists throughout the period of application of
the minima. When the aircraft are at or are expected to be at minimum applicable distance, con-
trollers shall apply appropriate speed control techniques, such as assigning appropriate Mach
numbers to aircraft.
NOTE 1: The term “on-track” means that the aircraft is flying either directly inbound to or directly
outbound from the station or common point.
NOTE 2: Same identical tracks are special case of same track where the angular difference is
zero degrees.
Pilots must advise Manila Control of any deterioration or failure of navigation system (perform-
ance below the navigation requirements for RNP 10 operations) or unavailability of CPDLC.
a. As soon as such report has been received, the Manila Control shall provide alternative appli-
cable separation. The change must be coordinated with the unit providing air traffic services
in the adjacent FIR.
Application of Longitudinal Distance-Based Separation Minima Not Using ADS-C

When an aircraft fails to report its position, the controller shall take action within 3 minutes to
establish communication. If communication is not established within 8 minutes from the time the
report should have been received, the controller shall apply an alternative form of separation.
Controllers are to note that time lag exists between instruction passed and distance reported by
pilot, and if left unchecked might result in a misrepresentation of air situation. As such, controllers
shall exercise discretion in the sequence of requesting such reports. As a general guide, distance
reporting instructions should normally be issued to the front aircraft first.
Controller shall use the phraseology “Report distance [to/from] [position]” for aircraft to report its
distance to or from a common point (‘to’ shall be used when position is an ensuing waypoint).
Applicable Longitudinal Separation
50 NM longitudinal separation between RNP 10-approved aircraft with working CPDLC and VHF
radio.
80 NM longitudinal separation between RNAV-approved or RNP 10-approved aircraft without a
working CPDLC. A longitudinal separation for 10 minutes (or less) may also be applied using the
Mach Number Technique (MNT).

SOLOMON IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Above the highest MSA in turbulent conditions, speed may be increased to the lesser of 280 KIAS
or Mach 0.8.
NOTE: Certain types of propeller-driven aircraft may need to hold at higher speeds.
Aircraft which plan to transit the airspace north of 3° South at any time should, in addition to
establishing communications with Honiara FIS, also attempt to establish communications with
Oakland on HF prior to entering the airspace.
Because the transition altitudes in adjacent FIRs differ from that established in the Solomon Is,
aircraft may be required to effect transition from altitudes to flight levels or vice versa when
departing or entering the Honiara FIR. Such transitions between flight levels and altitudes shall be
made at the FIR boundary.
Night flying facilities are not normally available at aerodromes apart from Honiara/Henderson.
Therefore operations are restricted to the hours between morning and evening twilight. Pilots-in-
command must plan their flight to arrive at their destination in sufficient time to divert to an alter-
nate aerodrome and to land at the alternate within the published hours of availability.
Unless specifically authorized by the Director, VFR flight is not permitted at night.
ALTIMETRY
The Honiara Fir is divided into three area ONH Zones. The lines of division run North/South along
the E 159 degrees and E 163 degrees meridians. The zones are designated, from the West, as
Western, Honiara and Temotu QNH Zones. Cruising altitudes at and below the transition altitude
are based on the Area QNH available through Honiara FIC. Area ONH reports are made at 1900,
2200, 0108, 0400 and 0700 UTC and are valid for the succeeding three hour period.
GENERAL
The air traffic rules and procedures applicable to air traffic in Tonga territory conform to Annexes

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC – Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) –

Pilot Action
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.
laterally and longitudinally from the centerlines and ends of all runways at an airport by the distan-
ces shown in the following tables. The areas are technically defined by the tangential connection
of arcs drawn at the radius distance shown from each runway end.
Standard Circling Approach Maneuvering Radius
Circling approach protected areas developed prior to late 2012 used the radius distances shown
in the following table, expressed in nautical miles (NM), dependent on aircraft approach category.
The approaches using standard circling approach areas can be identified by the absence of the
symbol on the circling line of minima.
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 mph).
Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft within Class
“B”, “C”, or “D” surface area at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kt (230 mph). This does
not apply to operations within Class “B” airspace. Such operations shall comply with preceding
paragraph in this section.

RULES AND PROCEDURES
No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying Class “B” airspace, or in a VFR cor-
ridor designated through Class “B” airspace, at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 kt (230

If the minimum safe airspeed for any operation is greater than the maximum speed prescribed in
this section, the aircraft may be operated at that minimum speed.
GPS Overlay Program
As the production of stand-alone GPS approaches has progressed, many of the original overlay
approaches have been replaced with stand-alone procedures specifically designed for use by
GPS systems. A GPS approach overlay allows pilots to use GPS avionics under IFR for flying
designated nonprecision instrument approach procedures, except LOC, LDA, and simplified direc-
tional facility (SDF) procedures. These procedures are identified by the name of the procedure
and “or GPS” (for example, VOR/DME or GPS RWY15). Other previous types of overlays have
either been converted to this format or replaced with stand-alone procedures. Only approaches
contained in the current onboard navigation database are authorized. The navigation database
may contain information about non-overlay approach procedures that is intended to be used to
enhance position orientation, generally by providing a map, while flying these approaches using
conventional NAVAIDs. This approach information should not be confused with a GPS overlay
approach.
GPS IFR Equipment Classes/Categories
Class A — GPS sensor and navigation capability;
Class B — GPS sensor data to an integrated navigation system (i.e., FMS, multisensor naviga-
tion system, etc.);
Class C — GPS sensor data to an integrated navigation system (i.e., FMS, multisensor naviga-
tion system, etc.); which provides enhanced guidance to an autopilot, or flight director, to reduce
flight technical errors. Limited to FAR Part 121 or equivalent criteria.
Equipment Classes A1, B1 and C1 require Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM).
Classes B3 and C3 require an inertial navigation system to provide RAIM equivalent.
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:
a. Dependent on aircraft movement, exit/entry into/from Pago Pago will be controlled with issu-

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

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

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.

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.
Planning Minimums
When a take-off alternate airport is not filed, the ceiling and visibility to be used as take-off mini-
mums are equivalent to the DH/MDH and visibility of the instrument approach procedures availa-
ble at the airport of departure.
Circling
Circling minimums are normally charted on the Japanese instrument approach chart. The mini-
mums shown in Table 4 are the lowest permissible circling minimums. Circling minimums are
never below straight-in minimums. The circling area does not correspond with the dimensions
published by ICAO.
ILS CAT II
Visual Reference
An approach may not be continued below DH unless at least one of the following visual referen-
ces for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot:
– A segment of at least 3 consecutive lights being the centerline of the approach lights,
– The touchdown zone lights,
– The runway centerline lights,
– The runway edge lights,
– Other visual reference accepted by the authority.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1238
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES
This visual reference must include a lateral element of the ground pattern (i.e., an approach light-
ing crossbar, or the landing threshold, or a barette of the touchdown zone lighting).
ILS CAT IIIA & ILS CAT IIIB (fail-passive control system)
Visual Reference
An approach may not be continued below DH unless at least one of the following visual referen-
ces for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot:
– A segment of at least 3 consecutive lights being the centerline of the approach lights,
– The touchdown zone lights,
– The runway centerline lights,
– The runway edge lights,
– Other visual reference accepted by the authority.
ILS CAT IIIB (fail-operational control system using DH)
Visual Reference
– At least one runway centerline light.
– Or other visual reference accepted by the authority.
ILS CAT IIIB (fail-operational control system using no DH)
Visual Reference
– No requirement.
Use, as the final landing flap setting, the minimum certificated landing flap setting (one setting
less than full flaps in the case of an airplane with several approved landing settings) set forth in
the approved performance section of the Airplane Flight Manual for the applicable conditions.
Delayed Flap Approach
This is a procedure which delays flap operation during approach within a range which does not
sacrifice flight safety. Ground noise levels, as in the reduced flap setting procedure, can be
reduced by engine power decrease due to aerodynamic drag reduction.
A typical example of this procedure for a jet transport aircraft is:
Extend final landing flaps after passing 1500 ft AGL or after passing the outer marker, whichever
is at the lowest altitude.
Reverse Thrust Restriction
In order to reduce aircraft noise, pilots may be requested to limit the use of reverse thrust to idle
reverse after landing, unless it adversely affects the safety of aircraft operations.
Preferential Runway
This is a procedure which may be used when one end of a runway is in an area not adversely
affected by aircraft noise, such as adjacent to water, etc. Takeoff and landing are preferentially
made at that end of the runway, in principle when a tailwind component, including gust effect, is
not greater than 5 kt and a crosswind component, including gust, is not greater than 15 kt (see
NOTE 1) and as long as passengers are not overly inconvenienced. In order to achieve maximum
safety, this procedure is not to be applied under the following circumstances:
a. When the condition of the specified runway is not suitable for landing or takeoff (see NOTE
2).
b. When the pilot-in-command determines that the use of another runway is necessary in con-
sideration of the safety of his aircraft operation.
c. When the possibility exists that orderly flow of traffic may be impeded.
d. The use of another runway is considered especially necessary for the purpose of special
training, inspection of navigational facilities, etc.
NOTE 1: The tailwind and crosswind values should be considered guidelines. In normal
cases a current jet transport can safely takeoff and land on a runway with good surface con-
ditions, as far as their performance is concerned, with a tailwind component of up to 10 kt
and a crosswind component of up to 25 kt.
NOTE 2: For example, braking action may be decreased due to adverse conditions of the
runway such as wet surface, snow, etc.
Noise Preferential Routes
In order to reduce aircraft noise in the vicinity of the airport, Noise Preferential Routes are estab-
lished to be applied during climb following take-off or approach for landing when overflying noise
sensitive area, unless it affects the safety of aircraft operations.

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

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
The holding, approach and departure procedures in use are based on the contained in the latest
edition of ICAO Doc 8168 – Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Aircraft Operations (PANS-
OPS).
Plans and profile diagrams of instrument approach procedures are normally drawn to represent
the path of an aircraft operating at a ground speed of 150 kt and a rate of descent of 500 ft per
minute.
Times shown on outbound legs of instrument approach procedures provide for optimum maneu-
vering in zero wind. These times may be shortened in circumstances where a tailwind is known to
exist.
An aircraft which is not required to hold may commence an instrument approach procedure with-
out entering the holding pattern if the approach track to the facility or fix is within a 60° sector, 30°
on either side of:
a. the initial track of the descent procedure; or
b. the inbound holding track, where a reversal turn shown on the approach chart must be com-
pleted prior to commencing an instrument approach.
NOTE: Outside controlled airspace and within 25 NM of the facility or fix, an aircraft whose
initial approach track is outside the 60° sector described above may diverge to intercept a
track within the 60° sector.
Flight plans for flights to be provided with Air Traffic Control or Advisory service shall be submitted
at least 30 minutes prior to departure, or if submitted during flight, at a time which will ensure its
receipt by the appropriate Air Traffic Services unit and/or the Air Defense service at least ten
minutes before the aircraft is estimated to reach:
a. the intended point of entry into a control area, advisory area or air defense identification
zone; or
b. the point of crossing an airway or advisory route.

The AFN LOGON address for the Singapore FIR is WSJC.
To avoid automatic rejection of the LOGON, the flight identification number used by the pilot in the
LOGON process must be identical to the flight identification number filed in the flight plan.
A LOGON must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initiated by
the ground system. This is achieved via the ATS facility notification (AFN) LOGON process to be
initiated by the pilot in accordance with company procedures.
Aircraft requesting data link services inbound to Singapore FIR are required to manually LOGON
onto WSJC at least 10 minutes prior to the estimated time for entering Singapore FIR. Data link
equipped aircraft departing from aerodromes within the Singapore FIR and requesting data link
may LOGON to WSJC prior to departure. Pilots who are unable to establish a data link connec-
tion are to inform ATC on VHF or HF RTF.
Pilots are reminded to provide the flight level on first contact with HF, including when established
on data link.
APPLICATION OF CPDLC
Aircraft that have established data link communications may transmit their position reports by

ALTIMETRY
A common transition altitude of 11,000 ft (3350 meters) has been established in the Singapore
Flight Information Region. This will ensure uniformity in the transition altitudes for aerodromes
within the territories of Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore, except for an area of radius 10 nautical
miles centered on Mount Kinabalu where the lowest safe altitude will be 15,000 ft (4,570 meters)
and the lowest usable flight level will be FL170.
QFE altimeter setting will be made available on request but reports to ATC will be made in alti-
tudes.
It is the pilots' responsibility to select a flight level which will give adequate terrain clearance using
forecast pressure information.
NOTE: VFR flights within the Singapore FIR are permitted to operate only up to FL200.
If compliance with VFR cannot be maintained at a quadrantal cruising level, the aircraft shall be
flown at another quadrantal level where it is possible to comply with VFR.
The pilot-in-command shall ensure that the cruising level selected for an IFR flight is not below
the lowest safe flight level applicable for the route to be flown.
NOTE: The provision of terrain clearance is not part of ATC service.
Except when taking-off or landing, or with the approval of the appropriate authority, aircraft shall
be flown at least 1000 ft above the highest obstacle within 10km of the estimated position of the
aircraft in flight.
TRANSIT PROCEDURES
The procedures to be followed by aircraft when transiting between areas where the Quadrantal
System of cruising levels is in use and those where the Semi-Circular System is applicable, are
indicated below.
NOTE: The terms “ODD + 500 ft” level and “EVEN + 500 ft” level have been used to designate
those series of levels where, below FL290, flight levels ending with 75, 95, 115, etc. and 65, 85,

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
The holding, approach and departure procedures in use are based in those contained in ICAO
Doc 8168 - OPS/611 - Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Operations (PANS - OPS).
The RVSM airspace is prescribed within controlled airspace between FL290 and FL410 (inclu-
sive) in Ho Chi Minh and Ha Noi FIRs.
Details of the Flight Level Orientation Scheme for Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh FIR, including those
applicable to Large Scale Weather Deviations (LSWD) are as follows:
Separation Application
The separation minimum based on ADS-B coverage area (out of radar coverage) to be applied in
Ho Chi Minh FIR is 30 miles NM.
NOTE: At a flight level where the aircraft does not have ADS-B operational approval or the ADS-
B-equipped aircraft does not meet the requirements mentioned above but has been approved to
flight at or above FL290 within ADS-B coverage, the 30 miles NM separation application shall be
terminated at that flight level and the conventional separation shall be applied.
Flight Planning Requirements
Aircraft operators complying with the requirements stipulated above are to indicate the appropri-
ate ADS-B designator in Item 10 of the ICAO flight plan:
– B1 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” capability;
– B2 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” and “in” capability.
Aircraft operators are to include the aircraft address (24 Bit Code) in hexadecimal format in Item
18 of the ICAO flight plan as per the following example:
– CODE/7C432B
Aircraft Identification (ACID) not exceeding 7 characters must be accurately indicated in Item 7 of
the ICAO flight plan and replicated exactly when set in the aircraft avionics (for transmission as
Flight ID) as follows, which must be either:
a. The three-letter ICAO designator of the aircraft operator followed by the flight number (e.g.
HVN123, MAS123, GIA123), when radiotelephony callsign consists of the associated ICAO
telephony designator for the aircraft operator followed by the flight number (e.g. VIETNAM
123, MALAYSIAN 123, INDONESIA 123).
or
b. The aircraft registration (e.g. N555AB, 9VABC) when the radiotelephony callsign consists of
the aircraft registration.
Important: ACID entered should not have any leading zeros unless it is part of the flight number
as indicated in Item 7 of the ICAO flight plan. Hyphens, dashes or spaces are NOT to be used.
When a transmitted basic flight plan data or a changed RPL data, the CHG message shall be
transmitted by the operator and ATC unit. The CHG message shall be sent to the addresses
being sent the initial flight plan.
When there is a change to the ADS-B capability status for a flight planned to operate in an ADS-B
NRA area, a modification message (CHG) shall be sent with the appropriate indications in the rel-
evant items of the ICAO flight plan form, including any change to the aircraft address.
For a flight operating based on a repetitive flight plan (RPL), during which the pilot intends to use
ADS-B, a modification message (CHG) shall be submitted to indicate that the flight is capable of,
and authorized for ADS-B, or not.

NOTE: Additional information may be required depending on the type of operation and air-
ports that will be used while in Australian territory. Requests for additional information may
be issued after an initial assessment of the application for a non-scheduled flight approval.
2.3.6 At the same time that permission is sought from DIT and CASA, an aircraft operator,
through the designated representative, must obtain and agree to the conditions of use (including
aircraft charges) or similar policies as applied by each airport owner or operator. Airport Owners
and Operators are listed in the Airport Directory.
2.3.7 Applications for permission should be accompanied by the prescribed fees. Details of
application fees under ANR 329 and Part 5, Division 3 of the Air Services Act 1995, may be
obtained from the DIT and Airservices respectively at the addresses shown in paragraph 1.2.3.
2.5.4 Any proposed flights to or from the following countries, or involving the carriage of passen-
gers or cargo between Australia and the following countries, may not be operated without the
prior approval of the Secretary of the Department of Infrastructure and Transport:
a. Afghanistan;
b. Iraq;
c. Yemen; and
d. Somalia.
NOTE: Changes to this list shall be notified by NOTAM as required
2.5.5 All operators should note the separate requirement for transport security plan approval in
Section 2.10 and the aircraft noise certification requirements in paragraph 2.14.
2.5.6 The determination referred to in paragraph 2.5.1 defines the following terms:
– charter flight means a flight for traffic purposes into or out of Australian territory not forming
part of an approved scheduled international air service;
– own-use charter means a flight where the entire capacity of the aircraft is chartered by a
single organization or individual to carry its own staff or passengers who are an affinity group
(i.e., members of organizations established mainly for purposes other than travel), or to carry
cargo it owns for its own use.
– single charter means a one-off charter flight, being a charter flight which is not part of a pro-
gram of charter flights operating over the same route.
– single-entity freight charter means a freight charter flight or flights where the whole aircraft is
chartered by a single organization or individual and the consignment is homogenous (e.g.,
computers, meat, livestock or horses) and does not include consignments consolidated by
freight forwarders.
2.5.7 At the same time that permission is sought from DIT and CASA, an aircraft operator,
through the designated representative, must obtain and agree to the conditions of use (including
aircraft charges) or similar policies as applied by each airport owner or operator. Airport Owners
and Operators are listed in the Airport Directory.
2.7.4 Any questions relating to diplomatic clearances should be addressed to the Diplomatic
Clearance Cell on +61261284819 or [email protected].
2.7.5 Compliance
Foreign State aircraft operating under diplomatic clearance are required to comply with applicable
aerodrome procedures and air traffic control directions. Diplomatic clearance does not exempt the
requesting government's responsibility to meet other Australian government agency requirements
such as customs, quarantine and immigration or the requirement for permission to carry munitions
or implements of war. It is the responsibility of the foreign government to ensure all necessary
paperwork and/or clearances from Australian government agencies are arranged prior to arrival.
The requesting government may also be contacted by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Author-
ity (CASA) and/or the Department of Infrastructure and Transport if further authorization is
required. In certain circumstances, diplomatic clearance may only be issued subject to the air-
craft, cargo and passengers undertaking additional checks and searches. Failure to comply with
any conditions on a diplomatic clearance, or with other government agencies' procedures, could
result in penalties and affect issuance of future diplomatic clearances.
2.7.6 Foreign Military Aircraft Participating in Exercises within Australia
Foreign State aircraft visiting Australia for a combined exercise are required to seek diplomatic
clearance for their transit to and from their operating location. All exercise flights are covered
under the exercise arrangements. However, any transits from their deployed location to another
location outside the exercise schedule will require approval.
2.7.7 Alternate Routes and In-flight Emergencies
Approval will not be issued for alternate or diversion airfield requests inside Australia. Aircraft
diverting in response to an in-flight emergency or poor weather do not require diplomatic approval
and should select the nearest appropriate airfield. Notification of any emergency diversions
should be sent to the Diplomatic Clearance Cell at the earliest opportunity thereafter landing.
b. The rules and regulations pertaining to the flight and maneuvering of aircraft, shall comply
with the following:
1. Australian rules, where applicable;
2. ICAO rules, when operating over the high seas; and
3. Foreign State rules, where applicable, while flying over a foreign State’s territory.
2.8.4 When the doors of the aircraft are closed, the pilot in command must assume and exercise
responsibility for the safety of the crew, the passengers and the cargo.
2.8.5 The pilot in command must assume and exercise responsibility for the operation and
safety of the aircraft from the moment that the airplane is ready to move for the purpose of taking-
off until the moment when it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and the engines used as
primary propulsion units are shut down.
2.8.6 If an emergency endangers the safety of the aircraft or persons on aboard and requires
action in violation of the law of a foreign State, the pilot in command must:
a. as soon as practicable, tell the foreign State authority responsible for that law; and
b. if required by the authority, give a written report of the violation to the authority; and
c. send a copy of the report to CASA.
2.8.7 The pilot in command must assume and exercise responsibility to tell the nearest appropri-
ate State authority, by the quickest means possible, of any accident involving the aircraft that has
resulted in:
a. death or serious injury to any person; or
b. substantial damage to the aircraft or any property.
2.8.8 The pilot in command may not operate at an aerodrome using lower operating minima
than those established for the aerodrome by the responsible authority, without approval from the
responsible authority. The pilot in command may not utilize operating minima lower than 200 ft
above ground level without approval from CASA.
2.8.9 Before a flight, the pilot in command must ensure that the aircraft is carrying the following:
a. an accessible first aid kit;
b. current and suitable charts for the route of the proposed flight and for all routes along that
route to which it is reasonable to expect the flight may be diverted;
c. procedures for pilots in command of intercepted aircraft, as described in Annex 2 to the Con-
vention on International Civil Aviation;
d. sufficient spare electrical fuses of appropriate ratings to replace fuses on the aircraft that are
accessible during flight.
NOTE: The items mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) are in addition to the minimum equipment or
materials:
a. necessary for the issuance of a certificate of airworthiness; or
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1304
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT
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: [email protected]
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:
[email protected].
Enquiries determining whether a TSP is required are to include:
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.
2.10.6 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 [email protected].
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.

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 1315
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);

SECTION 10
10.1 CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
10.1.1 The cargo report is used to report the particulars of all goods (including mail, in-transit
and transhipment cargo) that a cargo reporter has arranged to be carried to Australia and that are
intended to be off loaded 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.
10.1.2 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.
10.1.3 When an aircraft has arrived at an airport in Australia, the operator must report to Cus-
toms 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 clear-
ance is issued, whichever happens first.
10.1.4 Import declarations are used to clear goods with a value exceeding A$1000 from Cus-
toms control. Import declarations are communicated to Customs and Border Protection electroni-
cally via the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) or by lodgement of a completed import declaration
form (B650) at a Customs and Border Protection counter.
10.1.5 A self-assessed clearance (SAC) declaration must be made for imported goods valued at
or below A$1000.
10.1.6 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 Protec-
tion. 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 Pro-
tection for the release of privileged imports from Customs control. Diplomatic/Consular Mail/
Pouch/Bags do not require an import declaration.
10.1.7 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 submitted 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 out-
side Australia. The ICS assigns the cargo report transhipment status and will automatically gener-
ate a Transhipment Number. A Transhipment Number is a valid Customs Authority (CAN) for the
purposes of export and must be quoted in an export manifest.
10.1.8 Departure Report — The departure report is a prerequisite that must be satisfied before a
certificate of clearance can be granted by Customs and Border Protection. A departure report is a
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1352
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.
10.1.9 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 depar-
ture of the aircraft, an outwards manifest. The outwards manifest must specify all goods that were
loaded on board the aircraft.
10.1.10 Air cargo being exported from Australia must be reported to Customs and Border Pro-
tection by the pilot or owner of the aircraft in the form of an outward manifest. This is normally
done in electronic form using the Customs and Border Protection ICS, or in manual formats. If the
format is manual, one copy is required.
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. An EDN is required
for the following:
a. goods requiring a permit (regardless of value);
b. goods on which a drawback is to be claimed;
c. customable and excisable goods on which duty/excise has not been paid; and
d. goods with a value greater than A$2000, except exempt goods.
10.1.12 A Main Manifest Number (MMN) is supplied by Customs and Border Protection.

12.1.1 Airservices Australia is responsible for the provision of airways facilities and services in

AUSTRALIA
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.
12.4 INTEREST
12.4.1 Interest is payable on the amount of the charge owning from the date it becomes overdue
until the date it is paid. The interest is calculated daily and compounded monthly at the rate of 2%
pa above the Commonwealth Bank Overdraft Index Rate (monthly charging cycle) current on the
first day of each month.

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.
13.5 REMITTANCES
13.5.1 A tear-off remittance advice is provided with each statement, and payment should be for-
warded to the Financial Services Centre with this remittance advice. Payment can also be made
by direct deposit to the Centre’s bank account, provided advice of each payment is given to the
Financial Services Centre by facsimile. Operators who wish to make payments by this method
should contact the Financial Services Centre, Airservices Australia, for details.
13.6 RECEIPTS
13.6.1 Advice of receipts will be contained in each month’s statement.
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:

c. Special Purpose Visas (SPVs) are a class of temporary visa taken to have been granted by
operation of law to certain persons or classes of persons; e.g. military personnel travelling on
official duty provided for under an agreement between Australia and a foreign country. SPV
holders are not required to complete an application form provided they belong to any of the
following classes of persons (arrival by air only, further categories exist for passengers arriv-

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.

services from aircraft operators.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1373
AUSTRALIA
NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
The Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) is responsible for the recovery of the cost of
noise amelioration programs through the mechanism of the Noise Levy Charge. The Bureau of
Meteorology (BoM) is responsible for the provision of aviation weather services and recovers the
cost of these services from aircraft operators. To avoid duplication of administration and to assist
customers in making payments, a single monthly invoice and/or statement covering Airservices’
charges, BoM charges and the Commonwealth Noise Levy is issued.
CHARGING SYSTEM
Aviation Charges
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).
The charges are calculated on each ton of the maximum take-off weight as set out in the flight
manual of the aircraft, with any part of a ton charged on a pro-rata basis.
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.
DIT and BoM Charges
Details on how the Meteorological Service Charge and the Noise Levy Charge are applied may
be obtained form the Financial Services Centre, Airservices Australia.
Passenger Movement Charge
Passenger Movement Charge (PMC), AUD$47, is levied on passengers departing Australia for
another country, whether or not the passenger intends to return to Australia. Australian Customs
Service (Customs), on behalf of the Commonwealth, has administrative responsibility for the PMC
which is collected by scheduled airlines at the time of ticket sale and remitted to Customs on a
regular basis. Airlines are required to enter into an “Arrangement” to collect and remit the charge.
To establish an Arrangement, contact Customs by email: [email protected], in

Commercial Flights
Under the Civil Aviation Act 1990, commercial non-scheduled flights (non-scheduled flights
engaged in the carriage of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire between New Zea-
land and any other country or territory, but excluding medical-related flights), may be operated
only as authorized by the Secretary for Transport and in accordance with such conditions as the
Secretary may impose.
Commercial non-scheduled flights transiting New Zealand airspace, and not landing in New Zea-
land, do not require authorization by the Secretary for Transport. Advance notice is required. An
international flight plan will be accepted as adequate notice.
Applications for non-scheduled commercial flights, which must be from the operator (not the char-
terer), may be made directly to the Ministry of Transport. If, however, the aircraft is not registered

land for non-commercial purposes are only required to give advance notice. An international flight
plan will be accepted as adequate notice, provided entry is at a designated Customs place. Even
so, the pilot-in-command of the aircraft must still give Customs/MAF two hours notice of the ETA
of the aircraft. Aircraft arriving outside gazetted Customs hours at a Customs place will be
charged for attendance by officers at the prescribed regulated hourly rate and for any associated

should normally be given.
Within one hour of landing, the pilot-in-command (or operator) of the aircraft must deliver to Cus-
toms/MPI an inward report accompanied by such supporting documents that may be required.
The aircraft may be examined for risk goods or unwanted organisms. Where pests or unwanted
organisms are found on board, an inspector may direct the aircraft to be disinsected or fumigated.
All garbage and food trolleys removed from the aircraft must go to a MPI approved transitional
facility for sorting, cleaning, and waste destruction.
Departure
Unless otherwise approved by the New Zealand Customs Service, the pilot-in-command of an air-
craft, which has as its destination a point outside New Zealand, must depart from an approved
Customs place with a Certificate of Clearance in the prescribed form. Before any Certificate of
Clearance is granted, the pilot-in-command must deliver to Customs an outward report accompa-
nied by any required supporting documents.

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.

2. DF stations;
3. coast radio stations guarding international distress frequencies.
6.1.2 Instruct passengers that they will be required to:
a. recognize the absolute authority of the pilot-in-command;
b. apply safety apparatus as instructed;
c. prepare for impact shock as instructed;
d. don protective clothing;
e. make an orderly exit from the aircraft; and
f. remain near the aircraft after the evacuation (at sea, secure life rafts and set sea anchor).
6.1.3 Immediately prior to impact, set radio apparatus for continuous operation unless the addi-
tional risk of fire is too great.
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. The intercepting aircraft should approach the intercepted aircraft from astern. The intercept-
ing aircraft, should normally take up a position of the left side, slightly above and ahead of
the intercepted aircraft, within the field of view of the pilot of the intercepted aircraft, and ini-
tially not closer than 300m;
b. The intercepting aircraft should begin closing in gently on the intercepted aircraft, at the
same level, until no closer than absolutely necessary to obtain the information needed;
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.
1.1.3 The visual signal recommended for use to attract the attention of the pilot-in-command of
the intercepted aircraft is contained in Serial 1. If repeated attempts to attract attention by use of
this signal are unsuccessful, other methods of signalling may be used for this purpose, including
as a last resort the visual effect of the reheat/afterburner, provided that no hazard, including haz-
ardous effects of wake turbulence, is created for the intercepted aircraft.
1.1.4 During daytime, the use of smoke producing devices may have the desired effect. During
daytime as well as night, the use of high powered strobe lights, whenever installed on the inter-
cepting aircraft for collision avoidance purposes, would also be of assistance.
1.1.5 As a very last resort, and if directed carefully, the use of reheat/afterburner may achieve
the desired result. This method is clearly most effective at night but can be both disturbing and
noisy for the intercepted aircraft, especially if used within 300m. Reheat/afterburner must there-
fore be used with great caution.
1.1.6 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;

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
RFF facilities are allocated a category from 1 to 10 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).
5.6 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?”

aircraft and a selected ship;
b. Weather reports, including sea conditions and a selected ditching heading, will be passed to
the aircraft; and
c. Arrangements may be made for ships to provide navigational assistance, lighting and reduce
the effects of the sea, swell or wind.
a. Remain in the vicinity or as directed otherwise and keep the aircraft, surface craft or dis-
tressed personnel in sight;
b. Turn on automatic emergency radio equipment unless:
1. accurate position fixing is possible; and
2. two-way communications exist with ATS.

10 PARTICIPATION IN SEARCHES
10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 When requested by the Australian RCC to carry out a SAR operation, the aircraft and
crew are deemed to be hired by JRCC Australia.
10.3 BRIEFING
10.3.1 Whenever possible the pilot of a search aircraft should contact the RCC to confirm the
briefing prior to the search commencing.
10.4 DEBRIEFING
10.4.1 Pilots should present a post-flight report to the RCC as soon as possible after completion
of the flight.
10.5 SAFETY
10.5.1 Civil aircraft engaged in SAR operations are required to comply with the Civil Aviation
Regulations. If a breach of the Regulations is required 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 permanent disabil-
ity, a Mercy Flight must be declared or an alternative course of action taken.
10.5.2 Details of Mercy Flights are contained in ATC Special Operations and Requirements.
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 1572
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.

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.
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.
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 1577
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.

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.
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.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Alone and injured, people have survived in almost impossible circumstances. The determi-
nation to beat the situation and the will to survive is the survivor's strongest weapons. Military
SAR will not give up searching for downed aircrew.
1.2 The peacetime priorities of survival are as listed below:
a. Protection: The elements of protection are:
1. First Aid – Breathing must be restarted within 3 minutes;
2. Clothing;
3. Shelter – In harsh weather a shelter will be required in less than 3 hours; and
4. Fire.
b. Location: Most survivors are located within 3 days.
c. Water: In Australia’s arid center water must be found within 3 days.
d. Food: Survival without food for at least 30 days is possible. Therefore, food is the lowest pri-
ority. Food information is contained in the JUNGLE SURVIVAL section.
1.3 Basic survival rules are outlined in the following sections:
a. Location.
b. First Aid;
c. Desert Survival;
d. Sea Survival;
e. Jungle Survival; and
f. Cold Weather Survival.
1.4 Rapidly adapt to the new situation – DO NOT WASTE TIME. Even if SAR is expected
quickly develop a plan of action that will assist SAR and improve living conditions. Start working to
beat the situation as soon as possible.
2 LOCATION
2.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
2.2 When moving always carry location aids and protect them from deterioration. Do not fire
pyrotechnics until SAR is sighted. Consider the best use of aids:
a. survival radios/beacons;
b. signal mirror;
c. day/night flares;
d. rockets;
e. strobe;

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.
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;

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 airport 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

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 1613
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.

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.

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.
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.
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).
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.

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.
UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
General
The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and
the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact.
Procedures
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 emergency frequency and other appropriate fre-
quencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as
onboard transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do so
and circumstances permit; and
– proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where
such procedures have been established and promulgated in ICAO Doc 7030 - Regional Sup-
plementary Procedures (not printed herein); or
– if no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs
from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 1000ft if above FL290 or
500ft if below FL290.
Emergency
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.
EMERGENCY
The distress call (MAYDAY, three times) alerts all listening parties of an aircraft emergency, which
will receive priority handling and possible assistance from other sources.
The transmission by a station not in distress itself relaying a distress message shall always be
preceded by the signal MAYDAY RELAY pronounced as the French expression “M’aider relais”.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
TWO-WAY RADIO FAILURE
Pilots may attempt to alert radar systems using the following procedures:
Transmitter only Inoperative – Fly a triangular pattern to the RIGHT, 120 degree turns at 1 1/2
degrees per second. Hold each heading for two minutes for conventional aircraft, one minute for
jet aircraft. Complete a minimum of two such patterns before resuming original course and then
repeat pattern at 20 minute intervals.
Transmitter and Receiver Inoperative – Fly a triangular pattern to the LEFT, 120 degree turns at 1
1/2 degrees per second. Hold each heading for two minutes for conventional aircraft, one minute
for jet aircraft. Complete a minimum of two such patterns before resuming original course and
then repeat pattern at 20 minute intervals.
If patterns are observed by a radar station, an escort will be dispatched if possible.

(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;

period of 7 minutes following:
– the time the last assigned altitude or minimum altitude is reached; or
– the time the transponder is set to Code 7600 whichever is later.
In a case the aircraft has been issued a descend clearance for approach before
the communication failure, maintain the altitude included in that clearance.
(c) upon arrival at the point over destination in accordance with (a) and (b) above,
commence descent without delay if approach clearance has been issued or com-
mence descent in other cases after holding over the point until the time specified
below (or commence descent as soon as possible, when descent was impossible

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).

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 1640
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

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.

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 1684
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND
Standard Time (EST), which is UTC plus 10 hours, Central Standard Time (CST), which is UTC
plus 9 1/2 hours, and Western Standard Time (WST), which is UTC plus 8 hours.
These times apply as follows:
EST is used in the States of New South Wales, (except the Broken Hill area), Queensland, Victo-
ria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory;
CST is used in the State of South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Broken Hill area;
WST is used in the State of Western Australia.
Allowance should be made for any daylight saving that may be in force.
Airport Lighting
Lighting activation for VFR airports and other available lighting will be indicated in the text. Stand
by Power Available with certain restrictional notes will be listed for airports with Standard Instru-
ment Approach Procedures and VFR airports.
Reference AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS for information on pilot
activated lighting (PAL).
See INTRODUCTION - APPROACH CHART LEGEND for runway and approach lighting abbrevi-
ations used in this section.
Runway Data
Runway information will be listed in the text at locations where an airport diagram is not available.
Runway Bearing Strength
ICAO Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method is used
to specify the strength of pavements and hence permissible aircraft masses. The operation of an
aircraft above the maximum mass and tire pressures is not permitted unless a pavement conces-
sion is approved. Omission of pavement strength indicates that the runway is unrated. See Pave-
ment Strength Limitations this section for details regarding runway bearing strengths.
Additional Airport Information
Remarks as to special procedures, right hand circuits, etc., are included.
Customs
Refer to ENTRY REQUIREMENTS for national regulations and customs information.
Communications
Operating hours of control towers are provided in UTC unless otherwise stated. For VFR airports,
the primary frequencies are listed for ATIS, Approach Control furnishing VFR advisories, Tower,
Ground, Flight Information Service (FIS), Flight Information Area (FIA), and Common Traffic Advi-
sory Frequency (CTAF). Pilots of inbound traffic should monitor and communicate as appropriate
on the designated CTAF from 10 miles to landing. Pilots of departing aircraft should monitor/
communicate on the appropriate frequency from start-up, during taxi, and until 10 miles from the
airport unless local procedures require otherwise. Pilots of aircraft conducting other than arriving
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1685
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND
or departing operations at altitudes normally used by arriving and departing aircraft should moni-
tor/communicate on the appropriate frequency while within 10 miles of the airport unless required
to do otherwise by local procedures.
A (CA/GRS) certified air/ground radio service is an airport radio information service; not an air
traffic service. Pilots retain full responsibility to decide whether to accept and use the information.
CA/GRS provides the following information: confirmation of frequency, relevant traffic in CTAF &
maneuvering area of airport, weather conditions if no ATIS exists, other local information, and
emergency services call-out.
An airport frequency response unit (AFRU) will provide an automatic response when pilots trans-
mit on the traffic frequency for the particular airport, normally the CTAF. It will assist in indicating
inadvertent selection of the incorrect VHF frequency when pilots operate into uncontrolled air-
ports.
Rescue and Fire Fighting System
Airport categories for rescue and fire fighting are based on the over-all length of the longest air-
craft normally using the airport and its maximum fuselage width. Note that the figures below refer
to quantities and discharge rates for water. Different figures apply to other extinguishing agents.
The rescue and fire fighting capability will be shown in the airport listings as “Fire” followed by the
category number (e.g., Fire 5). If different category numbers are published for one airport, the
lowest category number will be shown. The higher category number with the relevant note (e.g.,
Fire 7 PTO, Fire 7 PPR...etc.) can be found within the Airport information block. PTO abbrevia-
tions used with Fire stand for Part time operations. 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.
REPLENISHMENT
Replenishment information is listed by supplier, with telephone number and hours of operation.
The left hand column below shows the codes used, followed by a description. Finally, (in brack-
ets) the Australian designation, where applicable.

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 1692
AUSTRALIA
LEGEND
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.
Take-off Runways
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 1695
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:
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.
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1696
AUSTRALIA
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:

or differ from those published in INTRODUCTION — Chart Glossary. See also Definitions
and Abbreviations sections in the Air Traffic Control, Emergency and Meteorology chap-
ters of this manual.
1 DEFINITIONS
AERODROME METEOROLOGICAL MINIMA (Ceiling and Visibility Minima) — The minimum
heights of cloud base (ceiling) and minimum values of visibility which are prescribed in pursuance
of CAR 257 for the purpose of determining the usability of an aerodrome either for take-off or
landing.
BASE TURN (Instrument Approach) — A turn executed by the aircraft during the initial
approach between the end of the outbound track and the beginning of the intermediate or final
approach track. The tracks are not reciprocal.
NOTE: Base turns may be designated as being made either in level flight or while descending,
according to the circumstances of each individual procedure.
CIRCLING APPROACH — An extension of an instrument approach procedure which provides for
visual circling of the aerodrome prior to landing.
DAY — That period of time from the beginning of morning civil twilight to the end of evening civil
twilight.
DME DISTANCE — The slant range from the source of a DME signal to the receiving antenna.
FINAL APPROACH ALTITUDE — The specified altitude at which final approach is commenced.
FINAL APPROACH FIX (FAF) — A specified point on a non-precision instrument approach which
identifies the commencement of the final segment.
FINAL APPROACH POINT (FAP) — A specified point on the glide path of a precision instrument
approach which identifies the commencement of the final segment.
NOTE: The FAP is co-incident with the FAF of a localizer based non-precision approach.
FINAL APPROACH SEGMENT — That segment of an instrument approach procedure in which
alignment and descent for landing are accomplished.
GLIDE PATH — A descent profile determined for vertical guidance during a final approach.
HEIGHT ABOVE AERODROME (Non-precision Approach or Circling) (HAA) — The height of
the Minimum Descent Altitude above the published aerodrome elevation.
HEIGHT ABOVE THRESHOLD (Precision Approach) (HAT) — The height of the Decision Alti-
tude above the threshold.
INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE (IAP) — A series of predetermined maneuvers by ref-
erence 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.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 2042
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
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 60m (200 ft), but not lower
than 100 ft, and a RVR not less than 300m;
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 30m (100 ft), or
no decision height, and a RVR not less than 175m;
2. for CAT IIIB – intended for operations with a decision height lower than 15m (50 ft), or
no decision height, and a RVR less than 175m 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.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 2043
AUSTRALIA
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
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.

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
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 2048
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.
4.3 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.

HOLDING PROCEDURES
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 2053
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.
4.5 The pilot-in-command must advise ATC if cleared via a SID which requires the use of navi-
gation aids not available to the aircraft.
4.6 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).”
4.7 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.
4.8 In VMC by day, the pilot in command may request, or ATC may issue, a visual departure.
4.9 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.
4.10 When a departure report is required during a SID, the SID identifier must be included in the
report.
4.11 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;

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES
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 3.18 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.
2 GPS
2.1 Subject to the restrictions in para 2.2, GPS systems meeting the requirements of Area Navi-
gation (RNAV) Systems Approval and Operations may be used for distance measurement during
the conduct of a DME or GPS Arrival.
2.2 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.
e. 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.
3.4 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.
3.5 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.

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.
2.4 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 When ATC issues descent clearances to an aircraft on a STAR, the aircraft must comply
with all level restrictions or requirements published on the STAR chart (the vertical profile) unless
ATC explicitly cancels the restrictions or requirements.
2.7 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.
3.3 For flights that have included PBN/T1 in Field 18 of the flight notification form, ATC will auto-
matically issue a STAR with an RN PAR termination where available (e.g., LIZZI ONE UNI-
FORM), 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.
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 2060
AUSTRALIA
STANDARD ARRIVAL ROUTES (STARS)
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]”.
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.
ATC may cancel STAR speed requirements either by individual instructions; e.g., “CANCEL
STAR 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 2062
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.

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 The circling restrictions shown on approach charts apply by day in less than VMC, and at
night.
1.3 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: Profile diagrams of approach procedures are diagrammatic. Plan diagrams are shown to
scale, except that the depicted length of outbound and inbound legs on timed procedures (e.g.,
NDB procedures) are diagrammatic. The profile line depicted on approach procedures is repre-
sentative of the descent profile designed for the approach. However, the angles may be exagger-
ated for illustrative purpose. On those charts where a DME-based procedure is combined with a
non DME-based procedure, the altitude/distance scale (where provided) applies only to the DME-
based procedure. That is, it is not necessary to fly a time-based procedure to conform with the
altitude/distance scale. However, if a limiting fix or radial is shown on these procedures, the seg-
ment must be terminated at the earlier limit of the time or fix/radial.
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.
Further, where a common step-down limitation applies to both procedures, generally only one alti-
tude is shown with arrows pointing to the position on each procedure at which the restriction
applies.
NOTE 4: Speed restrictions shown on individual approach plates apply to holding and the initial
segment of reversal procedures only. When speed restrictions are required for DME arcs or other
segments of the approach, text will be included specifying the restriction.
aircraft approaching an airport must not descend below the LSALT or the MSA for the route seg-
ment being flown until it has arrived over the IAF or facility.
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
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:
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 2065
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
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.
b. If, at any time during the approach after the FAP, the LOC/GLS final approach course or gli-
deslope indicates full scale deflection a missed approach should be commenced.
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 2000m, 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 2000m 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 2.7.4.3 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 2000m or less, ATC will broadcast an appropriate warning to:
a. any approaching aircraft that have passed the ILS outer marker; or
TERMINAL PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 2069
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
b. if an outer marker is not available – any approaching aircraft that are within 4 NM of the land-
ing runway threshold.
2.7.4.6 If:
a. ILS CAT II or III approaches are conducted at an airport; 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 2000m or more, such information must
not be taken as a request for or expectation of the protection of the ILS but to enhance the possi-
bility 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 airport 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 sensitive
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.
2.7.5 Protection of GLS Critical and Sensitive Areas
2.7.5.1 There are no GLS critical and sensitive areas.
NOTE: A CAT I GLS is not required to support autoland operations. Pilots are responsible for
obtaining information necessary to make operational decisions to conduct a GLS autoland.

INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
4 APPROACH PROCEDURES
4.1 USE OF NAVIGATION AIDS
4.1.1 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
approaches.) Use of a non-specified aid (e.g., another DME located on the airport) is prohibited
as it may jeopardize the integrity of the instrument approach procedure.

4.5 DESCENT
4.5.1 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.
4.5.2 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

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.
4.5.3 Descent Gradients
4.5.3.1 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

segment.
NOTE 2: For procedures published with a distance / altitude scale, a 3 degree glide-slope is used
in calculating the descent data.
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.
4.9.2 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-4-3
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-4-4
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.

4.9.3 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.

c. visual reference is not established at or before reaching the MAPT or DA/RH 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 MAPT or DA/RH 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.
4.10.2 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).
4.10.3 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 airport, where the
pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track. In as much as the circling
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.
4.10.4 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 2079
AUSTRALIA
INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
4.10.5 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.
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.
4.13.2 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.
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.
– 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.
4.15.3 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).
4.15.4 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.
Figure IAP-4-8
4.19.3 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.
4.19.4 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.
6.3.3 It is a condition of the use of the take-off minima in this section that the pilot in command
of the airplane must ensure that:
a. if a return to land at the departure airport will be necessary in the event of an engine failure –
the meteorological conditions must be at or above instrument approach and landing minima
for the airport or such as to allow a visual approach; and
b. if engine failure occurs at any time after V1, lift-off, or encountering non-visual conditions –
terrain clearance is assured until reaching either enroute LSALT or departure airport MSA;
and
c. if a return to the departure airport is not possible – the airplane’s performance and fuel avail-
ability must each be adequate to enable the airplane to proceed to a suitable airport, having
regard to terrain, obstacles and route distance limitations.
a. clear of cloud:
1. for helicopters operating in PC1 – until attaining the greater of Vyse or Vmin IMC; or
2. for helicopters operating in PC2 – until attaining the greater of Vyse or Vmin IMC, and
passing the defined point after take-off; and
b. visibility of:
1. 800m; or
2. 550m, but only if the relevant runway or helicopter landing site has:
– illuminated edge lighting at spacing intervals not exceeding 60m; and
– centerline lighting or centerline markings.
6.5.3 It is a condition of the use of the minima in this section that after entering instrument mete-
orological conditions the take-off must be conducted:
a. either:
1. in accordance with published IFR departure procedures; or
2. if there are no published procedures — such that terrain clearance is assured; and
b. in the event of an engine failure:
1. after encountering non-visual conditions — terrain clearance is assured until reaching
either the enroute LSALT or departure airport MSA; and
2. if a return to land at the departure airport is required — the meteorological conditions
must be at, or above, instrument approach and landing minima for the airport or such as
to allow a visual approach; and
3. if a return to the departure airport is not possible — the helicopter’s performance and
fuel availability must each be adequate to enable the helicopter to proceed to a suitable
airport, having regard to terrain, obstacles and route distance limitations.
until reaching either enroute LSALT or departure airport MSA and safe flight to a suitable destina-
tion or alternate, or a return to land can be made.
6.6.4 For non-qualifying multi-engine helicopters, it is a condition of the use of the minima in this
section that if a return to land at the departure airport will be necessary in the event of an engine
failure, that:
a. the meteorological conditions must be at, or above, instrument approach and landing minima
for the airport or such as to allow a visual approach; or
b. if a return to the departure airport is not possible, the helicopter’s performance and fuel avail-
ability must each be adequate to enable the helicopter to proceed to a suitable airport,
having regard to terrain, obstacles and route distance limitations.
NOTE: Despite airports notifying low visibility procedures in force, ILS sensitive area protection is
only provided at airports 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 protection.
6.9.3 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.
When the actual airport QNH is not available, ATC will report the Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) QNH
on the ATIS. The ATIS will include information in the format “ACTUAL QNH NOT AVAILABLE,
AERODROME FORECAST QNH...”.
NOTE: Forecast QNH reported by ATC or on the ATIS is not an approved source of actual QNH.
7.3.3 Where the forecast area QNH is used, the minima used must be increased by 50 ft.
All instrument approach procedures include this adjustment where a regular TAF service is not
available. No adjustment is necessary to meet the requirement for those airports.
When an airport receives a regular TAF service and the TAF is not available the minima used
must be increased by 50 ft.

charts shown below, as appropriate.
NOTE: The example shown is an airport at 2000 ft elevation reporting a surface temperature of –
9°C. The procedure IAF is at 5250 ft (3250 ft HAA) and DA at 2400 ft (400 ft DH). At 2000 ft air-
port elevation, ISA –15° is –4°C, therefore a correction should be applied. The correction is: to
IAF, add 250 ft; to DA add 30 ft.
