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.
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.

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.
10. RPAS in all classes of airspace and when instructed to enable transponder—7000.
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.

PACIFIC
CPDLC COVERAGE
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.

AUSTRALIAN ORGANIZED TRACK STRUCTURE (AUSOTS)
INTRODUCTION
The Australian Organized Track Structure (AUSOTS) has been developed to help provide airlines
with better traffic flows and significantly contribute to airline fuel savings. The AUSOTS will be cre-
ated and promulgated on a daily basis, considering many variables including wind conditions, as
a series of Track Definition Messages (TDM) for the most efficient track between specific interna-
tional gates and Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The future will bring further development of
the AUSOTS, based on collaboration with participating airlines.
AUSOTS GUIDELINES
GENERAL INFORMATION
AUSOTS will be available for all aircraft meeting the minimum requirement of RNP10 or RNP4.
Any aircraft which loses its RNP capability enroute, but is still able to navigate on the Flex Tracks
may continue to do so. Aircraft unable to continue navigating on the Flex Tracks will be re-cleared
by ATC via the fixed route structure.
On the occasions when the daily optimum route corresponds completely with a published route,
the Trackmaster will still publish these details as a Track Definition Message (TDM) to avoid the
risk of confusion over possible lost TDMs.
GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY
AUSOTS tracks may be established within the Melbourne and Brisbane FIRs. Outside the YBBB
and YMMM FIRs, aircraft operators will flight plan as required by the specific Air Navigation Serv-
ice Provider (ANSP).
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

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.

ATC PROCEDURES
ATC will apply existing separation standards as utilized on the fixed route structure.
ATC will apply the current priority structure with the inclusion that when conflictions occur
between aircraft on the AUSOTS and those that were able to, but elected not to, utilize the Flex
Tracks, ATC will apply separation favoring the aircraft on the Flex Track.
The TDM identifier will NOT be used as part of an ATC clearance or in radio transmissions in gen-
eral.
POSITION REPORTING
Position reports must be made in accordance with ICAO Doc 7030 procedures. Within the Flex
Track airspace, position reports must be made using geographical coordinates or named fixes as
specified in the AUSOTS TDM.

SYSTEM REVIEW
Review of ATC fixed requirements and airline agreed parameters will be addressed as follows:
a. Stakeholder Significant Safety Issues – immediately reviewed by Trackmaster/Airservices
Australia Operations Manager
b. Changes to Airline Agreed Parameters – quarterly, either via stakeholder meetings called by
the Trackmaster or direct e-mail to the Trackmaster who will initiate discussion with all stake-
holders.
c. Broadening of Capability – subsequent to the Post Implementation Review of initial trial.
CONTINGENCY ARRANGEMENTS
Regardless of circumstances, if the Flex Track is unable to be published at the scheduled time,
then a NOTAM shall be prepared and published that advises airlines to use charted fixed routes.

1 GENERAL
1.1 The following general rules and procedures apply to enable identification of air traffic enter-
ing any designated Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) under the control of Australia.
1.2 An ADIZ is airspace of defined dimensions within which identification of all aircraft is
required.
1.3 When a flight is intended to operate within an ADIZ, the pilot, unless exempted in accord-
ance with the following paragraph must:
a. lodge a flight plan covering flight within the ADIZ with the appropriate ATS unit at least 60
minutes before entry into the ADIZ;
b. report position to ATS when passing each position reporting point within the ADIZ;
c. report position to ATS at ADIZ boundary with a geographical reference (e.g.; 15 NM east
of...) or, if the departure point is within 100 NM of the ADIZ boundary, report departure;
d. report departure if departing from a point within the ADIZ;
e. maintain a continuous listening watch on the communications frequency of the appropriate
ATS unit or on another frequency as directed until the flight is through the ADIZ;
f. not deliberately deviate from tracks and altitudes filed in the flight plan unless prior ATC
clearance is obtained, or outside controlled airspace, notification is given to the appropriate

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
1.2.1 Radio navigation aids serving the same location normally radiate the same identification
codes. Further, at ILS/localizer installations, the normal identification is preceded by the letter “I”;
and at private non-accredited NDBs, a four letter identifier is radiated, the first letter being “X”.
1.2.2 A GBAS station is identified by the relevant Airport’s 4 letter ICAO code where the GBAS
is installed (e.g. YSSY). Approaches provided from the GBAS station are identified by the Refer-
ence Path ID field in the Final Approach Segment (FAS) data blocks. The Reference Path ID is
unique to the approach to be used and published on the Approach Plate for the runway. Each
Reference Path ID commences with the letter “G”.
2 NON-DIRECTIONAL BEACONS
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.
3. A severe and sudden pitch-up upset can occur in cases when the aircraft:
a. intercepts an ILS glidepath from above; or
b. during an ILS approach, deviated significantly above the normal glidepath angle.
Caution should be exercised in such situations particularly for autopilot couple
approaches. See AIC 14/14 (not published herein).
6.2 FAILURES
6.2.1 NDB. In the event of an NDB failure, aircraft must join the ILS outside the outer marker as
directed by NOTAM or ATC.
6.2.2 Glide path. In the event of glide path failure, only the localizer procedure is available.
6.2.3 Markers. Where marker beacons are not available, aircraft may use the ILS if the alter-
nate fixes nominated on the IAL chart or by NOTAM are used for altimeter checks.
6.2.4 GBAS. If GBAS fails, GLS approaches are not available.
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.

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 384

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.

METAUST MELBOURNE
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 Bureau National Operations
Centre (BNOC) 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.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 519
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 Network Coordination Centre (NCC). This unit is located
within Airservices' NOC to provide meteorological support to the centre.
Meteorological information is available by telephone, facsimile and electronic briefing systems
from the Network Coordination Centre (NCC) Pilot Briefing Office, located in Canberra. Contact
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
4.1 A limited elaborative briefing service is available from Regional Forecasting Centres (RFCs)
and Meteorological Offices (MOs) on the following telephone numbers (briefing may not be availa-
ble 24/7):
Forecasts for critical locations are included in some GAFs. These are Bowral (BWL - NSW-E), Mt
Victoria (MVI - NSW-E), Murrurundi (MUI - NSW-E) and Kilmore Gap (KMG - VIC). Aerodrome
Weather Reports (AWRs), i.e. METAR/SPECI and AWIS, are only available for MUI and KMG.
However, AWRs from Moss Vale (MSV) and Mount Boyce (MTB) typically provide representative
observations for BWL and MVI respectively.
A Flight Forecast (text based forecasts) may be issued for any part of a flight for which a routine
GAF is not prepared.
2.2 These forecasts are available from ATS automated briefing systems and briefing offices.
b. Weather: CAVOK, MTW, NIL, TURB, and other abbreviations as per the codes given in
Section 17 — Weather Code and Translation.
c. Cloud Amounts or descriptors: FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC and for CB, ISOL, OCNL, FRQ,
EMBD, BASE, CLD ON GND
d. Qualifiers: MOD, SEV, +, -.
e. Units: KT, KM, M, FT.
f. Time: Z.
g. Variations: TEMPO and INTER are only used for Critical Locations. FM, TL, BECMG
h. Heights: ABV, BLW, LYR, SFC
i. Directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.
j. Corrections: COR (correction), IMPR (improvement to conditions), TRANS ERR (transmis-
sion error), TYPO (typographical error).
k. General: FZLVL, FZLYR, WDSPR, WI, VAL, STNR, BTN and other abbreviations listed in

during the validity of the TAF. This will particularly include low probabilities of fog. It can include
conditions that have a less than 30% chance of occurring, or if there is uncertainty as to the timing
of the event.
11.5 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.
11.6 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.
11.7 PROB% is used in TAF to indicate an expected 30 or 40% probability of occurrence.
PROB is not used in TTF.
13 FORECAST AMENDMENTS
13.1 Amendments to forecasts are issued as necessary when changes are expected during the
period of validity of a given forecast.
15.2 At non-controlled airports, the report should also be broadcast to all aircraft on the CTAF
and should include the name of the airport.
15.3 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.
16.2 LOCATION
16.2.1 The location is indicated by the ICAO location indicator, the place name or the approved
abbreviation.
16.5 AUTO
16.5.1 This group will be included when the METAR/SPECI contains only automated observa-
tions, which may include visibility, present weather, and cloud.
16.5.2 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).
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 549
AUSTRALIA
AVIATION FORECASTS
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.
16.6 WIND
16.6.1 Wind direction is rounded to the nearest 10 degrees and is given in three (3) figures relat-
ing to True North.
16.6.2 Wind speeds are given in two (2) figures.
16.6.3 When the wind is calm, the group is encoded as 00000KT.
16.6.4 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.
16.6.5 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.
16.6.6 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.
16.7 VISIBILITY
16.7.1 In TAF, the prevailing visibility (the greatest visibility covering more than half the airport)
is always given.
16.7.2 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.
16.7.3 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.
16.7.4 A visibility of 10km or more is given by 9999.

16.12 CLOUD
16.12.1 Cloud height is reported in hundreds of feet using three figures; eg, 700 ft is reported as
007.
16.12.2 Cloud amount is reported using the following abbreviations:
16.12.3 Nil cloud is reported as SKC (sky clear). Cloud information is not included in a forecast if
the sky is clear.
16.12.4 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.

d. Cumulonimbus and/or towering cumulus clouds, whenever observed and not reported in a.,
b., or c. above.
16.12.5 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.
16.12.6 Whenever cumulonimbus cloud is forecast, the degree of associated thunderstorm
activity or probability of occurrence is included.
16.12.7 A clear sky may be indicated in a report by SKC or NSC.
16.13 CAVOK
16.13.1 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.
16.13.2 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.
16.16 TEMPERATURE
16.16.1 Aerodrome weather reports contain both temperature and dew point.
16.16.2 Up to four forecast values of air temperature are given, for the times HH, HH+3 hours,
HH+6 hours and HH+9 hours, where HH is the time of commencement of the TAF validity period.
Users should use linear interpolation to determine the forecast value between these points. The
temperature forecasts are prefixed by the letter “T”.
16.16.3 Negative values are indicated by the letter M before the numeral.
16.17 QNH
16.17.1 QNH is given in whole hectopascals using four (4) figures.
16.17.2 Observed intermediate values are rounded down. QNH is always given, prefixed by the
letter Q; eg, Q0997.
16.17.3 Up to four forecast values of QNH are given, for the times HH, HH+3 hours, HH+6
hours and HH+9 hours, where HH is the time of commencement of the TAF validity period. Users

1 METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS
1.1 AIRPORT WEATHER REPORTS
Airport Weather Reports are reports of observations of meteorological conditions at an airport.
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.
Special Reports (SPECI) airport weather reports are issued whenever weather conditions fluctu-
ate about or are below specified criteria.
1.1.3.1 At staffed stations, SPECI reports are issued when either of the following conditions are
present:
a. when there is BKN or OVC cloud covering the celestial dome below an airport's highest alter-
nate minimum cloud base or 1500 ft, whichever is higher;
b. when the visibility is below an airport's highest alternate minimum visibility or 5000m, which-
ever is greater.
At non-staffed stations with cloud and visibility sensors, SPECI for cloud and visibility based on
output from these sensors may also be issued.
1.1.3.2 SPECI may also be issued under the following conditions:
a. Wind —
1. when mean direction changes by 30 degrees or more, the mean speed before or after
the change being 20 kt or more; or
2. when the mean speed changes by 10 kt or more, the mean speed before or after the
change being 30 kt or more; or
3. when gusts vary by 10 kt or more from a mean speed of 15 kt or more; or
4. when a gust exceeds the last reported gust by 10 kt or more.
b. Other conditions —
1. when any of the following begins, ends or changes in intensity — thunderstorm, moder-
ate or heavy precipitation, freezing precipitation, dust storm, sandstorm, funnel cloud
(tornado or waterspout), low drifting or blowing dust, sand or snow, freezing fog;
2. at the incidence of any other phenomena likely to be significant to the operation of an
aircraft;

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 storms 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 above 10,000 ft are issued for the whole of YBBB, and for
YMMM to 50°S, extending throughout YMMM south of 50°S upon request (See diagram below for
Australia FIRs).
2.1.11 SIGMET for thunderstorms are issues for the whole of YBBB, and YMMM to 50°S.
2.1.12 SIGMET for phenomena at and below 10,000 ft (other than thunderstorms, tropical cyclo-
nes and volcanic ash) are issued for the shaded area shown below and the remainder (including
south of 50°S) upon request.

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 or at OBS +6HR position (only for VA)
NOTE 1: the polygon given is the geographic position of the phenomenon at the beginning of the
validity period.
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 564
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
NOTE 2: the first point of a polygon may not be repeated when describing the horizontal extent of
an event.
NOTE 3: the vertical extent of an event will be given in feet AMSL for levels at and below
10,000 feet (e.g. 9000 ft); and in flight levels for levels above 10,000 feet (e.g. FL110).
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.
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. 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:
METEOROLOGY DATA - PACIFIC 565
AUSTRALIA
METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES
2.2.12 Reference to another SIGMET will be included when there is a SIGMET current for the
same event in the adjoining Melbourne or Brisbane FIR (i.e. when the event straddles the boun-
dary of YMMM and YBBB).
2.2.13 Examples
The first example is a SIGMET for a turbulence event which is initially confined to YBBB. The
second and third SIGMETS are subsequently issued because the extent of the turbulence is
expected to move south and straddle the boundary of YMMM and YBBB. Note that the descrip-
tion of the horizontal extent of the event is the same in both SIGMETs. The fourth and fifth SIG-
METs cancel C02 and D01 as the intensity of the turbulence has weakened and no longer
requires a SIGMET.

The polygon shown is the geographical position of the phenomenon at the beginning of the valid-
ity period. This product is intended for situational awareness, and the text SIGMET should be
used for flight planning purposes. Coverage of this product is limited to those areas in the Austral-
ian FIRs given in sections 2.1.9 thru 2.1.11.
2.2.14.1 The following three graphics will be automatically generated and issued every ten
minutes and when a text SIGMET is issued:
a. Low level SIGMETs (affecting airspace below FL100);
b. High level SIGMETs (affecting airspace above FL100); and

2.3 AIRMET
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 GAF:
2.3.2 AIRMET information, which concerns phenomena of a lesser degree of severity than
SIGMET information, is given to aircraft operating at or below 10,000 ft.
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.
2.3.5 AIRMET Format
The coding format of an AIRMET will mostly follow the ICAO Annex 3 format, including the follow-
ing specifics:
a. Two digit number providing sequential count of the number of AIRMET issues per FIR since
0001 UTC in the day concerned;
b. The validity period of an AIRMET shall not exceed 4 hours; and
c. Inclusion of a remark (“RMK”) line, to list the identifiers of GAFs that are impacted by the
AIRMET. In addition, ‘SEE ALSO YXXX’ will be included when cross-referencing of AIRMET
messages is required to any matching AIRMET in the other FIR.

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.

TIME SYSTEM
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used for civil aviation.
TABLES AND CODES - AUSTRALIA 669
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 Daylight Saving Time each year between October of that year
and April 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 Daylight Saving Time and
which do not have such hours promulgated.
EXAMPLE: To determine last light at Echuca (S36° 09' E144° 46') on the 20th of November.
Using the graph, enter at 20 November at the top of the page and follow downwards to latitude
36° (by interpolation), then horizontally to the left and read off LMT = 1919. To convert to UTC,
enter the “Conversion of Arc to Time” table at longitude 144° (9 hours 36 minutes). Add the incre-
ment corresponding to 46 minutes in the right hand column;
= 3' 04" + 0936 = 0939.
Subtract this from the LMT found; 1919 -0939 = 0940 UTC. To find EST add 10 hours to UTC =
1940 EST.
Users of these graphs should note that the parameters used in compiling the Time of First Light/
Last Light Graphs do not include the nature of the terrain surrounding a location, or the presence
of other than a cloudless sky and unlimited visibility at that location.
Consequently, the presence of cloud cover, poor visibility or high terrain to the west of an airport
will result in last light occurring at a time earlier than that extracted from the appropriate graph.
Allowance should be made for these factors when planning a flight having an ETA near the time
of last light.
NAIPS automatically computes first light and last light. This information can be provided through
pilot access, as part of a telephone briefing, or from FLIGHTWATCH.

Australian definitions and abbreviations applicable to this section which are not published
or differ from those published in INTRODUCTION — Chart Glossary. See also Definitions
and Abbreviations sections in the Emergency, Meteorology and Terminal chapters of this
manual.
1 DEFINITIONS
ACTIVE LAHSO RUNWAY — The runway used during LAHSO for arriving aircraft issued with a
hold short instruction.
ADS-C AGREEMENT — A reporting plan which establishes the conditions of ADS-C data report-
ing (i.e. data required by the air traffic services unit and frequency of ADS-C reports which have to
be agreed to prior to the provision of air traffic services).
AERONAUTICAL BEACON — An aeronautical ground light visible at all azimuths, either continu-
ously or intermittently, to designate a particular point on the surface of the earth.
AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION CIRCULAR (AIC) — A notice containing information that does
not qualify for the origination of a NOTAM, or for inclusion in the AIP, but which relates to flight
safety, air navigation, technical, administrative or legislative matters.
AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION PUBLICATION (AIP) — A publication issued by or with the
authority of a state and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air
navigation.
AIP SUPPLEMENT (SUP) — Temporary changes to the information contained in the AIP which
are published by means of special pages.
AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION — An identification of up to 7 alpha-numeric characters used to
identify the aircraft in flight notifications and in Mode S transponders/ADS-B transmitters.
NOTE: The Aircraft Identification entered into the Mode S Transponder, or ADS–B Transmitter,
must match the Aircraft Identification entered into Item 7 of the Flight Notification or, when no
flight notification has been filed, the aircraft registration. Hyphens or symbols may not be used
within the identification.
AIRCRAFT PARKING POSITION TAXILANE — A portion of an apron designated as a taxiway
and intended to provide access to aircraft parking positions only.
AIR-GROUND COMMUNICATIONS — Two-way communications between aircraft and stations
on the surface of the earth.
AIRPORT — A defined area of land or water (including any buildings, installations and equip-
ment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and movement of air-
craft.
AIRPORT BEACON — An aeronautical beacon used to indicate the location of an airport from
the air.

Airservices Australia’s NOTAM Office is responsible for the issuing of NOTAM. Contact details
are:
1.3.2.2 NOTAM provide information that is of direct operational significance and which may
immediately affect aircraft operations. A NOTAM is issued in a format containing fields (Q) and
(A) to (G) as follows:

G Upper limit.
In Australian Domestic distribution only, NOTAM series and their respective categories are:
1. ‘B’ series for Domestic NOTAM — ATS category only.
2. ‘C’ series for Domestic NOTAM — All other categories.
For example NOTAM numbering is preceded by the letter “C” followed by the year; e.g.
C0689/08
For each location, a separate series of numbers is issued; thus the NOTAM is identified by both
the location and the number, not by the number alone.
1.3.2.3 In the international environment, Australia issues NOTAM against a series of registers.
These registers are by individual FIRs, multiple FIRs, or Australia General. The individual FIRs
and multiple FIRs registers are further subdivided by NOTAM category. The series are as follows:
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
aviation community may be disseminated by Airservices Australia website only. When this occurs,
notification is via a “trigger” NOTAM.
1.3.4.3 Checklists of current AICs are issued monthly.
1.3.5 Preflight Information Service — A preflight information service is provided from the Net-

4 AUSTRALIAN SANCTIONS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to inform all persons operating aircraft into Australia of Australian
sanction laws.
4.1.2 Australian sanction laws implement United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions
regimes and Australian autonomous sanctions regimes.
4.1.3 Contravening an Australian sanction law is a serious criminal offence. Penalties for sanc-
tions offences include up to 10 years in prison and substantial fines.
4.1.4 All operators should check the sanctions measures which apply, including before bringing
import sanctioned goods into Australia, taking export sanctioned goods out of Australia, and deal-
ing with persons who are subject to targeted financial sanctions or whose entry into or transit
through Australia is prohibited.
Australia is in the process of implementing the recently established UNSC sanctions regime for
Mali.
For an updated list of individuals and entities that may be subject to targeted financial sanctions
and travel bans, which might include nationals and entities from countries other than the ones
listed above, please consult the Consolidated List available at www.dfat.gov.au/international-rela-
tions/security/sanctions/pages/consolidated-list.aspx.
5.2.2 Airlines are prevented from carrying any air cargo that has originated from, or transited
through Syria, Yemen or Somalia.
5.2.3 Air cargo that has originated from, or transited through, Egypt is prohibited, except for
items that are currently exempt from screening under Australian Regulations, such as diplomatic
bags and smaller items of international mail.
5.2.4 Air cargo that has originated from, or transited through. Bangladesh is prohibited; unless it
has undergone security examination at an approved last port of call before travelling to Australia
or is otherwise exempt from examination under Australian regulations.
5.2.5 The prohibitions have been implemented through a legislative instrument made by the
former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, under
Section 65B(2)(b) of the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004.
d. APPROACH: used by Approach Control (APP) service when established on a discrete fre-
quency or by Departure Control (DEP) when on the same frequency.
e. DEPARTURES: used by Departure Control (DEP) service when established on a discrete
frequency.
f. CENTER: used for Area Control (ACC) service, SIS and FIS, excluding AFIS.
g. INFORMATION used when an AFIS is being provided on a discrete frequency.
7 REGULATION OF FLIGHT
7.1 ASSESSMENT OF PRIORITIES
7.1.1 Subject to the duty to facilitate and maintain the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air
traffic, ATC will apply priorities in the following order:
a. An aircraft in an emergency, including being subjected to unlawful interference, will be given
priority in all circumstances.
b. A multi-engined aircraft which has suffered the loss of an engine and has not been subject to
a SAR phase, or has not been considered under the provision of paragraph a. above, shall
be granted priority for landing.
c. An aircraft which has suffered radio communications failure will be granted priority for land-
ing.
d. An aircraft which has declared a Mercy flight.
e. An aircraft participating in a Search and Rescue (SAR), Medical (MEDEVAC), or Fire and
Flood Relief (FFR) flights shall be granted priority as necessary.
f. An aircraft operating under police call sign “POLAIR RED” or “FEDPOL RED” engaged in
operations where life is at risk.
g. An aircraft engaged in the personal transport of Heads of State or of Government, or other
selected dignitaries on official visits to Australia, or the personal transport of the Governor-
General or the Prime Minister.
h. State aircraft special requirements flights where clearance has been prearranged.
7.2 Subject to the priorities of paragraph 6.1, an aircraft first able to use the maneuvering area
or desired airspace in the normal course of its operations will be given priority except:
a. An aircraft landing or taking off will be given priority over taxiing aircraft;
b. A landing aircraft will have priority over a departing aircraft if the latter cannot take off with
prescribed separation standards;
c. For flights in Class C terminal control areas associated with Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and
Sydney, ATC will apply priorities in the following order:
1. with equal priority, flights compliant with their ATFM requirements, flights exempt from
ATFM measures and Medical Aircraft (HOSP) operations;

d. communications facilities;
e. ATS procedures;
f. airspace status;
g. hazard alerts;
h. search and rescue services;
i. maps and charts; and
j. regulations concerning entry, transit and departure for international flights.
8.7 ATIS
8.7.1 At airports where ATIS is provided, the normal operational information required by aircraft
prior to take-off or landing is broadcast automatically and continuously either on a discrete fre-
quency 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.
8.7.4 The following information is transmitted on the ATIS:
– (airport) TERMINAL INFORMATION (code letter ALPHA, BRAVO, etc, as assigned to each
separately prepared transmission. “ZULU” is not used)
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 728
AUSTRALIA
AIR TRAFFIC RULES AND SERVICES
b. SINGLE MEAN VALUE whenever the extremes between minimum and maximum are 10
kt or less (e.g., “WIND 250 DEGREES, 25 KNOTS”)
c. TWO VALUES REPRESENTING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUES whenever the
extremes in wind vary by more than 10 kt (e.g., “WIND 250 DEGREES MINIMUM 15
KNOTS, MAXIMUM 28 KNOTS”).
NOTE: When quoting a wind with variations in speed and direction, the above criteria may
be varied in order to indicate the true crosswind and/or tailwind.
Where threshold wind analyzers are installed, and the wind at the threshold of a duty runway
varies from that of the central wind analyzer or the threshold wind on the other duty runway by
the criteria specified for the revision of ATIS, threshold winds may be broadcast on the ATIS;
e.g., THRESHOLD WIND RUNWAY (number) ... / ..., RUNWAY (number) ... /...
– VISIBILITY (distance is reported as appropriate:
a. >10km – “GREATER THAN WUN ZERO KILOMETERS” or actual distance “... KILOME-
TERS”
b. Greater than 5km and up to and including 10km – “... KILOMETERS”;
c. Up to and including 5000m – “... METERS”; and
d. between 1500m and 800m – RVR may be reported; 800m or less – RVR will be reported.
Multiple RVR observations are always representative of the touchdown zone, midpoint zone,
and the roll-out/stop end zone, respectively.
– PRESENT WEATHER (as applicable; e.g., showers in area)
– or –
– CAVOK
– CLOUD (below 5000 ft or below MSA, whichever is greater; cumulonimbus, if applicable; if the
sky is obscured, vertical visibility when available).
– TEMPERATURE
– QNH
– ACTUAL QNH NOT AVAILABLE AERODROME FORECAST QNH ... (when the QNH is
sourced from the Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) due to unavailability of actual QNH).
– Any available information on significant meteorological phenomena in the approach, take-off
and climb-out, including the presence of freezing fog.
– Advice on hazard alert information including unauthorized laser illumination events and RPAS
activity:
*ON FIRST CONTACT WITH (e.g., GROUND, TOWER, APPROACH) NOTIFY RECEIPT OF
(code letter of the ATIS broadcast).
*This contact information may not be transmitted when recording space is limiting.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 730
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 731
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.
8.9 AERIS
8.9.1 The Automatic Enroute Information Service continuously broadcasts METAR/SPECI and
TTF (where available) from a network of VHF transmitters installed around Australia.
8.9.2 The information broadcast on the individual transmitters caters primarily for the needs of
aircraft operating in control areas within VHF range of the facility.
8.9.3 The network frequencies and the operational information menus are contained in METE-
OROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISORIES.
8.11 VOLMET
8.11.1 VOLMET broadcasts, prefixed by the designator “VOLMET”, provide meteorological
information for Australian major international airports and Townsville.
8.11.2 Information on VOLMET is contained in METEOROLOGY REPORTS AND ADVISO-
RIES.
8.13.4 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.
10.3 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.
10.4 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.
10.5 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.

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.

– 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 745
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 748

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 749
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.

NOTE: In the event that an illuminated wind direction indicator is not available, aircraft
may continue to operate if wind velocity information can be obtained from an approved
observer or an Automatic Weather Station (AWS).
c. an aircraft must not take off or land at an airport when the surface or strength of the maneu-
vering area is unsuitable for operations of the aircraft type.
2.2.5 Minimum runway width for an airplane is the runway width specified in the Table below at
the intersection of:
a. the row in the Table that specifies the airplane’s code number; and
b. the column in the Table that specifies its code letter.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 757

2.2.6 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 a GNSS receiver appropriate for an aircraft operated at night under
VFR, and the pilot is appropriately qualified.
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
interleaved circuitry lighting, pilots will be notified of a doubled spacing of runway edge lights; ie,
from 60m to 120m spacing. When such a failure occurs at night, pilots must apply the following
requirements to an approach to land:
a. In VMC:
No restriction.
b. In Less Than VMC:
The prevailing visibility must be equal to, or greater than, the published minimum for the
instrument approach procedure being used for an aircraft’s arrival multiplied by a factor of
1.5.
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.

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

runway. The numbers shown indicate the distance in meters from the sign to the Hold Short
Line.
NOTE: Defense airports also provide Distance To Go signs. The distance shown on such a
sign is in feet and is the distance from the sign to the end of the runway.
c. Taxi-Holding Position Sign at Category II Runways — Where an ILS Cat II holding posi-
tion exists at a runway/taxiway intersection, the taxi-holding position sign will have a Cat II
inscription.
d. Runway Intersection Signs — This sign is normally provided for a runway used in LAHSO
to show the designation of the intersecting runway. A sign is placed on both sides of the
runway at the Hold Short Line (75m to the intersecting runway centerline). These signs are
illuminated for night operations. An ATC take-off or landing clearance constitutes clearance
to pass such signs except when a landing clearance specifically directs that the aircraft hold
short of the intersecting runway during the landing run.

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)

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.

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)

7.1.3.2.1 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.
7.1.3.3 The intensity of the system may be varied at the request of the pilot.
7.1.3.4 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).
7.1.4 PAPI
7.1.4.1 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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 794
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS
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.
7.1.4.2 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.
7.1.4.3 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 795
AUSTRALIA
AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS
7.1.4.4 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.
7.1.4.5 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.
8.2 ATC has the authority to issue or to withhold, for reasons of traffic, permission for vehicular
or pedestrian movement on the maneuvering area. When it is permitted, such movement will be
rigidly controlled.
8.3 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, will be instructed to stop and hold position for radio
clearances, or light signal clearances, from the tower before crossing any runway or taxiway,
unless they are on a portion of the maneuvering area marked off by lights, flags or other conven-
tional warning signs. In radio advices to aircraft, ATC will identify as distinctly as possible, persons
or vehicles on the maneuvering area.
All persons, including drivers of vehicles, on the maneuvering area must stop and hold at all ligh-
ted stop bars and may only proceed further when a clearance to enter or cross the runway has
been received and the stop bar lights have been switched off. (See also ATC — DEPARTURE,
APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES — Stop Bar Contingency Procedures.)
8.5 All persons, including drivers of vehicles, required to hold short of a runway, must hold at the
appropriate holding point for that runway, or the runway strip edge.
All persons, including drivers of vehicles, in receipt of a clearance from ATC to enter a runway,
must hold short of an intersecting runway except when an instruction “CROSS RUNWAY
(number)” has been issued and the stop bar lights, where fitted, have been switched off. (See
also ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES — Stop Bar Contin-
gency Procedures.)

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1 ALTIMETRY
1.1 PREFLIGHT ALTIMETER CHECK
1.1.1 General
1.1.1.1 Whenever an accurate QNH is available and the aircraft is at a known elevation, pilots
must conduct an accuracy check of the aircraft altimeter(s) at some point prior to take-off.
NOTE: Where the first check indicates that an altimeter is unserviceable, the pilot is permitted to
conduct a further check at another location on the same airfield; for example, the first check on
the apron and the second at the runway threshold (to determine altimeter serviceability).
1.1.2 IFR Altimeters
1.1.2.1 With an accurate QNH set, the altimeter(s) should read the nominated elevation to within
60 ft. If an altimeter has an error in excess of +/- 75 ft, the altimeter is to be considered unservice-
able.
1.1.2.2 When two altimeters are required for the category of operation, one of the altimeters
must read the nominated elevation to within 60 ft. When the remaining altimeter has an error
between 60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the
altimeter can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess
of 60 ft on the second check, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable for flight under the
IFR.
1.1.2.3 An aircraft fitted with two altimeters, but requiring only one for the category of operation,
may continue to operate under the IFR provided one altimeter reads the nominated elevation to
within 60 ft. Should the remaining altimeter have an error in excess of 75 ft, that altimeter must be
placarded unserviceable and the maintenance release appropriately endorsed.
1.1.2.4 When an aircraft is fitted with only one altimeter and that altimeter has an error between
60 ft and 75 ft, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the altimeter
can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess of 60 ft
on the second check, the altimeter is to be considered unserviceable for flight under the IFR.
1.1.3 VFR Altimeters
1.1.3.1 With an accurate QNH set, a VFR altimeter(s) should read site elevation to within 100 ft
(110 ft at test sites above 3300 ft) to be accepted by the pilot as serviceable. If an aircraft fitted
with two VFR altimeters continues to fly with one altimeter reading 100 ft (110 ft) or more in error,
the faulty altimeter must be placarded unserviceable and the error noted in the maintenance
release.
1.1.3.2 VFR altimeters are not permitted for airplane operations above FL200. VFR flights oper-
ating above FL200 must be equipped with an altimeter calibrated to IFR standards.
1.1.4 Accurate QNH and Site Elevation
1.1.4.1 A QNH can be considered accurate 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 798
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:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 806
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
a. an approved area navigation system that meets performance requirements of the intended
airspace or route; or
b. use of a radio navigation system or systems on routes where, after making allowance for
possible tracking errors of +/-9° from the last positive fix, the aircraft will come within the
rated coverage of a radio aid which can be used to fix the position of the aircraft. The maxi-
mum time interval between positive fixes must not exceed two (2) hours; or
c. visual reference to the ground or water by day, on route segments where suitable enroute
radio navigation aids are not available, provided that weather conditions permit flight in VMC
and the visual position fixing requirements of paragraphs 5.2.1b are able to be met.
NOTE 1: A pilot must not undertake a VFR flight on top of more than SCT cloud unless the
aircraft 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
conditions 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 indicates that the entire flight will be able to be conducted in VMC.
e. 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.
f. The pilot in command of a VFR flight wishing to navigate by means of radio navigation sys-
tems or any other means must indicate in the flight notification only those radio navigation
aids with which the aircraft is equipped and the pilot is competent to use under CASR
61.385.
g. VFR flights must not be conducted above FL200 unless:
(1) 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
(2) the aircraft is equipped for flight under the IFR; and
(3) the aircraft is engaged in an ‘IFR pick up’, ‘VFR climb/descent’ or ‘VFR on top’ proce-
dure as published in DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES; and
(4) the aircraft remains in Class E airspace.
5.3 TIME
5.3.1 During flight, pilots must maintain a time reference accurate to within +/- 30 seconds.
5.12.2 The table below summarizes navigation air requirements if, despite carrying navigation
aids meeting the requirements of CAO 20.18 (as summarized paragraph 5.12.1), an IFR aircraft
conducts the route or terminal segments of a flight by reference to ground-based navigation aids.
must not be operated under the Instrument Flight Rules unless it is fitted with:
1. an approved GPWS that has a predictive terrain hazard warning function; or
2. if the aeroplane has a maximum take-off weight of 5,700kg or less, but is carrying 10 or more
passengers – a TAWS -B+ system.
5.14.2 Subject to the provisions of an approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) under para-
graph 10 of CAO 20.18, an aeroplane required to be fitted with a GPWS shall not depart with that
equipment unserviceable from an aerodrome where facilities are available to repair or replace the
GPWS and in no case shall an aeroplane be operated with its GPWS unserviceable for a period
exceeding 24 hours from the time the equipment was determined to be unserviceable.
5.15.1.3.2 An aircraft, which is fitted with serviceable ADS-B transmitting equipment that com-
plies with an approved equipment configuration, must operate the equipment continuously during
the flight in all airspace at all altitudes unless the pilot is directed or approved otherwise by ATC.
5.15.1.3.3 An aircraft fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment must not fly in
Australian-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 5.15.1.3.4.
NOTE: It is considered equivalent to deactivation if NUCp or NIC is set to continually transmit only
a value of zero.
5.15.1.3.4 An aircraft, fitted with non-compliant ADS-B transmitting equipment, may operate
without the equipment deactivated under all of the following conditions:
a. the aircraft is undertaking an ADS-B test flight;
b. the flight is conducted in VMC; and
c. the operation is below FL290.
5.15.1.3.5 Aircraft with demonstrated non-complying ADS-B transmissions will be notified by
ATC at the time of detection. The pilot in command will be requested to contact ATC on comple-
tion of the flight for additional information regarding the observed issue. ATC must be notified of
fault correction within 24 hours or ADS-B services for that aircraft will be withdrawn. ADS-B serv-
ices will be restored within 48 hours when advice is received of corrective action.
5.15.1.4 Flight with Unserviceable ADS-B Equipment
5.15.1.4.1 Where an IFR aircraft is ADS-B equipped but the equipment has become unservicea-
ble before flight, the pilot in command or aircraft operator must contact Airservices Australia for
prior approval of any flight. Any approval agreed by ATC for the flight will be subject to operational
conditions.
NOTE: Airservices Australia contact numbers: Brisbane FIR: 07 3866 3224, Melbourne FIR: 03
9235 7420.
5.15.1.4.2 Where ADS-B equipment becomes unserviceable in flight, Airservices Australia may
approve an IFR 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.
5.15.1.4.3 Once an approval is obtained, clearance to operate in controlled airspace may be
issued by Air Traffic Control at the time of flight and is subject to traffic management considera-
tions. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B will be afforded priority. For IFR flights, the pilot in command
or aircraft operator should plan their fuel requirements on the basis that a clearance may not be
available.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 816

GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
5.17.7 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.

9 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
9.1 GENERAL
9.1.1 Guidance concerning fuel to be carried is contained in Civil Aviation Advisory Publication
(CAAP) 234-1, available from CanPrint Communications, AIP shop (see details online
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 822
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
www.casa.gov.au/rules-and-regulations/standard-page/civil-aviation-advisory-publications (CASA
website)).
9.1.2 Air Operator Certificate (AOC) Holders
9.1.2.1 Fuel requirements for aircraft operated under an AOC are as approved in the company
Operations Manual.
11 MINIMUM FUEL
11.1 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.
12 EMERGENCY FUEL
12.1 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 825
AUSTRALIA
GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
12.2 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.
14 FLYING TRAINING
14.1 FLYING TRAINING AREAS IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
14.1.1 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.
14.1.2 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.
15 AIR DISPLAY
15.1 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 827

FLIGHT PLANNING
1.2 FORECASTS
1.2.1 Forecast information must include:
a. an airport forecast for the:
1. destination; and
2. when required, alternate airport; and
b. one of the following:
1. a flight forecast; or
2. a GAF (at and below A100); or
3. a SIGWX forecast (above A100); and
c. a wind and temperature forecast.
For a flight to a destination for which a prescribed instrument approach procedure does not exist,
the minimum requirement is a GAF.
NOTE: A wind and temperature forecast may be obtained from Wind and Temperature Charts,
Grid Point Wind and Temperature Charts, Route Sector Winds and Temperatures Forecasts, a
NAIPS Wind and Temperature Profile (applicable for the flight), as well as from approved flight
planning systems that derive data from the Bureau of Meteorology of the WAFS.
1.2.2 For flights for which a forecast is required and cannot be obtained, the flight is permitted to
depart provided the pilot is satisfied that the weather at the departure point will permit the safe
return of the flight within one hour of departure. The flight is permitted to continue provided a 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 airport forecast is required and cannot be obtained
or is “provisional”, the flight is permitted to depart, provided an alternate airport meeting all the
requirements specified in ATC — AIRPORTS AND GROUND AIDS — Alternate Airports is provi-
ded.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 828
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
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 airport forecasts for the destination and alternate airports, to be nominated in the flight plan,
are valid for a period of not less than 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA.
1.2.6 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.
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.
d. The pilot is responsible for ensuring that he or she is familiar with all terrain and obstacles
surrounding the airport within the specified circling area of 3 NM and that the aircraft is man-
euvered for landing at a height sufficient to maintain the obstacle clearance specified for cir-
cling in TERMINAL — INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES — Circling
Approaches and Visual Circling (Note 2).
e. Airport lighting must comply with the requirements of AIRPORT AND GROUND AIDS — Air-
port Lighting as applicable. Recommended minimum lighting requirements for landing areas
are outlined in CAAP 92-1(0).
2.4.5.2 PRD, FIR NOTAM and area forecasts relating to the route are not automatically included
in the ad-hoc SPFIB and must be requested separately in the additional locations field. The data
in these fields is related to the planned flight level.
2.4.6 Briefing Filters.
2.4.6.1 The SPFIB tailors the briefing data as much as possible to that essential to the route.
Additionally data is filtered by use of time and planned flight level.
2.4.6.2 Time filter: NAIPS selects data by using the first EOBT and the time period specified by
the pilot (between 1 and 240 hours). Only current data or data becoming current during the speci-

2.4.6.3 Flight level filter: NAIPS selects data by using the planned level of the aircraft and only
providing both NOTAM and MET information relating to that flight level. CAUTION: A briefing
done for a high flight level will not include data relevant to a low level. This may present a problem
if the aircraft descends to a lower level without updating the briefing.

2.9.2 Pilots must be mindful of how significant points or turning points are processed. If a
common name is entered in lieu of an airport abbreviation or navigational aid/waypoint, the flight
notification output will assume the aircraft is tracking over a navigational aid/waypoint e.g., the
location WALGETT will translate to WLG, not YWLG.
2.9.3 The aircraft identification “NOSEND” has been allocated for training purposes. Flight notifi-
cations filed with this call sign will not be processed by briefing offices.
2.9.4 If submitting details by facsimile:
a. print firmly and clearly with a black pen using block letters, correct errors by crossing out and
writing correct data adjacent. Do not overwrite;
b. check for errors or omissions prior to transmitting;
c. do not use highlighting pens on the plan prior to transmitting;
d. it is recommended that a departure point, contact phone or facsimile number is recorded on
both sides of the plan in case of a wrong side up transmission;
e. ensure the plan is sent to the correct number, and wait for the “OK” transmission message;
f. phone the briefing office if confirmation of receipt is required.
g. Confirmation of receipt is required when a SARTIME has been submitted.
2.9.5 Stored Flight Files
2.9.5.1 Stored flight files are specific preflight briefings (SPFIB) or flight notifications regularly
used by operators and which have been stored by users in the NAIPS Internet Service or that the
briefing office has agreed to store in the computer database after consultation with the company
concerned. Such flight files enable quick and efficient activation by either the pilot through pilot
access, or the briefing officers direct to NAIPS.
2.9.5.2 A flight notification stored in such a way is appended by the abbreviation -FPL to distin-
guish it from the SPFIB which may have the same company identifier.
2.9.5.3 It is the responsibility of the originating organization to ensure the accuracy of informa-
tion contained in stored flight files.
2.9.6 Auto-Filed Flight Notifications
2.9.6.1 These are flight plans prepared by specialist flight planning organizations which some
airlines use to prepare and submit their plans to ATS units providing services to the flight.
2.9.7 Submission of Flight Notification with EOBT and DOF
2.9.7.1 Flight plans may be submitted up to 120 hours (5 days) in advance. All flight plans must
contain a date of flight (DOF), even if the flight is for the current day.
2.9.7.2 Flight Notifications submitted with an EOBT of more than 21 hours from the time of sub-
mission are stored and automatically distributed when the EOBT comes within 21 hours.

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-
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 838
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
cation is submitted by facsimile, the pilot or operator telephones the briefing office before depar-
ture to confirm that the facsimile has been received.
3.6 Abbreviated details for operations in controlled airspace may be advised by radio if the flight
is to operate locally, or operations will be for a brief duration. However, prior contact with ATC
may avoid delays. Pilots may submit details by radio to ATS when associated with a clearance
request, or to nominate a SARTIME.
3.7 When submitting flight notification by radio, pilots should be mindful of the need to minimize
frequency congestion and transmit only that information required by ATS for the current flight
stage. Acceptance is subject to ATS workload and may be delayed.
3.8 Submission of comprehensive travel flight notification by radio is not a preferred method of
notification and should not be used when submission by some other means is available. Flight
notification by radio for travel flights requiring the submission of comprehensive details will not be
accepted at controlled aerodromes.
3.9 Pilots of VFR flights wishing to operate in other than Classes C or D airspace, and who wish
to nominate a SARTIME, may submit details in the NAIPS SARTIME flight notification format (via
the internet). If submitting the flight notification by facsimile or via telephone, the only form availa-
ble is the Australian Domestic Flight Notification form.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 839
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
3.13 VFR flights operating on SARTIME are requested to include contact telephone details for
the pilot or company at the destination where available.
3.14 VFR flights may operate on reporting schedules in the following circumstances:
a. mercy flights;
b. flood, fire or famine relief flights;
c. search and rescue flights;
d. overwater flights; and
e. military flights.
3.15 When the pilot of a flight wishes to indicate a variation of SAR requirements, this must be
indicated in Item 8 – Flight Rules, amplified in Item 15 (Route) by the position at which the change
will occur, followed by the new flight rules.
3.16 Submission of flight details at least 30 minutes before EOBT is recommended.
3.17 Where notification of flight details, or changes to details, are submitted less than 30
minutes before EOBT, delays will be encountered when an ATC unit requires that the data be
programmed into the computerized SSR Code/Call Sign Management System.
3.18 The preferred method to cancel a SARTIME is via telephone to CENSAR on 1800 814 931.
When telephone facilities are not available you may use ATS frequencies.
3.19 SARTIMEs are managed on a national basis by the central SARTIME management data-
base, CENSAR.
3.20 The following table identifies flight notification options for the various classes and types of
operations when flying IFR or VFR.
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.
4.5 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 842
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
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
Network Coordination 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 Network Coordination Centre (NCC) on 1800 020 626. These Slots will
be allocated from the available pool.
7.3.4 Aircraft operators may swap their allocated COBT until 20 minutes prior to Calculated
Take Off Time. When a COBT has been swapped after receiving airways clearance, pilots must
advise ATC of amended COBT when calling for a start/pushback/taxi clearance.
7.3.5 All aircraft subject to a ground delay program must operate within the compliance window
for their allocated COBT. Pilots unable to operate within the compliance window should contact
their company or the Network Coordination 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.
7.3.6 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.
7.3.7 Unless instructed by ATC, pilots should maintain normal or specified climb, cruise and
descent profiles.
7.3.8 GDP Run Times. GDPs for the following day’s operations are normally run at the following
times:
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 NCC
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 NCC.
7.3.9.1 Where possible itinerant operators should contact the NCC prior to 0800 UTC to ensure
their flight is included in the GDP for the following day. The NCC can be contacted by email at
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 847
AUSTRALIA
FLIGHT PLANNING
fmu@airservicesaustralia.com or telephone 1800 020 626 H24. Operators who contact the NCC
after the running of GDPs will be allocated the first available COBT in the relevant GDP.
7.3.9.2 The following information is required for non-scheduled flights when contacting the NCC
and must be provided at least one hour prior to the proposed operation. Any changes to the infor-
mation provided must be notified to the NCC prior to departure:
(1) Aircraft callsign
(2) Aircraft type
(3) Departure aerodrome
(4) Destination aerodrome
(5) ETD
(6) ETA
7.3.9.3 Notification of flight details to the NCC is additional to all existing flight plan notification
requirements.
7.3.9.4 Where communication facilities exist, pilots of non-scheduled flights must either check
their COBT with the NCC within one hour of the flight, or be able to check their mobile phone/
email for any amendments.
7.3.9.5 Where no other suitable communication facilities exist, pilots may check the COBT on
the domestic HF frequency.
7.4.2.3 FF Accuracy Tolerance: Aircraft should endeavour to cross the FF at the specified time
or up to 30 seconds early.
7.4.2.4 When allocated a FF time, aircraft must depart the FF at the lesser of 250 kt or profile
speed, unless advised otherwise by ATC.
7.4.2.5 ATC will check to ensure inbound aircraft will meet the allocated FF time and may tacti-
cally intervene to ensure optimum sequencing.
SMC will initiate contact with the aircraft when able to process.
NOTE: Aircraft not participating in a GDP are not required to contact Sydney Coordinator prior to
requesting pushback, and should contact the relevant Ground Frequency on 121.7 MHz or 126.5
MHz as applicable.

1.2.3.8 A taxi instruction which contains a taxi limit beyond a runway must include a “CROSS
RUNWAY (number)” instruction to cross that runway. When an aircraft is required to hold short of
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 airport 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: When a direction of turn is not 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 airports at which parallel runway operations are in progress, pilots must iden-
tify 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. (See also paragraph 1.4.3 — Stop Bar
Contingency Procedures.)
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)”.

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Where reasonable to do so, ATC may issue a take-off clearance in anticipation that
the prescribed separation will exist at the time that the take-off roll is commenced.
1.4.6.2 Other than as specified in Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO), exceptions to this
application of separation standards are:
a. aircraft taking off in formation with respect to each other;
b. aircraft operating in different areas or lanes on airports with runways or facilities suitable for
simultaneous take-offs (CAR 168); and
c. the avoidance of wake turbulence.
1.8.2.3 The pilot of an IFR flight operating VFR climb/descent must maintain vigilance so as to
see and avoid other aircraft. Additionally, the pilot accepts the responsibility for wake turbulence
separation.
1.8.3 ATC Procedures
1.8.3.1 On receiving a request for VFR climb/descent, ATC may instruct the pilot to “Climb/
Descent VFR” for a specified portion of the flight.
1.8.3.2 When the pilot is cleared to “Climb/Descend VFR”, ATC will provide:
a. mutual traffic information service on IFR flights;
b. traffic information service on known VFR flights as far as practicable; and
c. a flight information service.
NOTE: IFR separation is not provided.
ATC will not clear an aircraft to “Maintain VFR-on-top” at night to separate holding aircraft from
each other or from enroute aircraft unless restrictions are applied to ensure the appropriate IFR
vertical separation.
1.9.2.2 When operating with an ATC clearance to “Maintain VFR-on-top”, pilots on IFR flight
plans must:
a. fly at the appropriate VFR levels as prescribed in Tables of Cruising Levels.
b. comply with the VFR visibility and distance from cloud criteria stipulated in Visual Meteoro-
logical Conditions (VMC).
c. comply with instrument flight rules that are applicable to the flight; ie, minimum IFR altitudes,
position reporting, radio communications, cleared route, adherence to ATC clearance, etc;
and
d. advise ATC prior to any altitude change to ensure the exchange of accurate traffic informa-
tion.
1.9.2.3 The pilot of an aircraft operating VFR-on-top must maintain vigilance so as to see and
avoid other aircraft. Additionally, the pilot accepts the responsibility for wake turbulence separa-
tion.
1.9.3 ATC Procedures
1.9.3.1 On receiving a request for VFR-on-top, ATC may instruct the pilot to climb to “VFR-on-
top”. This instruction will include:
a. if required, a clearance limit, routing, and an alternative clearance if VFR-on-top is not
reached by a specified altitude;
b. the requirement to report reaching VFR-on-top; and
c. the reported height of the tops or that no tops reports are available.
1.9.3.2 When the pilot reports reaching VFR-on-top, ATC re-clears the aircraft to “Maintain VFR-
on-top” and will provide:
a. mutual traffic information service on IFR flights;
b. traffic information service on known VFR flights as far as practicable; and
c. a flight information service.
NOTE: IFR separation is not provided.
1.9.3.3 ATC will not clear an aircraft to “Maintain VFR-on-top” at night to separate holding air-
craft from each other or from enroute aircraft unless restrictions are applied to ensure the appro-
priate IFR vertical separation.
1.10.3.3 If landing at an airport where ATIS is provided, the pilot should obtain the ATIS before
first contact on the ATC frequency. On first contact advise ATIS received.
1.10.3.4 In establishing two-way communications, ATC may issue a specific instructions that
differ from altitude and intentions advised by the pilot. The pilot-in-command must comply with
any such instructions issued by ATC.
1.10.3.5 The pilot-in-command must not deviate from the track, level and intentions stated
during the establishment of two-way communications or the instructions issued by ATC (if these
instructions modify the stated track, level and intentions), unless authorized by ATC.
1.10.3.6 Unless ATC specifically instructs otherwise, establishment of two-way communications
permits a pilot, intending to land at an airport within Class D airspace, to descend as necessary to
join the airport traffic circuit.
1.10.4 Cancelling IFR Class D Airport Arrivals
1.10.4.1 To expedite arrival at a Class D airport, the pilot of an IFR flight may elect to cancel IFR
(provided the weather conditions permit VFR), and conduct the approach under VFR.
1.10.4.2 Pilot's must advise this intention by using the phrase “CANCEL IFR.”
1.10.5 Flights Entering a Controlled Airspace from Class G Airspace
1.10.5.1 When communications facilities exist and the controlled airspace and the non-control-
led airport are in close proximity, a clearance should be obtained direct on the ATC frequency.
When this is not possible, clearances should be requested through the ATS unit providing serv-
ices in Class “G” airspace.
1.10.5.2 Aircraft cleared for a visual approach or instrument approach procedure will not be
assigned a level restriction.
1.10.6 Instrument Approach
1.10.6.1 ATC Authorization — Unless authorized to make a visual approach, an IFR flight must
conform to the published instrument approach procedure nominated by ATC.
1.10.6.2 A pilot request to conduct a specific approach should be made prior to STAR clearance
issue, or prior to top of descent for arriving aircraft not on a STAR eligible route.
1.10.6.3 Authorization for final approach will be in the form of a clearance for the type of
approach as shown on the approach chart title. If visual at the minima, the nominated runway
then becomes the clearance limit subject to any further ATC instructions and a clearance to land.
In the event that the aircraft is unable to land from the instrument approach or loses visual refer-
ence while circling, the aircraft is cleared to carry out the published missed approach unless ATC
directs otherwise. The pilot in command must seek further ATC instructions prior to reaching the
end of the missed approach procedure.
1.10.6.4 Where an instrument approach results in the aircraft leaving controlled airspace, the
clearance for the approach also provides clearance for the aircraft to re-enter overlying controlled
airspace or restricted area in the event of a missed approach. ATC should be advised as soon as
possible on the missed approach.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 886

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
1.10.6.5 The full chart title of the instrument approach procedure, as described at the top of the
relevant chart, must be used in all clearances, coordination and read-backs relating to the proce-
dure, including entry procedures. However, with the exception of circling approaches, the suffix
may be omitted if there is no possibility of confusion. Where multiple approaches procedures are
on the same chart, only the approach procedure being conducted shall be referred to.
1.10.6.6 Aircraft may be instructed to track via an instrument approach procedure and a level
restriction assigned, if the aircraft is:
a. in VMC conducting instrument approach training; or
b. a military aircraft:
1. conducting a non-precision approach; or
2. conducting a precision approach provided that clearance for the approach is issued in
sufficient time for the aircraft to maintain the required descent rate in accordance with
the published procedure.
1.10.7 Visual Approach
1.10.7.1 ATC Authorization — Except as detailed in the next paragraph, the criteria under
which visual approaches may be authorized by ATC are as follows:
a. For an IFR flight:
1. By day when:
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport; and
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the airport with continuous visual
reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m, or for helicopters 800m, or the
airport is in sight.
2. By night when:
– the pilot has established and can continue flight to the airport with continuous visual
reference to the ground or water; and
– visibility along the flight path is not less than 5000m; and
– the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport; or
– if being vectored, the flight has been assigned the minimum vector altitude (MVA)
and given heading or tracking instructions to intercept final or to position the aircraft
within the circling area of the airport.
b. For a VFR flight by day and night, the aircraft is within 30 NM of the airport.
1.10.7.2 In addition to the requirements of the previous paragraph, with the exception of Austral-
ian and New Zealand operators and aircraft conducting independent visual approaches at
Sydney, Super or Heavy jet aircraft will only be assigned a visual approach when:
a. specifically requested by the pilot, and the pilot has reported the landing runway in sight; or

1.10.7.7 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.

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

1.12 LANDING
1.12.1 Provision of Operational Information
1.12.1.1 ATC will supply the following information for landing operations:
a. runway or direction;
b. wind direction and speed, QNH and, if required, temperature and/or dew point;
c. known significant weather information, including low cloud and visibility or runway visual
range;
d. a time check (to the nearest half minute), whenever a time to commence final is specified by
ATC;
e. the crosswind component on the runway to be used, if this equals or exceeds 8 kt for single-
engine aircraft or 12 kt for multi-engine aircraft;
f. the tailwind component;
g. airport 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.

– is beyond the point on the runway at which the landing aircraft could be expected to
complete its landing roll and there is sufficient distance to maneuver safely in the
event of a missed approach;
2. is at least 1000m from the runway threshold, and
– has commenced the take-off run, and
– in the opinion of the controller, no collision risk exists, and
– the aircraft taking off has a MTOW of 7000kg or less, and
– the landing aircraft is performance category A and has a MTOW below 3000kg.
b. a preceding landing aircraft using the same runway:
1. has vacated it and is taxiing away from the runway; or
2. has landed and has passed a point at least 1000M from the threshold of the runway and
will vacate the runway without backtracking, and
– in the opinion of the tower controller, no collision risk exists, and
– the preceding landing aircraft has a MTOW of 7000kg or less, and
– the following landing aircraft is performance category A and has a MTOW below
3000kg; or
3. has landed and has passed a point at least 600M from the threshold of the runway, is in
motion and will vacate the runway without backtracking; and
– the preceding landing aircraft has a MTOW of less than 7000kg, and
– the following landing aircraft has a MTOW of 2000kg or less, or
4. in the case where the following landing aircraft is a helicopter, the preceding landing air-
craft is at least 300m down the runway from the threshold and ATC is satisfied no colli-
sion risk exists.
c. a preceding aircraft, using a different runway, has crossed or stopped short of the landing
aircraft’s runway.
In the above situations, a landing clearance may be issued if ATC expect that the required runway
separation standard will exist.
1.12.6.3 Other than as specified in Conditions for LAHSO, exceptions to separation minima are:
a. aircraft landing in formation with respect to each other; and
b. aircraft operating in different areas or lanes on airports with runways or facilities suitable for
simultaneous landings.
1.13.1.2 In sequencing aircraft ATC will indicate the position of the preceding aircraft by refer-
ence to a leg of the circuit or as a clock bearing, and describe it either as a specific type or in
general terms (e.g., Cessna or Twin).
1.13.1.3 ATC may issue a sequence number. Sequence numbers specify the landing sequence
position of an aircraft with respect to any preceding traffic.
1.13.1.4 When issued with a sequencing instruction, a pilot must follow the preceding aircraft
and continue to do so unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
1.13.1.5 The instruction FOLLOW requires the pilot to sight the preceding aircraft, and regulate
circuit speed and approach path to achieve longitudinal separation. If the preceding aircraft
cannot be sighted and identified, the pilot must advise ATC.
1.13.2 Non-Standard Circuit Operations
1.13.2.1 Pilots must advise ATC of non-standard circuit operations, e.g., glide and flapless cir-
cuits, normally with the DOWNWIND report. This advice will also alert other circuit traffic. ATC
must also be advised of single-engined aircraft conducting simulated engine failures at the earli-
est opportunity.
1.13.2.2 Where appropriate, an ATC sequencing instruction will indicate that there are no traffic
restrictions precluding the maneuver. Subject to traffic, ATC may deny, or apply parameters to
such operations for traffic management purposes.
1.13.3 Parallel Runway Operations at Class D Airports
Where a Class D airport is equipped with parallel runways, ATC may sequence aircraft for simul-
taneous contra-circuits and may conduct these operations using separate Tower frequencies for
each runway. Operations will be regulated independently in each circuit, with an ATC clearance
required to enter the opposite circuit or airspace.
1.15.9 Radio watch must be maintained on the SMC or tower frequency (where no SMC fre-
quency is provided) until parked.
5.2.3 Abbreviated mutual traffic information, including relative position (ahead, behind or adja-
cent), will be provided when aircraft are within 1 NM of each other.
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.
a. ILS/GLS;
b. radar; or
c. visual.
b. for flights other than RPT, a SARTIME for departure has been established with a maximum
of 30 minutes from EOBT.
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A). Refer
also to CAAP 166-2(1) – 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 ATC — COMMUNICATIONS — Summary of Report and Broadcast Requirements
and CAAP 166-01).
NOTE: Pilots are reminded of their obligations to see and avoid other aircraft (CAR 163A). Refer
also to CAAP 166-2(1) Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoidance in the vicinity of non-controlled
airports using ‘see-and-avoid’.
6.1.4.1 Only pilots of radio equipped aircraft, and who are qualified to use the radio, may oper-
ate at, or in the vicinity of, an airport where radio carriage is required. (Refer to ATC — COMMU-
NICATIONS — Summary of Report and Broadcast Requirements and CAAP 166-01).
6.1.4.2 Pilots of aircraft transiting in the vicinity of a non-controlled airport should monitor the
designated CTAF while within 10 NM of the airport. Pilots should respond to other traffic broad-
casts 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.
6.1.4.3 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.
6.2.1.2 Left-hand circuits is the standard traffic circuit that must normally be made. Right-hand
circuit requirements are listed on Terminal Airport charts or in the Airport Directory.
6.2.1.3 Aircraft should not be operated in the circuit at an indicated airspeed of more than 200
kts.
6.2.1.4 During the initial climb-out the turn onto crosswind should be made appropriate to the
performance of the aircraft, but in any case not less than 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 902

DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
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
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 166–01.
the circuit area and no traffic conflict exists. This will normally be at least 3 NM from the departure
end of the runway. The distance may be less for aircraft with high climb performance. The dis-
tance should be based on pilots being aware of traffic and the ability of the aircraft to climb above
and clear of the circuit area.
NOTE: Pilots of departing aircraft should be aware of traffic intending to join the circuit by the rec-
ommended overfly procedure, as they can be 2000 ft or higher above airport elevation.
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:
Non-surveillance Surveillance
Departure time Current position
Outbound track in degrees magnetic Present level
Intended cruising level Intended cruising level
Estimate for the first enroute reporting point Estimate for the first enroute reporting point
formance and pilot workload with an ETA for the airport (unless otherwise specified in Airport
Directory).
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 airport 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 airport traffic pattern to optimize
their visual scan for traffic along the final approach path.
c. The aircraft’s transponder should be squawking and its external lights, where fitted, should
be illuminated when on final approach. They should remain on until the aircraft has landed
and is clear of all runways.
d. An aircraft established on base leg or final approach for any runway has priority over an air-
craft carrying out a straight-in approach.
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.

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 166-01: ‘Pilots’ responsibility for collision avoidance
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.
6.11 SARWATCH
6.11.1 Cancellation of SARWATCH other than SARTIME
6.11.1.1 Pilots wishing to cancel SARWATCH may do so by reporting to ATS.
6.11.1.2 When cancelling SARWATCH, pilots must include:
a. the aircraft radio call sign;
b. place of arrival or point from which SARWATCH services are no longer required;
c. the words “CANCEL SARWATCH”; and
d. when communicating with a unit other than that nominated, the name of the ATS unit to
which the report shall be relayed.
6.11.1.3 SARWATCH may be cancelled in combination with a pilot report of changing to the
CTAF, or in the circuit area, or after landing.
6.11.1.4 When the pilot of an IFR flight elects not to report in the circuit area to cancel SAR-
WATCH and has not reported within 10 minutes of ETA, ATS will commence communications
checks to obtain a landing report or an extension of SARWATCH.
6.11.1.5 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARWATCH” reports with a read-back of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARWATCH TERMINATED”.
6.11.2 Cancellation of SARTIME
6.11.2.1 When operating on a SARTIME, the pilot must cancel SARTIME by the time nominated
and, during the contact with ATS, include the words “CANCEL SARTIME”.
6.11.2.2 ATS will acknowledge “CANCEL SARTIME” reports with a readback of the place of
arrival, if appropriate, and the words “SARTIME CANCELLED”.
6.11.2.3 The preferred method to cancel a SARTIME is via telephone to CENSAR on 1800 814
931. When telephone facilities are not available you may use ATS frequencies.
6.11.2.4 For SARTIME flights, pilots of single VHF radio-equipped aircraft must cancel SAR-
TIME before changing to the CTAF, or after landing.

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, 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 airports, subject
to a Letter of Agreement; and
e. pilots of foreign military aircraft subject to a Letter of Agreement between the relevant military
authority and the civil ATS provider.
(The Letter of Agreement will exclude foreign military aircraft of performance category D operating
at civil airports).
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 914
AUSTRALIA
DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES
flight number callsign 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.
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.
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.
7.10.2 ATC may sequence non-jet Category B aircraft below 5700kg MTOW for LAHSO using
the landing distance tables. ATC may sequence an aircraft for LAHSO regardless of category of
aircraft where the pilot in command has advised “LAHSO APPROVED”. The pilot alone is respon-
sible for ensuring that the LDA is equal to, or better than, that required for the prevailing circum-
stances.
7.10.3 Pilots should check the airport entry or ask ATC for landing distance available, and
assess their landing distance requirements based on the landing weight and ambient weather
conditions. The pilot must ensure that the LDA for LAHSO value for the runway meets or exceeds
the relevant landing distance required, as calculated in accordance with section 11 of CAO
20.7.1B.
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 919
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
When ATC issues a level clearance to an aircraft, any level restriction issued with an earlier clear-
ance is automatically cancelled. ATC will issue (or re-issue) any required level restrictions 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 published on STAR and SID
charts unless ATC explicitly cancels the restrictions.
Whenever a restriction has been imposed and, subsequently, a further restriction is imposed, the
subsequent instruction will cancel all previous restrictions unless:
a. all restrictions are restated; or
b. the subsequent instruction is prefixed “FURTHER RESTRICTION”.
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. cleared level;
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, not appropriate, or where air-
craft 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.
c. the aircraft or vehicle causing the condition is the first to pass in front of the other traffic. (See
ATC — COMMUNICATIONS — Conditional Clearances.)
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.

2.5.5 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
issued), STAR (if issued) and transponder code, as shown on a PDC. In addition, readback any
other requirements contained in the PDC message and state current parking position/bay. The
PDC readback must be made on ACD frequency or on SMC frequency if ACD is not established,

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.
3.6.2 For routes and route segments not charted, the lowest safe altitude must not be less than
that calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.6.3 within an area defined in the following para-
graphs 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.6.8 and 3.6.9.
3.6.3 Unreported obstacles up to 360 ft may exist in navigation tolerance areas. The LSALT
must be calculated using the following method:
a. where the highest obstacle is more than 360 ft above the height determined for terrain, the
LSALT must be 1000 ft above the highest obstacle; or
b. where the highest charted obstacle is less than 360 ft above the terrain, or there is no char-
ted obstacle, the LSALT must be 1360 ft above the elevation determined for terrain; except
that
c. where the elevation of the highest terrain or obstacle in the tolerance area is not above 500
ft, the LSALT must not be less than 1500 ft.
3.6.4 An aircraft must not be flown under the IFR lower than the published lowest safe altitude
or the lowest safe altitude calculated in accordance with this section, 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).
3.6.5 If the navigation of the aircraft is inaccurate, or the aircraft is deliberately flown off track, or
where there is a failure of any radio navigation aid normally available, the area to be considered is
a circle centered on the DR position, with a radius of 5 NM plus 20% of the air distance flown from
the last positive fix.
3.6.6 For Routes Defined by Radio Navigation Aids or to be Navigated by DR: The area to
be considered must be within an area of 5 NM surrounding and including an area defined by lines
drawn from the departure point or enroute radio aid, 10.3° each side of the nominal track (where
track guidance is provided by a radio navigation aid), or 15° each side of the nominal track (where
no track guidance is provided) to a limit of 50 NM each side of track, thence paralleling track to
abeam the destination and then converging by a semi-circle of 50 NM radius centered on the des-
tination. On shorter routes, where these lines are displaced by less than 50 NM abeam the desti-
nation, they shall converge by a radius based on that lesser distance. Where the lines thus drawn
come at any time within the coverage of an enroute or destination radio aid the aircraft is equip-
ped to use, they will converge by straight lines to that aid. The minimum angle of convergence
which shall be used in this case is 10.3° each side of track.
3.6.7 For Routes Operated Under the RNP 2 Navigation Specification: The area to be con-
sidered must be within an area of 5 NM surrounding and including the departure point, the desti-
nation and each side of the nominal track.
3.6.8 For Other Area Navigation Operations: The area to be considered must be within an
area of 5 NM surrounding and including an area defined by lines drawn from the departure point
not less than 15° each side of the nominal track to a maximum of:
a. 8 NM for flights under the RNP 4 navigation specification;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 929
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
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.
5.1.2 RVSM Operations
5.1.2.1 Aircraft transiting from adjacent FIRs into Australian FIRs between FL290 and FL410
inclusive must plan from the way-point on the FIR boundary using the Table of Cruising Levels at
paragraph 3.2.1.
5.1.2.2 Aircraft transiting from Australian FIRs between FL290 and FL410 inclusive to adjacent
FIRs must plan until the waypoint on the FIR boundary using the Table of Cruising Levels at para-
graph 3.2.1.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 931
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
5.1.2.3 Aircraft that will cross latitude 80° South between FL290 and FL410 inclusive must plan
using the Table of Cruising Levels for operations north of 80° South, and the Table of Cruising
Levels for operations south of 80° South.
5.1.2.4 To have RVSM applied to their aircraft, operators must be approved by the State of Reg-
istry or State of the Operator.
5.1.2.5 Approved operators must ensure that height-keeping monitoring is undertaken at least
every two years or within intervals of 1,000 flight hours per aircraft, whichever period is longer, in
accordance with the aircraft categories as presented in the current version of the ICAO RVSM
Minimum Monitoring Requirements table. The table and further information on monitoring can be
obtained from the Australian Airspace Monitoring Agency (AAMA) at http://www.airservicesaustra-
lia.com/organisations/aama/.
5.1.2.6 Pilots of aircraft that are not RVSM-approved may plan within the RVSM flight level band
(FL290 to FL410 inclusive). However, clearance at RVSM levels is subject to disposition of traffic
and RVSM aircraft priority. The conventional vertical separation minimum will be applied between
aircraft that are not RVSM-approved and all other aircraft.
5.1.2.7 Pilots of non RVSM-approved State aircraft will be afforded equal priority with RVSM-
approved aircraft. Pilots planning to operate non-RVSM within the RVSM level band must flight
plan in accordance with the section on FLIGHT PLANNING.
5.1.2.8 Pilots of aircraft that are not RVSM-approved must report “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.3 Operational Procedures Before Entering the RVSM Flight Level Band —
RVSM Approved Aircraft
5.1.3.1 On each flight before entering the RVSM flight level band, pilots of RVSM-approved air-
craft must check to ensure that all of the following minimum mandatory equipment is operating
normally:
a. two independent primary altimetry systems,
b. a Mode C-capable SSR transponder,
c. an altitude alert system, and
d. an autopilot with height lock.
5.1.3.2 If any item of the minimum mandatory equipment listed in the previous paragraph is not
operating normally, a pilot must notify ATC before entering the RVSM flight level band using the
phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM”.
5.1.4 Operational Procedures After Entering the RVSM Flight Level Band —
RVSM Approved Aircraft
5.1.4.1 During changes of level, an aircraft must not overshoot or undershoot its Cleared Flight
Level (CFL) by more than 150 ft (45m).
5.1.4.2 Failure of One Primary Altimetry System. If one of the primary altimetry systems fails,
but the remaining altimetry system is functioning normally, the pilot must:
a. couple that system to the autopilot with height lock;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 932
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
d. Alert nearby aircraft by turning on all exterior lights and, if not in VHF contact with ATC,
broadcast advice of failure, position, flight level, and intentions on 121.5 MHz.
e. Notify ATC of the failure using the phraseology “NEGATIVE RVSM” and the intended course
of action.
5.1.4.9 In Oceanic Class A Airspace. Possible courses of action for the pilot following a failure
of the autopilot with height lock in oceanic Class A airspace include the following:
a. Provided that the aircraft can maintain CFL, continue at that level.
b. If the aircraft cannot maintain CFL and is unable to obtain a revised ATC clearance, leave
the assigned route or track by turning 90 degrees right or left, whenever this is possible,
taking account of adjacent routes.
5.1.5 ATC Responsibilities
5.1.5.1 ATC will apply alternative separation to any aircraft that has reported “NEGATIVE
RVSM” in accordance with requirements specified in this Section.
5.1.6 Weather and Wake Turbulence, and System Alerts
5.1.6.1 The pilot of an aircraft operating within the RVSM flight level band that encounters
weather turbulence that affects aircraft capability to maintain CFL, or wake turbulence, or experi-
ences distracting aircraft system alerts, must notify ATC and request a revised clearance before
deviating from track or CFL.
5.1.6.2 Oceanic Control Area Only. If a revised clearance is not possible or practicable, the
pilot of an aircraft operating in an oceanic control area may initiate the following temporary lateral
offset procedure with the intention of returning to the cleared route as soon as possible:
a. If possible, establish contact with other aircraft on the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency
123.45 MHz.
b. Initiate a lateral offset (one or both aircraft may initiate) not to exceed 2 NM from the cleared
route or track, provided that:
1. as soon as practicable, the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC that temporary
lateral offset action has been taken and the reason for doing so; and
2. the pilot(s) of the offsetting aircraft notify ATC when the aircraft is re-established on the
assigned route(s) or track(s).
5.1.7 Flight Level Deviation Reporting
5.1.7.1 For operations in the Australian FIR, flight crews must report all flight level deviations of
300 ft or more from the aircraft’s assigned level, irrespective of the cause of the deviation.
5.1.7.2 In reporting, crews must provide the information in the format detailed below. Reports
must be submitted as soon as possible after the occurrence and in writing to:

7000kg maximum take-off weight;
d. LIGHT (L) – Aircraft types of 7000kg maximum take-off weight or less.
NOTE: B757, H47 (Chinook) and H53 (Stallion) are categorized Heavy (H) when the following air-
craft is categorized either Medium (M) or Light (L) and categorized Medium (M) when the preced-
ing aircraft is categorized Heavy (H).
5.2.2 Application of Standards
5.2.2.1 In controlled airspace, unless the pilot has accepted responsibility for separation, ATC
will apply wake turbulence separation to:
a. aircraft in the approach and departure phases of flight when both aircraft are using parallel
runways separated by less than 760m; or
b. when an aircraft is operating directly behind another aircraft at the same level or less than
1000 ft below.
NOTE: Directly behind means an aircraft is operating within 760m laterally of the track of the lead-
ing aircraft.
5.2.2.2 ATC applies the following time based wake turbulence separation minima between the
relevant categories of aircraft:
5.2.2.3 ATC applies the following distance wake turbulence separation minima between the rel-
evant categories of aircraft:
5.2.2.4 Where the required separation can be determined by distance using an aircraft report or
ATS Surveillance System, ATC need not apply the time standard to an affected:
a. arriving aircraft;
b. departing aircraft unless it is departing from an intermediate point as described in Time Sep-
aration Minima.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 937
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
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 approach, departures, director or the airport control
tower.
5.2.3 Pilot Waivers
5.2.3.1 Pilots may, in VMC by day only, advise ATC that they wish the application of the depar-
ture standards to be waived. When a pilot so advises, this indicates to ATC that the pilot accepts
total responsibility for providing his/her own wake turbulence separation. Waiving of these separa-
tion standards is not permitted when the aircraft concerned will follow a Heavy or Super aircraft.
ATC is not permitted to ask pilots to accept waivers.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 938
AUSTRALIA
CLIMB AND CRUISE
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.
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 on METEOROLOGY — Meteorology Reports and
Advisories — 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 IFR aircraft operating area-type flights and nominating schedules reporting times may limit
the report to level and the present position or the sector of the survey area in which the aircraft is
currently operating.
9.5 For operations in Australian domestic airspace, Section 1 of the report may be abbreviated
by omitting the words “OVER”, “FEET” and “NEXT POSITION”.
9.6 Aircraft operating area-type flights and nominating scheduled reporting times may limit the
report to “level” and the “present position” or the sector of the survey area in which the aircraft is
currently operating.
9.7 Pilots must give ATS notice of an impending position report by use of the word “POSITION”;
e.g., “MELBOURNE CENTER (call sign) POSITION”. Pilots must wait for the ATS instruction
before reporting position.
9.8 Pilots must report maintaining an assigned level, unless ATC has advised IDENTIFIED. An
IFR flight operating VFR-on-top or requesting IFR Pick-up must advise level maintaining.
9.9 After any frequency change, pilots must advise the last assigned level and, if not maintaining
the assigned level, the level maintaining or last vacated level; 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.
9.10 Pilots should normally report estimated time of arrival at the place of intended landing when
at the last position report.

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.

MENTS
Regular Public Classes A, C, D, E & G VHF and HF or See paragraphs 1.1.2, 1.1.3,
Transport two VHF 1.1.4, 1.1.6 and 1.1.7
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.
1.1.5 An Australian Communications and Media Authority approved and licensed hand-held
VHF radio may be used by pilots of:
a. VFR private and airwork aircraft with a MTOW not exceeding:

COMMUNICATIONS
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 sustained TAS or Mach number between reporting points
varies, or is expected to vary, by a value equal to or more than:
a. 10 kt TAS; or
b. 0.02 MACH;
from that given in the flight plan or previously notified to ATS.
1.2.1.7 When entering oceanic controlled airspace from outside Australian administered air-
space, pilots must report the current sustained TAS or Mach number to ATS.
NOTE: A specific report via CPDLC may be used to meet this requirement.
1.2.1.8 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.
1.2.1.9 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.
1.2.1.10 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.
1.2.1.11 Unless otherwise authorized, gliding operations in controlled airspace (including Class
E) must be conducted using the appropriate ATC frequency.
1.2.1.12 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.
Except where the use of a gliding frequency is operationally necessary, it is recommended that
gliders operating above 5000 ft in Class G airspace monitor the Area VHF.

1.2.1.14 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.
1.2.1.15 The standard broadcast format is;
a. {Location} Traffic
b. {Aircraft type}
c. {Callsign}
d. {Position/intentions}
e. {Location}
1.2.1.16 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.
1.2.1.16.1 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)).
1.2.1.16.2 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.

AUSTRALIA
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. See ATC — COMMUNICATIONS — Limited Radio and No-Radio Procedures, paragraph
1.2.3.5 and CAAP 166-01.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 950
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS
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.
Gliders may operate above FL200 only in accordance with an authorization issued by CASA. 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 166-01 Appendix 1, or
the graphic Recommended Circuit Join in ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LAND-
ING PROCEDURES).
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.

3. Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to airborne collision avoid-
ance systems or traffic displays (if equipped);
4. Turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
5. Maintain the last assigned speed and level for a period of 60 minutes following the air-
craft’s failure to report its position over a compulsory reporting point (including ADS-C
flights), and thereafter adjust speed and altitude in accordance with the filed flight plan;
NOTE: In OCA, aircraft experiencing communication failure may also initiate strategic
lateral offset procedures (SLOP) in accordance with ATC, General Flight Procedures,
including an offset of up to 2 NM right of track.
6. Upon exiting OCA, conform to the relevant State procedures and regulations.
1.2.3.9 In the event of lost communication, ATC shall maintain separation between the aircraft
having the communication failure and other aircraft, based on the assumption that the aircraft
having the communication failure will operate in accordance with the procedures in the previous

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 952
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS
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.
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.
This information will be provided by means of an Automatic Aerodrome Information Service
(AAIS) broadcast on a discrete frequency (similar to ATIS) during OPR HR of CA/GRS or on
request to the CA/GRS operator. Pilots should monitor the published AAIS frequency before
making the taxiing or inbound broadcast, and indicate that the AAIS information has been
received when making the inbound or taxiing broadcast.
d. Other operational information of a local nature, relevant to the safety of operations at the aer-
odrome.
2.2.8 The CA/GRS will provide emergency services call-out if requested by the pilot in an emer-
gency or, if in the opinion of the operator, a call-out is warranted.
2.2.9 The weather information provided by the service is derived from approved measuring
equipment, which meets BoM aeronautical precision standards. QNH provided by a CA/GRS or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 954

COMMUNICATIONS
AAIS may be used to reduce landing, circling and alternate minima in accordance with the QNH
Sources paragraph in the Terminal section.
2.2.10 The CA/GRS operator may act as a representative of an air operator (where formal
agreement with the operator has been established) for the purposes of holding SARWATCH.
2.3 UNICOM
2.3.1 UNICOM (Universal Communications) is a non-ATS communications service provided to
enhance the value of information normally available about a non-controlled airport.
2.3.2 The primary function of the frequency used for UNICOM services where the UNICOM is
the CTAF is to provide pilots with the means to make standard positional broadcasts when oper-
ating in the vicinity of an aerodrome. Participation in UNICOM services must not inhibit the trans-
mission of standard positional broadcasts.
2.3.3 Participation in UNICOM services relates to the exchange of messages concerning:
a. fuel requirements;
b. estimated times of arrival and departure;
c. aerodrome information;
d. maintenance and servicing of aircraft including the ordering of parts and materials urgently
required;
e. passenger requirements;
f. unscheduled landings to be made by aircraft;
g. general weather reports; and
h. basic information on traffic.
2.3.4 This information is available to all aircraft during the times that the UNICOM is operating.
2.3.5 Weather reports, other than simple factual statements about the weather, may not be pro-
vided by UNICOM operators unless they are properly authorized to make weather observations
under CAR 120 (not published herein).
2.3.6 The UNICOM operator is solely responsible for the accuracy of any information passed to
an aircraft, while the use of information obtained from a UNICOM is at the discretion of the pilot-
in-command.
2.3.7 Stations providing a UNICOM service are required to be licensed by the Australian Com-
munications 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).
Unit (AFRU) may be installed. An AFRU will provide an automatic response when pilots transmit
on the CTAF for the airport at which it is installed.
2.4.2 The features of the AFRU are as follows:
a. When the aerodrome traffic frequency has not been used for the past five (5) minutes, the
next transmission over two (2) seconds long will cause a voice identification to be transmit-
ted in response; e.g., “GOULBURN CTAF”.
b. When the aerodrome traffic frequency has been used within the previous five (5) minutes, a
300 millisecond tone will be generated after each transmission over two (2) seconds long.
2.4.3 A series of three (3) microphone clicks within a period of five (5) seconds will also cause
the AFRU to transmit a voice identification for the particular aerodrome.
2.4.4 In the event that the transmitter in the AFRU becomes jammed for a period greater than
one minute, the unit will automatically shut down.
2.4.5 The operation of the AFRU provides additional safety enhancements by confirming the
operation of the aircraft’s transmitter and receiver, the volume setting, and that the pilot has selec-
ted the correct frequency for use at that aerodrome.
b. SATCOM (Inmarsat).

5.3.13 If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a CPDLC message, clarification must be sought
by voice.
5.3.14 A clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate CPDLC response, not a
read-back as would be required if the clearance had been delivered by voice.
5.3.15 The downlink response WILCO indicates that the flight crew has accepted the full terms
of the entire uplink message including any clearance or instruction.
5.3.16 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.
5.3.17 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.
5.3.18 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.
b. aircraft departing from airports either within Australia (YBBB or YMMM FIR) or the AGGG
and ANAU FIRs should not log on earlier than 45 minutes prior to the flight planned EOBT,
and
c. aircraft inbound to the YBBB, YMMM, AGGG or ANAU FIRs should not logon:
1. prior to departure; or
2. earlier than 45 minutes prior to the FIR boundary estimate.
5.4.4 Aircraft departing from airports either within Australia (YBBB or YMMM FIR) or the AGGG
and ANAU FIRs, requesting data link services, should logon as described below:
a. On the ground using the logon address for the FIR that the departure airport is located
within; or
b. Airborne at any time after passing 10,000 ft, using the logon address for the FIR in which the
aircraft is currently operating, with the following exceptions:
1. Aircraft approaching an FIR boundary should logon to the next ATS unit, rather than the
current ATS unit; and
2. Airborne aircraft departing Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond should logon in accordance
with the following table:
NOTE: The above table applies to logons from airborne aircraft only. Flight crews who logon while
on the ground at Sydney/Bankstown/Richmond must logon to YMMM.
5.4.5 When instructed to logon by voice, the flight crew must read back the logon code.
5.4.6 Unless otherwise instructed, aircraft remaining wholly within East coast SSR Coverage are
not required to logon for data link services.
5.4.7 Flight crews of operators participating in PDC at Australian airports, must not initiate a
logon until after the PDC has been received.
5.4.8 Aircraft requesting data link services on entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs
from a non-data link FIR should logon to the ATS appropriate unit between 15 and 45 minutes
prior to crossing the FIR boundary. CPDLC and ADS-C connections will be established automati-
cally by the ATS unit concerned.
5.4.9 For aircraft entering the AGGG, ANAU, YBBB or YMMM FIRs from a data link FIR, the
CPDLC connection will be either transferred automatically by the Address Forwarding process, or
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 964

the transferring ATS unit will instruct the flight crew to logon manually at an appropriate time / dis-
tance prior to the FIR boundary.
5.4.10 Aircraft transiting between YBBB and YMMM FIRs will be automatically Address Forwar-
ded to the appropriate ATS unit. Aircraft departing Australian airspace (or the AGGG and ANAU
FIRs) and directly entering an adjoining data link FIR can expect to be Address Forwarded to the
appropriate ATS unit prior to the FIR boundary.
5.7.2 If an aircraft is off track, but proceeding directly to a subsequent waypoint, the BACK ON
ROUTE message must not be downlinked until after the aircraft has sequenced that waypoint.
NOTE: Downlinking BACK ON ROUTE before the aircraft is actually established on the cleared
route may result in ATC applying incorrect separation tolerances to the aircraft.
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.
d. any clearances, conditional clearances or instructions to hold short of, enter, land on, condi-
tional line-up on, wait, take off from, cross, taxi or backtrack on, any runway or HLS;
e. any approach clearance;
f. assigned runway, HLS;
g. altimeter settings directed to specific aircraft, radio and radio navigation aid frequency
instructions;
NOTE: An “expectation” of the runway to be used is not to be read back.
h. SSR codes, data link logon addresses;
i. level instructions, direction of turn, heading and speed instructions.
6.3.2 The controller will listen to the read-back to ascertain that the clearance or instruction has
been correctly acknowledged and will take immediate action to correct any discrepancies
revealed by the read-back.
6.3.3 Reported level figures of an aircraft must be preceded by the words “FLIGHT LEVEL”
when related to standard pressure, and may be followed by the word “FEET” when related to
QNH.
6.7 LANGUAGE
6.7.1 English language must be used for all air-ground RTF communications within Australian
FIRs unless use of an alternative language has been arranged with ATS prior to any specific
flight.
6.9 NUMERALS
6.9.1 Radiotelephony pronunciation of numbers shall be in the phonetic form as follows:
ALTITUDES
800 “EIGHT HUNDRED”
1500 “ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED”
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 971

4300 “FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED”
VISIBILITY
200 “TWO HUNDRED”
1500 “ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED”
3000 “THREE THOUSAND”
6.10.2 All other numbers must be transmitted by pronouncing each digit separately, e.g.:
FLIGHT LEVELS
FL180 “FLIGHT LEVEL ONE EIGHT ZERO”
FL200 “FLIGHT LEVEL TWO ZERO ZERO”
HEADINGS
150 “ONE FIVE ZERO”
080 “ZERO EIGHT ZERO”
300 “THREE ZERO ZERO”

29.95 “TWO NINE DECIMAL NINE FIVE”
NOTE: For the transmission of numbers in aircraft call signs, refer to paragraph titled Flight
Number Call Signs.
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.:
Time may be stated in minutes only (two figures) in radiotelephone communications when no mis-
understanding 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 973
AUSTRALIA
COMMUNICATIONS
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.:
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 is not granted or That is not correct or Not capable.
OUT — This exchange of transmissions is ended and I expect no response from you (not nor-
mally used in VHF or satellite communication).
OVER — My transmission is ended and I expect a response from you (not normally used in VHF
or satellite 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.
RECLEARED — A change has been made to your last clearance, and this new clearance super-
sedes your previous clearance or part thereof.
REPORT — Pass me the following information.
REQUEST — I should like to know or I wish to obtain
ROGER — I have received all of your last transmission (under NO circumstances to be used in
reply to a question requiring READ BACK or a direct answer in the affirmative or negative).
SAY AGAIN — Repeat all, or the following part, of your last transmission.
SPEAK SLOWER — Reduce your rate of speech.
STAND BY — Wait and I will call you.
UNABLE — I cannot comply with your request, instruction or clearance (normally followed by a
reason).
VERIFY — Check and confirm with originator.
WILCO — I understand your message and will comply with it.
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;
6.15.2 Group form is the grouping of numbers into pairs, or where a number ending in “00” is
spoken in hundreds (refer to Selection of Aircraft Identification Numbers and Suffixes). For three
digit numbers, the second and third numbers are grouped. Examples are as follows:
6.15.3 Pilots and ATS should be aware that the preference to use “group form” does not invalid-
ate any transmissions made in conventional formats. However, to retain the integrity in the com-
munication between ATS and operators, the identification format used should be consistent.
6.15.4 A pilot not using “group form” in establishing communication, but subsequently
addressed by ATS in this format, should adopt the use of “group form” for the remainder of the
flight in Australian airspace.
6.15.5 There is no additional abbreviated form when using flight number call signs. The airline
designator and all digits of the call sign, including leading zeros, must be pronounced.
b. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the last 4
characters of the registration marking of the aircraft (eg “UNITED FIFTY EIGHT TWENTY
SIX”); or
c. the approved telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the flight
identification (eg “SPEEDBIRD FIFTY FIVE”).
NOTE: The name of the aircraft manufacturer or aircraft model may be used as a radiotelephony
prefix to the call sign type mentioned in sub-para 6.20.2a.
6.20.3 For foreign registered aircraft, after establishing 2-way communications, ATS may initiate
abbreviated call signs for the type stated in 6.20.2a and 6.20.2b. These call signs may be abbrevi-
ated to:
a. the first character of the registration and at least the last 2 characters of the registration
marking (eg N35826 “NOVEMBER EIGHT TWENTY SIX”).
b. the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by at least the last 2 char-
acters of the registration marking (eg “UNITED TWENTY SIX”).
NOTE: For flight planning, all call signs are limited to 7 characters.
6.20.4 In addition to the requirements of 6.20.1 to 6.20.3, the prefix “HELICOPTER” must be
used by rotary wing aircraft when first establishing 2-way communications on any frequency (eg
VH-WSO “HELICOPTER WHISKEY 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-
SPEED BRAVO FORMATION”.
a. The telephony designator should resemble the name of the aircraft operating agency or its
function, and be distinct and dissimilar from any other telephony designators in use (eg,
HORIZON).
b. The two or three letter designator should reflect correlation with the telephony designator
(eg, HZA).
c. In order to reduce the length of transmission, the telephony designator should be brief and
comprising, if possible, one word of two or three syllables.
d. In order to reduce ATC screen clutter, approved two letter designators should be used for
domestic operations.
6.21.3 Once requests have been processed, Airservices Australia will notify the operator in writ-
ing of the approval along with an effective date. Approvals will be subject to the operator agreeing
to the use of group form.
NOTE: Effective dates usually align with the AIP Book amendment AIRAC date.

Use of these numbers will ensure aircraft transiting state borders utilizing the same call sign prefix
do not duplicate an existing call sign suffix number or flight plan.
7 PHRASEOLOGIES
7.1 GENERAL
7.1.1 Symbols and Parentheses
7.1.1.1 Words in parentheses “( )” indicate that specific information, such as a level, a place, a
time, etc., must be inserted to complete the phrase, or alternatively, that optional phrases may be
used. Words in brackets “[ ]” indicate optional additional words or information that may be neces-
sary in specific instances.
7.1.1.2 The following symbols indicate phraseologies which may differ from those used in an
international aviation environment, but are necessitated by Australian requirements.
7.1.2 Phraseologies show the text of message components without call signs. They are not
intended to be exhaustive, and when circumstances differ, pilots, ATS and Air Defence personnel,
and other ground personnel will be expected to use appropriate subsidiary phraseologies which
should be clear, concise, and designed to avoid any possible confusion.
7.1.3 For convenience, the phraseologies are grouped according to types of air traffic service.
However, users should be familiar with, and use as necessary, phraseologies from groups other
than those referring specifically to the type of air traffic service being provided. All phraseologies
must be used in conjunction with call signs (aircraft, ground vehicle, ATC or other) as appropriate.
7.1.4 Phraseologies for the movement of vehicles, other than tow-tractors on the maneuvering
area, are not listed separately as the phraseology associated with the movement of aircraft is
applicable. The exception is for taxi instructions, in which case the word “PROCEED” shall be
substituted for the word “TAXI” when communicating with vehicles.

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 1039
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 1042
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.
j. RPAS in all classes of airspace and when instructed to enable transponder — 7000.
7.1.5 Pilots of flights which will require a SIS and/or a clearance into controlled airspace, and for
which a discrete code has already been coordinated, must select that code immediately prior to
making the SIS/clearance request.
7.1.6 A pilot must not operate the identification function (SPI) unless requested by ATC.
7.1.7 Flights assigned a temporary discrete SSR code by ATS must squawk that code until ter-
mination of the flight sector, unless advised otherwise by ATS. If not assigned a discrete code, the
appropriate generic code must be used.
7.1.8 A pilot operating a Mode 3A/C transponder at a radar controlled aerodrome must:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1043
AUSTRALIA
ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICES AND PROCEDURES
a. on departure, leave the transponder selected to STANDBY until entering the departure
runway; and
b. on arrival, select the transponder to STANDBY or OFF as soon as practicable after landing.
7.1.9 A pilot operating a Mode S transponder must:
a. Enter the aircraft’s identification that corresponds exactly to the Aircraft Identification shown
in Item 7 of the flight notification filed with air traffic control for the flight for those aircraft that
are capable of reporting Aircraft Identification. The ICAO defined format for entry of the Air-
craft Identification shall be used except for domestic operations when VH is not to be entered
on the flight notification. (e.g. VOZ123D, REX638, QFA842, VHQFO (international), FDA...)
b. On receipt of ATC clearance, or requesting the earlier of Push Back or Taxi, select TA/RA/
XPDR/ON AUTO as applicable.
NOTE 1: If AUTO mode is not available Select ON (e.g. XPDR) and assigned Mode A code.
NOTE 2: Australia does not require TA/RA to be de-selected while aircraft is on ground.
c. When parked and shutting down engines, select STANDBY.
d. For Mode S equipped aircraft taxiing without flight plan, the appropriate Mode A code
according to para 7.1.4 should be selected and the aircraft identification entered exactly as
the callsign used in flight.
7.1.10 Pilots must select the transponder to STANDBY before effecting an SSR code change
and returning the transponder to ON/ALT.
NOTE: This action is required to prevent possible loss of displayed aircraft position / label infor-
mation and possible misidentification of aircraft in automated Australian ATC systems due to tem-
porary selection (while effecting the change) of a code already in use.
7.1.11 When acknowledging code setting instructions or changes to settings, the pilot must read
back the code to be set.
7.1.12 To facilitate harmonization with the air traffic management systems used in the FIRs of
adjacent ICAO states (other than the Mauritius FIR), ATC will allocate civil international flights a
discrete code from Australia’s ICAO international reservation for use from the time of their depar-
ture.
7.1.13 Unless instructed otherwise by ATS, pilots of military international flights are required to
set code 5000 before departure from an Australian airport.
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 airport(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 airport where gliding operations are in
progress. Gliding operations are indicated by the “gliding operations in progress” ground signal
displayed next to the primary wind direction indicator. Pilots should also establish whether the
gliders are being launched by wire or aerotow, or both.
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.
In Class G airspace, gliders may be operating no-radio, on Area VHF or on frequencies 122.5,
122.7 or 122.9MHz. Radio-equipped gliders at, or in the vicinity of, non-controlled airports operate
in accordance with the table at ATC — COMMUNICATIONS — Summary of Reports and Sum-
mary of Broadcasts.
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 airports other than for which contra-circuits are prescribed, gliders are generally
required to conform to the established circuit direction. However, unforeseen circumstances may
occasionally compel a glider to execute a non-standard pattern, including use of the opposite cir-
cuit direction in extreme cases.
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 airport below 2000 ft AGL.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1048
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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 airport level within 3 NM of a certified or registered airport, 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 airports; 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.
operators are authorized to maintain their own SARWATCH, and no flight notification is required
for flights outside controlled airspace.
4.2.2 Pilots of balloons who have been permitted to operate in the airspace described in sub-
paras 4.1.2a. and b. are required to carry and use radio as described in para 4.2.1. Where a
number of balloons are permitted to operate together in the vicinity of an uncontrolled certified or
registered airport, one balloon in each group may maintain radio communication for the group.
4.2.3 Pilots of balloons engaged in private operations are required to carry radio and use it in
accordance with the procedures described in Communications while they are operating:
a. within the vicinity of a non-controlled airport where radio carriage and use is required;
b. at or above 5000 ft above mean sea level;
c. within 10 NM of an airport with a published instrument approach procedure; or
d. at night.
4.2.4 The holder of a private pilot certificate issued by the Australian Ballooning Federation Inc
may have that certificate endorsed to permit radio communication on VHF frequencies only, with-
out being the holder of a flight radiotelephone operator license.
a. contact ATC by telephone or radio prior to inflating the balloon to advise the planned launch
site and likely direction or area of flight, and ascertain the availability of an ATC clearance;
and
b. call to obtain a clearance before becoming airborne.
4.6.2 The balloon pilot must maintain a continuous listening watch on the appropriate frequency
during flight within controlled airspace, and report flight progress as required by ATC. The pilot
must report changes in the direction of drift, which will cause the balloon to diverge from its nomi-
nated track or area of operations, as soon as possible, and, in any case, before the track error
exceeds one (1) nautical mile.
4.6.3 For operations in an area of controlled airspace within radar coverage, a serviceable SSR
transponder must be carried unless ATC has advised otherwise.
4.6.4 In the event of a radio failure or other emergency, the relevant procedures must be fol-
lowed. Particular attention should be given to notifying the termination of a flight where radio con-
tact is not able to confirm this.
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:
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1051
AUSTRALIA
SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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.
5.4.2 In addition to the broadcast required under para 5.1.3 the pilot-in-command must make a
broadcast not less than four (4) minutes before the descents occur to give notice that parachutists
intend to exit the aircraft at the location specified in the broadcast.
5.4.3 A broadcast under para 5.4.2 must be made on the CTAF and appropriate ATC frequen-
cies.
5.4.4 The pilot-in-command must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft in the vicinity of an
airport where radio carriage is required within the 15 minutes before the estimated time of arrival
at an airport of a Regular Public Transport (RPT) aircraft unless:
a. the two aircraft are in direct radio communication with each other; and
b. all parachutists can exit the aircraft and land before the RPT aircraft arrives within the circling
area of the airport.
5.4.5 After an RPT aircraft arrives at an airport where carriage of radio is required, the pilot-in-
command of a aircraft engaged in parachuting operations at that airport must not allow parachu-
tists to exit the aircraft until the RPT aircraft has landed and taxied clear of the runway.
5.4.6 After an RPT aircraft has broadcast that it is taxiing for departure from an airport where
carriage of radio is required, the pilot-in-command of an aircraft engaged in parachuting opera-
tions must not allow parachutists to exit the aircraft until the RPT aircraft is clear of the circling
area of the airport.
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.
6.3.3.1 This altitude recognizes the special terrain/weather conditions and the overlying airspace
arrangements of this area.
6.6.7 Central Section – Hinchinbrook Planning Area (please see map over page) Pilots are
requested to avoid:
a. flying below 1500 ft within the Hinchinbrook Planning Area;
b. landing within the Hinchinbrook Island Dugong Protection Area A;
c. landing within 500m of any Island.
6.6.8 Michaelmas Cay, situated approximately 30° magnetic and 20 NM from Cairns, is ranked
as the most important seabird breeding site within the Cairns Section.
6.6.9 Aircraft operating upwind of a seabird breeding site are likely to cause greater impact than
those downwind, therefore, distance from a site may need to be increased when operating upwind
to avoid disturbing birds.
6.6.10 For advice on sensitive areas within the GBRMP and restrictions imposed under the
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975, pilots should contact the relevant Queensland Parks
and Wildlife Service, Coastal Management Program Regional Offices prior to operating within the
GBRMP:

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.
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 are equipped with navigation 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.
The following MLJR are activated HJ and are flown by F18 aircraft operating at or below 5000 ft
AGL:
a. YB(R)-638 – 10 NM SSW Baryulgil below 3000 ft AGL – Gatton (Climb Point) – Amberley.
b. YB(R)-638 – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Gold Coast – Point Lookout (Stradbroke Island) –
Brisbane.
c. Point Lookout – Gold Coast – Coastal below 5000 ft AGL – YB(R)-638.
d. YB(R)-638 – Casino 231025 – Amberley 191043 – Amberley.
e. Sandy Cape – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Double Island Point – Bribie Island – Cape Mor-

f. Point Lookout – Cape Moreton – Bribie Island – Coastal below 3000 ft AGL – Double Island
Point – Sandy Cape.
NOTE: A number of other MLJR and Defence activities are in operation at various times in
addition to those shown above and will be advised by NOTAM when necessary. Pilots must
refer to this information to gain an appreciation of military operations that might affect their
operation.
13 SECURITY AWARENESS
13.1 All members of the aviation industry, including general aviation, charter, crop duster, heli-
copter and local airport operators should be particularly vigilant with regard to any suspicious
activity relating to the use, training in, or acquisition of dangerous chemicals, including threats,
unusual purchases, and/or unusual contacts with the public.
13.2 Any suspicious circumstances or unusual behavior should be immediately reported to the
police and the relevant aircraft, airline, or airport operator.
14 FIRE OPERATIONS
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 1067

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 airport.
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 Airports
15.5.1.1 Prescribed entry “gates” and associated standard routes and/or altitudes may be provi-
ded to facilitate the flow of helicopter traffic. Use of these “gates” is not mandatory. Subject to the
receipt of an ATC clearance, helicopters may, if required, conform to the standard traffic proce-
dures applicable to airplanes. This option may be more appropriate when operating larger heli-
copters.
15.5.1.2 At locations within controlled airspace, helicopters may be granted a landing clearance
or be instructed to report on the ground, as appropriate, at any area nominated by ATC or the
pilot, and assessed by the pilot as being suitable as a HLS.
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 as specified in ATC — DEPARTURE, APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES —
Radio Telephony Requirements Outside Controlled Airspace.
b. when separate circuit patterns are not practicable, helicopters may utilize the same traffic
pattern direction as other traffic, and will normally operate inside and at a lower altitude than
that traffic, but not below 500 ft above the airport elevation.
15.6.2 Non-Controlled Airports
15.6.2.1 The following circuit operating procedures apply:
a. Helicopters may be operated on contra-direction circuits and parallel to the airplane traffic
pattern at a lower altitude than that traffic, but not below 500 ft above the airport elevation.
The landing site associated with the helicopter circuit is to be positioned outside the flight
strip of the runway in use so that helicopter circuit traffic does not cross the extended center-
line of that runway;
b. if the procedure outlined in a. above is not practicable, the helicopter circuit patterns should
be flown inside and parallel to the airplane traffic and at lower altitudes, but not below 500 ft
above the airport elevation. The landing site associated with the helicopter circuit is to be
positioned outside the flight strip of the runway in use so that helicopter circuit traffic does
not cross the extended centerline of that runway; or
c. the helicopter is to follow the standard airplane traffic pattern and, in this case, may use the
flight strip area of the runway in use;
d. the pilots of radio equipped helicopters must broadcast their intentions and listen out for
other traffic on the appropriate frequency.
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 1073
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’.

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

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 airport when:
a. By Day — Within 30 NM of the airport at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route
segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GPS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the pro-
cedure 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 airport 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 airport 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 airport, estab-
lished not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
NOTE: Reference to circling area in this section includes the circling area for the category of air-
craft or a higher category where the limitations of the higher category are complied with.
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 1090
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.
NOTE: Within Australia, the term “RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE” or “RVR” is used exclusively in
relation to RVR measured by an instrumented system.
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 SA CAT I, SA CAT II, CAT II & CAT III precision approaches, or
b. for CAT I approaches when the visibility is less than 800m, or
c. for low visibility take-offs where the visibility is less than 350m.
An RV assessment is a subset of a general visibility observation and is intended to provide visibil-
ity information specific to a particular runway; which may be more useful to a pilot than the overall
ground visibility. Pilots will be notified by ATIS broadcast or directed transmission if RVR/RV is not
available when visibility is less than 800m.
After actuation, the airport lights will remain illuminated for 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, the wind-
sock 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 transmission will
reset the lights for a period of 30 minutes.

ance is required from the specified radio navigation aid. The requirements for Circling Approaches
and Visual Circling, Missed Approach and Visual Segments (located in TERMINAL — INSTRU-
MENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES) apply (refer to CAAP 178-1).
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.
Use of GNSS
Subject to the restrictions stated below, GNSS meeting one of the GNSS equipment specifica-
tions mentioned in ATC — GENERAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES, RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
may be used for distance measurement during the conduct of a DME or GNSS 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. 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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1096
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the STAR chart.
Cancellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instruction’ cancels any speed control instructions
issued by ATC. Airspace speed limitation must be complied with unless specifically cancelled.
When an arriving aircraft is cleared to proceed direct to a published waypoint on the STAR, the
speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled. The pilot must
comply with any published STAR speed and level restrictions at and after the waypoint where the
STAR is rejoined. An aircraft cleared to bypass one or more waypoints on a STAR will not receive
a specific instruction to rejoin the STAR.
When an arriving aircraft is vectored or cleared to proceed away from the STAR, all the published
speed and level restriction of the STAR are cancelled. ATC will notify the pilot if there is an
expectation the aircraft will subsequently rejoin the STAR.
NOTE: Unless specifically cancelled by ATC, any ATC traffic management speed specified will
apply to aircraft when vectored or cleared away from a STAR.
ATC instructions to rejoin a STAR will specify any transition restrictions that must be complied
with up to, but not including the waypoint where the STAR is rejoined. The pilot must comply with
any published STAR speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the STAR is
rejoined.
Following holding, pilots can expect to continue the previously issued STAR. ATC will indicate if
published level and/or speed restrictions are to be followed or are cancelled.
Where a STAR incorporates circuit legs to a runway, pilots of aircraft not equipped with a flight
management system may accept the STAR clearance and request vectors when contacting
Approach Control.
not to commence the take-off without having obtained the assigned departure heading and should
advise ATC if the heading is unacceptable.
If a SID chart has multiple climb gradient sectors, ATC will not issue heading instructions to an
airborne aircraft that would require the pilot to adopt a higher climb gradient than the gradient
specified for the initial departure heading.
When the aircraft is above the MVA, any subsequent changes of headings are ATC vectors and
ATC will issue instructions that ensure prescribed obstacle clearance will exist at all times.
The climb gradient requirements of a Radar SID cease when the aircraft reaches the MSA/LSALT
as applicable.
SID Procedures
Unless explicitly cancelled or amended by ATC, the pilot must follow the vertical and lateral profile
of the SID and comply with any published speed restrictions.
The use of a SID designator without a cleared level does not authorize the pilot to climb on the
SID vertical profile.
A level restriction depicted on a SID chart does not authorize a pilot to climb to meet that restric-
tion. ATC will assign climb to permit compliance with vertical navigation restrictions. Pilots must
inform ATC if a level restriction cannot be met.
ATC level change instructions to aircraft on a SID will indicate if published level and/or speed
restrictions are to be followed or are cancelled.
When conducting a SID, the priority is to meet the vertical navigation restrictions of the SID. When
speed restrictions do not enable the aircraft to meet a SID level restriction, the pilot must advise
ATC of any speed deviation requirement at ACD stage or as soon as the situation is identified.
Pilots must advise ATC when able to resume the SID speed restrictions.
For ATC traffic management: unless varied by ATC, DAP or ERSA, at or before 3000 ft AGL or at
the completion of a noise abatement procedure, jet aircraft departing Class C airports must:
a. commence acceleration to 250 kt IAS; and
b. maintain 250 kt until leaving 10,000 ft AMSL.
The pilot must advise ATC, preferably at ACD stage, if the aircraft will be unable to comply.
Cancellation of ‘published speed restrictions’ cancels all speeds published on the SID chart. Can-
cellation of ‘ATC-issued speed control instructions’ cancels any speed control instructions issued
by ATC. Airspace speed limitations must be compiled with unless specifically cancelled.
When a departing aircraft is cleared to proceed direct to a published waypoint on the SID, the
speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled. The pilot must
comply with any published SID speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the
SID is rejoined. An aircraft cleared to bypass one or more waypoints on a SID will not receive a
specific instruction to rejoin the SID.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1099
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
When a departing aircraft is vectored or cleared to proceed away from the SID, all the published
speed and level restrictions of the SID are cancelled. ATC will notify the pilot if there is an expect-
ation the aircraft will subsequently rejoin the SID.
NOTE: Unless specifically cancelled by ATC, any ATC traffic management speed specified will
apply to aircraft when vectored or cleared away from a SID.
ATC instructions to rejoin a SID will specify any transition restrictions that must be complied with
up to, but not including the waypoint where the SID is rejoined. The pilot must comply with any
published SID speed and level restrictions, at and after the waypoint where the SID is rejoined.
In a surveillance environment prior to take-off, ATC may cancel a procedural SID and:
a. issue a radar SID; or
b. require the aircraft to depart on runway track using the climb gradient specified in the cancel-
led SID. In this case, ATC will use the phrase “CANCEL SID, MAINTAIN RUNWAY TRACK
(three digits) DEGREES”.
NOTE: For the application of this procedure, the runway and radar SID tracks must be coincident
up to the MVA.
In VMC by day, the pilot may request, or ATC may offer a visual departure.
When a departure report is required during a SID, the SID designator must be included in the
report.
For a Radar SID, the direction of turn and assigned heading must be advised in the airborne
report.
the ATIS broadcast as early as possible and if within 200 NM of a destination where LAHSO is in
progress, immediately advise ATC “LAHSO APPROVED”.
e.g. “MELBOURNE CENTER, (callsign) DESCENDING TO FLIGHT LEVEL TWO FIVE ZERO,
LAHSO APPROVED”.
Pilots of civil aircraft operating under a flight number callsign as advised in flight notification, and
pilots of Australian military aircraft, may omit the words “LAHSO APPROVED”. Aircraft of opera-
tors who have advised in writing an intention not to participate will not be intentionally sequenced
for LAHSO.
Where an aircraft or crew that would normally participate actively or passively in LAHSO does not
meet the criteria for participation, this must be communicated to ATC at the earliest opportunity.
Pilots of aircraft not operating under a flight number callsign who will be entering controlled air-
space within 120 NM of destination must advise ATC “LAHSO APPROVED”.
When crews experience wind shear early advice to ATC is essential to ensure timely information
is passed to subsequent aircraft.
ATIS Broadcast
Pilots will be alerted that LAHSO are in progress by a statement on the ATIS; e.g., “DARWIN
TERMINAL INFORMATION BRAVO, RUNWAYS 29 AND 36, LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPER-
ATIONS IN PROGRESS, (wind, temp, etc.)”
Both the active and passive runways will be nominated on the ATIS to aid in crew situational
awareness.
NOTE: The acronym LAHSO may be used at ATC discretion.
Directed Traffic Information
ATC is required to issue directed traffic information to both aircraft participating in LAHSO.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1103
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
NOTE: Defense airports also provide Distance To Go signs. The distance shown on such a sign
is in feet and is the distance from the sign to the end of the runway.
Runway Intersection Signs — This sign is normally provided for a runway used in LAHSO to
show the designation of the intersecting runway. A sign is placed on both sides of the runway at
the Hold Short Line (75m to the intersecting runway centerline). These signs are illuminated for
night operations. An ATC take-off or landing clearance constitutes clearance to pass such signs
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1104
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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 airports and are designated as fol-
lows:
a. Civil CTR: A CTR, administered by a civil air navigation service provider, other than a mili-
tary CTR. Class C or Class D procedures and services apply.
b. Military CTR: A CTR administered by the Australian Defence Force. Class C procedures
and services apply to civil flights.
CTRs are active during the hours of the operation of the control tower. 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.
Pilots and ATS should be aware that the preference to use “group form” does not invalidate any
transmissions made in conventional formats. However, to retain the integrity in the communication
between ATS and operators, the identification format used should be consistent.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1105
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
A pilot not using “group form” in establishing communication, but subsequently addressed by ATS
in this format, should adopt the use of “group form” for the remainder of the flight in Australian
airspace.
There is no additional abbreviated form when using flight number call-signs. The airline designa-
tor and all digits of the call-sign, including leading zeros, must be pronounced.
If an aircraft on a long over-water flight operating in an oceanic Class A airspace has inadvertently
deviated from the route specified in its ATC clearance, the pilot must take action to regain the
cleared route within 200 NM from the position at which the deviation was observed.
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 Network Coordination Centre (NCC) 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:
a. arrivals into Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth airports; and
b. departures from Perth airport.
Additional operating procedures are shown below for the specified airport.
Pilots must obtain an Air Traffic Flow Management Calculated Off Blocks Time (COBT) for opera-
tions at a GDP airport. Pilots of scheduled flights will be advised of their COBT through their com-
pany. Other flights may obtain a COBT through the Airservices Network Coordination Centre
(NCC) on 1 800 020 626.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1108
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Aircraft operators may swap their allocated COBT until 20 minutes prior to Calculated Take Off
Time. When a COBT has been swapped after receiving airways clearance, pilots must advise
ATC of amended COBT when calling for a start/pushback/taxi clearance.
All aircraft subject to a ground delay program must operate within the compliance window for their
allocated COBT. Pilots unable to operate within the compliance window should contact their com-
pany or the Network Coordination 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.
GDP Run Times. GDPs for the following day’s operations are normally run at the following times:
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 NCC 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 NCC.
Where possible itinerant operators should contact the NCC prior to 0800 UTC to ensure their
flight is included in the GDP for the following day. The NCC can be contacted by email at
fmu@airservicesaustralia.com or telephone 1800 020 626 H24.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1109
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Operators who contact the NCC 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 NCC and must
be provided at least one hour prior to the proposed operation. Any changes to the information pro-
vided must be notified to the NCC prior to departure:
a. Aircraft callsign
b. Aircraft type
c. Departure airport
d. Destination airport
e. ETD
f. ETA
Notification of flight details to the NCC is additional to all existing flight plan notification require-
ments.
Where communication facilities exist, pilots of non-scheduled flights must either check their COBT
with the NCC within one hour of the flight, or be able to check their mobile phone/email for any
amendments.
Where no other suitable communication facilities exist, pilots may check the COBT on the domes-
tic HF frequency.
TACTICAL — Feeder Fix Flow — Airports with Class C Towers
Feeder Flow Methodology
At airports with Class C Towers, Feeder Fix flow methodology applies to sequence arriving air-
craft. Either Maestro or directed flow control are used at these destinations, with the landing times
and arrival order achieved by aircraft crossing the arrival Feeder Fix (FF) at the allocated time.
Maestro is an ATC computer based tool used to calculate and relay arrival sequence information
at defined airports.
Feeder Fixes (FF) are designated inbound waypoints on, or near, the terminal control area boun-
dary.
ATC Procedures/Requirements
When sequencing arriving aircraft to achieve a nominated FF time, ATC may:
a. Allocate the FF time to the pilot, and/or
b. Tactically apply delaying action such as speed control or vectoring.
When ATC allocates a FF time, aircraft must adjust speed on cruise and/or descent to cross the
FF at the specified time. Aircraft unable to meet the nominated FF time must inform ATC as early
as possible.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1110
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
FF Accuracy Tolerance: Aircraft should endeavour to cross the FF at the specified time or up to
30 seconds early.
When allocated a FF time, aircraft must depart the FF at the lesser of 250 KT or profile speed,
unless advised otherwise by ATC.
ATC will check to ensure inbound aircraft will meet the allocated FF time and may tactically inter-
vene to ensure optimum sequencing.
Brisbane Air Traffic Flow Management Procedures
Runway Demand Management Scheme (RDMS)
Brisbane RDMS is applicable to all airline and ACFT operators using Brisbane airport. All flights
operating into and out of Brisbane must obtain an Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) slot in
accordance with AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT. (See – ATC — FLIGHT PLANNING —
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MANAGEMENT)
General Aviation (GA) apron operations are subject to runway/apron slot management. Approved
slot holders operating on the GA apron are to confirm allocated parking with Brisbane Airport Cor-
poration on 07 3406 3171 prior to arrival.
For full information regarding the Brisbane RDMS see BAC (Brisbane Airport Corporation) web-
site: http://www.bne.com.au/corporate/airlines-aviation/runway-demand-management-scheme.
Ground Delay Program (GDP)
Brisbane GDP is applicable to all fixed wing, non priority flights departing from all Australian
domestic airports, and arriving at Brisbane 7 days per week BTN 2000–1259 UTC.
Flights to Brisbane during the operation of GDP must obtain an ACA slot and Calculated Off
Blocks Time (COBT) in accordance with AIR TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT. (See – ATC —
FLIGHT PLANNING — AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MANAGEMENT) The COBT can be obtained
through their company or the National Operations Centre on 1800 020 626.
The following additional requirements apply:
a. Flights departing from Archerfield for a landing at Brisbane must contact the Brisbane Flow
Controller on 07 3866 3588 prior to starting engines.
b. Pilots of inbound flights to Brisbane from airports within a radius of 160 NM must contact the
Brisbane Flow Controller on 07 3866 3588 to validate their COBT and confirm a Flow tactical
landing slot.
c. Pilots of all inbound RFDS flights must contact the Brisbane Flow Controller on 07 3866

will be during the currency of, or up to 30 minutes prior to the forecast commencement of, the fol-
lowing weather conditions:
a. Cloud – more than SCT below the alternate minimum; or
NOTE: In determining requirements for alternate airports, forecast amounts of cloud below
the alternate minima are cumulative. For determining requirements, the cumulative cloud
amount is interpreted as follows:
FEW plus FEW is equivalent to SCT,
FEW plus SCT is equivalent to BKN,
SCT plus SCT is equivalent to BKN or OVC.
b. Visibility – less than the alternate minimum; or
c. Visibility – greater than the alternate minimum, but the forecast is endorsed with a percent-
age probability of fog, mist, dust or any other phenomenon restricting visibility below the
alternate minimum; or
d. Wind – a crosswind or tailwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft;
NOTE: Wind gusts must be considered.
When weather conditions at the destination are forecast to be above the values specified above,
but, additionally, intermittent or temporary deteriorations in the weather below the values are fore-
cast, provision of an alternate need not be made if sufficient additional fuel is carried to allow the
aircraft to hold for:
a. 30 minutes holding for intermittent deterioration (INTER); or
b. 60 minutes holding for temporary deterioration (TEMPO).
When thunderstorms or their associated severe turbulence or their probability is forecast at the
destination, sufficient additional fuel must be carried to permit the aircraft to proceed to a suitable
alternate or to hold for:
a. 30 minutes when the forecast is endorsed INTER; or
b. 60 minutes when the forecast is endorsed TEMPO.
When a forecast has multiple INTER or TEMPO deteriorations and holding fuel will be carried,
fuel must be carried to hold for only the most limiting requirement. INTER and TEMPO holding
fuel requirements are not cumulative.
Traffic Holding Fuel Advisory
Standing advisories for traffic holding delays for Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth airports
listed below and are necessary to facilitate tactical flow management. Where delays are not
expected to exceed these times no further advisories will be issued.
When traffic delays for these locations are expected to exceed these times, and in any case when
significant traffic delays at other airports are anticipated, ATC will advise the holding time by
NOTAM.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1115
AUSTRALIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
In addition to these requirements, flights to these airports that are required to operate in accord-
ance with a ground delay program and which depart more than 5 minutes prior to their advised
calculated off blocks time (COBT) may be subject to 60 minutes airborne delay.
All traffic holding advisories are estimates only and are based on the best information available.
Actual holding may differ from the estimate, including to allow for effective traffic management.
Operators should use their own judgement on fuel carriage decisions. Notwithstanding any advi-
sories issued, the pilot in command of an aircraft arriving at a destination without sufficient fuel for
actual traffic holding will not be accorded a priority approach unless the pilot declares an emer-
gency.

Controlled flight — Definition of controlled flight not used in Australia. Flights in controlled air-
space require air traffic control clearance but such flights are then referred to as operations in
controlled airspace.
Filed flight plan — Australian legislation refers to flight plan which means specified information,
provided to air traffic control, relative to the intended flight of an aircraft.
Flight information region — Australian legislation defines flight information region as: an air-
space of defined dimensions within which flight information service and SAR alerting service are
provided.
Pressure-altitude — Pressure altitude not specifically defined in Australian legislation.
Take-off alternate — Australian legislation addresses the expression differently. If a return to the
departure airport is not possible, that the aircraft performance and fuel availability is adequate to
enable the aircraft to proceed to a suitable airport.
Taxiing — Taxiing not specifically defined in Australian legislation but forms part of the definition
of Taxiway. Taxiway: A defined path on a land airport established for the taxiing of aircraft and
intended to provide a link between one part of the airport and another.
Terminal control area — Australian legislation does not specifically define Terminal Control
Area, but defines Control Area.
Chapter 3
General Rules
3.6.2.1.2 Australian legislation does not define changeover points.
3.6.2.2 Australian legislation does not specifically address variation in true airspeed.
3.6.4 Australian legislation has no requirement to advise ATC when a controlled flight ceases to
be subject to ATC.
3.6.5.2.2 The requirement to maintain heading and altitude for 20 minutes is not documented in
the radio failure procedures. No requirement to maintain altitude for 7 min.
Chapter 5
Instrument Flight Rules
5.1.2 Australian legislation does not apply the 2000 foot limit.
5.1.3.2 Australian legislation specifies that the decision to cancel IFR is left to the discretion of
the pilot-in-command. Some category of operations are required to maintain operations under
IFR.
4.9.1.1 Wake Turbulence separation is not applied when a LIGHT aircraft will cross the track or
follow the track of a MEDIUM fixed-wing aircraft of less than 25,000kg maximum certified take-off
mass.
4.10 The system of altimetry used in Australia makes use of a transition layer between the tran-
sition altitude which is always 10,000 ft and the transition level of FL110 to FL125 depending on
ONH to separate aircraft using QNH from those using 1013.2HPA as a datum.
4.11.5 Australian FIRs operate ADS-C to FANS 1A standards.
5.2.1.1 & 5.9 In Class “C,” “D” and “E” airspace ATC may assign to the pilot of one aircraft
responsibility to maintain separation with another aircraft only if:
a. the aircraft to be separated are operating at or below 10,000 ft; and
b. the pilot has:
1. reported the other aircraft in sight; and
2. accepted responsibility to follow, or maintain his or her own separation with, that air-
craft.
5.3.4.1 An aircraft may only be assigned a level vacated by another aircraft if a rate of climb or
descent is specified so as to ensure that the applicable vertical separation minimum is main-
tained.
5.4.1.2.1.2 Australia uses a lateral separation procedure which ensures there is at least one
nautical mile displacement between the two aircraft accounting for the accuracy of the navigation
aid or method used.
In addition to navigation aid combinations mentioned in PANS-ATM, Australia facilitates lateral
separation on the basis of dead reckoning tracks, and one aircraft on a VOR radial and the other
aircraft on an NDB track.
5.4.2.6.2 Use of off-track DME stations is permitted under specified conditions.
5.6 IAS is used in lieu of TAS. Additional requirements apply when both aircraft proceed on the
same route on which a turn of 41 degrees to 65 degrees is specified.
7.11 Lower runway separation minima apply at all times.
Air Traffic Control
(f) G-344: Eastbound, Odd Altitudes FL190 to FL410, also FL300, FL320, FL340
(g) G-344: Westbound, Even Altitudes FL300 to FL400, also FL350, FL370, FL390,
FL430
(h) R-591 and G-344 are Eastbound routes unless designated as Westbound
PACOTS. Traffic flows are either Eastbound or Westbound with the tracks being
emptied of traffic before changing direction.
5. Non-RNP-10 aircraft shall flight plan as follows:
(a) Westbound: R-220 at all times.
(b) Eastbound: A-590 at all times.
(c) Eastbound: G-344 when available for eastbound flights.
(d) The altitudes available on these routes are at or below FL280 and at or above
FL430.
e. Procedures
1. Peak traffic periods are:
(a) Eastbound - 0700UTC to 2100UTC
(b) Westbound - 1200UTC to 1900UTC and 2200UTC to 0800UTC
(c) Due to traffic volume, flights desiring to operate contrary to the predominant traffic
flow can expect to be rerouted or assigned less than optimum flight levels. If feasi-
ble, users planning to operate in the NOPAC Route System at airspeeds below
MACH 0.78 should use other than the peak hours for their flights. This will reduce
congestion and expedite traffic.
f. NOPAC Reroutes
Aircraft cannot always be accommodated on their flight planned NOPAC route. In an effort to
reduce coordination time and errors between ATC and flight crews, JCAB (Fukuoka ATMC)
and FAA (Anchorage ARTCC) have agreed on a common procedure to accommodate most
reroutes. Aircraft rerouted from one NOPAC ATC route to another NOPAC ATC route will be
given short range clearances into the adjoining FIR's RADAR coverage airspace. The receiv-
ing ATC facility will then issue further routing to the aircraft prior to the aircraft reaching the
clearance limit.
1. Example 1: aircraft ABC101 is routed via R-220 to RJTT but can not be accommodated
on R-220. The aircraft may be re-cleared as follows: “ABC101 cleared to OATIS via
R-580, expect further clearance from ATMC after OMOTO.”

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 1126
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

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

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.

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.
If the aircraft is required to deviate from track to avoid adverse meteorological conditions and prior
clearance cannot be obtained, an ATC clearance shall be obtained at the earliest possible time.
Until an ATC clearance is received, the pilot shall take the following actions:
a. if possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system;
b. establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track code)
and intentions, on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up, on the inter-
pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c. watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions of b) and c) above, the pilot deter-
mines that there is another aircraft at or near the same flight level with which a conflict may
occur, then the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid con-
flict.
d. turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
e. for deviations of less than 19km (10 NM) remain at a level assigned by ATC;
f. for deviations greater than 19km (10 NM), when the aircraft is approximately 19km (10 NM)
from track, initiate a level change in accordance with Table 1;
Table 1
Route center line track Deviations > 19km (10 NM) Level Change
EAST LEFT DESCEND 90m (300 ft)
000° – 179° MAGNETIC RIGHT CLIMB 90m (300 ft)
WEST LEFT CLIMB 90m (300 ft)

g. when returning to track, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within approxi-
mately 19km (10 NM) of the center line; and
h. if contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and
obtain essential traffic information.
NOTE 3: The use of highly accurate navigation systems (such as the global navigation satellite
system (GNSS)) by an increasing proportion of the aircraft population has had the effect of reduc-
ing the magnitude of lateral deviations from the route center line and, consequently, increasing
the probability of a collision, should a loss of vertical separation between aircraft on the same
route occur.
The following shall be taken into account by the appropriate. ATS authority when authorizing the
use of strategic lateral offsets in a particular airspace:
a. strategic lateral offsets shall only be authorized in enroute oceanic or remote continental air-
space. Where part of the airspace in question is within radar coverage, transiting aircraft
should normally be allowed to initiate or continue offset tracking;
b. strategic lateral offsets may be authorized for the following types of routes (including where
routes or route systems intersect):
1. uni-directional and bi-directional routes; and
2. parallel route systems where the spacing between route center lines is not less than
55.5km (30 NM);
c. in some instances it may be necessary to impose restrictions on the use of strategic lateral
offsets, e.g. where their application may be inappropriate for reasons related to obstacle
clearance;
d. strategic lateral offset procedures should be implemented on a regional basis after coordina-
tion between all States involved;
e. the routes or airspace where application of strategic lateral offsets is authorized, and the pro-
cedures to be followed by pilots, shall be promulgated in aeronautical information publica-
tions (AIPs); and
f. air traffic controllers shall be made aware of the airspace within which strategic lateral offsets
are authorized.
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.

This affects the following separations currently in use:
– 30 NM lateral; and
– 30 NM and 50 NM longitudinal.
Aircraft operators conducting flights in the Nadi FIR, where separations are dependent on Per-
formance-Based Communication and Surveillance (PBCS), shall start using RCP/RSP indicators
in their flight plans as soon as possible, however, no later than March 29, 2018.
The application of existing and planned RNAV- and RNP-based 50 NM and 30 NM longitudinal
and 30 NM lateral separation minima shall continue, subject to the conditions that:
a. PBCS monitoring is in place; and
b. Performance-based horizontal separation using PBCS designators in flight plans is imple-
mented as soon as practically possible.

HOLDING
Particularities of Entries into a VOR DME Holding Pattern
Entries in a VOR DME holding pattern can be done as follows:
– by following the inbound track of the holding pattern;
– by following a published track;
– in cases of radar vectoring, aircraft must follow regulatory protected tracks.
The entry point is:
– either the holding pattern fix;
– or the end of flying distance fix.
Departure procedure maximum indicated airspeed (KIAS) for initial turn and turn after initial climb
procedures are indicated in the following table for each category of aircraft.
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.
Revisions of Estimates
Except when reporting position via ADS, pilots must report immediately to ATC a corrected esti-
mate for the next significant point at any time, it becomes apparent that an estimate previously
submitted is in error in excess of 2 minutes.
INBOUND TRAFFIC
For inbound flights from upstream Data Link equipped centers, Tahiti requirements are as follows:
– Connection Management Requirement: LOGON is required at the earliest 35 minutes prior to
Estimate FIR Boundary;
– CPDLC Connection Transfer: required at least 5 minutes prior to Transfer of Control Point
(TCP) unless otherwise coordinated;
– Crossing FIR Boundary: Tahiti requests voice communication instruction as follows: “MONI-
TOR NTTT CENTER [Frequency]*”
(*Frequencies as those assigned during Coordination)
And one CPDLC position report.
Aircraft filing a SELCAL Code in FPL Item 18 will be assumed to have serviceable SELCAL
and be maintaining a SELCAL watch on the HF frequency advised in the monitor instruction
passed by the transferring CPDLC authority.
Application CPDLC
General
CPDLC will be the primary means of communications between ATC and FANS 1/A equipped air-
craft.
Voice will be used as the backup communications medium.
The provision of Pre Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC to departing aircraft is not available.
Controller/Pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC must be closed by CPDLC.
Message Restrictions
Tahiti requires not to use element “CRUISE [altitude]” in CPDLC messages.
Position Reporting
Tahiti requires an initial CPDLC [position report] at FIR Boundary entry point then ADS reporting
only.
ADS Application
Pilots must ensure that ADS is left armed during flight progression within Tahiti FIR.
ADS Contracts will be established automatically upon successful Logon.
The Vertical Rate Change event contract is not used by Tahiti.
The default rate of Periodic Contract is set to 14 minutes in all airspaces of the Tahiti FIR.
Following initial CPDLC position report on first contact, ADS reporting will fulfil normal position
reporting requirements within the FIR.
Neither CPDLC nor Voice position reports will be required while ADS is operational.

3.1.2 More limited measures may be in force over towns and other facilities.
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.

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1178
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
To ensure the correct synchronization of messages, controller/pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC
must be closed by CPDLC. Controller/pilot dialogues opened by voice must be closed by voice.
Due to inherent integrity checks and a coded reference to any preceding related message con-
tained within CPDLC messages, a clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate
CPDLC response, not a read-back as would be required if the clearance had been issued by
voice.
The down link response “WILCO” indicates that the pilot accepts the full terms of the whole uplink
message.
A down link response “AFFIRM” is not an acceptable acknowledgement or reply to a CLEAR-
ANCE issued by CPDLC.
To avoid ambiguity in message handling and response, a CPDLC downlink message should not
contain more than one clearance request.
If multiple clearance requests are contained in a single downlink message and the controller
cannot approve all requests, the uplink message element “UNABLE” will be sent as a response to
the entire message. A separate message containing a response to those requests that can be
complied with will be sent by the controller.
If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarification must be sought by
voice.
Standard pre-formatted message elements must be used whenever possible. Free text messages
should be used only when an appropriate pre-formatted message element does not exist or to
supplement the pre-formatted message element. The use of free text should be kept to a mini-
mum.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1179
MALAYSIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
When CPDLC connection is established, aircraft will be instructed to transfer from voice to
CPDLC.
The phraseology used is:
TRANSFER TO LUMPUR CONTROL ON DATA LINK [position];
MONITOR [VHF (Frequencies) ALTERNATE HF Primary/secondary (Frequencies)]
Pilots should then down link a CPDLC position report.
CPDLC Termination
CPDLC connections will be terminated at the FIR boundary position or when entering radar cover-
age. The CONTACT [unit name][frequency] message and the END SERVICE message will be
sent as separate messages. The END SERVICE message will be sent as soon as possible after
receipt of the WILCO response to the CONTACT message.
In cases where the next FIR provide data link services; a Next Data Authority message will be
sent out 30 minutes prior crossing the FIR boundary. Transfer of communication shall be comple-
ted at the FIR boundary.
In cases where the next FIR does not have data link services, CPDLC connections will be termi-
nated at the FIR boundary position.
ADS Procedures
ADS Periodic contracts will be established automatically on receipt of a LOGON. The Periodic
reporting rate is as follows:
a. In Low Traffic Density Area (LTDA) is 300 seconds (5 minutes); and
b. In Medium Traffic Density Area (MTDA) is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
The introduction of ADS application does not affect the current position report procedures.
ADS contracts will be automatically terminated at a system parameter time after aircraft has left
Kuala Lumpur FIR.
Data Link Failure
Pilots recognizing a failure of a CPDLC connection must immediately establish communications
on the appropriate voice frequency. When voice communications have been established, voice
must continue to be used as the primary medium until a CPDLC connection has been re-estab-
lished and the controller has authorized the return to data link.
In the event of an expected CPDLC shutdown, the controller will immediately advise all data link
connected aircraft of the failure by voice. Instructions will continue to be issued by voice until the
return of the data link system. The return of the system to an operational state will require a new
AFN LOGON from the affected aircraft.

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.
ATS AIRSPACE
New Zealand has designated:
RNP airspace in the Auckland Oceanic FIR; lower limit FL245, upper limit FL600.
RVSM airspace in the New Zealand FIR and the Auckland Oceanic FIR; lower limit FL290, upper
limit FL410.
PBCS
Performance Based Communications and Surveillance (PBCS) is applied in the Auckland Oce-
anic FIR for the application of reduced performance based separation standards. To be eligible
FANS1/A data-link equipped aircraft must achieve Required Communications Performance
(RCP240) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP180) standards. FANS1/A aircraft not
meeting RCP240 or RSP180 may operate CPDLC and ADS-C in the Auckland Oceanic FIR but
will not be eligible for the performance based separations.
PBCS operational approval for RCP240 and RSP180 is provided by the State of Registry or State
of operator, as appropriate.
Aircraft operators using FANS1/A CPDLC and ADS-C in the Auckland Oceanic FIR shall register
on the FANS – Central Reporting Agency (CRA) website at http:/www.fans-cra.com and partici-
pate in the regional monitoring and problem reporting programs.
RCP compliance is indicated in item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO flight plan. All FANS1/A CPDLC
RCP240 aircraft operating in the Auckland Oceanic FIR shall indicate this in item 10 of the flight
plan using the designator P2.
RSP compliance is indicated in item 18 following the indicator SUR/. All FANS1/A ADS-C
RSP180 approved aircraft operating in the Auckland Oceanic FIR shall indicate this in item 18 of

All FANS1/A CPDLC capable aircraft operating in the Auckland Oceanic FIR shall indicate this by
inserting the appropriate descriptor(s) (J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, and/or J7) in item 10a of the flight plan.
The flight crew must notify ATC whenever the aircraft is not PBCS compliant (unable to meet
RCP240 or RSP180) due to equipment failure*.
NOTE: Aircraft operating without SATCOM in the Auckland Oceanic FIR do not meet RCP240 or
RSP180.
RNP
RNP compliance is indicated by inclusion of the letter “R” in item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO
flight plan when any portion of the flight planned route passes through an active RNP designated
airspace. The performance based navigation levels that can be met are specified in item 18 fol-
lowing the indicator PBN/ using the appropriate designators. Aircraft meeting RNP2 shall indicate
this in item 18 using NAV/RNP2.
Minimum lateral separation between RNP10 aircraft is 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 item 10 (Equipment) of the ICAO flight plan if the aircraft has RVSM
operational approval.
Minimum ATC separation between RVSM aircraft is 1000 ft. In all other cases between non-
RVSM aircraft or between a non-RVSM and an RVSM aircraft 2000 ft vertical separation will be
applied.
Within RVSM airspace, RVSM approved aircraft will be given priority for level allocation over non-
RVSM approved civil aircraft. Non-RVSM approved State aircraft will be afforded the same priority
as RVSM approved aircraft.

to operate in RVSM airspace.
Civil Aircraft Fuel Requirements
Operators should be aware that flight within, or vertical transit through, RVSM airspace may not
be available and should carry adequate fuel for flight at FL280 or below.
State Aircraft
Operators of non-RVSM approved State aircraft (military, customs or police service) may flight
plan to operate within, or transit vertically through, RVSM airspace.
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.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1192
NEW ZEALAND AND PAC IS
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Mandatory Broadcast Zones are established to provide increased protection to aircraft in areas
of uncontrolled airspace where high density or special operations may occur. A pilot is required to
broadcast position and intention reports on a specified frequency on entry, when joining an airport
traffic circuit, prior to entering a runway, and at regular specified intervals when operating within
the MBZ. As an extra safety measure, landing lights or anticollision lights must be used when
fitted.
Volcanic Hazard Zones (VHZ) have special conditions that must be complied with before entry
and operation within the airspace. There is no administering authority for entry to volcanic hazard
zones. VHZ are established to provide increased protection to aircraft in an area where volcanic
activity may be present. Operation within a VHZ requires pilots to operate in VMC by day, in order
to be able to observe any volcanic ejecta or ash plume. Pilots intending to operate within a VHZ
must therefore receive relevant NOTAM and SIGMET information.
VHZ provide protection when the volcano source is at Alert Level One. During an increase in vol-
canic activity, permanent VHZ may be increased in size with the full extent of ash cloud being
advised by SIGMET. The lateral and upper vertical limits will be amended in accordance with the
following table, and notification of any change in dimensions will be via NOTAM.
ATC will not clear an aircraft to operate on any route or procedure that infringes the VHZ, unless
specifically requested by the pilot during daylight hours only. Aircraft under radar control will be
vectored clear of the boundary of any VHZ unless specifically requested otherwise by the pilot.
Pilots and operators should amend flight plans as necessary.
Timing of TIBA
a. 10 minutes before entering TIBA airspace or, for a pilot taking off from an airport located
within the lateral limits of TIBA airspace, as soon as appropriate prior to or after take-off;
b. 10 minutes prior to, and crossing any reporting point;
c. at 10 minute intervals between reporting points;
d. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS route;
e. where possible 2 to 5 minutes before a change in flight level or altitude;
f. at the time of a change in flight level or altitude;
g. when reaching new flight level or altitude; and
h. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
Content of TIBA
A broadcast is specified when reaching new flight level or altitude; Example: ALL STATIONS,
FASTAIR 69 MAINTAINING FLIGHT LEVEL 340 NOW.
Collision Avoidance Under TIBA
Unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate, immediately descend 500 ft, or 1000
ft if above FL290 in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 2000 ft is applied;
Response to a system-initiated ACAS Resolution Advisory has precedence over other instructions
concerning collision avoidance under TIBA.
2. protection of sensitive areas of the localizer and glide path is provided from the time an
aircraft on CAT II/III ILS approach is within 2 ILS/DME (2 NM from touchdown) until the
aircraft has landed and completed its landing roll.
ATC does not provide protection of ILS critical and sensitive areas when:
a. The aircraft on ILS approach is beyond the distances from touchdown specified in paragraph
(a) and (b) above; and/or
b. Weather conditions are better than those specified in weather conditions paragraph (a)
above.
Aircraft on ILS approaches may experience fluctuations in the localizer and/or glide path course
(particularly when the critical/sensitive areas are not being protected) when a preceding aircraft:
a. Passes over or through the localizer critical/sensitive area while departing, landing or execut-
ing a missed approach on the same or another runway, or
b. Taxis through the glide path critical/sensitive area for departure.
When a preceding Code E (e.g. B777) or larger wide body aircraft will use the full length to vacate
the runway, ATC will warn the following aircraft on ILS approach by use of the phraseology:
“ILS FLUCTUATIONS MAY BE EXPERIENCED (reason: e.g. “ILS CRITICAL (and/or SENSI-
TIVE) AREA(S) INFRINGED”)”.
To assist in identifying the cause of any anomalous course disturbances pilots should advise ATC
immediately they are observed.
Pilots of aircraft flying coupled approaches should be especially alert in monitoring the automatic
flight control system.
When the critical/sensitive areas are being protected and there is an inadvertent incursion into the
critical/sensitive area by an aircraft or vehicle, ATC will warn the aircraft on ILS approach by use
of the phraseology:
“ILS FLUCTUATIONS MAY BE EXPERIENCED (reason: e.g. “ILS CRITICAL (and/or SENSI-
TIVE) AREA(S) INFRINGED”)”.
PRACTICE AUTO-LANDINGS
Practice auto-land operations may be available at Auckland and Christchurch airports when
weather conditions are better than CAT I ILS minima.
When protection of critical/sensitive areas is not required, pilots wishing to conduct a practice
auto-land must advise ATC of their intention, as early as practicable, in order that ATC is able to
either:
a. Protect the ILS critical and sensitive areas; or
b. Advise that due to traffic protection of ILS critical and sensitive areas will not be provided
using the phraseology:
“ILS CRITICAL AND SENSITIVE AREAS NOT PROTECTED”.

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.

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

ing.
Pilots of aircraft meeting RNP 10 requirements must indicate /R at Item 10 of the ICAO Flight
Plan.
Operations by Aircraft Not Meeting RNP 10 Requirements
An aircraft that is unable to meet the minimum navigation requirements described above must file
a flight plan at FL280 or below. Operations above FL280 for these aircraft will be subject to ATC
approval, in accordance with the provisions below.
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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1222
PHILIPPINES
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
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
The following separation minimum may be used for aircraft climbing, cruising or descending on
the same track.

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1224
PHILIPPINES
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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).
Operations by Aircraft Not Meeting RNP 10 Requirements
Non-RNP 10-approved aircraft planning to operate along RNAV route N884 (northeast bound)
must fly at FL270 or below. Operations above FL270 by these aircraft shall be subject to ATC
approval.
Whenever a request from a non-RNP 10-approved aircraft to operate on RNAV route N884
(northeast bound) at FL280 or above or on RNAV route M767 (southwest bound) at FL290 or
above is received, Manila Control shall coordinate with adjacent ATS units affected by the flight.
Additional Communication Procedures
Pilots operating southwest bound along RNAV route M767 may initiate CPDLC communications
with Singapore ACC (addressee: WSJC) over waypoint TOKON or 20 minutes before reaching
waypoint TEGID but shall remain in contact with Manila Control via VHF at 118.9 MHz until posi-
tion TEGID except when instructed by Manila Control to switch to Singapore Control at an earlier
time.
Pilots operating northeast bound along RNAV route N884 shall establish contact with Manila Con-
trol via VHF at 118.9 MHz at least 3 minutes before reaching waypoint LAXOR.
Large Scale Weather Deviations (LSWD)
Whenever LSWD procedures are activated along RNAV routes N884 and M767, application of
the RNP 10 50 NM longitudinal separation shall be suspended. Manila Control shall provide other
applicable separation.
The longitudinal separation of 15 minutes shall remain applicable to aircraft not capable of area
navigation.
Change of Mach Number
Aircraft cleared to maintain their Mach Numbers from entry to exit points shall strictly adhere to
their assigned Mach Numbers and shall notify ATC of any variation to its cleared (filed) Mach
Numbers.
The Altimeter Setting Procedures in use in the Philippines generally conform to those contained in
ICAO Doc. 8168-OPS/311. Transition altitudes are given on the corresponding terminal charts.

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.

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-
ance of entry/exit via specific waypoints or instructed to remain outside the CTA until a mini-

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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - PACIFIC 1251

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.

Aircraft will not be operated within an approach control area at or below 3000m (10,000 ft) above
MSL or a control zone above 900m (3000 ft) above MSL at a speed above 250 KIAS.
However, if the aircraft is instructed by ATC to operate at a greater speed, or if the minimum safe
airspeed for the aircraft is greater than the maximum speed prescribed, the aircraft may be oper-
ated at the greater speed. Above provisions may not be applied if a permission is obtained from
the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
EXAMPLE: At night, when approach and runway lights are in operation, the reported meteorologi-
cal visibility is 1200m and the required minimum for the approach is a CMV of 1600m. 1200m x 2
= 2400m, which is above the required CMV of 1600m.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1264
JAPAN
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Take-off Minimums
Take-off minima are as follows:
a. If RVR closest to the start point of the take-off run is reported, the RVR must be applied at
least. If the RVR closest to the start point of the take-off run is not reported, VIS must be
applied.
b. Operators can determine whether to apply other RVS(s) in addition to the RVR mentioned a)
above or not. When multiple RVRs are applied, all related RVR values must be above the
minima.
c. For night operations, runway edge and end lights (which indicates DER) must be in opera-
tion.
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 1268
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.

Domestic airspace.
Flight Planning
RNAV5 approved aircraft are required to plan RNAV5 routes when cruising RNAV preferential
altitudes.
Remarks: The operator for RNAV5 approved aircraft must specify “R” in item 10 and “PBN/B1-B6”
in item 18 of flight plan.
The operator for RNAV5 approved aircraft which intend to cruise RNAV preferential altitudes
needs to coordinate about their route of flight with Air Traffic Management Center (ATMC) if not
possible to plan RNAV5 routes to avoid bad weather or an excessive air traffic volume.

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

Once an aircraft deviates from ATC clearance and instruction in compliance with a wind shear
alert, the controller is not responsible for providing prescribed separation between the aircraft exe-
cuting the escape maneuver and any other aircraft.
Controller’s responsibility for providing separation for all affected aircraft resumes when the pilot
informs a controller that wind shear escape maneuver is completed and the controller confirms
that the prescribed separation is reestablished.

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.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
RNP10 capability is required for operations on L524, L877 and M506 within Yangon FIR.
Pilots must advise ATC of any deterioration or failure of navigation systems for RNP10 capability.
ATC shall then provide alternative separation and/or routing.
Aircraft meeting RNP10 navigation requirements shall indicate /R in Item 10a of the ICAO Flight
Plan or indicate /R in Item 10a and indicate PBN/A1 in Item 18.
Uni‐directional air traffic flow are applied on L524, L877 and M506 as follows:
The following rules and procedures are adopted in the interest of national security to enable iden-
tification as early as possible of air traffic entering the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in
the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
No flight of any aircraft either originating in or penetrating into the ADIZ will be permitted without
Air Defense Clearance. The procedure for obtaining this clearance is as follows:
a. Flight plan to be filed 30 minutes before take-off and include ETA at ADIZ boundary and
route and altitude within ADIZ. In-flight changes for entry are not allowed except in emer-
gency.
b. Except for local flights conducted in the immediate vicinity of an aerodrome, all aircraft oper-
ating to, through or within the ADIZ shall obtain Air Defense Clearance (ADC) through the Air
Traffic Control Center.
c. ADC shall be valid for the entire flight within ADIZ irrespective of intermediate halts for flights
originating in or transiting the ADIZ.
d. For flights originating within the ADIZ, ADC shall be obtained before departure and in the
event of departure being delayed for more than 30 minutes a new ADC shall be obtained.
e. In respect of East bound flight conducted along the airways penetrating the ADIZ, aircraft
shall, on first contact with the ATCC at the FIR boundary request the ADC giving the estima-
ted time over the ADIZ boundary.
f. In respect of West bound flight conducted along the airways penetrating the ADIZ, aircraft
shall, on first contact with the ATCC at the FIR boundary request an ADC only.
g. In respect of all flights conducted off airways, aircraft shall contact ATCC at least 10 minutes
before entering the ADIZ giving the ETA over the ADIZ boundary and requesting ATC.
Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the Director General, a pilot-in-command holding the
required instrument rating and flying an aircraft equipped for instrument flight, shall comply with
the Instrument Flight Rules even when not operating in IMC, when conducting a flight under any
of the following conditions:
a. in weather conditions other than those specified for Visual Meteorological Conditions;
b. above FL150;
c. by night;
d. over the sea at a distance of more than 20 NM from the land for more than one (1) hour;
e. in any other conditions which do not permit compliance with VFR;
f. at transonic and supersonic speeds.
A pilot in command shall obtain a clearance to taxi before leaving the parked position. This taxi
clearance will govern entrance to, and movement on, the taxiways but will not relate to movement
on the apron areas. Nevertheless, available essential information about other aircraft moving on
the same apron area will be given to any aircraft calling for taxi clearance.
Whenever an engine of a turbo-jet aircraft is operating on the ground, the aircraft anti-collision
light(s) shall be displayed.
Pilots of other aircraft should appreciate that the display on the ground of anti-collision lights by a
turbo-jet aircraft means that at least one of its engines is operating. They should ensure, there-
fore, that when maneuvering near these aircraft, they do so at a safe distance from the jet efflux.
Military turbo-jet aircraft should always be treated with caution as these aircraft may not display
anti-collision lights on the ground even though under power.
A pilot in command for whom a runway has been nominated for take-off, shall regard the taxi
clearance limit to be:
a. for piston-engined aircraft—the holding bay, if provided, otherwise the holding point for the
runway; and
b. for turbine-engined aircraft or aircraft which have reported “READY” before reaching the
holding bay—the holding point for the runway.
A separate clearance must be obtained before crossing or entering any runway by day or a
runway illuminated as a runway by night.
A pilot wishing to use less than the full length of the run available, shall nominate his intention to
the controller when requesting taxi instructions.
The Altimeter Setting Procedures in use conform to those contained in ICAO Doc. 8168–OPS/
611/3.
QFE altimeter settings are available on request.
The ATFMU utilises the automated, web based Bay of Bengal Cooperative ATFM System
(BOBCAT) system in meeting its ATFM responsibilities. These responsibilities will be managed in
coordination with aircraft operators and Department Civil Aviation Myanmar in the FIRs con-
cerned.

Flights who plan to enter Kabul FIR without an ATFM slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry waypoint, allocated flight level, and allocated ATS route – will be accommodated only after
flights with slots have been processed. Such flights should expect delayed pushback and start
clearances, non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion around
Kabul FIR.
In order to ensure availability of slots for westbound departures from designated airports in north-
ern India and Pakistan, departures from these airports are given priority for FL280 in the slot allo-
cation. This does not preclude these flights from requesting higher flight levels with initial slot
request.
– Urgent medical evacuation flights or humanitarian flights specifically declared by State medical
authorities that flight delays would put the life of patients aboard at risk; and
– Flights with “Head of State” status.
NOTE: After medical flights have completed their mission, they should be subject to ATFM meas-
ures. Scheduled passenger transfer flights are, by their nature, non-urgent and should not be
given priority under normal operational situation.
Flights exempted from ATFM procedures shall indicate the exemption in their flight plan (Field 18
– ATFM EXMP).
Yangon ACC and aerodrome AIS Unit shall forward the flight plan information to the Bangkok
ATFMU at AFTN address VTBBZDZX.
As BOBCAT will allocate FL280 on a priority basis to facilitate departures from northern India and
Pakistan underneath over-flying traffic, flights departing these airports are encouraged to include
FL280 as at least one slot request preference.
Flights that were not allocated a slot in the initial slot allocation, are not satisfied with the allocated
slot or did not submit a slot request should select slots from the listing of remaining unallocated
slots available immediately after slot distribution has been completed.
Slot Allocation and Distribution
Slot allocation will commence at the cut-off time at 1200 UTC. BOBCAT will process and generate
the slot allocation based on the information submitted in the slot requests. Notification of slot allo-
cation will be made not later than 1230 UTC via the ATFMU website. Alternative arrangements for
notification of slot distribution (e.g. E-mail, Fax, and Telephone) should be coordinated with the
ATFMU.
After the slot allocation has been published at https://www.bobcat.aero, aircraft operators can:
a. Use the slot allocation result for ATS flight planning purposes,
b. Cancel the allocated slot and/or,
c. Change slot allocation to another available slot in the published list of unallocated slots.
Submission of ATS Flight Plan
Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight plan
using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
In addition to normal AFTN addressees, operators should also address flight plan (FPL) and rela-
ted ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the ATFMU via AFTN address VTBBZDZX for all
flights that have submitted a slot request.
Prior to departure, in circumstances where it becomes obvious that the Kabul slot time will not be
met, a new slot allocation should be obtained as soon as possible and via the most expeditious
means (e.g. via coordination between flight dispatcher, PIC, Yangon ACC and Bangkok ATFMU).
Early advice that the Kabul slot time will be missed also enables the slots so vacated to be effi-
ciently reassigned to other flights.
Prior to departure, in the event that the aircraft is unable to meet the Kabul slot time, when
requested by the PIC after the aircraft has left the gate Yangon ACC shall assist the PIC to coor-
dinate with the ATFMU for a revised slot allocation.
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for NOTAMs
regarding any planned activities that may affect slot availability (e.g. reservation of airspace/
closure of airspace, non-availability of routes, etc.).
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for ATS mes-
sages (e.g. FPL, DEP, DLA, CHG, CNL) relating to flights subject to ATFM procedures.
A missed slot results in dramatically increased coordination workload for ATC and PIC and should
be avoided. To minimize coordination workload in obtaining a revised slot allocation, the following
procedures are recommended:
a. If the flight is still at the gate, coordination should take place via operators/flight dispatchers
to ATFMU;
b. If the flight has left the gate, coordination to ATFMU may also take place via the ATS unit
presently communicating with the flight.
GENERAL
Aircraft in flight or operating on the maneuvering area of an aerodrome shall comply with the gen-
eral flight rules applicable to the operation of aircraft (Annex 2). Additionally, aircraft in flight shall
comply with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). An aircraft operating
between the hours of sunset and sunrise, irrespective of weather conditions shall comply with IFR
requirements or, if in a control zone during these hours, shall require special authorization from
ATC.

RULES AND PROCEDURES
SPEED RESTRICTIONS
Speed control procedures are in force unless notified otherwise by ATC or on ATIS.
All arriving turbo-propeller and turbo-jet aircraft are to fly at not faster than indicated air speed 250
knots when within 40 NM from Singapore Changi Airport or when at or below 10,000 ft, except all
arriving aircraft into Singapore Changi Airport shall comply with the speed restrictions depicted on
the transitions and RNAV STARs. Further speed reductions will be regulated by ATC as neces-
sary.
All arrivals into Singapore Changi Airport will be issued instructions by ATC to maintain 180 kt till
8 NM from touchdown and thereafter 150 kt till 4 NM from touchdown.
Pilots who may not be able to comply with the speed limits specified above for reasons of flight
safety and/or weather should inform ATC and state the speed(s) acceptable.
ATC will apply 60 NM lateral separation minima to aircraft which are approved for RNP 10 opera-
tions on RNAV routes:
Pilots shall inform ATC of any deterioration or failure of the navigation systems below the naviga-
tion requirements for RNP 10. ATC shall then provide alternative separation and/or alternative
routing.
Pilots of aircraft meeting RNP 10 navigation requirements must indicate /R at Item 10 of the ICAO
Flight Plan.
SEPARATION MINIMA
Lateral Separation Minima
A lateral separation minima of 60 NM will be applied between aircraft equipped in accordance
with RNP 10 navigation requirements, operating at FL290 or above, on ATS routes L644 and
M772. 50 NM lateral separation minima will be applied between aircraft which are approved for
RNP10 operations on ATS routes L625, L642, L649, M635, M767, M771, M774, N884 and N892.
When an aircraft not meeting the RNP 10 navigation requirements is approved to operate at or
above FL290, on the ATS routes shown above, vertical separation shall be applied with aircraft
operating on adjacent routes.
Longitudinal Separation
80 NM RNAV or 10 minutes (or less) Mach Number Technique (MNT) separation minima may be
applied between aircraft.
50 NM longitudinal separation may be applied between RNP10 approved aircraft on ATS routes
L642, L762, M635, M767, M771, M774 and N884 which either LOGON to CPDLC or are within
VHF radio range.
Operations by Aircraft Not Meeting RNP 10 Requirements
An aircraft that is unable to meet the minimum navigational requirements for RNP 10 must file
flight plan at FL280 or below. Operations above FL280 for these aircraft will be subject to ATC
approval, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph below.
Pilots of such aircraft wishing to operate on ATS routes listed 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.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1298
SINGAPORE
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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 listed
above, at or above FL290, will coordinate with adjacent ATC units affected by the flight. In decid-
ing whether or not to approve the flight, each ATC unit will take into consideration:
a. traffic density;
b. communications, including the non-availability of normal communications facilities;
c. weather conditions enroute; and
d. any other factors pertinent at the time.
LOGON PROCEDURES
The AFN LOGON address for the Singapore FIR is WSJC.
To avoid automatic rejection of the LOGON, the flight identification number used by the pilot in the
LOGON process must be identical to the flight identification number filed in the flight plan.
A LOGON must be received from the aircraft before any data link connections can be initiated by
the ground system. This is achieved via the ATS facility notification (AFN) LOGON process to be
initiated by the pilot in accordance with company procedures.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1299
SINGAPORE
RULES AND 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
CPDLC instead of HF RTF. When using CPDLC, the primary and secondary HF voice frequen-
cies will be used as the back-up communications medium.
To ensure the correct synchronization of messages, controller/pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC
must be closed by CPDLC. Controller/pilot dialogues opened by voice must be closed by voice.
Due to inherent integrity checks and a coded reference to any preceding related message con-
tained within CPDLC messages, a clearance issued by CPDLC requires only the appropriate
CPDLC response, not a read-back as would be required if the clearance had been issued by
voice.
The down link response “WILCO” indicates that the pilot accepts the full terms of the whole uplink
message.
A down link response “AFFIRM” is not an acceptable acknowledgement or reply to a CLEAR-
ANCE issued by CPDLC.
To avoid ambiguity in message handling and response, a CPDLC downlink message should not
contain more than one clearance request.
If multiple clearance requests are contained in a single downlink message and the controller
cannot approve all requests, the uplink message element “UNABLE” will be sent as a response to
the entire message. A separate message containing a response to those requests that can be
complied with will be sent by the controller.
If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarification must be sought by
voice.
Standard pre-formatted message elements must be used whenever possible. Free text messages
should be used only when an appropriate pre-formatted message element does not exist or to
supplement the pre-formatted message element. The use of free text should be kept to a mini-
mum.
When CPDLC connection is established, aircraft will be instructed to transfer from voice to
CPDLC. The phraseology used is:
TRANSFER TO SINGAPORE CONTROL ON DATA LINK [position];
MONITOR [HF frequency primary/secondary].
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1300
SINGAPORE
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Pilots should down link a CPDLC position report upon position over first compulsory reporting
point when aircraft enters Singapore FIR. Pilots are also required to make AIREPs at ATS/MET
reporting points using CPDLC regardless of ADS connection.
CPDLC connections will be terminated at the FIR boundary position or when entering radar cover-
age. The CONTACT [unit name] [frequency] message and the END SERVICE message will be
sent as separate messages. The END SERVICE message will be sent as soon as possible after
receipt of the WILCO response to the CONTACT message.
APPLICATION OF ADS
ADS Periodic contracts will be established automatically on receipt of a LOGON.
The Periodic reporting rate is 10 minutes for aircraft operating outside radar coverage and 20
minutes for aircraft operating within radar coverage.
For ADS logged-on aircraft, CPDLC position reports are not required except when the following
event occurs:
a. upon position over first compulsory reporting point when aircraft enters Singapore FIR;
b. aircraft at ATS/MET reporting point.
ADS contracts will be terminated automatically at a system parameter time after the aircraft has
left the Singapore FIR.
RCP240 and RSP180 performance specifications shall be required for the application of the Per-
formance-Based Longitudinal Separation minima.
Otherwise, 80 NM RNAV or 10 minutes (or less) Mach Number Technique (MNT) separation
minima may be applied between aircraft in situation where DCPC could not be maintained or
when RCP240/RSP180 performance requirement could not be complied.
For details of PBCS refer to Jeppesen ATC — PERFORMANCE BASED COMMUNICATION
AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS) — DOC 9869.
FLAS for Large Scale Weather Deviations (LSWD) in Western Pacific / South China Sea Area as

P628 and P574 will be cleared to FL280. Succeeding aircraft on the same route will be cleared to
FL280 with 10 minutes longitudinal separation provided there is no closing speed with the preced-
ing aircraft. Additional longitudinal separation as appropriate shall be provided by ATC for the
faster aircraft following a slower aircraft on the same route.
For aircraft on N571 or N571/N877, the first aircraft from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to be over
GUNIP can expect its requested flight level.
For aircraft on M770, the first aircraft from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to be over the Kuala
Lumpur / Bangkok FIR boundary can expect its requested flight level.
For aircraft on L759, the first aircraft from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to be over the Kuala
Lumpur / Bangkok FIR boundary can expect its requested flight level.
For aircraft on P628, the first aircraft from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to be over VPL can expect
its requested flight level.
For aircraft going beyond Medan on ATS route L762, FL280 and FL300 may be assigned. Suc-
ceeding aircraft on the same route will be cleared to FL280 or FL300 with 10 minutes longitudinal
separation provided there is no closing speed with the preceding aircraft. Additional longitudinal
separation as appropriate shall be provided by ATC for the faster aircraft following a slower air-
craft on the same route.
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.

request.
Flights Exempted from BOBCAT ATFM
The following flights are exempted from BOBCAT ATFM procedures:
a. Flights experiencing an emergency, including aircraft subjected to unlawful interference;
b. Flights in search and rescue or fire-fighting missions;
c. Urgent medical evacuation flights specifically declared by medical authorities where flight
delays would put the life of patients at risk;
d. Flights with “Head of State” status.
NOTE: After medical flights have completed their mission; they should be subject to ATFM
measures. Scheduled passenger transfer flights are, by nature, non-urgent and should not
be given priority under normal operational situation.
Flights exempted from ATFM procedures shall indicate the exemption in their flight plan (Field 18
– ATFM EXMP).
Mandatory CTOT and KABUL FIR Slot Allocation
Affected flights shall obtain the mandatory Kabul FIR slot allocation – CTOT, CTO at Kabul FIR
entry fix, and allocated flight level and ATS route from the BOBCAT system. The Kabul FIR slot
allocation will enable ANSPs to tactically control westbound flights transiting the Kabul FIR at
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1323

RULES AND PROCEDURES
specified times by assigning minimum spacing requirements at established gateway fix points in
the vicinity of the eastern boundary of the Kabul FIR.
The application, calculation, and distribution of CTOT and associated Kabul FIR entry fix slot allo-
cations will be managed via internet access to the BOBCAT system in accordance with the
BOBCAT ATFM operation procedure.
BOBCAT ATFM Operating Procedures
All affected flights are required to submit slot requests to the BOBCAT system by logging into
https://www.bobcat.aero between 0001 and 1159 UTC on the day of flight and completing the
electronic templates provided.
Slot Allocation Process
The slot allocation is divided into 3 phases, namely; the slot request submission, initial slot alloca-
tion, and slot distribution to aircraft operators and ANSPs.
a. Slot Request Submission
– Slot requests including preferred ATS route, flight level and Maximum Acceptable Delay
(MAD) should be lodged between 0001 UTC and 1159 UTC on the day of flight. Slot
requests may subsequently be amended prior to the cut-off time of 1200UTC. Aircraft
operators are encouraged to submit additional slot request options in case their first
choice is not available. This may include variations to ATS route, flight level and MADS.
– Slot requests shall be for flight parameters that are able to be met by the flight. Flight sub-
sequently unable to meet slot parameters (flight level, ATS route, or CTO at entry fix)
should expect non-preferred routes and/or flight levels, enroute holding and/or diversion
around Kabul FIR.
– As BOBCAT will allocate FL280 on a priority basis to facilitate departures from northern
India and Pakistan underneath over-flying traffic, flights departing these airports are
encouraged to include FL280 as at least one slot request preference.
– Flights that were not allocated a slot in the initial slot allocation, are not satisfied with the
allocated slot or did not submit a slot request should select slots from the listing of remain-
ing unallocated slots available immediately after slot distribution has been completed.
b. Slot Allocation and Distribution
– Slot allocation will commence at the cut-off time of 1200 UTC. BOBCAT will process and
generate the slot allocation based on the information submitted in the slot requests. Notifi-
cation of slot allocation will be made not later than 1230UTC via the ATFMU website.
Alternative arrangements for notification of slot distribution (e.g. Fax, Telephone, and e-
mail) should be coordinated with the ATFMU.
Submission of ATS Flight Plan
a. Once aircraft operators are in receipt of the slot allocation, they shall submit the ATS flight
plan using the time, ATS route and flight level parameters of the BOBCAT allocated slot.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1324
THAILAND
RULES AND PROCEDURES
b. In addition to normal AFTN addressees, operators should also address flight plan (FPL) and
related ATS messages (e.g. DLA, CNL, CHG) to the ATFMU via AFTN address VTBBZDZX
for all flights that have submitted a slot request.
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for NOTAMs
regarding any planned activities that may affect slot availability (e.g. reservation of airspace/
closure of airspace, non-availability of routes, etc).
Bangkok ATFMU (VTBBZDZX) shall be included in the list of AFTN addressees for ATS mes-
sages (e.g. FPL, DEP, DLA, CHG, CNL) relating to flights subject to ATFM procedures.
Re-Routing Scenarios
Rerouting of Westbound Flight on L759 to M770 for Night Time Traffic from Southeast Asia
to Europe
It is recognized that there may be congestion / aircraft bunching prior to entering the Bay of
Bengal on ATS Route L759 as westbound flight towards European destinations would be limited
to FL280 – FL340, while available flight levels in Kabul FIR includes all westbound flights from
FL280 to FL400.
Accordingly, flights planned on route L759 between PUT-BBS (Chennai FIR) maybe re-routed
onto M770 via “PUT L515 OBMOG M770 BUBKO N895 BBS L759” under following conditions:
a. If longitudinal separation cannot be achieved or maintained in relation to preceding traffic on
the flight planned route L759 between PUT – BBS over the Bay of Bengal;
b. When, by using the flight planned route L759, an aircraft would suffer an unacceptable lower
flight level; and
c. In concurrence with the flight crew, the Bangkok ACC shall assign alternative parallel route
M770 or lower acceptable level on L759 to affected flights enabling a better chance of
obtaining the ATFM slot allocation in the Kabul FIR.
Flight crews and dispatchers are encouraged to become fully conversant with the L759 re-routing
scenario and are advised to take appropriate proceedings to enable affected flights to proceed via
M770 when necessary.

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:
Mean of Compliance to AMC 20-24 (Certification Considerations for the Enhanced ATS in Non-
radar areas using ADS-B Surveillance ‘ADS-B NRA’) or meets equipment configuration standards
in Appendix XI of Civil Aviation Order 20.18 of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (not
published herein).
Aircraft operator must have the relevant operational approval from the State of Registry.
02 ATS routes L642, M771: applied radar separation. Aircraft that does not comply with the
requirements stipulated in the above paragraphs will not be accorded priority and can be
assigned appropriate flight level below FL290 in accordance with the assigned flight level by ACC
of the adjacent FIR.
06 ATS routes L625, N892, M765, M768, N500 and L628: applied radar separation within the
area of radar coverage; ADS-B separation will be applied within the area out of radar coverage.
However, the aircraft operating on these ATS routes without ADS-B operational approval can be
assigned appropriate flight level above FL290 subject to operational conditions and traffic man-
agement considerations.
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
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - FAR EAST 1333
VIETNAM
RULES AND PROCEDURES
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.
Inflight Contingencies
The pilot-in-command, upon awareness of an onboard ADS-B equipment failure, must inform
ATC as soon as possible. ATC would then provide the necessary clearance to ensure separation
with other flights operating on the specified ATS routes.
ADS-B OUT equipped aircraft must meet the requirements in TSO-C166b or EASA AMC 20-24,
EASA CS-ACNS, CASA AUS ATSCO-C100 or other standards approved by CAAV.
In the period of 2017–2018, the minimum ADS-B separation within Ha Noi FIR, which is compati-
ble with radar separation, will be applied as follows:
+ 10 NM for enroute; and
+ 5 NM for approach.
In case aircraft does not meet ADS-B requirements, ATC units shall apply the conventional sepa-
ration methods. The reduction of minimum ATS separation standard shall be notified by CAAV.
For security reasons, civil aircraft operating VIP flights without ADS-B OUT operation shall specify
this detail in the relevant flight permission application (and the appropriate authorities of Vietnam
shall also state this detail in flight permission) to notify ATS units for having alternative ATS sepa-
ration solutions to ensure flight safety.
When STAR is terminated, aircraft shall be radar vectored to intercept localizer for ILS approach
procedure or other approach procedures.
Conventional SID/STAR shall still be applied for aircraft which is non-RNAV 1 compliant. Those
aircraft shall advise ATC before entering Noi Bai TMA and can expect radar vector or conven-
tional procedure operations. Those aircraft should expect delays or extended routings during peak
hours.
ARRIVALS
Procedure Using Merge Point
Noi Bai PMS is designed including 2 PMS: Northern PMS and Southern PMS. Each PMS
includes one Merge Point (SUDON in the North, SONTA in the South) and two parallel legs which
are 20 NM (inner sequencing leg) and 20.3 NM (outer sequencing leg) from “Merge Point” respec-
tively with 4 entry points as follows:
– HOBIN: Is entry point for each inbound flow from the South of Noi Bai TMA (Q2);
– KHARO: Is entry point for each inbound flow from the West of Noi Bai TMA (W4, B214, B465,
R474);
– THOLA: Is entry point for each inbound flow from the North-West of Noi Bai TMA (W22);
– LIMIN: Is entry point for each inbound flow from the North-East of Noi Bai TMA (R474, R471).
Each “sequencing leg” consists of 4 waypoints: entry waypoint, exit waypoint and two middle way-
points. Vertical separation between “sequencing legs” should be 2000 ft. Waypoints naming and
altitude restrictions of “sequencing leg” are as follows:
a. For Southern PMS:
– Name of waypoints: Except names of entry waypoints mentioned above, two middle way-
points and exit waypoint on “sequencing leg” are named as “NB37x”, in which “x” can be
1, 2, 3 for inner-arc and 4, 5, 6 for outer-arc.
– Altitude restriction: from FL130 and above for inner-arc, up to FL110 for outer-arc.
b. For Northern PMS:
– Name of waypoints: Except name of entry waypoints mentioned above, two middle way-
points and exit waypoint on “sequencing leg” are named as “NB38x”, in which “x” can be
1, 2, 3 for inner-arc and 4, 5, 6 for outer-arc.
– Altitude restriction: from FL140 and above for inner-arc, up to FL120 for outer-arc.
Procedure method to control arrival aircraft using PMS is detailed at page AIRAC AIP SUP
A01/17-19.
Procedures for arriving aircraft consist of two main elements:
– Transition route (if applicable); and
– STAR
A transition route starts at a waypoint on the airway to the waypoint that starts the STAR.

– STAR identifier;
– Transition point identifier (if applicable);
– Runway‐in‐use;
– Assigned flight level/altitude.
Trombone Procedure
Introduction of Trombone
The Trombone procedure is designed based on radar vectoring by ATC. It shares a number of
similar characteristics to those used within the Point Merge procedure.

When an approach clearance is received, all altitude restrictions on the procedure profile
remain mandatory, unless specifically cancelled by ATC.
SPEED CONTROL
In order to facilitate the flow of arriving aircraft within Noi Bai TMA, speed control is used to opti-
mize the spacing between aircraft and improve the orderly flow of air traffic.
If unable to conform with these procedures, pilots should immediately inform ATC and state what
speed will be used.
At other times, speed adjustment may be applied on a tactical basic to the extent determined by
ATC. When speed adjustment is no longer required, the phraseology “Resume normal speed”
shall be used.
NOTE: The phrase “Resume normal speed” does not delete speed restrictions that are applicable
to these procedures in upcoming segments of flight.
ATC shall notify that the aircraft may keep its preferred speed without restrictions and shall use
the phraseology “No (ATC) speed restrictions”.
Speed restriction within Noi Bai TMA are as follows:
– Aircraft under FL100: Maximum speed 250 kt (IAS).
– Aircraft entering “sequencing legs”: Maximum speed 250 kt (IAS).
– Aircraft entering “merge point”: Maximum speed 220 kt (IAS).
– Arrival aircraft is 12 NM (track mile) from touchdown: Speed 200 kt (IAS).
– Arrival aircraft is 5 NM (track mile) from touchdown: Speed 160 kt (IAS).
HOLDING PROCEDURES
Holdings are designed to facilitate holding aircraft for delay to achieve required spacing between
arriving aircraft in case of increasing density of flight operation, having military flight operation and
bad weather within Noi Bai TMA, etc. The associated holdings and procedures are listed below:

b. scheduled international air services that land in Australian territory but do not set down or
take on passengers or cargo for reward or hire;
c. scheduled international air services operated in accordance with an agreement, between an
international airline and the holder of an international airline license, that the Secretary has
approved in writing.
2.2.3 An International Airline License shall not be granted to an international airline of a country
other than Australia unless that country and Australia are parties to the Air Transit Agreement, or
to some other agreement or arrangement, whether bilateral or multi-lateral under which scheduled
international air services of that other country may, subject to the agreement or arrangement, be
operated over or into Australian territory.
2.2.4 Applicants for an International Airline License may obtain a copy of Guidance Notes for
Applicants at: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/international/ial/index.aspx.
2.2.5 All holders of International Airline Licences are required to notify the Secretary of the
Department of Infrastructure in an approved form of any new or changed international (scheduled)
air service. The requirements for lodging of timetables by international airlines are set out in Air
Navigation Regulation 2016, Section 29 (not published herein).
2.2.6 Currently, a timetable application should contain the route to be operated by the airline
both into and out of Australia, the origin, intermediate and destination points, the times of depar-
ture to and arrival from these points, the frequency of each service, flight numbers, aircraft type
and capacity to be used on each service. It should also include code share details and, if leasing
aircraft from another airline, details of which airline the aircraft are leased from. An application for
approval of a timetable must be lodged with the Secretary not less than 35 days before the date
from which the airline proposes to operate the service in accordance with the timetable, or within
such shorter period as the Secretary allows. Should an airline wish to lodge an application in less
than the 35 day period, it should provide its reasons for wanting to do so. For practical purposes,
lodgement “with the Secretary” means lodgement with the General Manager of the Aviation Indus-
try Policy Branch, DIT.
2.2.7 In addition to an Australian International Airline Licence, an operator of a proposed sched-
uled service to Australia is required to hold an Australian Foreign aircraft Air Operator’s Certificate

5.2.4 Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Biosecurity Requirements
The Quarantine Act 1908 was repealed on 16 June 2016 and replaced by the Biosecurity Act
2015. The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and its officers are now undertaking
functions and duties and exercising powers pursuant to the Biosecurity Act 2015.
Detailed information about the biosecurity requirements for overseas aircraft can be found in the
“Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Guidelines for Airline and Aircraft Operators
Arriving in Australia” document that can be found on the Department of Agriculture and Water
Resources website at: http://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/avm/aircraft/guidelines-operators.
5.2.4.1 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 Human Biosecurity.
The following disinsection options are available to airline operators to meet Australia’s cabin and
hold disinsection requirements—
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1374
AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW
Disinsection Approved Agreements with either the Department of Agriculture and Water Resour-
ces or the Ministry of Primary Industries New Zealand (MPI) are required for the residual or pre-
embarkation methods.
Refer to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources website or MPI website for further
information on disinsection: ‘Schedule of aircraft disinsection procedures for flights into Australia
and New Zealand’.
5.2.4.2 Pre-arrival Reporting Requirements. Prior to arrival at a first point of entry in Australia,
the commander of an international aircraft (or, if the commander is not the operator of the aircraft,
the operator of the international aircraft) will advise the Department of Agriculture and Water
Resources of the following:
a. Details of any person onboard the aircraft who has, or has had signs or symptoms of a listed
human disease during the flight;
b. Details of any person on board the aircraft who died during the flight;
c. If there are animals or plants (or both) in the cabin of the aircraft – that fact;
d. If any animal died in cabin of the aircraft during the flight – that fact; and
e. If the aircraft is an incoming aircraft and the prescribed disinsection measures for the aircraft
have not been taken, or will not have been taken, before the aircraft arrives at its first landing
place in Australian territory – that fact.
5.2.4.3 The commander of an aircraft on a non-scheduled flight, or through an authorized
ground handling agent, must report the following additional information without exception:
a. Information identifying the aircraft;
b. The intended first landing place of the aircraft in Australian territory;
c. The estimated day and time of arrival of the aircraft at the place referred to in paragraph b;
d. The name and contact details of;
1. the operator of the aircraft; and
2. if the operator is not the owner of the aircraft

AUSTRALIA
ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW
Commanders are also required to report any changes to this status that occur after submitting the
pre-arrival report.
The operator of the vessel or aircraft is responsible for requesting medical or ambulance services.
The operator of an aircraft or vessel is legally responsible for ensuring the Department of Agricul-
ture and Water Resources is notified. Failure to report ill travellers or death on board an aircraft is
an offense under the Biosecurity Act 2015 and can lead to the application of additional reporting
requirements, revoking positive pratique, fines or possible imprisonment.
5.2.4.7 Pratique is the granting of permission to disembark and unload baggage and cargo
based on the absence of disease in the passengers and crew. Aircraft entering Australia operate
under a system of (automatic) positive pratique. Under this system permission to disembark and
unload cargo and baggage is automatically granted, unless any of the following applies:
a. the prescribed disinsection measures for the aircraft have not been undertaken;
b. the aircraft has reported an individual as having, or having had, signs or symptoms of a listed
human disease, or an individual has died during the flight;
c. a human biosecurity official or a biosecurity official believes an individual on the flight is dis-
playing signs or symptoms of a listed human disease, has been exposed to a listed human
disease; or has died during the flight; or
d. a pre-arrival report consistent with 5.2.4.2 was not provided.
Any aircraft not entering under (automatic) positive pratique, will be met on arrival by a biosecurity
officer. All passengers and crew must remain onboard until pratique is granted by this officer.
When the biosecurity officer is satisfied that there are no further biosecurity issues, he/she will
verbally grant pratique and advise that disembarkation and the unloading of baggage and cargo
may commence. Regardless of whether an aircraft enters Australian territory on a scheduled or
non-scheduled flight, a biosecurity officer will meet an aircraft on arrival if:
a. the aircraft is not the subject of an approved arrangement with the department for aircraft
disinsection, or
b. the aircraft is the subject of an approved arrangement with the department for aircraft disin-
section; however, the airline has not updated the Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) data-
base with the residual disinsection details for the arriving aircraft, or
c. the waste service provider attending the aircraft has not entered into an approved arrange-
ment with the department.
5.2.4.8 All cabin, galley and hold biosecurity waste onboard the aircraft must be collected, trans-
ported, stored and/or treated by either a service provider that has entered into an approved
arrangement with the department or a service provider under the department’s supervision on a
fee for service basis. Biosecurity waste may include refuse and sweepings from galley, accommo-
dation, cabin and hold areas of the aircraft; any unconsumed and partly consumed foods includ-
ing prepared meals; any non-washable items, other waste or materials that may have come in
contact with biosecurity waste; animal or plant waste; or materials used to pack or stabilize impor-
ted goods.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1377

ENTRY, TRANSIT AND DEPARTURE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW
5.2.4.9 The commander of an aircraft arriving in Australian territory must ensure the aircraft is
free from biosecurity waste before the aircraft is moved further within Australian territory, unless
prior approval has been given by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources.
5.2.4.10 Biosecurity In-flight Announcement. Prior to arrival in Australia, commanders of all
international aircraft must provide to all travelling passengers and crew an approved in-flight
announcement which outlines Australia’s biosecurity requirements. The audio announcement is
available in a number of formats and languages on the Department of Agriculture and Water
Resources website. If the audio message cannot be played, commanders must ensure that their
crew make a verbal in-flight announcement prior to arrival in Australia. The delivery of the
announcement is a legal requirement under Australian law. The approved announcement must
not be edited.
5.2.4.11 All persons (passengers and crew) arriving in Australia must have the following docu-
ments ready for examination by a biosecurity officer and an ABF Officer when requested:
a. An Immigration Incoming Passenger Card (although this is an Immigration document, it may
facilitate health clearances).
b. A valid International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis against yellow fever (if in the
last six days they have visited a yellow fever declared country for overnight or longer). A
valid certificate is consistent with the requirements in Annex 6 of the International Health
Regulations (2005).
5.2.4.12 For ill passengers who are in transit through Australia the requirements are the same
as for those entering Australia. Passengers in transit are not permitted to leave the transit area
other than for actual boarding of their outward flight. If the time between arrival and departure
allows, and if it is determined to be advisable, the person may either be isolated in a biosecurity
facility (i.e. an airport health room) or be allowed restricted access to airport facilities and wait
areas as advised by Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biosecurity officers.
5.2.4.13 Passengers and crew will pass from the aircraft to the ABF Entry Control Point where
the vaccination certificates will be assessed.
The following goods must not be imported into Australia unless the relevant import conditions
have been met as outlined in the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Import Condi-
tions Database (BICON):
a. all animals (including birds and reptiles) and animal products;
b. cultures of micro-organisms capable of causing human disease and goods of biological
origin and other infectious agents;
c. foodstuffs of animal origin, including meat, poultry, sausages, eggs, cheese and milk;
d. plants and plant products (e.g. wooden articles, flowers, seeds, fruit and vegetables);
e. fungi;
f. human remains, fluids and tissues.
NOTE: Any goods brought or imported into Australia not meeting import conditions may be trea-
ted, exported or forfeited to the Commonwealth for disposal.

Australia is free from many diseases, pests and weeds which cause serious damage in other
parts of the world. The cooperation of all air crews and passengers is sought in preserving this.
5.2.4.16 The Biosecurity (First Point of Entry) Determinations 2016 details the first points of
entry into Australia through which animals, plants and other kinds of goods may enter Australia.
5.2.4.17 Although Australia has no vaccination requirements for departure, travellers will have to
satisfy the requirements of countries to, or through which, they travel. Travellers should, therefore,
consult the airline, a reputable travel medicine organization, or the official representatives of the
countries concerned regarding the necessity for vaccinations.

gration and Border Protection will issue a certificate of clearance to the pilot of the aircraft upon
completion of all reporting formalities (actual arrival report, report of stores and prohibited goods
and departure report). The certificate of clearance gives permission for the aircraft to depart the
airport.
5.4.3.2 When aircraft landing in Australia are in transit, the pilot-in-command or authorized agent
will present documents for inward clearance as set out in paragraph 5.4.1 of this section. The
ABF Officer will, where necessary, sign and stamp the General Declaration presented on arrival in
Australia and return it to the pilot-in-command. A certificate of clearance will be provided to the
pilot upon completion of all reporting formalities and permits the aircraft to depart the airport.
5.4.4 Currency
5.4.4.1 There is no limit to the amount of currency (notes and coins) that may be brought into, or
taken out of, Australia. However, if persons are carrying currency of AU$10,000 or more (or the
foreign equivalent) into or out of Australia, they must declare this fact to an ABF Officer. Cross-
Border Movement-Physical Currency (CBM-PC) reporting forms are available from the Australian
Border Force on request.
NOTE: If an ABF Officer or police officer asks, you must report traveler’s checks, checks, money
orders, or other bearer negotiable instruments of any amount.
5.4.5 Passenger Examination
5.4.5.1 The baggage of outward passengers may be subject to Customs examination. A cur-
rency report mentioned in paragraph 5.4.4.1 above, where applicable, must be presented to the

5.4.6 Passenger Movement Charge (PMC)
5.4.6.1 Passengers departing Australia are required to, subject to exemptions, pay the Passen-
ger Movement Charge whether ticketed or not.
5.4.7 Department of Immigration and Border Protection Publications
5.4.7.1 Information for visitors can be found on the Department’s website via https://
www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visi/Info.
6.1.2 Passengers disembarking in Australia (i.e., leaving the transit area) from such a through-
flight must present travel documents, visas, Incoming Passenger Cards and airline tickets evi-
dencing confirmed onward booking to a third country.
6.1.3 Operators should note that a “through-flight” in this context is as defined in Chapter 1 –
Definitions and Applicability, of ICAO Annex 9 (Facilitation) to the Convention on International
Civil Aviation, viz:
“Through-Flight. A particular operation of aircraft, identified by the operator by the use through-
out of the same symbol from point of origin via any intermediate points to point of destination.”
6.1.4 The “through-flight” definition implies a single operator and does not prevent the use of
more than one aircraft for a through-flight. The recording of dual flight numbers, when applicable,
should satisfy, for local purposes, the requirements of the definition in so far as retention of “the
same symbol” from point of origin to point of destination is concerned.
6.1.5 Where international passengers leave the transit area and transfer to another international
flight at the same airport, Incoming Passenger Cards, and passport/travel documents and visas
(unless within the exempt categories; see paragraphs 5.3.4.2) are required to be presented.
7.2.1.2 When a landing is to be made by an international aircraft at any of the alternate airports
listed above, the Network Coordination Centre in Airservices Australia will notify the ABF Strategic
Border Command Centre (SBCC) in the Department of Immigration and Border protection. SBCC
will notify its relevant Regional Command Centre and the Department of Agriculture and Water
Resources. Procedures effective for each of the designated alternate airports will be as follows:
7.2.2 Alice Springs Airport
7.2.2.1 Biosecurity. Biosecurity officers of the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
are not permanently stationed at Alice Springs and this airport is serviced for international arrivals
under a request for service arrangement. The Airline or its agent/representatives may be respon-
sible for covering additional expenses relating to the positioning of biosecurity resources.
Animals and plants may not be landed at this airport unless an application has been made under
section 146 of the Biosecurity Act 2015.
7.2.2.2 Customs and Immigration. ABF Officers of the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection are not stationed permanently at Alice Springs Airport. Where safe to do so, it is pref-
erable that crew and passengers remain on board the aircraft so they do not have to undergo
security clearance when the flight resumes to the original airport of destination. The pilot may dis-
embark to perform the necessary safety inspections. An airline representative may board with rel-
evant documents. The relevant District Office or a Local Area Command in the ABF will be estab-
lished and be responsible for coordinating the border agency response. It will establish ongoing
communication with the airports, airline, Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biose-
curity officers and Federal or State police if required. This will allow an assessment to be made as
to whether there is a need for a border agency presence or if other action is required.
An officer of the Northern Territory police (ABF representative) will have the responsibility to exer-
cise surveillance over the aircraft while it is at the airport.
7.2.2.3 For onward movement of the aircraft, see paragraph 7.1.2.

7.2.11.2 Customs and Immigration. ABF Officers of the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection are not stationed at Rockhampton Airport. Where safe to do so, it is preferable that
crew and passengers remain on board the aircraft so they do not have to undergo security clear-
ance when the flight resumes to the original airport of destination. The pilot may disembark to per-
form the necessary safety inspections. An airline representative may board with the relevant
documents. The relevant District Office or a Local Area Command in the ABF will be established
and be responsible for coordinating the border agency response. It will establish ongoing commu-
nication with the airport, airline, Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biosecurity offi-
cers and Federal or State police if required. This will allow an assessment to be made as to
whether there is a need for border agency presence or if other action is required.
7.2.11.3 For onward movement of the aircraft, see paragraph 7.1.2.
7.2.12 Tindal Airport
7.2.12.1 Biosecurity. Biosecurity officers of the Department of Agriculture and Water Resour-
ces are not stationed permanently at Tindal and this airport is serviced for international arrivals
under a request for service arrangement. The Airline or its agent/representatives may be respon-
sible for covering additional expenses relating to the positioning of biosecurity resources to Tindal.
No plants, animals or goods of any kind may be landed unless an exemption has been granted
prior to the flight under section 146 of the Biosecurity Act 2015.
7.2.12.2 Customs and Immigration. ABF Officers of the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection are not stationed at Tindal Airport. Where safe to do so, it is preferable that crew and
passengers remain on board the aircraft so they do not have to undergo security clearance when
the flight resumes to the original airport of destination. The pilot may disembark to perform the
necessary safety inspections. An airline representative/RAAF personnel may board with the rele-
vant documents. The relevant District Office or a Local Area Command in the ABF will be estab-
lished and be responsible for coordinating the border agency response. It will establish ongoing
communication with the airport, airline, Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biosecur-
ity officers and Federal or State police if required. This will allow an assessment to be made as to
whether there is a need for border agency presence or if other action is required.
7.2.12.3 For onward movement of the aircraft, see paragraph 7.1.2.
7.2.13 Townsville Airport
7.2.13.1 Biosecurity, Customs and Immigration. Biosecurity officers of the Department of
Agriculture and Water Resources and ABF Officers of the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection are stationed at Townsville but not at Townsville Airport. Where safe to do so, it is pref-
erable that crew and passengers remain on board the aircraft so they do not have to undergo
security clearance when the flight resumes to the original airport of destination. The pilot may dis-
embark to perform the necessary safety inspections. An airline representative may board with the
relevant documents. The Townsville District Office of the ABF will be responsible for coordinating
the border agency response. It will establish ongoing communication with the airport, airline,
Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biosecurity officers and Federal or State police if
required. This will allow an assessment to be made as to whether there is a need for border
agency presence or if other action is required.

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 an aircraft and that will be kept on board the aircraft.
The carrier (airline) is required, as the first cargo reporter, to report to Department of Immigration
and Border Protection the full detail of cargo for which they are directly responsible. They are also
required to notify Department of Immigration 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 Depart-
ment of Immigration and Border Protection, the particulars of the aircraft’s stores and of any pro-
hibited goods contained in those stores at the time of arrival. The report of aircraft stores and pro-
hibited goods must be made within three (3) hours of the arrival of the aircraft or before the certifi-
cate of clearance is issued, whichever happens first.
10.1.4 Import declarations are used to clear goods with a value exceeding AUD$1,000 from
ABF control. Import declarations are communicated to Department of Immigration and Border
Protection electronically via the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) or by lodgement of a completed
import declaration form (B650) at an ABF counter.
10.1.5 A self-assessed clearance (SAC) declaration must be made for imported goods arriving
by air cargo valued at or below AUD$1,000.
10.1.6 All air cargo consignments of diplomatic and consular goods require a cargo report and, if
valued above AUD$1,000 an import declaration must be submitted to Department of Immigration
and Border Protection. All diplomatic and consular goods are exempt from duty and taxes and
cost recovery charges provided the goods meet all Department of Immigration and Border Protec-
tion and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Biosecurity legislative requirements
including the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations and Department of Agriculture and Water
Resources Biosecurity Regulations. The B615 form must be provided to Department of Immigra-
tion and Border Protection for the release of privileged imports from ABF 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.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DATA - AUSTRALIA 1408
AUSTRALIA
AERODROMES AND AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES CHARGES
Airservices levies flight-based charges to recover the cost associated with the provision of these
facilities and services from aircraft operators.
12.1.2 The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development (DoIRD) 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 state-
ment 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%

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

VISA REQUIREMENTS
All non-citizens are required to have a visa for travel 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 as visa labels ceased to be issued from 1 Septem-
ber 2015. Existence of a visa should be verified by airlines at check-in via Advance Passen-
ger 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:
Further information regarding these visas and the visa application process can be found at
www.border.gov.au. including authenticating Taiwanese passports.
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-
ing by sea).

NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
HEALTH
All persons (passengers and crew) arriving in Australia must have the following documents ready
for examination by a biosecurity officer and an Australian Border Force officer when requested:
a. An Immigration Incoming Passenger Card (although this is an immigration document, it may
facilitate health clearances).
b. A valid International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis against yellow fever (if in the
last six days a person has visited a yellow fever declared country for overnight or longer). A
valid certificate is consistent with the requirements in Annex 6 of the International Health
Regulations (2005).
c. 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 depar-
ture allows, and if it is determined to be advisable, the person may either be isolated in a
biosecurity facility (i.e. an airport health room) or be allowed restricted access to airport facili-
ties and wait areas as advised by Department of Agriculture and Water Resources biosecur-
ity officers.
Passengers and crew will pass from the aircraft to the ABF Entry Control Point where the vaccina-
tion certificates will be assessed.

NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
AVIATION SECURITY
The Office of Transport Security is Australia’s transport security regulator for aviation transport,
maritime transport and the offshore oil and gas industry. Its role is to make sure Australians and
our national interests are secure through regulation that supports industry and the community as
they carry out trade and travel activities.
Specifically this is done through administering the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 and the
Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003; education and collaboration;
informed policy advice and design; compliance and monitoring; and domestic and international
partnerships.
The OTS maintains a Transport Security Coordination Team (TSCT). Aviation security incidents
defined under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 must be reported to the TSCT by email at:
transport.security@infrastructure.gov.au or by telephone to 1300 791 581 (from within Australia)
or +61 2 6274 8187 (from overseas).
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 have an approved Transport
Security Program (TSP). A prescribed air service includes an air service with a certified maxi-
mum take-off weight greater than 5700kg 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.
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 serv-
ices are advised to submit a TSP as soon as practical in order that the intended commencement
of air services are not unintentionally affected. Guidance for the production and lodgement of a
TSP for assessment is available on the Department of Infrastructure website at: www.infrastruc-
ture.gov.au/transport/security. 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”.
b. if application has not been made or approved per above then the following information is
required:
1. the legal entity name of the aircraft operator;
2. the name and address of the aircraft operator;
3. the name and address of any engaged or intended ground handling agent;
4. the type and capacity of the aircraft;
5. whether the flight is a single charter or part of a scheduled or unscheduled program of
flights and the period in which it is intended to operate;
6. the nature of the aircraft operations (purpose of flight) including if the aircraft is carrying
cargo, the type of cargo;
7. the place/places where the flight/flights will originate (both external to Australia and

Airservices Australia is responsible for the provision of airway facilities and services in Australia.
The provision of airway facilities and services is managed on a commercial basis and Airservices
levies flight- based charges to recover the cost associated with the provision of these facilities and
services from aircraft operators.
The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development (DoIRD) 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 state-
ment 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) except:
a. flights that are notified as maintenance or test flights; and

c. Enroute charges — applies if all or any part of a flight operates under the IFR.
DoIRD 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
The Australian Government levies a Passenger Movement Charge (PMC), on all liable air and
sea passengers departing Australia for another country, whether or not the passenger intends to
return to Australia. The PMC is currently AUD$55 per passenger and will increase to AUD$60
from 1 July 2017. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (the Department), on
behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia, has administrative responsibility for the PMC.
The Department, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia, enters into voluntary “Arrange-
ments” with carriers (airlines, air charters and shipping operators) which impose an obligation on
the carrier to remit an amount which is equal to the PMC liability owed to the Commonwealth by
the departing person on board the aircraft or vessel. The collection of the PMC occurs at the time
a ticket is sold to the passenger and is forwarded to the Department by the carrier within specified
time frames. Arrangements with carriers removes the obligation for a passenger to pay the costs
directly to the Department.
Carriers are asked to enter into an “Arrangement” to collect and remit the charge. Information on
how to establish a PMC arrangement can be found on the Departmental website: www.bor-
der.gov.au/Busi/traveller-industry/passenger-movement-charge or, contact the Passenger Move-
ment Charge Administration Office by email: pmcadministration@border.gov.au, or telephone +61

Australian Border Force officer will collect the charge directly from each passenger, or from the
captain, or agent for each voyage for the total number of passengers at the place of departure. An
official receipt is provided after payment of the PMC has been collected.
Collect and Remit Passenger Movement Charge (PMC)

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
in a State party to the ICAO Convention, the application should be submitted through the aviation

present disinsection documents for any arrival disinsection. Aircraft with non-complying disinsec-
tion certificates or that have not been disinsected will be disinsected on arrival with passengers
and crew on board.
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.

1.4.2 The phrases shown in the table below should be used by the intercepting aircraft and
transmitted twice in the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph.
1.4.3 If any instructions received by radio from any sources conflict with those given by the inter-
cepting aircraft by visual signals, the intercepted aircraft should request immediate clarification
while continuing to comply with the visual instructions given by the intercepting aircraft.
1.4.4 If instructions received by radio from any sources conflict with those given by the intercept-
ing aircraft by radio, the intercepted aircraft should request immediate clarification while continu-
ing to comply with the radio instructions given by the intercepting aircraft.
1.4.5 The visual signals for use in the event of interception are detailed in Tables 1.2 and 1.3.
1 GENERAL
1.1 RFFS is provided at certain airports according to the type of aircraft normally using that air-
port and the frequency of aircraft operations.
2 AERODROME CATEGORY
2.1 RFFS 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 RFFS is available from all ATS units.
4 COMMUNICATIONS
4.1 RFFS EMERGENCY FREQUENCY
4.1.1 To enhance the safe management of emergency situations, a national RFFS 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?”

5 PROCEDURES
5.1 EMERGENCY PHASES
5.1.1 All ATS units have been designated as alerting posts and are responsible for the declara-
tion of the appropriate emergency phase.
5.1.2 Three phases of emergency have been established for classifying emergency situations
and are declared in accordance with the following paragraphs.
5.1.2.1 Uncertainty Phase (INCERFA) when:
a. doubt exists as to the safety of an aircraft and its occupants; or
b. an aircraft operating in accordance with SAR procedures fails to report and communication
checks fail to reveal any news of the aircraft; or
c. an aircraft is known or believed to be subject to irregular operations, namely, when it is expe-
riencing navigational, altitude or communication difficulties; or
d. an aircraft is about to make or has made a landing other than a forced landing, where the
position is in doubt, on an unprepared surface or on an aerodrome that is operationally
unsuitable; or
e. information is received that an aircraft is missing.
5.1.2.2 Alert Phase (ALERFA) when:

b. an aircraft fails to land within 5 minutes of having received a landing or approach clearance
and communication cannot be re-established with the aircraft; or
c. following an Uncertainty Phase, subsequent communication checks or enquiries fail to reveal
any news of the aircraft; or
d. information has been received that the operating efficiency of the aircraft has been impaired
to the extent that the safety of the aircraft may be affected; or
e. there is reason to believe that the safe conduct of a flight is in jeopardy; or
f. an aircraft operating in IMC or at night when it should not be.
5.1.2.3 Distress Phase (DETRESFA) when;
a. there is reasonable certainty that an aircraft and its occupants are threatened by grave and
imminent danger and require immediate assistance; or
b. an aircraft is known or believed to be subject to unlawful interference; or
c. following the Alert Phase there is the probability that an aircraft is in distress; or
d. the fuel on board is considered to be exhausted or insufficient to reach safety unless a SAR-
TIME has been notified; or

7.4 DITCHING
7.4.1 When a ditching is likely, the RCC will obtain the positions of ships along the aircraft’s
route and advise the pilot, and:
a. Attempts will be made to arrange a direct speech link or a rapid relay system between the
aircraft and a selected ship;
b. Weather reports, including sea conditions and a selected ditching heading, will be passed to
the aircraft; and
c. Arrangements may be made for ships to provide navigational assistance, lighting and reduce
the effects of the sea, swell or wind.
a. Remain in the vicinity or as directed otherwise and keep the aircraft, surface craft or dis-
tressed personnel in sight;
b. Turn on automatic emergency radio equipment unless:
1. accurate position fixing is possible; and
2. two-way communications exist with ATS.
c. Report the following information as applicable to the responsible ATS:
1. Type of aircraft or surface craft;
2. Location of distress incident in latitude and longitude, geographical point or bearing and
distance from some fixed point; and
3. Details regarding the number of personnel concerned, whether known to be afloat and
the apparent physical condition of survivors.
d. Alert coast and ship stations by transmitting on international distress frequencies 2182,
4125, 6215 or 8291 kHz.
e. Transmit on any frequency which will enable other craft to home to the distress location;
f. Call to surface craft to render assistance by use of maneuvers set out below or otherwise by
communication on 2182 or 4125 kHz, or 156.8 MHz (VHF channel 16);
g. Attempt to establish communication with the aircraft in distress when requested by ATC;
h. Before departing from the area, turn off automatic emergency radio equipment.
4 Yes or Affirmative Y
5 No or Negative N
If in doubt use International Symbol SOS
b. During the hours of darkness – by flashing the aircraft’s landing or navigation lights on or off
twice.
Lack of the above signal indicates that the message has not been understood.
The “GROUND - AIR VISUAL SIGNAL CODE FOR USE BY SURVIVORS” conforms to ICAO and
NATO standards.
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.
ATC — SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS contains details on Mercy Flights.
successive tracks flown by the search aircraft, and will be specified by the RCC as part of the
briefing or by the assessed visual range of the day.
11.2.1.1 Trackline Search — A trackline pattern is most often used in an initial reaction. It is
very suitable for use by an aircraft available at, or near, the time of a reported distress. The
assumptions made are that survivors will be found on, or close to, the planned route of the miss-
ing craft, that the distressed craft is easily discernible, or that survivors will be capable of signaling
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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1635
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE
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
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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1636
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE
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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1637
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE
c. On hearing the signal on the adjacent frequency, select and fly a heading which results in a
stronger signal. As the signal increases in strength, check further off frequency and descend
as required. At this stage it is most important that each track should be a straight line. Heli-
copter pilots should avoid any tendency to orbit a suspected site;
d. The accuracy of the homing will usually depend upon how far off frequency the signal can be
heard. It will be found that a signal being received on, for example, 121.3 or 121.7 MHz (over
land) will rise to a sharp peak only as the search aircraft passes over the beacon site at 500'
AGL. Where the terrain is heavily timbered such as a rain forest, helicopter pilots should
descend to lower levels and tune further off frequency to achieve greater accuracy. It is
important to use only information gained during straight and level flight;
e. Where the signal is irregular, it is usually because the beacon is located amongst obstacles
such as trees, rocks, wreckage, etc. The resultant radiation pattern is no longer circular and
the signal heard/signal fade principles no longer apply.
d. On arriving at the mid position, turn 90° and note the readings on the searchmeter. If the
meter readings decrease, turn 180° and proceed to determine two further positions of equal
signal strength then return to the mid position;
e. When it becomes apparent that the beacon is close, descend, if possible, to an altitude
approximately 2000' clearance above terrain within approximately 10 NM of the search air-
craft;
f. By continuing the boxing-in technique it should be possible to estimate the position of the
beacon to within an area of 24 square miles;
g. The beacon site may be located with greater accuracy by detuning the VHF receiver to
121.45 or 121.4 MHz while close to the transmitter and noting the position on the ground
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.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - AUSTRALIA 1640
AUSTRALIA
SEARCH AND RESCUE
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.
11.3.3.4 When the ratio between the beacon signal and the background hash begins to favor
the latter, alter heading until only a clear signal can be heard. The signal from the beacon should
be continuous with clarity improving as the search aircraft approaches the beacon.
11.3.3.5 Once a heading has been established, note the searchmeter readings. The readings
will increase as the aircraft approaches the beacon site reaching a maximum when about to over-
fly. The position of the beacon may be located with greater accuracy by progressively detuning
the VHF receiver to 121.3 or 121.7 MHz.

SEARCH AND RESCUE
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.

SURVIVAL
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Alone and injured, people have survived in almost impossible circumstances. The determi-
nation to beat the situation and the will to survive is the survivor's strongest weapons. Military
SAR will not give up searching for downed aircrew.
1.2 The peacetime priorities of survival are as listed below:
a. Protection: The elements of protection are:
1. First Aid – Breathing must be restarted within 3 minutes;
2. Clothing;
3. Shelter – In harsh weather a shelter will be required in less than 3 hours; and
4. Fire.
b. Location: Most survivors are located within 3 days.
c. Water: In Australia’s arid center water must be found within 3 days.
d. Food: Survival without food for at least 30 days is possible. Therefore, food is the lowest pri-
ority. Food information is contained in the JUNGLE SURVIVAL section.
1.3 Basic survival rules are outlined in the following sections:
a. Location.
b. First Aid;
c. Desert Survival;
d. Sea Survival;
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

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;

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 1677
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.
a. maintain the last assigned level(s) to the points specified, then climb to maintain the level(s)
in the current flight plan; or
b. if no points are specified, maintain the last assigned level, or minimum flight altitude if higher,
for five minutes, then climb to maintain the level(s) specified in the current flight plan.
Departure — Radar Vectors
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure on departure should:
a. maintain the last assigned vector for two minutes, and climb to minimum safe altitude if nec-
essary to maintain terrain clearance; and
b. proceed in accordance with the route specified in the current flight plan.
Arrival
On arrival, the pilot of an IFR aircraft experiencing communications failure should:
a. track to the destination aid/fix, or if none specified by ATC, the selected aid/fix for the known
or forecast RWY; and
b. if in receipt of an arrival clearance (STAR or equivalent clearance/procedure), track via the
clearance; and
c. commence descent to the initial approach altitude for the approach procedure in accordance
with the last acknowledged ATC clearance and then the standard operating procedures (i.e.
3° profile) or flight plan.
At or Within 25 NM from Destination
At or within 25 NM from destination, the pilot of an IFR aircraft experiencing communication failure
should:
a. arrive over the destination/selected aid/fix at the last assigned level at or as near as possible
to the expected approach time given by ATC, and commence approach; or
b. if too high, descend in the aid/fix holding pattern to a level convenient for approach; or
c. if on initial approach at the time of the communications failure but not cleared for the
approach, continue via the procedure and maintain the last assigned level until established
on final approach track, then commence approach; or
d. if too high:
1. if a holding pattern is established on the final approach track, descend in the holding
pattern to a level convenient for approach; or
2. if no holding pattern is established, carry out missed approach and position for another
approach, if specified diversion allows.
Radar Vectors on Arrival
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure while being radar vectored on
arrival should:

b. if on initial/intermediate approach, maintain the last assigned level until established on final
approach track, and then commence approach.
Diversion
If unable to achieve a landing following an approach, the pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences
communications failure should carry out a missed approach.
A second approach may be made if desired, provided a landing can be accomplished within 30
minutes of the expected approach time or the ETA, whichever is the latter. If this approach is
unsuccessful, the aircraft must divert to the alternate airport.
The pilot of an IFR aircraft that experiences communications failure while holding because of the
closure of the destination airport should hold until the divert time notified to ATC, and then depart
for the alternate airport.

GENERAL
In general, the Emergency, Unlawful Interference, Communications Failure, Interception and
Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the Standards, Recommended Practices

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.

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

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.

Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the Standards, Recommended Practices
and Procedures contained in ICAO Annexes and Documents.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
In the event of failure of two-way communications while operating on a radar frequency, the pilot
shall change to any other alternative ATC frequency and request instructions.
If able to receive but not transmit, the pilot shall remain on the frequency on which he has been
communicating and comply with instructions issued by the radar controller designed to establish
that the aircraft is receiving. If this is established, further instructions appropriate to the circum-
stances will be issued.
If unable to make contact on the alternative frequencies, the pilot shall comply with the standard
radio failure procedures as specified below.
If total radio communication failure occurs in VMC during daylight hours, the pilot shall continue to
fly in VMC and land at the most suitable aerodrome.
If total communication failure occurs in IMC or in VMC during the hours between sunset and sun-
rise, ATC action is based on the assumption that the aircraft will continue to its destination and if
unable to land, will proceed to its nominated alternate.
In IMC, or if unable to maintain VFR, the pilot shall either leave or avoid controlled airspace and
areas of dense traffic and establish VFR operations or, alternatively, shall:
a. Proceed according to the current flight plan, at the last assigned flight level, to the clearance
limit and thereafter at the flight plan level;
b. Arrive at the destination as close as possible to the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
c. Commence descent as close as possible to estimated approach time (EAT) (or ETA if no
EAT has been acknowledged).

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;

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 1756
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.

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 1763
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
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1766
AUSTRALIA
C = Low Strength
D = Ultra-low Strength
d. The maximum tire pressure in Kpa and psi;
e. The method by which the pavement has been evaluated:
T = Technical evaluation
U = From aircraft experience
A coding example of the above parameters for the bearing strength of a rigid pavement, resting
on a medium strength sub-grade, assessed by technical evaluation to be PCN 80:
The parameters published for rated pavements for use by aircraft not above 5700kg maximum all-
up mass are:
a. The permissible aircraft gross mass in kilograms;
b. The maximum tire pressure in kilopascals.
NOTE: Mass in lbs and tire pressure in psi are also provided in parenthesis.
Pavement Concessions
The operation of an aircraft above the maximum masses and tire pressures is not permitted
unless a pavement concession is approved.
However, if the tire pressure exceeds that listed, the permissible pressure may be increased
using the factor obtained from the Permanent Tire Pressure Concessions graph below. If the
pressure requirements are then met, and provided that not more than four movements within a
seven day period are proposed for aircraft above 5700kg maximum gross mass, an aircraft may
use a pavement if its ACN for the appropriate type and subgrade strength does not exceed the
published PCN.
An operator of an aircraft requiring a pavement concession should apply to the airport operator.
AIRPORT DATA - AUSTRALIA 1767
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:
