I. The Aeropuerto Internacional Rodríguez BallOn
(Rodríguez BallO n International Airport) is located at
only eight kilometers from the city downtown, between
15-25 minutes away, depending on the chosen route.
It is the most important airport within Aeropuertos
Andinos and the third air terminal in number of users
(passenger flow) in the country, after Lima and Cusco
airports. In recent years, this airport has received
about one million passengers of which 10% is made
up of international tourists and foreign executives.
II. Its geographic location, offers domestic connections
with other regions of Peru as Tacna, Juliaca, Cusco,
and Lima, and international flights to Arica, Iquique,
Antofagasta and Santiago in Chile.
III. Its architecture evokes the Arequipa city due to the
use of vaults and ashlar in the construction. It has a
completely paved runway of almost three kilometers
in length that could receive a BOEING 747. The
runway lighting and the approach lighting system
provide total safety to night landings and takeoffs.

EQUIPMENTS USED IN Rodriguez Ballon
International Airport
SPECIFICATION;
ATC practices;
Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based
air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and
through controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services
to aircraft in non-controlled airspace.
1. Standard operating procedures apply.
2. SSR coverage is centered at the following locations:
a. Maracaibo, 120nm range
b. Barquisimeto, 180nm range
c. Maiquetia, 180nm range North only
d. Margarita, 180nm range.
3. Before entering an area covered by SSR, select Mode A/3
code 2000 if no code has been
Assigned. Flights encountering an emergency must maintain
the last assigned transponder code
Until instructed to do otherwise. In case of transponder Mode C
automatic altitude reporting equipment failure in flight, flights
may continue to the destination including an intermediate stop
or to an appropriate location where repairs can be made. A flight
may be authorized to depart without an Operating transponder if
the exemption is requested at least four hours in advance to the
ATC Facility in control of the airspace to be flown. The flight
must file the most expeditious path away from airspace where
transponder use is compulsory.

Alejandro Velasco Astete International
Airport (IATA: CUZ, ICAO: SPZO) is an international
airport located in the city of Cusco, in southeastern Peru.
Cusco, a principal tourist attraction in Latin America,
receives various domestic flights as well as some
international flights. The runway is completely paved. It
operates at limited capacity due to its precarious location
near the city's center. Despite these limitations, the airport
has consistently ranked as Peru's second most important
air terminal, handling 3,209,153 national and international
passengers in 2016, as reported by CORPAC.

4. VISUAL FLIGHT RULES VFR
Restrictions
Night Visual Flights are not allowed in the Venezuelan Airspace.
It is understood as night flights, those flights between airports
wherein the current departure time is after the sunset time for
these airports.
Fuel Requirements for VFR Flights
(a) No VFR flight shall be initiated unless that after considering
winds and weather conditions, the aircraft shall have enough
fuel for an additional 45 minutes of flight from the destination
airport, maintaining a normal cruise speed in flights inside of
the SVZM FIR.
(b) No Helicopter shall initiate any VFR Flight unless that after
considering wind and weather conditions, has enough fuel to
fly until the first established landing point, fly at least 20
additional minutes from this point, by keeping a normal cruise
speed.
Basic Minimal Weather Conditions for VFR Flights
If flight visibility is below the legal minimums of the
airspace whereby the aircraft is operating, the VFR flight
shall not be cleared.
Airspace: In spite of the provisions of paragraph (a) of this
section, the following operations might be carried out in a
Class Airspace below 1200 feet above ground level:
1. Helicopters: A helicopter may operate free of clouds
if operated to a speed which allows to the pilot a
timely response in case of any evasive maneuver.
No aircraft may be operated between ground level and the
cloud ceiling under VFR within the lateral limits of the
designated controlled airspace for an airport, when the
ceiling is below 1500 feet.
No aircraft may takeoff or land, or enter to a transit circuit
of any airport under VFR within the lateral limits of “C”
Class, “D” Class or “E” Class of the airspace designated for
an airport.
1. Except if the ground visibility of such airport is at least
of 3 miles; or
2. If Ground visibility has not been reported in this
airport, unless that flight visibility during takeoff or
landing, or during the flight of the traffic pattern, is at
least of 3 miles.
For the purposes of this section, any aircraft operating to
base altitude of an area of Class “E” Airspace it shall be
considered within the air space directly below such area.
Cruising altitudes and Flight Levels
(a) Except during a holding of two minutes or less, or during
the turns, each person operating a VFR airplane in leveled
cruise flight over 3000 feet over ground level, shall maintain the
proper altitude or the flight level indicated herein below, unless
ATC indicates otherwise.
a. When operating below FL195, and
i. In a magnetic course between 0
and 179: any odd MSL altitude in thousands of feet +500 (i.e.
3.500, 5.500, or 7.500), or
ii. In a magnetic course between 180
and 35: any even MSL altitude in thousands of feet +500 (i.e.
4.500, 6.500, or 8.500)
(b) In the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela VFR flights above
FL195 or 190 in the TMA of
VFR squawk codes
Squawk 1500 as a VFR flight within FIR unless otherwise
instructed by ATC.
Special VFR
When traffic conditions permit, special VFR flights may be
authorized subject to the approval of the unit providing
approach control service and the provisions of:
Ground visibility not less than1 500 m, special VFR flights may
be authorized to: enter a control zone for the purpose of
landing, take off and depart from a control zone, cross a control
zone or operate locally within a control zone.
Requests for such authorization shall be handled individually.
Separation shall be effected between all IFR flights and special
VFR flights
5. INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES IFR
Selection of flight level and cruising altitudes
(a) In Controlled Airspace: All individuals operating and
aircraft under IFR in leveled flight under controlled airspace,
shall maintain the altitude or flight level indicated by ATC
pursuant RAV 281.56.
(b) In Non-Controlled Airspace: Except when holding of two
minutes or less, or during turns, the turns, each person
operating a VFR airplane in leveled cruise flight over 3000 feet
over ground level, shall maintain the proper altitude pursuant
RAV 281.57 as follows:
a. When operating below FL 200 and:
i. In a magnetic course between 0 and 179: any odd MSL
altitude in thousands of feet (i.e. 3.000, 5.000, or 7.000), or
ii. In a magnetic course between 180 and 359: any even
MSL altitude in thousands of feet (i.e. 4.000, 6.000, or 8.000)
b. When operating above FL 200, but below FL290 and:
i. In a magnetic course between 0 and 179any odd MSL
altitude in thousands of feet (i.e. 210, 230, or 250), or
ii. In a magnetic course between 180 and 359any even
MSL altitude in thousands of feet (i.e. 200, 220, etc) or
c. When operating at FL290 and within RVSM Airspace:
i. In a magnetic course between 0 and an odd MSL
altitude n intervals of two thousand feet starting and including
290 (such as 290, 310, 330, 350, 370, 390, 410); or
ii. In a magnetic course between 180 and an even MSL
altitude in intervals of two thousand feet starting and including
300 (such as 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400).
Reduced reporting procedures
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, pilots of IFR flights shall
apply these procedures to reduce the air-ground
communications.
The initial call after a change of radio frequency will contain
only and actual level, with the addition of cleared level for
climbing or descending aircraft.
Any subsequent position report, if required, will contain only
aircraft c, position and time.
Level changes will only be reported when leaving assigned
levels.
6. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
Communication
(a) Pilots in command under IFR in controlled airspace shall
maintain a constant supervision on proper radios frequencies
and shall report via radio:
a. Crossing Hour and altitude of each designated report fixes
or report waypoints specified by ATC, except in those cases
wherein the aircraft is under radar contact, when the pilot in
command shall report only the crossing of those points
indicated by ATC.
b. Any meteorological condition found and which has not
been forecast, and;
c. Any other information related to flight safety.
Flight Planning
(a) Required information: unless otherwise cleared by ATC, all
individuals filing an IFR flight plan shall include the information
required for a VFR flight.
(b) Weather minimal conditions in IFR Alternate Airport:
Unless otherwise cleared by aeronautical authorities, in order
to include an alternate aerodrome in an IFR flight plan, it shall
include the proper weather and meteorological reports, or a
combination thereof, which indicate that at the expected
arrival time, the ceiling and visibility are on or above the
minimums required for a safe operation.
a. In case that any approach procedure has been published
for such airport, and any instrumental procedure has been
issued by the aeronautical authority to the operator as
alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility minimums are those
which allow the descent from the En Route Minimal Altitude,
approach and land under basic VFR conditions.
b. Cancellation: When a flight plan has been activated, the
pilot in command will be the sole responsible of canceling the
flight plan, and shall notify his / her decision immediately to the
active ATC dependency..
Additional information
During the normal operating hours of military aerodromes the
crossing of military TMAs and CTRs requires prior permission
from ATC. Military aerodromes may be activated at any time,
pilots are therefore advised to avoid as much as possible to
cross the MIL TMAs.
