AIP South Africa 15 OCT 20

8.2.3 The maximum allowed lateral offset for Phase I and II is detailed below. Only
aircraft capable of offsetting in a fraction of a mile should apply SLOP.
NB - When operating in airspace where SLOP has been authorized, the decision to apply
SLOP is the responsibility of the flight crew.

There is no ATC clearance required for this procedure and it is not necessary to advise
ATC.

8.3 Application
Pilots are advised to use SLOP as standard operating procedure during normal
operations on fixed RNAV route portions and FAJO airspace as described below to
mitigate collision risk and wake turbulence;

8.3.1 Phase I

SLOP (Up to 0.5NM right of track) is approved on the following Bi-directional RNAV route
portions listed below as published in the RSA AIP (ENR 3.3-12):
a) UQ21 (Between (ALENI – EGSOX)
b) UQ5 (Between (GEVIS – ESRET – RBV)
c) UQ17 (Between (ANVED – TGV)
d) UQ33 (Between (EPMAK – EKBOX – PEV)
e) UL211F (Between (APKIN – ITLIK)
f) UL224 (Between (APKIN – ITMEK)
g) UQ15 (Between (APKIN – OKDOG)

8.3.2 Phase II
SLOP (Up to 2NM right of track) is approved in FAJO airspace as published in the RSA
AIP (ENR 2.1-37):

8.4 Conclusion
Aircraft utilising SLOP on the above mentioned RNAV route portions are to ensure that
they immediately return to the nominal track of the specific RNAV’s after exiting the areas
of SLOP approval as listed in Phase I above.

Aircraft utilising SLOP in FAJO airspace are to ensure that they immediately return to the
nominal track of RNAV/Routing’s upon exiting FAJO as per adjoining airspace AIP
requirements. Transiting from FAJO to FACA/FAJA airspace, the transition from 2NM
SLOP to 0.5NM SLOP is required on the RNAV portions listed in Phase I above.
