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 ADC.
h. Frequencies to be used shall be the normal Air/Ground communication frequencies.
POSITION REPORTS
No pilot may operate an aircraft in such a manner penetrating ADIZ unless:
a. That pilots reports to the appropriate ATS unit before penetration:
The time, position and altitude at which the aircraft passed the last reporting point before
penetration and the estimated time of arrival over the next appropriate reporting point along
the flight route.
b. If there is no appropriate reporting point along the flight route, that pilot reports not less than
15 minutes before penetration, the estimated time, position and altitude at which he will pen-
etrate; or
c. If the point of departure is within the ADIZ or so close to the ADIZ boundary that it prevents
his complying with paragraph a. or b. above that pilot has reported to an appropriate ATS
unit immediately after taking-off, the time of departure, altitude and estimated time of arrival
over the first reporting point along the flight route.
pilot is unable to contact the respective ATC centre when on ground, such aircraft may
depart and shall remain within 5NM radius below 1000ft AGL until ADC number is obtained.
c. The pilot of any aircraft departing from the airfields situated within the ADIZ, shall advise the
Control Tower at least 5 minutes before the startup.
d. An ADC number is valid for the entire flight until it reaches its destination. Once the ADC
number is issued, the flight can depart 30 minutes prior to the estimated Off Block Time. If
the flight is delayed more than one hour from the flight planned Off Block Time, a new ADC
number should be obtained.
e. The pilot of any flight entering an ADIZ shall obtain an ADC number from the Area Control
Centre, 15 minutes before entering ADIZ.
The authority of the RTAF will not be responsible for any damage caused to aircraft by the
interceptors or other devices.
The owner of the aircraft will be charged for expenditures used by the interceptors sent up to
investigate and identify.

BROADCASTS
Broadcasts should be made on the designated frequency at least every 20 minutes and also:
– ten minutes before entering the designated airspace;
– for aircraft departing from an aerodrome located within the lateral limits of the designated air-
space, as soon as possible after departure;
– whenever feasible, two to five minutes before, and at the time of, a change of Flight Level;
– at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
Broadcasts should be made exclusively in English following the samples below.
EXAMPLES OF A BROADCAST
EXAMPLE 1: Normal Position Report
a. “All Stations, traffic broadcast”;
b. “AZ356”;
c. “FL310”;
d. “Northeast bound (on UA29)” (specify general direction of flight throughout the area and ATS
route when applicable);
e. “ATAR 13:15Z” (present or last position);
f. “FL310”;
g. “Estimating UDELA 14:15Z”;
h. “AZ356”.
EXAMPLE 2: Report 2 to 5 minutes before initiating change of enroute Flight Level
a. “All Stations, traffic broadcast”;
b. “AZ356”;
c. “FL310 climbing to FL350 in 3 minutes” (specify climbing/descending and time to elapse till
leaving present Flight Level);
d. “Northeast bound (on UA29)” (specify general direction of flight throughout the area and ATS
route when applicable);
e. “ATAR 13:15Z” (present or last position);

f. “FL310 climbing to FL350 in 3 minutes” (specify climbing/descending and time to elapse till
leaving present Flight Level;
g. “Estimating UDELA 14:15Z”;
h. “AZ356”.
EXAMPLE 3: Report at the time of commencing change of enroute Flight Level
a. “All Stations, traffic broadcast”;
b. “AZ356”;
c. “FL310 climbing to FL350 now” (specify climbing/descending and now);
d. “Northeast bound (on UA29)” (specify general direction of flight throughout the area and ATS
route when applicable);
e. “ATAR 13:15Z” (present or last position);
f. “FL310 climbing to FL350 now” (specify climbing/descending and now);
g. “Estimating UDELA 14:15Z”;
h. “AZ356”.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Should action be deemed necessary to avert the risk of a collision, and this cannot be safely ach-
ieved by co-ordination with ATC in the time available, or in accordance with the right of way provi-
sions, pilots should:
a. change Flight Level by 500ft, co-ordinated with the other aircraft concerned if possible,
unless another manoeuvre appears more appropriate or is indicated by TCAS (It is sugges-
ted that the aircraft with the right of way should climb, and the other aircraft should descend);
b. broadcast the action taken on the appropriate IFBP frequency;
c. display all aircraft lighting which may assist in the visual detection;
d. notify ATC as soon as possible;
e. as soon as the situation has been rectified, resume assigned Flight Level.
DETECTION ENHANCEMENT
a. Visual detection:
All aircraft lighting likely to assist in the visual detection of the aircraft should be displayed
during changes in cruising level;
b. Operation of transponders:
In the absence of specific instructions by ATC, transponders must be operating on Modes A
and C, Code 2000;

AREA OF APPLICABILITY
RVSM shall be applicable in that volume of airspace between FL290 and FL410 inclusive in the
flight information regions (FIR/UIR).
AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT
On behalf of the ME-Region ATS providers a web site is containing documents and policy on:
http://www.midrma.com.
The minimum equipment list (MEL) fulfilling the MASPS consists of: (see FAA Interim Guidance
(IG) 91-RVSM/JAA TGL6).
a. two primary altimetry systems;
b. one altitude-alerting device;
c. one automatic altitude-keeping device, and
d. one SSR (secondary surveillance radar transponder).
MEANS OF COMPLIANCE
Except for State aircraft, operators intending to conduct flights within the volume of airspace
where RVSM is applied shall require an RVSM approval either from the State in which the opera-
tor is based or from the State in which the aircraft is registered. To obtain such an RVSM appro-
val, operators shall satisfy the said State that:
a. aircraft for which the RVSM approval is sought have the vertical navigational performance
capability required for RVSM operations through compliance with the criteria of the RVSM
minimum aircraft systems performance specifications (MASPS).
b. they have instituted procedures in respect of continued airworthiness (maintenance and
repair) practices and programs, and
c. they have instituted flight crew procedures for operations in the ME RVSM airspace.

NOTE 1: An RVSM approval is not restricted to a specific region instead. It is valid globally on the
understanding that any operating procedures specific to a given region in this case the ME
Region, should be stated in the operations manual or appropriate crew guidance.
NOTE 2: Aircraft that have received State approval for RVSM operations will be referred to as
‘RVSM approved aircraft’.
NOTE 3: Aircraft that have not received State approval for RVSM operations will be referred to as
‘non-RVSM approved aircraft’.
Guidance material of use to those involved in the initial achievement and continued maintenance
of the height-keeping performance capability has been issued by ICAO under the title “Guidance
Material on the Implementation of a 300m (1000ft) Vertical Separation Minimum (VSM) in the ME
RVSM Airspace”.
Detailed technical guidance material on the airworthiness, continued airworthiness, and the
operational practices and procedures for the ME RVSM airspace is provided in the Joint Aviation
Authorities “Administrative and Guidance Material, Section One: General, Part 3: Temporary
Guidance Leaflet No. 6”.
Monitoring of flight operations in the ME RVSM airspace shall be conducted to assess the con-
tinuing compliance of aircraft with the height-keeping performance requirements.

portion of the route commencing at the exit point.
Operators on non-RVSM approved State aircraft with a requested cruising level of FL290 or
above shall insert STS/NONRVSM in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan form.
SEPARATION OF AIRCRAFT
VERTICAL SEPARATION
Between FL290 and FL410 inclusive, within the ME RVSM airspace, the vertical separation mini-
mum shall be:
a. 300m (1000ft) between RVSM approved aircraft,
b. 600m (2000ft) between:
– non-RVSM approved State aircraft and any other aircraft operating within the ME RVSM air-
space,
– all formation flights of State aircraft and any other aircraft operating within the ME RVSM air-
space, and
– non-RVSM approved aircraft and any other aircraft operating within the ME RVSM airspace.
ATC shall provide a minimum vertical separation of 600m (2000ft) between an aircraft experienc-
ing a communication failure in flight and any other aircraft when both aircraft are operating in the
ME RVSM airspace.
The applicable vertical separation minimum shall be established by the last ACC/UAC providing
ATC service to the aircraft within the ME RVSM airspace and before the aircraft passes the trans-
fer of control point to the adjacent ACC/UAC.
Such aircraft shall be established at a flight level in accordance with:
– the table of cruising levels, as published in ICAO Annex 2, Appendix 3, and/or
– a flight level allocation scheme, if applicable, and/or
– as specified in an inter-ACC letter of agreement.
ATC shall take action immediately to provide a minimum vertical separation of 600m (2000ft) or
an appropriate horizontal separation from all other aircraft concerned that are operating in the ME
RVSM airspace.
An aircraft rendered non-RVSM approved shall normally be cleared out of the ME RVSM airspace
by ATC when it is possible to do so.
Pilots shall inform ATC, as soon as practicable, of any restoration of the proper functioning of
equipment required to meet the RVSM MASPS.
The first ACC/UAC to become aware of a change in an aircraft’s RVSM status shall coordinate
with adjacent ACC/UACs as appropriate.

avoid artillery areas when active. VFR acft not in contact with Kabul ACC should monitor guard
frequency 121.5 or 243.0 while in the vicinity of Salerno to obtain artillery fire warning broadcasts
or contact Kabul ACC for additional information.
FLIGHT PLANNING
Flight intending to land in Afghanistan should file a roundtrip flight plan using the address
OAKXZQZX. Flights overflying Afghanistan (transiting Kabul FIR) should address their flight plan
using the address OAKXCAHQ and OAKBYNYX.
Flight plans and associated messages of flights with Mazar-e Sharif airport (OAMS) as a destina-
tion, departure or alternate aerodrome must include AFTN address ETCCYFMS and OAMSYAYX
in the address list.
Flight plans and associated messages of flights with Kabul International Airport (OAKB) as a des-
tination, departure or alternate aerodrome must include KAIA AIS and Briefing room AFTN
addresses (OAKBYWYX, OAKBYNYX, OAKBZPZX) in the address line.
If unable to file a flight plan at the departing point, aircrews are required to depart VFR and con-
tact Kabul ACC as soon as possible to file in the air for airports within the Kabul FIR. Except
departures and arrivals from/to Kabul where it is mandatory for all civilian and military aircraft
(except QRF, SAR and MEDEVAC) to file a flight plan.
ARRIVING/DEPARTING FLIGHTS
Arriving flights into Bagram, Kabul and Kandahar Airfields
All arriving flights will contact ATC prior to entering class “C” airspace. If no contact is made with
ATC prior to entering the class “C”, the pilot will discontinue the approach and either hold at pilot’s
discretion outside the class “C” and continue to attempt to contact ATC or divert to alternate air-
field. If diverting is not possible due to low fuel state, declare an emergency and apply loss of
communication failure procedures.
All arriving aircraft must remain above FL160 until 20 NM from Kabul airfield unless under
Bagram Arrival Control, Kabul Arrival Control or Kabul Approach Control and approved for
descent below FL160.

enter the Kabul FIR and fly to the requested airport.
PPR times are not ATC flow times. They are based on ground handling capability only. Issuance
of a PPR does not encompass any aircraft servicing, ground handling, or other aircrew require-
ments, nor does it imply air traffic control separation, weather conditions or threat assessment. A
PPR is valid for +/- 30 minutes. All flights shall have sufficient fuel and maintenance support to
meet their scheduled arrival and departure times and be prepared for minimum ground times. Air-
crews need to consider adequate fuel for potential ground/air delays due to unforeseen events.
PPR Requests
Movement Request Forms (MRF) and PPR request forms may be obtained from
http://www.motca.gov.af/index.php?id=8
Military and civil aircraft supporting ISAF obtain PPRs (and slot times for non-PPR airfields) by
submitting a MRF to the Allied Movements Coordination Centre (AMCC) (ISAF). Exception: Thea-
tre based and US aircraft.
Theatre based and US aircraft should obtain PPRs through their C2 organization or directly from
the airfield. If unable to coordinate via C2 or airfield directly, any transport aircraft supporting ISAF
may coordinate PPRs through AMCC (ISAF).

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) - Hold-
ing Procedures”, Table IV-1-1, Holding Speeds.
The following paragraphs comprise existing Indian provisions based on Civil Aviation Require-
ment (CAR) (Section 8, Series C, Part I) on All Weather Operations (AWO), besides ICAO Doc
9365-AN/910 regarding the methods to determine AOM. The regulations have to be adhered to
by pilots and all aircraft operators operating at Indian airports.
Jeppesen published minimums are not below State minimums.
Approach ban
An approach to land may not be commenced by arriving aircraft when weather conditions are
reported to be below landing minima. This approach ban limits aircraft from proceeding beyond
the Outer marker or equivalent position, or 1000ft above the aerodrome elevation in case no outer
marker or equivalent position exists unless weather is reported at or above specified minima. If
weather deteriorates after an aircraft has passed the approach ban point, the aircraft already on
approach may continue to DA(H) or MDA(H).
Approach Lighting System
Full Facilities (FF) comprise Precision Approach HIALS 740m or more, HIRL, RWY markings,
Threshold Lights, RWY end lights. Lights must be on.
Intermediate Facilities (IF) comprise Simple HIALS 420m or more, HIRL, RWY markings,
Threshold Lights, RWY end lights. Lights must be on.
Basic Facilities (BF) comprise Simple ALS (any lengths) or no ALS at all, RL, RWY markings,
Threshold Lights, RWY end lights. Lights must be on.
Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA)
A technique, consistent with stabilized approach procedures, for flying the final approach segment
of a non-precision approach procedure as a continuous descent, without level-off, from an alti-
tude/height at or above the final approach fix altitude/height to a point approximately 15 m (50 ft)
above the landing runway threshold or the point where the flare maneuver should begin for the
type of aircraft flown. This is also referred to as CANPA (Constant Angle Non-Precision
Approach). See DGCA Operations Circular 1/2005.
All non-precision approaches shall be flown using the Continuous Descent Final Approach
(CDFA) technique unless otherwise approved by the DGCA for a particular approach to a
particular runway.
When calculating the minima the operator shall ensure that the applicable minimum RVR is
increased by 200m for Cat A/B airplanes and by 400m for Cat C/D airplanes for approaches not
flown using the CDFA technique, providing that the resulting RVR/CMV value does not exceed
5000m.
Jeppesen charted non-precision RVR values not labeled as CDFA, already take these increments
into account.
In case of the application of the CDFA technique, on many procedures the Derived Decision Alti-
tude (DDA) may be used (as given in Ops Circular 1/2005): flight crews should add a prescribed
altitude increment of minimally 50ft to the MDA to determine the altitude at which the missed
approach should be initiated in order to prevent a descent below the MDA. There is no need to
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 259
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
increase the RVR/VIS for that approach. Any turning maneuver associated with the missed
approach should be initiated not earlier than the MAP.
Converted Meteorological Visibility (CMV)
A value equivalent to an RVR which is derived from the reported meteorological visibility, as con-
verted in accordance with the specified requirements in the CAR.
AOM are generally expressed in RVR or CMV. If only meteorological visibility is reported, the
charted RVR/CMV value can be substituted by reported meteorological VIS for Straight-in Instru-
ment Approaches as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 must not be applied for Take-off or any other required RVR minimum less than 800m or
when reported RVR is available.
NOTE: If the RVR is reported at being above the maximum value assessed by the aerodrome
operator,e.g.: “RVR more than 1500m”, it is not considered to be a reported RVR in this context
and the conversion table may be used.
Jeppesen will publish all RVR values above 2000m as CMV, except for NDB procedures, where
State Minima requires VIS.
EXAMPLE: Reported VIS Day (HIALS and HIRL in use): RVR/CMV = 600m x 1.5 =
600M 900m
Day (No lighting): RVR/CMV = 600m x 1.0 =
600m
Night (HIALS and HIRL in use): RVR/CMV = 600m x 2.0 =
1200m
NORMAL AOM
Normal AOM are for the use of Scheduled Indian and International Airlines operating at Indian air-
ports. On request, scheduled operators who have well established capabilities to calculate AOM
will be given the approval of application by the Indian DGCA. The procedures of approval are not
applicable to CAT II/III operations.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 260
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Foreign operators are to be authorized by the State of the operator for the use of AOM. In no case
may they operate at Indian Airports at less than the Normal AOM.

RESTRICTED AOM
Restricted AOM will be shown on an additional page 10-9Z, 20-9Z etc. labeled Restricted AOM
(negative print) in the upper right corner.
Precision Approach
For DH of Restricted AOM add 100ft for CAT A and B acft and 50ft for CAT C and D acft to the
DH of the Normal AOM. Apply Table 2 to determine RVR/VIS with Restricted DH.
Non-Precision Approach
Dependent on the facilities available Table 3, 4 or 5 applies.
For MDH of Restricted AOM add 100ft (all acft categories) to the MDH of Normal AOM. For
Restricted RVR/VIS add 400m to RVR/VIS determined by the MDH for Normal AOM. Determine
the Restricted RVR/VIS by using restricted MDH. Compare both values and use the higher one as
Restricted RVR/VIS.
EXAMPLE: VOR approach CAT C acft, Full Facilities Normal MDH = 587ft Table 3, VIS 2400m +
400m = VIS 2800m
or
Restricted MDH = 687ft Table 3, VIS 3200m.
The higher value of both is 3200m and shall be used for FF. For the ALS out condition 800m shall
be added.
NOTE: For NDB approaches there is no comparison as for other non-precision approaches
required.

Add 400m to the approved VIS/RVR.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 263
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
CIRCLING APPROACH
VIS of normal AOM is determined from Table 5 but must never be below 3600m. For MDH of
Restricted AOM add 100ft to the MDH of normal AOM. VIS is then determined from Table 5 but
must never be below 3600m.
TAKE-OFF
Take-off minimums established by the operator must be expressed as VIS or RVR, taking into
account all relevant factors for each aerodrome planned to be used. Where there is a specific
need to see and to avoid obstacles a ceiling or climb gradient must be specified.
The commander shall not commence take-off unless the weather conditions at the aerodrome of
departure are equal to or better than applicable minimums for landing at that aerodrome unless a
suitable take-off alternate aerodrome is available.
The take-off alternate weather (actual and forecast) shall not be less than ILS CAT I minima. The
take-off alternate aerodrome should be located within the following distance from the aerodrome
of departure:
a. Aeroplanes with two engines: not more than a distance equivalent to one hour flight time at
the single engine cruise speed;
b. Aeroplanes with three or more engines: not more than a distance equivalent to two hours
flight time at the one engine inoperative cruise speed.
Visual reference
Take-off minimums must be determined to ensure sufficient guidance to control the aircraft in
case of discontinued take-off in adverse circumstances or during continued take-off after failure of
the critical power unit.
Required RVR/VIS
For multi-engine aircraft, whose performance is such that in the event of a critical power unit fail-
ure at any point during take-off the aircraft can either stop or continue the take-off to a height of
1500ft above the aerodrome while clearing all obstacles by the required margins, the take-off min-
imums established by an operator must be expressed as RVR/VIS values not lower than those in
Table 6 below.
Low Visibility Take-off Operations (LVTO)
Flight operations referring to a take-off on a runway where the RVR is less than 400m.
LVTO Authorization
Use of take-off minima less than 400m (LVTO) requires authorization by DGCA. Scheduled oper-
ators may be authorized LVTO minima of 125m. This requires that a 90m visual segment shall be
available from the cockpit at the start of the take-off run. All other operators may seek authoriza-
tion of LVTO minima of 200m. Foreign operators, who are authorized by their State Regulatory
Authority for LVTO, shall submit requisite documents to DGCA for approval of LVTO at Indian
Aerodromes.

SPEED RESTRICTION
Speed control procedures under non-radar environment
All aircraft (including Arrivals and Departures) operating below 10000ft to fly IAS not greater than
250KT.
All arriving aircraft operating below 10000ft within 15NM Radius of VOR/DME serving the aero-
drome to fly IAS not greater than 220KT. ATC may suspend speed control by using the phrase
“No speed restriction”, when traffic conditions permit.
Speed control procedures in the provision of radar control service
Purpose
In order to facilitate safe and orderly flow of arriving air traffic within terminal area under the radar
environment, aircraft shall follow the speed in specified manner as provided in table “Speed Con-
trol under Radar Environment for Arriving Aircraft” at the following airports:
Ahmedabad, Bangalore (Intl), Chennai (Intl), Delhi (Indira Gandhi Intl), Hyderabad (Rajiv Gandhi
Intl), Kolkata (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Intl) and Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl).
Requirement of speed control
The speed control is applied for ATC separation purposes and is mandatory in the interest of
acquiring accurate spacing.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 265
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Speed control is also necessary to achieve the desired separation minimum or spacing between
the successive arrivals. This in turn would improve the utilization of airspace and enhance the
runway capacity to handle more number of aircraft.
The flight crew should be aware of the provisions specified in table “Speed Control under Radar
Environment for Arriving Aircraft” and plan the aircraft speed accordingly.
Adherence to speed control procedure
All the speed restrictions shall be complied with as promptly as feasible and flown as accurately
as possible within the limits of operational constraints.
Aircraft unable to comply with the specified speeds must inform ATC and report minimum speed it
is able to follow. In such cases controller shall apply the alternative method to achieve the desired
spacing between aircraft concerned.
The speeds specified in table “Speed Control under Radar Environment for Arriving Aircraft” are
within the limits of turboprops and turbojets aircraft performance based on the ICAO recommen-
dations and best international practices and therefore should be acceptable. However it is the
pilot’s responsibility and prerogative to refuse speed restrictions that are considered excessive or
contrary to the aircraft operating specifications.
Penalties of non-confirmity of speed control
Radar controller may remove an aircraft from the sequence for repositioning if it is observed that
aircraft concerned is not following the speed restrictions in the specified manner and closing-in
with preceding aircraft or slowing down unnecessarily thus disrupting the traffic flow.
Flights exempted from speed control
Speed control shall not be applicable to aircraft:
a. entering or established in holding pattern;
b. encountering the turbulent weather;
c. conducting the Cat II/III operations and within 20NM from touch-down;
d. within 5NM from touch-down;
e. executing the published instrument approach procedure until interception of final approach
track;
f. carrying VVIP and
g. conducting priority/emergency landing.
Aircraft shall be advised as and when speed control restriction is not applicable or no longer
required.
Additional information for better understanding of speed control
While applying the speed control, the following information is provided as an additional informa-
tion for controllers and pilots:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - MIDDLE EAST 266
INDIA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
a. Speed adjustments are not achieved instantaneously. Aircraft configurations, altitude and
speed determine the time and distance to accomplish the adjustments.
b. Speed control shall not be assigned to an aircraft at or above FL390 without pilot’s consent.
c. Speed control should be expressed in multiples of 10kt based on indicated airspeed (IAS). At
or above FL250 the adjustments should be expressed in multiples of 0.01 Mach.
d. For the same indicated air speed (IAS), the true speed of aircraft will vary with altitude. A
table representing indicated air speed versus true air speed at different altitude is provided in
table “Indicated Airspeed (IAS) vs. True Airspeed (TAS) at different altitude at ISA +15°C”.
Radar controllers must be aware of speed differentials between IAS and TAS.
e. Simultaneous speed reduction and descent can be extremely difficult, particularly for turbojet
aircraft. It may be necessary for the pilot to level off temporarily and reduce speed prior to
descending below 10000ft AMSL.
f. Arriving aircraft would prefer to fly in clean configuration for as long as circumstances permit.
Below 10000ft AMSL, speed not less than 210Kt IAS is considered as minimum speed of tur-
bojet aircraft in clean configuration.
g. Speed adjustments requiring alternate decrease and increase shall be avoided particularly
after the aircraft has reduced the speed below 210kt. In such cases the Phraseology”, No
ATC speed restriction”, or “Resume normal speed” shall only be used.
NOTE: Subject to aircraft performance limitations a radar controller may assign a specific speed
to the aircraft in order to maintain/achieve required spacing.

(IGOGU to PARAR W-bound, PARAR to IDASO E-bound) at or above FL280 and P762 (DUGOS
to LULDA) at or above FL260, will coordinate with adjacent ATC units affected by the flight.
f. In airspace where the use of lateral offsets has been authorized, pilots are not required to
inform ATC that an offset is being applied.
g. Aircraft transiting areas of radar coverage in airspace where offset tracking is permitted may
initiate or continue an offset.
h. Aircraft without automatic offset tracking capability must fly the centerline of the ATS route
being flown.
The segments of ATS routes where Strategic Lateral Offset Procedures are applicable are identi-
fied in the tables below. However for ATC purposes the offset may be cancelled by the appropri-
ate ATC unit.

RULES AND PROCEDURES
NOTE: The above telex number automatically accepts flight plans directly into the AFTN provided
the AFTN format is observed in the telex transmission.
Any aircraft submitting a flight plan and obtaining approval shall close the flight plan for each
stage flown.
If the flight plan submitted covers intermediate stops between the aerodromes of departure and
destination the pilot is required to:
– close the flight plan for the flight stage just completed;
– file the ETD for the next stage, and
– after take-off, report the ATD to ensure that the flight plan for that stage is activated for alerting
and search and rescue purposes.
An aircraft intending to depart from an aerodrome without an ATS unit, which subsequently will
require an IFR clearance but has been unable to obtain the clearance by any means of communi-
cation may, as a last resort and if weather conditions permit, depart VFR and, whilst remaining in
VMC attempt to contact the appropriate ATS unit and obtain the necessary IFR clearance prior to
entering the relevant controlled airspace.
Aircraft should neither:
– enter controlled airspace, nor
– climb above altitude 12500ft in any controlled airspace.
b. All aircraft operators in the Kingdom that SCATANA rules have been activated and to inform
all of their aircraft in flight to contact ATC immediately for appropriate SCATANA instructions
and for those aircraft not yet airborne, to remain on the ground.
c. The GACA/AIS NOTAM office to issue the appropriate NOTAM.
SCATANA rules:
a. The rules of the Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA) plan will
only be activated in times of war or during a defence emergency and restrictions to aircraft
movements will not be imposed for any greater time or degree than is necessary to meet
military tactical requirements.
b. While SCATANA rules are activated, they shall apply to all aircraft flying in or about to enter
Saudi Arabian airspace.
c. The pilot-in-command of an aircraft entering or operating in Saudi Arabian airspace, once
notified that SCATANA rules have been activated, shall comply with all SCATANA instruc-
tions to change course, altitude or flight level or to land at the nearest suitable airport accept-
able to the pilot.
d. After SCATANA rules have been activated, ADNC shall assign all proposed flights a wartime
air traffic priority number based on the flights purpose, route of flight and the level of neces-
sity for the flight to be flown.
NOTE: When Saudi Arabian airspace has been cleared of civilian aircraft, it can be expected
to rapidly follow that many, if not all, of the Kingdom’s air navigational aids serving airports
will be shut down.
While SCATANA rules are active, all proposed flight operations in Saudi Arabian airspace will
require approval by ADNC and be assigned an appropriate wartime traffic priority number. ADNC
shall determine which wartime air traffic priority numbers are permitted to fly based on the level of
hostilities, existing or expected, along the aircraft’s intended route of flight.
Operators of aircraft with certified RNAV systems with automatic radio update capability can
depend on suitable navigation update capabilities within designated RNP 5 airspace.
Aircraft entering RNP 5 airspace longitudinally from an area where no RNP is specified, are
expected to capture the cleared track centerline, within plus or minus 5NM, not later than 50NM
after entering designated RNP 5 airspace.
dromes, are required to submit their flight plan to the Air Defence Notification Centre (OEJ-
DYXYX) to obtain approval prior to departure as follows:
– Normal routine flights not less than 24 hours before departure;
– Urgent flights not less than 12 hours before departure;
– Emergency flights, for example Hospital aircraft, not less than two hours before departure.
3.3.1.2 FPL submitted by air carriers operating scheduled services shall indicate, in Field 18
RMK, if this flight plan can be used for a specified number of flights or for a specified period, so
that the data can be retained as a centre stored flight plan by the appropriate ATS unit; it is
stressed, however, that such internal usage by ATS units does not relieve operators of the
requirement to file an individual FPL for each flight or make appropriate arrangements for the sub-
mission of an RPL listing.
Flight inbound to or overflying Saudi Arabian airspace with no flight plan (FPL) are subject to be
held at the boundary or denied access to the airspace until FPL is received.
All flights intending to operate in the Jeddah FIR (arriving, departing or transiting) where the air-
craft is RVSM certified are required to insert the letter "W" in field 10 (Equipment) of the flight
plan.
All flights operating in Saudi Arabian airspace , the ACFT registration is to be included in Field 18
(Other Information) of the flight plan preceded by REG/. Example, REG/XXXXX. This is manda-
tory to accept the flight plan and for ACFT movement where the relevant flight plan is received
without this information the flight plan will be refused.

RULES AND PROCEDURES
Aircraft that have established data link communications may down link their position reports by
CPDLC instead of HF RTF. When using CPDLC, the primary and secondary HF voice frequen-
cies will be used as 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.
When CPDLC connection is established, aircraft will be instructed to transfer from voice to
CPDLC.
CPDLC connections will be terminated 5 minutes before the FIR boundary position or when enter-
ing radar coverage. 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.
Data Link Failure
Pilots recognizing a failure of CPDLC connection must immediately establish communications on
the appropriate voice frequency. When voice communications have been established, voice must
be used as the primary medium until a CPDLC connection has been re-established and the con-
troller has authorized the return to data link.
In case of an unexpected CPDLC shutdown, the controller will immediately advise all data link
connected aircraft of the failure by voice. Instructions will continue by voice until return of the
system. The return of the system to an operational status will require a new AFN LOGON from
the affected aircraft.

Ref Regional Supplementary Procedures, DOC 7030/4 - MID/ASIA, Part 1, Rules of the Air,
Air Traffic Services and Search and Rescue.
GENERAL
The following general procedures apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft and are intended
for guidance only. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, they provide for cases
of inability to maintain assigned level due to weather, aircraft performance, pressurization failure
and problems associated with high-level supersonic flight. They are applicable primarily when
rapid descent and/or turn back or diversion to an alternate airport are required. The pilot’s judge-
ment shall determine the sequence of actions taken, taking into account specific circumstances.
1. If an aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its Air Traffic Control Clearance, a
revised clearance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action, using a
distress or urgency signal as appropriate.
2. If prior clearance cannot be obtained, an air traffic control 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 the route or track system;
b) establish communication with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting at suitable inter-
vals: 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 121.5 MHz (or
as back-up, the interpilot air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz);
c) watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS;
d) turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating instruc-
tions).
NOTE: If, as a result of actions taken under 2) and 3) the pilot determines 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 conflict.
4) turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
5) for deviations of less than 10NM, aircraft should remain at a level assigned by ATC;
6) for deviations greater than 10NM, when the aircraft is approximately 10NM from track, ini-
tiate a level change based on the criteria in Table I below;
7) when returning to track, be at its assigned flight level, when the aircraft is within approxi-
mately 10NM of center line; and
8) 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.

Arrival Procedures
All traffic in case of radio failure and intended to join the traffic patterns shall do it a 45 degrees
angle to the downwind leg. In radio failure situations the traffic shall never cross from North to
South or vice versa over the airport neither the final approach sectors, interfering with possible
traffic.
Aircraft in flight. Aircraft/ATC should try to establish radio contact via 121.50 or 243.00. If it was
not possible to establish radio contact through this mean, and if there is radar capability from ATC
in order to identify if the pilot is receiving any radio transmissions from ATC, controllers shall ask,
and pilots shall expect to be asked to:
a. acknowledge by ident, or
b. change squawk.
If there is no radar capability, controllers shall expect from the pilots, and they shall do so:
a. Light aircraft: low approach over the Rwy at or above 500ft AGL, look for TWR light gun
signal and 'rock wings' when passing in front of TWR, to advising RADIO FAILURE. Then
join the TWR (south) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final look for light gun
signal for full stop landing or go around. Vacate rwy-in-use after landing at the Twy A/J or G
(depending on rwy-in-use). Do not enter Twy B/H without ATC clearance via radio frequency,
light gun signal or Follow-me guidance.
b. Medium/Heavy aircraft: low approach over the Rwy at or above 500ft AGL, look for TWR
light gun signal and 'flash landing lights' advising RADIO FAILURE. Then join the TWR
(south) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final look for light gun signal for full
stop landing or go around. Vacate rwy-in-use after landing at the Twy A/J or G (depending
on rwy-in-use). Do not enter Twy B/H without ATC clearance via radio frequency, light gun
signal or Follow-me guidance.
c. Helicopters: low approach over the Twy B/H at or above 500ft AGL, and 'rock wings' when
passing in front of TWR, to advising the RADIO FAILURE and look for light gun signal. Then
join the TWR (south/north) traffic pattern. When turning base leg or short final Twy B/H look
for light gun signal for full stop landing or go around. The landing shall be on Twy B/H abeam
their parking ramp and vacate Twy B/H fastest and safest as possible.
In the probability of the communications failure is due to the mountainous terrain, the controllers
shall try to relay information through other aircraft flying in a coverage area of the aircraft behind
mountains or flying too low. Pilots shall use the same procedure to acknowledge information to
ATC.
Departure Procedures
Departing aircraft should attempt contact Bagram Approach and continue outbound on previously
assigned routing.

KANDAHAR AIRPORT
In the event of a communications failure, Kandahar airspace shall revert to Class E airspace.
Kabul ACC shall assume control of Kandahar’s airspace upon notification. Kandahar Tower will
transmit on emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243.0) of the situation and advise inbound aircraft
to contact tower and outbound aircraft to contact Kabul ACC. If no contact received: civil aircraft
should switch to Afghanistan advisory frequency.
Arrival Procedures
Arriving IFR aircraft should continue inbound to the airport once established on a segment of the
approach previously cleared and contact Kandahar tower for applicable traffic advisories, landing
sequence and clearance. In the event of total radio failure, aircrew should look for a landing light
from the Tower.
Arriving VFR aircraft should contact the tower with a position report and their intentions to get
sequenced to the airport. In the event of total radio failure, aircrew should look for a landing light
from the Tower.
Departure Procedures
Departing aircraft should continue outbound on previously assigned routing and contact Kabul
ACC on appropriate frequency.
Due to sporadic radio communications loss with Kandahar ATC on VHF and/or UHF, expect air-
borne and ground delays at KAF or origination airfield. For airborne aircraft, if no positive two-way
radio contact established with Kandahar ATC, contact Kabul ACC or TOPAZ for further instruc-
tions. For aircraft on the ground at OAKN, contact TOPAZ for updates and/or instructions. In the
event of total radio failure, departing aircraft coordinate with TOPAZ and provide a controlled
departure time (CDT). TOPAZ will advise ATC. Aircraft should be at the appropriate Hold Line at
the CDT and flash landing light at the Tower. ATC will provide the appropriate light gun signal for
departure.
