Text 5 Basic ais Principles Part 3

One Copy of each of the elements of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package shall be made available without charge to an requesting AIS.

Identification of prohibited, restricted and danger areas.

The Nationality letters according DOC 7910 in connection with the letters P, R or D, as appropriate

Example: UK – R10 = Ukraine Restricted Area Nr. 10

UK – P5 = Ukraine Prohibited Area Nr. 5

UK – D8 = Ukraine Danger Area Nr. 8

At any aerodrome normally used for international air operations, all aeronautical information relevant for the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation and relative to flights originating at the aerodrome shall be made available to flight operations personnel and flight crews as well as services responsible for pre-flight information.

Aeronautical information provided for pre-flight planning purposes at the aerodrome shall include:

• Elements of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package

• Maps and charts

• Relevant information of all States crossed before the first landing.

Pre – Flight Information

Additionally current information relating to the aerodrome of departure shall be provided as:

• Work on or immediately adjacent to the manoeuvring area

• Rough portions on the manoeuvring area

• Presence of ice, snow or water on runways including the effect on surface friction

• Drifted or piled snow on or adjacent to runways and taxiways

• Presence of temporary hazard, e. g. birdstrike

• Failure or irregular operation of aerodrome lighting systems

• Failure irregular operation and changes in the operational status of:

• ILS (including markers), SRE, PAR, DME, SSR, VOR, NDB, VHF aeromobile channels, RVR observing systems and secondary power supply.

Questions:

1. How are prohibited, restricted and danger areas identified?

2. What shall aeronautical information provided for pre-flight planning purposes at the aerodrome include?

3. What additional elements shall pre-flight information include?

Notice to Airmen –notam

Part 1

A NOTAM is a notice distributed via telecommunication (AFTN) containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.

NOTAM shall be originated and issued promptly whenever the information to be disseminated is of temporary nature and of short duration or when operationally significant permanent changes, or temporary changes of long duration made at short notice, except for extensive text/graphics.

A NOTAM shall be originated and issued whenever the following information is of direct operational significance:

• Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome(s) or runways

• Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operation of aeronautical services

• Establishment or withdrawal of electronic and other aids to air navigation and aerodromes

• Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes made to visual aids

• Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting systems

• Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes made to procedures for air navigation services

• Occurrence or correction of major defects or obstacles in the manoeuvring area

• Changes to and limitations in availability of fuel, oil and oxygen

• Major changes to SAR facilities and services available

• Establishment, withdrawal or return to operation of hazard beacons marking significant obstacles to .air navigation

• Changes in regulations requiring immediate action, e.g. prohibited areas for SAR action

• Presence of hazards which affect air navigation, (exercises etc.)

Questions:

1. What is ‘NOTAM’?

2. When shall a NOTAM be originated and issued?
