Class C: All controlled airspace within Amman FIR at FL150 or below.
Class G: Class G comprises the rest of Amman FIR.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
All traffic is restricted to ATS routes and Control Zones.
WGS-84 IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
All published geographical coordinates indicating latitude and longitude are expressed in WGS-84 reference datum.
FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Maximum Speeds
Up to and including 6000ft – 210 KIAS Above 6000ft to 13000ft inclusive – 220 KIAS Above 13000ft to FL240 inclusive - 240 KIAS
PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONS
Instrument approach procedures are in accordance with new PANS-OPS Document 8168, Volume II, 2nd Edition.
AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS
Jordan does not publish State airport operating minimums. Jordan publishes Obstacle Clearance Altitudes (Heights) [OCA(H)].
ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATIONS
Jordan has adopted the ICAO ATS airspace classification as listed in ATC chapter “ICAO ATS Airspace Classifications (Annex 11)”.
POSITION REPORTING PROCEDURES
Special Procedures for aircraft overflying Jordanian territory: Acft shall contact the appropriate ATS unit and report as soon as approaching FIR entry point:
–Acft identification
–ETA at FIR boundary
–Flight level and route
–ETA at point of leaving AMMAN FIR (or landing at Jordanian aerodrome). Acft shall also report when leaving AMMAN FIR
–Type and registration of the acft
REDUCED LONGITUDINAL SEPARATION
Within the Amman FIR a minimum of 5 minutes longitudinal separation will be applied when the leading acft is maintaining a TAS of 20KT or faster than the following acft. Application of this reduced separation may require ATC to impose speed restrictions which will continue to apply in the Damascus and Jeddah FIRs unless specifically canceled or amended. Pilots must notify ATC immediately if at any time they are unable to comply with these speed restrictions.
SPEED CONTROL PROCEDURES
Aircraft operating in the vicinity of any aerodrome shall comply with speed limitations as follows:
–at or below 10000ft maximum IAS 250KT;
–beneath the lateral limits of any TMA maximum IAS 200KT;
–within airport traffic areas turbine powered aircraft maximum IAS 200KT and for propeller engined aircraft maximum IAS 156KT.
However, if the minimum safe airspeed for any particular operation is greater than the maximum speed prescribed, then the aircraft may be operated at that minimum speed.
ACAS II REQUIREMENTS
All fixed-wing aeroplanes having a maximum certficated take-off mass in excess of 5700kg, or authorized to carry more than 19 passengers operating in Jordanian airspace shall be equipped with ACAS II system.
