Chapter 10. | 10.1.4.1.1. | A unit providing approach control service shall retain control of arriving aircraft until such aircraft have been cleared to the aerodrome control tower and are in communication with the aerodrome control tower. Not more than one arrival shall be cleared to a unit providing aerodrome control service during IMC, except when the aerodrome control service is able to monitor the separation between arriving aircraft - transferred for control to it - on the final approach path with an electronic device approved by the appropriate ATS authority for this purpose. |
Chapter 8. | 8.6.9.1. | Owing to the fact that the active area of adverse weather may not show on ATS surveillance system the following procedure should be applied: When a controlled aircraft experiencing adverse weather which is likely to force the pilot to initiate action to circumnavigate the adverse weather area beyond the prescribed track keeping accuracy (+ 5 NM), it should be reported in sufficient time to permit ATC to co-ordinate with neighbouring unit responsible for control of traffic in the area concerned. The pilot’s intention for avoiding action should be reported as soon as possible prior to the point from which the aircraft is expected to deviate from the assigned flight path, stating the required direction of turn and estimated distance from the prescribed track. |
Appendix 2. | ITEM 15: ROUTE | (b) CRUISING LEVEL For VFR flight planning to operate in uncontrolled airspace cruising level/altitude shall also be indicated. |
