Annex 11 to 19 Flashcards
For the purpose of this Annex, the State which designates the authority responsible for establishing and providing the air
traffic services is:
in Situation 1: the State having sovereignty over the relevant portion of the airspace;
in Situation 2: the State to whom responsibility for the establishment and provision of air traffic services has been
delegated;
in Situation 3: the State which has accepted the responsibility for the establishment and provision of air traffic services.
The air traffic control service, to accomplish objectives a), b) and c) of 2.2, this service being divided in three
parts as follows:
a) Area control service: the provision of air traffic control service for controlled flights, except for those parts of such
flights described in 2.3.1 b) and c), in order to accomplish objectives a) and c) of 2.2;
b) Approach control service: the provision of air traffic control service for those parts of controlled flights associated
with arrival or departure, in order to accomplish objectives a) and c) of 2.2;
c) Aerodrome control service: the provision of air traffic control service for aerodrome traffic, except for those parts of
flights described in 2.3.1 b), in order to accomplish objectives a), b) and c) of 2.2.
2.3.2 The flight information service, to accomplish objective d) of 2.2.
2.3.3 The alerting service, to accomplish objective e) of 2.2
The lateral limits of a control zone shall extend to at least
9.3 km (5 NM) from the centre of the aerodrome or
aerodromes concerned in the directions from which approaches may be made
Air traffic services unit clocks and other time-recording devices shall be checked as necessary to ensure correct
time to within plus or minus
30 seconds of UTC
Air traffic control service shall be provided:
a) to all IFR flights in airspace Classes A, B, C, D and E;
b) to all VFR flights in airspace Classes B, C and D;
c) to all special VFR flights;
d) to all aerodrome traffic at controlled aerodromes.
Alerting service shall be provided:
a) for all aircraft provided with air traffic control service;
b) in so far as practicable, to all other aircraft having filed a flight plan or otherwise known to the air traffic services;
and
c) to any aircraft known or believed to be the subject of unlawful interference.
One or more pre-flight altimeter check locations shall be established for an aerodrome.
A pre-flight check location should be located on
an apron
Where parallel instrument runways are intended for simultaneous use subject to
conditions specified in the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444) and the PANS-OPS (Doc 8168), Volume I, the minimum distance between
their centre lines should be:
— 1 035 m for independent parallel approaches;
— 915 m for dependent parallel approaches;
— 760 m for independent parallel departures;
— 760 m for segregated parallel operations

An aerodrome beacon shall be provided at an aerodrome intended for use at night if one or more of the
following conditions exist:
a) aircraft navigate predominantly by visual means;
b) reduced visibilities are frequent; or
c) it is difficult to locate the aerodrome from the air due to surrounding lights or terrain
An identification beacon shall show
flashing-green at a land aerodrome and flashing-yellow at a water
aerodrome.
The PAPI system shall consist of a wing bar of four sharp transition multi-lamp (or paired single lamp) units
equally spaced. The system shall be located on the left side of the runway unless it is physically impracticable to do so.
a second wing bar may be provided on the opposite side of the runway
Where a runway is used by aircraft requiring visual roll guidance which is not provided by other external means
Runway edge lights should be provided on a runway intended for take-off with an
operating minimum below
an RVR of the order of 800 m by day
Runway centre line lights shall be provided on a runway intended to be used for take-off with an operating
minimum below an
RVR of the order of (approximately) 400 m.
Runway centre line lights shall be fixed lights showing variable white from the threshold to the point 900 m
from the runway end; alternate red and variable white from 900 m to 300 m from the runway end; and red from 300 m to the
runway end, except that for runways less than
1 800 m in length, the alternate red and variable white lights shall extend from
the midpoint of the runway usable for landing to 300 m from the runway end
Rapid exit taxiway indicator lights shall be fixed unidirectional
yellow lights, aligned so as to be visible to the
pilot of a landing aeroplane in the direction of approach to the runway.
Runway incursions may take place in all visibility or weather conditions. The provision of stop bars at runwayholding
positions and their use at night and in visibility conditions greater than
550 m runway visual range can form part of
effective runway incursion prevention measures
A stop bar shall be provided at every runway-holding position serving a runway when it is intended that the
runway will be used in runway visual range conditions less than a value of
350 m
The operational objective of the rescue and firefighting service shall be to achieve a response time not
exceeding
three minutes to any point of each operational runway, in optimum visibility and surface conditions.
When aircraft refuelling operations take place while passengers are embarking, on board or disembarking, ground
equipment shall be positioned so as to allow:
a) the use of a sufficient number of exits for expeditious evacuation; and
b) a ready escape route from each of the exits to be used in an emergency.
An AIS shall ensure that aeronautical data and aeronautical information necessary for the safety, regularity or
efficiency of air navigation are made available in a form suitable for the operational requirements of the air traffic
management (ATM) community, including:
a) those involved in flight operations, including flight crews, flight planning and flight simulators; and
b) the air traffic services unit responsible for flight information service and the services responsible for pre-flight
information
advance notice shall be given of the activation of established danger, restricted or
prohibited areas and of activities requiring temporary airspace restrictions other than for emergency operations in (time)
At least seven days
Standard:
Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matériel, performance, personnel or
procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as necessary for the safety or regularity of international
air navigation and to which Contracting States will conform in accordance with the Convention; in the event of
impossibility of compliance, notification to the Council is compulsory under Article 38 of the Convention.
Recommended Practice:
Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matériel, performance,
personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as desirable in the interests of safety,
regularity or efficiency of international air navigation, and to which Contracting States will endeavour to conform
in accordance with the Convention.
If the pilot-in-command cannot proceed to an aerodrome in accordance with the rules , he/she should attempt to continue flying on
the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until able to notify an ATS unit
or until within radar or ADS-B coverage.
When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned
cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot-in-command should, whenever possible:
a) attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF channel in use or the VHF emergency frequency, and other appropriate
channels, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as on-board transponders
and data links should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and
b) proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, where such procedures have
been established and promulgated in the Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030); or
c) if no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels
normally used for IFR flight by:
1) 150 m (500 ft) in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 300 m (1 000 ft) is applied; or
2) 300 m (1 000 ft) in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 600 m (2 000 ft) is applied.
