Q

What is the procedure to be followed whenever a flight is inbound from NZCI to NZCH below FL 245?

A
  • Auckland Oceanic will not issue route clearances for IFR flights below FL 245 (uncontrolled airspace).
  • They will instruct the aircraft to contact the relevant controlling sector prior to entry.
  • The sector will issue the aircraft with the STAR which constitutes a clearance into controlled airspace.
  • If STAR POP-UP not available, the the aircraft shall be issued a route clearance to DEST (i.e. Enter controlled airspace at LALAP [at level] cleared to CH VOR)

Q

What effect does a change of CFL have on the flight plan of an aircraft to which a climbing condition has been entered via the coordination window?

A

Modification of CFL will cancel previous climbing/descending coordination sent to OCS via the Coordination Window.
If coordination with OCS results in a change to CFL,
- Change Skyline CFL, AND
- All level data (incl. XING) shall be entered into the Coordination Window again to ensure correct levels are sent to OCS

Q

Under what conditions are flights inbound to AREA from GOPLU and KABKA considered laterally separated from each other?

A

Flights on the GOPLU transition to SIMZI and flights on the BELEE Arrival (STAR) from KABKA are laterally separated from each other.

  • If no STAR in STAR POP-UP, or flight is not STAR capable, then coordination is required with adjacent sector.
