GENERAL
These rules are developed with the intention to enhance the efficiency and safety of flexible use
of the specified entry/exit point operations.
These rules are applied to the air transport operations, in which case the operator has a flexible
choice for the specified entry/exit points listed below.
FLIGHT PLANNING
Air transport operator who intends to conduct flight operations by flexibly choosing the specified
entry/exit points is requested to submit initial flight plan application prior to implementation accord-
ing to relevant regulations. The application shall indicate flexible operation, the entry/exit points
and the routes to be used.
Non-scheduled flight shall indicate one primary entry/exit point and not more than two alternative
points.

RULES OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FLEXIBLE USE OF THE SPECIFIED ENTRY/EXIT POINTS
Air transport operator who intends to conduct flight operations via Y1, Y2, L888 by choosing the
specified entry/exit points among RULAD, KAMUD, SAGAG is requested to submit an independ-
ent flight plan application prior to implementation according to relevant regulations.
The approval procedure of initial flight plan application shall be applied according to the existing
regulations. Once the initial flight plan application of a scheduled flight has got approved, the flight
route within China FIRs must be implemented in accordance with that approved.
Aircraft operator or local ATS units shall submit flight plan not less than 2.5 hours prior to the Esti-
mated Time of Departure. Local ATS units shall submit flight plan not less than 2 hours prior to
the Estimated Time of Departure to Air Traffic Management Bureau of CAAC, ATC units con-
cerned along the routes within China FIRs as well as the ACCs related to the alternative entry/exit
points in the flight plan.
For the flight of conducting the flexible operation, within a time limit from 15 minutes prior to its
entry into China FIRs, the aircraft operator or the air crew members shall inform the relevant ACC
of the flights estimated flyover time and altitude at the entry/exit point, and obtain permission for
its entry.
Once the flight plan message is transmitted, amendments are not allowed except for the special
circumstances. If the amendments to the flight plan message are made for special reasons, a
cancel message is to be sent. Aircraft cannot take off within 1 hour after a new flight plan mes-
sage is transmitted. Once the aircraft takes off, the amendments to the flight plan are not allowed.
The ATC units concerned can refuse to accept the flights without approval or failed to adhere to
the flight plan and the operator shall be responsible for the consequences.
Flexible use of the flight routes within China FIRs that link the specified entry/exit points is deter-
mined by relevant unit of China, the aircraft operator shall organize and implement operation
within the scope of approved initial flight plan.

MANDATORY CARRIAGE
All IFR/GAT flights or parts thereof operating in 8.33kHz airspace above FL195 within the IFPZ or
below FL195 in airspace classes “A”, “B” or “C” located in the following states must be equipped
with 8.33kHz capable radios: Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands and United Kingdom.
From January 2018 all airspace users, unless notified otherwise, will be required to be equipped
with 8.33 kHz capable radios.
AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT
Aircraft must be equipped with two independent sets of 8.33kHz radios.
Pilot in command is ultimately responsible that 8.33kHz channel spacing capable radio communi-
cation equipment is available, and operational on board the aircraft.
EXEMPTIONS
Non-8.33kHz equipped flights are:
– Not permitted unless exempted by States overflown.
– Subject to Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS) flight plan rejection or warning notifica-
tion, if planned to enter the airspace of mandatory carriage without exemption.
States, in the area of 8.33kHz mandatory carriage, may publish exemptions to the carriage
requirement within their area of responsibility. An exemption allows non-8.33kHz equipped aircraft
to fly within that portion of the airspace of mandatory carriage, where the exemption applies.
For details refer to ATC State Pages.
FLIGHT PLAN
General Procedures
Do not plan a flight in the ICAO EUR Region above FL195 if the aircraft is not equipped with
8.33kHz capable radios, unless the flight is subject to exemption.

If a State Aircraft is equipped with 8.33kHz capable radios, then regardless of the flight level:
– insert the letter “Y” in Item 10 of the standard flight plan; or
– insert the letter “Y” in Item Q of the repetitive flight plan.
If a State aircraft is not 8.33kHz compliant, but is UHF equipped, then:
– insert the letters “U” and “Z” in Item 10 and the indicator COM/EXM833 in Item 18 of the
standard flight plan; or
– insert the indicator COM/EXM833 in Item Q of the repetitive flight plan.
The only non-8.33kHz equipped aircraft permitted to fly in 8.33kHz airspace are State aircraft with
UHF radio equipment, where UHF coverage is provided or special handling procedures are imple-
mented.
Hospital and Search & Rescue Flights
HOSP or SAR flights 8.33kHz equipped, should insert the letter “Y” in Item 10 of the standard
flight plan regardless of the flight level.
To ensure the correct processing of a HOSP or SAR flight, it is required to insert the indicator
STS/HOSP or STS/SAR, as appropriate, in Item 18 of the standard flight plan.
It is important to note that HOSP and SAR flights are not exempted from the 8.33kHz radios man-
datory carriage requirement. Non-8.33kHz and non-UHF equipped HOSP/SAR flight will be han-
dled outside of the 8.33kHz airspace where no exemption applies.

– the planning of DCT segments that are partially outside the vertical and lateral limits of MUAC
FRA (re-entry segments) is not allowed;
– the planning of DCT segments across the MUAC FRA border (cross border DCT) is not
allowed, except to/from those FRA relevant significant points located outside the MUAC AOR.
Name-Code Designator for FRA Significant Points for MUAC FRA
Eligible Flights
Eligible flights are those overflights that enter and exit DFS FRA.
Additional eligible flights are those that depart from or arrive at aerodromes below the lateral area
of DFS FRA or in its proximity and have a requested flight level above FL245 within the FRA.
Flight Planning
During the time of application of DFS FRA, airspace users have the following three options for
flight planning:
a. along published ATS routes;
b. along DCTs as published in RAD; or
c. in accordance with FRA.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL DATA - EASTERN EUROPE 578
EASTERN EUROPE
FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE (FRA)
The general RAD DCT limit will be kept at 0NM. So, only those DCTs available from FRA (via
published entry, exit, departure, arrival or intermediate points) or DCTs as published in RAD
Appendix 4 can be used.
Within DFS FRA, DCT segments shall not be planned closer than 2.5NM to the lateral border of
the respective FRA cell.
Overflying Traffic, Cross-Border Application and Access to/from Terminal Airspace
Except for segments defined in ATS Routes, RAD Appendix 4 and SID/STAR:
– lateral entry and exit to/from DFS FRA Cells shall be planned using FRA entry and FRA exit
points only;
– vertical entry and exit to/from DFS FRA cells shall be planned using FRA departure and FRA
arrival points; entry/exit for arrivals and departures might also be possible via FRA intermediate
points connected to ATS route segments;
– the planning of DCT segments that are partially outside the vertical and lateral limits of DFS
FRA cells (re-entry segments) is not allowed;
– cross-border (DCT) is not allowed, except to/from those FRA relevant significant points that are
located outside the respective DFS FRA cells.
ATS Route Network
Within the FRA cells where FRA is only available at night, the ATS route network remains and is
available H24.
Within the FRA cells where FRA is available H24, the ATS route network has been partially
removed above FL285/FL315 to force overflying traffic on to FRA DCT options. Kept segments
above FL285/FL315 are available H24 and adapted to ensure connectivity between FRA and the
fixed ATS route network.
Additionally, numerous direct routings (DCTs) as laid down in the (RAD Appendix 4 remain availa-
ble in all areas.
Overflying Traffic
Overflying traffic shall plan its route within FRASAI airspace between FRA entry, FRA exit and
FRA intermediate points.
Flight Planning
Within FRASAI airspace users will be able to plan user-preferred trajectories through the use of
significant waypoints and/or enroute radio navigation aids and DCT instructions.
Cross-border Application
Flight plans with the DCT keyword across the FRASAI borders (cross-border DCT) will not be
allowed. Entry and/or exit from FRASAI airspace must be planned only over the entry and exit
points published to the effect. Following IFPS procedures, DCT segment which starts in an ACC
and ends in another ACC which does not belong to the same ANSP will not be permitted.
Airspace Reservation - Special Areas
When not available for general air traffic operations, aircraft operators will plan their trajectory
around segregated airspace by using the relevant DCTs published for this purpose in Appendix 4
of the RAD.
Occasionally, tactical radar vectoring might be applied in order to ensure additional safety margin
between published segregated airspace boundaries and aircraft trajectories. In case there is no
availability to cross segregated areas, the average flight extension to be considered by aircraft
operators is approximately 5NM, in exceptional cases 15NM.
ATS Route Network
There will be no route network within FRASAI. The existing routes will be withdrawn and replaced
by DCT segments that will be published in Appendix 4 of the RAD.
Flight Crew Requirements
In order to expedite ATC clearances, flight crews will be requested to report the next DCT point or
radio navigation aid in their first radio communication with Madrid ACC.
Name-Code Designator for FRA Significant Points for FRASAI
ACC and Seville ACC. FRA airspace incorporates the portion of airspace in Madrid UIR where air
traffic services are provided by Lisbon ACC.
Overflying Traffic
Overflight traffic should plan directly from FRA airspace entry point to FRA airspace exit point.
Flight Planning
Cross-border Application
Cross-border DCT is not allowed. Following IFPS procedures, DCT segment which ends in the
FIR but starts in another FIR which is not part of the same national airspace is NOT permitted.
Airspace users will have to plan their trajectory inside FRA in Lisbon FIR by use of intermediate
waypoints.
Access to/from Terminal Airspace
Arriving traffic should plan directly from FRA airspace entry point to the STAR initial waypoint.
Departing traffic should plan directly from the SID final waypoint to the FRA airspace exit point.
Flight planning within the FRA area will accomplish with adjacent ATS Route network orientation.
For southbound traffic via NELSO connecting to UN741, ODD and EVEN levels are available
50NM prior arriving NELSO waypoint.
Airspace Reservation - Special Areas
Aircraft operator will plan their trajectory inside FRA disregarding all segregated airspace. In case
there is no availability to cross segregated areas, it is expected that the average route extension
to be considered by aircraft operators is approximately 5NM, in exceptional occasions 15NM.
However, in most cases, radar vectors shall be provided by ATC. In case of contingency a
reduced ATS route structure above FL245 will apply.
Flight Level Orientation System
For speed and level changes inside FRA, on flight plan Item 15, additionally to a waypoint or
navaid and only for this purpose, operators may also use LAT/LONG coordinates. In terms of
flight planning, Item 15, flight levels within FRA will respect the table of cruising levels (see differ-
ences from ICAO Standards), with the exception of waypoint RIVRO/BARDI. By letter of agree-
ment, traffic intending to enter Lisbon FIR via RIVRO/BARDI must enter in odd flight levels and
traffic intending exit Lisbon FIR via RIVRO below FL245 (UM191/B47) or BARDI above FL245
must exit in even flight levels.
Flight Level Orientation Scheme within Lisbon FIR
There is no restrictions on the maximum DCT distance that can be flight planned between points
in FRAIT.
Cross-border Application
Planning of DCT segments across FRAIT borders (cross border DCT) is not allowed; entry and
exit from FRAIT borders shall be planned using the published Entry/Exit Points between two con-
cerned neighbouring ACCs.
Planning of DCT segments that are partially outside the lateral limits of FRAIT is not allowed (mul-
tiple re-entry segments). The DCT segment is not allowed at a distance of 5NM or less from the
boundary between two neighbouring ANSP.
The use of LAT/LONG shall be avoided.
Vertical Connectivity
Inbound traffic to Italian airports, or airports close to the boundary, has to be planned until the
point where the flight intends to cross FL305 to join the ATS Network. One mandatory point has to
be filled in the flight plan to indicate the point where the flight shall leave FRAIT to join the ATS
Network. For departing traffic from Italian airports, or airports close to the boundary, the aircraft
operator shall plan ATS network until the point where the flight intends to cross FL305 to entry
into FRAIT.

cedures are carried out exactly as possible. Pilots are strongly requested to inform ATC if for any
reason the approach and/or holding cannot be performed as required.
DEPARTING FLIGHTS
IFR flights departing from controlled aerodrome will receive initial ATS clearance from the local
tower. The clearance limit will normally be the destination aerodrome.
The pilot-in-command shall make take-off within 1 minute when obtaining take-off clearance after
reaching line up position. If take-off has not been made within the said period, it is necessary to
request a new clearance.

– the aircraft is crossing the track of the aircraft with mass of 136000kg and more;
– the aircraft is succeeding the aircraft with mass of 136000kg and more uses the same
runway or the parallel runway, the centerline of which is on the distance less than 0.54NM
(1km) from the centerline of the parallel runway.
Take-off clearance to the succeeding aircraft can be issued when the preceding departing aircraft
is airborne and has passed the point located at a distance of not less than 2500m from the suc-
ceeding aircraft.
Landing clearance can be issued to the flight crew of the succeeding aircraft when there is a rea-
sonable confidence that at the moment of crossing the runway threshold:
– the preceding aircraft has landed and has passed the point located at a distance of not less
than 2500m from runway threshold, is moving and will vacate runway without backtracking;
– the departing aircraft is airborne and has passed the point located at a distance of not less than

aircraft belongs to category 3:
– has carried out a landing and passed the point located at a distance of not less than
2400m from the runway threshold, is moving and shall vacate the runway without
backtracking; or
– is airborne and has passed the point located at a distance of not less than 2400m
from runway threshold.
b. departing aircraft:
1. Category 2 aircraft can be given the clearance for take-off, when the preceding depart-
ing aircraft belongs to category 1 or 2, is airborne and has passed the point located at a
distance of not less than 1500m from the succeeding aircraft.
2. The aircraft can be given the clearance for take-off when the preceding departing air-
craft of category 3 is airborne and has passed the point located at a distance of not less

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Flights by foreign aircraft in Uzbekistan are to be conducted only along the established interna-
tional airways unless competent authorities have introduced different procedures.
BORDER CROSSING
a. Crews operating international flights within the airspace of Uzbekistan shall maintain radio
communication in English or Russian language according to agreements on air traffic
between Uzbekistan and the foreign States. These communications shall utilize standard
radio communication phraseology.
b. Traffic from Kabul FIR (AMDAR) shall request clearance to cross the Uzbekistan State
border, from the appropriate ATS unit, at least 10 minutes before border crossing. The pilot
shall report the call sign (flight number) location, flight level (flight altitude) and estimated
time of crossing the border.
c. If direct ground communication exists between ATS units of Uzbekistan and an adjacent
State, pilot shall obtain a clearance to cross the Uzbekistan State border from the ATS unit
by which they are supervised. A preliminary request by the aircrew for a clearance from the
Uzbekistan ATS unit is not required.
If clearance is not received, the crew shall execute a left or right turn, not closer than 27NM
(50km) to the border, and orbit until crossing clearance has been obtained.
d. If there are differences between the cruising level systems of Uzbekistan and an adjacent
state, the flight level change shall be carried out 16NM (30km) before crossing the State
border as instructed by ATC or at the crew’s discretion unless otherwise directed by ATC.
e. Aircraft departing aerodromes in the vicinity of the border, either in Uzbekistan or an adja-
cent State, can expect a clearance to cross the border at that departure aerodrome from the
appropriate ATC unit.
f. Crossing the State border of the Republic of Uzbekistan without radio communication is
strictly prohibited, unless two-way communication failure has taken place during an approved
transit flight (without landing on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan or with landing at
final destination on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan). If aircraft has been identified
it will receive most favorable allowance to continue to its destination or to land at alternate
aerodrome in accordance with flight plan.
g. If unable to continue the flight after crossing the Uzbekistan State border, a return crossing
of the Uzbekistan border shall be carried out along the same corridor with permission of the
Uzbekistan ATC unit.
h. If crossing the Uzbekistan State border the crew shall report to ATC flight level and actual
time of crossing the border.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) - Hold-
ing Procedures”, Table IV-1-1, Holding Speeds.
To facilitate arrangement for aircraft’s landing sequence, holding patterns are established along
airways and within aerodrome tower control area.
Levels in Holding Pattern
8400m (27600ft) or below and from 8900m (29100ft) up to 12500m (41100ft), each level is sepa-
rated by 300m (1000ft), above 12500m (41100ft) by 600m (2000ft). A minimum holding level will
at least provide a clearance of 600m (2000ft) above the highest obstacle on the ground and at
least 300m (1000ft) higher than the initial approach altitude/height.
An aircraft in a holding pattern shall comply with the instructions issued by air traffic controller to
fly strictly at a designated flight level and within designated holding pattern.
China has started applying the Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) flight technique to
their straight-in non-precision approaches while eliminating the step-down or dive-and-drive
option. Pilots are reminded to check their Flight Operations Manual (FOM) or similar documents
describing the operational procedure of the operator for any requirement to apply an add-on when
using a MDA(H) as a DA(H).
Jeppesen charts will show the label CDFA in the minimums box with corresponding RVR/VIS
values. If the CDFA flight technique is not used the shown RVR/VIS need to be increased by
200m for Cat A and B aircraft, and by 400m for Cat C and D aircraft.
Non-CDFA approach profiles and respective minimums will only be shown in exceptional cases.
Unless otherwise stated, procedures are speed restricted to a max IAS of 260kmh (140kt) (CAT
B) and 350kmh (190kt) (CAT C/D).
Unless otherwise specified, all missed approach turns are limited to 350kmh (190kt).
COMMUNICATIONS
All flights entering the Sanya FIR should establish two-way radio communication with Sanya ACC
5 minutes before designated reporting points.
The flight crew shall maintain radio communication with the air traffic controller and strictly
observe the prescribed communication procedures, from the time of starting aircraft engines for
take-off up to the time of leaving aerodrome tower control area, or from the time of entering aero-
drome tower control area up to the time of stopping aircraft engines after landing.
exit. Without such clearance no aircraft is permitted to make entry into or exit from the FIR’s boun-
daries.
Aircraft flying over a specified reporting point shall immediately make a position report to the rele-
vant ATC unit. A position report shall contain:
a. aircraft call sign;
b. position;
c. time in hours and minutes;
d. flight altitude (or flight level) and flight conditions;
e. estimated time of flying over the next reporting point or estimated time of arrival at the aero-
drome of landing;
f. any other particulars requested by the ATC unit or deemed necessary to be reported by the
aircrew.
An aircraft shall report to the next ATC unit prior to crossing the boundaries of controlled areas
such information as the expected crossing time, flight altitude (or flight level) and flight conditions.
While crossing the boundaries of controlled areas, the air crew shall make position reports
respectively to the controlled ACC’s they are entering and leaving.
TAKE-OFF CLEARANCE
Before an aircraft taxis into the runway-in-use, the pilot shall complete his preflight preparations
and checks. Taxiing into the take-off position is not allowed until clearance from the aerodrome
tower controller is obtained. An aircraft shall take-off at once upon receipt of take-off clearance. If
it fails to take-off within 1 minute, the pilot shall request another clearance.
When taking off, an aircraft shall commence its take-off run from the take-off position near the
runway threshold unless obtaining a clearance from ATC.
LANDING CLEARANCE
An aircraft may approach to land, only after a clearance has been obtained from ATC, and shall
break away from runway as soon as the landing is completed.
Traffic Circuit
An aerodrome traffic circuit is normally a left-hand one. It may, however, be a right-hand traffic
circuit if it is constrained by the conditions of terrain or city location or if it is to avoid crossing with
the traffic circuit of adjacent aerodrome.
An aircraft on traffic circuit is forbidden to overtake another aircraft of the same type. Aircraft shall
maintain a minimum separation of 1500m between them on the same traffic circuit. However, air-
craft with higher speed may, with the clearance of the air traffic controller, overtake another of
lower speed from the outer side before base-turn while maintaining a minimum lateral separation
of 200m. No aircraft shall overtake the preceding one from the inner side unless an immediate
landing is imminent.
ALTIMETRY
General
At aerodromes where transition altitudes and transition levels are established
Before take-off, the aircraft altimeter subscale shall be set to QNH of the aerodrome. After take-
off, upon reaching the transition altitude the altimeter subscale shall be set to 1013.2hPa. When
an aircraft is passing through a transition level during descent, the altimeter subscale shall be set
to QNH of the aerodrome.
At aerodromes where transition heights and transition levels are established
Before take-off, the aircraft altimeter subscale shall be set to the atmospheric pressure at the aer-
odrome elevation. After take-off, upon reaching the transition height the altimeter subscale shall
be set to 1013.2hPa. When an aircraft is passing through a transition level during descent, the
altimeter subscale shall be set to the atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome elevation.
At aerodromes where transition altitudes or transition heights and transition levels are not
established
Before take-off, the aircraft altimeter subscale shall be set to the atmospheric pressure at the aer-
odrome elevation. After take-off, when the aircraft has reached a height of 600m, the altimeter
subscale shall be set to 1013.2hPa. During the process of descending in the aerodrome tower
control area, the aircraft shall start altimeter setting by the instruction of air traffic controller.
At aerodromes of high elevation
When the aircraft altimeter subscale cannot be set to the atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome
elevation, it will then be set to 1013.2hPa before take-off, with the indicated altitude interpreted as
zero altitude. When the aircraft altimeter subscale cannot be set to the atmospheric pressure at
the aerodrome elevation, landing is to be made with the assumed zero altitude notified by the air
traffic controller before landing.
Zhuhai TMA
– aircraft entering the Zhuhai TMA at or above the transition level should set the altimeter to
1013.2hPa;
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - CHINA 778
CHINA, P.R. OF
RULES AND PROCEDURES
– aircraft entering the Zhuhai TMA below the transition level or descending from or passing
through the transition level should set the altimeter to the Zhuhai TMA QNH;
– aircraft approaching an airport or heliport, and intercepting the intermediate approach segment,
should set the altimeter to the local QNH of the airport or heliport;
– prior to take-off, the altimeter should be set to the QNH of the take-off airport;
– after take-off, the altimeter should be set to the Zhuhai TMA QNH by ATC instruction;
– aircraft operating flight exercise at an airport within the Zhuhai TMA should set the altimeter to
the airport QNH or Zhuhai TMA QNH according to ATC instructions.

Longitudinal Separation
50NM separation minimum may be applied between aircrafts on L642, M771, 80NM RNAV or 10
minutes (or less) Mach number technique (MNT) separation minimum may be applied between
aircraft on N892.
Contingency Procedures
When an aircraft is flying in island controlled airspace in the Sanya FIR, the pilot shall obtain an
ATC clearance before initiating any deviation action.
If the aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, the pilot shall,
whenever possible, obtain a revised clearance prior to initiating any action by making a distress or
urgency transmission on the appropriate frequency.
When an aircraft is flying in oceanic controlled airspace in the Sanya FIR, and unable to continue
flight in accordance with its ATC clearance and controller-to-pilot communications are estab-
lished, the controller shall:
a. if possible, establish standard separation;
b. if this is not possible, provide essential traffic information to all aircraft affected and may pro-
vide advice to resolve the situation, including the use of reduced vertical separation.
When an aircraft is flying in oceanic controlled airspace in the Sanya FIR, and unable to continue
flight in accordance with its ATC clearance and controller-to-pilot communications are not estab-
lished, the pilot shall comply with the appropriate ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures.
a. city pairs;
b. flight schedules;
c. starting time;
d. aircraft type;
e. satellite telephone numbers for the fleet;
f. procedure of emergent escape (exception ATS routes Y1, Y2).
In the area where CPDLC/ADS-C is the primary means of communication/surveillance on above
mentioned routes, reduced longitudinal separation may be applied between the aircraft with a
specific operation approval of RCP240 and RSP180. However, RCP240 and RSP180 are not
mandated for flying on these routes. If either or both aircraft do not have RCP240 or RSP180
approval, the ATS units will apply procedural separation minimum between them.
When CPDLC/ADS-C is applied as alternate means of communication/surveillance, the pilot
should also establish CPDLC/ADS-C connection with the controlling ATS unit. In the event that
the primary means of communication and/or surveillance fails, the pilot shall switch to above alter-
nate means seamless and adhere to the following CPDLC/ADS-C procedures.
Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC)
General
Once a CPDLC connection is established, the pilot should send a downlink CPDLC position
report.
The flight identification used by the pilot in the logon process should be in accordance with that
contained in the flight plan.
Once a CPDLC application is initiated, the pilot should respond to CPDLC uplinks within one
minute or select STANDBY when additional time is required to respond.
Transferring CPDLC Connections
When the aircraft is within a non-CPDLC service area and the next controlling ATS unit is a
CPDLC service area, the pilot should initiate a logon to the next ATS unit 15 minutes in advance.
When flying through CPDLC service areas, the CPDLC connection will be transferred automati-
cally between ATS units by the Address Forwarding process, unless the transferring ATS unit
instruct the flight crew to logon manually at an appropriate time/distance prior to the next ATS unit
boundary.
When a transfer of CPDLC results in a change of data authority, and there are still messages for
which the closure response has not been received (i.e. messages outstanding), the controller
shall be informed.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - CHINA 784
CHINA, P.R. OF
RULES AND PROCEDURES
ADS-C Service
General
Prior to entering the designated airspace, the pilot shall verify ADS-C service is available for oper-
ation.
If the aircraft is flying an offset route or diverting while operating in heading select mode, the intent
of the aircraft will still be projected along the FMC flight plan route regardless of the actual route
flown. To avoid misinformation being displayed to the controller, the FMC flight plan route should
be amended to the actual route being flown.
The aircraft must be capable of supporting ADS-C agreements with at least four ATC unit ADS-C
ground systems simultaneously.
When an ADS-C ground system attempts to establish an ADS-C agreement with an aircraft and is
unable to do so due to the aircraft's inability to support an additional ADS contract, the aircraft
should reply with the ICAO location indicators or eightletter facility indicators of the ground sys-
tems with which it currently has contracts, in order for the ATC unit to negotiate a contract
release.
Transfer of Control of ADS-C Aircraft
The pilot shall re-establish communication via voice with the ATS unit as soon as the exit of data
link route service.
Flight Plan
Operators and their flight service agencies that conduct operations on above-mentioned data link
routes entering China mainland FIR should add the AFTN address of Flight Plan Processing
Center of ATMB, CAAC (ZBPEZMFP and ZSHAZMFP) when filing flight plan messages
(FPL/CHG/DLA/ CNL/DEP/ARR, etc.).
Operators planned to conduct flights on above-mentioned data link routes should file the RCP and
RSP capabilities approved by the State of Registry or State of Operator in the flight plan. The
operators should be responsible for the accuracy of the filed RCP and RSP capability.
Operators planned to conduct flights on above-mentioned data link routes should file 'COM/' of
Item 18 with the SATVOICE phone number in the flight plan. For instance: 'COM/SAT PHONE
20441720'.
Emergency Procedures
In case of emergency, the pilot shall operate the ACARS with an ADS EMERGENCY MODE to
notify the ground facility for the emergency, and resume voice communication with ATC authority
by the most efficient method as soon as possible.
CPDLC Failure
The controller and pilot shall be alerted to the failure of CPDLC as soon as the failure has been
detected.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - CHINA 785
CHINA, P.R. OF
RULES AND PROCEDURES
When a controller or pilot is alerted that CPDLC has failed, and the controller or pilot needs to
communicate prior to CPDLC being restored, the controller or pilot should revert to voice, if possi-
ble, and preface the information with the phrase: 'CPDLC FAILURE'.
Procedures for no longer meeting RCP240/RSP180 Operational Requirement
The pilot should contact the controller immediately after the loss of RCP240/RSP180 capability
during the flight in the CPDLC/ADS-C service area where CPDLC/ADS-C is the primary or alter-
nate means of communication/surveillance.

DCL and D-ATIS datalink service will be available to aircraft equipped with air/ground datalink
capability.
ADCC datalink service will be used as the service provided between aircraft and the DCL and D-
ATIS system at airports.
Trial Operation Period
Prior to finalizing the implementation of the DCL and D-ATIS datalink service, a trial operation
with suitably equipped aircraft will be conducted to assess the capability and reliability of this
datalink service.
During the trial period, pilots will receive the DCL and D-ATIS service message with “TRIAL
OPERATION”. Pilot still should repeat clearance delivery on the appropriate frequency to the con-
troller after receiving clearance delivered by DCL to ensure the service security. Pilot still should
listen to the radio ATIS on VHF or UHF frequencies after receiving D-ATIS service to ensure the
service security.
During the trial period, the existing voice links (VHF and UHF) will remain as the primary commu-
nication channels for all aircraft. The period of datalink service trial operation will end at the 31st
January 2018 (UTC). After that time is normal operation.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
HOLDING
Holding procedures comply with Jeppesen ATC-Chapter “Flight Procedures (DOC 8168) - Hold-
ing Procedures”, Table IV-1-1, Holding Speeds.
Due to the proximity of the FIR boundary to the north, pilots carrying out holding procedures are
advised to maintain a careful cross-check of aircraft positions by the use of appropriate navigation
aids to ensure that the aircraft remains within the Hong Kong FIR.
Pilots not receiving a good instrument indication from a specific aid should inform ATC accord-
ingly and should not descend below 4500ft until they have positively identified their exact location.

b. when vacating the transition altitude on a climb, if within 50NM from the airport.
The time based wake turbulence separation minimums listed in the table below shall be applied
during the take-off phase when aircraft are using the same runway:
Wake turbulence separation criteria are the minimums and may be increased at the discretion of
ATC or at the request of a pilot. However any request for increased separation by a pilot must be
made prior to commencing final approach or before entering the runway for departure. A request
by a pilot on final approach may result in a missed approach and a request from a pilot on the
runway will cause unnecessary delay to other traffic.
The application of the time based criteria is predicated on providing the required separation mini-
mums between successive departures, therefore the timing is based on the commencement of
take-off roll of the two aircraft concerned.
If an aircraft or helicopter is positioning visually behind preceding traffic, it is the pilot’s responsibil-
ity to establish the required wake turbulence separation. However, ATC will remind the pilot of
potential hazard by using the phrase ‘caution turbulent wake’ whenever necessary.
Pilots are reminded that the application of the wake turbulence separation minimums is to reduce
the possibility of a wake turbulence encounter. However the hazard cannot be completely over-
come and a pilot may still experience wake turbulence from the preceding aircraft especially in
calm or very light cross wind situations.

Ulaanbaatar (Chinggis Khaan Intl), Choibalsan (Dornod).
Emergency
Emergency
i. pilots are to contact the next adjacent ACC as soon as possible, and in any event not less
than ten (10) minutes before the estimated time of arrival over the relevant exit point from
the affected airspace in order to obtain clearance for entering the adjacent FIR concerned;
j. change the flight level (altitude) of the flight only in exceptional cases (emergency situation,
dangerous weather conditions, TCAS command execution);
k. before changing the flight level, transfer intentions, then, without changing the flight level,
turn the aircraft to the right to 30 degrees from the axis of the route and after 20km, bring it
to the previous course with simultaneous altitude change to the chosen flight level. When
changing the flight level, report own call sign, location, release and occupation of the
assigned flight level;
l. in the event that ATS cannot be provided at destination aerodrome, for landing shall be
used alternate aerodrome or other aerodrome, chosen by pilots during the flight.
Interception of Civil Aircraft
Pilots need to be aware that a contingency routing requiring aircraft to operate off normal traffic
flows may result in interception by military aircraft.
Pilots are to comply with instructions given by the pilot of the intercepting aircraft. In such circum-
stances, the pilot of the aircraft being intercepted shall broadcast information on the situation.
If circumstances lead to the closure of the airspace and no contingency routes are available, air-
craft will be required to remain clear of the contingency affected airspace.
Pilots shall continuously guard the VHF emergency frequency 121.5MHz and should operate their
transponder at all times during flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside air-
space where Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) is used for ATS purposes. Transponders
should be set on the last discrete code assigned by ATC or select code А2000 if no code was
assigned.
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
The main communication facility is the use of VHF radio communication facilities, auxiliary - HF
radio communication or other possible communication channels.
If communications are lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, pilots should try the next
appropriate frequency, that is, the next normal handover frequency or to the last frequency where
two-way communication had been established. In the absence of communication with ATC, the
pilot should continue to make routine position reports on the assigned frequency.
b. Flights are to file a flight plan (FPL) using the Contingency Routes according to their airport
of departure and destination;
c. Pilots are to keep a continuous watch on the communication lines and transmit in English
position information and estimates in line with normal ATC position reporting procedures;
d. Pilots are to maintain during their entire flight time within Ulaanbaatar FIR, the flight level last
assigned by the last ACC responsible prior to the aircraft entering the Ulaanbaatar FIR, and
under no circumstances change this level and Mach Number, except in cases of emergency
and for flight safety reasons. In addition, the last SSR transponder assigned shall be main-
tained or, if no transponder has been assigned, transmit on SSR code 2000;
e. Aircraft are to reach the flight level last assigned by the responsible ACC at least 10 minutes
before entering the Ulaanbaatar FIR or as otherwise instructed by the ATC unit in accord-
ance with the Obstacle Clearance Altitude within Mongolia;
f. Pilots are to include in their last position report prior to entering the Ulaanbaatar FIR, the
estimated time over the entry point of the Ulaanbaatar FIR and the estimated time of arrival
over the relevant exit point of the Ulaanbaatar FIR;
g. Pilots are to contact the next adjacent ACC as soon as possible, and at the latest, 10
minutes before the estimated time of arrival over boundary point;
h. Whenever emergencies and/or flight safety reasons make it impossible to maintain the flight
level assigned for transit of Ulaanbaatar FIR, pilots are to climb or descend well to the right
of the center line of the contingency route, and if deviating outside the Ulaanbaatar FIR, to
inform immediately the ACC responsible for that airspace. Pilots are to make blind broadcast
on 121.5MHz of containing following:
– aircraft call sign;
– aircraft position;
– flight levels being vacated and crossed; and
– other relevant information.
i. Not all operational circumstances can be addressed by this Contingency Plan and pilots are
to maintain a high level of alertness when operating in the contingency airspace and take
appropriate action to ensure safety of flight.
Interception of Civil aircraft
Pilots need to be aware that in light of current international circumstances, a contingency routing
requiring aircraft to operate off normal traffic flows, could result in an intercept by military aircraft.
If circumstances lead to the closure of Mongolian airspace and no contingency routes are availa-
ble aircraft will be required to route around Mongolian airspace.
Pilots need to continuously guard the VHF emergency frequency 121.5MHz and should operate
their transponder at all times during flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside
airspace where SSR is used for ATS purposes. Transponders should be set on a discrete code
assigned by controller or select code 2000 if controller has not assigned a code.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - EASTERN EUROPE 998

CONTINGENCY PLANS - EASTERN EUROPE
Communication Procedures
When operating within the contingency airspace of the Ulaanbaatar FIR, pilots should use normal
radio communication procedures where ATS are available. These will be in accordance with the
communication procedures in this Plan or as otherwise notified by NOTAM.
If communications are lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, pilots should try the next
applicable frequency, e.g. if en-route contact is lost then try the next appropriate frequency, that
is, the next normal handover frequency. Pilots should also consider attempting to contact ATC on
the last frequency where two-way communication had been established. In the absence of no
communication with ATC, the pilot should continue to make routine position reports on the
assigned frequency, and also broadcast positions on the specified contingency frequency.
e. at first contact while entering Dushanbe FIR the estimated time of the exit from Dushanbe
FIR shall be reported;
f. pilots shall contact the next adjacent ACC as soon as possible, but not later than 10 minutes
before the estimated time of FIR boundary crossing;
g. whenever emergencies or flight safety reasons make impossible to maintain the assigned
flight level while overflying Dushanbe FIR, aircraft must climb or descend well to the right of
the centre line of the Contingency Route. When aircraft deviates outside Dushanbe FIR, the
ATS unit responsible for that airspace shall immediately be informed about it. Details of any
flight level change including aircraft identification, aircraft position and route, vacated flight
level, intended flight level, flight level passed and current flight level must be broadcast on
133.1 MHz;
h. 15-minute longitudinal separation interval must be maintained between aircraft flying at the
same cruising level;
i. pilots shall continue to transmit aircraft position as usual according to ATS standard proce-
dure, irrespective of whether two-way radio communication is available or not;
j. it is not recommended to the flight crews to change the flight level or speed during the flight;
the flight level change shall be carried out only after reporting it or obtaining the instruction
from the appropriate ATS unit;
k. if unable to establish communication with ATS controller, the flight crew shall maintain the
established frequency as long as possible and continue the attempts to establish contact on
the reserve frequencies, including the emergency one;
l. during period of uncertainty when probability of the airspace closure is high, the flight crews
must be ready to possible changes of the flight direction. ATS controllers advise contin-
gency routes to the flight crews.
Not all circumstances can be covered by means of this Contingency Plan, and the flight crews
must maintain high level of alertness while operating flights within Contingency airspace and take
appropriate measures to provide flight safety.
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
In case of the Contingency circumstances pilots shall use normal radio communication proce-
dures, where ATS is available. When ATS is restricted or is not provided within this part of air-
space, communication will be carried out in accordance with the procedures in this Plan, unless
otherwise notified by NOTAM.
If communications are lost unexpectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, primary, reserve, high,
pilots shall follow the last ATS unit instruction (clearance). Pilots must not change FL, flight speed
until the contact with the appropriate ATS unit is established. If communications are lost unex-
pectedly on the normal ATS frequencies, primary, reserve, high, pilots shall follow the last ATS
unit instruction (clearance). Pilots must not change FL, flight speed until the contact with the
appropriate ATS unit is established.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - EASTERN EUROPE 1000
EASTERN EUROPE
CONTINGENCY PLANS - EASTERN EUROPE
Pilots shall continue attempt to establish contact with ATS unit on the last frequency where two-
way communication has been interrupted. Pilots shall continue to make position reports on the
primary frequency and on the specific frequency.
RESERVE ROUTES
In the event of termination of ATS, provided by the ACC of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to
ensure the safety and regularity of flights, reserve air traffic routes (RR) are established, which
ensure a minimum number of conflict situations in the airspace of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
RRs are established on the basis of regular routes, and the vertical separation system ensures a
minimum number of conflict situations in the airspace and reduces traffic capacity due to ATC
restrictions. The separation system provides flights at the FL290 and above.
Priority in the use of flight levels is provided to the aircraft, performing international flights to a
greater range and performing special flights (search and rescue, state aircraft, aircraft engaged in
medical aid flights, transporting humanitarian aid, etc.)
Airlines performing international flights can independently choose alternative routes outside the
restricted area, after preliminary coordination of the flight plan with ATS units along the flight
route.
Reserve routes and applied flight levels for each route are set as follows:
FLYING PROCEDURES
Flight Planning
In case of unforeseen circumstances, the requirements for flight planning are retained in accord-
ance with the AIP of the Republic of Uzbekistan, with the exception of changes to the route part
and the requested flight level.
Overflight clearance
Airlines must obtain permission from the aviation authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan to use
airspace, which introduced procedures related to the violation of ATS. During the validity of this
Contingency Plan, the responsible ATS units issue a permit to enter the FIR, subject to the opera-
tor's receipt of the airspace permit, which introduces procedures related to the violation of ATS.
Flight Procedures
When flying in the FIR of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in which procedures related to the violation
of ATS are introduced, the aircraft crews must:
– maintain a continues listening watch to the operating frequency of the responsible ATS unit;
– transmit reports, without confirmation on the operating frequency and/or emergency frequency
(121.5 MHz);
– in the event of an emergency or threat of the safety flight, report without confirmation at the
referred to above frequencies, the current situation, the beginning and end of climb, descent
and/or deviation from the designated route;
– if possible, maintain a time interval of at least 10 minutes of the ahead flying aircraft at the
same flight level in the airspace of the Republic of Uzbekistan;
– not less than 10 minutes before the exit point from the airspace, where an unforeseen circum-
stance occurred related to the violation of the ATS, establish communication with the control
center, to obtain permission to enter the control zone;
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - EASTERN EUROPE 1002
EASTERN EUROPE
CONTINGENCY PLANS - EASTERN EUROPE
– in the event of an emergency and/or in order to ensure the safety flight, if it is impossible to
maintain the assigned flight level, without changing the flight level, turn the aircraft to the right
30 degrees from the RR axis and, after 20km (10NM), take it to the previous track with simulta-
neous change in altitude to the chosen flight level (altitude), but in all cases not lower than the
lower safe flight level (altitude) in the flight area, with mandatory information at the FIR fre-
quency (including the emergency frequency). After going beyond the airspace, in which ATS
restrictions apply, immediately report to the ATS unit, in the area of responsibility, about chang-
ing the flight level.
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a radio communication failure with the ATS unit at the operating frequency, the
aircraft crews should attempt to establish a radio communication at standby, emergency frequen-
cies, frequencies of adjacent control points. In any case, in the absence of radio communication,
the aircraft crews continue to transmit position messages at the assigned frequency.

watch of the LOM frequency of the landing aerodrome or of the nearest aerodrome along the
route, located in the pertinent ATC area.
BASIC PROCEDURE
VMC
In case of communication failure aircraft shall proceed according to the flight plan to the aero-
drome of first planned landing. If VFR flight is impossible, the pilot shall proceed to the alternate
aerodrome (departure aerodrome) where weather conditions permit a landing in visual conditions.
If the flight involves crossing the Kazakhstan State border, then the established border crossing
procedures should be followed.
Crossing the state border without radio communication is prohibited, except for cases when radio
communication failure occurs in flight under the direct control of ATS units of the Republic of
Kazakhstan or after obtaining the clearance to cross the state border.
Return to the departure aerodrome or flying to an alternate aerodrome shall be carried out at the
nearest lower flight level (but not below the safe flight level), depending on the new heading or at
the level (altitude) specially prescribed for flights with communication failure: FL140 or FL150;
FL240 or FL250.
IMC
In case of communication failure and the aircraft is unable to switch over to VFR, the aircraft shall
proceed to the landing aerodrome in accordance with the flight plan. In this case, the crew shall

maintain a predetermined level before reaching a radio navigation point of the planned landing
aerodrome.
If the flight to the destination aerodrome does not involve crossing the Kazakhstan State border,
the aircraft shall return to the departure aerodrome and make a landing at the nearest alternate
aerodrome. The return flight shall be carried out at the nearest lower flight level (but not below the
safe flight level), depending on the new heading or at the level (altitude) specially prescribed for
flights with communication failure: FL140 or FL150; FL240 or FL250.
If a landing is not possible due to weather conditions and a missed approach is executed, the pilot
shall enter the holding area at the lowest safe level and make a decision, subject to aircraft type
and fuel reserve, to proceed to the nearest alternate aerodrome at the lower safe level or at a
specially prescribed level (altitude) for aircraft without radio contact: FL140 or FL150; FL240 or
FL250.
Upon arriving at the LOM of the aerodrome of destination, the pilot-in-command shall start the
descent for landing approach not earlier than the ETA and follow the prescribed landing approach
pattern. The landing should be completed within 30 minutes after the ETA.
In the case of communication loss with the Tower controller while executing a missed approach,
the crew shall switch to a different frequency communication with the Radar or Approach control-
ler and act on its instructions.
In the case of loss of radio communication after take-off, the pilot-in-command shall perform the
flight according to the arriving scheme and, depend on the weather conditions, make a landing at
the departure aerodrome or follow the nearest alternate aerodrome.
If communication fails while reaching the flight level, the pilot shall maintain the last level given in
the ATC unit clearance, proceed to the exit air corridor NDB and then climb to the assigned flight
level.
If the aircraft has not appeared and has not landed within 30 minutes from ETA, all limitations at
the aerodrome for other aircraft shall be removed.
ALMATY AIRPORT
In case of radio communication failure:
– set up code 7600;
– use the emergency frequency of 121.5MHz, radio contact with other aircraft and ATS units;
– guard the frequency of Almaty VORDME ‘ATA’ 116.4MHz or NDB/MKR ‘A’ 763kHz for informa-
tion and controller instructions;
– if a landing is not possible proceed to the destination aerodrome in accordance with the condi-
tions issued by ATC, or at the specially prescribed level for aircraft without radio contact: FL140
or FL150, FL240 or FL250 depending on the direction of flight;
– carry out approach according to the approach procedure;
– during the flight at night, identify the aircraft position by switching on landing lights periodically
or flashing of aircraft lights.

than 10.8NM (20km) from the airway center line, shall re-assume the former flight heading with
simultaneous change of height to selected flight level. An emergency descent, if required, shall be
performed immediately after the beginning of the 30° turn to the right of the airway center line.
After assuming the new flight level the aircraft shall receive a clearance from ATC and re-enter
the airway.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
GENERAL
In the event of radio communication failure while in compliance with VFR procedure, an aircraft
shall proceed in accordance with the flight plan to the first landing aerodrome. If impossible, the
aircraft shall fly to the alternate aerodrome (departure aerodrome) where the weather conditions
make it possible to land under VFR. If the flight involves crossing the Uzbekistan State border,
follow the Border Crossing as published on Jeppesen ATC-Chapter, State Rules and Procedure
Pages, Uzbekistan.
Crossing of the State border without radio communication is prohibited, except for cases when the
radio communication failure has occurred in flight. If the aircraft carries out an authorized transit
flight (without landing on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan) or flight with destination on
the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is granted the most favorable treatment for the flight
to the destination or for landing at the alternate aerodrome, according to the submitted FPL.
When it is not possible to make a landing on departure or alternate aerodrome, the pilot-in-com-
mand should proceed to the destination according to the SID or proceed to alternate aerodrome
at the minimum flight altitude, or at specially assigned FLs: FL140 (4250m), FL150 (4550m) or
FL240 (7300m) or FL250 (7600m).
In case of pilot-in-command decides to proceed IFR flight to destination aerodrome, it is neces-
sary to proceed at assigned flight level, descent should be started after passing LOM not earlier

than ETA, according to prescribed landing approach pattern, and landing should be made not
later than 30 minutes after the ETA.
In case of radio communication failure in flight the pilot-in-command has the right to decide to:
– continue flight according filed flight plan until destination;
– deviate to one of alternates in the Republic of Uzbekistan as indicated in the ATC flight plan;
– return to origin in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Pilot-in-command should make decision with
respect to flight safety primarily.

Emergency
GENERAL
In general, the Emergency, Unlawful Interference, Communications Failure, Interception and
Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the Standards, Recommended Practices
and Procedures in ICAO Annexes and Documents.
EMERGENCY
PROVISIONAL REGULATIONS ON FOREIGN FLIGHTS USING EMERGENCY
FORCED LANDING AERODROMES
The regulation applies to emergent and unexpected situations in which a foreign flight operating
within the western part of China (within Chinese FIR and to the west of MORIT - B330 - Jintang
VOR 'JTG' - G212 - Panlong VOR 'XFA' - A581 - SAGAG) is not possible to land at the departure/
arrival or alternate aerodrome, and flight crew could choose the nearest pre-published emergency
forced landing aerodrome based on real-time situation to conduct a forced landing on there own.
Emergency forced landing aerodromes are Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, Kuqa (Qiuci), Tulufan (Jiaohe)
and Yushu (Batang). For airport details refer to Airport Directory P.R. of China.
The “foreign flights” refer to the transport flights of foreign airlines or that of Hongkong, Macao or
Taiwan airlines (the business charter flights are not included). When a foreign flight encounters an
emergent situation and decides to use an emergency forced landing aerodrome, the captain shall
immediately inform the appropriate Chinese ATC unit and its airline operator about the relevant
information, including the current state of the aircraft, the flight intention, the tentative emergency
forced landing aerodrome, the requirements for assistance, etc. If the situation permits, the cap-
tain shall inform ATC about the details of on-board dangerous goods as soon as possible.
The flight crew shall keep in touch with the appropriate ATC unit by any available communication
methods. The captain (flight crew) of the forced landing flight or its airline operator shall notify the
forced landing as soon as practicable, to the immigration, customs, inspection and quarantine
authorities at the international aerodrome at which landing was planned, by using any available
communication link.
After landing at the emergency forced landing aerodrome: The captain (flight crew) of the forced
landing aircraft shall follow the unified instructions and arrangement of the airport authority and
commits not to conduct the activities as follows:
a. Passengers and/or crew shall not get in or out of the aircraft without permission.
b. Cargo and/or goods shall not be moved randomly without permission.
c. Damaged aircraft shall not be moved randomly without permission.
The operator or agent of the forced landing aircraft shall launch the emergency procedures at
once to contact the aerodrome concerned, to reach the aerodrome by any available transportation
means in the shortest time and to cooperate pro-actively with the aerodrome authority on the
emergency rescue. The operator or agent shall provide the basic information of the flight to the
concerned aerodrome authority, public security and joint port inspection authorities, and arrange
the transportation for the inspectors of the immigration, customs, inspection and quarantine
authorities in the vicinity to arrive at the aerodrome as soon as possible, and make all the relevant
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - CHINA 1101
CHINA, P.R. OF
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES
payments. The operator or agent who carries out the dangerous goods transportation on the
forced landing aircraft shall promptly provide detailed information about dangerous goods on-
board to the relevant aerodrome authority, public security, and joint port inspection authorities.
The aircraft operator or its agent shall pass through all the regulated procedures and relevant for-
malities of the airport authority, public security, fire control and joint port inspection authorities
before transferring the passengers, flight crew, luggage, cargo and mails of the forced landing air-
craft to another flight or by other transportation means.
UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
The pilot of an aircraft that is being subjected to unlawful interference in flight shall notify an ATC
unit or flight dispatch unit of this fact and in the meantime set his transponder to mode A, code
7500.
If the pilot is unable to notify an ATC unit, he shall continue his flight on the assigned track and at
the assigned cruising level or route and altitude filed in flight plan at least until being able to notify
an ATS unit.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
In VMC: ICAO Procedure.
In IMC: ICAO Procedure, supplemented as follows:
In the event of failure of aircraft communication equipment, the pilot shall duly report this to ATC
and comply with the procedures issued by ATC and the provisions detailed under “Symbols and
Signals for Auxiliary Command and Liaison”.
INTERCEPTION PROCEDURES
Non-standard visual signals used during interception are shown in the following tables.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - CHINA 1103

ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES
GENERAL
In general, the Emergency, Unlawful Interference, Communications Failure, Interception and
Search and Rescue procedures are in conformity with the Standards, Recommended Practices
and Procedures contained in ICAO Annexes and Documents.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
ARRIVAL PROCEDURE
If in VMC, continue to fly in VMC and land at the nearest suitable aerodrome.
If in IMC, or when the pilot of an IFR flight considers it inadvisable to complete the flight in accord-
ance with procedure above, the pilot shall apply the following:
a. If a specific STAR procedure has been designated and acknowledged prior to radio commu-
nication failure, proceed according to the STAR route to the termination point (LIMES for
Rwy 07L/R or TD for Rwy 25L/R), descent in accordance with the published descent profile
of the relevant STAR procedure, thence in accordance to procedures for Rwy 07L/R or
25L/R:
– Rwy 07L/R: Enter the LIMES holding pattern, then descend to 4500ft and carry out the
appropriate ILS approach procedure.
– Rwy 25L/R: Enter the TD holding pattern, then descend to 4500ft and carry out the appro-
priate ILS approach procedure.
b. If no specific STAR procedure has been designated or acknowledged prior to radio commu-
nication failure, endeavour to ascertain the landing direction from any means available.
Follow procedures (1.) or (2.) listed below, then comply with procedures for Rwy 07L/R or
Rwy 25L/R mentioned above:
1. Arrivals should proceed in accordance with the STAR procedure appropriate to their
ATS route and landing direction.
2. Arrivals from SIERA should proceed in accordance with SIERA A or B STARs accord-
ing to the landing direction.
NOTE: Arrange flight to arrive over the approach facility as close as possible to the ETA as indi-
cated in the filed flight plan and revised in accordance with the current flight plan.
Depending on the nature of the radio communication failure pilots may obtain information on land-
ing runway from the following sources: ATIS, D-ATIS, ACARS, satellite phone, etc. In the
absence of such information, pilots should rely on the best available information (e.g. aerodrome
weather forecasts, meteorological reports or any other relevant information obtained prior to the
communication failure), and decide on the most appropriate landing direction. To assist the pilot in
ascertaining the landing direction, the ILS and approach lighting for the runway(s) in use will be
switched on. The ILS and approach lighting for other runways will be switched off.
