STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
a. Aircraft equipped with Mode C shall squawk altimeter when operating transponder on Mode3/A.
b. After selection of the Mode/Code specified by ATC, the transponder should be adjusted onthe “ON” (or normal operating) position as late as practicable prior to take-off and to “OFF” or“STANDBY” as soon as practicable after completing the landing roll.
c. Select or reselect Modes/Codes only as directed by ATC, except in case of:
– unlawful interference (hijacked) — squawk 7500
– communication failure — squawk 7600
– emergency — squawk 7700
CAUTION: Squawking of 75.., 76.., 77.. plus any third or fourth figures will activatealarm system at some ground stations.
d. Squawk 2000 when entering a FIR/UIR from an adjacent region where operating a trans-ponder has not been required or assigned.
STANDARD TRANSPONDER FAILURE PROCEDURE
After Departure
a. ATC Units will endeavour to provide for flight to continue in accordance with flight plan.
b. After landing pilot shall make every effort to have transponder restored to normal operation.
Before Intended Departure
If transponder cannot be restored:
a. Inform ATC, preferably before filing flight plan.
b. Plan to fly by most direct route to nearest suitable airport where repair can be effected, and
c. Insert appropriate code in item 10 of ICAO flight plan.

SSR transponder failure procedures:
a. Failure before departure.
1. The failure only concerns the altitude transmission (mode C):The pilot shall:
(a) inform ATC as early as possible and preferably before fil-ing flight plan;
(b) insert in item 10 of the FPL, under item SSR, letter “A”,indicating to be equipped with a transponder answeringin mode 4096 codes, only.
2. Complete transponder failure (mode A and C): The pilot shall:
(a) imperatively obtain, before departure, a concession deliv-ered by Casablanca ACC. The concession shall deter-mine the requirements concerning the time of departure,authorized airspace, and flight levels attributed.
(b) insert in item 10 of the FPL, under item SSR, letter “N”and in item 18 of the FPL the remark “RMK / CONCES-SION/SSR FAILURE”.
b. Failure after departure.
1. The failure only concerns the altitude transmission (mode C):
in this case, ATC of departing aerodrome and CasablancaACC shall ensure continuation of the flight.
2. Complete transponder failure (mode A and C):
Casablanca ACC may refuse continuation of the flight. In thiscase, the pilot may be requested to return to aerodrome of de-parture or to any alternate aerodrome. If repair is not possible,pilot shall follow the provisions as shown for “FAILURE BE-FORE DEPARTURE”.
c. Failure occurs enroute:
1. The failure only concerns the altitude transmission (mode C):
ATC shall ensure continuation of the flight.
2. Complete transponder failure (mode A and C):
ATC shall try to ensure continuation of the flight to the aero-drome of destination. In certain cases, the pilot may be re-

quested to return to his aerodrome of departure or to any al-ternate aerodrome.
d. The failure occurs before entering controlled airspace:
1. The failure only concerns the altitude transmission (mode C):
ATC shall ensure continuation of the flight according to flightplan.
2. Complete transponder failure (mode A and C):
Casablanca ACC may refuse entry into the controlled air-space, even if an ATS clearance was previously delivered.

IATA IN-FLIGHT BROADCAST PROCEDURE (IFBP) ON 126.9 AFIREGION
LISTENING WATCHA listening watch should be maintained on the designated frequency (126.9 MHz in AFI), 10minutes before entering the designated airspace until leaving this airspace. For an aircraft takingoff from an aerodrome located within the lateral limits of the designated airspace, listening watchshould start as soon as appropriate and be maintained until leaving the airspace.
TIME OF BROADCASTA broadcast should be clearly pronounced in English:
a. 10 minutes before entering or crossing an FIR within IFBP region;
b. For a pilot taking off from an aerodrome located within the IFBP region as soon as appropri-ate;
c. 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS route, report crossing airway or waypoint. Inthe interest of reducing congestion on the IFBP frequency, pilots may exercise discretion toomit closely spaced repetitive IFBP reports;
d. at not less than 20 minute intervals;
e. before a change in flight level;
f. at any other time considered necessary by the pilot.
BROADCAST PROCEDUREA broadcast message should be structured as follows:
– ‘ALL STATIONS’
– ‘THIS IS AZ...(flight number) in the XXX (name FIR) FIR’
– ‘FL....'
– ‘North-eastbound on XXnnn (airway)’
– ‘Estimate XXXXX (or crossing airway if no waypoint) .....at ....UTC'
– ‘AZ ......’
– ‘FL....’
– ‘in the XXX FIR’

a. Changes of Cruising Level are considered necessary by pilots to avoid traffic conflicts, forweather avoidance, or for other valid operational reasons.
ENROUTE DATA - AFRICA 52AFRICA
IATA IN-FLIGHT BROADCAST PROCEDURE
b. When cruising level changes are unavoidable, all available aircraft lighting, which wouldimprove the visual detection of the aircraft, should be displayed while changing levels.
Collision Avoidance
If, on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediateaction is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk to his aircraft, and this cannot be achievedin accordance with the right-of-way provisions of Annex 2, he should:
a. unless an alternative manoeuvre appears more appropriate climb or descent 500ft;
b. display all available aircraft lighting which would improve the visual detection of the aircraft;
c. as soon as possible, reply to the broadcast advising action being taken;
d. notify the action taken on the appropriate ATS frequency, and
e. as soon as situation has been rectified, resume normal flight level, notifying the action on theappropriate ATS frequency.
Normal Position Reporting Procedures
Normal position reporting procedures should be continued at all times, regardless of any actiontaken to initiate or acknowledge a traffic information broadcast.
Operation of Transponders
Pilots shall ensure that transponder procedures as contained in ICAO PANS OPS Doc 8168 arecomplied with and in the absence of other directions from ATC, operate the transponder on ModeA and C Code 2000.
Pilots shall ensure operation of transponders even when outside radar coverage in order toenable TCAS equipped aircraft to identify conflicting traffic.
Use of TCAS
In accordance with ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030), ACAS II shall be car-ried and operated in the AFI Region by all civil fixed-wing turbine-engined aircraft having a maxi-mum take-off mass exceeding 5700kg or maximum approved passenger seating configuration ofmore than 19.
IATA therefore promotes the use of a working TCAS for aircraft when operating within the AFIRegion; and pilots shall select TA/RA mode at maximum range.
Use of SLOP
SLOP is promoted in AFI region.
THE IFBP IN AFIIn many FIRs in the AFI Region communications both fixed and mobile have either not beenimplemented or operate well below the required reliability. This has an impact on the proper provi-sion of Air Traffic Services, especially flight information service. Consequently, the AFI RegionalTechnical Conference has decided that the IATA In-Flight Broadcast Procedure (IFBP) should be
ENROUTE DATA - AFRICA 53AFRICA
IATA IN-FLIGHT BROADCAST PROCEDURE
used within designated FIRs in the Region as an interim measure until such time as communica-tions facilities affecting the FIRs in question have been improved.
DESIGNATED FREQUENCY IN AFIIn the AFI Region the designated frequency for the IFBP is 126.9 MHz.
AREA OF APPLICATIONIn the AFI Region the IFBP should be applied in the following FIRs and airspaces:
a. Asmara
b. Brazzaville
c. Kano
d. Khartoum
e. Kinshasa
f. Luanda
g. Niamey
h. N’Djamena
i. Tripoli
Even though some FIRs are removed from area of applicability, some FIRs will continue applyingIFBP in case of contingency (Dakar Terrestrial, Dakar Oceanic..).
NOTE: Brazzaville, Niamey and N’Djamena FIR provide Controller Pilot Data Link Communication(CPDLC) service, however these FIRs are maintained in IFBP area of applicability to accommo-date user requirements for linear boundaries to the extent feasible.
Tripoli FIR mandated IFBP within their entire FIR, hence IFBP region extended from North of lati-tude 30 degrees N to cover entire Tripoli FIR.
ENFORCEMENTAll airlines operating in the AFI region are requested to:
a. ensure that their air crews are fully briefed on the procedure and area of application descri-bed;
b. ensure that their charts and flight documentation are fully amended to reflect the foregoing.
Any operator reported to IATA as not applying the procedure shall be contacted immediately,informed of the procedure, and requested to apply it.
Attention is drawn to the fact that during the Haj Pilgrimage period the number of east-west flightsin the North-Central part of the AFI Region increases dramatically and with it the risk of ATS inci-dents and the importance of the In-Flight Broadcast Procedure.

AFI RVSM AIRSPACEReduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) is vertical separation of aircraft by 1000ft betweenFL290 and FL410. With effect from 0001 UTC, 25 SEP 2008, only RVSM approved aircraft andState aircraft will be cleared to operate in the following FIRs:
There is no transition airspace in entire AFI RVSM airspace.
AFI RVSM TRANSITION AIRSPACETransition tasks associated with the application of a 1000ft Vertical Separation Minimum (VSM)within the AFI RVSM Airspace shall be carried out in all, the adjacent FIRs/UIRs to the AFI RVSMairspace.
ATC units on the interface of AFI RVSM airspace shall:
– establish RVSM approved & non-RVSM approved State aircraft entering RVSM airspace at theappropriate RVSM FL;
– establish non-RVSM approved civil aircraft below FL290 if landing at an aerodrome below theRVSM airspace;
– establish non-RVSM approved civil aircraft above FL410 if transiting above the RVSM airspace& landing at an aerodrome outside AFI RVSM airspace;
– for aircraft leaving AFI RVSM airspace, apply 2000ft VSM and establish them at the appropri-ate non-RVSM levels.

FLIGHT OPERATIONS WITHIN THE AFI RVSM AIRSPACEExcept for State aircraft only RVSM approved aircraft shall be permitted to operate within the AFIRVSM airspace it should be noted that within the AFI RVSM airspace all cruising levels areequally assignable by ATC to all RVSM approved and State aircraft, provided that the applicablevertical separation minimum is applied.
ATC shall:
– only clear IFR RVSM approved aircraft & State aircraft into AFI RVSM airspace;
– provide a 1000ft VSM between RVSM approved aircraft;
– provide 2000ft VSM between all military formation flights and any other aircraft.
RVSM PROCEDURESOnly approved State aircraft shall be entitled to operate within the AFI RVSM Airspace, regard-less of the RVSM status of the aircraft.
All operators filing Repetitive Flight Plans (RPLs) shall include in item Q of the RPL all equipmentand capability information in conformity with item 10 of the ICAO flight plan.
Operators of RVSM approved aircraft shall indicate the approval status by inserting the letter “W”in item 10 of the ICAO Flight Plan, and in item Q of the Repetitive Flight Plan (RPL), regardless ofthe requested flight level.
Operators of non-RVSM approved State aircraft with a requested flight level of FL290 or aboveshall insert “STS/NONRVSM” in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan.
Operators of RVSM approved aircraft and non-RVSM approves State aircraft intending to operatewithin the AFI RVSM Airspace shall include the following in item 15 of the ICAO flight plan:
a. the entry point at the lateral limits of the AFI RVSM Airspace, and the requested flight levelfor that portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM entry point; and
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 221AFRICA
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
b. the exit point at the lateral limits of the AFI RVSM Airspace, and the requested flight level forthat portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM exit point.
STATE AIRCRAFT OPERATING WITHIN AFI RVSM AIRSPACEAll State aircraft operating in AFI RVSM Airspace will be considered as non-RVSM MASPS com-pliant and therefore non-RVSM approved. Therefore, the VSM required between State and othertraffic shall be 2000ft. State aircraft, i.e. military aircraft, might be exempted from AFI RVSMrequirements and where applicable, the indication that a non-RVSM approved aircraft is a Stateaircraft should be displayed.
IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCY PROCEDURESAn in-flight contingency affecting flight in the AFI RVSM Airspace pertains to unforeseen circum-stances, which directly impact on the ability of one or more aircraft to operate in accordance withthe vertical navigation performance requirements of the AFI RVSM Airspace.
– The pilot shall inform ATC as soon as possible of any circumstances where the vertical naviga-tion performance requirements for the AFI RVSM Airspace cannot be maintained;
– In above mentioned case, the pilot shall obtain a revised air traffic control clearance prior to ini-tiating any deviation from the cleared route and/or flight level, whenever possible. Where arevised ATC clearance could not be obtained prior to such a deviation, the pilot shall obtain arevised clearance as soon as possible thereafter;
– ATC actions will be based on the intentions of the pilot, the overall air traffic situation, and thereal-time dynamics;
– Suspension of RVSM refers to a discontinuance of the use of a vertical separation minimum of1000ft between RVSM approved aircraft operating within the AFI RVSM Airspace;
– A VSM of 2000ft shall be applied between all aircraft operating within the portion of the AFIRVSM Airspace where RVSM has been suspended, regardless of the RVSM approval status ofthe aircraft.
AIRSPACE USER REQUIREMENTSAccording to the ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures - Doc 7030/5, AFI Part 1, the follow-ing compliance requirements apply:
Except for State aircraft, Operators intending to conduct flights will require an RVSM Approvaleither from the State in which the Operator is based or from the State in which the aircraft is regis-tered. To obtain such an RVSM approval, Operators will need to satisfy the said State:
a. That aircraft for which the RVSM Approval is sought have the vertical navigation perform-ance capability required for RVSM operations through compliance with the criteria of theRVSM Minimum Aircraft Systems Performance Specifications (MASPS).
b. That they have instituted procedures in respect of continued airworthiness (maintenance andrepair) practices and programs; and
c. That they have instituted flight crew procedures for operations in the AFI RVSM airspace.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 222AFRICA
REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM)
NOTE: An RVSM approval is not restricted to a specific region . Instead, it is valid globally onthe understanding that any operating procedures specific to a given region, in this case theAFI region, should be stated in the operations manuals or appropriate crew guidance.
HEIGHT MONITORING
Requirement for participation in the RVSM height monitoring programThe requirement for monitoring systems from the initial RVSM feasibility studies and associatedguidance as developed by the ICAO Review of General Concept of Separation Panel (RGCSP),and is specified in ICAO Doc 9574, “Manual on implementation of a 300m (1000ft) Vertical Sepa-ration Minimum between FL290 and FL410 inclusive”.
MONITORING SYSTEMSThe AFI RVSM monitoring system consists of portable GPS Monitoring Units (GMUs), which col-lects the required data.
For aircraft operators, the primary contact for the AFI Monitoring Program will be the AFI RMA(ARMA). For the AFI RVSM program, the ARMA will support operators (and approval authorities)on any issue related to RVSM approval and monitoring. It is important for the ARMA to have anaccurate record of a point of contact for any queries that might arise from ongoing height monitor-ing. Operators are therefore requested to include a completed ARMA Point of Contact details withtheir first reply to the ARMA. Thereafter there is no further requirement unless there has been achange to the details requested on the form.
RVSM APPROVALMeeting the pre-requisites for monitoring, i.e. satisfying the appropriate RVSM airworthinessrequirements and institute procedures in respect of continued airworthiness (maintenance andrepair) practices and programs is not sufficient for RVSM approval.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
FLIGHT PLANNINGBecause of the difficulties of Search and Rescue operations within Kenya pilots are stronglyadvised to file a flight plan for every flight. At aerodromes which are not manned by the Director-ate of Civil Aviation the flight plan shall be filed with the Reporting Officer or with some otherresponsible person.
A pilot must file a flight plan:
a. If he intends to fly in controlled airspace either under IFR or at night;
b. If he intends to fly an aircraft operating as a public transport aircraft under VFR or IFR;
c. If he intends to make an international flight;
d. Nevertheless, irrespective of the Flight Rules under which an aircraft is to be flown, beforean aircraft takes off from any aerodrome which is manned by the Kenya Civil AviationAuthority the commander of the aircraft shall cause a flight plan to be submitted thereto inrespect of any flight which he intends to make outside the circuit of that aerodrome.
ALTIMETRYOwing to the scarcity of reporting stations, adequate QNH altimeter setting reports to enable thepilot to determine the lowest flight level which will ensure terrain clearance cannot be provided.Therefore, lowest safe flight levels to afford adequate terrain clearance are based on the climato-logical method. Such method will permit the application of lowest safe flight levels incorporating amargin of safety to cover variations in the actual atmosphere over Kenya. The level nominatedshall be that level which, in the standard atmosphere, lies 500ft above the minimum safe altitudefor the route. For example, if the highest terrain enroute is 10000ft, the minimum safe altitude is11000ft and the permanent lowest safe flight level is FL115. If this level is inappropriate the nexthigher level applies.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION BROADCAST BY AIRCRAFT (TIBA)The following procedures are implemented for aircraft operating outside of controlled airspace.
a. All aircraft operating at or below 1500ft AGL outside the lateral limits of promulgated GeneralFlying Areas should maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on fre-quency 124.8MHz. Aircraft operating within 5NM of an aerodrome where an ATS unit is notin operation and where no specific frequency has been allocated should make regular posi-tion reports relative to the aerodrome on frequency 124.8MHz (excluding those aerodromessituated within promulgated General Flying Areas).
1. Where a specific frequency has been allocated for such an aerodrome the positionreports relative to the aerodrome should be made on the appropriate frequency within5NM of the aerodrome.
2. Enroute position reports should be made at regular intervals containing informationuseful for collision avoidance, e.g. identification, route, position/time, level/altitude, nextposition and estimate. These position reports should be made with reference to promi-nent landmarks and/or navigational facilities.
b. Aircraft operating above 1500ft AGL outside of promulgated General Flying Areas shouldmaintain a listening watch and should make regular position reports on the appropriate FISfrequency allocated to the area. In the event that no contact can be established with theappropriate FIS unit due to location or range a listening watch should be maintained and reg-ular position reports/broadcasts should be made on the FIS frequency allocated for the area.
c. To avoid the TIBA frequencies from being used for purposes other than essential traffic infor-mation broadcast, the general air-to-air aviation frequency 130.35MHz is available to pilots todiscuss general matters.
Messages should be kept short and a listening watch should be maintained on the appropri-ate TIBA frequency.
d. Aircraft operating within promulgated General Flying Areas or operating at unmanned aero-dromes situated within such areas should operate on the allocated frequency 124.4MHz.
e. Aerodromes without ATS units to which specific TIBA frequencies have been assigned areas follows:

PROCEDURE LIMITATIONS AND OPTIONSInstrument approach procedures comply with the PANS-OPS, Document 8168.
Minimum sector altitude is calculated with an obstacle clearance margin of 300m, however thismargin can be increased by 0 to 300m when surface inequalities are considerable.
Minimum altitude on a specified arrival route is calculated:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 328REUNION
RULES AND PROCEDURES
a. If the instrument approach procedure is outside of controlled airspace, the minimum altitudeis determined from the last enroute fix/facility which is less than 25NM from the initialapproach fix. Otherwise, the minimum altitude is determined from a point 25NM from the ini-tial approach fix on the arrival route.
b. If the instrument approach procedure is in controlled airspace, the minimum altitude is deter-mined from the limit of that airspace, or from the nearest possible fix to this limit.
Dimensions of the area designed for a circling:
For a circling approach with a visual manoeuvring without circling, the pilot should be in the cir-cling area before the radio beacon approach path. The dimensions of the area associated with acircling (listed below) must therefore be noted, they vary with the aircraft category. The area iscalculated by plotting an arc of a circle of radius R, from the threshold of every utilizable runway,the following table show for example the R (NM) values for an aerodrome at the sea level:
Cat A 2.2NM
Cat B 3.1NM
Cat C 4.5NM
Cat D 5.5NM
Cat E 7.1NM
Reference Datum for QFE Altimeter Setting
The threshold of the runway is used as the QFE reference datum for precision and non-precisionapproaches when the threshold elevation is more than 5 meters (16 feet) below the aerodromeelevation, otherwise the aerodrome elevation shall be used.
AIRPORT OPERATING MINIMUMS
General
Reunion State minima are in accordance with EU-OPS, Appendix 1 (new) to Ops 1.430. (SeeATC pages EU-OPS 1 AERODROME OPERATING MINIMUMS (AOM)).
Jeppesen published minima on approach charts with label Standard or on 10-9S pages are notbelow State minima.
Using MDA(H) as a DA(H) - CDFA flight technique
The operational minima published on Reunion non-precision approach charts have been deter-mined based on the assumption that these approaches are flown using the CDFA flight techniqueunless otherwise stated by the Authority for a particular approach to a particular runway.
The CDFA flight technique implies a continuous descent on final approach, without level-off at orabove the MDA(H).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 329REUNION
RULES AND PROCEDURES
To avoid descending below the MDA(H) in case of a Missed Approach, French State Authorityrecommends to add following mean vertical margins to the published MDA(H) to use it as aDA(H):
Aircraft Category Margin/Add-On
A 20ft
B 30ft
C 40ft
D 60ft
These margins, however, are not considered necessary by French State Authority, if it is ensuredthat all three criteria below are fulfilled:
– The visual segment surface (VSS) is not penetrated by an obstacle;
– Protection of the initial Missed Approach complies with ICAO recommended rules;
– The MAP is located at or after the runway threshold.
Under these conditions, it is assumed that the obstacles will be cleared with sufficient margin ifthe go-around procedure is initiated at an altitude corresponding to the MDA, provided that thedescent slope is strictly monitored and that the go-around maneuver complies with the normal useof the aeroplane.
NOTE: The fulfillment of these criteria can be derived from the State Source and will be consid-ered on Jeppesen charts accordingly.
Jeppesen Charts
Based on the information above, Jeppesen Non-Precision approach charts will show the followingif CDFA criteria fulfilled:
a. DA/MDA(H) label
This label indicates that the associated minima (RVR/CMV) are to be used in conjunctionwith the CDFA flight technique and, in case a Missed Approach must be initiated, an immedi-ate climb out without level-off shall be performed. The lateral part of the missed approachprocedure must be flown via the MAP, unless otherwise stated on the approach chart. Thepublished DA/MDA(H) values will not include an add-on to account for a height loss belowthe MDA(H).
b. CDFA label
Additional indication that the associated minima can only be used when the CDFA techniqueis applied.
c. If one or more of the three criteria previously mentioned are not fulfilled, an additional notewill be published on the chart, referencing the recommendation to apply the add-on marginsto the published DA/MDA(H) value, to use the MDA(H) as a DA(H).
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 330REUNION
RULES AND PROCEDURES
The note will read: “For add-on to the MDA(H), see ATC pages REUNION”
Should the CDFA technique not be possible for a particular approach, the descent limit will belabeled MDA(H) and the Minima Box will show the label non-CDFA, to indicate that the chartedminima have been increased following EU-OPS regulation (by 200m for Cat A/B aeroplanes andby 400m for Cat C/D aeroplanes, providing that the resulting RVR/CMV value does not exceed5000m).
Approach Ban
For approach ban information see AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, EU-OPS 1 AERODROME OPER-ATING MINIMUMS.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
SELF-INFORMATION SERVICEThe following procedures are valid at aerodromes without an established ATS (or AFIS) unit orwhen an established ATS/AFIS unit is not operating.
When flying in accordance with VFR and intending to use an aerodrome at which radiotelephonycontact is mandatory, every pilot must transmit on the published frequency a position reportduring each individual phase of his flight for the information of other aerodrome users.
If no ATS or AFIS frequencies are published the Self-Information frequency assigned to the aero-drome is to be used. If no particular Self-Information frequency (Air/Air) is assigned to the aero-drome, the transmissions are to be made on Air/Air frequency 123.50MHz.
The pilot-in-command must transmit position reports and give his intentions when:
a. Arriving:
– before joining the circuit;
– on downwind leg;
– on base leg;
– on final;
– when the runway is clear;
– on the apron.
b. Departing:
– on the apron before starting to move;

ATS AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATIONSSeychelles have adopted the ICAO ATS airspace classification as listed on in ATC-Chapter“ICAO ATS Airspace Classifications - Annex 11”.
Within Seychelles FIR, however, only the airspace classes “A”, ”D”, “E” and “G” are used.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
SELECTION OF FLIGHT LEVELIt is generally recommended not to select levels above FL240 for flights up to a distance of300NM.
Traffic from the Seychelles TMA with a destination in the Seychelles TMA should file Max FL290.
COMMUNICATIONAll flights intending to operate within Seychelles FIR shall contact Seychelles ACC on HF at least20 minutes prior to entering FIR and maintain two-way radio communication and report positionsas instructed.
ADS/CPDLC OPERATIONS IN SEYCHELLES FIR
CPDLC Application
When a FANS 1/A equipped aircraft is operating within Seychelles FIR:
– CPDLC will be the primary means of communications;
– Position reports will be assisted by means of ADS as stated below;
– Voice will be used as backup communications medium;
– SELCAL check will be carried out on the appropriate HF frequency and will be used as backup.
The provision of Pre Departure Clearance (PDC) via CPDLC to departing aircraft is not availableas part of the Seychelles ATM program.
Standard preformatted messages are to be used in CPDLC communications, specifically for pilotclearance requests and ATC instructions. The use of Free Text elements should be kept to a min-imum.
Controller/Pilot dialogues opened by CPDLC must be closed by CPDLC.
To avoid ambiguity in CPDLC exchanges, pilots are required not to use message containing morethan one clearance request. If any ambiguity exists as to the intent of a particular message, clarifi-cation must be sought by voice.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 340SEYCHELLES
RULES AND PROCEDURES
ADS Application
ADS Contracts will be established upon successful Logon. The default rate of Periodic Contract isset to two (02) minutes; and the default rate of Event Contract is set to "WAY POINT" in the Sey-chelles FIR. The Demand Contract shall not be applied in Seychelles FIR.
Following initial CPDLC position report on first contact, ADS reporting will fulfill normal positionreporting requirements within the Seychelles FIR. Neither CPDLC nor voice position reports willbe required while ADS is operational.
Under normal circumstances, ADS Contracts and connection shall be terminated by SeychellesACC after the aircraft has left the FIR.
Procedures for Logon with Seychelles ACC
ATS addresses:
– Seychelles ICAO location indicator: FSSS
– Seychelles ACC call sign: Seychelles Control
– Seychelles ACARS address: SEZCAYA
Initial Logon (Pilot Initiated)
For aircraft proceeding inbound to Seychelles FIR from a non-CPDLC capable FIR or departingfrom airports within Seychelles, ATC will accept first Logon between 15 minutes and 45 minutesprior to entering FIR FSSS.
Nevertheless Seychelles ATC requests initial Logon at least 20 minutes prior to Estimate FIRBoundary or prior to departure.
Outbound traffic
Aircraft leaving Seychelles FIR will receive the AT [POSITION) MONITOR (OR CONTACT)[ATSU NAME] [FREQUENCY] and END SERVICE messages not less than 5 minutes prior tocrossing the Seychelles FIR boundary.
This is to ensure synchronization of the CPDLC and voice communication transfers. ATC expectsto receive from pilot the closure response "WILCO" to this message. Pilots shall verify the datalink status of FANS 1/A connection at crossing Seychelles FIR boundary and terminate theCPDLC connection in case it stays active.
Inbound traffic
The CPDLC and ADS will be transferred automatically to Seychelles ACC by the ATSU responsi-ble for the adjacent FIR, in case the latter unit uses such applications. The CPDLC connection willbe transferred five (05) minutes prior to crossing the Seychelles FIR boundary.
Pilots shall verify the system connection conditions when entering the Seychelles FIR. If FSSS isnot an active connection, that is to say the transfer has not happened automatically; the pilot shallterminate the existent CPDLC connection and execute the manual procedure to establish a newconnection by using the FSSS address.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 341SEYCHELLES
RULES AND PROCEDURES
When the pilot recognizes a failure of the data link connection, the pilot shall terminate the con-nection by selecting "ATC Com Off' and then initiate a new AFN LOGON (FN_CON) with theSeychelles ACC (FSSS).
To avoid an automatic rejection of the LOGON, the pilot shall ensure that the flight identificationand registration numbers contained in the FN_CON message are exactly the same as the flightidentification and registration numbers filed in the flight plan.
General procedures
Seychelles requires not using element "CRUISE [altitude]" in CPDLC messages.
Seychelles requires an initial CPDLC [position report] at FIR Boundary entry point then ADSreporting only.
Even reporting by ADS within Seychelles FIR, pilots may be required to provide update estimatesfor waypoints through voice communication, upon request from ATC.
If required, a pilot may advise a revised estimate by down linking a CPDLC [position report] con-taining the revised estimate or the Free Text message "REVISED ETA [position] [time]"
When CPDLC is being used as the primary means of communications and ATC requests a voicecontact, the uplink message element “CONTACT [unitname) [frequency)" shall be sent;e.g. :"CONTACT FSIA APP 119.7"
This procedure will be systematically applied to flights landing at FSIA during transfer to Sey-chelles Approach. Pilot/Controller communications will continue on voice until the aircraft haslanded while ADS/CPDLC connections remain active.
Pilots will be instructed on voice to transfer to CPDLC by using the phraseology : "TRANSFERTO SEYCHELLES CONTROL ON DATA LINK. MONITOR [frequency)". This procedure will beapplied for flights leaving VHF coverage.
For aircraft inbound to destinations within Seychelles FIR, ADS/CPDLC connections will be main-tained until the aircraft has landed. Nevertheless pilots may be instructed to transfer to VHF voiceprior to landing.
For aircraft departing from airports within Seychelles FIR, the ADS/CPDLC connections shall beestablished by ground system upon successful Logon.
FLIGHT PLANNINGA flight plan shall be submitted prior to operating:
a. any flight or portion thereof to be provided with air traffic control Service;
b. any flight operated into or from the Seychelles group of Islands within Seychelles FIR, tofacilitate the provision of flight information, alerting and search and rescue services;
c. any flight across international borders;
Except for repetitive flight plans, a flight plan shall be submitted at least 30 minutes prior to depar-ture, taking into account the requirements for timely exchange of information between ATS unitsin the airspace along the route to be flown.

RANDOM ROUTING RNAV AREAS
General for participation in the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans (UPR and AORRA)
South Africa has the delegated responsibility of providing service over the high seas in thoseareas of airspace which have been identified as part of and included within the South AfricanOceanic FIR. These areas have variously been identified as the Atlantic Ocean Random RoutingArea (AORRA) and the User Preferred Routes (UPR). Operating within these areas facilitate free-dom to flight plan and operate along random tracks according to operational requirements,thereby contributing to operational and economic efficiency and at the same time advancing thequest to reduce carbon emissions. Only those aircraft certified for RNAV10 operations would bepermitted to operate within the UPR and AORRA. Authorised operators indicate compliance byentering "X" in field 10 of the ATS Flight Plan. This requirement shall ensure the level of naviga-tion accuracy required for RNAV operations.
Atlantic Ocean Random Routing RNAV Area (AORRA)
South Africa has implemented the Atlantic Ocean Random Routing RNAV Area (AORRA) corre-sponding to oceanic sectors of Angola, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and Uruguay betweenFL290 and FL410.
Prior to entering or after exiting the AORRA from/to Angolan Oceanic airspace, operators are toflight plan so as to cross the Angolan Oceanic FIR boundary at the significant point established onthe FIR boundary and which is associated with the fixed route on which they intended operatingwhile in that airspace.
ADS/CPDLC in UPR and AORRA
ADS/CPDLC will be utilized in AORRA airspace by suitably equipped service providers to providean ATS service to aircraft able to take advantage of this form of communication. Operators are tonote that in some sectors of the random routing airspace, ADS/CPDLC is the primary form ofcommunication, with HF as secondary means of communication.
No aircraft shall flight plan to operate in the AORRA airspace unless it is RNP10 certified to oper-ate in this airspace by the State of Registry or the State of operator, as the case may be, exceptin the following circumstances:
– The aircraft is being initially delivered to the State of Registry or State of the operator;
– The aircraft is certified but experienced navigation degradation and is being flown back to baseor to a maintenance facility for repairs;
– The aircraft is engaged on a humanitarian or mercy flight;
– State aircraft.
When it is intended to operate an aircraft in AORRA airspace, RNP10 compliance shall be indica-ted by placing an “R” in box 10 of the flight plan form. Flight plans shall contain entry and exitpoint to AORRA and estimated time for every 5Deg of longitude.
In the case of repetitive flight plans RNP10 compliance shall be indicated by placing an “R” in boxQ of the RPL, regardless of the required level, as follows: EQPT/R.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 357SOUTH AFRICAN REP.
RULES AND PROCEDURES
Operators not RNP10 certified, shall insert STS/NON RNP10, in field 18 of the ICAO FPL.
LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURESLateral offset procedure will be in force in Johannesburg Oceanic FIR on fixed routes.
a. There are three positions that an aircraft may fly: centerline, 1NM or 2NM right;
b. Offsets are not to exceed 2NM right of route centerline;
c. Aircraft operating on the fixed route structure over the Atlantic Ocean inbound or outboundto/from either Namibian or South African continental airspace, are to ensure a return to cen-terline immediately after passing the following significant points:
UBVER (S2755.4 E01417.7)
ILDIR (S1800.0 E01000.0)
OKDOG (S3305.0 E01500.0)
ITMEK (S3412.0 E01500.0)
ITLIK (S3516.0 E01500.0)
d. There is no ATC clearance required for this procedure and it is not necessary that ATC isadvised;
e. Position reports are to be based on the current ATC route clearance and not the exact coor-dinates of the offset position.

Special Procedures for Crossing Traffic (East/West Operations)
Crossing traffic can flight plan to enter and leave the RVSM airspace at any point along its boun-daries, indicating in the flight plan the coordinates and estimated time of the entering and exitpoints into the RVSM airspace and of the crossing of each of the fixed ATS routes.
Except when flying on published crossing routes/tracks, all crossing traffic intending to operatethrough the RVSM airspace must obtain an ATC Clearance. This should be requested, sufficientlyin advance to preclude operational difficulties, from the ACC responsible for the first RVSM air-space to be entered, or, in case of communications difficulties, from any of the ACCs concernedwith the EUR/SAM RVSM airspace or still from any other adjacent ACC.
Mandatory Pilot Reports
In addition to reading back altitude assignments, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assignedwithin RVSM airspace. This serves as a double check between pilots and controllers and reduces
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 380WEST AFRICA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
the possibility of operational errors. This requirement for altitude readback and reports of reachingassigned altitudes applies to both RVSM and CVSM altitudes (i.e., flight levels 330, 340, 350,360, and 370).
In-Flight Procedures within RVSM Airspace
Before entering the RVSM airspace the pilot should review the status of the required equipment.
The pilot must notify ATC whenever:
– the aircraft is no longer RVSM compliant;
– the pilot experiences loss of redundancy of altimetry system;
– the pilot encounters turbulences that affects the capability to maintain flight level.
ADS/CPDLC OPERATIONS IN DAKAR OCEANIC FIR
Login Procedures
Addresses:
– Dakar location indicator: GOOO
– Dakar ACC callsign: Dakar Control
– ACARS Dakar address: DKRCAYA
Aircraft coming from airspace not provided with ADS-C/CPDLC:
– the initial logon (FN_CON) should be performed by the pilot using the ICAO code of Dakar FIR(GOOO);
– the pilot should perform the initial logon at least 15 minutes prior to the Dakar Oceanic boun-dary estimate and should not establish it more than 45 minutes in advance.
Aircraft coming from airspace provided with ADS-C/CPDLC:
– the CPDLC and the ADS-C will be transferred automatically to Dakar ACC by the ACC respon-sible for the adjacent FIR, just in case the latter unit also uses such applications;
– the CPDLC connection will be transferred 5 minutes prior crossing the limit point of Dakar Oce-anic FIR.
Aircraft leaving Dakar Oceanic FIR will receive the AT [POSITION] MONITOR (OR CONTACT)[icaounitname] [primary frequency] and END SERVICE messages, but not less than 5 minutesprior crossing Dakar Oceanic FIR limits. Performing thus the transfer of communications and ini-tiating the CPDLC connection termination with GOOO will be over. Pilots shall verify the data linkstatus of FANS 1/A connection at crossing Dakar FIR limits and terminate the CPDLC connectionin case it stays activated.
Pilots shall verify the system connection condition when crossing Dakar Oceanic FIR limits. IfGOOO is not an active connection, that is to say the transfer has not happened automatically thepilot shall terminate the existent CPDLC connection and execute the manual procedures to estab-lish a new connection by using the GOOO address.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 381WEST AFRICA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
When the pilot recognizes a failure of the data link connection, the pilot shall terminate the con-nection by selecting “ATC Com Off” and then initiate a new AFN LOGON (FN_CON) with theDakar ATS system (GOOO).
To avoid an automatic rejection of the LOGON, the pilot shall ensure that the flight identificationand registration numbers contained in the FN_CON message are exactly the same as the flightidentification and registration numbers filed in the flight plan.
Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC)
In case that the CPDLC is not available or exceptionally required by the Dakar ACC, communica-tions with that unit shall be accomplished on HF frequency informed by the ATS unit responsibleby adjacent FIR or established by means of ”MONITOR” or “CONTACT” message.
At crossing the Dakar Oceanic FIR limit, the pilot will receive the message [EXPECT SELCALCHECK HF] [frequency], with the objective of making SELCAL test with the aircraft.
When a “MONITOR” uplink message is received, the pilot shall change to the nominated fre-quency at the appropriate time. A check call is not required on that frequency.
When a “CONTACT” message is received, the pilot shall change to the nominated frequency atthe appropriate time and perform an acknowledgement call on that frequency. The sending orreceipt of a “Contact” uplink message is not an indication to the pilot that CPDLC use must beterminated or suspended once voice contact is established. If termination or suspension ofCPDLC use is intended by the ATS when voice contact is established then an additional instruc-tion shall be specifically issued besides the “CONTACT” message.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C)
The position messages of ADS equipped aircraft connected to Dakar ACC will be accomplishedby means of ADS-C. However, the pilot must send a CPDLC position report at the FIR entry posi-tion to confirm that Dakar ACC holds the status of Current Data Authority. Following the initialCPDLC report at the boundary, no further CPDLC or voice position reports will be required foroperations within Dakar Oceanic FIR.
The position messages shall be transmitted on the HF frequency established, in case that theADS-C and the CPDLC are not available, or when required by Dakar ACC.
The following ADS-C contracts will be established:
a. periodic contract with reporting frequency every 15 minutes;
b. event contract which is established when one of the following events is detected by the ADSFunction of the aircraft:
– at significant waypoints;
– 5NM lateral deviation; and
– 200ft altitude deviation.
c. demand contract, whenever there is operational need.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 382WEST AFRICA
RULES AND PROCEDURES
The updating rate of the periodical contract can be modified, without previous notification, in caseof operational need.
It will not be demanded from the pilots to update the estimates for the waypoints when the aircraftis reporting on ADS-C. Exceptions to that rule are those updating that are required when:
a. an estimate, previously informed orally or by CPDLC, is changed for more than 2 minutes; or
b. a step commenced by the pilot, such as a speed change, will change the estimate at thenext report point for more than 2 minutes.
Flight Plan
The aircraft registration shall be inserted in the item 18 of the Flight Plan, preceded by the “REG”indicator.
The aircraft SELCAL code shall be inserted in the item 18 of the Flight Plan, preceded by the“SEL” indicator.

When CPDLC has been authorized for use by the relevant ATC authority, this willbecome the primary means of communication with HF as secondary. In the case of ADS auto-matic position reporting, this replaces voice position reporting and CPDLC or HF will become thesecondary means.

CONTINGENCY PLANS
Aircraft Separation
The longitudinal separation will be 15 minutes. However, this may be reduced to 10 minutes inconjunction with application of the Mach number technique in light of developments and asauthorized by the DGCA by the appropriate OCA.
The route structure provides for lateral separation of 100NM and in cases where this is less, andfor crossing routes, a standard minimum vertical separation will be applied.
Aircraft position reporting
Pilots will continue to make routine position reports in line with normal ATC reporting procedures.
PILOTS AND OPERATOR PROCEDURESAircraft overflying Khartoum FIR shall follow the following procedures:
a. All aircraft proceeding along the ATS routes established in this Contingency Plan will complywith the instrument flight rules (IFR) and will be assigned a flight level in accordance with theflight level allocation scheme applicable to the route(s) being flown as specified in “ATS Con-tingency Routes” above;
b. Flights are to file a flight plan using the Contingency Routes specified in “ATS ContingencyRoutes” above, according to their airport of origin and destination;
c. Pilots are to keep a continuous watch on the specified contingency frequency and transmit inEnglish position information and estimates in line with normal ATC position reporting proce-dures;
d. Pilots are to maintain during their entire flight time within Khartoum FIR, the flight level lastassigned by the last ACC responsible prior to the aircraft entering Khartoum FIR, and underno circumstances change this level and Mach number, except in cases of emergency and forflight safety reasons. In addition, the last SSR transponder assigned shall be maintained 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 minutesbefore entering Khartoum FIR or as otherwise instructed by the ATC unit in accordance withthe OCA with Sudan;
f. Pilots are to include in their last position report prior to entering Khartoum FIR, the estimatedtime over the entry point of Khartoum FIR and the estimated time of arrival over the relevantexit point of Khartoum FIR;
g. Pilots are to contact the next adjacent ACC as soon as possible, and at the latest, ten (10)minutes before the estimated time of arrival over the entry point;
h. Whenever emergencies and/or flight safety reasons make it impossible to maintain the flightlevel assigned for transit of Khartoum FIR, pilots are to climb or descend well to the right ofthe centerline of the contingency route, and if deviating outside the Khartoum FIR, to informimmediately the ACC responsible for that airspace. Pilots are to make blind broadcast on121.5 MHz of the relevant emergency level change message (comprising the aircraft callsign, the aircraft position, the flight levels being vacated and crossed, etc).

ARRIVAL PROCEDURE
Addis Abeba
In the radio communication failure procedures the expression 'EAT' will mean either an EAT givenby the appropriate ATC unit or the ETA over the holding point, if the pilot has been told “No delayexpected”.
If “Delay not determined” has been received and communication failure occurs before an EAT isgiven, pilots shall not attempt to land, but should fly to another aerodrome in accordance with thefollowing procedures.
a. Arrivals from North, Northwest or West:
1. Above FL330 - continue to VORDME ‘ADS’ maintaining last assigned flight level androute. Establish 'ADS' R-188 and at 'ADS' 25 DME start descent to FL330. Upon reach-ing FL330, proceed on track 061° to Dire Dawa airport. At position N0851.0 E04025.5('DWA' 97 DME), start descent to FL150 and land visually.
2. Below FL330 - continue to VORDME ‘ADS’ maintaining last assigned flight level androute. Establish 'ADS' R-188 and at 'ADS' 25 DME climb to FL330 and proceed to 'ADS'65 DME and turn left heading 061° to Dire Dawa airport. If unable to reach FL330 at'ADS' 65 DME, make a circling climb to the right between R-188 and R-198, limitingDME 65-75. Upon reaching FL330, proceed on track 061° to Dire Dawa airport. At posi-tion N0851.0 E04025.5 ('DWA' 97 DME), start descent to FL150 and land visually.
3. At FL330 - continue to VORDME 'ADS’. Thereafter, establish 'ADS' R-188 and at 'ADS'25 DME turn left and track 061° to Dire Dawa airport. At position N0851.0 E04025.5('DWA' 97 DME), start descent to FL150 and land visually.
b. Arrivals from South, Southeast or East:
1. Above FL330 - follow procedure in a.1) above.
2. Below FL330 - continue to VORDME ‘ADS’ maintaining last assigned flight level androute. Enter the holding. Thereafter, establish R-188 and follow procedure in a.2)above.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
BASIC PROCEDURE
a. Continue the flight in accordance with the current flight plan to the holding point at the aero-drome of first intended landing. Maintain the last acknowledged cruising levels for the portionof the route for which levels have been assigned, and thereafter maintain the cruising levelsshown in the flight plan.
b. Arrange the flight so as to arrive over the holding point at, or as close as possible to the esti-mated time of arrival as indicated in the filed plan and revised in accordance with the currentflight plan. Pilots must follow the appropriate inbound route for the Control Zone or ControlArea concerned.
c. After arrival over the holding point, commence descent at, or as close as possible to theexpected approach time last received and acknowledged, or, if no expected approach timehas been received and acknowledged, at or as close as possible to the estimated time ofarrival specified for the appropriate navigational aid. If Delay not determined has been givenand no EAT, do not attempt to land at the destination aerodrome but fly to another aero-drome following the Leaving Procedure outlined below.
d. Land within 30 minutes of the time descent should have been started (i.e. the EAT or ETAreferred to in c) above). If unable to land within this time, but able to complete on approachand landing visually, do so. If not able to land within the specified time, nor to approach andland visually, leave the vicinity of the aerodrome and any associated controlled airspace atthe specified altitude and on the specified route as outlined under Leaving Procedures. If noaltitude or route is specified, fly at the last assigned altitude or minimum sector altitude,whichever is the higher, and avoid areas of dense traffic. Then, either
– fly to an area in which flight may be continued in VMC and land at a suitable aerodromethere, or (if this is not possible)
– select a suitable area in which to descend through cloud, fly visually to a suitable aero-drome and land as soon as practicable.
In either case, inform the ATC Service as soon as possible after landing.
ARRIVAL PROCEDURE

Aircraft inbound to Nairobi under IFR will be cleared by the Area Control Centre into the TerminalArea at cruising levels, and will be given descent instructions when in radio contact with NairobiApproach Control. Aircraft experiencing loss of radio contact with Air Traffic Control prior toreceiving descent instructions, will comply with the following procedures:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 586KENYA
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES
– Aircraft approaching from the west of a line drawn north and south through Nairobi Airport willfly to the NDB ‘GG’;
– Aircraft approaching from the east of a line drawn north and south through Nairobi Airport willfly to the NDB ‘TH’.
LEAVING PROCEDUREIn the event of a missed approach:
– land at the aerodrome of destination if this can be achieved within 30 minutes of the timedescent from the holding point should have started, or (if this is impossible)
– leave controlled airspace at once in accordance with the following procedures:
• In the Malindi and Mombasa Control Zones: Leave the control zone on the prescribedmissed approach track for the procedure used, and proceed to the nominated alternativedestination selecting levels as follows depending on the direction of flight:
– Low Performance Aircraft FL30, FL40;
– Medium Performance Aircraft FL70, FL80;
– High Performance Aircraft FL200, FL210.
• In the Nairobi Control Zone and Nairobi Terminal Control Area:
– If the diversion aerodrome is Entebbe, climb on the runway heading 056° to FL100 orabove, then turn left to intercept R-288 of VORDME ‘NV’ at FL100 (low performance; air-craft must route via Narok NDB ‘NK’), FL160 (medium performance), FL310 (high perform-ance).
– If the diversion aerodrome is Mombasa, turn right, climb to 8500ft to NDB ‘TH’ after pass-ing NDB ‘TH’ turn left and intercept magnetic track 138° from VORDME ‘NV’ maintaining8500 feet for 7 minutes from NDB ‘TH’ or Nairobi 35 DME fix, then climb to FL90 (low per-formance), FL170 (medium performance), FL250 (high performance) as appropriate.
RADIO NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT FAILUREIf part of an aircraft’s radio navigation equipment fails but two-way communication can be still bemaintained with the ATC service, the pilot must inform the ATC service of the failure and reporthis altitude and approximated position. The ATC unit may, at its discretion authorize the pilot tocontinue his flight in or into controlled airspace.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE TO BE ADOPTED IF OPERATING UNDER A “RLCE” ORRADAR TYPE CLEARANCEThe additional radio failure procedures described below will be adopted for use in the case ofradio failure while operating under a “RLCE” type clearance where the pilot has informed ATCthat the assigned cruising level is unacceptable or, under a radar type clearance, when no instruc-tions by the radar controller to climb to the assigned cruising level have been received before thefailure occurred, or exceptionally where a radar and “RLCE” clearance are combined, e.g. climbunder radar control to FL150, request level change enroute to FL190.
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 587KENYA
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES
In the event of radio failure the pilot should:
a. After passing the compulsory reporting point at which he first failed to contact ATC turn 60°left or right and leave controlled airspace or advisory route, maintaining the last cleared level.(The last cleared level is that given in the departure basic procedural clearance or, as maybe amended subsequently enroute, e.g. “GG 110 climb under radar control to FL150”, 110 isthe last cleared level).
b. If the radio failure occurs inside a control zone or terminal control area, he should proceed ascleared to the reporting point nearest to the boundary of the control zone or terminal controlarea before leaving controlled airspace as described above.
c. When clear of controlled airspace or advisory route, climb to either:
– the cruising level requested in the filed flight plan if operating on a “RLCE” clearance, or
– the accepted cruising level given with a radar clearance (which may not necessarily be thelevel requested in the original filed flight plan), on a heading that will keep the aircraft clearof controlled airspace and/or advisory route for a minimum period of five minutes and isalso compatible with rejoining the intended airway or advisory route when cruising level isreached.
d. When at cruising level, return to controlled airspace and proceed in accordance with normalradio failure procedure.
If, by day, the climb can be made in VMC there is, of course, no need for the pilot to leavecontrolled airspace or an advisory route, but he should still make 60° turns as this will serveto identify the aircraft with the radio failure to the radar controller when radar surveillance isbeing carried out. Should it be necessary to cross an airway during the climb, the airwayshould be crossed at right angles at an intermediate 500ft level.

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
GENERALWhen an aircraft fails to establish contact with the aeronautical station on the designated fre-quency, it shall attempt to establish contact on another frequency appropriate to the route. If thisattempt fails, the aircraft shall attempt to establish communication with another aircraft or otheraeronautical stations on frequencies appropriate to the route. In addition, an aircraft shall monitorthe appropriate VHF frequency for calls from nearby aircraft or aeronautical stations.
If these attempts fail, the aircraft station shall continue to transmit position reports and its inten-tions as appropriate on the designated frequencies, preceded by the phrase "Transmitting blind".Such messages shall be transmitted twice and, if necessary, include the addressee(s) for whichthe message is intended.
If no communication is received or other indication that one. way communications are possible.the aircraft shall set its transponder to Code 7600 and proceed with the lost communications pro-cedures.
In any case, whereby an aircraft having suffered a communication failure in flight arrives at anaerodrome, it shall keep watch for such instructions as may be issued by visual signals for theaerodrome control tower or other facility.
VFR PROCEDURESIf the communications failure occurs while operating in accordance with VFR, the aircraft shallcontinue to fly in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) and land at the nearest suitable aero-drome using
a. the Standard Radio Communication Procedures - VFR Arrivals shown below; or
b. if other procedures have been published for a specific aerodrome, in accordance with suchprocedures.
The operator shall report its arrival by the most expeditious means to the appropriate air trafficservices unit (ATSU).

COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
BASIC PROCEDURE
a. Continue the flight in accordance with the current flight plan to the holding point at the aero-drome of first intended landing. Maintain the last acknowledged cruising level(s) shown in theflight plan.
b. Arrange the flight so as to arrive over the holding point at, or as close as possible to the esti-mated time of arrival last acknowledged by ATC. If no ETA has been acknowledged, arrangethe flight so as to arrive over the holding point at, or as close as possible to the ETA as indi-cated in the filed flight plan and revised in accordance with the current flight plan. Pilots mustfollow the appropriate inbound route for the Control Zone or Control Area concerned.
c. After arrival over the holding point, commence descent at, or as close as possible to, theexpected approach time last received and acknowledged at, or as close as possible to, theexpected approach time as indicated in the filed flight plan and revised in accordance withthe current flight plan.
d. Complete a normal instrument approach procedure as specified for the appropriate naviga-tional aid. If delay not determined has been given and no EAT, do not attempt to land at thedestination aerodrome but fly to another aerodrome following the Leaving Procedures out-lined below.
e. Land within 30 minutes of the time descent should have been started (i.e. the EAT or ETAreferred to in c) above). If unable to land within this time, but able to complete an approachand landing visually, do so. If unable to land within the specified time, nor to approach andland visually, leave the vicinity of the aerodrome and any associated controlled airspace atthe altitude and on the route specified on the instrument approach chart and as outlinedunder Leaving Procedures below. If no altitude or route is specified, fly at the last assignedaltitude or minimum sector altitude, whichever is the higher, and avoid areas of dense traffic.Then, either
– fly to an area in which flight may be continued in VMC and land at a suitable aerodromethere, or (if this is not possible)
– select a suitable area in which to descend through cloud, fly visually to a suitable aero-drome and land as soon as practicable.
In either case, inform the ATC Service as soon as possible after landing.
LEAVING PROCEDUREIn the event of a missed approach:
STATE RULES AND PROCEDURES - AFRICA 608UGANDA
ICAO DIFFERENCES OR STATE SPECIAL PROCEDURES
– land at the aerodrome of destination if this can be achieved within 30 minutes of the timedescent from the holding point was commenced, or (if this is not possible)
– leave controlled airspace at once on the prescribed missed approach track for the procedureused as specified on the instrument approach chart, and proceed to the nominated alternate,climbing to and maintaining an appropriate flight level selected as follows:
• Low performance aircraft: FL90, FL100;
• Medium performance aircraft: FL160, FL170;
• High performance aircraft: FL290, FL310.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE TO BE ADOPTED IF OPERATING UNDER A “RLCE”CLEARANCEThe additional radio failure procedures described below will be adopted for use in the case ofradio failure while operating under a “RLCE” clearance where the pilot has informed ATC that theassigned cruising level is unacceptable for the whole duration of the flight.
In the event of radio failure the pilot should:
a. After passing the compulsory reporting point at which he first failed to contact ATC turn 60°left or right and leave controlled airspace or advisory route, maintaining the last cleared level.
b. If the radio failure occurs inside a control zone or terminal control area, he should proceed ascleared to the reporting point nearest to the boundary of the control zone or terminal controlarea before leaving controlled airspace as described above.
c. When clear of controlled airspace or advisory route climb to either
– the cruising level requested in the filed flight plan if operating on a “RLCE” clearance or
– the accepted cruising level on a heading that will keep the aircraft clear of controlled air-space and/or advisory route for a minimum period of five minutes and is also compatiblewith rejoining the intended airway or advisory route when cruising level is reached.
d. When at cruising level, return to controlled airspace or advisory route and proceed in accord-ance with normal radio failure procedure.
If, by day, the climb can be made in VMC there is no need for the pilot to leave controlled air-space or an advisory route.
Should it be necessary to cross an airway during the climb, the airway should be crossed at rightangles at an intermediate 500 feet level.
