If ATC clearance for continuation of the flight beyond the navigation aid serving as clearance limit has not been issued, the pilot shall enter the holding pattern, maintain the level last assigned and confirmed, and await further ATC clearances.Ī. If the holding time is 20 minutes or less, the EAT will be transmitted only when it is considered necessary by ATC. If IFR flights are expected to hold for more than 20 minutes over the navigation aid serving as clearance limit, ATC will generally transmit the EAT to the pilot. Wake turbulence category for airbus A380 at present exclusively: J (super). Pilots of B-757 aircraft are not expected to add the word “HEAVY” to their call sign when establishing radio contact with ATC units or when changing frequencies. Pilots of B-757 aircraft who, following an aircraft of the weight category “HEAVY”, require the application separation minima in accordance with the criteria for aircraft of the weight category “MEDIUM”, shall report this to the competent ATS unit in due time and of their own accord. Separation from and for these aircraft will be provided according to the wake turbulence separation minima for aircraft with 136000kg take-off mass or more. When taxiing behind an aircraft of higher wake turbulence category a minimum distance of 200m should be kept whenever possible.Īircraft type B-757 is grouped into the weight category “HEAVY” because of its wake turbulence characteristics. Pilots of uncontrolled flights are advised to observe the aforementioned separation minima whenever they are behind an aircraft of higher wake turbulence category either at the same altitude or less than 1000ft below.į. Pilots having the preceding aircraft in sight and being able to attend a safe distance themselves may inform ATC that increased separation minima are not required.Į. When Air Traffic Control is exercised without radar, time separation on approach will be:ĭ.
When radar separation is applied, the minimum distances will be:Ĭ. Increased separation minima will be applied in an effort to minimize the hazard caused by wake turbulence.ī. When the expected delay is 20 minutes or more, pilots will be informed as to the time when the engines may be started.Ī. When the expected delay is less than 20 minutes, pilots will be cleared to start engines immediately. The start-up clearance shall not be requested before it has been ascertained that the aircraft can start the engines within 5 minutes after the clearance has been issued. Aircraft departing in accordance with a flight plan including a change from VFR to IFR, are recommended to request a start-up clearance. To maintain an orderly flow of aircraft movements, it is necessary that pilots of aircraft departing in accordance with an IFR flight plan request a start-up clearance. – for VFR flights in class “C” and “D” airspace and at night in class “E” airspace,Įnroute GAT VFR flights shall not be operated above FL195 in class “C” airspace.įor differences from ICAO VMC specifications see relevant paragraph below.
The competent ATC unit may grant exceptions in individual cases to the speed limitation below FL100: IFR flights are not permitted within class “G” airspace.
Germany has adopted the ICAO ATS airspace classification as listed in ATC chapter “ICAO ATS Airspace Classifications - Annex 11”.Īirspace classes “A” and “B”, however, are not allocated within German airspace.ĪTC clearance is required for IFR flights operating in class “F” airspace. Lower landing gear, set flaps for landing and establish final approach speed shortly before or over Outer Marker.įlights of civil aircraft with supersonic speed (exceeding Mach 1.0) are prohibited.
