where electronic data processing equipment is used for this
purpose.
[PANS-ATM, Chapter 4]
8. To facilitate coordination of air traffic between
adjacent ATS units and also to reduce the amount of flight
data required to be exchanged between them as part of this
coordination, ATS units should make maximum use of data
banks and/or repetitive flight plans covering recurrent flight
operations.
[PANS-ATM, Chapter 4]
9. Air traffic services should develop appropriate
Letters of Agreement with military ATS units and/or air
defense units under which they would provide pertinent
flight plan and other data concerning flights of civil aircraft.
Areas or routes relevant to these Agreements should be
designated where the requirements of Annex 2, 3.3.1.2 d)
are applicable. Data would then be available to assist civil
and military units in the identification of strayed or
unidentified aircraft. The Agreements should require also a
military unit to advise appropriate civil ATS units when it
has observed any aircraft which might be a strayed or
unidentified civil aircraft.
[Annex 11, 2.16.3.1]
CRUISING LEVELS
10. In order to designate series of cruising levels for
use on specific ATS routes, only the terms “odd” and
“even” should be used, the term “odd” referring to that
series of levels listed in Appendix 3 to Annex 2 for tracks
from 000 to 179 and the term “even” referring to that for
tracks from 180to 359.
[Annex 2, Appendix 3 and PANS-ATM, Chapter 5]
11. Strictest possible compliance with the
phraseology prescribed for the transmission of flight level
information in air-ground communications should be
ensured both by ATS personnel and by flight crews.
[PANS-ATM, Chapter 12]
VHF/HF VOLMET BROADCASTS
(TABLE ATS 2)
12. Table ATS 2 contains the VHF and HF
VOLMET broadcast system requirements for the EUR
region. The broadcasts provide information on current
meteorological conditions at designated aerodromes in the
region.
13. The reports to be included in the EUR VHF
VOLMET broadcasts should contain the following
information in the order indicated:
a) name of the aerodrome;
b) time of the observation;
c) surface wind direction and speed;
d) visibility;
e) runway visual range, when available;
f) present weather;
g) cloud amount, type* and height of base;
h) air temperature and dew-point temperature;
i) QNH; and
j) supplementary meteorological information.
14. Principles to be applied in the provision of the
EUR VHF VOLMET Broadcast System are contained in
Attachment C to this part.
PROVISION OF INFORMATION ON
HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS
15. SIGMETs and special air-reports should be
transmitted with the least possible delay to aircraft likely to
be affected and should cover the portion of the route up to
one hour’s flying time ahead of the aircraft.
[Annex 11, 4.2.3 and PANS-ATM, Chapter 9]
16. Means and procedures should be developed to
ensure that ATS units will be able to assist aircraft in their
area of responsibility in the event of occurrence of severe
weather phenomena so that:
a) aircraft are provided sufficiently in advance with
information on severe weather especially in or near
terminal control areas; and
* The type of cloud needs to be reported only for cumulonimbus
when it is observed at or near the aerodrome.
