TRANSITION TO NEW YORK OCEANIC CTA/FIR
VIA: ORF AR9 ZIBUT
All airspace operators transitioning the New York Center West
Atlantic Route System (WATRS) via ZIBUT intersection, en route
to the New York Center North Atlantic RNP/MNPS/RVSM
airspace, are encouraged to flight plan via:
ZIBUT [DCT] LARGE [DCT]: SLATN [or] JOBOC [or] DOVEY
Operators opting to flight plan via any other fix or
Latitude/Longitude coordinates east of ZIBUT intersection shall
expect no higher than FL290 and may be rerouted to
accommodate WATRS nonradar traffic.
NOTE: This route may be filed bidirectionally

FLIGHT PLANNING 1-3
c. Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) in WATRS
airspace.
(1) Only RVSM compliant aircraft will be cleared to
operate at RVSM altitudes in WATRS Airspace between FL290-
410 (inclusive) contained within New York FIR. Aircraft that are
not RVSM compliant (e.g. state aircraft, ferry and maintenance
flights) will only be cleared to operate in WATRS exclusionary
airspace after prior coordination with the appropriate Center.
2000’ vertical separation will be applied to such aircraft.
NOTE 1: Military (state) aircraft will be accommodated in WATRS
Airspace, but must follow flight planning procedures noted below.
NOTE 2: Use of the term "RVSM Airspace" refers to the RVSM
exclusive environment. Airspace where both RVSM compliant and
non-compliant operators may be accommodated at all altitudes is
referred to as "RVSM Transition Areas."
(2) TCAS - Unless otherwise authorized by the FAA,
aircraft equipped with TCAS II and used in RVSM operations must
incorporate Version 7.0 or a later version.
(3) WATRS PLUS Route Structure Redesign &
Separation Reduction
For full details refer to the International NOTAM section of the
current FAA NOTAM Publication.
On 5 June 2008, the FAA implemented a redesigned route
structure, a reduced lateral separation standard and associated
operational policies on oceanic routes or areas in the WATRS Plus
Control Areas (CTA).
Control Areas (CTA) Affected:
Route structure redesign and 50 NM lateral separation was
implemented in the following CTAs:
- Atlantic portion of the Miami Oceanic CTA
- San Juan CTA/FIR and
- West Atlantic Route System (WATRS)
New York Oceanic airspace outside of WATRS is transition
airspace. 50 NM lateral separation may be applied in this airspace
between aircraft authorized RNP-10 or RNP-4.
NOTE: The WATRS Plus route structure redesign chart is posted
on the WATRS Plus Webpage.
