POSITION REPORTING - Standard.<br />

VISUAL FLIGHT RULES<br />

1. VFR flights are not authorized for foreign aircraft.<br />

NOTE: An exception applies to paragraph 1 for aircraft<br />

arriving/departing GUANTANAMO BAY NS (MUGM). See<br />

GUANTANAMO BAY NS (MUGM) REMARKS and VFR ARR/DEP<br />

ROUTE-GUANTANAMO BAY NS (MUGM) Procedure in Section C,<br />

C & SA Enroute Supplement.<br />

(NAVFIG/FIL 92-16)<br />

Standard.<br />

INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES<br />

RVSM RULES - Standard.<br />

FLIGHT PLANNING<br />

(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 04-657)<br />

1. All aircraft flying to or from the national territory or<br />

overflying its airspace shall do so following Instrument Flight<br />

Rules.<br />

2. All aircraft flying within Habana FIR (MUHA) using any<br />

trajectory not requiring flying over the national territory shall do<br />

so on an IFR Flight Plan or controlled VFR, avoiding overflying the<br />

territory and jurisdictional waters.<br />

3. All aircraft must communicate with no less than 10 minutes<br />

prior to the operation: position and approximate time of<br />

overflight of the outside line of the FIR.<br />

4. Air traffic service data relative to Habana FIR (MUHA) is<br />

published for information only. Accuracy of data cannot be<br />

confirmed. Consult NOTAM prior to flight within this area.<br />

(SPEC/RAC0-2,3,FAL1-1.8)<br />

SUPPLEMENTARY AIRPORT INFORMATION -<br />

Guantanamo Bay NS (MUGM)<br />

1. Guantanamo Bay NS (MUGM) is a Naval Airspace<br />

Reservation. Official business only. No flight operations within<br />

GITMO (MUGM) local flying area permitted without prior<br />

approval and briefing by NAVSTA operations.<br />

2. Aircrew and passengers remaining over night must have<br />

obtained berthing and AREA CLEARANCE message from<br />

COMNAVBASE GITMO BAY (MUGM) prior to arrival. 24 hour<br />

prior notice of intended landing required of all aircraft (See<br />

Remarks in C&SA Enroute Supplement). Aircrews must provide<br />

own security, if required.<br />

3. Aircraft arriving GITMO (MUGM) on an IFR flight plan shall<br />

cancel IFR clearance at or prior to crossing the Miami FIR (KZMA)<br />

boundary and receive acknowledgment. For VFR<br />

arrival/departure information see Section C, C&SA Enroute<br />

Supplement.<br />

NATIONAL PROCEDURES<br />

GENERAL INFORMATION/FIR/UIR<br />

COVERAGE - This entry includes the Santo Domingo<br />

FIR/UIR.<br />

DIMENSIONAL UNITS - ICAO except:<br />

1. ALTIMETER SETTING - Inches of mercury.<br />

(SPEC/GEN 1-6)<br />

ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES - Standard<br />

except:<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> transition altitude in the Santo Domingo FIR is 17,000’<br />

MSL.<br />

2. Vertical position of aircraft within the Santo Domingo FIR is<br />

expressed in terms of altitude, until 17,000’ MSL and in terms of<br />

flight levels at and over FL180. While passing through the<br />

transition layer, vertical position is expressed in terms of altitude<br />

descending and in terms of flight levels ascending.<br />

3. Flight Level zero is located at the atmospheric pressure level<br />

of 1013.2 hPa (29.92”). Consecutive flight levels are separated by<br />

a pressure interval corresponding to 500’, (152.4 M) in the<br />

standard atmosphere.<br />

Examples of the relationship between flight levels and altimeter<br />

indications are given in the following table, the metric equivalents<br />

being approximate<br />

.<br />

Flight Level<br />

Number Feet<br />

180 18000 5500<br />

190 19000 5800<br />

200 20000 6100<br />

210 21000 6400<br />

220 22000 6700<br />

230 23000 7000<br />

240 24000 7300<br />

Altimeter Indication<br />

Meters<br />

4. A QNH altimeter setting is made available to aircraft in taxi<br />

clearance prior to take-off.<br />

5. Vertical positioning of aircraft during climb is expressed in<br />

terms of altitudes until reaching the transition altitude (17,000’),<br />

and above this, vertical positioning is expressed in terms of flight<br />

levels.<br />

(SPEC/ENR 1.7-1, 2)<br />

VERTICAL SEPARATION - Semi-circular except:<br />

1. Vertical separation during enroute flight shall be expressed<br />

in terms of flight levels or altitudes.<br />

2. IFR and VFR flights above 900 M (3000’), when in cruising<br />

flight altitude or flight levels, shall be flown at those<br />

corresponding to the magnetic tracks shown in the following<br />

table, as so prescribed in Appendix C, Annex 2 of ICAO.
