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 />

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.
