VISUAL FLIGHT RULES<br />
Standard except:<br />
1. VFR flights are not authorized for single engine aircraft<br />
between SS-SR except in cases of emergency or prior permission.<br />
(SPEC/RAC 1-3)<br />
Standard.<br />

HAITI<br />
(AFFSA/AFFSA FIL 04-657)<br />
NATIONAL PROCEDURES<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION/FIR/UIR<br />
COVERAGE - This entry includes the Port Au Prince FIR.<br />
DIMENSIONAL UNITS - ICAO Table except:<br />
1. ALTIMETER SETTING - Hectopascal unit of measurement.<br />
(SPEC/GEN 1-2-1)<br />
ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES - Standard<br />
except:<br />
1. <strong>The</strong> transition altitude for the Haitian FIR is 17,000’.<br />
2. Vertical positioning of aircraft when at or below the<br />
transition altitude is expressed in terms of altitude, whereas such<br />
positioning at or above the transition level is expressed in terms<br />
of flight levels. While passing through the transition layer, vertical<br />
positioning is expressed in terms of altitude when descending<br />
and in terms of flight levels when 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’ (152.3 M) in the<br />
standard atmosphere.<br />
NOTE: Examples of the relationship between flight levels and<br />
altimeter indications are given in the following table, the metric<br />
equivalents being approximate:<br />
Flight Level Altimeter Indication<br />
Number Feet Meters<br />
10 1000 300<br />
15 1500 450<br />
20 2000 600<br />
50 5000 1500<br />
100 10,000 3050<br />
150 15,000 4550<br />
200 20,000 6100<br />
(SPEC/ENR 1.7-1)<br />
VERTICAL SEPARATION - Semi-circular except:<br />
1. Vertical separation during enroute flight shall be expressed<br />
in terms of flight levels at all times during an IFR flight and at<br />
night.<br />
2. IFR flights, and VFR flights above 900 M (3000’), when in<br />
level cruising flight, shall be flown at such flight levels,<br />
corresponding to the magnetic tracks shown in the following<br />
table, so as to provide the required terrain clearance:<br />
000° - 179° 180° - 359°<br />

NOTE: Some of the lower levels in the above table may not be<br />
usable due to terrain clearance requirements.<br />

POSITION REPORTING - Standard.<br />
Standard except:<br />
VISUAL FLIGHT RULES<br />
1. Except when operating as a special VFR flight, VFR flights<br />
shall be conducted so that the aircraft is flown in conditions of<br />
visibility and distance from clouds equal or greater than those<br />
specified in Table 1.<br />
2. Except when a clearance is obtained from an air traffic<br />
control unit, VFR flights shall not take off or land at an airport<br />
within a control zone, or enter the airport traffic zone or traffic<br />
pattern:<br />
a. When the ceiling is less than 450 M (1500’); or<br />
b. When the ground visibility is less than 5 km.<br />
3. VFR flights between sunset and sunrise are not authorized<br />
within Port-au-Prince FIR.
