3-32 HAITI<br />

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 />

INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES<br />

RVSM RULES - 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 />

(SPEC/ENR 1.7-1)<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.
