400 RW ASW: Match Lamps<br />

0-300 Dippers<br />

NOTES: 1. Barometric pressures below 983 mb will reduce the separation between VS/MPA <strong>and</strong><br />

RW ASW (Passive).<br />

2. ASW helicopters in the 0 to 400 feet allocation should be co-operating on the same<br />

ASW frequency.<br />

3. Administrative sorties will fly in an appropriate altitude/FL b<strong>and</strong> monitoring the frequency<br />

in use, but will use an alternate frequency for routine, non-operational messages.<br />

4. If quadrantal FLs are required, the separation plan must be amended by commencing<br />

the FL allotments at 500 feet below the semi-circular plan above, e.g., CAP (Low) becomes<br />

FL 95-FI 205.<br />

5. Communications Relay — Provision has not been made in the plan for communications<br />

relay aircraft (FW or RW) employed on MIDDLEMAN/AUTOCAT/SATCATS tasks.<br />

Often this tasking will be combined with other roles in which altitude allocation the aircraft<br />

will operate. If dedicated sorties are required, the Air Coordinator may have to re-allocate<br />

airspace accordingly.<br />
