Radar separation defines the minimum horizontal and vertical distance that must be maintained between two aircraft in flight. Since safety is the top priority in aviation, controllers must ensure separation is maintained at all times. Radar separation is cons...

Wake turbulence refers to vortex turbulence generated by aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing. Controllers must ensure minimum separation distances to prevent accidents caused by wake turbulence. When is Wake Turbulence Separation Required? Wake...

Only one aircraft may occupy a runway at a time. Takeoff or landing clearance must not be issued if another aircraft is occupying the runway unless specific conditions allow otherwise. A departing aircraft will not normally be cleared for takeoff until: Th...

Visual separation refers to two types of separation procedures used in different scenarios: Visual separation in the vicinity of aerodromes – Relevant primarily for tower controllers and, in some cases, approach controllers. Delegation of separation ...

Coordination and Entry into Controlled Airspace When a VFR aircraft is approaching controlled airspace (CTR), the responsible ATS unit must coordinate its arrival before handing it over. If the airspace is congested, ATC may request adjustments to the aircraf...

A VFR transit occurs when an aircraft enters a control zone (CTR) and crosses it without intending to land at any airport within the zone. VFR transits are typically conducted along designated VFR routes, exit/entry points, or directly on course, subject to A...

Filing a VFR Flight Plan A VFR flight plan is required for: All VFR flights entering controlled airspace (including departures and arrivals at controlled aerodromes). All VFR flights at night. VFR flight plans are filed using ICAO-standard flight plan ...

Effective communication between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC) is essential for flight safety and efficiency. Standardized phraseology ensures clarity, uniformity, and minimizes ambiguity in radiotelephony (RTF) communication. The phraseology outlin...

In this document, we use the following convention: IFR Pilot call sign is DAH1234. This is a flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) to Algiers Houari Boumediene (DAAG). The sign ✈️ before the text means: this is the aircraft pilot transmission. (🛩️ fo...

In this document, we use the following convention: VFR Pilot call sign is F-GLRA. This is a VFR flight from Jersey (EGJJ) to Rennes (LFRN). The sign 🛩️ before the text means: this is the aircraft pilot transmission. (🛩️ for VFR, ✈️ for IFR) The sign 🚁 be...

Flight Rule Changes and Procedures IFR to VFR Transition When an aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) enters Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), it shall not cancel its IFR flight unless it is expected that VMC will be maintained for a ...

General Procedures Route deviations may be necessary due to weather or other operational constraints. When issuing a route deviation, ATC should provide a direct “when able” point for the aircraft to rejoin its original flight plan. If no point is provided, t...
