GEN 2. TABLES AND CODES

GEN 2.1 MEASURING SYSTEM, AIRCRAFT MARKINGS, HOLIDAYS

1. Units of measurement

The table of units of measurement shown below will be used by aeronautical stations

within the KIGALI FIR for air and ground operations.

For measurement of Units used

Distance used in navigation, position reporting, etc. - generally in excess of 2 nautical miles

Nautical Miles and tenths

Relatively short distances such as those relating to aerodromes (e.g. runway lengths)

Meters

Altitudes, elevations and heights Feet

Horizontal speed including wind speed Knots

Vertical speed Feet per minute

Wind direction for landing and taking off Degrees Magnetic

Wind direction except for landing and taking off Degrees True

Visibility Kilometers or meters

Altimeter setting Hectopascal

Temperature Degrees Celsius

Weight Metric tonnes or Kilograms

Time Hours and minutes, beginning at midnight UTC

2. Time system

General

Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used by air navigation services and in publications issued by the Aeronautical Information Service. Reporting of time is expressed to the nearest minute, e.g. 12:40:35 is reported as 1241.

No seasonal modifications are occurring upon the time (hours) in RWANDA. The local time in RWANDA is TWO hours ahead of UTC (UTC +2).

3. Geodetic reference datum

3.1 Name/designation of datum

All published geographical coordinates indicating latitude and longitude are expressed in terms of the World Geodetic System - 1984 (WGS-84) geodetic reference datum.

3.2 Area of application

The area of application for the published geographical coordinates coincides with the area of responsibility of the Aeronautical Information Service, i.e. the entire territory of Rwanda as well as the airspace over the Territorial Waters of Rwanda.



3.3 Use of an asterisk to identify published geographical coordinates

An asterisk (*) will be used to identify those published geographical coordinates which have been transformed into WGS-84 coordinates but whose accuracy of original field work does not meet the requirements in ICAO Annex 11, Chapter 2 and ICAO Annex 14, Volumes I and II, Chapter 2. Specifications for determination and reporting of WGS-84 coordinates are given in ICAO Annex 11, Chapter 2 and in ICAO Annex 14, Volumes I and II, Chapter 2.

GEN 3.1 AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES

1. Responsible service

1.1 The Aeronautical Information Service, which forms part of the Rwanda CAA, ensures the flow of information necessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of international and national air navigation within the area of its responsibility. It consists of AIS Headquarters and International NOTAM Office (NOF).

1.2 AIS Headquarters

Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority Aeronautical Information Services Kigali International Airport P.O. Box 1122 TEL: (250) 25258 5845 Fax: (250) 25258 2609 AFS: HRYRYNYX email: [email protected]

1.3 International NOTAM office (NOF)

Same as AIS

The service is provided 24hrs, 7 days a week.

2. Area of responsibility

The Aeronautical Information Service is responsible for the collection and dissemination of information for the entire territory of Rwanda. The service is also provided for the defined part of ATS route A408 within Tanzanian airspace according to the bilateral agreements signed between the two competent ATS units.

3. Aeronautical publications

3.1 The aeronautical information is provided by the means of publication of the following documents:

— Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP);

— Amendment to the AIP (AIP AMDT);

— Supplement to the AIP (AIP SUP);

— NOTAM and Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB);

— Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC); and

— Checklists and summaries.

NOTAM and the related monthly checklists are issued via the Aeronautical Fixed Service (AFS), while PIB are made available at the international NOTAM office. All other Documents are distributed by air mail.

3.2 Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)

The AIP is the basic aviation document intended primarily to satisfy international requirements for the exchange of permanent aeronautical information and long duration temporary changes essential for air navigation.

AIP RWANDA is published in ONE volume only. The AIP is published in a loose-leaf form in (English) for use in international and domestic operations, whether the flight is a commercial or a private one.

3.3 Amendment service to the AIP (AIP AMDT)

Amendments to the AIP are made by means of replacement sheets.

- regular AIP Amendment (AIP AMDT) are issued in accordance with the established regular interval, incorporate permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated publication date.



A brief description of the subjects affected by the amendment is given on the AIP Amendment cover sheet. New information included on the reprinted AIP pages is annotated or identified by a vertical line in the left margin (or immediately to the left) of the change/addition.

Each AIP page and each AIP replacement page introduced by an amendment, including the amendment cover sheet, are dated. The date consists of the day, month (by name) and year of the publication date.

Each AIP AMDT is allocated separate serial numbers which are consecutive and based on the calendar year. The year, indicated by four digits, is a part of the serial number of the amendment, e.g. AIP AMDT 1/2003.

A checklist of AIP pages containing page number/chart title and the publication or effective date (day, month by name and year) of the information is reissued with each amendment and is an integral part of the AIP.

3.4 Supplement to the AIP (AIP SUP)

Temporary changes of long duration (three months and longer) and information of short duration which consists of extensive text and/or graphics, supplementing the permanent information contained in the AIP, are published as AIP Supplements (AIP SUP). Operationally significant temporary changes to the AIP are published in accordance with the AIRAC system and its established effective dates and are identified clearly by the acronym AIRAC AIP SUP.

AIP Supplements are separated by information subject (General—GEN, En-route—ENR and Aerodromes—AD) and are placed accordingly at the beginning of each AIP Part. Each AIP Supplement (regular or AIRAC) is allocated a serial number which is consecutive and based on the calendar year, i.e. AIP SUP S2001/03.

An AIP Supplement is kept in the AIP as long as all or some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity of the

information contained in the AIP Supplement will normally be given in the supplement itself. Alternatively, NOTAM may be used to indicate changes to the period of validity or cancellation of the supplement.

The checklist of AIP Supplements currently in force is issued in the printed plain-language summary of NOTAM in force each three months.

3.5 NOTAM and Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB)

NOTAM contain information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential for personnel concerned with flight operations. The text of each NOTAM contains the information in the order shown in the ICAO NOTAM format and is composed of the significations/uniform abbreviated phraseology assigned to the ICAO NOTAM Code complemented by ICAO abbreviations, indicators, identifiers, designators, call signs, frequencies, figures and plain language. NOTAM are originated and issued for Kigali FIR and are distributed in two series identified by the letters A and B.

Series A. General rules, en-route navigation and communication facilities, airspace restrictions and information concerning the international airport.

Series B. Information on domestic aerodromes.

Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB), which contain a recapitulation of current NOTAM and other information of urgent character for the operator/flight crews, are available at the airport AIS unit. The extent of the information contained in the PIB is indicated under 5. of this subsection.

3.6 Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC)

The Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC) contain information on the long-term forecast of any major change in legislation,



regulations, procedures or facilities; infor-mation of a purely explanatory or advisory nature liable to affect flight safety; and information or notification of an explanatory or advisory nature concerning technical, legislative or purely administrative matters. To facilitate the use of Rwanda AIC, they are colour coded according to their subject matters as follows;

White (W): Administrative matters e.g. License examination date fees/charges;

Yellow (Y): Operational matters including ATS facilities and requirements;

Pink (P): Matters which need special emphasis on safety;

Mauve (M): Danger area Maps/Charts

Green (G): Maps and Charts; AIC’s are issued in one series and given Internationa distribution.

Each AIC is numbered consecutively within each series on a calendar year basis. The year, indicated by four digits, is a part of the serial number of the AIC, e.g. AIC 1/2000. A checklist of AIC currently in force is issued as an AIC once a year.

3.7 Checklist and summary of NOTAM

A checklist of valid NOTAM is issued monthly via AFS. The checklist is followed by a printed summary of NOTAM dis-tributed by mail to all recipients of the Inte-grated Aeronautical Information Package. It contains a plain language presentation of the valid NOTAM and information about the number of the latest issued AIP AMDT, AIP SUP and AIC that will become effective.

This type of information will be published as an AIRAC AIP AMDT or an AIRAC AIP SUP. If an AIRAC AMDT or SUPP cannot be produced due to lack of time, NOTAM clearly marked AIRAC will be issued. Such NOTAM will immediately be followed by an AMDT or SUPP.

4.2 The table below indicates AIRAC effective dates for the coming years. AIRAC information will be issued so that the information will be received by the user not later than 28 days, and for major changes not later than 56 days, before the effective date. At AIRAC effective date a trigger NOTAM will be issued giving a brief description of the contents, effective date and reference number of the AIRAC AIP AMDT or AIRAC AIP SUP that will become effective on that date. Trigger NOTAM will remain in force as a reminder



in the PIB until the new checklist /summary is issued.

If no information was submitted for publication at the AIRAC date, a NIL notification will be issued by NOTAM not later than one AIRAC cycle before the

AIRAC cycle and the AIRAC effective date concerned. .

ENR 1. GENERAL RULES AND

PROCEDURES

ENR 1.1 GENERAL RULES

1. Reference to ICAO documents

The air traffic rules and procedures applicable

to air traffic in Rwanda territory conform to

annexes 2 and 11 to the convention on

international civil aviation and to those

portions of the procedures for air navigation

services – air traffic management applicable to

aircraft and of the regional supplementary

procedures applicable to the Africa - Indian

Ocean Region, except for the differences

listed in gen 1.7.

2. Minimum safe heights

Aircraft shall not be flown below the minimum safe height except when necessary for take-off and landing. The minimum safe height is the height at which neither an unnecessary noise disturbance nor unnecessary hazards to persons and property in the event of an emergency landing are to be feared; however, over cities, other densely populated areas and assemblies of persons, this height shall be at least 300m (1000ft) above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600m , and elsewhere at least 150m (500ft) above the ground or water, gliders and balloons may be operated below a height of 150m if necessary for the kind of operation and if danger to persons and property is not to be bridges and similar constructions nor below overhead lines and antennas. For flights conducted for special purposes, the local aeronautical authority may grant exemptions.

3. Dropping of objects

The dropping or spraying of objects or other

substances out of or from aircraft is prohibited.

This does not apply to ballast in the form of

water or fine sand, fuel, tow ropes, tow

banners and similar objects if dropped or

discharged at places where no danger to

persons or property exists. The local

aeronautical authority may grant exemptions

to the interdiction if no danger to persons or

property exists.

The dropping of mail may be carried out in

agreement with the aeronautical authority.

4. Acrobatic flying

Generally, acrobatic flights are not permitted.

However, they can be performed beyond

cities, other densely populated 'areas,

assemblies of persons and airports. A special

Permission issued by aeronautical competent

Authority is required.

5. Towing and advertising flights

Advertising flights with towed objects require permission from civil Aviation Authority. Permission shall be granted only if:

a) The pilot holds the rating for towing;

b) The aircraft is equipped with calibrated

barograph for recording altitudes during

flight;

c) During the proposed flight not more than

three aircraft are flying in formation, in

which case a distance of at least 60m shall

be maintained both between the towed

object of the preceding aircrafts and the

ENR 1.1-2 AIP 18 NOV 2010 RWANDA


following aircraft, as well as between the

aircrafts;

d) The legal liability insurance also

explicitly covers the towing of objects.

6. Times and units of measurement

Universal time co-ordinate (UTC) shall be

applied to flight operations.

Units of measurements to be used are

specified in GEN 2.1-1

7. Airspace structure

Within the flight information region, the

Minister of infrastructure establishes the

controlled and uncontrolled airspace

according to the extent of the air traffic

services maintained there, on the basis of the

classification described in subsection ENR

1.4. Within controlled airspace, VFR flights

may be prohibited completely or partly by the

air traffic services with regard to limitation of

space and time if urgently required by the

degree of intensity of air traffic subject to the

air traffic control.

8. Prohibited areas and flight restrictions

The minister of infrastructure establishes the

prohibited and restricted areas, if necessary,

for the prevention of danger to public safety or

order, especially for the safety of air traffic.

The areas are published in the AIP.

9. Take-offs and landings of aeroplanes,

rotorcraft, airships and powered gliders

outside aerodromes admitted for them

For take-offs and landings of aeroplanes,

gliders, rotorcraft and airships..., permission

from the aeronautical authority is required.

The authority granting the permission may ask

the applicant to provide evidence of the

consent of the terrain owner or of other

entitled parties.

10. Ascents of balloons

The ascent of manned free balloon at all

national aerodromes requires permission from

The aeronautical authority.

11. AIR GROUND COMMUNICATIONS

FAILURE

11.1 Communications Failure Procedures for Pilots

11.1.1 If part of aircraft’s radio navigation

equipment fails but two-way communication can still be maintained with ATC, the pilot must inform ATC of the failure and report his altitude and approximate position. ATC may, at its discretion, authorize the pilot to continue his flight in or into controlled airspace.

When radar is available it may be used to

provide navigational assistance to the pilot.

11.1.2 If no authorization to proceed is given by ATC, the pilot should leave, or avoid controlled airspace and areas of dense traffic and

a) If in visual meteorological conditions;

I. Continue to fly in visual

meteorological conditions;



II. Land at the nearest suitable

aerodrome; and

III. Report arrival by the most

expeditious means to the appropriate

air traffic control unit; or

b) If in instrument meteorological

conditions or when it does not appear

feasible to complete the flight in

accordance with a) above:

I. Maintain the last assigned speed

and level, or minimum flight altitude

if higher, for a period of 20 minutes

following the aircraft’s failure to

report its position over a compulsory

reporting point and thereafter adjust

level and speed in accordance with

the filed flight plan. Operate

secondary radar transponder on

mode A, Code 7600, with Mode C;

II. Proceed according to the flight plan

route to the appropriate designated

navigation aid serving the

destination aerodrome and, when

required to ensure compliance with

(III) below, hold over this aid until

commencement of descent;

III. Commence descent from the

navigation aid specified in (II)

above, at or as close as possible to,

the EAT last received and

acknowledge; at or as close as

possible to, the ETA resulting from

the current flight plan;

IV. Complete a normal instrument

approach as specified for the

designated navigation aid;

V. Land, if possible within 30 minutes

after the ETA or the last acknowledged

EAT whichever is later.

11.2 Action taken by ATC when an aircraft has Radio Communications Failure

11.2.1 As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, action shall be taken to ascertain whether the aircraft is able to receive transmissions from the air traffic control unit by requesting it to execute a specified manoeuvre which can be observed by radar or to transmit, if possible, a specified signal in order to indicate acknowledgement.

11.2.2 If the aircraft fails to indicate that it is able to receive and acknowledge transmissions, separation shall be maintained between the aircraft having the communication failure and other aircraft.

11.2.3 Action taken to ensure suitable separation shall cease when:

a) It is determined that the aircraft is

following a procedure differing from

that in 9.1.2; or

b) Through the use of electronic or other

aids, air traffic control units determine

that action differing from that required



by 9.1.2 may be taken without

impairing safety; or

c) Positive information is received that

the aircraft has landed.

11.2.4 As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, appropriate information describing the action taken by the air traffic control unit, or instructions justified by any emergency situation, shall be transmitted blind for the attention of the aircraft concerned, on the frequencies available on which the aircraft is believed to be listening, including the voice frequencies of available radio navigation or approach aids. Information shall also be given concerning:

a) Weather conditions favourable to a

cloud-breaking procedure in areas where

congested traffic may be avoided; and

b) Weather conditions at suitable

aerodromes.

11.2.5 Pertinent information shall be given to other aircraft in the vicinity of the presumed position of the aircraft experiencing the failure.

11.2.6 As soon as it is known that an aircraft, which is operating in its area of responsibility, is experiencing an apparent radio communication failure, an air traffic services unit shall forward information concerning the radio communication failure to all air traffic services units concerned along the route of flight.

The ACC shall take steps to obtain information

on the alternate aerodrome(s) and other

relevant information specified in the filed flight

plan, if such information is not available.

11.3 If circumstances indicate that a controlled flight experiencing a communication failure might proceed to (one of) the alternate aerodrome(s) specified in the filed flight plan, the air traffic control unit(s) serving the alternate aerodrome(s) and any other air traffic control units that might be affected by a possible diversion shall be informed of the circumstances of the failure and requested to attempt to establish communication with the aircraft at a time when the aircraft could possibly be within communication range.

This shall apply particularly when, by

agreement with the operator or a designated

representative, a clearance has been

transmitted blind to the aircraft concerned to

proceed to an alternate aerodrome, or when

weather conditions at the aerodrome of the

intended landing are such that a diversion to

an alternate is considered likely.

11.3.1 When an air traffic control unit receives information that an aircraft, after experiencing a communication failure has re-established communication or has landed, that unit shall inform the air traffic services unit in whose area the aircraft was operating at the time the failure occurred, and other air traffic services units concerned along the route of flight, giving necessary information for the continuation of control if the aircraft is continuing in flight.

11.3.2 If the aircraft has not reported within thirty minutes after:



a. The ETA furnished by the pilot;

b. The ETA calculated by the ACC; or

c. The last acknowledged expected

approach time,

Whichever is latest, pertinent information

concerning the aircraft shall be forwarded to

aircraft operators, or their designated

representatives, and pilots-in-command of any

aircraft concerned and normal control

resumed if they so desire. It is the

responsibility of the aircraft operators, or their

designated representatives, and pilot-in-

command of aircraft to determine whether

they will resume normal operations or take

other action.

12. DIVERSIONS

12.1 Diversions are the act of flying to an aerodrome other than the planned destination with the intention of landing there.

12.2 Normally diversion is made when one of the following circumstances occurs at the planned destination:

a) The weather is reported to be below

the operating company minima;

b) There are obstacles on the

manoeuvring area constituting a

hazard to landing aircraft which cannot

be cleared within a reasonable time;

c) There is failure of an essential ground

aid which is required for the landing;

d) There is likely to be an unacceptable

delay to landing.

12.3 Diversion may be originated by either the pilot or his operating company, or exceptionally by ATC.

12.3.1 When a pilot decides to divert he should inform ATC. ATC will, if possible, advise his operating company or a nominated representative of his diversion when the pilot specifically requests this.

12.3.2 An operating company proposing to divert one of his aircraft should consult ATC before any decision is passed to the pilot. The message to the pilot will be in this form:

Company advice divert to (Aerodrome).

Weather at . (Diversion aerodrome)Reason for

diversion (clearance instruction).

Acknowledge.

The pilot should either follow this advice or

if he is unable to do so, give reasons and

state what he intends to do.

12.3.3 In exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary for ATC to advise a pilot to divert before being able to consult his operating company. In such a case, the company will be told as soon as possible and the message to the pilot will be in this form:

Request divert to (aerodrome). Weather at

.(diversion aerodrome).



Reason for diversion (clearance

instruction).

Acknowledge.

If the pilot is unable to comply with this

request, he should give his reasons and

state his intention.

13. SEPARATION STANDARDS

13.1 General Provisions for the Separation of Controlled Traffic.

13.1.1 Vertical or horizontal separation shall be provided:

a. Between all flights in class A and B

airspaces;

b. Between IFR flights in class C, D

and F airspaces;

c. Between IFR flights and special

VFR flights in class C airspace;

d. Between IFR flights and special

VFR flights; and

e. Between special VFR flights except,

for the cases under b) above in

airspace classes D and E, during the

hours of daylight when flights have

been cleared to climb or descend

subject to maintain own separation and

remaining in visual meteorological

conditions.

13.1.2 No clearance shall be given to execute any manoeuvre that would reduce

the spacing between two aircraft to less than the separation minimum applicable in the circumstances.

13.1.3 Larger separation than the specified minima will be applied whenever exceptional circumstances such as unlawful interference or navigational difficulties call for extra precautions. This should be done with due regard to all relevant factors so as to avoid impeding the flow of air traffic by the application of excessive separations.

13.1.4 Where the type of separation or minimum used to separate two aircraft cannot be maintained, another minimum shall be established prior to the time when the current separation minimum would be infringed.

13.1.5 Whenever, as a result of failure or degradation of navigation, communications, altimetry, flight control or other systems, aircraft performance is degraded below the level required for the airspace in which it is operating, the flight crew shall advise the ATC unit concerned without delay. Where the failure or degradation affects the separation minimum currently being employed, the controller shall take action to establish an other appropriate type of separation or separation minimum.

13.2 Vertical Separation

13.2.1 Vertical separation is obtained by requiring aircraft using prescribed altimeter setting procedures to operate at different levels or altitudes.

13.2.2 The vertical separation minima between aircraft is 1000 FT for flights operating below FL 290 and 2000 FT for flights operating at or above this level.



13.2.3 In so far as practicable, cruising levels of aircraft flying to the same destination shall be assigned in a manner that will be correct for an approach sequence at destination.

13.2.4 An aircraft at a cruising level shall normally have priority over other aircraft requesting that cruising level.

When two or more aircraft are at the same

cruising level, the preceding aircraft shall

normally have priority.

13.2.5 An aircraft may be cleared to a level previously occupied by another aircraft after the latter has reported vacating it, except when:

a) Severe turbulence is known to exist;

b) The highest aircraft is effecting a

cruising climb; or

c) The difference in aircraft performance

is such that less than the applicable

separation minimum may result; in

which case such clearance shall be

withheld until the aircraft vacating the

level has reported at or passing another

level separated by the required

minimum.

13.2.6 When aircraft are established in the holding pattern, vertical separation shall be provided between such holding aircraft and en-route aircraft when such en-route aircraft are within 5 minutes flying time of holding aircraft’s holding area.

13.2.7 Pilots in direct communication with

each other may, with their concurrence, be

cleared to maintain a specified vertical

separation between their aircraft during

ascent or descent.

13.3 Horizontal (Lateral) Separation

13.3.1 Lateral separation of aircraft at the same level is obtained by requiring operation on different routes or different geographical locations as determined by visual observation or by the use of navigation aids.

Means by which lateral separation may be

applied include the following:

13.3.1.1 Geographical Separation: by position reports which positively indicate the aircraft are over different geographic locations as determined visually or by reference to a navigation aid.

13.3.1.2 Track Separation:

by requiring aircraft to fly on specified

tracks which are separated by a

minimum amount appropriate to the

navigation aid, or method employed.

When a navigation aid is being used for

separation purposes, aircraft must be

within the service area of the facility.

Should a pilot report that he is not

receiving, or suspects the accuracy of

indications from the navigation aid, the

facility will not be used for separation.

a) VOR: Separation is deemed to exist

when:

i. Two outbound aircraft:

both aircraft have reported

established on radials which are

separated by a minimum of 20



degrees and it is determined that one

aircraft is time equivalent of 15 NM or

4 minutes (whichever is the greater)

from the facility;

ii. Two outbound aircraft: both

aircraft must have passed a VOR and

reported established on radials which

diverge by 45 degrees or more.

iii. One inbound and one

outbound aircraft: both aircraft have

reported established on radials which

are separated by a minimum number

of degrees and the outbound aircraft

is at least a minimum distance from

the facility as stated below:

1. 20 degrees and time equivalent

of 30 NM or 8 minutes (whichever is

the greater)

2. 40 degrees and time equivalent

15NM or 4 minutes (whichever is the

greater)

b) VOR and co-located DME or VOR and

ATSU radar – Separation is deemed to

exist when:

i. Two outbound aircraft: both

aircraft have reported established on

radials which are separated by a

minimum of 20 degrees and one

aircraft is at least 15NM from the

VOR/DME;

ii. One inbound and one outbound

aircraft:

both aircraft have reported established

on radials which are separated by a

minimum of 20 degrees and the

inbound aircraft is at least 30NM or the

outbound aircraft is at least 20NM from

the VOR/DME;

iii. Two inbound aircraft :

both aircraft have reported established

on radials which are separated by a

minimum of 20 degrees and one

aircraft is at least 30NM from the

VOR/DME;

c) NDB: Separation is deemed to exist

when:

i. Two outbound aircraft:

One aircraft is 15 NM or more from the

NDB and the specified tracks diverge

from that NDB by 30 degrees or more

and both aircraft have reported

established on the specified tracks

from the NDB.

ii. One inbound and one

outbound aircraft: both aircraft

have reported established on to

and from the NDB which are

separated by at least 45 degrees

and it is estimated that the

outbound aircraft is at least

30NM from the NDB.



d) Dead Reckoning (DR):

Separation is deemed to exist

between two aircraft when tracks

diverge by at least 45 degrees and at

least one aircraft is at a distance of

15 NM or more from the point of

intersection of the tracks, this point

being determined either visually or by

reference to a navigation aid.

Note: In all the above cases vertical

separation shall be applied when

both aircraft are the specified range.

Where DME is or radar is not

available, outbound ranges from the

facility should be calculated on an

adequate time-run basis.

In no case should time be less than

four minutes.

13.4 Horizontal (Longitudinal) Separation

13.4.1 Longitudinal separation shall be applied so that the spacing between the estimated positions of the aircraft being separated is never less than a prescribed minimum. Longitudinal separation between aircraft following the same or diverging tracks may be maintained by application of speed control.

13.4.2 In applying a time or distance based longitudinal separation minimum between aircraft following the same track, care shall be exercised to ensure that the separation minimum will not be infringed whenever the following aircraft is maintaining a higher air speed than the preceding aircraft. When aircraft are expected to reach minimum separation, speed control shall be applied to ensure that the required separation minimum is maintained.

13.4.3 Longitudinal separation may be established by requiring aircraft to depart at a specified time, to arrive over a geographical location at a specified time, or to hold over a geographical location until a specified time.

13.4.4 For the purpose of application of longitudinal separation, the terms same track, reciprocal tracks and crossing tracks shall have the following meanings:

a) Same track: same direction tracks

and intersecting tracks or portions

thereof, the angular difference of

which is less than 45 degrees or

more than 315 degrees, and

whose protected airspaces

overlap.

b) Reciprocal tracks: opposite tracks

and intersecting tracks or portions

thereof, the angular difference of

which is more than 135 degrees

but less than 225 degrees, and

whose protected airspaces

overlap.

speed;



c) 5 minutes in the following cases,

provided that in each case the preceding

aircraft is maintaining a true airspeed of 20

KT or more faster than the succeeding

aircraft

i) Between aircraft that have departed from

the same aerodrome;

ii) Between en-route aircraft that have

reported over the same exact significant

point;

iii) Between departing and en-route aircraft

after the en-route aircraft has reported over a

fix that is so located in relation to the

departure point as to ensure that five-minute

separation can be established at the point

the departing aircraft will join the air route; or

iv) 3 minutes in the cases listed under b)

provided that in each case the preceding

aircraft is maintaining a true airspeed of 40 kt

or more faster than the succeeding aircraft.

13.4.5.2 Aircraft maintaining the same level and flying on crossing tracks:

i) 15 minutes at the point of intersection

within 10 minutes of the time the

second aircraft has reported over an

exact reporting point.

Note: To facilitate application of the

procedure where a considerable change of

level is involved, a descending aircraft may

be cleared to some convenient level above

the lower aircraft, or a climbing aircraft to

some convenient level below the higher

aircraft, to permit a further check on the

separation that will obtain while vertical

separation does not exist.

13.4.5.4 Aircraft climbing or descending on crossing tracks:

i) 15 minutes while vertical

separation does not exist ;

ii) 10 minutes while vertical

separation does not exist in class A

and D airspaces if navigation aids

permit frequent determination of

position and speed.

13.4.5.5 Aircraft on reciprocal tracks:



Where lateral separation is not provided,

vertical separation shall be provided for at

least ten minutes prior to and after the time

the aircraft are estimated to pass, or are

estimated to have passed. Provided it has

been determined that the aircraft have

passed each other, this minimum need not

apply.

13.4.6 Longitudinal Separation Minima Based on Distance using Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)

Note: Where the term’ on track ‘is used in

the provisions relating to the application of

longitudinal separation minima using DME,

it means that the aircraft is flying either

directly inbound to or directly outbound

from the station.

13.4.6.1 Aircraft at the same cruising level and on the same track:

a) 20 NM, provided:

i) Each aircraft utilizes the same ‘on

track’ DME stations; and

ii) Separation is checked by obtaining

simultaneous DME readings from the

aircraft at frequent intervals to ensure

that the minimum will not be infringed.

b) 10 NM, provided:

i) the leading aircraft maintains a

true airspeed of 20 kt or more faster

than the succeeding aircraft;

ii) each aircraft utilizes the same ‘on

track’ DME stations; and

iii) Separation is checked by

obtaining simultaneous DME

readings from the aircraft at such

intervals as are necessary to ensure

that the minimum is established and

will not be infringed.

13.4.6.2 Aircraft at the same cruising level and on crossing tracks.

The longitudinal separation prescribed

above in 13.4.6.1 shall also apply provided

each aircraft reports distance from the

station located at the crossing point of the

tracks and that the relative angle between

the tracks is less than 90 degrees.

13.4.6.3 Aircraft climbing or descending on the same track:

a) 10 NM while vertical separation does

not exist, provided:

i) each aircraft utilizes ‘on track’

DME stations;

ii) one aircraft maintains a level while

vertical separation does not exist;

and

iii) Separation is established by

obtaining simultaneous DME

readings from the aircraft.

Note: To facilitate application of the

procedure where a considerable change of

level is involved, a descending aircraft may

be cleared to some convenient level above

the lower aircraft, or a climbing aircraft to

some convenient level below the higher

aircraft, to permit a further check on the



separation that will obtain while vertical

separation does not exist.

13.4.6.4 Aircraft on reciprocal tracks.

Aircraft utilizing on - track DME may be

cleared to climb or descend to or through

the levels occupied by other aircraft

utilizing on-track DME, provided that it has

been positively established that the aircraft

have passed each other and are at least 10

NM apart.

13.5 Minimum Separation between departing aircraft.

13.5.1 One-minute separation is required if aircraft are to fly on tracks diverging by at least 45 degrees immediately after take-off so that lateral separation is provided.

13.5.2 Two minutes are required between take-offs when the preceding aircraft is 40 kt or more faster than the following aircraft and both aircraft will follow the same track.

Note: Wake turbulence categories of

aircraft have to be taken into account in

applying this separation.

13.5.3 Five-minutes separation is required while vertical separation does not exist if a departing aircraft will be flown through the level of a preceding departing aircraft and both aircraft propose to follow the same track. Action must be taken to ensure that the five-minute separation will be maintained or increased while vertical separation does not exist.

13.6 Separation of departing aircraft from arriving aircraft.

13.6.1 If an arriving aircraft is making a complete instrument approach, a departing aircraft may take off:

a) In any direction until an arriving

aircraft has started its procedure turn or

base turns leading to final approach; in a

direction which is different by at least 45

degrees from the reciprocal of the

direction of approach after the arriving

aircraft has started procedure turn or

base turn leading to final approach,

provided that the take off will be made at

least 3 minutes before the arriving

aircraft is estimated to be over the

beginning of the instrument runway.

13.6.2 If an arriving aircraft is making a straight-in- approach, a departing aircraft may take off:

a) In any direction until 5 minutes

before the arriving aircraft is estimated

to be over the instrument runway;

b) In a direction which is different by at

least 45 degrees from the reciprocal of

the direction of approach of the arriving

ii) Before the arriving aircraft

crosses a designated fix on the

approach track; the locations of

such fix to be determined by the

appropriate ATS authority after

consultation with the operators.



13.7 Clearances to fly maintaining own separation while in visual meteorological conditions

13.7.1 When so requested by an aircraft and provided it is agreed by the pilot of the other aircraft, an ATC unit may clear a controlled flight, including departing and arriving flights, operating in airspace Class D in visual meteorological conditions during the hours of daylight to fly subject to maintaining own separation to one other aircraft and remaining in visual meteorological conditions. When a controlled flight is so cleared, the following shall apply:

a) The clearance shall be for a specified

portion of the flight at or below 10 000ft,

during climb or descent;

b) if there is a possibility that flight under

visual meteorological conditions may

cannot be maintained for the term of the

clearance;

c) The pilot of an IFR flight, on

observing that conditions are deteriorating and

considering that operation in VMC will become

impossible, shall inform ATC before entering

instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)

and shall proceed in accordance with the

alternative instructions given.

13.8 Essential Traffic Information

13.8.1 Essential traffic is that controlled traffic to which the provision of separation by ATC is applicable, but which, in relation to a particular controlled flight is not, or will not be, separated from other controlled traffic by the appropriate separation minimum.

13.8.2 Essential traffic information shall be given to controlled flights concerned whenever they constitute essential traffic to each other.

Note: This information will inevitably relate to

controlled flights cleared subject to

maintaining own separation and remaining in

runway.

13.10 Reduction in Separation Minima

13.10.1 Provided an appropriate safety assessment has shown that an acceptable level of safety will be maintained, and after prior consultation with users, the separation minima detailed may be reduced in the following circumstances:

a) When special electronic or other aids

enable the pilot -in – command of an

aircraft to determine accurately the

aircraft’s position and when adequate

communication facilities exist for that

position to be transmitted without delay to

the appropriate air traffic control unit; or

b) When, in association with rapid and

reliable communication facilities, radar-

derived information of an aircraft’s position

is available to the appropriate air traffic

control unit; or

c) When special electronic or other aids

enable the air traffic controller to predict

rapidly and accurately the flight paths of

aircraft, and adequate facilities exist to

verify frequently the actual aircraft positions

with the predicted positions; or

13.10.2 The separation minima detailed may be reduced in the vicinity of aerodromes if:

a) Adequate separation can be provided

by the aerodrome controller when each

aircraft is continuously visible to this

controller; or

b) Each aircraft is continuously visible to

flight crews of the other aircraft concerned

and the pilots thereof report that they can

maintain their own separation; or

c) In the case of one aircraft following

ENR1.5 HOLDING, APPROACH AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

1. General

1.1 The holding, approach and departure procedures in use are based on those contained in the latest edition of ICAO doc 8168 - procedures for air navigation services - aircraft operations (PANS-OPS).

1.2 At Kigali airport the normal procedure is based on the ILS - VOR/DME procedure indicated with the aid of locator. The second procedure is based on the VOR/DME and the locator "LO" if the ILS is in operation.

1.3 Lastly, VOR/DME procedure is also described, which can help if both VOR/DME and locator are unserviceable.

2. Arriving flights

2.1 IFR flights entering and landing within Kigali controlled zone will be cleared to a specified holding point and instructed to commence the approach. The terms of this clearance shall be adhered to until further instructions are

received from approach control. If the clearance limit is reached before further instructions have been received, holding procedure shall continue until the expected approach time.

2.2 Due to the limited airspace available, it is important that the approaches to the patterns and the holding procedures be carried out as precisely as possible. Pilots are strongly requested to inform ATC if for any reason the approach and/or holding cannot be performed as required.

3. Departing flights

3.1 IFR flights departing from controlled aerodromes will receive initial ATC clearance from the local aerodrome control tower. The clearance limit will normally be the aerodrome of destination.

3.2 Flights departing from non-controlled aerodromes shall join the IFR traffic after receiving an ATC clearance if requested when the flight plan items are given by radio to ATC personnel.

Detailed instructions with regard to routes, turns, etc. will be part of the clearance.

ENR 1.7 ALTIMETER SETTING PROCEDURES

1. Introduction

The altimeter setting procedures in use

generally conform to those contained in

ICAO Doc 8168, Vol. I, Part 6 and are

given in full below. Differences are shown

in quotation marks.

The transition altitude is given on the

instrument approach charts. Refer also

chapter ENR1.5.

QNH reports and temperature information

for use in determining adequate terrain

clearance are available from the air traffic

services units. QNH values are given in

hector-Pascals.

2. Basic altimeter setting procedures

2.1 General

2.1.1 A transition altitude is specified for

Kigali International Airport and it

is higher than 450 m above the

aerodrome.

2.1.2 Vertical positioning of aircraft

when at or below the transition altitude

is expressed in terms of altitude,

whereas such positioning at or above

the transition level is expressed in

terms of flight levels. While passing

through the transition layer, vertical

positioning is expressed in terms of

altitude when descending and in terms

of flight levels when ascending.

2.1.3 Flight level zero is located at the

atmospheric pressure level of 1 013.2

hPa (29.92 in). Consecutive flight levels

are separated by a pressure interval

corresponding to 500 ft (152.4 m) in the

standard atmosphere.

Note.— Examples of the relationship

between flight levels and altimeter

indications are given in the following

table, the metric equivalents being

available to aircraft in taxi

clearance prior to take-off.

2.2.2 Vertical positioning of aircraft in

climb is expressed in terms of

altitudes until reaching the

transition altitude above which

vertical positioning is expressed

in terms of flight levels.

2.3 Vertical separation - en route

2.3.1 Vertical separation during en-

route flight shall be expressed in

terms of flight levels at all times

during an IFR flight and at night".

2.3.2 IFR flights, and VFR flights above

10000 ft (3 050 m), when in level

cruising flight, shall be flown at

such flight levels, corresponding

to the magnetic tracks shown in

2.4 Approach and landing

2.4.1 A QNH altimeter setting is made

available in approach clearance

and in clearance to enter the

aerodrome circuit.

2.4.2 The air traffic services at Kigali

Airport may also provide on

request, the QFE (and the QNE in

geopotential meters).

2.4.3 Vertical positioning of aircraft

during approach is controlled by

reference to flight levels until

reaching the transition level below

which vertical positioning is

controlled by reference to

altitudes.

2.5 Missed approach

2.5.1 The relevant portions of 2.1., 2.2

and 2.4 shall be applied in the

event of a missed approach.

2.5.2 The related procedures are put on

the respective approach charts.



3. Altimeter setting region

the Kigali FIR.

4. Procedures applicable to operators (including pilots)

4.1 Flight planning

The levels at which a flight is to be

conducted shall be specified in a flight

plan:

a) In terms of flight levels if the flight

is to be conducted at or above the

transition level, and

b) In terms of altitudes if the flight is to

be conducted in the vicinity of an

aerodrome and at or below the

transition altitude.

The flight level and levels selected for a

flight should ensure adequate terrain

clearance at all points along the route

flown, should meet air traffic services

requirements, and should comply with the

semi-circular rule.

Note 1.- Short flights in the vicinity of an

aerodrome may often be conducted only

at altitudes below the transition altitude.

Filed flight plan is not required for flights

within aerodrome circuit.

Note 2.- Flight levels specified in a plan by

number and in terms of feet or metres as

is case with altitudes.

5. Tables of Cruising levels

a) any IFR flight;

b) any VFR flight:

Departing from or destined for an

aerodrome within a control zone;

- Crossing - flying through Kigali CTR;

- Across the FIR boundary, i.e.

international flights.

1.2 Time of submission

A flight plan shall be submitted at least 30

minutes prior to departure, taking into

account the requirements of ATS units in

the airspace along the route to be flown

for timely information.

1.3 Place of submission

a) Flight plans shall by submitted at the

Air Traffic Services Reporting Office

(ARO) at the departure aerodrome.

b) If departing from an aerodrome which

has no communication with the

international airport, the pilot has to

transmit as soon as possible the items of

his flight plan through the air-to-ground

radio frequencies to Approach control

office.

1.4 VFR flight plan for alerting service purposes.

The alerting service is, in principle,

provided to all flights known by ATS units.

1.5 Contents and form of a flight plan

a) ICAO flight plan forms are available at

airport reporting offices of controlled

aerodromes. The instructions for

completing those forms shall be followed.

b) All aircraft are requested to enter or

leave the Kigali FIR using one of the

reporting points along the approved ATS

routes. The position report overhead the

FIR boundary must be communicated in

air-to-ground messages.

c) When a flight plan is submitted by

telephone, radiotelephone, teletype or

telefax, the sequence of items in the flight

plan form shall be strictly followed.

1.6 Adherence to ATS route structure

No flight plans shall be filed for routes

deviating from the published ATS route

structure unless prior permission has

been obtained from the Kigali ATC

authorities.

1.7 Authorization for special flights

soon as possible.

2. Repetitive flight plan system

Not applied

Changes to the submitted flight plan

2.1 All changes to a flight plan submitted for an IFR flight or a controlled VFR flight and significant changes to a flight plan submitted for an uncontrolled VFR flight shall be reported as soon as possible to the appropriate ATS unit. In the event of a delay in departure of 30 minutes or more for a flight for which a flight plan has been submitted, the flight plan shall be amended or a new flight plan shall be submitted after the old plan has been cancelled.

Note 1.— If a delay in departure of a

controlled flight is not properly reported,

the relevant flight plan data may no longer

be readily available to the appropriate

ATS unit when a clearance is ultimately

requested, which will consequently result

in extra delay for the flight.

Note 2.— If a delay in departure (or

cancellation) of an uncontrolled VFR flight

is not properly reported, alerting or search

and rescue action may be unnecessarily

initiated when the flight fails to arrive at

the destination aerodrome within 30

minutes after its current ETA.



2.2 Whenever a flight, for which a flight plan has been submitted, is cancelled, the appropriate ATS unit shall be informed immediately.

2.3 Changes to a current flight plan for a controlled flight during flight shall be reported or requested, subject to the provisions in ICAO Annex 2, 3.6.2. (Adherence to flight plan). Significant changes to a flight plan for an uncon-trolled VFR flight include changes in endurance or in the total number of persons on board and changes in time estimates of 30 minutes or more.

2.4 Arrival report (closing a flight plan)

After landing at an aerodrome which is

not the destination aerodrome

(diversionary landing), the local ATS unit

shall be specifically informed accordingly.

A report of arrival shall be made at the

earliest possible moment after landing to

the airport office of the arrival and

destination aerodromes.

2.5 Arrival reports shall contain the following elements of information:

— aircraft identification

— departure aerodrome

— destination aerodrome

— time of arrival.

In the case of diversion, insert the “arrival

aerodrome” between “destination

aerodrome” and “time of arrival

3. ATS Messages

3.1 Origination of messages

3.1.1 The pilot is always responsible for the origination of ATS messages in the categories shown below, but at aerodromes one the AFTN, the ATS unit concerned will carry out this duty on behalf of the pilot during its hours of service. The ATS unit must, however be provided by the pilot or his representative with information forming the basis of delay or cancellation messages.

3.1.2 At Aerodromes not on the AFTN, it is the pilot’s responsibility to originate the appropriate message and communicate to the nearest ATS/AIS unit who shall in turn disseminate it accordingly. This shall be via radio or as stipulated in GEN3.4.3. para 6.

3.2 Flight plan messages

3.2.1 Filed flight plan messages shall be transmitted with the objective of being provided with air traffic control service, flight information service or alerting service along part or the whole of the route of flight.

3.2.2 A filed flight plan message shall be originated and addressed as follows by the ATS/AIS unit serving the departure aerodrome or, when applicable, by the ATS/AIS unit receiving a flight plan from an aircraft in flight.



a) An FPL message shall be sent to to ACC or flight information centre serving the control area or FIR with which the departure aerodrome is situated;

b) Unless basic flight plan data are already available as a result, of arrangements made for repetitive flight plans, an FPL message shall be sent to all centres in charge of each FIR or upper FIR along the route which are unable to process current data. In addition, a FPL message shall be sent to the aerodrome control tower at the destination aerodrome. If so required, an FL message shall also be sent to flow management centres responsible for ATS units along the route;

c) When a potential reclearance in flight (RIF) request is indicated in the flight plan, the FPL message shall be sent to the additional centres concerned and to the aerodrome control tower of the revised destination aerodrome;

d) When it has been agreed to use CPL messages but where information is required for early planning of traffic flow, an FPL message shall be transmitted to the ACCs concerned;

e) For a flight along routes where flight information service and alerting service only are provided , an FPL centre in charge of each FIR or upper FIR along the route and to the aerodrome control tower at the destination aerodrome.

3.2.3 In the case of a flight through intermediate stops. Where flight plans for each stage of the flight are filed at the first departure aerodrome, the following procedure shall be applied:

ii) transmit a separate FPL message for each subsequent stage of flight, addressed to the air traffic services reporting office of the appropriate subsequent departure aerodrome;

b) The air traffic services reporting office at each subsequent departure aerodromes shall take action on receipt of the FPL message as if the flight plan has been filed locally.

3.2.4 FPL messages shall normally be transmitted immediately after the filing of the flight plan. However , if a flight plan is filed more than 24 hours in advance of the estimated off-block time of the flight to which it refers, that flight plan shall be held in abeyance until at most 24 hours before the flight begins so as to avoid the need for the insertion of a date group into that flight plan. In addition, if a flight plan is filed early and the provision of 4.2.2 b) or e) or 4.2.3 apply, transmission of the FPL message may be withheld until one hour before the estimated off-block time, provided that this will permit each air traffic services unit concerned to receive the information at least 30 minutes before the time at which the aircraft is estimated to enter its area of responsibility.

3.3 Departure Messages

3.3.1 If a flight plan message has been sent, whether voluntarily or by regulation, a departure message must be sent as soon as the aircraft has taken off. It should be send to the same addressees as the flight plan message.

ENR 1.13 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE

1. General

The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact.

2. Procedures

2.1 Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command should attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification to an ATS unit is possible.

2.2 When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful Inteference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot in- command should, whenever possible:

a) Attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. Other equipment such as onboard transponders, data links, etc. should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and

b) Proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by 300 m (1 000 ft) If above FL 290 or by 150m (500 ft) if below FL 290.






ENR 1.14 AIR TRAFFIC INCIDENTS

1. Definition of air traffic incidents

1.1 “Air traffic incident” is used to mean a serious occurrence related to the provision of air traffic services,

such as:

a) Aircraft proximity (AIRPROX);

b) Serious difficulty resulting in a hazard to aircraft caused, for example, by:

1) Faulty procedures

2) Non-compliance with procedures, or failure of ground facilities.

1.1.1 Definitions for aircraft proximity and AIRPROX.

Aircraft proximity. A situation in which, in the opinion of the pilot or the air traffic services

personnel, the distance between aircraft, as well as their relative positions and speed, has

been such that the safety of the aircraft involved may have been compromised.

Aircraft proximity is classified as follows:

Risk of collision. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which serious risk of collision has

existed.

Safety not assured. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which the safety of the aircraft

may have been compromised.

No risk of collision. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which no risk of collision has

existed.

Risk not determined. The risk classification of aircraft proximity in which insufficient information

was available to determine the risk involved, or inconclusive or conflicting evidence precluded

such determination.

AIRPROX. The code word used in an air traffic incident report to designate aircraft proximity.

1.2 Air traffic incidents are designated and identified in reports as follows:

Type Designation

Air traffic incident Incident



as a) above AIRPROX (aircraft proximity)

as b) 1) and 2) above Procedure

as b) 3) above Facility

2. Use of the Air Traffic Incident Report Form

(See model on pages ENR 1.14-5 to 1.14-9)

The Air Traffic Incident Report Form is intended for use:

a) by a pilot for filing a report on an air traffic incident after arrival or for confirming a report made initially by radio during flight.

Note.— The form, if available on board, may also be of use in providing a pattern for making the initial report in flight.

b) by an ATS unit for recording an air traffic incident report received by radio, telephone or teleprinter.

Note.— The form may be used as the format for the text of a message to be transmitted over the AFS network.

3. Reporting procedures (including in-flight procedures)

3.1 The following are the procedures to be followed by a pilot who is or has been involved in an incident:

a) during flight, use the appropriate air/ground frequency for reporting an incident of major significance, particularly if it involves other aircraft, so as to permit the facts to be ascertained immediately;

b) as promptly as possible after landing, submit a completed Air Traffic Incident Report Form

1) For confirming a report of an incident made initially as in a) above, or for making the initial report on such an incident if it had not been possible to report it by radio;

2) For reporting an incident which did not require immediate notification at the time of occurrence.

3.2 An initial report made by radio should contain the following information:

a) aircraft identification;



b) type of incident, e.g. aircraft proximity;

c) The incident; 1. a) and b); 2. a), b), c), d), n); 3. a), b), c), i); 4. a), b);

d) Miscellaneous: 1. e).

2.

3.3 The confirmatory report on an incident of major significance initially reported by radio or the initial report on any other incident should be submitted to the ATS Reporting Office of the aerodrome of first landing; then, be forwarded to The Directorate of Transports. The pilot should complete the Air Traffic Incident Report Form, supplementing the details of the initial reports as necessary.

3.4 The incident report will be submitted at Kigali if the daily program plans a landing at that Airport.

4. Purpose of reporting and handling of the form

4.1 The purpose of the reporting of aircraft proximity incidents and their investigation is to promote the safety of aircraft. The degree of risk involved in an aircraft proximity incident should be determined in the incident investigation and classified as “risk of collision”, “safety not assured”, “no risk of collision” or “risk not determined”.

4.2 The purpose of the form is to provide investigatory authorities with as complete information on an air traffic incident as possible and to enable them to report back, with the least possible delay to the pilot or operator concerned, the result of the investigation of the incident and, if appropriate, the remedial action taken.

ENR 5.6 BIRD MIGRATION AND

AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA

1. Bird migration

1.1 There are no significant and periodic birds shifting which should be considered as a hazard to air navigation.

1.2 However, birds may move to the aerodromes from time to time In such a manner that It would not be able to determine accurately the number or the altitude of those birds, The presence of birds at aerodromes occurs during the rainy seasons and bigger numbers are seen at the beginning and towards the end of those periods, Groups of crows, eagles and vultures are mostly seen,

1.3 Reporting of bird strike

1.3.1 General

To achieve more comprehensive statistics of bird strikes, the Civil Aviation Administration is collecting Information; all pilots on flights within Kigali FIR are therefore requested to report to the Civil Aviation Administration all cases of bird strike or incidents where a risk of bird strike has been present.

1.3.2 Reporting

To facilitate the reporting of incidents, a Bird Strike Reporting Form has been produced and may be obtained at the International airport briefing office. Any supplementary information on the circumstances under which the incident took place should also be added,

2. Areas with sensitive fauna

2.1 Many species of birds as well as mammals are sensitive to noise from aircraft and overflying their breeding and resting places may be critical. Overflying of such areas at heights below 1 000 ft (300 m) shall be avoided,

2.2 The areas are shown on the Index chart on page ENR 6-3, as RESTRICTED.

AD 1. AERODROMES/HELIPORTS - INTRODUCTION

AD 1.1 AERODROME/HELIPORT AVAILABILITY

1. General conditions under which

aerodromes/heliports and associated

facilities are available for use

Commercial flights are not permitted to take off from or land at any aerodrome not listed in this AlP except in cases of real emergency or when special permission has been obtained from the civil Aviation Administration.

1.1 Landings made other than at an

international Aerodromes/heliport or a

designated alternate aerodrome/heliport

If a landing is made other than at an international aerodrome or a designated alternate aerodrome, the pilot-in-command shall report the landing as soon as practicable to the health, customs and immigration authorities at the international aerodrome at which the landing was scheduled to take place. This notification may be made through any available communication link.

The pilot-in-command shall be responsible for ensuring that:

a) If pratique has not been granted to the aircraft at the previous landing, contact between other persons on the one hand and passengers and crew on the other is avoided;

b) Cargo, baggage and mail are not removed from the aircraft except as provided below;

c) Any foodstuff of overseas origin or any plant material is not removed from the aircraft except where local food is unobtainable. All food refuse including peelings, cores, stones of fruit, etc must be collected and returned to the galley refuse container, the contents of which should not be removed from

the aircraft except for hygiene reasons; in that circumstance the contents must be destroyed either by burning or by deep burial.

1.2 Traffic of persons and vehicles on

aerodromes

1.2.1 Demarcation of zones

The grounds of each aerodrome are divided into two zones:

a) A public zone comprising the part of the aerodrome open to the public; and

b) A restricted zone comprising the rest of the aerodrome

1.2.2 Movement of persons

Access to the restricted zone is authorized only under the conditions prescribed by the special rules governing the aerodrome. The customs, police, and health inspection offices and the premises assigned to transit traffic are normally accessible only to passengers, to staff of the public authorities and airlines and to authorized persons in pursuit of their duty. The movement of persons having access to the restricted zone of the aerodrome is subject to the conditions prescribed by the air navigation regulations and by the special rules laid down by the aerodrome administration.

1.2.3 Movement of vehicles

The movement of vehicles in the restricted zone is strictly limited to vehicles driven or used by persons carrying a traffic permit or an official card of admittance. Drivers of vehicles, of whatever type, operating within the confines of the aerodrome must respect the direction of the traffic, the traffic



signs and the posted speed limits and generally comply with the provisions of the Highway Code and with the instructions given by the competent authorities.

1.3 Policing

Police services exist at aerodromes and airports. However, care and protection of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and goods used at the aerodrome are not the responsibility of the State or any concessionaire; they cannot be held responsible for loss or damage which is not incurred through action by them or their agents.

HRYR AD 2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

1. Airport regulations

1.1 When a local regulation is of importance for the safe operation of aircraft on the apron, the information will be given to each aircraft by the TWR or SMC.

1.2 The TWR has means of direct communication with the refuelling unit. Notification of need of fuel has to be given well in advance, before entering the traffic area.

1.3 All categories of operations like embarkation and disembarkation of passengers and cargo, for internal or international flight, on commercial or private business including training and technical flights must take place at the main traffic area facing to the terminal building, unless otherwise exempted by the airport authority.

1.4 All aircraft of AUW (All Up Weight) of 30 tons or plus are not allowed to make a half-turn on the runway, such a manoeuvre has to be done on the turn-around-area at the end of the runway.

2. Taxiing to and from stands

2.1 If the traffic permits, a temporary parking of short duration may be allowed in front of the terminal building to aircraft of the general aviation for the purposes of loading and offloading. If it is foreseeable that the operations need much more time, the pilot in command has to inform the TWR or the marshaller in order to allocate a convenient stand for such an aircraft.

2.2 Aircraft taxiing on the traffic area need to be so cleared either by the TWR or SMC whose frequencies are 118.300 MHZ and 121.700 MHZ.

2.3 The handling of cargo is done on parking bay number 5 and 6 as far as practicable.

3. Parking area for small aircraft

(General aviation)

A separate parking area is established to the southern part of the traffic area, whereas only those aircraft of general aviation are accepted.

4. Parking area for helicopters

Usually, the parking guidance for helicopters is assisted from the control tower in respect of the purpose of the flight.

5. School and training flights - Technical

test flights - Use of runways

The permanent watch on appropriate frequencies is mandatory. Flights have to comply with ATC instructions. They are not allowed between sunset and sunrise unless otherwise authorized by the Chief of Operations Department.

6. Removal of disabled aircraft from

runways

When an aircraft is wrecked on a runway, it is the duty of the owner or user of such aircraft to have it removed as soon as possible.

If a wrecked aircraft is not removed from the runway as quickly as possible by the owner or user, the aircraft will be removed by the aerodrome authority at the owner's or user's expense. They cannot contest whatever means used, or claim any damage against the airport administration.



HRYR AD 2.21 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

No special procedures are set up with regard to limitations of aircraft movements because of noise developed by engines.

However, the airport authority and the air traffic control services may suggest an alteration of aircraft movements under exceptional circumstances.

HRYR AD 2.22 FLIGHT PROCEDURES

Some aircraft using Kigali airport are not compliant with regard to the noise limitations. They are strongly advised to keep away from Kigali City Center. Always landing on RWY 28; take- off on RWY 10

4.2 VFR FLIGHTS

4.2.1 Take off and landing

Except for aircraft which have a take off weight below 5700 KG take off will be performed on runway 19 and landing on runway 01.

Take off should be terminated 15 MIN before Aerodrome closing time.

4.2.2 Special VFR Flights

Special VFR flights are allowed when visibility is more than 5 KM (QBA >5 KM) and ceiling more than 300 M).

Arriving flights have to contact the tower before entering the TMA.

Departure flights must monitor tower frequency and fly VMC up to 15 NM from VOR.

5. GISENYI FLIGHT RULES

5.1 IFR FLIGHTS

5.1.1 Arrival flights

The Gesenyi arrival flight procedures are the same as Goma’s

a) North arrivals ( by B37) are cleared to descend 400 FT /MIN until reaching 16500 FT up to 10 NM of GOM DME. They will then be cleared to descend and hold at 13500 FT. The VOR holding pattern 181º/001º is a standard one, but pilots arriving from the South may request VOR-DME holding pattern (12/17 NM on 181º/001º).

b) When the VOR is unserviceable, VMC descent and Visual approach for landing are authorized by Goma Tower on pilot’s

request.

c) Aircraft arriving at Gisenyi perform GOMA VOR or VOR/DME IFR approach procedures.

On final approach at 6500 FT QNH, with aerodrome in sight, the pilot is cleared to enter Goma Aerodrome Circuit, downwind of Goma or base leg of Gisenyi and perform visual approach and landing at Gisenyi.

c) Aircraft leaving Gisenyi must monitor Goma Tower frequency and fly VMC up to 15 NM from the VOR.

6. COMMUNICATION FAILURE

PROCEDURES BETWEEN GOMA AND

GISENYI

In case of communication failure between Goma and Gisenyi Aerodromes, the following procedures will be applied for aircraft departing or landing at Gisenyi.

6.1 Arrivals

a) IMC

After having executed IFR approach at Goma, when on downwind or in base leg, contact Gisenyi Tower for landing clearance.

b) VMC

After entering the Aerodrome circuit, contact Gisenyi Tower for landing clearance.

6.2 Departures

a) IMC

IFR and Special VFR flights are only authorized if the pilot can obtain prior clearance by Goma Tower before take off.

State Aircraft requesting special VFR flights toward the East sector are exceptionally authorized by Gisenyi Control Tower.

The pilots must maintain VMC and must monitor Goma Tower until departing the TMA.

b) VMC

To the East and South Sectors, aircraft may be cleared to take off by Gisenyi Tower and must remain East the axis of the 19/01 Gisenyi runway.

To the West and North, Aircraft may be cleared to take off by Gisenyi Tower and must remain East of the axis of the 01/19 Gisenyi runway.

Aircraft can fly towards the West and North sectors after being cleared by Goma Tower.

In case of total communication failure at one of the aerodrome (Gisenyi or Goma) the remaining operational tower will assume the responsibility of the other.
