DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
FDC 8/7569

Democratic Republic of Congo (DROC) (Formerly Zaire) Advisory - Potentially Hostile Situation. Attention U.S. Operators: The DROC has been involved in a civil war periodically since 1996; fighting there has shifted back and forth from one side of the country to the other. None of the forces involved in the regional fighting is known to have the capability of targeting aircraft at normal overflight cruising altitudes above 15,000 feet above ground level (AGL). Aircraft operating below 15,000 feet AGL in the DROC may come within weapons range as the fighting continues. An October 1998 incident in Eastern Zaire, where a civilian B-727 was shot down by a man-portable missile, demonstrates that the rebel forces in the DROC can and will shoot down civil aircraft they believe to be carrying government soldiers or weaponry. The Department of State has issued a travel warning for this region. Operators considering flights within the DROC should familiarize themselves with the current situation. (FAA/AIA-100 5/14/02)

ETHIOPIA
FDC 0/4999
KFDC A0012/00

Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 87 - Prohibition Against Certain Flights Within the Territory and Airspace of Ethiopia.

a. Applicability. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 87 applies to all U.S. air carriers or commercial operators, all persons exercising the privileges of an airman certificate issued by the FAA unless that person is engaged in the operation of a U.S.-registered aircraft for a foreign air carrier, and all operators using aircraft registered in the United States except where the operator of such aircraft is a foreign air carrier.

b. Flight prohibition. Except as provided in paragraphs c and d of this SFAR, no person described in paragraph a may conduct flight operations within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north latitude.

c. Permitted operations. This SFAR does not prohibit persons described in paragraph a from conducting flight operations within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia where such operations are authorized either by exemption issued by the Administrator or by an authorization issued by another agency of the United States Government with the approval of the FAA.

d. Emergency situations. In an emergency that requires immediate decision and action for the safety of the flight, the pilot in command of an aircraft may deviate from this SFAR to the extent required by that emergency. Except for U.S. air carriers and commercial operators that are subject to the requirements of 14 CFR 121.557, 121.559, or 135.19, each person who deviates from this rule shall, within ten (10) days of the deviation, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays, submit to the nearest FAA Flight Standards District Office a complete report of the operations of the aircraft involved in the deviation, including a description of the deviation and the reason therefor.

e. Expiration. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation shall remain in effect until further notice. (FAA/AIA-100 5/14/02)

ETHIOPIA/KENYA
KFDC A0012/97

Ethiopia/Kenya Advisory: Potentially Hostile Situation. Attention U.S. Operators: Aircraft that cross into Ethiopian airspace while taking off or landing at Mandera Airstrip in Kenya may be fired upon by Ethiopian forces. Mandera is located in the extreme northeastern corner of Kenya, adjacent Ethiopia and Somalia. Operators considering flights to northeastern Kenya should familiarize themselves with the current situation. (FAA/AIA-100 5/14/02)

EUROPE

EUROCONTROL-Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS).

All aircraft flying into, departing from, or transiting Europe within the General Air Traffic (GAT) Civil system must file an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) flight plan with the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS) managed by the EUROCONTROL Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). This system is the sole source for the distribution of the IFR/GAT portions of flight plan information to Air Traffic Control (ATC) within participating European Countries collectively known as the IFPS Zone (IFPZ). Flight plans entering, overflying or departing g the IFPZ must be addressed to only the following IFPS Units:

NETWORK

AFTN

EBBDZMFP

LFPYZMFP

SITA

BRUEP7X

PAREP7X

Additional information may be obtained from Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) and/or Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC) issued by individual countries, through commercial flight planners, or by contacting EUROCONTROL, rue de la Fusee, 96, B-1130, Brussels, Belgium. Telephone: 32-2- 729-9750/9751, FAX: 32-2- 729-9019 and on the EUROCONTROL Web site: www.eurocontrol.be

In addition, aircrews are responsible for ensuring that the ICAO flight filed is in accordance with the current Strategic Routing Scheme (SRS) as published in each national Aeronautical Information Publication. The ICAO Flight Plan may be filed at any time but must be filed at least 3 hours prior to flight. In those cases where a diplomatic clearance route is specified and it differs from the SRS route, the SRS route will be processed. However, this does not relieve the flight crew of diplomatic clearance requirements. Filing the flight plan well in advance allows time to resolve discrepancies between the two requirements.

NOTE-
IFPS Zone Countries - Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

FLORIDA STRAITS AND NEARBY INTERNATIONAL WATERS
FDC 6/1335

Attention U.S. Airmen and Operators: Due to recent incidents involving civil aircraft of U.S. registry, the FAA recommends that any operators conducting flight in the Florida Straits and nearby international waters remain vigilant for other air traffic in the area and strictly abide by the international and FAA Federal Aviation Regulations. The Administrator has issued a cease and desist order and notice of enforcement policy effective February 29, 1996. Any person holding a U.S. Airman Certificate and/or operating U.S. registered civil aircraft shall comply with Federal Aviation Regulations prohibiting unauthorized operation within Cuban territorial airspace. Unauthorized entry into this airspace will subject the individual to enforcement action to the maximum extent permitted by law, including: revocation of pilot certificate, maximum civil penalties, seizure of aircraft, and judicial remedies. Further, any person attempting to operate an aircraft after revocation or without a valid certificate is subject to criminal penalties of up to 3 years in prison and/or fines. (FAA 5/14/02)

IRAN
FDC 6/2762

Iranian civil aviation authorities have issued NOTAMs describing required procedures for entry into the Tehran FIR. Prior to flight, all U.S. operators must be familiar with applicable procedures for interception of civil aircraft and should check current Iranian NOTAMs for procedures for contacting appropriate defense radar stations. If unable to contact the defense radar stations as required under Iranian procedures, operators should notify Tehran ACC and request Tehran ACC to attempt contact on the operator's behalf. The operator should also continue to attempt contact with the defense radar station directly. Any U.S. operator planning a flight through Iranian airspace should file a flight plan well in advance and carefully adhere to that flight plan and/or all air traffic clearances while in Iranian airspace.

The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel warning for Iran advising, in part, that the U.S. government does not currently maintain diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that the Swiss government, acting through its Embassy in Tehran, serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Iran. Any U.S. operator making an unanticipated landing in Iran should contact the Swiss Embassy in Tehran for any needed assistance at telephone 98-21-871-52-23 or 98-21-871-52-24.

The United States NOTAM Office disclaims foreign NOTAM accuracy or completeness. (FAA/AIA-100 5/14/02)

MIDDLE EAST AND EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN
KFDC A0029/03

SPECIAL NOTICE.

a. U.S. and allied military units (Coalition military forces) may operate throughout the Middle East and the airspace above the Eastern Mediterranean sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian Gulf. The timely and accurate identification of civil aircraft in these areas is critical to avoid the inadvertent use of force against civil aircraft. Coalition military forces are prepared to exercise self-defense measures, as may be necessary, to ensure their safety in the event they are approached by unidentified aircraft (fixed-wing, or helicopter).

b. In addition, the territorial airspace of Iraq is closed to all non-coalition aircraft, except Central Command authorized medical, firefighting, rescue/recovery and humanitarian flights, until further notice. Aircraft entering this airspace do so at their own risk. Coalition forces are prepared to respond decisively to any hostile acts or indications of hostile intent. This notice is also provided to ensure the safety of coalition forces and their facilities. All aircraft or flight activities that are determined to be threats to coalition forces may be subject to interception, quarantine, disabling or destruction. This includes aircraft within Iraqi territorial airspace and ground-based assets and activities throughout Iraq without regard to registry.

c. The timely and accurate identification of civil aircraft operating within these affected areas is essential to preclude the inadvertent use of military force against civil aircraft.

1. To better enable U.S. military forces to identify civil aircraft, all civil aircraft flying within or entering the affected area shall continuously monitor one or both international emergency frequencies (VHF 121.5 Mhz and/or UHF 243.0 Mhz UHF).

2. When an aircraft carries a serviceable transponder, the pilot shall operate the transponder at all times during the flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is within or outside airspace where SSR is used for ATS purposes. All crews are reminded to continuously operate the SSR transponder in accordance with the ICAO provisions (PANS-ATM-Chapter 8, PANS-OPS, Vol 1, Part VII and ICAO Doc 7030 Chapter 8).

3. When an aircraft carries serviceable weather radar, the pilot shall operate it at all times during the flight within the affected area, regardless of weather conditions.

4. The pilot should ensure continuous display of aircraft exterior and cabin lighting and illumination of logo light, if possible.

d. Unidentified aircraft and/or those whose intentions are unclear to U.S. and Coalition military forces will be contacted using the English language on VHF 121.5 Mhz and/or UHF 243.0 Mhz and requested to identify themselves and to state their intentions. Such contacts may originate from military surface and/or airborne units. U.S. radio communications will use standard phraselogy and will specify the aircraft's flight information, as available, to include: heading, Flight Level or altitude, SSR code squawk, geographical coordinates, and ground speed, civil aircraft receiving advisory calls shall acknowledge the message on the frequency on which the message was received and provide the information requested.

e. In the event an aircraft remains unidentified and/or is deemed to pose a threat to U.S. military forces, an emergency situation exists. In this circumstance, the pilots must be prepared to exercise their emergency authority to deviate from the ATC clearance as required: comply with recommended heading and/or altitude changes provided by U.S. military forces; and notify the appropriate ATC facility of the deviation and the need for an amended clearance.

f. Civil aircraft transiting the affected area outside published ATS routes are more susceptible to the procedures published herein. All aircraft are requested to avoid, as much as practical, abrupt and unusual changes of heading and/or altitude which may be construed as inconsistent with normal civil aircraft flight patterns.

NOTE-
This information is provided to warn all operators that U.S. and allied military forces are exercising self-defense measures. The measures will be implemented in a manner that does not unduly interfere with the right of overflight in international airspace.
