A2, 3.3.1.2 FPL submitted by air carriers operating scheduled services shall indicate, in Field 18 RMK, if this flight plan can be P-App 2, used for a specified number of flights or for a specified period, so that the data can be retained as a centre stored p. 18 flight plan by the appropriate ATS unit; it is stressed, however, that such internal usage by ATS units does not relieve operators of the requirement to file an individual FPL for each flight or make appropriate arrangements for the submission of an RPL listing. 2.4.2-1 Jeddah FIR has implemented a Flight Plan processing system that is fully automated and utilizes the ICAO Flight Plan format. All ACFT operators shall submit their Flight Plans in accordance with the ICAO format and at least 30 minutes prior to departure and / or entering the OEJD FIR failure to do so will result in manual processing of FPLS and concerned flights may encounter delays . Flight inbound to or over flying saudi airspace with no flight plan (FPL) are subject to be held at the boundary or denied access to the air space until (FPL) is received . All flights intending to operate in the Jeddah FIR (arriving, departing or transiting) where the aircraft is RVSM certified are required to insert the letter w in field 10 (Equipment) of the flight plan . All flights operating in KSA airspace, the registration of the aircraft is to be included in Field 18 (Other Information) of the flight plan preceded by REG/. Example, REG/XXXXX . As mandatory to accept the flight plan. Repetitive flight plans The RPL programme is designed to automate the processing of flight plan data for regularly-operated and scheduled service flights, thereby minimizing any possible flight handling delays. The use of RPL within the Kingdome is as follows: a) For domestic flights, as agreed between the operator and GACA . b) For international flights departing KSA Aerodromes, Only where there is agreement between the operator and the ATS Unit involved and the RPL data in paper or electronic format is provided together with a hardcopy back-up in ICAO FPL format . c) RPL is not used or considered for flights inbound or over-flying Saudi Arabian Airspace. Operatores electing to participate in the RPL programme must use the ICAO RPL listing form shown on ENR 1.11-3, except that air carriers operating scheduled services may, alternatively submit their listings using the following methods : 1) hard copy computer printout in the GACA authorized format; or 2) magnetic medium, provide that the format is compatible with that of GACA. Initial submission and subsequent seasonal resubmission of complete listings must be received, not less than three weeks prior to the date of the first flight in the series of operations to which they relate, by the Chief of ATC, King Abdulaziz International Airport, either: 1) P.O.

Users are cautioned that these minimum flight altitudes relate solely to the associated routes for which they are published and, therefore, terrain clearance must be separately assessed for all operations outside published routes. 2.12 Transition level
P-II, 12 The transition level (TL) has been determined by GACAas fixed at FL 150 for the whole of Jeddah FIR and is, P-III, 4.2 therefore, also the lowest usable flight level; it is not however, the lowest flight level above the transition altitude S-I, 9.1, 9.2 altitude because GACA requires a minimum of 1 000 FT vertical separation in the transition layer under the lowest known MSL pressure (see also ENR 1.7). As a result, ATS units neither determine, nor include in transmissions to aircraft, the TL or any information relating to calculating of the lowest usable flight level. 2.13 2.13.1 Separation Standards IFR The Separation Minima Prescibed in ICAO Doc 4444, ATM/501, Air Traffic Management Procedures for Air Navigation Services are fully applied .
2.13.2 Special VFR (SVFR) . P-III, 1.1 c) SVFR operations will not be authorized if IFR operations will be adversely affected, unless an emergency situation exists. P-IV, 1.1 a) Normally, separation between SVFR flights is not a consideration since only one SVFR flight at a time will be P-V, 15.1.2 authorized unless conditions permit the application of the reduced separation prescribed for operations conducted within an aerodrome traffic circuit, i.e. when all concerned aircraft are continuously visible to the controller. When there is a requirement to provide separation between SVFR FLIGHT and a CONTROLLED FLIGHT, this is accomplished either: 1) vertically, by applying an altitude restriction, above which the SVFR FLIGHT may not operate, to ensure a minimum of 1 000 FT below the CONTROLLED FLIGHT concerned (see also paragraph 2.9.2 above); or 2) geographically, using SVFR exit/entry routes which, when in force, will be promulgated for the appropriate CTR in ENR 1.5/AD 2.1.

VFR flight operations in Class B and C airspace
P-III, 1.1 d) In Class B airspace a VFR flight is regarded as a CONTROLLED FLIGHT and requires an ATC clearance which will provide it with IFR separation minima from both VFR and IFR flights. In Class C airspace a VFR flight is regarded as a CONTROLLED FLIGHT and requires an ATC clearance which will provide it with IFR separation minima from only IFR flights. Pilots intending to fly VFR in Class B or Class C airspace shall: a) obtain an ATC clearance prior to entering the Class B or Class C airspace concerned. b) be able to conduct the flight in accordance with procedures prescribed for use by IFR flights, except that when IFR weather conditions are encountered, the pilot of a VFR flight must avoid such weather conditions by either: 1) requesting an amended ATC clearance which will enable the aircraft to remain in VFR weather conditions; 2) requesting an IFR clearance if the pilot has a valid instrument rating & the aircraft is equipped for IFR flight. 3) requesting special VFR if within a control zone.

GEN 1.7-11 11 MAY 06
If unable to comply with the preceding, ensure that the aircraft remains in VFR weather conditions at all times. If in Class B airspace, leave it horizontally or by descending to at least 2 500 FT AGL. If in Class C airspace, leave it horizontally or land at a suitable aerodrome in the control zone. In both cases, inform ATC as soon as possible of the action taken. 2.13.4 P-III, 9 Reduced separation There are, at present, no reduced enroute separations applied in accordance with these criteria in Jeddah FIR; however, see Holding Approach and Departure Procedures ( ENR 1.5 ) for simultaneous parallel ILS approach separation reduction. Flight information service Saudi Arabian ATS units do not routinely have available any information relating to surface vessels.
2.14 A11, 4.2
P-VI, 1.2.1 The continued provision of FIS to aircraft which have left Jeddah FIR is undertaken only when this service is specifically requested on the basis of inability to contact the appropriate ATS unit. 2.14.1 Traffic information broadcasts by aircraft (TIBA) operating in Class G airspace (uncontrolled airspace, no air traffic control provided by GACA) In Class G airspace (see ENR 1.4 ) where there is no ATS unit to provide the necessary flight information service (FIS) to aircraft, all aircraft must follow the traffic information broadcasts by aircraft (TIBA) procedures and broadcast relevant collision avoidance information to each other. The TIBA procedures are as follows: ALL PILOTS MUST USE THE PUBLISHED TIBA FREQUENCY AND SHALL: 1) maintain a continuous listening watch and broadcast the aircraft's position and intended movements prior to manoeuvring the aircraft, as applicable; 2) broadcast acknowledgments of any TIBA messages received; 3) prior to departure maintain a listening watch for at least five (5) minutes and broadcast taxi movements prior to manoeuvring the aircraft; 4) broadcast the aircraft's position and intentions before crossing or entering a runway for take off and again before actually commencing the take off roll; 5) broadcast when the aircraft is airborne and when it leaves the traffic circuit and when it leaves the ATZ; and 6) broadcast any other message considered necessary in the interests of safety. ALL DRIVERS OF VEHICLES AUTHORIZED TO ENTER THE RUNWAY AREA MUST USE THE PUBLISHED TIBA FREQUENCY AND SHALL: 1) first check that the radio is serviceable and then maintain a continuous listening watch for at least five (5) minutes prior to moving on the ramp area and throughout the entire duration of the business being conducted;

2) broadcast the intended movements of the vehicle prior to actually moving the vehicle; 3) before going on any runway or taxiway, carefully scan the aerodrome and surrounding airspace for moving aircraft, then broadcast the vehicle's position on the manoeuvring area and where it is intended to go on the runway. If no objection is received from any aircraft, either inbound for landing or taxiing for take off, then, following another careful visual inspection of the runway and each of its final approach areas and if no aircraft are observed, proceed on the runway; 4) while the vehicle is on the runway, continuously monitor the TIBA frequency. If, when on the runway, a call is heard that an aircraft is inbound for landing or taxiing for take off, immediately broadcast that the vehicle is on the runway and then quickly leave the runway; 5) broadcast when the vehicle has left and is well clear of the runway; and 6) broadcast any other message considered necessary in the interests of safety. 2.15 P-VI, 1.4 Flight information service (FIS) Enroute aircraft when flying in Class G airspace and in radio contact with an air traffic services unit will receive flight information (FIS) on other aircraft known to be in their vicinity. At those aerodromes in Class G airspace having a control tower, aircraft when flying in the associated aerodrome traffic zone, will not be separated from each other by air traffic controllers but will receive only flight information services related to other known traffic and will receive only aerodrome control services when flying in the traffic circuit (i.e. within 5 NM of the aerodrome ARP) and while on the manoeuvring area of the aerodrome. At those aerodromes in Class G airspace having only an aerodrome flight information service unit (AFIS), aerodrome flight information services only will be provided to all known aircraft flying within the associated aerodrome traffic zone. 2.16 P-IX, 1.1 Communications procedures The communications procedures prescribed in ICAO Annex 10, Volume II, Chapter 5 are in force. The phraseologies employed by ATS conform to those in PANS-RAC; flight crews are expected to adhere to the procedures specified in these documents and their attention is also drawn to the ICAO Manual of Radiotelephony (Doc 9432), which contains examples of correct phraseologies. Radar in ATS The radar services and procedures applicable in Jeddah FIR are detailed in ENR 1.6 and are in compliance with PANS-RAC.

It consists of AIS Headquarters, International NOTAM Office (NOF) and AIS units established at certain aerodromes as listed under paragraph 5 below. 1.2 AIS Headquarters General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) Air Navigation Service Aeronautical Information Service department P.O. Box 929 Jeddah 21421 Saudi Arabia TEL: 966 2 640 5000 / 640 1100 Ext. 5517, 5562 & 5557 Telefax: 966 2 640 5622 / 689 0561 Telex: 601093 CIVAIR SJ AFS: OEJDYAYX 1.3 International NOTAM office (NOF) International NOTAM Office P.O. Box 929 Jeddah 21421 Saudi Arabia TEL: 966 2 640 5000 / 640 1100 Ext. 5515 and 2303 Telefax: 966 2 640 5622 / 689 0561 Telex: 601093 CIVAIR SJ AFS: OEJDYNYX and OEZZNAXX The service is provided in accordance with the provisions contained in ICAO Annex 15 Aeronautical Information Services. The Aeronautical Information Service is responsible for the collection and dissemination of information for the entire territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and for the airspace over the high seas encompassed by the JEDDAH Flight Information Region. 3. Aeronautical publications 3.1 The aeronautical information is provided in the form of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package consisting of the following elements: Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP); Amendment service to the AIP (AIP AMDT); Amendment service to the AIP (AIRAC 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 aerodrome AIS units. All other elements of the package 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. The AIP is published in a loose-leaf form in English and Arabic, separately and is for use in international and domestic operations, whether the flight is a commercial or a private one. The Arabic version is available on specific request.

3.3 Amendment service to the AIP (AIP AMDT) Amendments to the AIP are made by means of replacement sheets. Two types of AIP AMDT are produced: regular AIP Amendment (AIP AMDT), issued in accordance with the established regular interval (ref. GEN 0.1-2), identified with blue cover sheet and incorporates permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated publication date; and AIRAC AIP Amendment (AIRAC AIP AMDT), issued in accordance with the AIRAC system and identified by a pink cover sheet and the acronym AIRAC, incorporates operationally significant permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated AIRAC effective date.
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, Enroute - ENR and Aerodromes - AD) & are placed accordingly at the beginning of each AIP Part. Supplements are published on yellow paper to be conspicuous & to stand out from the rest of the AIP. Each AIP Supplement (regular or AIRAC) is allocated a serial number which is consecutive and based on the calendar year, i.e. AIP SUP 1/96; AIRAC AIP SUP 1/96. 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 monthly printed plain-language summary of NOTAM in force. 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 Jeddah FIR and are distributed in two series identified by the letters A and B. They are exchanged between Jeddah and other international NOTAM offices, as follows: Series A NOTAM - International distribution; and Series B NOTAM - National distribution only.
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 (regular AIP AMDT) or of the AIRAC effective date (AIRAC AIP AMDT) of the information. Each AIP amendment cover sheet includes references to the serial number of those elements, if any, of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package which have been incorporated in the AIP by the amendment and are consequently canceled. Each AIP AMDT and each AIRAC AIP AMDT are allocated separate serial numbers which are consecutive and based on the calendar year. The year, indicated by two digits, is a part of the serial number of the amendment, e.g. AIP AMDT 1/96; AIRAC AIP AMDT 1/96. 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)

Flight information and alerting service are provided by either: A. The relevant ATC unit, in addition to air traffic control service, for known aircraft operating within controlled airspace and at controlled aerodromes, or The aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) unit, where established, for other known aircraft.
Navigation Services - Rules of the Air and Air Traffic Services(Doc 4444, PANS-RAC). 5. Minimum flight altitude 5.1 The minimum flight altitudes on the ATS routes, as presented in section ENR 3, have been determined so as to ensure a minimum vertical clearance above the controlling obstacle in the area concerned. 5.2 The airspace considered for terrain clearance is increased by 1 NM and 1 DEG of splay angle on each side of track, i.e. for VOR, 6 NM and 6 DEG, to protect the outer edges of routes. Additionally, beyond each end of each segment, a semicircle radius 6 NM, centred on the significant points delineating the segment, is considered for continuity of protection with adjacent segments. 5.3 All terrain and objects within these limits are considered and the highest elevation in a particular segment determines the minimum flight altitude for the whole segment. These data are obtained from 1:500 000 scale aeronautical charts which give terrain heights accurate to within 100 FT and, therefore, all height values so obtained have been increased by 100 FT to compensate for any possible charting inaccuracies. 5.4 The full extent of the airspace described in 5.2 above is regarded as primary area (secondary area obstacle clearance criteria are not applied in this case) and, since all terrain in Saudi Arabia is regarded as mountainous for this purpose, 2 000 FT of vertical clearance is provided above the highest object within the airspace considered. 5.5 The relevant values are rounded up to the next 100 FT increment and promulgated in the ENR 3.1 tables pursuant to Annex 11, paragraph 2.17.
B.
3.1.2 With the exception of services provided at military aerodromes, the above services are provided at civil aerodromes where air traffic services units have been established, and elsewhere within the Jeddah FIR by Jeddah ACC, for other known aircraft. 3.2 In the airspace of the Jeddah FIR, Saudi Arabian territory, including territorial and adjacent international waters, air traffic control is exercised: a) in control areas, terminal control areas and control zones; b) along airways; and c) at controlled aerodromes. 3.3 Specific information applicable to AFIS controlled aerodromes is provided in ENR 1.1. and
3.4 Radar service is an integral part of the ATS system. Specific information applicable to individual TMAs is provided in ENR 1.5. A description of the basic radar services and procedures is provided in ENR 1.6. 4. Co-ordination between the operator and ATS Co-ordination between the operator and air traffic services is effected in accordance with 2.15 of ICAO Annex 11 and 2.1.1.4 and 2.1.1.5 of Part VIII of the Procedures for Air

This service consists partly of a continuous weather watch within the lower & upper FIR and the issuance of appropriate information (SIGMET) by Meteorological Watch Office & partly of the issuing of warnings for the respective aerodrome and, subject to agreement, for other aerodromes by all aeronautical MET offices. 8.2 Area meteorological watch service 8.2.1 The area meteorological watch service is performed by the following Meteorological Watch Office (MWO): JEDDAH/King Abdulaziz International (OEJN). 8.2.2 The MWO issues information in the form of SIGMET messages about the occurrence or expected occurrence of one or several of the following significant meteorological phenomena: thunderstorms1 severe turbulence severe icing severe mountain waves heavy sand storm/dust storm volcanic ash cloud tropical cyclone
8.3 Warning service 8.3.1 Warnings for the protection of parked and moored aircraft or of other equipment at the airport are issued by all aerodrome meteorological offices, if one or several of the following phenomena are expected to occur at the airport: squall2 thunderstorm hail frost3 heavy rime deposit heavy snow freezing precipitation
8.3.2 Differences from these criteria have to be agreed upon locally. 8.3.3 The warnings are generally issued in English and are distributed in accordance with a distribution list which has to be agreed upon locally. In order to guarantee rapid dissemination of the warnings, the distribution list to be used shall, as far as possible, contain only one recipient for an interested group; this recipient will be responsible for the further dissemination of the warning within the group. 8.3.4 SIGMET information is disseminated, in addition to directed transmissions to aircraft general calls, as an aeronautical or radio broadcast between 0700 (0600 during legal summer time) until SS + 30 a) b) by the Area Control Centre Jeddah for Jeddah FIR; by the ATS units for their own area of responsibility.
8.2.3 The SIGMETs are issued in abbreviations and plain language using ICAO abbreviations and are numbered consecutively for each day commencing at 0001. Their period of validity is generally limited to less than 4 hours from the time of transmission. 8.2.4 The MWO transmits SIGMETs issued by themselves, as well as SIGMETs of adjacent MWOs and, upon agreement, also SIGMETs of other MWOs, to the regional control centre competent for the FIR or UIR concerned. 8.2.5 In addition to the issuance of SIGMETs, the MWO will inform the regional control centres about the occurrence or expected occurrence of thunderstorms, moderate icing, light to moderate hail, or moderate turbulence within the FIRs concerned. The information is intended for the safety of low-level flights and is limited to the lower airspace.
The information is broadcast from the MWO concerned and repeated every half and full hour during the period of validity of the SIGMET information. 1. Area of widespread cumulonimbus clouds or cumulonimbus along a line (squall line) with little or no space between individual clouds, or cumulonimbus embedded in cloud layers or obscured by haze. The warning is designated as storm warning and will be issued when the mean speed of the surface wind is expected to exceed 34 kt (Beaufort Scale 8) or when gusts in excess of 41 kt (Beaufort Scale 9) are expected to occur. A frost warning will be issued when the air temperature is expected to fall below 0C on those dates when protective measures have generally not yet been taken and also when a substantial deposit of hoarfrost, e.g. on wing surfaces, is expected.
