First published December 1979 Second edition September 1980 Third edition December 1981 Fourth edition October 1984 Fifth edition June 1988 Sixth edition December 1993 Seventh edition December 1997 Eighth edition April 1999 Ninth edition September 2000 Edition 2005 September 2005 Edition 2008 August 2008 There is no objection to the reproduction of extracts of information contained in this Document if the source is acknowledged. NAT MNPS i Edition 2008 NORTH ATLANTIC MNPSA OPERATIONS MANUAL FOREWORD This Document is for guidance only. Regulatory material relating to North Atlantic aircraft operations is contained in relevant ICAO Annexes, PANS/ATM (Doc.4444), Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc.7030), State AIPs and current NOTAMs, which should be read in conjunction with the material contained in this Document. The NAT MNPS – Edition 2008 is an updated version of Guidance Material first published in 1979 and is primarily for the information of pilots and dispatchers planning and conducting operations in North Atlantic (NAT) Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) Airspace. The Manual has been produced with the approval and on behalf of the North Atlantic Systems Planning Group (NAT SPG); a North Atlantic regional planning body established under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). This Group is responsible for developing the required operational procedures; specifying the necessary services and facilities and; defining the aircraft and operator approval standards employed in the NAT Region. Edited by European and North Atlantic Office of ICAO 3 bis, Villa Emile Bergerat 92522 Neuilly-sur-Seine Cedex – France Tel: +33 1 4641 8585 Fax : +33 1 4641 8500 Email: icaoeurnat@paris.icao.int http://www.paris.icao.int/ This Document will be made available to users from a number of web sites including the NAT Programme Co-ordination Office (PCO) web site: http://www.nat-pco.org/ . The PCO web site will also include, any errata (changes) or addenda (additions) to the current edition of the Manual. The Manual will be reissued on a yearly basis in August. Details of additional Internet access will be promulgated through the Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) of NAT ATS Provider States. Further material, for the information of States of Registry and Aircraft Operating Agencies, dealing primarily with planning and management aspects of NAT MNPS operations, is contained in ICAO ‘Consolidated Guidance and Information Material concerning Air Navigation in the North Atlantic Region’ (NAT Doc 001), published by the European and North Atlantic Office of ICAO and available at http://www.nat-pco.org/. To assist with the editing of this Manual and to ensure the currency and accuracy of future editions it would be appreciated if readers would submit their comments/suggestions for possible amendments/additions, to the ICAO EUR/NAT Office at the above Email address. The NATSPG has also commissioned the UK National Air Traffic Services to produce an interactive DVD ROM, “On the Right Track”, which contains general information on Air Traffic Control in the North Atlantic Region and which highlights many of the common operational errors and discusses their causes. This DVD ROM, like this Manual, is aimed at pilots, dispatchers and others concerned in operations on the North Atlantic. It is available at no charge to bona fide operators on application to: customerhelp@nats.co.uk. NAT MNPS ii Edition 2008 NORTH ATLANTIC MNPSA OPERATIONS MANUAL As part of the continuing development within the operating environment of NAT MNPS Airspace, various trials take place in the NAT from time to time. Some of these trials require the assistance of operators and pilots. For a listing of current trials (if any) and participation details etc., reference should be made to the AIS documentation of NAT ATS Provider States. Details may also be found on the above-mentioned PCO web site. NORTH ATLANTIC MINIMUM NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS AIRSPACE The vertical dimension of MNPS Airspace is between FL285 and FL420 (i.e. in terms of normally used cruising levels, from FL290 to FL410 inclusive). The lateral dimensions include the following Control Areas (CTAs): REYKJAVIK, SHANWICK, GANDER and SANTA MARIA OCEANIC plus the portion of NEW YORK OCEANIC which is North of 27°N but excluding the area which is west of 60°W & south of 38°30'N Some idea of these dimensions can be obtained from the maps in Chapters 2 and 3. However, for specific dimensions, reference should be made to ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc.7030) - NAT/RAC (available at http://www.nat-pco.org/). Pilots MUST NOT fly across the North Atlantic within MNPS Airspace, nor at flight levels 290 to 410 inclusive anywhere within the NAT Region, unless they are in possession of the appropriate Approval(s) issued by the State of Registry or the State of the Operator. The North Atlantic is the busiest oceanic airspace in the world. In 2007 approximately 425,000 flights crossed the North Atlantic. For the most part in the North Atlantic, Direct Controller Pilot Communications (DCPC) and Radar Surveillance are unavailable. Aircraft separation assurance and hence safety are nevertheless ensured by demanding the highest standards of horizontal and vertical navigation performance/accuracy and of operating discipline. Within NAT MNPS Airspace a formal Approval Process by the State of Registry of the aircraft or the State of the Operator ensures that aircraft meet defined MNPS Standards and that appropriate crew procedures and training have been adopted. NAT MNPS iii Edition 2008 NORTH ATLANTIC MNPSA OPERATIONS MANUAL AMENDMENTS TO THE NAT MNPS MANUAL Changes from Edition 2005 (September 2005) incorporated in Edition 2008 – (August 2008) • the implementation of new and revised route structures and air space management within and adjacent to NAT MNPS airspace; • the continued development and implementation of Datalink and SATCOM Voice for ATS communications in the Region; • changes and additions to “Single LRNS Routes” in the NAT MNPSA. • the implementation of minor but significant changes to oceanic clearance request and readback procedures; • the need for a re-emphasis of the requirement for adherence to Assigned Mach; • the need to reference the current development of the Performance Based Navigation philosophy; • the recognised need to clarify and re-emphasise some of the detailed NAT MNPSA navigation procedures; • the implementation of common worldwide oceanic in-flight contingency and lateral offset procedures promulgated in ICAO Doc.4444-PANS ATM; • the development and publication of the “Oceanic Errors Safety Bulletin (OESB)” and a recommended Example Check List to be used by crews flying through the NAT MNPSA; • an expressed user requirement for a consolidation of guidance relating to Flight Planning through the NAT MNPSA (one-stop-shopping).
