1 GENERAL

1.1 Requirements for Flight Plans

1.1.1 CAR Part 91 specifies the requirements relating to the submission,contents, adherence to, cancellation, and termination of flight plans.

1.2 IFR Flight Plans

1.2.1 The pilot of an aircraft must:

(a) submit a flight plan prior to any flight under IFR;

(b) submit the flight plan at least 30 minutes prior to the beginning ofthe flight, and not more than 24 hours before EOBT;

(c) advise the appropriate ATS unit as soon as possible of any delayexceeding 30 minutes in beginning the flight or departing from anyaerodrome of intended landing; and

(d) terminate the flight plan on completion of any flight at anyaerodrome without ATS.

1.3 VFR Flight Plans

1.3.1 The pilot of an aircraft must submit a VFR flight plan prior to thestart of any flight conducted under VFR if:

(a) it is planned for the aircraft to proceed more than 50 NM fromshore; or

(b) an alerting service is required.

1.3.2 In addition to 1.3.1, a VFR flight plan may be submitted for anyother flight conducted under VFR.

1.3.3 For VFR flights proceeding into the Auckland Oceanic FIR the ICAOflight plan format must be used.

1.3.4 The pilot of an aircraft for which a VFR flight plan has beensubmitted must:

(a) inform an appropriate ATS unit of any change to the details in theflight plan and of any change to the flight plan SARTIME before theexpiry of that SARTIME; and

(b) terminate the flight plan by advising an appropriate ATS unit beforethe flight plan SARTIME.

1.3.5 Only one VFR flight plan can be submitted or be active at any onetime for a particular aircraft. A new flight plan cannot be submitted untilthe previous flight plan has been cancelled or terminated.

Effective: 15 NOV 12

E Civil Aviation Authority

1.3.6 When filing a VFR flight plan with the National Briefing Office, if theparticular aircraft does not already have a pre-allocated SSR code, an SSRcode will be allocated to that aircraft for this particular flight. This code willbe advised:

(a) If filing via IFIS — in the receipt message of a successful flight planrequest;

(b) If filing via phone — by the flight briefing officer;

(c) If filing via FAX — by inclusion in the acknowledgement message.

1.4 Change of Flight Rules IFR to VFR Flight Plans

1.4.1 These flight plans should only be filed when:

(a) The destination aerodrome is within the local area adjacent to anaerodrome or navigation aid at which an instrument approach isnecessary for the establishment of visual reference in order toproceed to the destination, e.g. NZPM VFR NZFI, NZCH VFR NZBW;or

(b) The pilot intends to establish visual reference at an en-routeposition then proceed VFR to destination where that destinationdoes not have an instrument approach available to that aircraft,e.g. H240 WEBER VFR NZYP.

1.4.2 These flight plans should not be used for flights where thedestination aerodrome is beyond the local area adjacent to an aerodromeor navigation aid at which an instrument approach can be flown. In thiscase separate IFR and VFR flight plans should be filed.

1.5 Cancelling IFR and Proceeding VFR

1.5.1 Pilots may change from IFR to VFR flight at a pre-planned point, ormay change from IFR to VFR flight by the pilot initiating a messagecontaining the specific expression “CANCELLING IFR FLIGHT”, together withany changes to be made to the flight plan being followed.

1.5.2 Except as indicated below, this is not a termination of a flight planbut a change of flight rules.

1.5.3 When IFR flight is cancelled en-route, the pilot may be requested toprovide a SARTIME for the remaining VFR portion of the flight. In this caseATS will terminate the original flight plan and create a VFR flight plan. Aflight information service will be provided by broadcast and/or request, andan alerting service will be provided. The pilot will be responsible foramending or terminating the VFR flight plan prior to the nominatedSARTIME.

1.5.4 When IFR flight is cancelled prior to departure, the IFR flight planwill be cancelled by ATS. Where required a new flight plan must besubmitted for any subsequent flight.

1.6 Changes of Flight Rules VFR to IFR Flight Plans

1.6.1 For SAR purposes, ATS will treat these flight plans as an IFR flightplan. An alerting service will be provided based on the EOBT of the flight.Pilots must notify ATS of any delay exceeding 30 minutes in beginning theflight. Pilots must make a departure report to ATS as soon as practicableafter take-off, indicating that they are on a flight plan and providing an ETAfor the point at which a change of flight rules is planned.

1.7 Content and Instructions for Completion of Flight Plans

1.7.1 A description of the content, and detailed instructions for completionof, both IFR and VFR flight plans are shown in tables ENR 1.10-1 and ENR1.10-2. This is also provided on the Airways Internet Flight InformationService (IFIS) website (www.ifis.airways.co.nz).

1.8 Advice to ATS of Number of Persons on Board

1.8.1 For all operations at aerodromes where an ATS unit is in operation,the pilots of radio equipped aircraft should pass POB as follows:

(a) Departing aircraft: prior to taxiing onto the manoeuvring area.

(b) Arriving aircraft: on establishing RTF communication withaerodrome control or AFIS.

1.8.2 Pilots of aircraft departing from aerodromes where an ATS unit isnot operating should pass POB information to the first ATS unit theycontact.

2 PROCEDURES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF A FLIGHT PLAN

2.1 General

2.1.1 All flight plans should be submitted to the National Briefing Officeusing IFIS, telephone or fax. During hours of watch and subject toworkload, local IFR and VFR flight plans that affect one ATC unit only maybe filed direct with that unit.

2.1.2 If necessary, a flight plan may be submitted during flight by RTFwith the ATS unit serving the airspace within which the aircraft is beingflown.

2.1.3 Flight plans for aircraft that are not radio equipped (NORDO) andthat are to operate within controlled airspace must be filed in person or bytelephone.

2.1.4 Pilots intending to operate IFR into unattended aerodromes,including attended aerodromes outside of ATS hours, must indicate in item18 (OTHER INFO) of the ICAO flight plan a contact number (and the nameof a person if necessary) that ATS can use to contact the pilot.

Effective: 15 NOV 12

ENR 1.10 - 4 AIP New Zealand

E Civil Aviation Authority

2.1.5 A flight plan submitted by fax is not accepted by ATS untilacceptance is confirmed by return fax. This is to guard against receipt ofunreadable faxes. All flight plans submitted by fax must include anoriginator’s fax number. If no return acknowledgement is received withinfive minutes of submitting the plan by fax, the pilot must ring the NationalBriefing Office to confirm that the plan has been received and is acceptableto ATS.

2.1.6 Where an airline has an operations section or utilises the facilities ofanother airline’s operations section, company operations officers maysubmit flight plans. This does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility ofensuring that the flight plan submitted accurately conveys the details ofthe intended flight.

2.1.7 IFR flight plans submitted prior to take-off, including flight plandetails for local IFR training flights, must be submitted at least 30 minutesprior to departure.

2.1.8 IFR flight plans submitted during flight should, as far as practicable,be transmitted to the appropriate ATS unit at least 10 minutes flying timebefore reaching the point of entry into controlled airspace or 20 minutes ifonward transmission of the flight plan to other ATS units is required.

2.1.9 The ATS unit receiving a flight plan, or change to a flight plan, will:

(a) check it for compliance with the format and data conventions;

(b) check it for completeness and, to the extent possible, for accuracy;

(c) take action, if necessary, to make it acceptable to the air trafficservices; and

(d) indicate acceptance of the flight plan, or change to the flight plan,to the originator.

2.2 Submitting an IFR Flight Plan

2.2.1 Except where operators use repetitive flight plans, an IFR flight plan(including flight rules Y [IFR then VFR] and Z [VFR then IFR]) must besubmitted on the ICAO flight plan form (AC 1565), or a computergenerated copy of this form.

2.2.2 Where multi-leg flights intend to carry out approach and departureprocedures at one or more aerodromes en-route, each approach procedureis considered as a landing for the purposes of flight planning. A separateflight plan must be submitted for each leg of the flight.

2.2.3 Some ATS units require verbal pre-coordination of instrumenttraining operations. Details are provided in ENR 1.9.

2.2.4 Pre-filed IFR flight plans will only be available to operatorsundertaking emergency flights in accordance with a prior writtenagreement with the Manager, Support Sector, Christchurch ATSC.

2.2.5 Pre-filed IFR flight plans can only be activated by contacting theNational Briefing Office on Tel 0800 626 756 (landline users only) or(03) 358 1509 (cellphone users).

2.3 Nominating a VFR Flight Plan SARTIME

2.3.1 The time (in hours and minutes) entered in the SARTIME field of theVFR flight plan is the time that search and rescue action will commence ifthe flight plan is not terminated. When determining SARTIME, pilots shouldallow sufficient time, if required, to get to a telephone or Internet terminalto terminate the flight plan.

2.3.2 Pilots on multi-leg flights may nominate a SARTIME relative to thefirst destination, but must then amend the SARTIME after each landing ortake-off prior to SARTIME.

2.3.3 Pilots wishing to have a SARTIME covering the departure from anunattended or remote aerodrome/heliport, should nominate a SARTIMEwhich would allow them to reach an altitude or position at which a revisedSARTIME could be nominated.

2.3.4 Amending an ETA does not constitute a change of SARTIME. Aspecific request must be made to “AMEND SARTIME”, and any amendmentmust always be made before the existing SARTIME expires.

2.4 Identification of Operating Area

2.4.1 Pilots of aircraft intending to carry out aerial photography, aerialsurvey, aerial inspection, or aerial search operations may identify theirintended area of operations by grid reference using NZMS 260 sheet index.The area is identified using the NZMS 260 sheet number, followed by theletter identifying the quadrant(s) within the sheet cover, i.e.

2.4.2 This information should be included in the other information field ofthe VFR flight plan, e.g. “aerial photography area V15D”, or item 18 of theICAO flight plan, e.g. STS/PHOT area V15D.

3 REPETITIVE FLIGHT PLAN SYSTEM
