Extending Slot Coordination • 21 July – 15 August 2012, inclusive – No IFR arrivals or departures without pre-booked slot • Implemented by Airport Coordination Limited (ACL) within EU and UK rules • Covers 40 airports with potential to impact on South East controlled airspace • Linked to acceptance of flight plans ACL
How the System Works • Review slot availability of the airport on line at www.online-coordination.com • Contact the Airport/Handling Agent as appropriate (to allow for parking and handling availability) • Airport uses www.online-coordination.com website to obtain slots • All slots booked through ACL online-coordination.com System are on/off block times not airborne/landing times • For General and Business Aviation the Airport receive back a unique slot ID for use with confirmed slots, the slot ID is entered by the operator in field 18 of the flight plan, with the prefix of RMK/ASL: i.e. RMK/ASLGBXXAPVT554300 • The addition of an appropriate contact telephone number in field 18 is imperative to allow for possible resolution of discrepancies highlighted • Submitting a flight plan without a valid slot ID will ultimately result in the flight plan being suspended on the day or a possible heavy fine up to £20,000 • Applies to everyone, including “state” flights, VVIPs • Late changes possible subject to availability – ACL will operate 24/7 during Olympic period • Permits for hire & reward flights will only be issued by the DfT on evidence of slots being booked – application forms download from www.dft.gov.uk/topics/aviation-permits ACL
Slot Coordination Will... • Protect scheduled and non-scheduled traffic from disruption due to congested airspace • Facilitate orderly and efficient use of available airport capacity • Work with and through the market • Encourage operators to book early ACL
General and Business • Aviation bookings – • As of Saturday the • 03rd of March 2012
