  4. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations

  5. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations FAR 14 CFR Subpart H, beginning with 91.701 governs the flight and international operations for N registered aircraft and persons on board.

  6. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -91.703 Operations of civil aircraft of U.S. registry outside of the United States. Basically, it specifically states that the operations SHALL be conducted in compliance with the ICAO Annex 2, Rules of the Air. ICAO being the International Civil Aviation Convention.

  7. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -Flight between Mexico, Canada, Bahamas and the United States is relatively simple as long as you plan properly and file the appropriate flight plan (according to ICAO). FAR 91.707. In today’s environment, the DHS Customs and Border Protection manifest and approval requirements MUST also be met to enter and exit the U.S. on any private or business flight. • -Flights to Cuba are specifically prohibited, unless you have prior specific U.S. Treasury approval and/or meet one or more of the embargo exemptions. Cuba is still an embargoed country, controlled by OFAC/Treasury.

  8. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -FAR/AIM Section 5, 5-1-9, International Flight Plan provides all the specific to the use of and requirements for international flight planning. FAA Form 7233-4 is the required international flight plan form for IFR flights departing the U.S. As stated in the regulations, its mandatory. Section 5-1-11 covers flights outside the U.S. and U.S. territories • -FAR/AIM Section 6, 5-6-1, National Security and Interception Procedures provides the guidance required for flight plan filings, ADIZ crossings, other National Security requirements.

  9. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -Make sure the aircraft radio and transponder are working as these are mandatory, unless otherwise authorized by ATC. • -Know the Intercept Procedures, 5-6-2. Obtain a copy of the intercept procedures diagram and carry it with you at all times while outside the U.S. Its really a good idea to also carry it while in the U.S. If intercepted, the transponder squawk code is 7700, unless otherwise told by ATC or the intercepting aircraft. Know the intercept signals.

  10. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -ADIZ Boundaries are in the FAR/AIM, 5-6-5. Review them prior to any international flight. Strangely enough there is no ADIZ at our northern border with Canada. However, Canada is still a foreign country, requires the CBP approvals and flight planning requirements. • -ICAO Annex’s can be found at this link: http://www.icao.int/icaonet/anx/info/annexes_booklet_en.pdf • -FAA Forms 7233-4 and 7233-1 flight plan forms can be found in the FAR/AIM 5-1-9 of Section 5.

  11. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • Always carry current charts. Even if you have a international data base for a GPS, it’s a small price to pay for the added safety and security.

  12. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations -FAA AC 91-70A link:http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/319229 This AC was last up-dated August 2010 and applies to all aircraft operations over water internationally. It contains very useful information. Remember AC’s are one means, but not the only means of FAA regulatory compliance.

  13. Tampa FAASTeam • -91-70A - Oceanic and International Operations • Description • This advisory circular (AC) contains general information and guidance for operators planning oceanic flights, including authorizations needed for operations outside the continental United States. This includes Special Areas of Operation (SAO) such as North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (NAT/MNPS), Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM), Area Navigation (RNAV), and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) airspace. • a. Initiatives. • In all geographic regions, the evolution of communication, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) is the catalyst for initiatives such as data link, RNP, RNAV, Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS), and RVSM. • b. Critical Areas and Procedures. • The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identifies critical areas and procedures such as Strategic Lateral Offset Procedures (SLOP). c. Revisions. • The dynamics of oceanic operations are such that they are constantly evolving and it is incumbent on the operators to closely monitor any changes. The FAA revised this AC to point the reader to the most current sources of international material. In many cases, the references are to a Web site. The material, however, is still found at www.faa.gov or by calling an FAA navigation specialist. This AC includes specific guidance for authorizations and other FAA policy issues. A detailed study of the FAA Web site is the best source for introduction information about oceanic, international, and remote operations.

  14. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -Have at least a general knowledge and understanding of the country aviation regulations you will be visiting. ICAO home site has a link to all participating countries who are ICAO members and with a few exceptions the regulations are in English. • Know the Customs and Immigration requirements of the destination country you may be visiting. And, absolutely know the U.S. requirements for getting back into the U.S. on the return home flight. Know what you can enter, be careful with even prescription drugs/medications, electronic equipment and cameras. • Review the CBP, Know Before You Go booklet on the CBP.gov web site. This is over and above the manifest notification and approval requirements. Gifts, excessive amounts of money, purchased new items/merchandise must be declared.

  15. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -Carry appropriate safety gear, items that ICAO requires, life vests and rafts. While there may not be FAA requirements for this gear, there is an ICAO and destination country requirements. • -The FAA works very closely with the civil aviation authorities of Mexico, Canada and Bahamas on N registered aircraft flights. The authorities of each country are:

  16. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • Bahamas--Civil Aviation authority • Canada--Transport Canada • Mexico--DGAC/Directorate General Aeronautical Civil Authority

  17. Tampa FAASTeam International Flight Planning And Operations • -Be wary of over-flight permit requirements and fees. • -Pilot and aircraft documents and certificates must all be originals. Do not attempt to leave the U.S. or enter any foreign country with any aircraft pink temporary registration copy. Do not make copies of all pilot/medical certificates and put originals in safe place, taking only copies. Your original documents required by the FAR’s must be carried. • -Remember to make sure aircraft insurance coverage is applicable for the destination countries.

  35. Tampa FAASTeam What is the FAA policy for carrying current charts? The term "charts" is not found in the FAA's Part 91 regulations (other than for large and turbine-powered multiengine airplanes in 91.503[a]). The specific FAA regulation, FAR 91.103 "Preflight Actions," states that each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. What is not specifically addressed in the regulation is a requirement for charts. You should always carry a current chart for safety's sake. An expired chart will not show new frequencies or newly constructed obstructions, some of which could be tall enough to be a hazard along your route of flight.

  36. Tampa FAASTeam What is the FAA policy for carrying current charts? • Title 14 CFR section 91.503[a] (Large and Turbojet powered aircraft) • Title 14 CFR section 135.83 (Air Carriers-Little Airplane) • Title 14 CFR section 121.549 (Air Carrier-Big Airplanes) The FAA has rendered interpretations that have stated the foregoing. The subject of current charts was thoroughly covered in an article in the FAA's July/August 1997 issue of FAA Aviation News. That article was cleared through the FAA's Chief Counsel's office. In that article the FAA stated the following:

  37. Tampa FAASTeam What is the FAA policy for carrying current charts? • "You can carry old charts in your aircraft." "It is not FAA policy to violate anyone for having outdated charts in the aircraft." • "Not all pilots are required to carry a chart." "91.503..requires the pilot in command of large and multiengine airplanes to have charts." "Other operating sections of the FAR such as Part 121 and Part 135 operations have similar requirements."

  38. Tampa FAASTeam What is the FAA policy for carrying current charts? • ..."since some pilots thought they could be violated for having outdated or no charts on board during a flight, we need to clarify an important issue. As we have said, it is NOT FAA policy to initiate enforcement action against a pilot for having an old chart on board or no chart on board." That's because there is no regulation on the issue. • ..."the issue of current chart data bases in handheld GPS receivers is a non-issue because the units are neither approved by the FAA or required for flight, nor do panel-mounted VFR-only GPS receivers have to have a current data base because, like handheld GPS receivers, the pilot is responsible for pilotage under VFR. • "If a pilot is involved in an enforcement investigation and there is evidence that the use of an out-of-date chart, no chart, or an out-of-date database contributed to the condition that brought on the enforcement investigation, then that information could be used in any enforcement action that might be taken."
