Study Notes
ADIZ Procedure
- All aircraft entering Tehran FIR must use published ATS routes at FL150 or above, unless specifically permitted to do otherwise.
- Aircraft must make point of FIR boundary estimate within ±5 minutes.
- Non-compliant aircraft are subject to interception.
- Aircraft must establish contact with air defense radar station on 127.800MHZ or 135.100MHZ at least 10 minutes prior to entering Tehran FIR for military identification and avoidance of interception.
- This is especially important for flights entering via Persian Gulf and Oman sea.
Radio Contact
- If Tehran ACC is notified of failure to establish radio contact, the only response is "ROGER".
- Controllers may relay position information to air defense radar, and flight data assistants may be asked to perform this duty.
Communication Guidelines
- All communications between controllers/flight data assistants and air defense officers should be carried out through the supervisor.
Formation Flights
- Formation flights are only accepted if item 9 of the flight plan indicates so.
- The exact number and types of aircraft involved must be included in items 9 and 18 of the flight plan.
- Formation flights are treated as a single aircraft with regard to service provided by Tehran ACC.
- Separation between aircraft in formation is the responsibility of the flight leader and pilots-in-command of other aircraft.
- Separation distances within formation flights are:
- 1 km (0.5 NM) laterally and longitudinally
- 30 m (100 ft) vertically from the flight leader
- In RVSM airspace, 1000 feet separation between formation and other RVSM-approved aircraft is applicable only if all participating aircraft in formation are individually RVSM-approved.
