IVAO Division Procedures

Brazilian Division Procedures

The Brazilian airspace have 5 (five) Flight Information Regions, where one of these is Oceanic FIR (SBAO - Atlantico FIR). In real life, this Oceanic FIR have the ATC Operation into Recife FIR (SBRE) building. The others FIR are: Curitiba FIR (SBCW), Brasilia FIR (SBBS), Recife FIR (SBRE) and Amazonica FIR (SBAZ).

All airspace is RVSM, we apply the east/odd-west/even system.

 

Portuguese Phraseology is basically used (for International Airports/TMA + Area Control Centers, the English is Provided).

 

UNICOM 122.80MHz (text mandatory); Voice (UNICOM) on br1.ts.ivao.aero.

 

1. Brazilian Aispace Classification

Class A - All airways of upper altitude and all CTA at FL150 or above.

 

Class C - Some TMAÕs, according Area Charts, and CTAÕs, according Enroute Charts.

 

Class D - Some low airways down to FL150 until minimum level of the airway, TMAÕs until FL145 and CTRÕs, according Area Charts and Enroute Charts.

 

Class E - Some TMAÕs, like Goiania TMA.

 

Class G - All remaining airspace. A clearance is not required for VFR flights within Class E airspace, however pilots are strongly advised to contact the appropriate ACC.

2. Transition Altitude / Transition Level

 

3. Squawk Codes

All traffics on Uncontrolled Airspace must be set squawk code 2000.

All VFR and IFR traffics on Controlled Airspace must be maintain 2000 allocated on SSR until other ATC information.

 

Emergency codes: 7500, 7600, 7700.

4. Aeronautical Charts

You can found the charts and other brazilian publications in AISWEB Website: http://www.aisweb.aer.mil.br/ on ŅCartasÓ menu.

In the same website, you can found all of publications about the Brazilian Aviation Rules.

5. Units of Measurements

The units of measurement used in all air-ground operations are in accordance with the ICAO Annex 5. Some of the magnitudes in common use are included in the following table:

6. FIRÕs Special Procedures

SBAO – Atl‰ntico FIR:

 

1.  Squawks: 2000, 7600 and 7700.

 

2. General procedures:

2.1. Contact the SBAO_CTR (non-RADAR ACC) 30 (thirty) minutes before ACC AO airspace to obtain the "Oceanic Clearance".

2.2. Atlantic Center is a RVSM airspace.

3. Phraseology to Oceanic Flights:

Attempt that, in those cases, the read back is made by the ACC controller and confirmed by pilot.

 

3.1. Authorization:

‐Atlantic Center, (CALL) for clearance, proceeding via (AWY), estimating (FIX) at (ETE) Zulu, maintaining flight level xxx, Mach x.xx, SELCAL code xxxx.

‐(CALL), Atlantic Center, you are cleared via (AWY), flight level xxx, Mach .xx. You must pass (FIX) between xxxx Zulu and xxxx Zulu.

‐Cleared flight level xxx, Mach .xx. (FIX) between xxxx Zulu and xxxx Zulu, (CALL).

 

3.2. Entering in the air space and others positions reports:

‐Atlantic Center, (CALL) for SELCAL check and position report.

‐(CALL), Atlantic, check your SELCAL.

‐(CALL), SELCAL checked. To position report.

‐Go ahead, (CALL).

‐(CALL) passing position (FIX1) at xx:xx Zulu, estimating (FIX2) at xx:xx Zulu, next (FIX3), flight level xxx, Mach x.xx, wind xxx degrees, xx knots.

‐(CALL), reset transponder, squawk 2000. Copied (FIX1) at xx:xx Zulu, (FIX2) at xx:xx, flight level xxx, Mach x.xx, wind xxx degrees with xx knots.

‐Readback is correct, (CALL) squawking 2000.

 

3.3. Resume:

All the Oceanic Phraseology has this structure:

"First contact, report your SELCAL. For position report, you need to say your callsign, fix you're passing and hour (ZULU), next fix and estimated hour (ZULU), a third fix, your flight level, your mach number, and the wind on your cruise flight level."

SBAZ – Amaz™nico FIR:

 

1. NOTAMÕs:

Aircrafts flying in Amaz™nica FIR class G airspace under visual flight rules (VFR) are allowed, if needed, to request ATS service from Amazonico Center and might have to follow flow regulation procedures. The aircrafts under VFR rules must not transmit AFIL flight plan to Amazonico Center and must send its flight plan before takeoff. The aircrafts flying in Amazonica FIR under instrument flight rules (IFR) must not fly in a class G airspace below FL100, except during departure and arrival procedures.

    SHALL WATCH THE FREQ OF THE CORRESPONDING SECTOR
    OF BRASILIA ACC;
3) VFR FLT IN TMA OR CTR IN BRASILIA FIR SHALL KEEP
  CONTACT WITH THE CORRESPONDING ATC UNIT - APP OR TWR.

(J0402/2008)

 

2. Special Procedures - S‹o Paulo TMA:

-       In this TMA for fixed wing visual flights we use a special chart to fly inside this area. This chart can be found on page 11 inside the AIC 22/07 (http://www.aisweb.aer.mil.br/aisweb_files/publicacoes/aic_n/aic_2007_n22.pdf). In this chart we have a map containing all the visual references that shall be reported to S‹o Paulo Approach when flying in these routes, the VFR flight out of these routes, except for procedures or when cleared by the approach is forbidden, a remark must be filled in field 18 of the FPL with the routes the pilot wants to use e.g.: RMK/REA JULIETT ECHO MIKE. As these references arenÕt present in MSFS2004 there is a custom scenery that can be downloaded in www.tmasaopaulo.com inside ŅDownloads/Cen‡riosÓ which contains some giant yellow cones placed in the visual reference position, the filename is ŅRefer�ncias Visuais TMA XPÓ and has no framerate impact in the simulator.

 

-       Still for S‹o Paulo TMA, helicopters have special routes like planes do, they can be found on the same www.tmasaopaulo.com page, but in the ŅDownloads/DocumentosÓ section and it is called ŅManual de Opera¨›es VFR sobre a TMA/CTR S‹o PauloÓ. On page 31 we have the visual helicopters flight chart and this shall be used when flying inside the CTR S‹o Paulo, the RMK/REH SP is mandatory and the pilot must say intentions to ATC when entering or exiting a route by saying routeÕs name to ATC. Most of the times the references are not present in MSFS2004 so the recommended scenery can be downloaded on the same section of the fixed wing aircraft scenery and its filename is ŅSAO 2005Ó.

3. Usual Squawk Codes:

 

 

* squawk 4001 to 4017 will be allocated to incoming traffics that have squawk 2000.

 

SBCW – Curitiba FIR:

3. SPECIAL PROCEDURES

 

REA CGR:

 

TMA:

Circular area with center in ray 2028.l3S/05440.28W and 40NM, with the limit between
FL045 and FLl45.

Airspace Class: D

 

General:

-All aircraft flyin over Campo Grande TMA according visual flight rules (VFR), bound for airfields of Campo Grande, Teruel and Santa Maria or them
coming, should compulsorily, use this REA.

-All aircraft flyin over this TMA may be establish bilateral contact with CG Approach control in freq. 119.10 MHz, to leave REA if the flow of traffic and weather conditions allow.

-All aircraft flyin within the REA, should maintain altimeter setting QNH provided by APP TWR.

 

 

SBRE – Recife FIR:

 

1. Center Controlled by only one ATC:

Callsign: SBRE_CTR

Frequency: 125.450 MHz

 

2. Center Controlled by only two ATC:

Callsign: SBRE_N_CTR (Sector North)

Frequency: 125.450 MHz

 

Callsign: SBRE_S_CTR (Sector South)

Frequency: 133.250 MHz

 

 

3. Operation in aerodromes:

With offline ATC:

Should be provided the service ATS - Authorization of traffic, pushback and start-up, taxi, takeoff and landing.

 

Observation: In case of heavy traffic with the ATC (above 20 aircraft), this may allow traffic as follows: pass a transponder, runway in use and send the traffic to the UNICOM (122.80 MHz), for ground coordination, requesting that it return to the frequency of the ACC after takeoff. In such cases, the aircraft on arrival to the airfield should be directed to the UNICOM when the end of the runway in use.

 

With online ATC:

 Aerodromes ATC Transfers to the Center

 

Center Transfer to Aerodromes ATC

 

Observation 1:  It is recalled here that an aircraft to be in an TMA, it must be below the upper limit and limits side of the terminal.

.

Observation 2: To be an aircraft under the jurisdiction of an AFIS it must be below the FL (flight level) 145 and within a radius of 27nm (twenty-seven miles) from the aerodrome

 

Observation 3: If the traffic is intense, or the ATC judge necessary, you can request that the aircraft through the repurchase FL (flight level) 1000ft (thousand feet) above the upper limit of Terminal / AFIS of destination or a waypoint (fixed), in order to avoid being forgotten by the Center.

6. Procedures with Atlantic FIR:

            Aircrafts that are going to enter Atlantic airspace must be transferred and coordinated before entering the FIR.
