purely administrative matters. AICs are divided by

subject and are issued in two series ( A and B ). AIC

Series A contains information affecting international

civil aviation and is given international distribution,

while AIC Series B contains information affecting

national aviation only and is given national

distribution.

Each AIC is numbered consecutively within each series

on a calendar year basis. The year, indicated by two

digits, i.e. a part of the serial number of the AIC, e.g.

AIC A 1/96; AIC B 1/96. A checklist of AIC currently

in force is issued at the end of each calendar year.

3.7 Checklists and summaries of NOTAM

A checklist of valid NOTAM is issued monthly via

AFS on the first of each month to all recipients of

MAURITIUS NOTAM. The Checklist is followed by a

printed Summary of NOTAM distributed by mail to all

recipients of the Integrated Aeronautical Information

Package. It contains a plain language ( in English)

presentation of the valid NOTAM and information

about the number of the latest issued AIP AMDT and

AIRAC AIP AMDT. The summary includes also full

details of all AIP SUP and AIC as well as the numbers

of the elements issued under the AIRAC that will

become effective or, if none, the NIL AIRAC

notification.

is 250 Rupees (or equivalent in other currencies) per

calendar year.

4. AIRAC System

4.1 In order to control and regulate the

operationally significant changes requiring

amendments to charts, route-manuals etc., such

changes, whenever possible will be issued on

predetermined dates according to the AIRAC

SYSTEM. This type of information will be published

as AIRAC AIP AMDT or an AIRAC AIP SUP. If an

AIRAC AMDT or SUP cannot be produced due to

lack of time, NOTAM clearly marked AIRAC will be

issued. Such NOTAM will immediately be followed by

an AMDT or SUP.

4.2 The table below indicates AIRAC effective

dates for the coming years. AIRAC information will be

issued so that the information will be received by the

user not later than 28 days, and for major changes not

later than 56 days, before the effective date. At AIRAC

effective date, a trigger NOTAM will be issued giving

a brief description of the contents, effective date and

reference number of the AIRAC AIP AMDT or

AIRAC AIP SUP that will become effective on that

date. Trigger NOTAM will remain in force as a

reminder in the PIB until the new checklist/summary is

issued.

5. Pre-flight information service

5.1 A pre-flight information service is available at

the AIS Office at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam

International Airport and covers the area with which

NOTAM is exchanged.

5.2 This service is also made available through

2. Area of responsibility

The search and rescue service is responsible for SAR

operations within the MAURITIUS FIR.

3. Types of service

Details of the rescue coordination centre (RCC) and

related rescue units are given below. In addition to

these units, various local organisation as well as

aeronautical, maritime, and public telecommunication

facilities are available for search and rescue missions

when required.

All aircraft earmarked for use are land-planes and,

apart from the helicopter, carry droppable survival

equipment consisting of inflatable life-rafts with

medical supplies, emergency rations and survival

radio. Aircraft and rescue vessels are able to

communicate with the RCC, when activated, 121.5

MHz, 2182, 5680, and 8100 kHz. Police vessels,

harbour tugs and the helicopter use other frequencies,

and messages are relayed to them via the RCC.

4. SAR agreements

An agreement has been concluded between the SAR

services of Mauritius and Australia concerning the

provision of SAR assistance. This agreement provides

for the overflight and landing of search and rescue

aircraft, for defraying the costs of stop-overs, and for

direct communications between the two SAR services

on all common search and rescue matters.

A similar agreement has been concluded with the SAR

services of France on the neighbouring island of

Reunion.

Request for the entry of aircraft, equipment and

personnel from other states to engage in SAR

operations should be transmitted to the RCC.

Instructions as to the control which will be exercised

on entry of such aircraft and personnel will be given by

the RCC.

5.9 Air-ground Communication

Failure 5.9.1 The air-ground communication failure

procedures specified in ICAO PANS-ATM

Doc 4444 shall be applied.

5.9.2 The ICAO Regional Supplementary

Procedures for AFI specify that the

applicable vertical separation minimum

between an aircraft experiencing a

communication failure in flight and any other

aircraft, where both aircraft are operating

within the Mauritius RVSM, shall be 2000ft,

unless an appropriate horizontal separation

minimum exists.

6. Strategic Lateral Offset Procedures

(SLOP)

6.1 SLOP, in compliance with ICAO Doc 4444

(PANS-ATM) provisions, will permit aircraft

to fly on a parallel track to the right of the

centre line relative to the direction of flight.

The use of SLOP does not affect application

of prescribed separation standards.

6.2 The application of Strategic Lateral Offset

Procedures is intended to reduce the risk of

collision due to a loss of planned vertical

separation.

6.3 SLOP is applicable between FL290 and

FL410 within the Mauritius Flight

Information Region.

6.4 Requirements for application of SLOP:

6.4.1 Offsets must only be applied by aircraft with

automatic offset tracking capability.

6.4.2 The offset must only be applied during the

enroute phase of flight.

6.4.3 The offset shall be established at a distance of

one or two nautical miles to the right of the

centre line relative to the direction of flight.

6.4.4 The offset must not exceed two nautical miles

right of centre line.

6.4.5 The decision to apply a strategic lateral offset

is the responsibility of the flight crew.

6.4.6 In airspace where the use of lateral offsets has

been authorized, pilots are not required to

inform Air Traffic Control (ATC) that an

offset is being applied.

6.4.7 Position reports must be based on the current

ATC clearance and not the exact coordinates

of the offset from track e.g. “Mauritius

Centre, Callsign…, position UTIVA 0800

flight level 290, estimate.... etc”.

6.4.8 The strategic lateral offset procedures have

also been designed to include offsets to

mitigate the effects of wake turbulence of

preceding aircraft. If wake turbulence needs

to be avoided, pilot must use one of the three

available options (centreline, 1 NM or 2NM

right offset). Pilots may contact other aircraft

on the air to air frequency, 123.45MHz, as

necessary, to coordinate the best wake

turbulence offset option. As noted above it is

not necessary to notify air traffic control of

approved offsets.

6.4.9 The offset must not be used in addition to

diversions or other tactical deviations, e.g.

weather deviation

guide lines and visual

docking/parking guidance system of

aircraft stands

Taxiing guidance signs at all intersections with TWY and RWY

and at all holding positions.

Nose wheel guidance lines at apron.

Nose-in guidance at aircraft stands.

a. Stand 1 – 5 and 41 - 48

Guidance on apron is by means of guidance lines and marshaller's

assistance.

b. Stand 7, 9 & 10

Guidance on apron is by means of guidance lines, AGNIS PAPA

and marshaller's assistance.

c. Stand 8 &16

No AGNIS PAPA – Guidance on apron marshaller’s assistance.

d. Stand 11 - 15

Advanced Visual Docking and Guidance System (A-VDGS)

The azimuth guidance indicator of this system shows the actual

position of the aircraft in relation to the centreline of the aircraft

stand and indicates the direction to steer for use by the pilots

occupying both the left and right seats. The azimuth guidance

provided is based on actual position of the aircraft and not based

on the pilot’s position.

The closing rate information is shown both symbolically and

numerically. A bar decreasing for the last fifteen (15) meters to the

designated Stop Position give the pilots an intuitive indication to

decelerate. Digital countdown of the distance-to-go is provided for

the last twenty (20) meters with a countdown in decimetres for the

last three (3) meters.

When the aircraft reaches its designated stop position, ‘STOP’ is

displayed.

A Slow Down warning message is displayed when the speed of the

approaching aircraft is found to exceed the configured maximum

speed.

The A-VDGS is capable of interlocking with the passenger loading

bridge to disable the start of docking, if the passenger loading

bridge is not in its parked position.

2. RWY and TWY markings and LGT RWY: Designation, THR, TDZ, centreline, edge, runway end as

appropriate, marked and lighted.

TWY: Centre line, holding positions at all TWY/RWY

intersections, marked and lighted.
