About Morocco | History - Geography

---

Morocco, mountainous country of western North Africa that lies directly across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.

The traditional domain of indigenous peoples now collectively known as Berbers (self-name Imazighen; singular, Amazigh), Morocco has been subject to extensive migration and has long been the location of urban communities that were originally settled by peoples from outside the region. Controlled by Carthage from an early date, the region was later the westernmost province of the Roman Empire. Following the Arab conquest of the late 7th century CE, the broader area of North Africa came to be known as the Maghrib (Arabic: “the West”), and the majority of its people accepted Islam. Subsequent Moroccan kingdoms enjoyed political influence that extended beyond the coastal regions, and in the 11th century the first native Amazigh dynasty of North Africa, the Almoravids, gained control of an empire stretching from Andalusian (southern) Spain to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Attempts by Europeans to establish permanent footholds in Morocco beginning in the late 15th century were largely repulsed, but the country later became the subject of Great Power politics in the 19th century. Morocco was made a French protectorate in 1912 but regained independence in 1956. Today it is the only monarchy in North Africa.

Information On Flights – Flight Plans

The expression flight plan is used to designate both complete information on all the elements forming the description of the flight plan covering the whole estimated route, and information in limited number to obtain a clearance concerning a part of flight.

Procedures For The Submission Of A Flight Plan

Information concerning a planned flight or part of a flight to be provided to air traffic bodies are communicated in a flight plan.

Obligation of submission of flight plan Submission of a flight plan is mandatory for all IFR and VFR flights performed within the airspace under the responsibility of Morocco, as it defined by the regional air navigation agreements of the ICAO.

Time Of Submission

When air traffic control service or air traffic advisory service is provided to a flight, the flight plan shall be submitted at least sixty (60) minutes before departure. If it is communicated during flight, it shall be transmitted at a time which will ensure to its receipt by the appropriate ATS unit at least ten (10) minutes before the aircraft is estimated to reach the first point from which the flight plan applies. Any change of more than 15 minutes compared to the estimated time of departure from the parking stand (EOBT) in the case of a controlled flight for which a flight plan has been filled, must be communicated to the IFPS system sending a DLA or CHG message or, if applicable, a new flight plan must be deposed and the old flight plan canceled.

The IFPS does not accept negative time limit: for any earlier change in EOBT, the flight plan must be canceled and a new flight plan is filled with the new EOBT.

The establishment and communication procedures for RPL and FPL are defined by AIC N° 05/12 of 06-SEP-2012.
