About Cyprus | History - Geography

Cyprus, officially Republic of Cyprus, Uzbek Uzbekiston or Cyprus Respublikasi, country in Central Asia. It lies mainly between two major rivers, the Syr Darya (ancient Jaxartes River) to the northeast and the Amu Darya (ancient Oxus River) to the southwest, though they only partly form its boundaries. Cyprus is bordered by Kazakhstan to the northwest and north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east and southeast, Afghanistan to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southwest.

The autonomous republic of Qoraqalpoghiston (Karakalpakstan) is located in the western third of the country. The Soviet government established the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic as a constituent (union) republic of the U.S.S.R. in 1924. Cyprus declared its independence from the Soviet Union on August 31, 1991. The capital is Tashkent (Toshkent).

Flight Planning
Restriction, limitation Or Advisory Information

1. Submission of Flight Plan (SERA.4001)

A. Information relative to an intended flight or portion of a flight, to be provided to air traffic services units, shall be in the form of a flight plan. The term 'flight plan' is used to mean variously, full information on all items comprised in the flight plan description, covering the whole route of a flight, or limited information required, inter alia, when the purpose is to obtain a clearance for a minor portion of a flight such as to cross an airway, to take off from, or to land at a controlled aerodrome.

B. A flight plan shall be submitted prior to operating:

I. Any flight or portion thereof to be provided with air traffic control service.

II. Any IFR flight within advisory airspace.

III. Any flight within or into areas, or along routes designated by the competent authority, to facilitate the provision of flight information, alerting and search and rescue services.

IV. Any flight within or into areas or along routes designated by the competent authority, to facilitate coordination with appropriate military units or with air traffic services units in adjacent States in order to avoid the possible need for interception for the purpose of identification.

V. Any flight across international borders, unless otherwise prescribed by the States concerned.

C. A flight plan shall be submitted, before departure, to an air traffic services reporting office or, during flight, transmitted to the appropriate air traffic services unit or air-ground control radio station, unless arrangements have been made for submission of repetitive flight plans.

D. A flight plan for any flight planned to operate across international borders or to be provided with air traffic control service or air traffic advisory service shall be submitted at least sixty minutes before departure, or, if submitted during flight, at a time which will ensure its receipt by the appropriate air traffic services unit at least ten minutes before the aircraft is estimated to reach:

I. The intended point of entry into a control area or advisory area.

II. The point of crossing an airway or advisory route.

. FPL For Flights Requesting Air Traffic Control Service

i. Up to 120 hours but not less than 3 hours before the EOBT for IFR and mixed IFR/VFR flights (DOC 7030-EUR, Chapter 2, 2.3).

ii. At least 30 minutes before the EOBT for the flights which, are subject to ATFCM measures, for Replacement Flight Plans.

Adherence to Airspace Utilization Rules and Availability

No flight plans shall be filed via the airspace of Nicosia FIR/UIR (Nicosia ACC/UAC) deviating from the State restrictions defined within the Route Availability Document (RAD). This common European reference document contains all airspace utilisation rules and availability for Nicosia FIR/UIR or ACC/UAC or CTA/UTA.

IFR Flight Plan Place Of Submission

Except for RPLs, a flight plan shall be submitted prior to DEP either to the IFPS or to an ARO or during flight to an appropriate ATS unit. The IFPS is the responsible unit for accepting IFR/GAT flight plans, for flights conducted within the IFPS Zone. Unless a flight plan has been received and accepted by the IFPS (i.e an ACK message has been received) the requirement to submit a flight plan for an IFR/GAT flight intending to operate into the IFPS Zone will not have been satisfied and no ATC CLR will be issued for such a flight.

Aircraft Operators shall file their flight plans and associated messages for IFR/GAT flights directly with the IFPS whenever possible, or they can use the intermediate of a local ARO. The IFPS, will send back "Operational Reply Messages" to the message originator (Aircraft Operator or ARO), indicating the status of processing of this flight plan or associated message:

1) An acknowledge message (ACK) will indicate the successful processing of the message.

2) A reject message (REJ) will indicate that the submitted message could not be processed and that the message originator should file a new corrected message.

A manual message (MAN) means that the message contains errors and that it will be presented to an IFPS operator for manual processing. A MAN message will be followed either by an ACK message if the message has been corrected successfully by the IFPS operator, or by a REJ message, if the error(s) could not be solved.

Flight plans shall be sent directly from the operator to the IFPS, for addressing see ENR-1.11.

VFR Flight Plan Place Of Submission
1. International VFR Flights

VFR flights and night VFR flights are not subject to IFPS. Flight plans for such flights shall be submitted to the ARO of the departure aerodrome from 24 hours in advance of the EOBT, for addressing see ENR 1.11.

Note: Unless ATS receives an amended EOBT a VFR flight plan will be cancelled 30 min passed the EOBT in case of controlled flight (Class B and C airspaces) and 1 hour passed the EOBT in case of uncontrolled flight (Class G airspace).

2. Local VFR Flights

A local flight is a flight departing from, and landing at the same aerodrome and:

i. Operating within the CTR/ATZ.

ii. Operating as a training or test flight, in local practice areas outside, but adjacent to, the CTR/ATZ.

iii. Executing training instrument approaches at that aerodrome.

iv. Making directly flights between two local aerodromes.

It is the responsibility of the Training Schools Flight Instructors and the pilots of the light ACFT to be briefed with latest NOTAMs and meteorological conditions before the commencement of the flight.

Flight plans must be filed to the ARO by hand, fax, Email and in special cases by telephone but it remains to the jurisdiction of the ARO duty officer, whenever he/she considers it necessary, to call the pilot to present himself to the ARO Office for further clarifications.

Air Filed Flight Plans (AFIL)

A flight plan submitted during flight should normally be transmitted to the ATS unit in charge of the FIR or CTA in which the ACFT is flying, or through which the ACFT wishes to fly.

In case of an AFIL, the ATS unit receiving the flight plan will be responsible for addressing the flight plan message to all related air traffic services of the other countries involved in the event of overflying or destination.

An AFIL for a FLT to be provided with ATC service shall be submitted at a time which will ensure its receipt by the appropriate ATS unit at least 10 minutes before the ACFT is estimated to reach:

a. The intended point of entry into a CTA.

b. The point of crossing an airway.

c. If the flight plan submitted for the purpose of obtaining ATC service, the ACFT is required to wait for an ATC CLR prior to proceeding under the conditions requiring compliance with ATC procedures.
