The area of responsibility of Aerodrome Flight Information Service within the Roosevelt Aerodrome Traffic Zone (ATZ) comprises the ATZ established around the aerodrome as well as the maneuvering area. For lateral and vertical limits of the ATZ, see section TNCE AD 2.17.

A flight plan shall be submitted for any flight intended to be operated within Roosevelt Aerodrome Traffic Zone at least 30 minutes in advance of the Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) for VFR flights and 1 hour prior to the ETD for IFR flights. The flight plan shall be in accordance with ICAO Doc 4444, appendix 2 Flight Plan.

Two-way radio communication is required within the ATZ, exceptions to this requirement may be permitted with the approval of the appropriate authority.

The term ‘preferred runway’ indicates the runway that at the time is considered by the AFIS unit to be the most suitable for the aircraft performing take-off or landing. The preferred runway is selected considering among others the following: the surface wind, traffic circuits, local weather conditions and environmental restrictions. The pilot-in-command may use, traffic situation and prevailing circumstances permitting, other than the preferred runway after reporting this to the AFIS unit

An arriving aircraft shall report to the AFIS unit: Initial contact should be established 5 minutes prior to crossing the lateral or vertical limits of the ATZ. This is essential in cases where the FPL for operating within the ATZ is submitted in flight. Before landing the ‘runway free’ report shall be obtained from the AFIS unit. Instrument approach and holding procedures are in accordance with ICAO Document 8186 (PANS-OPS)
