In pursuance of para. 4.1 of ICAO Annex 2, the following provisions have been established within Dutch Caribbean territory:

Within a control zone, the appropriate ATS unit can permit special VFR flights to be conducted so that the aircraft is flown with a flight visibility of not less than 1.5 km, clear of clouds and in sight of ground or water

Helicopters may operate, as special VFR flights, with a flight visibility of not less than 0.8 km, clear of clouds and in sight of ground or water if manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstructions in time to avoid collision.

Gliders may operate under instrument meteorological conditions within the specified airspaces provided that clearance is obtained from the appropriate ATS unit and the conditions specified in Civil Air Navigation Regulations are followed.

 

4.4 Minimum heights

In addition to para. 4.4 of ICAO Annex 2, the Rules of the Air contain the following provision:

Flying under bridges and under overhead lines or similar installations is prohibited unless specially authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration.

REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES ( ICAO Doc 7030)

The supplementary procedures in force are given in their entirety; differences are shown in bold.

 

1) Visual flight rules (VFR) ( ICAO Annex 2, paras. 4.7 and 4.8 refer):

VFR flights to be operated within a control zone established at an aerodrome serving international flights and in specified portions of the associated terminal control area shall:

a) have two-way radio communications;

b) obtain permission from the appropriate air traffic control unit; and

c) report positions, as required.

 

Note.- The phrase "specified portions of the associated terminal control area" is intended to signify at least those portions of the TMA used by international IFR flights in association with approach, holding, departure and noise abatement procedures.

 

2) Special application of instrument flight rules:

Flights shall be conducted in accordance with the instrument flight rules (even when not operating in instrument meteorological conditions) when operated

more than 90 km seaward from the shoreline. Exemption for Coastguard and Military flights due to their specific tasking and mission (e.g. SAR, SAM or General Law Enforcement).

 

3) Air traffic advisory service (PANS-ATM, Chapter 4

All IFR flights shall comply with the procedures for air traffic advisory service when operating in advisory airspace

 

4) Adherence to flight plan ( ICAO Annex 2, para. 3.6.2):

 If an aircraft has inadvertently deviated from the route specified in its ATC clearance, it shall forthwith take action to regain such route within ONE HUNDRED (100) nautical miles from the position at which the deviation was observed.
