    AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION CIRCULAR 25/15

    GANDER FLIGHT INFORMATION REGION (FIR)/CONTROL


    AREA (CTA) AIRSPACE DESIGN CHANGES FOR
    REDUCED LATERAL SEPARATION MINIMUM IMPLEMENTATION
    This Aeronautical Information Circular provides additional information that supplements AIC 18/15 regarding
    the 25 nautical mile (NM) reduced lateral separation minimum (RLatSM) trial commencing on or after
    12 November 2015 in the Gander and Shanwick oceanic area control centre (OCA).

    Phased Approach to the Start of the Trial


    Effective 12 November 2015 at 0901Z, the Gander domestic CTA will be realigned to support RLatSM tracks
    within the North Atlantic organized track system (NAT OTS) at oceanic entry and exit points DORYY south to
    SUPRY. Effective 10 December 2015 at 0901Z, additional North American Routes (NARs) will be established,
    which will enable RLatSM tracks to be anchored at oceanic entry and exit points CUDDY north to KETLA.
    Because the additional NARs will be unavailable prior to 10 December 2015, until that date RLatSM tracks
    will exit the Gander OCA spaced by a full degree at the oceanic entry and exit points when occurring at
    CUDDY or north thereof.

    When NAT OTS tracks are over CUDDY or north, westbound NARs will be mandatory and published on the
    NAT OTS track message. These NARs are short leg NARs to ensure enough time for the radar controllers to
    transition flights from a non-radar environment to a radar environment.

    RLatSM tracks will not be established north of KETLA or south of SUPRY.

    RLatSM Oceanic Entry and Exit Points in the Gander FIR


    Effective 15 October 2015 at 0901Z, NAV CANADA will publish oceanic entry and exit points (see below)
    associated with RLatSM implementation. The publication of these fixes within this time frame allows for
    operators to add them to their databases in time for the RLatSM trial prior to the 12 November 2015
    commencement date. These fixes must not be filed between 15 October 2015 and 12 November 2015; as
    airspace boundaries with the Gander FIR will not be realigned until the start of the RLatSM trial.

    RLatSM Fixes Effective 15 October 2015 at 0901Z for use 12 November 2015 Onwards

    Oceanic Entry and (Phase 1 of 2) Oceanic Entry and (Phase 1 of 2)


    Exit Points Exit Points
    LIBOR 61° 58’ N 058° W MELDI 52° 44’ N 056° 21’ W
    NIFTY 60° 58’ N 058° W PELTU 52° 06’ N 055° 10’ W
    RADUN 59° 58’ N 058° W SAXAN 51° 29’ N 053° 51’ W

    VODOR
    Effective 10 December 2015 at 0901Z, oceanic entry and exit point VODOR will be removed from operational
    use and RAFIN will remain as the oceanic entry and exit point. Effective this date, pilots must send request
    clearance (RCL) messages based on RAFIN. All NARs will be revised to indicate RAFIN.

    RLatSM through the Gander Oceanic Transition Area (GOTA)


    Additional inland fixes will be published effective 15 October 2015 at 0901Z. These will be used strategically
    when the NAT OTS is located in the CUDDY and north area of GOTA. These fixes must be added to the
    operator’s database as they will be used for NAT OTS design. Effective 10 December 2015 at 0901Z, new
    short segment NARs will be designed to incorporate the organized track system (OTS) design using these
    new fixes below. For example, NARs will be designed that will specify AVUTI ALSOP or CUDDY DUVBI with
    operator preferred route filing available after that. When NAT OTS design uses the oceanic entry and exit
    points from CUDDY and north, operators must file the published short leg NARs associated with each
    published NAT OTS track. When the area from CUDDY and north is not associated with NAT OTS design,
    operators may file random preferred routes or one of the existing NARs.

    Additional Fixes for OTS/NAR Design, Effective 15 October 2015 at 0901Z


    MUSLO 60° 10’ N 062° W ALSOP 56° 52’ N 062° 10’ W
    SINGA 59° 13’ N 061° 05’ W DUVBI 56° 00’ N 061° W
    UDMAR 57° 35’ N 062° 55’ W

    Associated Fixes
    Effective 15 October 2015 at 0901Z, operators must follow the associated fixes for westbound route
    segments only, as it is an important factor to assist control staff to transition aircraft from a non- air traffic
    service (ATS) surveillance environment to an ATS surveillance environment. All eastbound flights need not
    follow the associated fix rules that are published in the Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual
    (TC AIM – TP 14371E).

    Electronic RCL Messages Through GOTA


    Pilots submitting an RCL must use an oceanic entry and exit points located within GOTA and not a boundary
    fix along the Montreal CTA boundary. Oceanic entry and exit points and details are available in the Gander
    Data Link Oceanic Clearance Delivery Crew Procedures document. Flight crews submitting an RCL based on
    Montreal CTA boundary (e.g. IKMAN, MIBNO) will cause system errors and may affect the ocean profile.

    North American Routes


    Multiple new NARs will be published both on 15 October 2015 and on 10 December 2015 that will utilize the
    new fixes. Operators and flight planners can receive these NARs from the undersigned.

    The use of NARs will be mandatory for eastbound flights operating BAREE TUDEP and south during
    eastbound OTS hours and for westbound flights operating over RAFIN, BOBTU, and JEBBY at all times with
    the exception of aircraft routing over M201, M202, and M203.

    As specified above, when NAT OTS design uses the oceanic entry and exit points from CUDDY and north,
    operators must file the published short leg NAR associated with each published NAT OTS track.

    FL 280 and below


    Because the lower vertical boundary of the GOTA is flight level (FL) 290, RLatSM associated oceanic entry
    and exit points located within the boundaries of the GOTA are not available for route planning for flights
    operating at FL 280 and below. Including the GOTA oceanic entry and exit points the following fixes are not to
    be filed by aircraft operating at FL 280 and below: AVPUT, CLAVY, EMBOK, KETLA, LIBOR, MAXAR,
    NIFTY, PIDSO, RADUN, SAVRY, TOXIT, URTAK, VESMI, AVUTI, BOKTO, CUDDY, and DORYY.

    Operators routinely operating at FL 280 and below should refer to the TC AIM, RAC 11 section for flight
    planning details.
