Good day all,

A little advice please regarding the Westbound OTS and departure from Iceland.

If one was to depart Iceland, would it be possible to join track A for instance at FL340 and then follow track A all the way?. As I have always understood, you can't join or leave a track half way along?.

What is the official operational procedure for aircraft departing Iceland and the tracks?. Google doesn't want to help!!.

Cheers!!

Officially tracks are joined at the beginning co-ord and exit at the end co-ord. ATC however may allow otherwise, but for the sake of planning, you cannot join a track mid way for example.

You can join and leave the outer tracks at any point along their published routing....
