NAT Doc 007 January 2017 Important Changes
http://flightservicebureau.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/NATDoc007-2017Edition-OPSGROUP.pdf
Anyone noticed the important changes on this revision especially the contingencies? Careful reversing course in case of a diversion. |
Interesting. Seems more codified than I recollect.
Now retired so, not that it matters to me, but: f) For deviations of greater than 10 NM, when the aircraft is approximately 10 NM from track, initiate a level change of 300 ft. If flying generally Eastbound (i.e. a magnetic track of 000° to 179°) and deviating left (ie north) of track then descend 300 ft; if, however, deviating right (i.e. south) of track then climb 300 ft. If flying generally Westbound (i.e. a magnetic track of 180° to 359°) and deviating left (i.e. south) of track then climb 300 ft; if, however, deviating right (i.e. north) of track then descend 300 ft. |
So that if somebody screws up there's still 400ft?
|
Almost HT, I would say because of the crossing tracks , if everybody diverts at same time ( i.e. due Wx ) on crossing you have someone 300ft down a FL , some opposite 300ft up their FL , so 400ft separation between them . Makes sense.

Aahso, Got it (I think). That's why you lucky pax aren't flown by 75yo s ;)
|
Do you know the exact date in when NAT Doc 007 was published in January, and also is it effective immediately or a certain future effective date?
Thank you. |

Now retired so, not that it matters to me, but: Why 300' and not 500'? 500' for other deviations requiring exiting tracks. Must read the able vs unable to maintain altitude section carefully. Also notice "should" vs must... I guess they wanted to give the PIC some leeway to be able to deviate from published procedure in case of fire/smoke etc.. |

Did I miss something . The IFALPA bulletin ( see link) , says 500 ft ?
|
300ft is for weather deviations. The IFALPA link is for in flight contingencies.

Effect
Thus i cant find this publication on original icao website, do you know when these changes will take effect? Because it is still the 2016 version is on icao.int website.
