NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Originating Unit of this regulation. CAOC5 Balkan Plans Chief is the point of contact working under CAOC5 at Poggio Renatico, ITALY and has responsibility for control and currency of this document (Comm. Tel. 0039 0532 822 420).

1.2. Purpose. This document provides regulations and guidance for General Air Traffic (GAT) operations in the Balkan Joint Operations Area (JOA). Operators must understand that the JOA is controlled airspace with an air traffic service (ATS) structure in which portions of the airspace are still under NATO control. The ATS structure is in the process of normalization that is not yet finalized.

1.3. Application. This regulation is mandatory and applies to all commercial and military aircraft conducting activities at APOD’s within the Balkan JOA. The Balkan JOA consists of ICAO regulated airspace and airspace for the sole use of NATO. Additionally, the airspace is divided into volumes over international waters and parts over the territory and the adjacent territorial waters of the following states: BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA (BiH), CROATIA, MONTENEGRO and SERBIA (M and S), and Former Yugoslav Republic of MACEDONIA1. EUFOR transfers and the Ministry of Communication and Transport of BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA (BiH) accepts the full control of the airspace above its territory, enabling BiH to assume all privileges and obligations resulting from the provisions of the TH Chicago Convention (Protocol on the release of BiH AIRSPACE – Paris, April 20 , 2007). However BiH reaffirms the right of COMEUFOR and EUFOR assets as well as NATO and non-NATO assets in support of EU-operations to free and unrestricted passage as well as to complete and unimpeded freedom of movement by air throughout BiH. Military operators should refer to the classified CAOC5 SPINS, for air activities outside the airlift category defined above. These regulations are to be applied in accordance with (IAW) international laws and the relevant national laws, whichever is more restrictive, of each nation within the Balkan JOA. The CAOC5 emphasizes that the MONTENEGRO and SERBIA Air Traffic Service Agency (SMATSA) of M and S, also known as Belgrade Control, exercises control authority only over aircraft flying within MONTENEGRO and SERBIA. Any NOTAMS issued by Belgrade Control apply only to the airspace and airfields of MONTENEGRO and SERBIA, and do not apply to the airspace over KOSOVO. Procedures to be followed within the airspace over KOSOVO and at airfields inside KOSOVO are issued in this document and applicable AIP. Any participating carrier or unit who is unable to comply with any provision in these regulations should immediately notify CAOC5 in writing, identifying the provision by paragraph number, and explaining the reservations with compliance. Noncompliance with this regulation may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of operating privileges.

1.4.1. ROL Agreements and Certification Rules. This Version (5.1) of Regulations for Aircraft operating in the Balkan JOA will become effective at 0001 UTC 5 APR 12. Version 5.1 replaces all previous versions of JOINT ENTERPRISE/DISCRETE ENTERPRISE Civilian, NATO military and Non–NATO military instructions (Regulations) issued by CAOC5. The Release of Liability and Indemnification (ROL)

This document does not replace current NOTAMS or AIM, which should always be checked for the latest airspace and/or airway information. In the event of a conflict between this document and a current NOTAM or AIM, the latter will take precedence. If Belgrade Control issues any NOTAM/AIM for airspace over KOSOVO, it is to be considered invalid. In such event users are requested to inform CAOC5 by Fax of the area of conflict at earliest opportunity. The following websites offer NOTAMS and additional information:

SECTION 2. GENERAL AIRSPACE INFORMATION

2.1. The Balkans JOA is controlled airspace with an air traffic service (ATS) structure in which portions of the airspace are still under NATO/KFOR control. The ATS structure is in the process of normalization that is not yet finalized. Control of BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA airspace is under BiH Ministry of Communication and Transport. Control of airspace over KOSOVO from ground up to FL 2902 is managed by PRISTINA Air Navigation Service Provider, on behalf of UNMIK, under delegation by NATO3, with military CTRs and CTAs existing within that airspace. Air Traffic Services are provided by PRISTINA Approach (APP) allowing General Air Traffic operations within the airspace over KOSOVO, as outlined in this document. Below 10,000ft AMSL outside CTRs, and CTAs, airspace over KOSOVO is classified as G airspace (Golf as per ICAO) where flight information service and alerting service is provided. For GAT intending to fly in Kosovo G airspace a prior to fly approval is required. Airspace over KOSOVO above FL 290 is closed and under NATO control. All users must understand the rules and risks associated with flights into the Balkan JOA. Strict adherence to these procedures is essential.

2.2. The designated Airspace Control Authority (ACA) is COM AC IZMIR, which directs operations through CAOC5 in support of NATO and EUFOR operations. COM AC IZMIR is the Southern Region ACA, Area Air Defense Commander (AADC), and Airborne Collection Management Authority (ACMA) for all operations within the Balkan JOA.

2.3. Airspace/flight level restrictions over the Balkan JOA are subject to change with little or no notice. Operators must check all applicable AIPs/AICs, NOTAMS and AIM for updates prior to departure. CAOC5 will use the NOTAM system to issue changes to the ATS structure for civilian and non-NATO military flights. Refer to the websites listed in SECTION 1 for the latest information.

2.4. Exception to ICAO Rules: The airspace structure of the Balkans JOA is defined by ICAO, with one exception: Inside Traffic Management Area (TMAIRCRAFTTA) the 250 knots restriction is not applicable to tactical Aircraft tasked by CAOC5.

2 In 2003, the NAC agreed (SG(2003)0824/MCM-044-03) that the airspace over Kosovo would remain under NATO control despite there being no military operational requirements above 30,000 feet, but that this latter portion of airspace could be re-opened to civil traffic as soon as a technical solution for the provision of air navigation services, acceptable by all parties, was found.

3 On 1 April 2004, KFOR delegated to UNMIK the control of Pristina airport and the terminal airspace area. In December 2005, UNMIK signed the ECAA agreement on behalf of Kosovo.

SECTION 5. INFORMATION FOR MONTENEGRO AND SERBIA

5.1. SERBIA-MONTENEGRO OVER-FLIGHT PROCEDURES: USE OF L608 AND M867 BY NATO FLIGHTS: Closed airway routes L608 and M867 are open to NATO/KFOR and EUFOR military flights. The controlling agencies along the routes are: Zagreb ACC for segments of the airways within Bosnia-Herzegovina (West of GORAV and PODOB); Podgorica Approach for segments of the airways within MONTENEGRO and SERBIA (East of GORAV and PODOB); and PRISTINA Approach for segments of the airways within KOSOVO (East of MEDUX and DOLEV).

5.2. Direct flight routing through MONTENEGRO and SERBIA for NATO/KFOR and EUFOR military flights are authorized only via the corridors defined by airways L608 and M867 from 2,000ft AGL to FL150. CAOC5 has been designated to receive and coordinate diplomatic clearance requests with SMATSA for the use of these airways. Only military units may make these requests. For civilian charters in support of a NATO military mission, the military unit associated with the civilian charter company must make the request. Fill in all the items of the form at Annex I of this document and fax to the number below, or e-mail the completed form to [email protected]. Requests must be submitted and changes are to be made no later than 5 working days of flight plan activation. In the final block, place the military requester’s initials verifying that the requested mission is in support of NATO operations. IVSN: 441-3563 or 3555 IVSN FAX: 441-3557 Com: 0039-0532-822-563 or 555 Com. Fax: 0039-0532-822-557 SMATSA Belgrade requires all diplomatic clearance requests for flights transiting Podgorica Airfield be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Montenegro as well as SMATSA. If Podgorica airfield is listed as a destination (ICAO ID: LYPG), please send a fax of Annex I to the above mentioned Ministry (fax 00381 81 245749/ phone 00381 81 225954)

5.3. Do not file for a MONTENEGRO and SERBIA diplomatic clearance request through your own national channels if you intend to use the L608/M867 corridors, file only with CAOC5 as per these instructions.

5.4. MONTENEGRO and SERBIA diplomatic clearance is not authorization to pass through the KOSOVO Air Safety Zone (ASZ). ASZ clearance is granted by COMKFOR by submitting ANNEX E, KOSOVO AIR SAFETY ZONE FLIGHT REQUEST, TO HQ KFOR VIA COMMERCIAL FAX 00 38 922 68 2127/2208 (CONFIRM RECEIPT AT VOICE NUMBER 00 38 922 68 2710) OR NATO UNCLASSIFIED KFOR EMAIL: KFOR NU HQ J3 AIRDESK ([email protected]). THIS REQUEST MUST BE RECEIVED NLT 48 HOURS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. ONCE GRANTED, AUTHORIZATION WILL BE VALID 24HRS ONLY.

5.5. The L608/M867 corridor supports NATO air traffic to/from airspace over KOSOVO. Diplomatic clearance requests must show PRISTINA (or LYPR) as the departure/destination airport. Flight plans must be filed to LYPR (or ZZZZ in field XX and PRISTINA in the remarks). No other KOSOVO locations may be used with the L608/M867 corridors. Aircraft wishing to land at another KOSOVO location may coordinate with PRISTINA approach once 20

REGULATIONS FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATING AS GENERAL AIR TRAFFIC (GAT) IN THE BALKAN JOA VERSION 5.1 EFFECTIVE 5 APR 12 NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

inside KOSOVO. When filing for the L608/M867 corridors, ensure base operations include PRISTINA in the address block (LYPR/ZAZX & LYPR/ZPZX).

5.6. Regularly scheduled Channel flights will coordinate their M and S diplomatic clearance with JFC Naples J4. All other NATO aircraft must request a diplomatic clearance for MONTENEGRO and SERBIA through CAOC5 Plans.

5.7. All NATO flights planning to enter MONTENEGRO and SERBIA will request clearance prior to engine start. Clearance to enter MONTENEGRO and SERBIA must be obtained before take-off.

5.8. Applicable Transfer of Control Points (TCP) and altitudes to initiate transfer:

5.8.1. Minimum crossing altitude at PODOB and GORAV, for transfer of control between Zagreb and Podgorica is FL100.

5.8.2. Flights Eastbound on M867 transfer from: Zagreb ACC to Podgorica APP at GORAV; and from Podgorica APP to PRISTINA APP at MEDUX.

5.8.3. Flights Westbound on L608 transfer from: PRISTINA APP to Podgorica APP at DOLEV; and from Podgorica APP to Zagreb ACC at PODOB

5.9. Aircraft flying L608 into Bosnia-Herzegovina, not intending to land at Sarajevo, must plan to climb at PODOB to FL160 or above, with Zagreb Center, to remain outside Sarajevo TMA.

5.10. In addition to standard data, flight plan will include: - EET for each segment along the route of flight. - MONTENEGRO and SERBIA Diplomatic Clearance Number - Name of pilot in command and number of crew members - Category and number of passengers - ICAO Cargo Designator

5.11. The clearance to enter MONTENEGRO and SERBIA assumes that the aircraft will be established on course, and level at the cleared altitude (FL100 minimum) at the respective TCP. If unable to meet allocated TCP time (plus/minus 3 minutes), contact PRISTINA Approach (L608), or Zagreb Control (M867) prior to entering MONTENEGRO and SERBIA-S airspace. Do not enter MONTENEGRO and SERBIA without clearance. 5.12. Transfer of Control shall occur at the TCP on following frequencies: - NATO Zagreb VHF 135.8 (131.275) UHF 255.700 - Podgorica APP VHF 135.150 UHF 358.825 - PRISTINA APP VHF 119.175 UHF 228.125

5.13. NATO Flights may operate VFR on M867 and L608 from 2,000 ft AGL to FL 145, however, TCPs PODOB and GORAV must still be crossed at FL100. This, in effect, requires a standard GAT-VFR flight plan, since there is no uncontrolled VFR flight within MONTENEGRO and SERBIA. In addition, the route of flight along M867 and L608 often requires aircraft to climb to FL100 in order to maintain the minimum 2,000 ft AGL restriction. Therefore, aircraft planning to fly at low altitude on these routes must provide a carefully planned flight plan a copy of which shall be submitted to PRISTINA

REGULATIONS FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATING AS GENERAL AIR TRAFFIC (GAT) IN THE BALKAN JOA VERSION 5.1 EFFECTIVE 5 APR 12 NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

ARO, indicating all points of climb and descent within Kosovo or MONTENEGRO and SERBIA and at the TCPs.
