INTRODUCTION A significant proportion of NAT traffic transits the SHANNON UTA/SOTA/NOTA to and from major European destination areas. The following paragraphs describe the procedures for NAT traffic transiting this Airspace. 2. ATS ROUTEING PROCEDURES FOR WESTBOUND NAT TRAFFIC In the Westbound NAT OTS signal SHANWICK OAC promulgates the track structure(s) applicable together with such other information as may be considered useful for operators to identify the route to be flown. 3. ATS ROUTEING PROCEDURES FOR EASTBOUND NAT TRAFFIC 3.1 The domestic Landfall points KESIX, OSBOX, BEGID, SOVED, MOGLO, NETKI, KOKIB, BEXET, OLGON, GISTI, RILED, XETBO, LEKVA, ELSOX, EPUNA, ATSUR, BIMGO, NASBA, GUNSO and EMPER, which are associated with the Oceanic Exit points, are promulgated in the eastbound OTS message. Use of these points may vary from day to day depending on the published OTS. 3.1.1 If an Eastbound NAT Flight operating to a specified destination is rerouted via an oceanic Landfall different to that filed in the flight plan, the flight may route DCT from the new Landfall to the original filed exit point from Irish Airspace. In the event of an alternative route being issued by IFPS SHANNON ATC will advise the flight on first contact. 3.1.2 Due to a number of flights deviating from clearances prior to exiting SHANWICK Oceanic Controlled Airspace, Flight crew are reminded of the following, Eastbound route clearances issued by SHANNON Control for Aircraft exiting Oceanic Airspace apply from AGORI, SUNOT, BILTO, PIKIL,ETARI,RESNO,VENER,DOGAL, NEBIN,MALOT,TOBOR,LIMRI, ADARA,DINIM,RODEL,SOMAX,KOGAD,BEDRA,OMOKO,TAMEL, GELPO and LASNO.
