Our Guidelines
Notes on your East-bound flight:
-
VFR flights are allowed on any desired altitude (some restrictions apply). Contrary to popular belief it is not mandatory to fly IFR
-
Entry and exit to/from a country must be through an international airport also known as Airport Of Entry. International means “open to foreign aircraft”. Should you wish to land in a national airport, a special permit will be normally required
-
Only few airports are slot controlled
-
Landing is allowed (restrictions apply) at controlled domestic airports where English ATC is provided
-
Landing is normally allowed at uncontrolled airfields
-
VFR flights are possible to almost any destination on any aircraft
-
Lack of Avgas at many international airports is not a factor as landing is permitted where fuel is available
-
Escort navigator normally is not required
-
See Guide for more information
