FOREWORD The Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Rules of the Air and Air Trafic Services PANS-RAC are the result of the progressive evolution of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services -Air Trafic Control PANS-ATC prepared by the Air Traffic Control Committee of the International Con- ference on North Atlantic Route Service Organization Dublin, March 1946. The original PANS-ATC were subse- quently anrended and supplemented by the ATC Committee of the International Conference on European-Mediterranean Route Service Organization Paris, April 1946, by the Second, Third and Fourth Sessions of the RAC Division Montreal, December 1946 - January 1947, April-May 1948 and November-December 1950 and from time to time in pursuance of recomnlerdatiotls of the RAC Com- mittees of various regional meetings. The title of the procedures was changed to Proccdzrres for Air Navigation Serv- ices- Rrles of the Air afld Air Trafic Services PANS-KAC following the Fourth Session of the RAC Division, so as to make it more descriptive of the material contained therein. Ametldment 2 to Annex 2, adopted by Council on 17 Novcmber 1953, intro- duced a change in the procedures to be followed in case of air-ground com- munications failure and required a conse- quential atnendmetlt in the PANS-RAC. Action by the First Air Navigation Conference Montreal, February-March 1953 resulted in amendments to the posi- tion reporting procedures and codes, to the holding phraseologies, and to the radar procedures and phraseologies for use in connection with approach control service. Action by Couticil on Recom- mendation No. 15 of the AGA Division, Fifth Session Montreal, October- November 1952 resulted in the trans- ference to the PANS-RAC of those procedures in the PANS-AGA Doc 4810-AGA/559, now cancelled concern- ing the operation of aeronautical ground lights. The Sixth Edition incorporated pro- visions arising from recommendatios of the Second Air Navigation Conference Montreal, August-September 1955. The most ilnportant of these concered changes in the criteria relating to the separation minima, aimed at making better use of the available the distance flights from airspace the increase of above cloud for "on-top" at least 150 metres 500 feet to at least 300 metres 1,000 feet coordination between units providing area control service for contig'uous areas and more detailed descriptions of the objectives and functions of air traffic advisory. service and alerting service. Nunerous amendments relating to im- provements in detail were also made. Others were made as a consequence of amedments adopted to Annexes 2 and 11 following ,recommendations of the Second Air Navigation Conference. The present edition incorporates pro- yisions arising from the recommenda- tions of the Rules of the Air, Air Traflic Services and Search and Rescue Divisions Montreal, October-November 1958. The most significant of these were the introduction of a new flight plan form and major revision of the provisions relating to the submission, content, conlpletion and changing of flight plans and the issuance of clear- ances based thereon. The content of flight plan messages was likewise re- vised and a standardized content for messages relating to emergency phases was introduced. Changes were .effected to the separation nlinirna requirements aud provision was made for the use of a nominal 600 metres 2,000 feet minimum vertical separation interval above a prescribed level. The item "Flight conclitiotls" was deleted from the content of a position report and provision was made for one or more items to be omitted therefrom when certain circumstances obtained. The issuance of clearances to fly maintaining VMC was restricted to specific and limited portions of climb and descent the provisions relating to the transfer of responsibility for control from one ATC unit to another were modified and amplified in detail as were the pro- cedures for approach control service a more detailed description of the ob- jectives and functions of the air traffic advisory service was also effected. Changes and additions were made to the phraseologies for ATS, and a consolida- tion of all provisions regarding flight . plans, the flight plan form and instruc- tions for completion of same were intro- duced as an Attachment, for the con- venience of air traffic services. Amendment 1 to the Seventh Edition, approved by Council on 2 December 1960, incorporated provisions relating to the transmission of meteorological in- formation to aircraft in flight, as a result of recommendations made by the Panel for Coordinating Procedures Respecting the Supply of Information for Air Operations First Meeting, Montreal, May- June 1959. It also comprised changes to certain elements of the Air- report and to the AlREP form, made as a result of recommendations of the Fifth Session of the Meteorology Di- vision Montreal, September 1959. Amendment 2 to the Seventh Edition, approved by Council on 26 June 1961, incorporated altimeter setting procedures applicable to air traffic services devel- oped from provisions previously con- tained in Doc 7030 Regional Scpple- trtcfrtary Procedzrres and complenentary to the altimeter setting procedures in- cluded ill the Procedztres for Air Navi- gatiota Services - Aircraft Operatiors PANS-OPS. Amendmet 3 to the Seventh Edition, approved by Council on 15 Urccmber 1961, incorporated a change to the in- struction for completing Item "G" of the flight plan form to cater for flights th.ough intermediate stops. The Procedures for Air Navigation Services PANS do not have the same status as the Standards and Recom- mended Practices. Whilst the latter are adopted by Council in pursuance of Ar- ticle 37 of the Colvention on Interna- tional Civil Aviation, subject to the full procedure of Article 90, the PANS are approved by the Council and recom- nlended to Contracting States for world-wide application. Whilst the PANS may contain material which may eventually become Standards or Recommended Practices SARPS when it has reached the maturity and stability necessary for adoption as such, they may also com- prise material prepared as an amplifica- tion of the basic principles in the corresponding SARPS, and designed particularly to. assist the user ill the ap- plication of those SARPS. This latter material will not necessarily reach a stage at which it would be suitable for inclusion in. an Annex. PANS-RAC DOC 4444-RAC/501/7 1/7/62 --- Nu. 3
