Lanes of Entry

Background

Lanes of entry are pre-defined corridors which provide passage to/from certain Class D aerodromes. They ensure aircraft remain clear of nearby Class C or military airspace.

Details of each lane are found in the Class D aerodrome's ERSA FAC entry. They are also depicted on the relevant VTC as a line of purple dots. Some lanes transit CTA and require an airways clearance.

Details on specific lanes of entry can be found in Local Procedures.

General Rules

When operating on a lane of entry, the following rules must be abided by:

  • Keep to the right
  • Remain above the minimum altitude over terrain/built up areas
  • Broadcast your position and intentions on the designated frequency or Advisory if none exists
  • Remain clear of CTA unless you have a clearance to enter
