Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Within Manila CTR¶
-
All VFR aircraft must be able to tune to frequencies in the VATSIM network, including, but not limited to:
- 121.800 MHz (RPLL_GND)
- 118.100 MHz (RPLL_TWR)
- 124.400 MHz (RPLL_F_APP)
- 124.800 MHz (RPLL_APP)
- 119.300 MHz (MNL_CTR)
-
Prior entering designated VFR areas, contact RPLL_TWR on 118.100 MHz
- Adhere to established Manila VFR arrival/departure routings
- Maintain not above 1500 FT within 10 NM from RPLL, not above 2500 FT within 10 - 15 NM from RPLL
- When intending to transit the IFR climb/descend areas, contact Manila Approach on 124.400 (RPLL_F_APP), 124.800 MHz (RPLL_APP) or 119.300 MHz (MNL_CTR) for the necessary clearance.
- All VFR aircraft inside the Manila Control Zone (CTR) must maintain listening watch with RPLL_TWR or higher controller up to the exit points
- All VFR aircraft outside the Manila CTR but inside Manila TMA must maintain listening watch with RPLL_F_APP or higher controller
- All arriving VFR flights shall initiate contact and remain on listening watch thereafter with RPLL_TWR upon entering Manila CTR
- Any deviation from departure / arrival procedures shall have prior approval from RPLL_TWR or higher controller
- All runway threshold or approach path crossing shall have explicit clearance from RPLL_TWR or higher controller.
