Feb 1st, 2017\u00a0<\/strong>Traffic is getting far busier through the Turkey-Iran FIR boundary<\/strong> (Europe-Asia main flight route). ALRAM<\/strong> is the new “corner” for avoiding Iraq. Here’s updated flight planning \u00a0guidance from\u00a0Turkey for Jan-March 2017 – use these when planning your ATC route (refer LTAA A5716\/16). We’ve translated the Notam a little for clarity, here’s the highlights:<\/p>\n

1. SRT-ALRAM<\/strong> segment of UG8\u00a0\u00a0– use FL330 or higher.
\n2. ULTED-ALRAM<\/strong>\u00a0segment of UT36\u00a0– use FL330 or higher.
\n3. Going via\u00a0UG8 or\u00a0UT36, to leave Tehran FIR via ALRAM<\/strong>, at FL320 and below: Route EZS-UG81\/UL124-VAN-BONAM-UMH. Check Iran AIP Sup 93\/15 for more.
\n4. ALRAM<\/strong>-BAYIR\u00a0segment UT888 minimum FL330. If entering LTAA\/Ankara FIR via ALRAM lower than FL330, then route UMH-BONHAM-UI124\/UG81-VAN-UI124-UG81-BAYIR.
\n5. VAN-BONAM segment of UG81 and UI124 can be used bidirectional below FL330.
\n6. ULTED-NINVA segment of UM688\u00a0– use FL330 or higher.
\n7. Entire R\/UR21, SRT-KABAN segment of M\/UM860, and ULSAB-KABAN\u00a0segment of UT334\u00a0<\/strong>closed FL180-FL310.
\n8. UT332 – use FL330 or higher.
\n9. UT301 totally closed.
\n10. UT333 closed FL180-FL310 inclusive.<\/p>\n
