You only need one if you&#8217;re travelling on airway A202.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That kind of makes sense, as A202 is the only airway right up there at the very top of the Sanya FIR, cutting across Sanya&#8217;s landmass, and connecting the VVVV\/Hanoi FIR with the ZGZU\/Guangzhou FIR. All the other airways are out over the ocean, down to the South of the Sanya FIR, and not going anywhere near the Chinese mainland.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to operate on A202, you&#8217;ll need a China overflight permit. Technically, you&#8217;re supposed to submit your request to the CAA by AFTN to: ZBBBZGZX, ZGGGZBZX and ZJSYZRZX, 3 days in advance. However, unless you&#8217;ve done it before and you know what you&#8217;re doing, we suggest you just use an agent instead &#8211; dealing with the Chinese authorities direct can often be a misery.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of which airway you use, if you&#8217;re flying on a call sign, remember to put down the aircraft reg in Field 18 of the flight plan, and fill the accumulated EET to the Sanya FIR. Also, if you&#8217;re flying on L642, M771 or N892, you&#8217;ve got to be RNP10 approved, otherwise you&#8217;ll have to stay below FL280.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 3-second answer: you don\u2019t need a China overflight permit on airways: A1, L642, M771&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":2892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[109,158,536],"class_list":{"0":"post-2890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-briefings","8":"tag-china","9":"tag-overflight-permit","10":"tag-sanya-fir"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2890"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2890\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2895,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2890\/revisions\/2895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
