Annex C
Exchange of Flight Data
Effective: 11/12/2014
Revised:
C.1
General.
C.1.1
Basic Flight Plans.
Basic Flight Plan data should normally be available at ATS Units.
C.1.2
Current Flight Plan Data.
Messages, including current flight plan data, shall be forwarded by the transferring ATS Unit to the
accepting ATS Unit either by automatic data exchange or by telephone to the appropriate
sector/position.
C.1.2.1
Automatic Data Exchange.
ABI/ACT/LAM/PAC/REV/MAC messages are exchanged between the ATS Units in accordance
with Appendix 1 to Annex C.
C.1.2.2
Verbal Estimates.
For conditions that are not supported by the automatic data exchange, verbal estimates will be
exchanged.
A verbal estimate shall be passed to the appropriate sector at the accepting ATS-unit at least 10
(ten) minutes prior, but not earlier then 30 (thirty) minutes before the aircraft is estimated to
pass the transfer of control point.
A verbal estimate shall contain:
a) The word "Estimate";
b) Callsign;
Note:
To indicate that the flight plan is available, the accepting ATS Unit should state aircraft type and destination
after having received the callsign.
c) SSR code:
Note:
Normally, the notification of a SSR code indicates that the selection of that code by the aircraft was
verified.
d) ETO for the appropriate COP as laid in Annex D to this LoA;
e) Cleared flight level, specifying climb or descent conditions if applicable, at the transfer of
control point;
Requested flight level if different from cleared flight level;
f)
Other information, if applicable.
1. When an automated message pertaining to a non-RVSM approved aircraft does not contain the filed flight plan
information relevant to RVSM operations, the transferring ATS Unit shall supplement the verbal estimate to the
accepting ATS Unit, using the phrase "NEGATIVE RVSM" or "NEGATIVE RVSM STATE AIRCRAFT", as
applicable.
LoA between SOFIA ACC and BUCUREŞTI ACC / CONSTANŢA APP

2. When an RVSM approved aircraft is unable to continue to meet the vertical navigation accuracy required to
operate within EUR RVSM airspace, the transferring ATS Unit shall inform the accepting ATS Unit by verbally
supplementing the associated coordination message(s), using the phrase "UNABLE RVSM DUE EQUIPMENT" or
"UNABLE RVSM DUE TURBULENCE", as applicable.
3. When an aircraft is experiencing an in-flight contingency which impacts on RVSM operations, the transferring ATS
Unit shall inform the accepting ATS Unit by verbally supplementing the associated coordination message(s) with a
description of the cause of the contingency.
Normally verbal estimates will not be passed in parallel with ACT messages.
In all cases, verbally passed data shall take precedence over data exchanged automatically.
C.1.2.2.1 For non-RVSM approved State aircraft operating within the EUR RVSM airspace, a verbal
estimate shall be passed to the appropriate sector/position at the accepting ATS Unit at least 20
(twenty) minutes before the aircraft is estimated to pass the transfer of control point.
C.1.2.3
Failure of Automatic Data Exchange.
In the event of a failure which prevents the automatic transfer of data, the Supervisors shall
immediately decide to revert to the verbal exchange of estimates.
After recovery from a system failure, the Supervisors shall agree as to when they will revert to
automatic data exchange.
C.1.3
Non-availability of Flight Plan Data.
If the accepting ATS Unit does not have basic flight plan data available, additional information may
be requested from the transferring ATS Unit to supplement the ACT message or a verbal estimate.
Such additional information should include:
a. the RVSM approval status of the aircraft; and
b. whether or not a non-RVSM approved aircraft is a State aircraft.
C.1.4
Revisions.
Any significant revisions to the flight data are to be transmitted to the accepting ATS Unit.
a. When an RVSM approved aircraft is unable to continue to meet the vertical navigation accuracy required to operate
within EUR RVSM airspace, the transferring ATS Unit shall inform the accepting ATS Unit by verbally supplementing the
associated coordination message(s), using the phrase "UNABLE RVSM DUE EQUIPMENT" or "UNABLE RVSM DUE
TURBULENCE", as applicable.
b. When an aircraft is experiencing an in-flight contingency which impacts on RVSM operations, the transferring ATS Unit
shall inform the accepting ATS Unit by verbally supplementing the associated coordination message(s) with a description
of the cause of the contingency.
Time differences of 3 (three) minutes or more are to be exchanged.
Changes to the coordinated levels within 5 (five) minutes of the ETO for the transfer of control
point are subject to an Approval Request.
C.1.4.1
Automatic Revisions.
See Appendix 1 to Annex C
C.1.4.2
Verbal Revisions.
A verbal revision shall contain:
a) The word “Revision” followed by referring COP and Flight Level;
b) Callsign;

Alternate Fall-Back Procedures for Coordination
In case of communications failure where the alternatives described in paragraphs C.3.1 and
C.3.2 above are not available or practicable, pilots shall be instructed, at least 5 (five) minutes
prior to the transfer of control point, to pass flight data on the appropriate frequency of the
accepting ATS Unit for the purpose of obtaining an ATC entry clearance from the accepting ATS
Unit.
If the accepting ATS Unit cannot issue an entry clearance to the pilot upon his initial contact, the
pilot shall be instructed to inform the transferring ATS Unit accordingly via RTF.
The transferring ATS Unit shall hold the aircraft within its AoR and after a minimum of 10 (ten)
minutes instruct the pilot to re-establish RTF contact with the accepting ATS Unit.
This procedure shall be repeated until an onward clearance has been obtained from the
accepting ATS Unit.

11/12/2014
D.1
General Conditions for Acceptance of Flights.
D.1.1
Coordination of flights shall take place by reference to the COP for the relevant route and in
accordance with the appropriate levels specified for the relevant route (see paragraphs D.2 and
D.3).
D.1.2
Flights shall be considered to be maintaining the coordinated level at the transfer of control point
unless climb or descent conditions have been clearly stated by use of crossing conditions in the
PAC/ACT or by verbal coordination, except if otherwise described in paragraphs D.2 or D.3.
D.1.3
If the accepting ATS Unit cannot accept a flight offered in accordance with the conditions
specified above, it shall clearly indicate its inability and specify the conditions under which the
flight will be accepted.
D.1.4
For any proposed deviation from the conditions specified in this Annex (e.g. COP, route or level)
the transferring unit shall initiate an Approval Request.
D.1.5
The accepting ATS Unit shall not notify the transferring ATS Unit that it has established groundair communications with the transferred aircraft unless specifically requested to do so. The
Accepting Unit shall notify the transferring Unit in the event that communication with the aircraft is
not established as expected.
D.1.6
8.33 kHz Channel Spacing Procedure.
D.1.6.1
Except for UHF-equipped State aircraft, SOFIA ACC shall ensure that all aircraft identified as not
equipped with 8.33 kHz channel spacing capability are coordinated below FL195 with

Annex F
ATS Surveillance Based Coordination Procedures
Effective:
Revised:
11/12/2014
F.1
General.
F.1.1
Transfer of identification and transfer of control between SOFIA ACC and BUCUREŞTI ACC /
CONSTANŢA APP will be subject to the serviceability of the respective surveillance systems and
two-way direct speech facilities between the controller working positions.
F.1.2
In case of any doubt about the identity of an aircraft, nothing in the provisions of this Annex
prevents the use of other methods for the identification of an aircraft.
F.2
Transfer of Aircraft Identification
F.2.1
Transfer of aircraft identification between SOFIA ACC and BUCUREŞTI ACC / CONSTANŢA
APP is normally performed by notification of the aircraft discrete SSR code.
F.2.2
BUCUREŞTI ACC / CONSTANŢA APP shall transfer aircraft on verified discrete SSR codes
assigned in accordance with ORCAM.
F.2.3
SOFIA ACC shall transfer aircraft on verified discrete SSR codes assigned in accordance with
CCAMS.
F.2.4
Any change of SSR code by the accepting ATS Unit may only take place after the transfer of
control point.
F.2.5
The accepting ATS Unit shall be notified of any observed irregularity in the operation of SSR
transponders.
F.3
Transfer of Control
F.3.1
If it becomes necessary to reduce or suspend transfers of control, a 10 minutes prior notification
shall be observed, except in emergency situations.
F.3.2
Aircraft shall not be vectored or cleared to operate closer than 5 NM distance to the common AoR
boundary, except when a prior coordination has been made or a transfer of control is about to be
effected.
Note: In these cases the coordination procedures as described in Annex C shall be applied.
F.3.3
Transfer of Control without systematic use of the bi-directional speech facilities (Silent
Transfer of Control)
F.3.3.1
Transfer of control may be effected without systematic use of bi-directional speech
facilities provided the minimum distance between successive aircraft about to be transferred is 10
NM and it is constant or increasing.
Note:
Whenever the operational or technical conditions with regard to the south – east bound traffic require, the SOFIA
ACC shift supervisor can impose:
a) 20 NM if the succeeding aircraft is faster by not more than:
M 0.1 at or above FL 250; or
40 kts IAS below FL 250;
b) 15 NM if the succeeding aircraft is not faster;

Annex F
Page F1
BUCUREŞTI ACC / CONSTANŢA APP
SOFIA ACC
F.3.3.2
The transferring unit shall inform the accepting unit of any level, speed or vectoring instructions
given to aircraft prior to its transfer and which modify its anticipated flight progress at the point of
transfer.
F.3.3.3
The accepting ATS Unit may terminate the silent transfer of control at any time, normally with an
advance notice of 15 minutes. If circumstances arise in which the agreed conditions for silent
transfer of control can no longer be satisfied, units shall revert to transfer of control with use of
bidirectional speech facilities until the situation is resolved (see F.3.4).
Note 1: When using mach-number or IAS speed control, pilots concerned shall be instructed to report their
assigned mach-number or indicated air speed to the accepting ATS Unit upon initial contact.
Note 2: For detailed conditions of silent transfer of control, see ICAO DOC 4444 - PANS ATM, Chapter 8,
para 8.7.4, transposed into relevant national procedural documents in both Bulgaria and Romania
Note 3: As far as reasonably practicable, transferring controllers shall endeavor to ensure that an aircraft
leaving his/her sector is not in immediate conflict with another aircraft leaving his/her sector and that
adequate separation is maintained for at least 3 (three) minutes after leaving his/her AoR. Under no
circumstances shall this relieve the accepting controller from his/her separation provision duties within the
limits of his/her own airspace and the ultimate responsibility for ensuring separation and timely execution of
the procedures described in D.1.3. remains upon the accepting sector controller.
F.3.4
Transfer of Control with use of the bi-directional speech facilities
F.3.4.1. Transfer of control may be effected with the use of bi-directional speech facilities provided that
the minimum distance between the aircraft does not fall below 15 NM at the moment when
succeeding aircraft is crossing the common sector boundary and if the succeeding aircraft is
faster and by not more than:
Mach number differing by not more than:
- M 0.05 at or above FL 250; or
- 20 kts IAS below FL 250;
and:
1. identification has been transferred to or has been established directly by the accepting
controller unit;
2. the accepting controller unit is informed of any level, speed or vectoring instructions
applicable to the aircraft at the point of transfer;
3. communication with the aircraft is retained by the transferring controller unit until the
accepting controller unit has agreed to assume responsibility for providing ATS
surveillance service to the aircraft. Thereafter, the aircraft should be instructed to change
over to the appropriate frequency and from that point is the responsibility of the
accepting controller unit.
F.4
Reduced Longitudinal Separation.
