GEN 3.2  Aeronautical charts

1  Responsible services

1.1 The Somalia Civil Aviation Authority provides a wide range of aeronautical charts for use by all types of civil aviation. The Aeronautical Information Service produces the charts which are part of the AIP; all other aeronautical charts, suitable for pre-flight planning and briefing, are available for reference at aerodrome AIS units. The charts are produced in accordance with the provisions contained in ICAO Annex 4 — Aeronautical Charts. Differences to these provisions are detailed in subsection GEN 1.7

2  Maintenance of charts

2.1 The aeronautical charts included in the AIP are kept up to date by amendments to the AIP. Corrections to aeronautical charts not contained in the AIP are promulgated by AIP Amendments and are listed GEN 3.2.8 of this subsection. Information concerning the planning for, or issuance of new maps and charts is notified by Aeronautical Information Circular.
2.2 If incorrect information detected on published charts is of operational significance, it is corrected by NOTAM.

3  Purchase arrangements

3.1 The charts as listed under GEN 3.2.4. are distributed as part of the AIP and can be obtained online on the SCAA AIM Web site: www.aip.scaa.gov.so

4  Aeronautical chart series available

4.1 The following series of aeronautical charts are produced:
  1. Aerodrome/Heliport Chart — ICAO;
  2. Aircraft Parking/Docking Chart — ICAO;
  3. Enroute Chart — ICAO;
  4. Standard Departure Chart — Instrument (SID) — ICAO;
  5. Standard Arrival Chart — Instrument (STAR) — ICAO;
  6. Instrument Approach Chart — ICAO(for each runway and procedure type).
  7. g) Visual Approach Chart — ICAO

The charts currently available are listed underGEN 3.2.5.

4.2  General description of each series
  1. Aerodrome/Heliport Chart — ICAO. This chart contains detailed aerodrome/heliport data to provide flight crews with information that will facilitate the ground movement of aircraft:
    • from the aircraft stand to the runway; and
    • from the runway to the aircraft stand;

    It also provides essential operational information at the aerodrome/heliport.

  2. Aircraft Parking/Docking Chart — ICAO. This chart is produced for those aerodromes where, due to the complexity of the terminal facilities, the information to facilitate the ground movement of aircraft between the taxiways and the aircraft stands and the parking/docking of aircraft cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Aerodrome/Heliport Chart — ICAO or on the Aerodrome Ground Movement Chart — ICAO.
  3. En-route Chart — ICAO. This chart is produced for the entire Mogadishu FIR. The aeronautical data include all aerodromes, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system in detail. The chart provides the flight crew with information that will facilitate navigation along ATS routes in compliance with air traffic services procedures.
  4. Standard Departure Chart — Instrument (SID) — ICAO. This chart is produced whenever a standard departure route — instrument has been established and cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart — ICAO.

    The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of departure, aerodrome(s) which affect the designated standard departure route — instrument, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the designated standard departure route —instrument from the take-off phase to the en-route phase.

  5. Standard Arrival Chart — Instrument (STAR) — ICAO. This chart is produced whenever a standard arrival route —instrument has been established and cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart — ICAO.

    The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of landing, aerodrome(s) which affect the designated standard arrival route — instrument, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the designated standard arrival route — instrument from the en-route phase to the approach phase.

  6. Instrument Approach Chart — ICAO. This chart is produced for all aerodromes used by civil aviation where instrument approach procedures have been established. A separate Instrument Approach Chart — ICAO has been provided for each approach procedure.

    The aeronautical data shown include information on aerodromes, prohibited, restricted and danger areas, radio communication facilities and navigation aids, minimum sector altitude, procedure track portrayed in plan and profile view, aerodrome operating minima, etc.

    This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to perform an approved instrument approach procedure to the runway of intended landing including the missed approach procedure and where applicable, associated holding patterns.

  7. Visual Approach Chart — ICAO. This chart is produced for aerodromes used by civil aviation where:
    • Radio communication facilities are not available; or
    • No adequate aeronautical charts of the aerodrome and its surroundings at 1:500 000 or greater scale is available; or
    • Visual approach procedures have been established.
