Article 2(27) Air traffic advisory service
ED Decision 2024/007/R
AIR TRAFFIC ADVISORY SERVICE
(a) Air traffic advisory service does not afford the degree of safety and cannot assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control (ATC) service in respect of the avoidance of collisions, since the information regarding the disposition of traffic in the area concerned available to the unit providing air traffic advisory service may be incomplete.
(b) Aircraft wishing to conduct IFR flights within advisory airspace, but not electing to use the air traffic advisory service, are nevertheless to submit a flight plan, and notify changes made thereto to the unit providing that service.
(c) ATS units providing air traffic advisory service:
(1) advise the aircraft to depart at the time specified and to cruise at the levels indicated in the flight plan if it does not foresee any conflict with other known traffic;
(2) suggest to aircraft a course of action by which a potential hazard may be avoided, giving priority to an aircraft already in advisory airspace over other aircraft desiring to enter such advisory airspace; and
(3) pass to aircraft traffic information comprising the same information as that prescribed for area control service.
[applicable until 30 April 2025
– ED Decision 2016/023/R]
(a) Air traffic advisory service does not afford the degree of
safety and cannot assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control
(ATC) service in respect of the avoidance of collisions, since the information
regarding the disposition of traffic in the area concerned available to the
unit providing air traffic advisory service may be incomplete.
(b) Air traffic services units providing air traffic advisory
service:
(1) advise the aircraft to depart at the time specified and to
cruise at the levels indicated in the flight plan if it does not foresee any
conflict with other known traffic;
(2) suggest to aircraft a course of action by which a potential
hazard may be avoided, giving priority to an aircraft already in advisory
airspace over other aircraft desiring to enter such advisory airspace; and
(3) pass to aircraft traffic information comprising the same
information as that prescribed for area control service.
EASA air traffic advisory service offers traffic information and hazard avoidance suggestions, but doesn't guarantee collision avoidance like air traffic control. Aircraft flying in advisory airspace must file flight plans, even without using the service. The service prioritizes aircraft already within the airspace, providing relevant traffic updates.
