AMC2 CAT.GEN.MPA.205 Aircraft tracking system — Aeroplanes ED Decision 2017/023/R ROUTES INCLUDED IN AIRSPACE COVERED BY ATS SURVEILLANCE (a) Trajectory points located at a distance of less than 50 NM from the departure airfield and trajectory points located at a distance of less than 50 NM from the destination airfield may be considered as not part of the ‘planned route’. (b) Trajectory points located at a distance of less than 50 NM from any diversion airfield may be considered as not part of the ‘planned diversion routes’. (c) An ATS surveillance service may be considered ‘supported by ATC surveillance systems locating the aircraft at time intervals with adequate duration’ if those ATC surveillance systems are capable of locating aircraft at time intervals not exceeding 15 minutes when operated normally. (d) When applicable, the operator should check that the conditions required for using the exception defined by [CAT.GEN.MPA.205(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm927678425) are fulfilled before operating into new airspace blocks. (e) When applicable, the operator should check at time intervals not exceeding 180 calendar days that the conditions required for using the exception defined by [CAT.GEN.MPA.205(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm927678425) are maintained.
