8. Lat/Long coordinates are plotted and recorded 10 minutes after crossing a

waypoint.

SLOPMitigates Wake Turbulence and Collision Risk

SLOP GuidelinesThree positions: Centerline, 1 NM and 2 NM

rightCannot exceed 2 NM



SLOP Pilot ActionsAvionics capable of performing automatic offset

functions No auto-offset: fly centerline

Not necessary to request offset from ATC, or to inform ATC that an offset is being flown

Cross into the oceanic airspace over oceanic entry point (same for oceanic exit point)

Position reporting as if crossing directly over the waypoints



Possible In-flight Contingencies:Inability to maintain assigned flight levelEnroute diversion across the prevailing traffic

flowLoss of or significant reduction in required

navigation capability

Pacific Ops - HawaiiContingencies


General Procedures:Obtain a revised clearanceTransmit distress (MAYDAY) or urgency signal

(PAN PAN)



If revised clearance cannot be obtained :Leave the assigned route or track by initially

turning 45 degr .right or to the left. Factors which may affect the direction of the turn

are:Position of the aircraft relative to any organized

route The direction to an alternate airport, terrain clearance;

Any lateral offset being flown, and the flight levels allocated on adjacent routes or tracks.



If revised clearance cannot be obtained (cont’d): Following the turn, the pilot should:

If unable to maintain the assigned FL, min. descent rate

Take account of other aircraft being laterally offset from its track;

Acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 15 NM from the assigned route; and

Once established on the offset track, climb or descend to select a flight level which differs from those normally used by 150 m (500 ft);



If revised clearance cannot be obtained (cont’d):

Establish communications with other aircraft (121.5; 123.45)

Watch for conflicting traffic – Visually and TCASTurn on all aircraft exterior lightsKeep the transponder on




True or False

9. If revised clearance cannot be obtained the following frequencies can be used to

establish communications with other aircraft:121.5 and 123.45


General:Initiate ATC communications:

“Weather deviation required”PAN PAN (when necessary)

State intentions and comply with ATC clearance

Inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required

Pacific Ops - HawaiiWeather Deviation


No clearance can be obtained :If possible, deviate away from assigned route Establish communications with other aircraft

(121.5; 123.45)Watch for conflicting traffic – Visually and TCASTurn on all aircraft exterior lights



No clearance can be obtained (cont’d):For deviations < 10 NM; remain at assigned FLFor deviations > 10 NM; change FL;
