1.2 This Contingency Plan is designed to accommodate the flow of international air traffic with aminimum of disturbance for aircraft transiting the ABIDJAN UTA. Routes and flight levels arelimited.

2. Air Traffic Management

2.1 Air Traffic Services Responsibilities

2.1.1 Tactical ATC considerations during periods of over-Ioading may require re-assignment of routesor portions thereof.

2.1.2 Alternative routes are designed to maximize the use of existing ATS route structures andcommunications, navigation and surveillance services.

2.1.3 ln the event that ATS cannot be provided within the ABI DJAN CTA/UT A, the Civil AviationAuthority shall publish not less than 48 hours prior, if practicable, the corresponding NOT AMindicating the following :

a) Time and date of the beginning of the contingency measure;

b) Airspace available for landing and over fIying trafflc and airspace to be avoided;c) Details of the facilities and services available or not available and any limits on ATS

provision (e.g. AGG, APP, TWR and FIS), including an expected date of restoration ofservices if available;

d) Information on the provisions made for altemative services;e) ATS contingency routes;f) Procedures to be followed by neighbouring ATS units;g) Procedures to be followed by pilots; andh) Any other details with respect to the disruption and actions being taken that aircraft

b) Delay or suspension of general aviation IFR operations; and,

c) Delay or suspension of commerciallFR operations.

3. Transition to contingency scheme

3.1 During times of uncertainty when disruption of air traffic services seems possible, aircraftoperators should be prepared for a possible change in routing while en-route, familiarisation ofthe alternative routes outlined in the contingency scheme as weil as what may be promulgatedby ASECNA on behalf of the Civil Aviation Authority of Côte d'Ivoire provider via NOTAM or AIC.

3.2 ln the event of a disruption of air traffic services tha(has not been promulgated, ABIDJAN ACCwill, if possible, broadcast to ail aircraft in the ABIDJAN CTA/UTA, airspace that is affected bythe disruption and any further instructions.

g) Contact the competent adjacent ACC or FIC as soon as possible and at least ten (10)minutes before the estimated time of arrivai over the relevant exit point of ABIDJAN UTA inorder to obtain clearance for entering the adjacent FIR concemed.

h) Display navigation and anti-collision lights at ail times during the transit of contingencyairspace.

i) Maintain their own longitudinal separation of twenty (20) minutes with proceeding aircraftmaintaining the same cruising flight levaI.

7.2 A NOTAMwill be issued if this contingency plan is activated.
