TABLES AND CODES GEN 2.1 MEASURING SYSTEM, AIRCRAFT MARKINGS, HOLIDAYS 1. Units of measuring Aeronautical stations, within Central American FIR and Costa Rica, will use the table of units of measuring shown bellow for air/ground operations. 2. Temporal reference system General Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used by Air Navigation Services and in publications issued by the Aeronautical Information Services. Reporting of time is expressed to the nearest minute, for example: 12:40:35 is reported as: 12:41. 3. Horizontal reference system 3.1 Name/system designation All geographical coordinates published, indicating latitude and longitude are expressed in terms of the World Geodetic System (WGS-84).Geodetic reference datum. 3.2 Projection The projection is expressed in terms of Mercator Traverse System for Costa Rica (CRTM 05) 3.3 Ellipsoid The ellipsoid is expressed in terms of the ellipsoid of World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84). FOR MEASUREMENT OF Distance used In navigation, position report, Etc. Generally in excess of 2 nautical miles Relatively short distances such as those relating aerodromes, (for example: runway lengths) UNITS USED Nautical miles and tenths to Meters Altitudes, elevation, and heights Feet Horizontal speed, including wind speed Knots Vertical Speed Feet per minute Wind direction for landing and taking off Magnetic degrees Wind direction, except for landing and taking off True degrees Visibility, including runway visual range Kilometers or meters Altimeter setting Hectopascals Temperature Celsius degrees Weight Kilogram’s Time Hours and minutes (UTC) AIS/MAP AIRAC AMDT No.19 GEN 2.1-2 11 FEB 2010 3.4 Reference The World Geodesic System: 3.5 AIP COSTA RICA -1984 (WGS-84). Area of application The area of application for the geographical coordinates published coincides with the area of responsibility of the Aeronautical Information Service; this means the entire territory of Costa Rica. 3.6 Use of an asterisk to identify published geographical coordinates. An asterisk (*) will be used to identify those published geographical coordinates which have been transformed into WGS-84 coordinates but whose accuracy of original field work does not meet the requirements in ICAO Annex 11, Chapter 2 and ICAO Annex 4, Volumes I and II, Chapter 2. Specifications for determination and reporting of WGS-84 coordinates are given in ICAO Annex 11, Chapter 2 and in ICAO Annex 14, Volumes I and II, Chapter 2. 4. Vertical reference system 4.1 Name/system designation The vertical reference system corresponds at the mean sea level (MSL). 4.2 Geoid Model The Geoid model used is the Earth Gravity Model-1996 (EGM-96) 5. Aircraft nationality and registration marks The nationality registration mark for an aircraft register in Costa Rica is conformed by two letters "TI" (TANGO INDIA). The nationality mark is followed by a hyphen and a registration mark consisting of 3 letters, for example: TI-LAM. The three letters of the registration mark are designated by the Civil Aviation Direction General according with the registration and identification of aircraft in Costa Rica. 6.

AMDT No. 18 AIS/MAP AIP COSTA RICA GEN 3.1-3 NOV 28, 14 3.2 Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) The AIP is the basic aviation document intended primarily to satisfy international requirements for the exchange of permanent aeronautical information and long duration temporary changes essential for air navigation. The AIP is published in one volume. It is published in a loose-leaf form to use in international and domestic operations, whether commercial or a private flight. 3.3 Amendment Service to the AIP (AIP AMDT) Amendments to the AIP are made by means of replacement sheets. Two types of AIP AMDT are produced: - Regular AIP amendments (AIP AMDT), it is published with the necessary frequency (ref.GEN 0.1-3) and identified by a light blue cover sheet, incorporates permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated publication date. - AIRAC AIP Amendment (AIRAC AIP AMDT), issued in accordance with the AIRAC system and identified by a pink cover sheet and the acronym AIRAC, incorporates operationally significant permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated AIRAC effective date. - A brief description of the subjects affected by the amendment is provided on the AIP Amendment cover sheet. New information included on the reprinted AIP pages is annotated or identified by a vertical line in the left margin (or immediately to the left) of the change/addition. - Each AIP page and each AIP replacement page introduced by an amendment, including the amendment cover sheet, are dated. The date consists of the day, month (by name) and year of the publication date (regular AIP AMDT) or the AIRAC effective date (AIRAC AIP AMDT) of the information. Each AIP amendment cover sheet includes references to the serial number of those elements, if any, of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package which have been incorporated in the AIP by the amendment and are consequently cancelled. - Each AIP AMDT and each AIRAC AIP AMDT are allocated separate serial numbers which are consecutive and based on the civil year. The year, indicated by two digits, is part of the serial number of the amendment, e.g. AIP AMDT 1/96; AIRAC AIP AMDT 1/96. - A checklist of AIP containing page number/chart title and the publication or effective date (day, month, by name and year) of the information is reissued with each amendment and is an integral part of the AIP.

AIP Supplements are separated by information subject (General-Gen), En-route-ENR and Aerodromes-AD) and are placed accordingly at the beginning of each AIP Part. Supplements are published on yellow paper to be conspicuous and to stand out from the rest of the AIP. Each AIP supplement (regular or AIRAC) is allocated a serial number which is consecutive and based on the civil year, i.e. AIP SUP 1/96; AIRAC AIP Sup 1/96. An AIP Supplement is kept in the AIP as long as all or some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity of the information contained in the AIP Supplement will normally be provided in the supplement itself. Alternatively, NOTAM may be used to indicate changes to the period of validity or cancellation of the supplement. A checklist of AIP Supplements currently in force is issued in the monthly printed plain-language summary or NOTAM in force. All AIP supplements are delivered by airmail to the subscribers and states which we have exchange.
