PUBLICATION OF REDUCED RUNWAY SEPARATION MINIMA The air traffic services provider should arrange to publish all applicable procedures related to the application of reduced runway separation minima as in AMC9 ATS.TR.210(c)(2)(i) in the aeronautical information publication (AIP) and to include them also in the local ATC instructions.

PROMULGATION OF INFORMATION ON AFIS The air traffic services provider should arrange to report information regarding the availability of AFIS and related procedures for its inclusion in the relevant parts of the AIP in the same manner as in the case of aerodromes provided with air traffic control service, in accordance with Appendix I to Annex VI (Part-AIS). The information includes but is not limited to the following:

(a)identification of the aerodrome;

(b)location and identification of the AFIS unit;

(c)hours of operation of the AFIS unit. For aerodromes where there is an alternation of the air traffic control service and AFIS provision, hours of operation of both services;

(e)language(s) used;

(f)detailed description of the services provided, including alerting service and, if applicable, use of direction-finding;

ORIGIN OF AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION Information to be reported by the air traffic services provider to the AIS provider for the purpose of air traffic services may originate also from other entities, such as the aerodrome operator, the apron management services provider, CNS service providers, etc.

Of particular importance are changes to aeronautical information that affect charts and/or computer-based navigation systems which qualify to be notified by the aeronautical information regulation and control (AIRAC) system, as stipulated in AIS.OR.505 and AIS.TR.505.
