VFR circulation

Visual navigation documents

  • There is no VFR circulation circular (AIC) in force for this TMA.
  • There is no visual chart (REA/REH) published for this TMA.
  • Flights over the Iguaçu Falls require prior coordination and authorization from Cataratas TWR.
  • Published traffic circuits: SBFI to the NNE, SARI (Cataratas del Iguazú) to the SSW, SGES (Guarani) and Itaipu to the WNW.

Remarks

  • The TMA is class A between FL145 and FL195 and class C between 3500 FT and FL145.

  • Foz APP operates in Spanish, Portuguese and English. IFR flights need two-way communication with the Cataratas, Foz and Guarani CTR units.
