VFR circulation

  • AFIL flight plans are not accepted.
  • There is no REA chart published for this TMA.

Remarks

  • The TMA is class A between FL145 and FL195 and class D between FL035 and FL145.
  • SBIL has no tower: Ilhéus APP provides AFIS in the circuit and on the movement area (in the package, SBIL_R_TWR, Rádio Ilhéus, on the same frequency).
  • In the real world, the APP operates from 0915 to 0100 UTC. General aviation and air taxi require prior permission (PPR) 48 h in advance.
