About Central African Republic | History - Geography

---

Central African Republic, region of Africa that straddles the Equator and is drained largely by the Congo River system. It comprises, according to common definitions, the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville), the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa); Gabon is usually included along with the Central African Republic because of their common historical ties, both of these countries having once been part of French Equatorial Africa. Rwanda and Burundi, although they are located east of the East African Rift System, which forms the eastern divide of the Congo basin, are also often considered part of the region because of their long administrative connections with the former Belgian Congo (now Congo [Kinshasa]). The island republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, off the Atlantic coast of Gabon, is also included in the region.

The landscapes of Central Africa are most often wide plateaus, which are smooth in the central part and etched at the periphery. The interior basin of the Congo River is joined to the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow neck traversing ridges parallel to the coast. The basin contains some marshlands in the region where the Congo, Ubangi, Likouala, and Sangha rivers converge and where Lakes Mai-Ndombe and Tumba are found. Its major part, however, consists of drier surfaces (low plateaus or alluvial terraces).

Addressing Of Flight Plan Messages

Transmission Of Messages On An Aerodrome Having A Telecommunications Office.

1- Flights destined for an aerodrome non managed by ASECNA :

- Flight Plan : the organism at which was issued the FPL transmits it as soon as the submission has been executed :

- to the interested Regional Control Centres and Flight Information Centres;

- to the destination aerodrome.

- to the alternate aerodrome if the rerouting must have after the normal hour of aerodrome closing or if some services are not provided on this aerodrome, that only on request. The alternate aerodrome must acknowledge receipt of flight plan to the Flight Information Centre from which it depends.

Message DEP: The message DEP is transmitted to all organisms to which the flight plan has been addressed.

Message ARR

1- On the aerodromes equipped with either an AFIS service, either a CTR, either a TMA limited to a level lower or equal to FL 245 and a ray equal or lower to 80 NM, the aerodrome Control addresses the arrival message ARR to the Flight Information Centre or to the Regional Control Centre from which depends the arrival aerodrome.

In addition to that, when the aircraft landed on an aerodrome another one that the one indicated in the FPL, the message of arrival is addressed then:

- to the destination aerodrome indicated in the FPL

- to the ATS organisms in charge of each of airspaces that, according to the FPL, the aircraft should have performed overflight if it had not been rerouted.

2- On the aerodromes equipped with either an AFIS service, either a CTR, either a TMA limited to a level lower or equal to FL 245 and a ray equal or lower to 80 NM, the aerodrome Control addresses the arrival message ARR to the Flight Information Centre or to the Regional Control Centre from which depends the arrival aerodrome.

In this case, the aerodrome control doesn't transmit any arrival message.

• the interested Regional Control Centers and Flight Information Centers.

Then, the CIV transmits the FPL to :

- the interested CIV

- the destination aerodrome, if this one is equipped with a telecommunications Office.

Classification Of Airspaces

• Terminal control areas (TMA) are class A above flight level 145 and class D below flight level 145.

• Control Zones (CTR) are all class D.

• Form ground/sea to flight level 145 and outside the terminal control areas (TMA) and control zones (CTR), airspaces within ASECNA FIRs are class G.

• From flight level 145 to flight level 195 all ATS routes are class A. Outside ATS routes and outside terminal control.

• areas, airspaces are Class G.

• From flight level 195 to unlimited, all the airspaces within ASECNA FIRs are class A.
