Transfer of control shall take place at the AoR boundary unless otherwise specified in paragraph E.3.
¶ E.2 Transfer of Communications
Transfer of communication shall take place not later than the transfer of control unless otherwise coordinated.
Transfer of CPDLC shall commence concurrently with transfer of voice communications.

¶ E.3 Specific Points for Transfer of Control and Transfer of Communication
Not applicable.
¶ Annex F - ATS Surveillance-Based Coordination Points
¶ F.1 Separation Minima
¶ F.1.1 Radar Separation Minima
The Radar Separation Minima is 5 NM.
¶ F.1.2 Vectoring minimum distance
A minimum distance of 2.5 NM to the boundary line of responsibility shall be observed when vectoring aircraft, except when a transfer of radar control has previously been coordinated.
¶ F.2 Types of Transfer of Control
¶ F.2.1 Transfer of Control without systematic use of direct communication (Silent Transfer of Control)
Transfer of control may be effected without systematic use of bi-directional speech facilities provided the minimum distance between successive aircraft about to be transferred is 10 NM and constant or increasing.
The transferring controller shall inform the accepting controller of any level, speed or vectoring instructions given to aircraft prior to its transfer and which modify its anticipated flight progress at the point of transfer.
Note: When using Mach-number speed control, pilots concerned shall be instructed to report their assigned Mach-number to the accepting ATS Unit upon initial contact.
¶ F.2.2 Termination of Silent Transfer of Control
The accepting controller may terminate the silent transfer of control at any time, normally with advance notice of 10 minutes.
¶ F.2.3 Transfer of Control with use of direct communication
Transfer of control may be effected with the use of bi-directional speech facilities, provided the
minimum distance between the aircraft does not reduce to less than 5 NM, and:
- identification has been transferred to or has been established directly by the accepting controller;
- the accepting controller is informed of any level, speed or vectoring instructions applicable to the aircraft at the point of transfer;
- communication with the aircraft is retained by the transferring controller until the accepting controller has agreed to assume responsibility for providing ATS surveillance service to the aircraft. Thereafter, the aircraft should be instructed to change over to the appropriate frequency and from that point is the responsibility of the accepting controller.
