Work In Progress
¶ Introduction
This OPMAN (Operation Manual) present all the air procedures and rules applicable in the airspace of Madagascar (FMMM FIR). In addition, the airport of Antananarivo (FMMI) are detailed (IFR and VFR procedures).
This document is the responsibility of the HQ ATC department. For any questions/comments, you can contact them via the following e-mail address : a-srdep@ivao.aero

¶ History of modifications

¶ Documentary organization
The OPMAN is divided into 4 parts :
- General rules and procedures (GEN),
This section will address national regulations and requirements, applicable units of measure, and services.
- En-route (ENR),
This section will cover ATS airspace, ATS routes, navigation aids and
systems, and navigation hazards (P, R, D zones, ...).
- Aerodromes (AD).
This section will discuss aerodromes and heliports.
- Annex 1 (separate document) details the lateral boundaries of the FIR, TMA and CTR airspaces.
¶ General Rules and Procedures (GEN)
¶ Visual flight rules
Except for special VFR, VFR flights must be operated in conditions of visibility and distance from cloud.
VFR flight shall not be flown :
- over cities at a height of less than 300m (1000ft),
- at a height of less than 150m (500ft) above ground or water.
VFR flights shall not take off, land, and cross any airspace if :
- the ceiling is less than 450 M (1500 ft),
- the visibility is less than 5KM.
VFR flights are not allowed :
- above FL 150,
- at transonic and supersonic speeds,
- beyond 20 NM from shoreline.
Except for these areas, the overflight height must be 150m (500ft) above the
ground, or ocean.
Unless otherwise authorized, the sending of a flight plan is mandatory. All
boxes (1 to 18) must be completed.
¶ Instrument flight rules
An aircraft in IFR flight in the cruise phase within controlled airspace will use
a cruise level. See Appendix 3 of ICAO Annex 2.
Aircraft in IFR flight, entering a control area to land, will be cleared to the
specified holding point. They will receive instructions from the approach
controller (time, level, next position). These instructions must be respected.
Otherwise, the waiting procedure will be executed.
IFR departures from an uncontrolled aerodrome must contact the Area
Control Center.
The Transition Altitude of Madagasacr FIR is 8000 feet. The first usable flight level
is FL090.
An IFR flight plan must be sent and completed.
Position report are mandatory within the Madagascar FIR outside radar coverafe, pilots shall report
position as specified in 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2 for controlled flight.
¶ ATS airspace classification
ATS airspaces are classified and designated as detailed in ICAO Annex 11,
Chapter 2.6. No specific rules are complementary
¶ Rules of the air
SSR equipment exist on the Madagascar facilities covering 250 NM at FL600 centred on TNV/Ivato.
Primary radars are unable to detect the altitude and speed of an aircraft.
The information given by the AURORA software is only a complementary tool
to know the exact position of the aircraft. ATC manages the flow of traffic
thanks to the pilots' position report (procedural control).
There is no published Minimum (Radar) Vectoring Altitude allowing air traffic
management by "radar vectors". No heading can be provided to ensure safe
obstacle clearance.
Outside the SSR Range, positions reports are mandatory for IFR flights,
Madagascar Control use ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance) system
for surveillance services.
In the Terminal Control Area (TMA), in the Control Zone (CTR) position reports are mandatory for VFR flights.

¶ Local airports regulation
¶ Automatic Terminal Information Service
The ATIS must be completed in English
At the beginning of the session, please fill out the ATIS correctly. The transition altitude (TA) is 8000ft. The transition level (TL) is to be determined according to the QNH. The first usable level is FL090.
There is no preferential runway, however an ILS procedure is available on runway 11. Any special information can be marked in the "remarks" box.
¶ Traffic areas
The tower will assign a gate number to arriving aircraft. General aviation aircraft will be required to use their designated apron area.
Apron 1 is intended for international commercial aviation, Apron 2 for regional commercial aviation and cargo, and Apron 3 for storage.
¶ Aircraft gate management
Located in front of the terminal (Apron 1 & 2), the commercial aviation parking lot has 17 parking spaces for the different categories (see below).
| Gate | Airlines | Aircraft types |
|---|---|---|
| 1A - 9 | Tsaradia - Air France Cargo | AT75 - B77F |
| 21 - 27 | Air Austral - Air Mauritius - Air France | BCS3 – A339 - B77W |
| R1 - R2 | Storage | BCS3 – E190 – B738 |
| S1 - S12 | Storage | BCS3 – E190 – B738 |
¶ Squawk code
For better traffic management in the Madagascar airspace, here are the squawk codes to assign to traffic according to their destination.
Radar SSR services are only available inside Antananarivo’s TMA (250nm centered on TNV VOR). Outside this area positions reports are mandatory.
Position report are mandatory for IFR and VFR within the Madagascar FIR, pilots shall report their position as specified in 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2 for controlled flight.
| Flight | Code |
|---|---|
| Domestic IFR | 1300 - 1377 |
| Transit | 0200 - 0277 |
| VFR | 1200 |

¶ CTR description
Antananarico airport has a class D CTR, starting from the surface, and going up to 600 M ASFC. There are two P area located inside the CTR, and the aerodrome traffic circuit are published left hand turn at 1000ft AGL.
¶ VFR entries, exits, transits in CTR
CTR entries and exits are normally made from the North and from the South East after coordination with the approach controller. VFR transits will pass vertically from the airport at least 500ft above the presume aerodrome traffic patterns altitude (1000ft AGL).
¶ TMA area description
The control sector of Antananarivo represents 2 TMA. The responsible ATC station is the Antananarivo approach.
