¶ Introduction
This OPMAN (OPeration MANual) presents all the air procedures and rules applicable in the airspace of Mauritius (FIMM FIR).
In addition, the airports of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (FIMP) and Plaine Corail Airport (FIMR) are detailed (IFR and VFR procedures). Some country airfields are also presented (not exhaustive).
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

¶ Documentary organization
The OPMAN is divided into 3 mains 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.
And three annexes :
- ANNEX 1 : Quick Handle Memo of the FIR
This annex will summaries all important information needed while controlling.
- ANNEX 2 : FRA restrictions inside the FIR and laterals limits
This annex while present every different position in the FIR and the FRA associated, and the laterals limits of airspaces
- ANNEX 3 : List all the LoA concerning the FIR
This annex will list all the LoA – if existing – in the FIR.
¶ 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 FL200,
- at transonic and supersonic speeds,
- beyond 20 NM from shoreline.
Unless authorized by ATS, VFR flights will only be conducted below FL200.
Except for operational purposes (take-off, landing), no VFR flights will be conducted below 300m (1000ft) of height from heavily populated areas ; within a radius of 600m.
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 Mauritius FIR is 4 000 feet. The first usable flight level is FL060.
An IFR flight plan must be sent and completed.
Position report are mandatory within the Mauritius FIR, 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.
IVAO Documentation about this : Airspace_classification
¶ Rules of the air
It is forbidden to fly over the cities of Port-Louis at less than 3500 ft, except for take-off and landing.
SSR equipment does not exist on the Mauritius facilities, only ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance). The special measures for this equipment are not taken into account.
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.
In the Terminal Control Area (TMA), in the Control Zone (CTR) position reports are mandatory for VFR flights.
Position report shall contain :
a) Aircraft identification
b) Position
c) Time
d) Flight level or altitude
e) Next position and time over
f) Ensuing significant point

¶ 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 4 000ft. The transition level (TL) is to be determined according to the QNH. The first usable level is FL060.
There is no preferential runway, however an ILS procedure is available on runway 14. Any special information can be marked in the "remarks" box.

For better traffic management in the Mauritius airspace, here are the squawk codes to assign to traffic according to their destination.
There is no radar installation inside the Mauritius FIR, all ATCs services are done procedurally, and squawk can stay on 2000 during the flight.
Position report are mandatory for IFR and VFR within the Mauritius FIR, pilots shall report their position as specified in 3.6.3 of ICAO Annex 2 for controlled flight.
| Flight | Code |
|---|---|
| Domestic IFR | 0500 - 0577 and 0600 - 0677 and 0700 - 0777 |

¶ CTR description
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam airport has a class C CTR, starting from the surface, and going up to 3 500ft AMSL. One P area is located inside the CTR, and the aerodrome traffic circuit is not published.
¶ VFR entries, exits, transits in CTR
CTR entries and exits are normally made from the North and from the 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 (1 000ft AGL).
¶ TMA area description
The control sector of Mauritius represents one TMA. The responsible ATC station is the Mauritius approach.

¶ Local airport 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 3 000ft. The transition level (TL) is to be determined according to the QNH. The first usable level is FL060.
There is no preferential runway, and both runways have the same type of approaches.
¶ Traffic areas
The Tower will assign a gate number to arriving aircraft.
¶ Aircraft gate management
Located in front of the terminal the commercial aviation parking lot has 2 parking spaces for the different categories (see below).
| Stand | Airlines | Aircraft types |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 2 | Air Mauritius - Ewa Air | AT75 - AT76 |
¶ Squawk code
For better traffic management in the Mauritius airspace, here are the squawk codes to assign to traffic according to their destination.
