Chapter 16

Aircraft Operations

The following procedures have been established for the purpose of increasing the

safety of flight operations conducted by UNHAS (United Nations Humanitarian Air

Services). It is important for flight safety and operations in general that these

procedures are followed by all personnel involved.

Both aircraft and UNHAS ground stations will report all movement and operations

normal reports direct to the radio room responsible for UNHAS aircraft safety.

Callsigns

Callsigns are selected according to the UN system. Aircraft will use their assigned

callsign.

Example: UNR001W.

During all communications, UNHAS radio rooms will use their assigned UN

callsigns.

Example: JAV (UNHAS Amman).

Note: There are other UN radio stations operating HF radios in any given region.

UN radio room frequencies may be used by aircraft and/or UNHAS radio rooms to

relay messages in the event the UNHAS frequencies are unworkable. A complete list

of UN radio rooms, frequencies, and callsigns for a particular aircrafts operating area,

will be carried in all aircraft as well as published in the UNHAS radio room.
