FOREWORD

This manual was developed by the North Atlantic Systems Planning Group (NAT-SPG) to assist international general aviation (IGA) pilots with flight planning and operations across the North Atlantic. It is not intended to be a detailed listing of procedures or air regulations of the various States that provide air traffic service in the North Atlantic (NAT) region, and does not in anyway replace the information contained in various national Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP's). Pilots must consult relevant AIRs and Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) when planning the flight and prior to departure.

Appendix 1 provides information on obtaining regulatory publications that may be of assistance to you. This manual is for flight operations above and below minimum navigation performance specifications (MNPS) airspace. If you are going to fly within MNPS airspace, refer to the MNPS Guidance Material.
