The airspace below the lateral boundaries of the Johannesburg and Waterkloof TMAs, excluding promulgated controlled airspace and flying training areas will be declared a special rules area - JOHANNESBURG SPECIAL RULES AREA.
NOTE: Due to the nature of their operations Traffic Patrol helicopters have been granted dispensation to operate over the Greater Johannesburg area, as and when required, without complying with the recommendations in so far separation below the Johannesburg TMA. Frequent PSN reports will be made by the helicopters involved in the above mentioned operations. Times of operations will normally be between 0430-0800 UTC and 1400 -1530 UTC DLY.
The Buffer Zone extends from a point on the Rand ATZ, South and East of the Johannesburg CTR to a point on the Waterkloof CTR. The co-ordinates related to this Buffer Zone are as follows:
All aircraft wishing to enter the Buffer Zone must communicate with Johannesburg Information on 119.5MHz between the hours of 0430 - 1600 UTC and between the hours of 1600 - 0430 UTC must communicate with Johannesburg Area on 126.7MHz
Pilots are advised to communicate with Johannesburg Information on 127.4MHz should they have no reply on 119.5MHz when trying to establish contact with them during their stipulated HOD as mentioned.
The Buffer zone is situated within 3NM of the Johannesburg CTR and its vertical limits are calculated from ground to 7500 feet altitude. It extends from a point on the Rand ATZ, South and East of the Johannesburg CTR to a point on the Waterkloof CTR. Traffic routing outside of the Buffer Zone while flying in the special rules area, and routing from west to east or vica versa, need to identify the following landmarks as visual reference points which includes an approximate distance outlining the boundary extremity of the Buffer Zone in order to remain clear of this airspace.
NOTE - Items 1 and 7 listed below indicate the beginning of the Buffer Zone which borders on the Johannesburg CTR boundary extremity:
The Kyalami VFR route was established to address the safety issues within the corridor between the Lanseria CTR and the Waterkloof CTR/Swartkop ATZ that were highlighted through various forums.
Rules applicable within the Johannesburg Special Rules Area, as published in AIP ENR Paragraph 5, are still applicable and must be complied with.
Traffic unable to comply with this procedure must operate at or below 6500FT ALT (FAOR QNH), clear of controlled airspace and in compliance with CAR 91.06.31 i.r.o Minimum Heights.
Northbound Routing
Northbound traffic on magnetic tracks between 270 DEG and 089 DEG must operate at 7500FT ALT (FAOR QNH) and within 1NM on either side of a track defined by the following route:
From Sandton City Tower (2606.3S 02803.1E) route direct to Kyalami Race Track (2559.6S 02803.5E) then direct to Attridgeville (2547.9S 02803.3E).
Southbound Routing
Southbound traffic on magnetic tracks between 090 DEG and 269 DEG must operate at 7000FT ALT (FAOR QNH) and within 1NM on either side of a track defined by the following route:
From Attridgeville (2547.9S 02803.3E) route direct to Kyalami Race Track (2559.6S 02803.5E) then direct to Sandton City Tower (2606.3S 02803.1E)
Caution: 1. Pilots are reminded to exercise greater vigilance and accident avoidance techniques due to the increased accuracy of navigation through the use of GPS and increased traffic normally associated with defined routes and landmarks.
The airspace below the Durban TMA, excluding that part of the Virginia ATZ, the airspace below Durban TMA G and all Restricted Areas (FAR’s), Prohibited Areas (FAP’s) and Danger Areas (FAD’s), is declared as a Special Rules Area and termed as the DURBAN SPECIAL RULES AREA.
This is to promote safety, efficiency and orderliness in the Durban Special Rules Area.
All aircraft operating in the Durban Special Rules Area shall maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on frequency 124.2MHz.
By virtue of the fact that uncontrolled VFR aircraft are to remain below the Durban TMA radar separations and information provided to aircraft operating within the Durban TMA, will only take known identified targets into account.
For the information of those aircraft operating within the Durban TMA, unidentified unknown targets, performing as expected for general aviation within the confines of the Durban Special Rules Area will be deemed to be separated from aircraft operating within the Durban TMA, by procedures as opposed to radar.
Pilots operating below the Durban TMA should therefore ensure that they do not exceed the applicable altitude restriction as stipulated on SRA routings and also to remain at least 500FT below the TMA whilst flying below the Durban TMA.
Pilots are requested to squawk transponder code 2000 at all times with altitude selected. Helicopters to squawk 2600 also with altitude selected.

Mandatory VFR/IFR routings are implemented in the LASS airspace, between the Kruger and Hoedspruit TMA.
This is to promote safety, efficiency and orderliness in this part of the LASS airspace. All aircraft operating in this airspace shall maintain a listening watch and make regular position reports to LASS on frequency 119.0MHz.Pilots shall squawk 2000, Mode C, at all times. The following routes will be applicable in the airspace described above.
All traffic transiting this area, must be in contact with Lowveld or broadcast on the appropriate frequency, outside of the hours of duty of LASS.
The airspace below the East London TMA, excluding that part of the Bhisho General Flying Area (FAD191), Port Alfred General Flying Area (FAD192) and FABE CTR, which falls below the East London TMA, is declared as a Special Rules Area and termed as the EAST LONDON SPECIAL RULES AREA.
This is to promote safety, efficiency and orderliness in the East London Special Rules Area.
All aircraft operating in the East London Special Rules Area should maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on FREQ 125.2MHz
By virtue of the fact that uncontrolled VFR aircraft are to remain below the East London TMA radar separations and information provided to aircraft operating within the East London TMA, will only take known identified targets into account.
For the information of those aircraft operating within the East London TMA, unidentified unknown targets, performing as expected for general aviation within the confines of the East London Special Rules Area will be deemed to be separated from aircraft operating within the East London TMA, by procedures as opposed to radar.
Pilots operating below the East London TMA should therefore ensure that they do not exceed the applicable altitude restriction as stipulated on SRA routings and also to remain at least 500FT below the TMA whilst flying below the East London TMA
Pilots are encouraged to squawk 2000 at all times.

GENERAL
The following information and procedures applies to the airspace box around Contermanskloof airfield located inside the Northern boundary of the FACT CTR.
The airspace below the George TMA, excluding area below TMA E and that part of the Oudtshoorn ATZ below TMA F, will be declared as a Special Rules Area and termed as the GEORGE SPECIAL RULES AREA.
To prevent frequency congestion and to promote safety, efficiency and orderliness in the George Special Rules Area, the area will be divided into two sectors, to be known as the Western and Eastern Sectors, for Traffic Information Broadcast by Aircraft (TIBA).
The dividing line between the sectors is the line that runs as follows:
The Western Sector between R250 GRV, clockwise to R030 GRV, this includes FAMO.
The Eastern Sector between R030 GRV, clockwise to R250 GRV.
All aircraft operating in the Western Sector of the Special Rules Areas should maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on frequency 124.2MHz.
All aircraft operating in the Eastern Sector of the Special Rules Areas should maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on frequency 124.8MHz.
The George CTR and FAR150 are excluded from the George Special Rules Area.
By virtue of the fact that uncontrolled VFR aircraft are to remain below the George TMA radar separations and information provided to aircraft operating within the George TMA, will only take known identified targets into account.
For the information of those aircraft operating within the George TMA, unidentified unknown targets, performing as expected for general aviation within the confines of the George Special Rules Area will be deemed to be separated from aircraft operating within the George TMA, by procedures as opposed to radar. Pilots operating below the George TMA should therefore ensure that they do not exceed the applicable altitude restriction as stipulated on SRA routings and also to remain at least 500 FT below the TMA whilst flying below the George TMA. Pilots are requested to squawk transponder code 2000 at all times with altitude selected. Helicopters to squawk 2600 also with altitude selected.
The following routes will be applicable in the George Special Rules Area:
Transiting, seawards of the coastline through the George CTR:
All VFR traffic wishing to route seawards of the coastline, through the George CTR, are to remain seawards of the coast line, not above 1000 FT ALT. VFR traffic, transiting through the George CTR is then deemed to be separated from departing and arriving traffic at George Aerodrome.
All transiting traffic is regarded as circuit traffic, thus reduced separation minima can be applied, in the vicinity of the aerodrome.
The clearance shall only be valid during daylight hours, in VMC operations, in communication with ATC and the aircraft shall be transponder equipped.
Pilots to comply with the Aviation Legislation, as described in General Operating and Flight Rules in Part 91.06.8, regarding following line features.

SIGNIFICANT POINTS:
The Swaziland CAA has acknowledged that the AFI Region and ATM community in general stands to gain greater benefits from the introduction of the new integrated ICAO CNS/ATM Systems.
In order to ensure a cost effective, operationally orientated implementation of the integrated ICAO CNS/ATM System in Swaziland, the approach and strategy contained in the AFI Doc 003 was adopted, for use and compliance by the Swaziland CAA.
In order to achieve the above, the upper Swaziland airspace was delegated to South Africa for management by ATNS.
The purpose of this document is to inform users that the Swaziland upper airspace i.e. the Matsapha TMA from FL195 and above will be delegated to South Africa for management by ATNS and controlled by Johannesburg Area Control. The sovereignty of the Swaziland airspace will not be compromised.
Note: Johannesburg Area Control (ACC South East) will only be operational during published hours of duty. Outside these hours of duty Matsapha Approach Control will transfer traffic to Johannesburg Area Control (ACC North East) 128.9 MHz or Johannesburg Area Control (ACC South West) 128.3 MHz.
The airspace delegation definition is as follows: Matsapha TMA
