Flights outside designated ATS routes:
Insert points not normally more than 30 minutes flying
time or 200 nautical miles apart, including each point at
which a change of speed or level, a change of track, or a
change of flight rules is planned.
When required by ATS, define the track of flights operat-
ing predominantly in an east-west direction between
70°N and 70°S by reference to significant points formed
by the intersections of half or whole degrees of latitude
with meridians spaced at intervals of 10 degrees of longi-
tude. For flights operating in areas outside those lati-
tudes, define the tracks by significant points formed by
the intersection of parallels of latitude with meridians nor-
mally spaced not to exceed one hour’s flight time. Estab-
lish additional significant points as deemed necessary.
For flights operating predominantly in a north-south direc-
tion, define tracks by reference to significant points
formed by the intersection of whole degrees of longitude
with specified parallels of latitude that are spaced at 5
degrees.
Insert DCT between successive points unless both points
are defined by geographical coordinates or bearing and
distance.
