CICZ PPR Requirements
Prior Permission Required - Channel Island Control Zone PPR

When notified as being in force (Please check NOTAMs and UK AIP), Channel Island Control Zone PPR will be required for ALL traffic inbound to any Channel Island Airfield (or private subsidiary) which will require a SVFR Clearance to operate in the Class A Airspace.

 

A PPR reservation can be made online through this web site. (Click here or on "Online PPR Reservation" on menu bar above.) You will be required to register to use the Online PPR Reservation System and a valid email address is required. Your PPR Reservation number will be emailed to you. Your PPR Reservation Number should be included in field 18 "Other Information" of your flight plan in order to prevent Flight Plan Rejection. i.e. ........RMK/PPR XXXXXX

Users can also retrieve their PPR Reservation number by reviewing their reservation information in the booking calendar post submission.

 

A PPR reservation is made against an Estimated Time of Arrival at the "Channel Island Control Zone Boundary" in the appropriate inbound "Arrival Sector" according to your flight plan route. Please refer to Standard Routes page for additional information.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Channel Island Control Zone PPR identifies arrival sectors specifically for selected Channel Island Airfields. Failure to book the appropriate arrival sector for your destination may lead to Flight Plan rejection, extensive re-routing, excessive holding or possible diversion.

 

UK NPPL holders wishing to visit any of Channel Islands will be required to contact Jersey ATC by telephone in order to secure special permission and routing instructions in order for the flight to remain clear of French Airspace. Please contact the ATC Supervisor on +44 1534 446086 for further information.

 

CICZ PPR is currently not required for SVFR zone transit traffic, however, during peak traffic periods clearance to transit though the CICZ may be withheld and pilots should consider this a possibility during pre flight planning processes to ensure sufficient fuel resources are available to safely route around the Channel Island Control Zone.
