1.2 DURING THEIR FLIGHT, PILOTS SHALL PROMPTLY REPORT TO THE
COMPETENT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL UNIT ANY SPECIAL OCCURRENCES TO AN
AIRCRAFT WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY VOLCANIC ASH.
1.3 IN ADDITION, AIRCRAFT OPERATORS SHALL PROMPTLY REPORT ANY SPECIAL
OCCURRENCES TO AN AIRCRAFT AND/OR THE ENGINES WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN

VOLCANIC ASH, FOLLOWING A RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE AIRLINE WHICH IS
SUPPORTED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER AND WHICH THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF

THE PROVISIONS LAID DOWN IN NFL II 31/10 DATED 1 JULY 2010 (PUBLIC
NOTICE OF THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF CIVIL AVIATION CONCERNING THE
OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT IN AREAS OF LOW CONTAMINATION FROM VOLCANIC
ASH) SHALL ALSO BE ADHERED TO. THIS IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL
AIRCRAFT OPERATORS NOT MENTIONED THERE.

THE IMMEDIATE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE GENERAL ORDER IS ORDERED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 80 PARAGRAPH. 2 SENTENCE 1 NO. 4 OF THE CODE
OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE (VWGO).

A1890/11 (Issued for EDWW EDGG EDMM PART 4 OF 9) -
REASON:
THE PUBLIC ORDER IS BASED ON ARTICLE 29 PARAGRAPH 1 SENTENCES 1 AND 2
OF THE GERMAN AVIATION ACT. ITS AIM IS TO AVERT OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
TO AIR SAFETY AS WELL AS HAZARDS TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND ORDER WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM FLIGHTS OPERATING IN AIRSPACES CONTAMINATED WITH VOLCANIC
AEROSOL (VOLCANIC ASH).
SUCH FLIGHTS MIGHT HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURES OR
LOSS OF POWER IN ONE OR ALL ENGINES, DISPLAY OF UNRELIABLE SPEED AND
NAVIGATION DATA AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. EVEN LOW CONCENTRATIONS
OF VOLCANIC ASH MIGHT AFFECT THE AIRWORTHINESS IN THE MEDIUM OR LONG
TERM. IN THE LIGHT OF THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, ONLY AN ASH
CONCENTRATION BELOW 0.2 MG PER CUBIC METRE IS ASSUMED TO HAVE NO
INFLUENCE ON AVIATION.
ACCORDING TO STANDARDS PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION
ORGANISATION (ICAO) AND TO GERMAN LEGISLATION, THE GERMAN
METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE (DWD) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANALYSING AND
PREDICTING THE CONTAMINATION OF GERMAN AIRSPACE WITH VOLCANIC ASH AND
FOR PUBLISHING THE RELEVANT SIGMETS (ARTICLE 4 PARAGRAPH 1 OF THE LAW
ON THE GERMAN METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE (DWD) OF 10 SEPTEMBER 1998

(FEDERAL LAW GAZETTE (BGBL.) I P. 2871), LAST AMENDED BY ARTICLE
10 OF THE LAW OF 29 JULY 2009 (BGBL. I P. 2424) IN CONJUNCTION WITH
ANNEX 3.4.2 TO THE ICAO CONVENTION OF 7 DECEMBER 1944 (BGBL. 1956 II
P. 0412, 1997 P. 1777)). THE VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATION IS DETERMINED
ON THE BASIS OF CURRENT MEASUREMENTS AND PREDICTIONS DESCRIBING THE
CURRENT SITUATION AS WELL AS THE ATMOSPHERIC SPREAD AND CONCENTRATION
OF VOLCANIC ASH IN THE NEAR FUTURE (ONE TO TWO DAYS).
TO ANALYSE AND PREDICT THE VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATION WITHIN GERMAN
AIRSPACE, THE DWD USES THE LATEST PUBLICATIONS OF THE COMPETENT
VOLCANIC ASH ADVISORY CENTRE (VAAC) IN THE INTERNET AND OF
EUROCONTROL/CFMU.
IF CURRENT QUALITY-CHECKED MEASUREMENTS OR RESULTS OF ALTERNATIVE
SPREAD MODELS FOR THE CONCENTRATION OF VOLCANIC ASH IN AIRSPACE ARE
AVAILABLE, THE DWD WILL EVALUATE THESE AT ITS OWN DISCRETION AND
ADAPT SOME DETAILS OF ITS CONCENTRATION VALUES IN A WAY SUITABLE FOR
DFS DEUTSCHE FLUGSICHERUNG GMBH.
IN THE CASE OF A POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION OF GERMAN AIRSPACE, THE DWD
WILL PUBLISH A SIGMET. IN ADDITION, IT TRANSMITS TO DFS DETAILED
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND DEGREE OF
VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATIONS.

A1890/11 (Issued for EDWW EDGG EDMM PART 6 OF 9) -
THE AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES ORGANISATIONS USE THE SIGMET AND THE
DETAILED INFORMATION ON VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATIONS AS A BASIS TO
CHECK WHETHER AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES CAN BE ISSUED IN LINE
WITH ARTICLE 8 OF THE GERMAN IMPLEMENTATION REGULATION ON AIR
NAVIGATION SERVICES (FSDURCHFUEHRUNGSV) IN CONJUNCTION WITH SECTIONS
1 AND 2 OF THIS GENERAL ORDER.
ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 19 FSDURCHFUEHRUNGSV, DFS PUBLISHES NOTAM
CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE RELEVANT PROCEDURES. ALL PILOTS
MUST COMPLY WITH SIGMET AND NOTAM.
IT SHALL BE CONSIDERED THAT IN AIRSPACES CONTAMINATED WITH VOLCANIC
ASH ACCORDING TO SIGMET AND NOTAM, THE MAXIMUM VOLCANIC ASH
CONCENTRATION IS GIVEN AS AN AIR COLUMN OF DEFINED POWER. THE ACTUAL
CONCENTRATION MIGHT DEVIATE FROM THIS VALUE.
ACCORDING TO SECTION 1, FLIGHTS IN AREAS OF LOW CONTAMINATION ARE
PERMITTED. THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS IMPLY THAT THEY DO NOT
CAUSE SHORT-TERM IMPAIRMENT OF AN AIRCRAFT'S SAFETY OF OPERATION.
THE MANDATORY INFORMATION AND REPORTING PROCEDURES FOR PILOTS AND
AIRCRAFT OPERATORS LAID DOWN IN SECTIONS 1.2 AND 1.3 ONLY SERVE
PREVENTIVE PURPOSES. THE RULE OF CONDUCT GIVEN IN SECTION 1.2

SPECIFIES THE GENERAL REPORTING DUTY LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 20 OF THE
GERMAN AVIATION REGULATION (LUFTVO) IN MORE DETAIL.
SECTION 2.1 LAYS DOWN A FLIGHT BAN FOR AREAS OF MEDIUM OR HIGH
CONTAMINATION. CURRENT SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT SUCH
CONTAMINATION GENERALLY POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO AN AIRCRAFT'S
SAFETY OF OPERATION, IMMEDIATELY AND WITH SHORT-TERM EFFECT. SECTION
2.2 EXCLUDES CERTAIN FLIGHTS FROM THE SCOPE OF THE GENERAL ORDER. THE
FLIGHTS GIVEN IN INDENTS 1 TO 5 ARE TO PREVENT IMMINENT EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS. THIS JUSTIFIES THE CONDUCT OF THESE FLIGHTS. IT CAN BE
ASSUMED THAT THE PILOT, AND THIRD PARTIES, CAN AVOID DISRUPTIONS DUE
TO VOLCANIC ASH IN TIME BY TAKING THE REQUIRED EMERGENCY MEASURES, IF
NECESSARY BY MEANS OF EMERGENCY LANDINGS.
SCIENTIFIC FLIGHTS IN LINE WITH INDENT 6 ARE CONDUCTED UNDER
CONSIDERATION OF THE RELEVANT PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND ARE SUBJECT TO
SPECIAL CONTROL. IN ADDITION, FLIGHTS ACCORDING TO INDENTS 7 AND 8
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE GENERAL ORDER SINCE, ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC
FINDINGS, THE AIR WITH MEDIUM OR HIGH CONTAMINATION FROM VOLCANIC ASH
HAS NO IMMEDIATE EFFECTS ON THE SAFETY OF OPERATION OF THESE

AIRCRAFT. THIS IS DUE TO THEIR SPECIAL TECHNICAL DESIGN. THE STRICTER
REQUIREMENTS FOR FLIGHTS BY TURBOJET AIRCRAFT ACCORDING TO INDENT 9
ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE, DUE TO THEIR DIFFERENT TECHNICAL FEATURES,
THEY ARE MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISRUPTIONS BY VOLCANIC ASH
CONTAMINATION THAN THE OTHERS.
IN ADDITION, IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT RELIEVE
THE PILOT FROM THE DUTY TO ADHERE TO THE GENERAL REGULATIONS AND, IN
EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE, TO DECIDE AD-HOC WHETHER IT IS SAFE ENOUGH TO
CONDUCT A FLIGHT.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.3, THE DUTIES LAID DOWN IN SECTIONS 1.2
AND 1.3 MUST BE OBSERVED MORE THAN EVER. A HIGHER VOLCANIC ASH
CONTAMINATION CONSTITUTES A GREATER HAZARD TO THE SAFETY OF
OPERATION.
SECTION 2.4 SPECIFIES AN ABSOLUTE FLIGHT BAN. ACCORDING TO PROVEN
SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS, VISIBLE VOLCANIC ASH CLOUDS CONSTITUTE AN
IMMEDIATE DANGER TO FLIGHT OPERATIONS.

TO PROVIDE MORE CLARITY, SECTION 3 REFERS TO THE VALIDITY OF NFL II
31/10 DATED 1 JULY 2010 (PUBLIC NOTICE OF THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF CIVIL
AVIATION CONCERNING THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT IN AREAS OF LOW
CONTAMINATION FROM VOLCANIC ASH) IN ITS VALID VERSION. AS THE
AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS ARE INSUFFICIENT, THOSE AIRCRAFT
OPERATORS NOT CONSIDERED ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED TO COMPLY WITH IT.
SECTION 4 ORDERS THE IMMEDIATE ENFORCEMENT OF THE GENERAL ORDER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 80 PARAGRAPH 2 SENTENCE 1 NO. 4 OF THE CODE
OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE (VWGO). IT IS URGENTLY RECOMMENDED IN THE
PUBLIC INTEREST. THIS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE REASON GIVEN ABOVE.
FURTHERMORE, IN SUCH URGENT SITUATIONS, PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE
IMMEDIATE ENFORCEMENT IS GREATER THAN PRIVATE INTEREST IN USING
APPEALS AGAINST THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS GENERAL ORDER UNTIL A
LONG-TERM ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS IS COMPLETED.
THE REVOCATION CLAUSE OF SECTION 5 ENABLES THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF
TRANSPORT, BUILDING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT TO PROMPTLY REACT TO ANY
METEOROLOGICAL CHANGES. GND - UNL END PART 9 OF 9, 23 MAY 16:35 2011 UNTIL 23
