POSITION REPORTS AND SPECIAL AIR-REPORTS

1.1  Section 1 is obligatory for position reports and special air-reports, although Items 5 and 6
thereof may be omitted when prescribed in Regional Supplementary Procedures; Section 2 shall
be added, in whole or in part, only when so requested by the operator or his designated represen-
tative, or when deemed necessary by the pilot-in-command; Section 3 shall be included in special
air-reports.
1.2  Special air-reports shall be made whenever any of the phenomena listed under Item 15 are
observed or encountered. Items 1 to 4 of Section 1 and the appropriate phenomenon specified in
Section 3, Item 15, are required from all aircraft. The phenomena listed under "SST" shall be
reported only by supersonic transport at transonic and supersonic cruising levels.
1.3  In the case of special air-reports containing information on volcanic activity, a post-flight
report shall be made on the volcanic activity reporting form (Model VAR). All elements which are
observed shall be recorded and indicated respectively in the appropriate places on the form

1.4  Special air-reports shall be made as soon as practicable after a phenomenon calling for a
special air-report has been observed.
1.5  If a phenomenon warranting the making of a special air-report is observed at or near the
time or place where a routine air-report is to be made, a special air-report shall be made instead.
