(6) other particulars requested by the ATC service or deemed necessary to
report by the air crew.
Article 14
When a foreign civil aircraft having flown across the national boundary of
the People's Republic of China either in exit or in entry is unable to
continue its flight due to weather deterioration, malfunction of the
aircraft or any other special reasons, it is permitted to return by the
original route or air corridor. The flight crew shall, in the meantime,
report the following to the relevant ATC service of the General
Administration of Civil Aviation of China:
- aircraft call sign;
- reason for forced return;
- time beginning to return;
- flight altitude, and
- aerodrome for intended landing.
If no instructions have been received within the territory of the People's
Republic of China from the relevant ATC service of the General
Administration of Civil Aviation of China, the return flight shall
generally take a course of opposite direction at a flight level
immediately below the one originally flown. In case this flight level is
below the minimum safe altitude, the return flight level shall then be
immediately above the one originally flown.
Article 15
No foreign civil aircraft is allowed to fly across the boundary of the
People's Republic of China or to operate therein without having
established radio contact with the relevant ATC service of the General
Administration of Civil Aviation of China.
Article 16
When a foreign civil aircraft making flight within the territory of the
People's Republic of China interrupts its contact with the aeronautical
radio station of the relevant ATC service of the General Administration of
Civil Aviation of China, its crew shall manage to establish contact with
other aeronautical radio stations or other aircraft in flight to relay
aeronautical information. When such effort is of no avail, the flight
shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures: In visual
meteorological conditions, the aircraft shall continue to maintain its
flight in VMC and land at a nearby aerodrome (i.e. the aerodrome of
departure, the intended aerodrome of landing or alternate aerodrome
previously designated by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of
China). The landing should be made in accordance with procedures laid down
in Attachment I, Symbols and Signals used as Means of Auxiliary
Communications, to these Rules.
In instrument meteorological conditions or when a landing at a nearby
aerodrome cannot be made in VMC, the aircraft shall proceed strictly
according to the current flight plan and fly over the NDB of a designated
aerodrome of landing, commencing descent at the estimated time of arrival
specified in the flight plan. The landing should be made within thirty
minutes after ETA in accordance with the normal instrument approach
procedure of the NDB.
In case of radio failure, if the aircraft transmitter is functioning, the
aircraft shall make blind transmission giving the pilot's intention of
continued flight and other flight information. Blind transmission shall
also be made at predetermined time intervals or over the predetermined
reporting points. If, however, the aircraft receiver is functioning, the
aircraft shall keep a continuous listening watch for the instructions from
the aeronautical ground radio station.
Article 17
The visual meteorological conditions for an aircraft operating within the
territory of the People's Republic of China are as follows:
- visibility: not less than 8km;
- vertical distance of aircraft from the cloud base: not less than 300m;
- horizontal distance of aircraft from cloud: not less than 1,500m.
Article 18
The term safe altitude refers to the minimum flight altitude which
ensures an aircraft to avoid collision with surface obstacles.
Over mountainous region and plateau area the safe altitude along an air
route within the territory of the People's Republic of China is 600m above
the highest elevation within 25km on each side of the centre line of the
air route; over areas other than mountainous region and plateau area, the
safe altitude is 400m above the highest elevation within 25km on each side
of the centre line of the air route.
Article 19
A foreign civil aircraft making flight within the territory of the
People's Republic of China shall fly at a specified level or altitude.

are as follows: 0 through 179 degrees (T): from 600m to 6,000m, flight
levels are at intervals of 600m; above 6,000m, they are at intervals of
2,000m.
180 through 359 degrees (T): from 900m to 5,700m, flight levels are at
intervals of 600m; above 7,000m, flight levels are at intervals of 2,000m.
Flight levels are calculated on a specific pressure datum of 760mm height
of mercury and courses are measured from true north at the initial and
turning point of an air route.
Article 20
The flight altitude or flight level for each flight conducted by a foreign
civil aircraft within the territory of the People's Republic of China is
assigned by the relevant ATC service of the General Administration of
Civil Aviation of China. When a foreign civil aircraft finds it necessary
to change its altitude or flight level during flight, no matter what
weather conditions prevails, a clearance must be obtained beforehand from
the relevant ATC service of the General Administration of Civil Aviation
of China.
Article 21
A foreign civil aircraft making flight within the territory of the

indicators, location designators, identifications of radio navigation aids
or geographical coordinates shall be used.
(3) Units of measurement: Distance in metres or kilometres; flight
altitude, elevation and height in metres; horizontal speed and wind speed
in air in kilometres per hour; vertical speed and surface wind speed in
metres per second; altimeter setting in millimetres of mercury or
millibars; temperature in degrees (C); weight in tons or kilograms; time
in hours and minutes (GMT on 24-hour basis beginning from zero hours).
Article 25
A foreign civil aircraft flying within the territory of the People's
Republic of China shall land at an aerodrome designated by the General
Administration of Civil Aviation of China. Prior to landing, a clearance
shall be obtained from the ATC service at the designated aerodrome; after
landing, no take-off is allowed without a clearance. The pilot-in-command
of an aircraft on non-scheduled flight shall, after landing, report to the
ATC service at the aerodrome about the flight conditions within the
territory of the People's Republic of China and shall file an application
for the ensuing flight.
Article 26
The air crew of a foreign civil aircraft shall have completed their
preflight preparation before departure. The pilot-in-command or his
representative shall submit a flight plan to the relevant ATC service of
the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China at least one hour
before the estimated time of departure.
When the departure of an aircraft is delayed more than 30 minutes, the
original flight plan shall be revised, or a new one be submitted.
Article 27
The aerodrome traffic pattern within the territory of the People's
Republic of China is usually of left hand type with a height normally
between 300 and 500 metres. No aircraft is allowed to overtake another
aircraft of the same type or of similar speed when making flight in the
traffic pattern. A longitudinal separation of 2,000 metres or more shall
be maintained and the effect of wake turbulence shall also be taken into
consideration. Only with ATC permission is an aircraft of higher speed
allowed to overtake the slower one on or before down wind leg, and
overtaking shall be made on the outer side of the pattern with a lateral
separation of not less than 500 metres. Except in the case of emergency
landing, no aircraft is allowed to overtake any other aircraft on the
inner side of the traffic pattern.
Aircraft entering the traffic pattern shall obtain prior clearance from
the ATC service at the aerodrome, and entry is to be made along the
direction of the pattern and no crosswise interception is allowed.
Article 28
When a foreign civil aircraft is making a flight at a terminal control
area under visual meteorological conditions, the air crew shall keep a
vigilant watch against possible collision with other aircraft. The pilot-
in-command shall be held responsible if any collision occurs.

When a foreign civil aircraft is taking off from or landing at an
aerodrome within the territory of the People's Republic of China, the
following altimeter setting procedures are to be observed:
(1) At an aerodrome where a transition altitude and transition level are
stipulated: Before take-off: The aircraft altimeter shall be set to the
atmosphere pressure at the aerodrome elevation; upon reaching the
transition altitude the altimeter shall be set to 760mm.
Prior to landing: When an aircraft is passing through a transition level,
the altimeter shall be set to the atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome
elevation.
(2) At an aerodrome where no transition altitude or transition level is
stipulated: Before take-off: The aircraft altimeter shall be set to the
atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome elevation; after take-off when the
aircraft has reached in altitude of 600 metres, the altimeter shall be set
to 760mm.
Before landing: When an aircraft has entered the boundary of a terminal
control area or so instructed by ATC controller, the altimeter shall be
set to the atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome elevation.
(3) At an aerodrome of high elevation:
Before take-off: When the aircraft altimeter cannot be set to the
atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome elevation, it will then be set to
760mm, with the indicated altitude interpreted as zero altitude.
Before landing: When the aircraft altimeter cannot be set to the
atmospheric pressure at the aerodrome elevation, landing is to be made
with the assumed zero altitude notified by ATC controller.
Article 30
When taking off from or landing at an aerodrome within the territory of
the People's Republic of China, a foreign civil aircraft shall observe the
aerodrome weather minima specified by the General Administration of Civil
Aviation of China. No take-off or landing is allowed when the weather
conditions are below the minima. If, in the case of emergency, the pilot-
in-command decides to land below the minima, he shall be held fully
responsible for his decision and all the consequences arising therefrom.
When the weather is extremely poor, the ATC service at the aerodrome shall
close the aerodrome, prohibiting all take-offs and landings.
Article 31
