IN-2014/174: Altitude Cold Temperature Corrections

We would like to hear from you

The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, please help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Doc 4444 PANS-ATM currently states that ‘when necessary, the relevant minimum vectoring altitude shall include a correction for low temperature effect and it is the responsibility of the Air Traffic Services authority to provide the controller with minimum altitudes corrected for temperature effect’. UK Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures published in CAP 493 (Manual of Air Traffic Services Part 1) do not currently specify procedures for applying such temperature corrections.

Version 2 published to reflect removal of link to CRD.
