ARGENTINA 1
CHAPTER 1 Definitions
Air traffic control clearance. The word “autorización” (“clearance”) is replaced by the word “permiso” with the same meaning. Approach control office. Not established within our national jurisdiction. The approach control service is provided by the aerodrome control tower or area control centre, as prescribed in the regulations in force. Flight information centre. Not established within our national jurisdiction. Flight information and alerting services are provided by air traffic control units within and outside controlled airspace. Pilot-in-command. Argentina prefers to use the term “aircraft commander” in accordance with the terminology used in its legislation.
CHAPTER 2 2.1.2
Argentina, having agreed through international air navigation agreements to provide ATS and SAR over the high seas in airspace corresponding to the FIR under its jurisdiction, applies the Standards and procedures in exactly the same way as within its territorial airspace.
2.15
Argentina abides by the arrangements that operators wish to make to obtain the information concerned, budgeted as a supplementary service and therefore subject to special agreed procedures.
2.18.2 2.18.3
No electronic aeronautical data system is available.
2.18.5
Not applied.
CHAPTER 3 3.6.1.3.1
Argentine documentation and regulations will continue to require that a pilot have established visual contact with the ground and have the aerodrome or runway in sight. Remark. The aircraft should not be transferred to the tower if this requirement has not been met.
3.6.1.3.2
Argentine documentation and regulations will continue to permit the aircraft to be transferred to the unit providing approach control service prior to entering the runway to be used for take-off. Remark. The tower should transfer control of the aircraft before it enters the runway if the latter is not visible to the ATC unit.
3.8.1
The national flight regulations (No. 79.1) include this Standard as a relative responsibility, in view of the fact that due to the distance involved, the reduced speed of taxiing aircraft and other factors, the pilot-incommand of an aircraft is often in a more favourable position than those in charge of control.
Appendix 2 3.6
The determination and reporting of significant points in WGS-84 are kept as a Recommendation rather than a Standard.

CHAPTER 1 Definitions
Approach control unit. The term “approach control unit” is not used; instead, the term “terminal control centre (TMC)” is used to designate a unit established to provide air traffic control service to controlled flights arriving at, or departing from, one or more aerodromes.
CHAPTER 2 2.3.2
Aerodrome flight information service (AFIS) is provided at several non-controlled aerodromes as published in AIP-SWEDEN. Remark. AFIS, as well as AFIS units, has been established for many years as published in AIP-SWEDEN. AFIS is generally provided in conformance with the guidance material contained in ICAO Circular 211.
2.6
Within Class G airspace, traffic information areas (TIA) and traffic information zones (TIZ) are established at several non-controlled aerodromes where AFIS is provided. These airspaces are described in AIP-SWEDEN and defined as follows: Traffic information area (TIA). An uncontrolled airspace of defined dimensions extending upwards from a specified limit above the earth within which traffic information is provided by an ATS unit in accordance with special regulations. Traffic information zone (TIZ). An uncontrolled airspace of defined dimensions extending upwards from the surface of the earth to a specified upper limit within which traffic information is provided by an ATS unit in accordance with special regulations. Remark. These airspace designations were implemented several years before the publication of ICAO Circular 211. It has not been considered that there is enough justification to change the airspace designation to “flight information zone” as recommended in the circular.

An uncontrolled airspace of defined dimensions extending upwards from the surface of the earth to a specified upper limit within which traffic information is provided by an ATS unit in accordance with special regulations. Remark. These airspace designations were implemented several years before the publication of ICAO Circular 211. It has not been considered that there is enough justification to change the airspace designation to “flight information zone” as recommended in the circular.
2.21
Minimum flight altitudes have not been determined for ATS routes; however, for ATS routes within SUECIA CTA, published lower limits provide minimum clearance above the controlling obstacle located within the area concerned. In terminal control areas, minimum sector altitudes are applied as minimum flight altitudes; in addition, minimum vectoring altitudes have been established.

SUPPLEMENT TO ANNEX 11 (THIRTEENTH EDITION) Remark. Determining minimum flight altitudes for ATS routes is considered superfluous since all ATS routes have their lower limits at FL 95 or higher, which is well above terrain and obstacles within Swedish territory. Within TMAs, minimum sector altitudes and minimum vectoring altitudes are considered sufficient.
2.24.4
Aerodrome control towers normally provide pilots with the correct time on request only. Remark. Since modern clocks and watches are considered very reliable and several methods are available to pilots to verify the correct time prior to departure, and also in order to reduce the load on control tower radio frequencies, routine provision of the correct time has been deleted.
Appendix 4
Within Class E airspace, during hours of darkness, VFR flights are subject to air traffic control service and separated from IFR and other VFR flights; dual radio communication and ATC clearance are required. Remark. To enhance flight safety in Class E airspace during hours of darkness (night).

Not applied to arriving aircraft. Remark. The reason for this difference is that where approach control and aerodrome control services are not provided by the same unit, this procedure could be dangerous because of the possibility of a sudden incursion into the runway with approach control not learning of the incursion in time to communicate with the aircraft that is landing.
