This AIP SUP supersedes SUP 01/21
1.1 The purpose of this AIP Supplement is to inform users of the upper airspace of the Lima FIR about the implementation of the ASBU element FRTO B0 / 1 - Direct Routing (DCT), based on the Sixth Edition of the Global Air Navigation Plan of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in accordance with the procedures described below, called Strategic Direct Routing (SDR).
2.1 In the last 10 years, a complete restructuring of the ATS route network of the South American Region (SAM) has been carried out, which has contemplated the realignment and / or elimination of inefficient routes, as well as, the implementation of new routes, which resulted in a more direct and optimized fixed route structure.
2.2 The implementation of SDR constitutes a natural evolution in the optimization of the use of airspace towards a concept of Airspace with Free Routes (Free Route Airspace - FRA), as foreseen by the National Air Navigation Plan of Peru (PNNA) - Volume III and the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP).
2.3 The Peruvian State, as an initiative to support the reactivation of air operations, has designated a volume in the upper oceanic airspace of the Lima FIR (see Annex 1) for the application of SDR.
2.4 SDR application has been established to offer users additional options in the selection of more efficient paths/ routes, and optimize flight planning and fuel consumption, through the presentation of flight plans (FPL) with direct routes between entry / exit points of the Lima FIR.
2.5 Provisions must be made by each operator that submit a FPL with DCT routes to guarantee the operational safety of the flight, as well as with strict compliance with the Peruvian regulations applicable to dangerous, prohibited, and restricted areas published in the AIP PERU.

4.1 Application area
4.1.1 SDR is applied from flight level 250 in the area between the following waypoints (see Annex 1)
4.1.2 All aircraft must leave/enter the Lima FIR through the points bordering the Guayaquil FIR or Antofagasta FIR.
4.1.3 Its is required that ATS surveillance systems and VHF communications in both directions are operational for the application of SDR.
4.1.4 SDR will not be applied in case of partial or total ATS contingency.
4.2 Flight plans
4.2.1 Flight level: The Table of Cruising Levels established in Appendix G of RAP 91 (Appendix 3 of Annex 2 ICAO) must be applied.
4.2.2 The route entered in Item 15 of the flight plan form (FPL) must be defined by published waypoints or coordinates (LAT / LONG). The maximum recommended distance between direct waypoints should not exceed 400 nautical miles. If coordinates are used, the format of degrees and minutes will be used, for example: 1036S08044W
4.2.3 To facilitate the planning of flights between waypoints with distance greater than 400 nautical miles, the following waypoints are provided:

4.2.3 To facilitate the planning of flights between waypoints with distance greater than 400 nautical miles, the following waypoints are provided:
4.2.4 Departing flight plans from Jorge Chavez International Airport (SPJC) using Standard Instrument Departure (SID):
- RWY 16R/16L RNAV ITAVU 2F PISCO – ILMAR TRANSITIONS.
- RWY 34R/34L RNAV ITAVU 2G PISCO – ILMAR TRANSITIONS.
- RWY 16R/16L RNAV TELEB 1F ISREN – ATATU TRANSITIONS; or
- RWY 34R/34L RNAV TELEB 1G ISREN – ATATU TRANSITIONS. They must maintain the assigned SID until ITAVU or TELEB waypoints, then apply DCT. See Figure Nº 1.
They must maintain the assigned SID until ITAVU or TELEB waypoints, then apply DCT. See Figure Nº 1.
4.2.5 Arrival flight plans to Jorge Chavez International Airport (SPJC) apply DCT until the start of standard arrival route -STAR (ATATU, SCO or ILMAR), then continue via the assigned STAR. See Figure Nº 2.
