PRIOR PERMISSION REQUIRED (PPR) REQUEST

CLARIFICATION

Aerogare Civil das Lajes wishes to clarify that submission of PPR Form C – Flights requiring LPLA/TER as Alternate Aerodrome, is only required when an air operator plans to use LPLA/TER as alternate aerodrome to the destination aerodrome

Submission of a PPR Form C is not required for a flight having LPLA/TER as ETOPS alternate since the use of LPLA/TER will only occur in an emergency situation.

1. The PPR request processing is under the responsibility of the Operations Department of Aerogare Civil das Lajes. PPR Requests shall be addressed to:
[email protected] – Operations Department
