Avoiding a VCA
In-Flight Diversions
If due weather or other factors, a change to your pre-planned route is required, be cautious as this situation has historically led to VCA occurrences. If you require assistance with an in-flight diversion or a clearance request, contact ATC as soon as this is recognised. |
Whenever practicable, anticipate the need for a diversion well in advance, plan what you need to do and don’t corner yourself into a bad situation by not requesting an airways clearance. ATC are there to help!
