Division 2.5 Definitions of specified cruising levels

2.08 Specified cruising levels
       (1) This Division is for the definition of the following expressions in the CASR Dictionary:
(a) specified IFR cruising level for a track; and
(b) specified VFR cruising level for a track.
       (2) Sections 2.09 and 2.10 prescribe the specified IFR cruising level for an IFR flight on a track.              (3)              Sections 2.09 and 2.10 prescribe the specified VFR cruising level for a VFR flight on a track.

2.09 Specified cruising levels — at or north of 80° south
       (1) Specified cruising levels are those levels set out in Table 2.09 (1), including the effect of any applicable footnote.
       (2) Specified IFR cruising levels for operations at or north of 80° south are as set out in Table 2.09 (1), so that:
(a) for an aircraft track from 000° clockwise to 179°— a specified IFR cruising level is an altitude or a FL mentioned in column 1; and
(b) for an aircraft track from 180° clockwise to 359°— a specified IFR cruising level is an altitude or a FL mentioned in column 3.
       (3) Specified VFR cruising levels for operations at or north of 80° south are as set out in Table 2.09 (1), so that:
(a) for an aircraft track from 000° clockwise to 179°— a specified VFR cruising level is an altitude or a FL mentioned in column 2; and
(b) for an aircraft track from 180° clockwise to 359°— a specified VFR cruising level is an altitude or a FL mentioned in column 4.
       (4) For subsection (2) and (3) cruising levels must be selected by reference to the following:
(a) when operating at or north of 60° south — aircraft magnetic track;
(b) when operating south of 60° south — aircraft grid track.
