5. Transfer Procedures

5.1 Transfer of Control

Due to the location of Bahrain and direction of some flights not all aircraft will be transferred to the en-route controller as they will not enter their airspace. Some flights will be transferred to adjacent approach units or en-route positions.

The Approach Controller should be aware of which controller an aircraft needs to be transferred to based on the lateral and vertical limits of the airspace and the adjacent control unit.
