Technical Landing Permits

Technical landing permits become necessary when an aircraft makes an unscheduled stop in a foreign country. This can occur for various reasons, including refueling, crew changes, or minor repairs. The procedure for applying for a technical landing permit typically involves the following steps:

The first step in applying for a technical landing permit is to determine the location of the unscheduled stop. This will assist you in evaluating the country to which you should submit the application.

The next step involves collecting all the necessary information required for the permit application. This includes information about the aircraft, the crew, and the passengers. Additionally, it encompasses details about the purpose of the technical landing and the expected duration of the stop.

After gathering all the necessary information, you can proceed to submit the application. Submit it to the relevant authorities in the country where you plan to make the unscheduled stop. This may involve submitting the application online, by fax, or by email.

The relevant authorities will review the application once submitted. They will then make a decision regarding whether to grant the technical landing permit. Typically, this process completes, often within 24 hours.

The official document of approved permit must be carried on the aircraft during the technical landing. The permit usually contains information about the approved location, the date and time of landing. It also specifies any conditions or restrictions that you must adhere to.

Some countries may require payment of fees for technical landing permits based on the size of the aircraft or the purpose of the stop. In some cases, you may need to pay them before we issue the permit.

Technical landing permits have a set period of validity. In case of unplanned delay or rescheduled flight time, you might need to get a new permit or extend the one you already have.

Generally, getting technical landing permits is simpler and quicker than getting permits for planned destinations. This is because the stops are typically short and serve a specific purpose. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to make sure you obtain the required permits to guarantee the flight’s safe and legal operation.
