Description:

CZ 06 156 EN

On 11 May 2006 Czech Republic Air Accident Investigation Institute (AAII) received notification from the Air Traffic Control Centre of the Czech Republic of an incident involving a Beech 33 Bonanza airplane. The pilot of the plane, which was on the VFR flight from GERA – Leumnitz (EDAJ) to Bratislava (LZIB), entered FIR Praha without establishing contact with its respective ATC unit. North of the point of Rakovník at a level of 5500 ft he flew into TMA IV LKPR and then TMA II LKPR, without establishing prescribed two-way contact with his respective air traffic control centre (APP Praha), penetrating the control area of class C. The flight information centre failed to establish two-way communication with the unidentified airplane, which had entered FIR Praha before penetrating TMA IV LKPR. The pilot of the plane reported himself on the flight information centre frequency only after he had passed TMA III LKPR. Then he followed ATS instructions and continued flying under VFR to the destination aerodrome. Based on the notification, an investigation into the incident began.
