Applicability. This rule applies to the fol-

lowing persons:

(a) All U.S. air carriers or commercial op-

erators;

(b) All persons exercising the privileges of

an airman certificate issued by the FAA ex-
cept such persons operating U.S.-registered
aircraft for a foreign air carrier; and

the United States except where the operator
of such aircraft is a foreign air carrier.

Flight prohibition. Except as provided

below, or in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this SFAR,
no person described in paragraph 1 may con-
duct flight operations within the territory
and airspace of Somalia below flight level
(FL) 200.

(a) Overflights of Somalia may be con-

ducted above FL 200 subject to the approval
of, and in accordance with the conditions es-
tablished by, the appropriate authorities of
Somalia.

(b) Flights departing from countries adja-

cent to Somalia whose climb performance
will not permit operation above FL 200 prior
to entering Somali airspace may operate at
altitudes below FL 200 within Somalia to the
extent necessary to permit a climb above FL
200, subject to the approval of, and in accord-
ance with the conditions established by, the
appropriate authorities of Somalia.

Permitted operations. This SFAR does not

prohibit persons described in section 1 from
conducting flight operations within the ter-
ritory and airspace below FL 200 of Somalia
when such operations are authorized either
by another agency of the United States Gov-
ernment with the approval of the FAA or by
an exemption issued by the Administrator.

Emergency situations. In an emergency

that requires immediate decision and action
for the safety of the flight, the pilot in com-
mand of an aircraft may deviate from this
SFAR to the extent required by that emer-
gency. Except for U.S. air carriers and com-
mercial operators that are subject to the re-
quirements of Title 14 CFR parts 119, 121, or
135, each person who deviates from this rule
must, within 10 days of the deviation, ex-
cluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal
holidays, submit to the nearest FAA Flight
Standards District Office a complete report
of the operations of the aircraft involved in
the deviation, including a description of the
deviation and the reasons for it.

Expiration. This Special Federal Aviation

Regulation will remain in effect until fur-
ther notice.

person meets the applicable requirements of
this SFAR.

(b) A person, who does not meet the re-

quirements of this SFAR, may manipulate
