Pacific Ops - HawaiiContingencies If revised clearance cannot be obtained (cont’d): • Following the turn, the pilot should: • If unable to maintain the assigned FL, min. descent rate • Take account of other aircraft being laterally offset from its track; • Acquire and maintain in either direction a track laterally separated by 15 NMfrom the assigned route; and • Once established on the offset track, climb or descend to select a flight level which differs from those normally used by 150 m (500 ft); SVE - International Ops Review

  43. Pacific Ops - HawaiiContingencies If revised clearance cannot be obtained (cont’d): • Establish communications with other aircraft (121.5; 123.45) • Watch for conflicting traffic – Visually and TCAS • Turn on all aircraft exterior lights • Keep the transponder on SVE - International Ops Review
