Airway Offsets

• Be Prepared for Airway Offsets

• Offsets normally are Right of Track

• Offsets can be 2-7 miles offset

• Offsets are not optional

• PARKING LIMITATIONS THROUGHOUT CHINA

S Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport / ZSSS

Parking is getting worse and traffic is increasing

• The nearest parking position will take 30

minutes

• Quite often it takes an hour for parking at the

remote position, such as Apron N2 and Apron

M.

• It will save time if the passengers disembark at

a position near the parking stand

• However, the passenger will take some time to

get to the FBO

Parking

• Since the situation at the airports is getting more complex and

the agent has to do more coordination • The handling agent plays a key role in

ground handling • More handling agents are appearing • NOT ALL EXPERIENCED WITH GA OPS • Check if your handling agent is professional and experienced • Agents with a longer history are stronger and more reliable

Handling Agent

Customs and Immigration Incorrect Information

Incorrect crew / passenger information may cause a delay and penalty at airports such as:

– Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport / ZUUU

– Kunming Wujiaba International Airport / ZPPP


If the list of names sent to security department is incorrect, a correct one is required before they let the aircraft go.

At some airports, the CIQ is very strict, any mistake on the name info will

likely receive a penalty at airports such as:

– Tianjin Binhai International Airport/ ZBTJ

– Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport/ ZSJN

– Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport/ ZGSZ

Customs and Immigration

Passports

• If the passengers have two or

more passports, they must use the

one with Chinese visa • If the passport (with Chinese visa) is expired, please let your

agent know in advance and provide the new passport info • Do not forget to bring with you the expired passport

with valid Chinese visa


General Declaration (GENDEC) and International Arrival

• On international arrival into China, the crew must provide a

General Declaration form (GENDEC) stamped by Customs

of last stop airport.

• Without the stamped GENDEC, it may delay

passenger/crew check in; even worse you could be fined.

• On international arrival, do not open the cabin door. Until it

has been indicated to you to do so.

• If door is opened before customs gets there, you will

likely have a problem.


Visas - Crew

• In principle, crew must have C-type visa

• If crew member who holds a C-visa wants to take commercial to

leave or arrival China. • His handling agent should issue an official letter to airport

immigration to explain the reason – Plan this ahead of time.

• Otherwise, they will likely not be allowed to leave by

commercial. Maybe you won’t get into trouble even you fail to observe the

above rules.

But when the lucky star is not with you, then it will be a big

problem.


Visas - Passengers

• Passengers can stay in China 72 hours without visa.

• Currently this policy applies to:

– Beijing Capital International Airport / ZBAA

– Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport / ZSSS

– Shanghai Pudong International Airport / ZSPD


– Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport / ZUUU

– Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport / ZUCK

• If you have a passenger coming to China without a visa, you need to

double check with your agent to confirm there is no problem. • In principle, this rule is not applicable to crew.

Crew Visas

• VISAS – 5 year Multiple Entry Crew Visas are

available now in certain Visa Offices in the US for

US Passports.

• Check with your VISA Support Company

Fuel

• The fuel agent is responsible to check

handling agent to follow up with the

fuel agent at your destination.

• It is recommended to fuel on Arrival

to expedite your departure. • Credit card or a fuel card may not be

acceptable.

Cultural Checklist (Part 1)

Please develop a working knowledge of Chinese culture

Communicating Bowing or nodding is the common greeting; however, you may be offered a handshake. Wait for your host to offer their hand first. Applause is common when greeting a crowd; the same is expected in return. Introductions are formal. Use formal titles. Often times our host will use a nickname to assist Westerners. Being on time is vital in China.

• China is the oldest continuous civilization

• The checklist is advisory only, for communicating, appearance,

behaviors and manners

http://www.cyborlink.com/besite/china.htm




















Cultural Checklist

Appointments are a must for business. Bring several copies of all written documents for your meetings. The decision making process may be slow. You should not expect to conclude your business swiftly. Present and receive cards with both hands. Never write on a business card or put it in your wallet or pocket. Carry a small card case. The most important member of your company or group should lead important meetings. Your hosts value rank and status. Allow your host(s) to leave a meeting first.

Cultural Checklist

Appearance

Conservative suits for men with subtle colors are the norm. Women should avoid high heels and short sleeved blouses, Revealing clothing for women may be considered offensive to Chinese businessmen. Subtle, neutral colors should be worn by both men and women. Casual dress should be conservative as well. Men and women can wear jeans. However, jeans are not acceptable for business meetings.

Cultural Checklist

Do not use large hand movements, it may may be distracting to your host as they do not do it. Personal contact must be avoided. It is highly inappropriate for a man to touch a woman in public. Do not point when speaking, to point do not use your index finger, use an open palm. It is considered improper to put your fingers in your mouth Avoid acts that involve the mouth Gift giving is a very delicate issue in China - See international business gift giving. If giving a gift to a government official, be cognizant of OFAC laws It is more acceptable to give gifts either in private or to a group as a whole to avoid embarrassment. The most acceptable gift is a banquet and quality writing pens as considered favored gifts.

Cultural Checklist

Behavior and Manners Do not give clocks, straw sandals, handkerchiefs or anything White, Blue or Black as they are all associated with death! Always arrive on time or early if you are the guest. Do not discuss business at meals or start to eat or drink prior to the host. As a cultural courtesy, you should taste all the dishes you are offered. Sample meals only, there may be several courses. Never place your chopsticks straight up in your bowl. By placing your sticks

upright in your bowl your will remind your host of joss sticks which connotes death. Try not to drop the chopsticks it is considered bad luck. Do not eat all of your meal. If you eat all of your meal, it will be considered you did not receive enough food and are still hungry. Women do not usually drink at meals. Tipping is considered insulting, however the practice is becoming more common.
