PART III: OPERATIONAL CHARGESSec. 1. Basis — Operational charges for the use of the enroute and airport/terminal navigation facilities and services provided as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) exclusive of telecommunication services for Class “B” messages of the aeronautical fixed services, shall be based on each arrival, departure or overflight.
For purposes of this Section, one flight shall mean from one point of departure to one point of arrival.
Sec. 2. Overflight — A charge in U.S. Dollar or its Peso equivalent at the time of payment based on the derived formula for calculating Air Navigation Charges (ANC) which is equal to the distance (D) flown by an aircraft in kilometer divided by one hundred (100) and multiplied by its weight factor (W). The distance (D) flown for overflights, however, as a basis of computation shall not exceed 1,100 kilometers.
ANC (U.S. $) = D/100 x W
The weight factor (W) was determined to have the following values:
| MTOW | Weight Factor (W) |
| | |
| More than 300 tonnes | 43 |
| 200-300 tonnes | 36 |
| 100-200 tonnes | 28 |
