Single-engine route approval — City Tour / NAJD routesAsked 12 Sep 2026 · 17 days pending

Requested: single-engine approval for the NAJD 4 extension (DR-14, BLVD-1, BLVD-2, MRBA), NAJD 6, NAJD 7 and RYA 5 in full (KA to MALHAM). Also asked: whether the Single/Multi-Engine designation on the published Riyadh UVR 25K chart itself carries the single-engine authorisation.

Two-fold. (1) Request that GACA progress the single-engine route approval for the City Tour routes, now that they are published. (2) Ask whether that separate approval is still required at all: the Riyadh UVR 25K chart legend differentiates a Single/Multi-Engine Aircraft Route from a Multi-Engine Aircraft Route, and the NAJD routes are drawn in the single/multi-engine colour — so does the AIP publication itself carry the single-engine authorisation?
