Flight Plan Changes – November 15th 2012

To support enhanced surveillance and navigation systems used in today’s aviation world, ICAO has defined a number of changes to the standard items of a Flight Plan (FPL) which affect the Flight Plan data and its validation.
In essence, the objectives of these changes are to:

  • Mandate the inclusion of DOF in each Flight Plan
  • Allow Flight Plans to be filed up to 5 days in advance
  • Remove ambiguities in the way that CHG, DLA and other subsidiary messages relate to the flight to which they pertain
  • Allow more detailed specification of the equipment levels, status and other attributes of a flight
  • Systematise the permissible entries in item 18 of a Flight Plan
  • Provide enhanced editorial instructions for an operator filing Flight Plan messages

These changes are scheduled to come into force on November 15th 2012.
