Common questions

Powered by AI

Changes in speed or flight level are documented at the change point using a slash to denote this. The change should be represented by listing the speed and/or level anticipated, following a set protocol. A variation greater than 5% in true airspeed or 0.01 Mach must be indicated .

Using the 'Z' indicator in Item 10 implies certain communication, navigation, or surveillance capabilities not fully covered in standard fields. Thus, in Item 18, such capabilities under 'COM/', 'NAV/', and 'SUR/' should be respectively documented to address these additional equipment and specifications .

For cruise speed, it should be entered with a letter (K for km/h, N for knots, or M for Mach) followed by digits: 4 for km/h or knots, and 3 for Mach. The cruising level is documented as 'F' followed by 3 digits for flight levels or 'A' followed by 3 digits for altitude, adhering to ICA 100-12 standards .

For special status operations like medical emergencies, the flight plan must highlight special treatment tags in ITEM 18. For instance, 'STS/MEDEVAC' followed by relevant remarks ('RMK/') for additional context should be included to indicate the transportation of a vital organ or similar urgent conditions .

When a change in flight rules is anticipated, it must be noted as a specific point in the flight plan. This involves detailing the change point, followed by the new flight rule (either 'VFR' or 'IFR'). For flights using the letter ‘Y’ or ‘Z’ in Item 8, a mandatory notification point for this change is required unless the destination operates only under VFR .

The 'AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION' field in a flight plan requires the use of alphanumeric ICAO telegraphic designators not exceeding 7 characters. Hyphens or other symbols are not allowed. This identifier typically consists of the company designator followed by the flight number or registration mark of the aircraft .

'RSP specifications' refer to Required Surveillance Performance specifications which detail the necessary surveillance capabilities of the aircraft. These are indicated in ITEM 18 under the SUR/ indicator without spaces, but multiple RSP specifications are separated by a space .

When departing from an unlisted airfield, the flight plan must use the 'ZZZZ' code in ITEM 13 and specify in ITEM 18. Options include coordinates in degrees and minutes, the marking and distance from a significant point, or the name or coordinate of the first route point or beacon .

When 'ZZZZ' is indicated in ITEM 13 or ITEM 16, ITEM 18 must include the name of the municipality, Federation Unit (UF), and the specific location of departure or destination with the DEP/ or DEST/ indicators. If relevant aerodrome information is lacking, latitude and longitude coordinates or a reference to the nearest significant point should be included .

For flights involving ADS-B or ADS-C capabilities, specific alphanumeric indicators must be used. ADS-B 'out' is indicated by 'U1', using VDL Mode 4. ADS-B 'in' and 'out' capabilities are marked as 'V2'. For ADS-C, indicators such as 'D1' for FANS1/A capabilities or 'G1' for ATN capabilities should be listed .
