NEW FLIGHT PLAN |
The following is adopted from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
ICAO Flight Planning modifications for 2012 Are you ready for ICAO 2012 flight plan changes? The amendments to flight plan content announced by ICAO for worldwide implementation in November 2012 go to the very core of flight plan processing. "The nature and scope of the amendment is to update the ICAO model flight plan form in order to meet the needs of aircraft with advanced capabilities and the evolving requirements of automated air traffic management (ATM) systems, while taking into account compatibility with existing systems, human factors, training, cost and transition aspects." |
Significant changes
Significant changes to data structures, in particular in the syntax of flight planning messages, the use of new indications in Europe and the update of Air Traffic Services Data EXchange Presentation (ADEXP) specification as well as the On-Line Data Interchange (OLDI) Specification will affect all systems and some operational procedures. |
Enabler for the use of advanced CNS capabilities
These changes to PANS-ATM are an important enabler for the use of advanced Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) capabilities. They provide the ability to distinguish the traffic on the basis of more specific CNS capabilities allowing improved traffic and flow management processes and procedures enhancing overall network capacity. |
