- •If you fly in either direction outside the given times you will be having to fly a random route, more on that later.
- •I will explain the structure of the tracks using tracks d and u from the day's tracks.
- •In our examples these naRs are n162b and n164b for Track d and n55b and n59a for Track u. To find out which of the naRs are the most efficient to use you should consult the Jeppesen table

No matter which FIRs of oceanic airspace you cross, the procedure is always the same Conclusion
This should cover most of the essentials. This guide shall by no means substitute the standing procedures, but I hope it simplifies them a bit.
For the more seasoned flyers amongst you, I have not addressed the Datalink system in this guide for two reasons:
Beginners should be familiar with voice first.
The Datalink system was highly unreliable at time of Print of this guide and it is to be redeveloped in the near future.
The Datalink system should be used with a good pinch of salt and should there be any doubt about the message returns, you should call the controller.
Finally I have provided you with a template to print out and fill in with all the phrases.
