Extract from ICAO DOC 4444 (PANS - RAC) Dated 22 Nov 2007 Flight plan form

A flight plan form based on the model in Appendix 2* should be provided for and used by operators and air traffic services units for the purpose of completing flight plans.

(* Appendix 2 in this instance is found at page A2-1 PANS-RAC Doc 4444. Copies are also included in this chapter.) Note: A different form may be provided for use in completing repetitive flight plan listings.

The flight plan form should be printed and should include an English text in addition to the language(s) of the State concerned. Note: The Model Flight Plan Form in Appendix 2 is printed in English and one other of the languages of the Organization for illustration purposes.

Operators and air traffic services units should comply with the instructions for completion of a flight plan form and a repetitive flight plan listing form given in Appendix 2.

Note: The instructions for completing a flight plan form given in Appendix 2 may be conveniently printed on the inside cover of flight plan form pads, or posted in briefing rooms.

An operator unable to satisfy a prescribed route or area RNP* should, prior to departure, advise ATC of the RNP* types the aircraft is certified to meet.

(* Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is a statement of the navigation performance accuracy necessary for operation within a defined airspace. RNP type is a containment value expressed as a distance in NM from the intended position within which flights would be for at least 95% of the total flying time. For example RNP 4 represents a navigation accuracy of +/- 4 NM on a 95% containment basis)

Submission of a Flight Plan

Prior to departure

Except when other arrangements have been made for submission of repetitive flight plans, a flight plan submitted prior to departure should be submitted in person or by telephone to the air traffic services reporting office at the departure aerodrome. If no such unit exists at the departure aerodrome, the flight plan should be submitted by telephone or typewriter, or if these means are not available, by radio to the unit serving or designated to serve the departure aerodrome.

In the event of a delay of thirty (30) minutes in excess of the estimated off-block time for a controlled flight or a delay of one hour for an uncontrolled flight for which a flight plan has been submitted, the flight plan should be amended or a new flight plan submitted and the old flight plan cancelled, whichever is applicable.

During flight

A flight plan to be submitted during flight should normally be transmitted to the aeronautical telecommunication station serving the air traffic services unit in charge of the flight information region, control area, advisory area or advisory route in or on which the aircraft wishes to fly. When this is not practicable, it should be transmitted to another aeronautical telecommunication station for retransmission as required to the appropriate air traffic services unit.

ATC Flight Plan 12

Plan Flight ATC 12

Note: If the flight plan is submitted for the purpose of obtaining air traffic control service, the aircraft is required to wait for an air traffic control clearance prior to proceeding under the conditions requiring compliance with air traffic control procedures. If the flight plan is submitted for the purpose if obtaining air traffic advisory service, the aircraft is required to wait for acknowledgement of receipt by the unit providing the service.

Acceptance of a Flight Plan

The first air traffic services unit receiving a flight plan, or a change thereto, shall:

•Check it for compliance with the format and data conventions

•Check it for completeness and, to the extent possible, for accuracy

•Take action, if necessary, to make it acceptable to the air traffic services, and

•Indicate acceptance of the flight plan or change thereto, to the originator

General

RPLs (Repetitive Flight Plans) shall not be used for flights other than IFR flights operated regularly on the same day(s) of consecutive weeks and on at least ten consecutive occasions or every day over a period of at least ten consecutive days. The elements of each flight plan shall have a high degree of stability.

Note: Permissible incidental changes to RPL data affecting the operation for one particular day are not intended to be a modification of the listed RPL.

RPLs shall cover the entire flight from the departure aerodrome to the destination aerodrome. RPL procedures shall be applied only when all ATS authorities concerned with the flights have agreed to accept RPLs.

The use by States of RPLs for international flight shall be subject to the provision that the affected adjacent States either already use RPLs or will use them at the same time. The procedures for use between States shall be the subject of bilateral, multilateral or regional air navigation agreement as appropriate.

Changes to RPL Listings

Changes of a permanent nature

Changes of a permanent nature involving the inclusion of new flights and the deletion or modification of currently listed flights shall be submitted in the form of amendment listings. These listings shall reach the air traffic services agency concerned at least seven days prior to the change becoming effective.

Changes of a temporary nature

Changes of a temporary, non-recurring nature relating to RPLs concerning aircraft type and wake turbulence category, speed and/or cruising level shall be notified for each individual flight as early as possible and not later than 30 minutes before departure to the ATS reporting office responsible for the departure aerodrome. A change of cruising level only may be notified by radio-telephony on initial contact with the ATS unit.

In the case of an incidental change in the aircraft identification, the departure aerodrome, the route and/or the destination aerodrome, the RPL shall be cancelled for the day concerned and an individual flight plan shall be submitted.
