FPL 2012 Flight Plan Conversion

SP/7 (Revised)

© 2011 COMSOFT GmbH | FPL 2012 Conversion | Manila, Philippines, November 7-9, 2011 |

DOC 4444 – Amendment 1 – A global Issue

The new ICAO flight plan format is introduced world-wide

It will be distributed on international level ANSPs in all ICAO Regions are involved

Due Date: November 15, 2012According to ICAO State Letter AN 13/2.1-08/50, each ANSP is

obliged to receive flight plans according to ICAO amendment 1 to DOC 4444 15th Edition

Migration Phase April 2012 - November 2012During this phase the coexistence of the present and the new format

is tolerated


The present and the new Format

Meaning of items/coding within the new flight plan has significantly changed

Items 7, 8, 10,13,15,16, 18 and 22 are concerned Items 10 and 18 (and therefore 22) have experienced

the most considerable changes

Present and new format are incompatible

During Migration Phase:

Conversion “New Present” is required


Conversion - New to Present Format

Conversion may not lead to a loss of data ICAO has published guidelines for the conversion,

which can be used by states (ICAO state letter AN 13/2.1-09/9)

Regions have developed regional guidance material: EUR Region

EUROCONTROL has provided specific guidelines (CFMU v1.43)

ASIA/PACIFIC Region APANPIRG FPL&AM/TF has developed regional

guidance material (Guidance Material v3)

COMSOFT

• COMSOFT supports the conversion in both directions• Conversion Present to NEW is based on the

information in field 18


Special Case of the Conversion: Date of Flight (DOF)

New Format allows to file flight plans 5 days in advance

Present Format allows to file flight plans 24 hrs in advance

Some existing Flight Data Processing System implementations do not understand the „Date of Flight“ (DOF) feature

Risk of misinterpretation of the flight date

The converter has to delay Flight Plans with DOF set for those end

systems that are not capable of the DOF feature.
