A departure slot is a time when an aircraft can take off, the so called Calculated Time of Take-Off. Definition of business aviation (adopted by IBAC in 1998): “That sector of aviation which concerns the operation or use of aircraft by companies for the carriage of passengers or goods as an aid to the conduct of their business, flown for purposes generally considered not for public hire and piloted by individuals. The slot, which is located ahead of the aileron, causes the inboard portion of the wing to stall fist, allowing the aileron to remain effective throughout the stall.

Flight Plan Completion

From SKYbrary Wiki

Completion of the ICAO flight plan form is quite simple and is only a matter of inserting the requested information in the appropriate boxes. The white boxes on the form relate to required information about the flight and are to be completed by the pilot or dispatcher while the shaded boxes indicate the information that is to be inserted by appropriate ATS and COM services.

• 2Contents of a Flight Plan

How to Complete the Flight Plan Form

It is very important to adhere closely to the prescribed formats and manner of specifying data.

A new flight plan format was fully implemented from 15th November 2012 containing certain significant changes from the previous format.

When completing a flight plan the following rules apply:

• use capital letters, one letter in each space of the field (unless field are not divided into spaces)
• adhere to the prescribed formats and manner of specifying data
• any data should be inserted only in the fields and spaces provided.
• where excess space is available, leave unused spaces blank.
• all times should be clock times in 4 figures UTC (e.g., 1800, 0930, etc.)
• the term “aerodrome”, where used in the flight plan, is intended to cover also sites other than aerodromes, which may be used by certain types of aircraft, e.g., helicopters or balloons.
• note that item numbers on the form are not consecutive (they correspond to item type in standard ATS messages).
• items preceding item 7 are to be completed by ATC and COM services
• items 7 to 18 should be completed as indicated hereunder.
• item 19 completion is to facilitate alerting of SAR (Search and Rescue) services.

Also remember that:

• if your flight plan is for a future date (You may file Your flight plan 120 hours before Estimated Off Block Time – EOBT) make sure that the date is provided clearly in item 18 (preceded by “DOF/”) . If You want to delay Your flight plan over midnight, a CHG (Change) and not DLA (Delay) message should be sent.
• it is essential to advise ATS of cancellation, delay or any changes to the flight plan. When multiple changes are to be made, it is preferable to cancel the existing flight plan and file a new one. The pilot (or representative) should advise ATS about a delay if it exceeds 30 minutes for flights in controlled airspace, or 60 minutes for flights outside controlled airspace.
• after filing the flight plan check if it has been received and accepted. Only then will you be able to use it.
• if, as a result of modifications to the original flight plan, any ATS may receive a CHG (Change) message only, then the modified flight plan should also be sent along with the message.

Contents of a Flight Plan

Item 7

AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION (maximum 7 characters)

This consists of the aircraft registration letters or the company designator followed by the flight number which are to be used by air traffic services for radiotelephony communication and coordination.

This field can be filled in in one of the following ways:

a) aircraft registration when:

- in radiotelephony, the call sign to be used by the aircraft will consist of this identification alone (Example: DAGXC or N137DK)

- preceded by the ICAO telephony designator for the aircraft operating agency (Example: SMALL-AIRLINE DAGXC)

- the aircraft is not equipped with radio;

b) operating agency and flight number: ACA123, KLM672, BAW74W, etc.

c) tactical call sign (usually military): BRUNO12, SWIFT45, RED1, etc.

The most frequent option for general aviation is: aircraft registration.

Item 8

FLIGHT RULES AND TYPE OF FLIGHT (2 characters)

This item indicates both flight rules and type of flight. Flight rules are important due to different regulations, weather and separation minimums for IFR and VFR flights.

Insert one of the following letters to denote the category of flight rules with which the pilot intends to comply. Options are:

I for IFR

V for VFR

Y for IFR first, then VFR (this will indicate to ATS that during the flight a pilot will call for IFR flight cancellation)

Z for VFR first, then IFR (this will indicate to ATS that during the flight a pilot will call for changing to IFR which will require ATC clearance from ATS)

If “Y” or “Z” is used, specify, in the route section of the flight plan, the point(s) where a change in flight rules is planned. Similarly, where there is more than one change in the type of flight rules, the code to be used is to reflect the first rule, i.e., use “Z” for VFR/IFR/VFR.

Then insert one of the following letters to denote the type of flight if required by the appropriate ATS authority. Options are:

S for scheduled air service

N for non-scheduled air service

G for general aviation

M for military

X for other than the preceding categories

The most frequent option for general aviation is: VG (assuming You will fly VFR general aviation flight)

Item 9

NUMBER AND TYPE OF AIRCRAFT AND WAKE TURBULENCE CATEGORY

Insert number of aircraft, if more than one (1 or 2 characters) followed by type of aircraft (2 to 4 characters).

The type of aircraft is indicated by the manufacturer’s designator. If no such designator has been assigned, or in the case of formation flights comprising more than one type, insert “ZZZZ” and specify the number(s) and type(s) of aircraft in Item 18 (see below) preceded by “TYP/” (up to 60 characters can be put, for example: TYP/3C182 2C172).

ICAO aircraft type designators are presented in ICAO Doc 8643.

Then add ICAO Wake Turbulence Category (1 character). Options are:

/L – LIGHT, to indicate an aircraft type with a maximum certificated takeoff mass of 7000 kg (15 500 lbs) or less.

/M – MEDIUM, to indicate an aircraft type with a maximum certificated takeoff mass of less than 136 000 kg (300 000 lbs), but more than 7 000 kg (15 500 lbs).

/H – HEAVY, to indicate an aircraft type with a maximum certificated takeoff mass of 136000 kg (300 000 lbs) or more.

Item 10

EQUIPMENT

The COM/NAV/SSR equipment on board and its serviceability must be inserted by adding the appropriate suffixes. The first suffixes will denote the COM/NAV equipment, followed by an oblique stroke, and another suffix to denote the SSR equipment. Options for COM/NAV equipment are:

N if no COM/NAV/approach aid equipment for the route to be flown is carried, or the equipment is unserviceable,

or S if standard COM/NAV/approach aid equipment for the route to be flown is available and serviceable.

IMPORTANT: standard equipment is considered to be VHF RTF, VOR and ILS unless another combination is prescribed by aviation authority local regulations.

NOTE: many pilots use “S” even though they do not have all the elements of 'standard' present and certified (for example no ILS). THIS IS A SERIOUS MISTAKE! If You are in such situation, list all your equipment with the letters given below.

If none of the above options apply or the aircraft has more equipment than indicated by “S” insert one or more of the following letters to indicate the COM/NAV/approach aid equipment available and serviceable:

COM/NAV equipment (only the codes most often encountered by General Aviation codes are given; for the complete list, refer to ICAO documents):

A - GBAS landing system

B - LPV (APV with SBAS)

C - LORAN C

D - DME

E1 - FMC WPR ACARS

E2 - D-FIS ACARS

E3 - PDC ACARS

F - ADF

G - GNSS (IMPORTANT: When using the letter “G” on an IFR flight plan, the GPS receiver must be approved in accordance with the requirements from aviation authority). If used a NAV/ element in field 18 should be used to indicate the type of GNSS system.

H - HF RTF

I - Inertial Navigation

J1 - CPDLC ATN VDL Mode 2 (mandated e.g. in the European Union)

J2 - CPDLC FANS 1/A HFDL

J3 - CPDLC FANS 1/A VDL Mode A

J4 - CPDLC FANS 1/A VDL Mode 2

J5 - CPDLC FANS 1/A SATCOM (INMARSAT)

J6 - CPDLC FANS 1/A SATCOM (MTSAT)

J7 - CPDLC FANS 1/A SATCOM (Iridium)

K - MLS

L - ILS

M1 - ATC SATVOICE (INMARSAT)

M2 - ATC SATVOICE (MTSAT)

M3 - ATC SATVOICE (Iridium)

O – VOR

P1 - CPDLC RCP 400

P2 - CPDLC RCP 240

P3 - SATVOICE RCP 400

R - PBN approved. Further information is provided in Item 18 following the indicator PBN/.

T - TACAN

U – UHF RTF

V – VHF RTF

W - RVSM approved

X - MNPS approved

Y - VHF with 8.33 kHz channel spacing capability

Z - other equipment carried (IMPORTANT: if the letter “Z” is used, specify in Item 18 the other equipment carried, preceded by COM/ and/or NAV/, as appropriate.)

Surveillance (SSR) equipment

Here insert one or two of the following letters to describe the serviceable SSR equipment carried:

N - None

A - Transponder – Mode A (code only indication)

C - Transponder – Mode A and Mode C (code and altitude indication)

E - Mode S, including aircraft identification, pressure-altitude and extended squitter (ADS-B) capability

H - Mode S, including aircraft identification, pressure-altitude and enhanced surveillance capability

I - Mode S, including aircraft identification, but no pressure-altitude capability

L - Mode S, including aircraft identification, pressure-altitude, extended squitter (ADS-B) and enhanced surveillance capability

X - Transponder – Mode S without both aircraft identification and pressure altitude transmission

P - Transponder – Mode S, including pressure altitude transmission, but no aircraft identification transmission

S - Transponder – Mode S, including both pressure-altitude and aircraft identification transmission.

Other indicators are B1, B2, U1, U2, V1, V2, D1 and G1 (denoting various ADS-B and ADS-C equipment) but these are very unlikely to be used in general aviation.

Examples: Aircraft with VHF only and no transponder - insert V/N. Aircraft with VHF,VOR,ADF,ILS,DME,HF,Mode A and C transponder – insert SDH/C.

REMEMBER to add oblique stroke between COM/NAV equipment codes and SSR equipment code.

The most frequent option for general aviation is: S/C

Item 13

DEPARTURE AERODROME AND TIME

(1) Departure Aerodrome (maximum 4 characters)

On an ICAO flight plan, use four character location indicators.

Example: EDDS, EPKK, LZKZ.

ICAO aerodrome designators are presented in ICAO Doc 7910.

If no location indicator is specified, as is the case in water aerodromes or many of the land VFR aerodromes, insert “ZZZZ” and specify the full name of the aerodrome in Item 18 preceded by “DEP/”.

Example: DEP/VERY NICE AIRPORT

If the name of the departure point is not listed in any aeronautical publication, to indicate it in Item 18 use:

- degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude.

Example: DEP/5023N02214E

- bearing and distance to a navigation point or navigational aid.

Example: DEP/ABC180017 (which means bearing 180 degrees and distance 17 NM from ABC aid)

Item 15

CRUISING SPEED, ALTITUDE/LEVEL AND ROUTE

This is the most complex item. It contains very important information from the point of view of ATS therefore a careful and correct completion of this field is required. Mistakes in this field may be an indirect reason for such hazardous occurrences as airspace infringement.

In item 15 insert:

a) the first cruising speed as described in (A) below,

b) the first cruising level as described in (B) below, and

Example: K0220 (which means 220 km/h true airspeed)

b) knots expressed as “N” followed by 4 figures

Example: N0175 (which means 175 knots true airspeed)

There is also an option to indicate speed as Mach number but as it is not used by GA no details will be provided.

General aviation example: N0150 (assuming that You will fly with speed 150 knots)

(B) Cruising Level (maximum 5 characters)

Insert the planned cruising level for the first or the whole portion of the route to be flown, in terms of:

a) flight level, expressed as “F” followed by 3 figures or

General aviation example: A065 (assuming that You will fly at 6500 feet altitude)

(C) Route (including changes of speed, level and/or flight rules)

To fill in the “Route” field use points (1) to (6) below and after each element add a single space.

(1) Flights along designated ATS Routes:

Insert, if the departure aerodrome is located on, or connected to the ATS route, the designator of the first ATS route.

If the departure aerodrome is not on, or is not connected to the ATS route, insert the letters DCT, followed by the joining point of the first ATS route and followed by the designator of the ATS route.

Example: DCT RONEX L617 …

Then insert each point at which either a change of speed or level, a change of ATS route, and/or a change of flight rules is planned.

Example: TRZ/N0200A080 IFR (which means that at point TRZ you are to change speed to 200 knots, altitude to 8000 feet and request to change flight rules to IFR).

After each point add the designator of the next ATS route segment, even if the same as the previous one or by DCT , if the flight to the next point is outside a designated route, unless both points are defined by geographical co-ordinates.

(2) Flights outside designated ATS Routes:

Insert points normally not more than 30 minutes flying time or 370 km (200 NM) apart including each point at which a change of speed or level, a change of track, or a change of flight rules is planned or when required by the appropriate ATS authority(ies).

Insert DCT between successive points unless both points are defined by geographical co-ordinates or by bearing and distance.

(3) ATS route (2 to 7 characters)

Insert the coded designator assigned to the route or route segment including, where appropriate, the coded designator assigned to the standard departure or arrival route.

Example:R11

Example:51N025E

(b) Degrees and minutes (11 characters):

Insert 4 figures describing latitude in degrees, and tens and units of minutes followed by “N” (North) or “S” (South), followed by 5 figures describing longitude in degrees and tens and units of minutes, followed by “E” (East) or “W” (West). Make up the correct number of figures, where necessary, by insertion of zeros.

Example Flight Plan

Now to summarise, an example of a completed flight plan. This example only flight plan is for a VFR flight in France:

Flight plan was completed for a flight by an airplane registered “FOLXG”

The flight rules were planned to be VFR and it was a general aviation flight.

As item 9 is left blank, that means that it is a flight plan for 1 airplane. The type is Socata Tobago (ICAO designator “TOBA”).

Wake turbulence category for this plane is light and its equipment is: VHF RTF, DME, VOR and Mode C transponder.

Departure aerodrome for this flight is Nice (LFMN) and estimated off-block time is 0930 UTC.

Planned cruising speed is 100 knots TAS, planned altitude is 6500 feet. The planned route is via point STP, then via route A3 to point RUBIT and along route G7 via CUERS, RIKPO and OB.

Note: This is an example of route description and the pilot is obliged to check and follow departure/arrival routes and procedures.

The destination aerodrome for this flight is Marseille (LFML) and the flight is planned to take 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Aviation Slot Time Definition Dictionary

Two alternate aerodromes were planned: Lyon (LFLL) and Toulouse (LFBO).
