ICAO Flight Plan Mandate Pushed To January 2017

iFlightPlanner Offers Tips For A Smooth Transition

The FAA has again delayed the implementation of the international flight plan form (ICAO) for all civil domestic flights.

Barring another postponement, the FAA will eliminate use of the domestic flight plan format and make the transition to ICAO format in January 2017.

ICAO flight plans contain specific information relating to the proposed flight of an aircraft and controllers use them to provide air traffic services based on the capabilities of each aircraft. Today pilots file flight plans in the U.S. under either the domestic or ICAO format, and the use of one format will simplify the process and align U.S. flight plans with ICAO standards.

iFlightpLanner has produced a flight planning QuickTip will show you how to easily update your iFlightPlanner aircraft profiles and enjoy a seamless transition to the new ICAO flight plan format when creating and filing flight plans with iFlightPlanner. iFlightPlanner is, and has been ready since this change was first proposed in 2012.

There is a lot of aircraft-specific information required to file the ICAO flight plans. However, if you are only flying domestically the FAA requires less ICAO data. The FAA has issued an informal guidance document that highlights changes specific to the international flight plan form that pertain exclusively to flight within the National Airspace System.
