If the flight plan is transmitted by FAX, a special flight plan model shall be used. This form can be obtained from EBBRor ELLX ARO. 2 REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT A FLIGHT PLAN A flight plan shall be submitted prior to operating: a. any FLTor portion thereof to be provided with ATCservice b. any FLTabove FL660 c. any FLTacross international borders d. any VFRFLTat night. Note 1: A pilot may, if he wishes, submit a flight plan for any FLT. A pilot is advised to submit a flight plan if he intends to fly over sparsely populated areas, particularly if his ACFTis not equipped with radio. Note 2: With regard to point a) above, a pilot is not required to use the flight plan form for the purpose of obtaining an ATCCLR for a FLTto be provided with ADcontrol service only. He should however, either in person, by telephone or by radio, submit the limited information required by the appropriate ATSunit. Note 3: A pilot who has submitted a flight plan for a FLTdeparting from a private ADis responsible for the forwarding of the associated messages either by TELor by radio to the ATSunit to which the flight plan was sent. 3 SUBMISSION OF A FLIGHT PLAN ← 3.1 IFR FLIGHT PLAN Except for RPLs, a flight plan shall be submitted prior to DEPeither to the IFPSor to an ARO, or during flight to an appropriate ATSunit. The IFPSis the responsible unit for accepting IFR/GATflight plans, for FLTs conducted within the IFPS-Zone. Unless a flight plan has been received and accepted by the IFPS(i.e. an ACKmessage has been received), the requirement to submit a flight plan for an IFR/GATFLTintending to operate into the IFPS-Zone will not have been satisfied and no ATCCLRwill be issued for such a FLT. Aircraft Operators shall file their flight plans and associated messages for IFR/GAT FLTs directly with the IFPS, whenever possible, or they can use the intermediate of a local ARO. The IFPS will send back "Operational Reply Messages" to the message originator (Aircraft Operator or ARO), indicating the status of processing of his flight plan or associated message: • an acknowledge message (ACK) will indicate the successful processing of the message • a reject message (REJ) indicates that the submitted message could not be processed and that the message originator should file a new corrected message • a manual message (MAN) means that the message contains errors and that it will be presented to an IFPSoperator for manual processing. A MAN message will be followed either by an ACK message, if the message has been corrected successfully by the IFPSoperator, or by a REJmessage, if the error(s) could not be solved. Detailed information on flight plan filing procedures with the IFPSis published in the IFPS Users ManualCFMU Handbook. It can be obtained from EUROCONTROL Library (see ENR 1.9, ATFM Documentation). 3.2 VFR FLIGHT PLAN A VFRflight plan shall be sent prior to departure via: • AFTN • FAX • TEL • dedicated workstations • the internet • in person © BELGOCONTROL AIM, 2012 AIRAC AMDT 10/2012 ENR 1.10-2 AIP Belgium and G.D. of Luxembourg 15 NOV 2012 ~~~eaip-amdt~~~AIRAC-2012-10 A VFRflight plan may also be filed in flight. 3.3 PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING FLIGHT PLANS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE 3.3.1 FLIGHT PLANS SUBMITTED VIA AFTNAND SITA 3.3.1.1 IFR/GATFLTS CONDUCTED IN THE IFPS-ZONE Such flight plans shall be submitted to the IFPSonly via: • AFTNto EUCHZMFP and EUCBZMFP • SITAto BRUEP7X and PAREP7X 3.3.1.2 IFR/GATFLTS LEAVING THE IFPS-ZONE AND/OR MIXED RULES FLIGHT PLANS IFR/VFRor vice versa = flight rules Y or Z. Message originators able to file the addresses for the portion of their FLToutside the IFPS-Zone and/or for the VFRportion of their FLTshould file to the IFPSonly via: • AFTNto EUCHZMFP and EUCBZMFP • SITAto BRUEP7X and PAREP7X Such message originators should fill in the non-IFPS addresses or the VFR addresses in AFTN-format below the date/time/originator line - using the re-addressing procedure - as specified in the CFMUHandbook, Part IFPSUsers Manual. Message originators not able to file the addresses for the portion of their FLToutside the IFPS-Zone and/or for the VFRportion of their FLTshould file to the AROonly via: • AFTNto EBBRZPZX (DEPfrom Belgium) or ELLXZPZX (DEPfrom the G.D. of Luxembourg) • SITAnot possible The AROwill address the IFRor mixed rules flight plan to both IFPSunits in accordance with the re-addressing procedure. Note 1: Aircraft Operators filing via an AROshall never submit the same flight plan simultaneously to the IFPS. Note 2: If a REJmessage is received from the IFPS, the AROwill transmit this REJmessage to the message originator's AFS address for corrective action. 3.3.1.3 VFR FLIGHT PLANS SHALL ALWAYS BE TRANSMITTED TO THE RESPONSIBLE AROONLY VIA: • AFTNto EBBRZPZX (DEPfrom Belgium) or ELLXZPZX (DEPfrom the G.D. of Luxembourg) • SITAnot possible 3.3.2 FLIGHT PLANS SUBMITTED BY FAX, TEL OR IN PERSON. Regardless the flight rules, flight plans can only be submitted by FAX, TEL or in person at the AROs of EBBRand ELLX. Such flight plans cannot be submitted directly with the IFPS. Note: All flight plan forms sent by FAX should be filled out in capital letters using a black ballpoint. It is the Aircraft Operator's responsibility to ensure himself of the correct reception of his telefax flight plan at the appropriate ARO. Operators of IFR/GAT flight filing their flight plan by FAX, TEL or in person shall in any case contact the appropriate ARO (preferably 15 MINafter filing) to obtain confirmation on the acceptance of their flight plan by the IFPS(ACKmessage received at the ARO). Operators of IFR/GATflight filing their flight plan by FAX, TELor in person shall leave a (mobile) telephone number at the ARO, where they can be contacted in case the originally filed flight plan would be changed by the IFPS(especially when in Item 18 "RMK/IFPS REROUTE ACCEPTED" has been included). EBBRAROcan be contacted at: • Tel:++32 (2) 206 25 40 or 41 • Fax: ++32 (2) 206 25 39 ELLXAROcan be contacted at: • Tel:++352 4798 2301 1 • Fax: ++352 4798 2309 0 AIRAC AMDT 10/2012 © BELGOCONTROL AIM, 2012 AIP Belgium and G.D. of Luxembourg ENR 1.10-3 15 NOV 2012 ~~~eaip-amdt~~~AIRAC-2012-10 3.3.3 FLIGHT PLANS SUBMITTED VIA DEDICATED WORKSTATIONS OR VIA THE INTERNET. Regardless the flight rules, flight plans can solely be submitted at the Brussels ARO via dedicated workstations or via the Internet. Dedicated workstations for filing of flight plans are installed at EBAW, EBCI, EBLGand EBOS. Aircraft Operators filing a flight plan on one of these workstations will automatically receive a hard copy of their flight plan on the printer next to the workstation, when the flight plan is accepted by Brussels ARO. If the flight plan is not accepted, a reject message will be received on the same printer, requesting to contact Brussels AROvia TELfor corrective action. Aircraft Operators intending to use the Internet for the submission of their flight plan, shall exclusively use the electronic flight plan form made available on the Belgocontrol website. URL: http://www.belgocontrol.be It is the Aircraft Operator's responsibility to ensure himself of the correct reception of his internet flight plan at the Brussels ARO. Operators of IFR/GATFLTfiling their flight plan via either a dedicated workstation or via the Internet shall in any case contact Brussels ARO(preferably 15 MINafter filing) to obtain confirmation on the acceptance of their flight plan by the IFPS(ACK message received at the ARO). Operators of IFR/GAT FLT filing their flight plan either via a dedicated workstation or via the Internet shall leave a (mobile) telephone number at the ARO, where they can be contacted in case the originally filed flight plan would be changed by the IFPS(especially when in Item 18 "RMK/IFPS REROUTE ACCEPTED" has been included). For flight planning problems contact Brussels ARO Tel: ++32 (2) 206 25 40 or 41 In case of technical problems contact Flight Support Help Desk Tel: ++32 (2) 206 25 48 ← 3.3.4 SUBMISSION TIME A flight plan for a FLTto be provided with ATCservice shall be submitted at least 30 MINbefore the EOBT, furthermore all IFR/GATflight plans shall be submitted at least 1 HRbefore the EOBT. See ENR 1.9for ATFMpurposes. A flight plan shall not be submitted more than 120 HR(5 days) prior to the EOBT. Note: If a flight plan for a FLTconducted wholly in the EUR Region is filed more than 24 HRin advance of the EOBT, it is mandatory to provide the date of the FLT. Even if the flight plan is filed less than 24 HRin advance of the EOBT, it is strongly recommended to insert the date of the FLT in Item 18 of the flight plan in the form of a 3-letter indicator (DOF) followed by an oblique stroke and the date of the FLTin a 6-figure group format: DOF/YYMMDD (YY = year; MM = month; DD = date). In the event of a delay of 15 MINin excess of the EOBTfor a controlled FLTor a delay of 60 MINfor a non-controlled FLTfor which a flight plan has been submitted, the flight plan shall be amended or a new flight plan shall be submitted and the old one should be cancelled. 3.4 PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING FLIGHT PLANS DURING FLIGHT (AFIL) A flight plan submitted during flight should normally be transmitted to the ATSunit in charge of the FIRor CTAin which the ACFTis flying, or in, or through which the ACFTwhishes to fly. In case of an AFIL, the ATSunit receiving the flight plan will be responsible for addressing the flight plan message in accordance with the PROCs described above. An AFILfor a FLTto be provided with ATCservice shall be submitted at a time which will ensure its receipt by the appropriate ATS unit at least 10 MINbefore the ACFTis estimated to reach: • the intended point of entry into a CTA • the point of crossing an airway. Note: If the flight plan is submitted for the purpose of obtaining ATCservice, the ACFTis required to wait for an ATCCLRprior to proceed under the conditions requiring compliance with ATCprocedures. 4 CONTENTS OF A FLIGHT PLAN A flight plan shall comprise information regarding such of the following items considered relevant by the appropriate ATSunit: • ACFTidentification • Flight rules and type of FLT • Number and type(s) of ACFTand wake turbulence category © BELGOCONTROL AIM, 2012 AIRAC AMDT 10/2012 ENR 1.10-4 AIP Belgium and G.D. of Luxembourg 15 NOV 2012 ~~~eaip-amdt~~~AIRAC-2012-10 • Equipment ← • ADof DEP(see Note 1) • EOBT(see Note 2) • Cruising speed(s) • Cruising level(s) • Route to be followed • ADof DESTand total elapsed time • Alternate AD(s) • Fuel endurance • Total number of persons on board • Emergency and survival equipment • Other information.
