IMPORTANT The Jeppesen cutover to the ICAO 2012 Filed Flight Plan (FPL)
format occurred on November 14, 2012. All flight plans filed with Jeppesen flight
planning products are now filed in the ICAO 2012 format by default. Flight plans not
filed in the ICAO 2012 format may be rejected by ATC.
IMPORTANT This document assumes a working knowledge of the “Amendment 1

of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Air Traffic Management, Fifteenth
Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444),” which describes the ICAO 2012 FPL requirements
in detail. The ICAO 2012 FPL changes are also summarized in the EUROCONTROL
ICAO 2012 Flight Plan Guide.
The ATC File page provides a form you can use to submit a flight plan to the proper
authorities. Before you file a flight plan, you must include certain required information. Some
elements in the form are transferred from the computed flight plan, and some are populated
from the Customer Aircraft Database (CADB) record for your aircraft or from other system
sources. You can change or add content to many of the fields before submitting the form.
To file a flight plan, make sure all the required information is in the form and then click File
Plan. If any required information is missing from either the form or the CADB, you will be
prompted to enter the missing data before you send the filing request. If at any time, you
decide not to file, click Close to close the form page.
Two forms are possible:
• The ICAO 2012 form – JetPlan.com displays the ICAO 2012 form
automatically for ICAO filings. This form went into effect after Jeppesen’s
cutover to the ICAO 2012 Filed Flight Plan (FPL) format on November 14,
2012.
• The Domestic ATC form – The Domestic ATC form is used for domestic
flights. Your account configuration controls whether or not you have access
to this filing form. If you do, JetPlan.com fill display the form
automatically. Contact your Jeppesen account representative for more
information.
The following sections provide information on filing flight plans using these forms.

Using the ICAO 2012 Form

This topic provides an overview of the ICAO 2012 FPL format and instructions on using the
ICAO 2012 form, which is the standard form used for ICAO filings. The ICAO 2012 form is
substantially the same as the pre-ICAO 2012 form. However, it allows you to edit individual
fields in Item 18 and file them in the prescribed order.
IMPORTANT This document assumes a working knowledge of the “Amendment 1

Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444),” which details the ICAO 2012 FPL requirements.”
Summary of ICAO 2012 Changes
New Item 10a/b ICAO 2012 introduces new EQUIPMENT Item 10a codes for
EQUIPMENT and communication and navigation equipment and capabilities and new
Codes Item 10b codes for surveillance equipment and capabilities.
Database Source: When your CADB Item 10a/b EQUIPMENT

(NC2) parameter is configured with these codes, JetPlan
automatically inserts the 10a codes before the “/” indicator and the
10b codes after the “/” indicator in Item 10a/b EQUIPMENT on the
filing strip.
NOTE If you manually override Item 10a/b codes in the ICAO 2012 filing form, be
sure to enter the “S” code (if used) first, or some ATC Centers may reject the filing. In
addition, if entering Item 10a/b manually in the ICAO 2012 form, you need to include
the “/” indicator after the Item 10a codes and before the Item 10b codes. For a list of
the Item 10a/b codes, see “ICAO 2012 Filing Form Fields” on page 14.
R – PBN Certified The PBN Approved (“R”) code in Item10a indicates that the aircraft
Item 10a Indicator has Performance Based Navigation (PBN) capabilities. Note that
there are dependencies between “R” in Item 10a and Item 18 PBN/.
For information, see “New links between Item 10a/b and Item 18” on
page 7.

Database Source: When the PBN Certified (I1) parameter in the

CADB is set to “Yes,” JetPlan automatically inserts an “R” in Item
10a on the filing strip.
New or Revised The following new or revised Item 18 indicators parameters are
Item 18 Indicators available.
and Definitions
• Item 18 PBN/ – ICAO codes for the aircraft's PBN capabilities.
• Item 18 COM/ – Communications applications or capabilities
not listed in Item 10a.

Traffic Management, Fifteenth Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444).”
The ICAO 2012 filing form in JetPlan.com facilitates keeping that
order, even when you edit the Item 18 values in the form.
Database Source: When an Item 18 indicator parameter is populated

in the CADB, JetPlan inserts the stored value in Item 18 on the filing
strip in the required order.
New links between Several links between Item 10a and Item 18 apply, as follows:
Item 10a/b and
Item 18 • R (PBN Approved) and Item 18 PBN/ – When “R” is in Item
10a on the filing strip (the PBN Certified [I1] parameter is set to
“Yes” in the CADB), PBN levels must be specified in Item 18
PBN/ and vice versa. Otherwise, the flight plan may be rejected.
Database Source: The Item 18 PBN/ (I2) parameter in the

CADB allows you to store the required data for insertion into
Item 18 on the filing strip.

Before Using the ICAO 2012 Filing Form

Before using the ICAO 2012 filing form, please note the following:
• The ICAO 2012 form will be displayed automatically for ICAO filings
unless your account has been configured to display the Domestic form.
• You must configure your CADB with ICAO 2012 parameters. The ICAO
2012 FPL form is pre-populated with this data. For information, see the
“ICAO 2012 Certification and Equipment” section in the Help topic for the
CADB on JetPlan.com.
For information on setting up the CADB, see the “ICAO 2012 Certification
and Equipment” section in the Help topic for the CADB on JetPlan.com.
• See “Reducing the Likelihood of ATC Rejects” on page 10 and individual
parameter definitions in “ICAO 2012 Form Contents” on page 14 for
important notes and cautions.
• For detailed information on the requirements of the ICAO 2012 FPL format,
see the “Amendment 1 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Air
Traffic Management, Fifteenth Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444).”
Requirements are also summarized in the EUROCONTROL ICAO 2012
Flight Plan Guide.
Reducing the Likelihood of ATC Rejects

To reduce the likelihood of ATC rejections of flight plans due to incorrect entry of ICAO 2012
data, follow these guidelines:
• Ensure that when “R” is in Item 10a, PBN levels are specified in Item 18
PBN/ and vice versa.
• Manage the other dependencies between Item 10a EQUIPMENT and Item
18 PBN/ described in “New links between Item 10a/b and Item 18” on
page 7.
• If you manually edit Item 10a EQUIPMENT, retain “S” (if used) as the first
code in the field, or some ATC Centers may reject the filing.
• File Item 18 indicators in the prescribed order per the “Amendment 1 of the
Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Air Traffic Management,
Fifteenth Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444).”(This is enforced
automatically in the JetPlan.com ICAO 2012 “Edit” form).
• Enter a maximum of eight PBN codes in the PBN/ parameter.
• Enter only numbers and letters for the ICAO 2012 parameters.

8
Filing Flight Plans
• Do not enter any of the Item 18 indicators themselves in any database

parameter field. For example, when editing the value in the Item 18 COM/
text box, do not enter “COM” or “COM/” or “/”, followed by the input
value. Enter only the input value for the field, using only numbers and
letters. For example, F10000.

Filing Flight Plans

FILED BY (Required) Enter the name of the person who is filing the
flight plan. An entry is required for international filings.
File Now/Lead Time/of By default, ATC filings are sent immediately (File Now).
Alternatively, filing requests can be made with a lead time so
that the request will be held in a queue until ETD minus lead
time.
Valid lead time values range from 0100-1600 for domestic
and 0100-1800 for international flights, entered in HHMM
format. For example, if it is currently 0000Z, and the flight
plan ETD is 1300Z, entering a lead time of 4 hours would
cause the plan to be filed at 0900Z.
If Lead Time is selected, but the HHMM input field is left
blank, default values of 0300 for domestic and 0500 for
international filings will be applied.

Filing Flight Plans
Using the Domestic ATC Form

NOTE Your account configuration controls whether or not you have access to the
Domestic filing form. If you do, the form displays automatically. For more information,
contact your Jeppesen account representative.
NOTE The Domestic ATC form was unaffected by the ICAO 2012 FPL changes.
The figure below shows the domestic flight plan form. Form elements are automatically
populated with information from the flight plan calculation, customer databases, and other
sources. Fields with a white or yellow background may be edited. Fields with red asterisks are
required elements. You must address any fields highlighted in yellow before submitting the
filing.

28
Filing Flight Plans
The following table describes the elements in the Domestic flight plan filing form.
Table 3 Domestic Filing Form Fields
Form Fields Description

Type Defines the flight rule (IFR/VFR) under which the
plan is being filed. Since JetPlan.com requires the
input of a flight rule prior to calculating a flight plan,
this field is always populated from the flight plan.
Aircraft Identification (Required) Defines the aircraft by both the record

name in the CADB and the call sign. The CADB
record name is always populated from the flight plan.
For U.S. Domestic flights, you can set a value for the
Domestic Call Sign (DO) parameter in the CADB.
You can also specify a call sign in the flight plan
request. If you do, that value will override any value
that has been set for the Domestic Call Sign parameter
in the CADB.
The call sign will not be pre-populated in the filing
form if it was not specified in the flight plan request or
in the CADB. If the call sign text box is empty, select
this field and type the aircraft’s call sign. The call sign
is a required element of the ATC filing form.
NOTE Most ARTCCs/ACCs accept only 7 characters.
Aircraft Type/Special Equipment (Required) The Aircraft Type field will always be
populated automatically from the flight plan.
For U.S. domestic filings, you can set a value for the
USA Equipment Suffix (EQ) parameter in the CADB,
which pre-populates the Special Equipment field in
the form. However, you may edit this field as
necessary.
True Airspeed This information is transferred from the flight plan

calculation.
Departure Point This information is transferred from the flight plan

calculation.
Departure Time (Required) This information is transferred from the

flight plan calculation. However, you may edit this
field as necessary.
Route of Flight This information is transferred from the flight plan

calculation.
Destination This information is transferred from the flight plan

calculation.
EST Time Enroute This information is transferred from the flight plan
calculation.

flight plan or from the CADB, if available. Otherwise,
type the information in the Number Aboard text box.
Color of Aircraft (Required) This information is transferred from the

CADB, if available. Otherwise, type the appropriate
information in the Color of Aircraft text box.
Filing Addresses (Required) This information may be transferred from

a number of sources automatically. However, this
information may be edited as necessary. To add or
change information, type the appropriate information
in the Filing Addresses text box.
File Now/Lead Time of By default, ATC filings are sent immediately (File
Now).
Alternatively, filing requests can be made with a lead
time so that the request will be held in a queue until
ETD minus Lead Time.
Valid lead time values range from 0100-1600 for
domestic and 0100-1800 for international flights,
entered in HHMM format. For example, if it is
currently 0000Z, and the flight plan ETD is 1300Z,
entering a lead time of 4 hours would cause the plan to
be filed at 0900Z.
If Lead Time is selected, but the HHMM input field is
left blank, default values of 0300 for domestic and
0500 for international filings will be applied.
