DOC 4444 – Amendment 1 – A global Issue The new ICAO flight plan format is introduced world-wide Ø It will be distributed on international level Ø ANSPs in all ICAO Regions are involved Ø Due Date: November 15, 2012 According 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 15 th Edition Migration Phase April 2012 - November 2012 During this phase the coexistence of the present and the new format is tolerated © 2011 COMSOFT Gmb.

The present and the new Format Meaning of items/coding within the new flight plan has significantly changed Ø Items 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 16, 18 and 22 are concerned Ø Items 10 and 18 (and therefore 22) have experienced the most considerable changes Ø Present and new format are incompatible During Migration Phase: Conversion “New Present” is required © 2011 COMSOFT Gmb. H | FPL 2012 Conversion | Manila, Philippines, November 7 -9, 2011 | Page 3
