Flight Planning
Item 15: Cruising Speed (5 characters), Cruis-
ing Level (5 characters), and Route
Cruising Speed: Insert the true air speed for the first or whole
cruising portion of the flight in one of the following forms:
Kilometers per hour: K + 4 figures (e.g., K0830)
Knots: N + 4 figures (e.g., N0485)
Mach number: M + 3 figures (e.g., M082) if prescribed by
ATS .
Cruising Level: Insert the planned cruising level for the first or
whole portion of the planned route using one of the following
forms:
Flight level: F + 3 figures (e.g., F085; F330)
Standard metric level in tens of metres: S + 4 figures
(e.g., S1130) if prescribed by ATS.
Altitude in hundreds of feet: A + 3 figures (e.g., A045;
A100)
Altitude in tens of metres: M + 4 figures (e.g., M0840)
For uncontrolled VFR flights: VFR
Route: Include changes of speed, level, and/or flight rules.
For flights along designated ATS routes:
If the departure aerodrome is on or connected to the ATS
route, insert the designator of the first ATS route.
If the departure aerodrome is not on or connected to the
ATS route, insert the letters DCT followed by the point of
joining the first ATS route, followed by the designator of
the ATS route.
Insert each point at which a change of speed, change of
level,change of ATS route, and/or a change of flight rules
is planned. For a transition between lower and upper ATS
routes oriented in the same direction, do not insert the
point of transition.
In each case, follow with the designator of the next ATS
route segment even if it is the same as the previous one
(or with DCT if the flight to the next point is outside a des-
ignated route), unless both points are defined by geo-
graphical coordinates.
