5 ASSOCIATED FLIGHT PLAN MESSAGES

5.1 Modification Message (CHG)

When a change needs to be made to the flight plan, a CHG message will be transmitted. A CHG message will only be transmitted when there is a change in the basic data, except for:

Aircraft Identification.
Departure aerodrome.
Destination aerodrome.
Estimated off-block date
Estimated off-block time (*).

(*) For any advance of 30 minutes in the EOBT, the previous flight plan must be canceled and a new one created; however, if the modification of the EOBT results in a delay compared to what was listed in the FPL, it will involve the transmission of a delay message (DLA). This applies as long as it is within the validity period of the flight plan or a maximum of 10 minutes before the expiration of the flight plan, whether it is IFR or VFR.

The CHG message will be sent to all flight plan data recipients affected by the change.

5.2 Cancellation Message (CNL)

After the submission and transmission of a FPL, any modification in the following fields will generate a cancellation message (CNL) for the original FPL and the submission of a new one:

Aircraft Identification.
Departure aerodrome.
Destination aerodrome.
Estimated off-block date
Estimated off-block time (EOBT applies only in the case of an advance).

It is very important that the originator of a plan cancels this:

As soon as it is known that the flight will not operate, or
Before submitting a flight plan that will replace it.
Before the expiration of the validity time of the flight plan (minimum 30 before its operation)

5.3 Delay Messages (DLA)

In the event of a delay of more than 30 minutes from the estimated off-block time for a controlled flight, or one hour for an uncontrolled flight for which a flight plan has been submitted, the flight plan should be amended, or a new flight plan should be filed cancelling the old one, as appropriate. Before the expiration of the validity time of the flight plan.

Note 1 : Failure to properly notify a delay in departure of a controlled flight may result in the relevant flight plan data no longer being available to the appropriate ATS unit when a clearance is ultimately requested, resulting in additional flight delay.

Note 2 : Failure to properly notify a delayed departure (or cancellation) of a VFR flight from uncontrolled aerodromes may unnecessarily initiate an alert or search and rescue action when the flight does not arrive at the destination aerodrome within 30 minutes of its current ETA.

When a flight for which a flight plan has been submitted is cancelled, the appropriate ATS unit shall be informed immediately.

6 FLIGHT PLAN FORM FILING

The Flight Plan forms must be filled out with the prescribed formats and ways of filing, exactly as follows:

The data must be inserted in each of the Items, and when there is no information, it should be left empty, according to the formats established in this document.
The data shall be inserted in block letters and without corrections.
The time used shall be UTC (4 digits).
The expected flight time must be recorded in four digits (hours and minutes).
