Q

Flight plan checks carried out by the Flight Data Processor (FDP)?

A
  1. Syntax - formatting to ICAO FPL syntax
  2. Semantics - recognised AC type, wake turbulence category, cruise speed, performance capabilities, RFL, route and waypoint name and order.
  3. Uniqueness - ACID, ETD, ADEP, ADES to determine if FPL requires a unique FDR
  4. Route validity - Field 15 items - RFL, cruise speeds, waypoints, route designators, SID, STAR, dynamic routes (flex/UPR)
