UPDATE YOUR ICAO SETTINGS TO MEET NAV CANADA ADS-B REQUIREMENT
As of Aug. 10, 2023, NAV CANADA has implemented the mandate of ADS-B “Out” in Canadian Class A airspace. For compliance, aircraft are required to be equipped with an ADS-B “Out” transponder and have antenna capability for broadcast toward both ground-based and space-based ADS-B receivers.
In addition, “SUR/CANMANDATE” will need to be included in Item 18 when filing ICAO flight plans in Canadian Class A airspace. In light of this, we’ve made it easy to include the remark by selecting the new CANMANDATE box under Settings > ICAO Data for appropriately equipped aircraft. This eliminates the need to manually enter the remark in Item 18 when creating a flight plan.
FLTPLAN.COM NOW INTEGRATES WITH BART
We’re excited to announce that FltPlan and BART are working together to provide a streamlined flight scheduling solution. With BART, you can schedule with ease — no matter the size of your operation — and keep records, create custom reports with flight actuals to share and store, provide the customer with a portal to request and view their scheduled trips, and take it on the go with the BART CoPilot app.
Seamlessly sync your scheduled BART flights directly within your FltPlan® account. Once routing is determined by FltPlan, the flight times, routes and recall numbers are automatically provided on BART trip sheets to minimize data entry and provide access to the highly accurate flight times for which FltPlan is known.
