Clearance.​ ​ ​
Estimate for​ Oceanic​ Entry​ ​
After​ obtaining​ and reading​ back the​ clearance,​ the pilot​ should monitor​ the forward estimate​ ​
for​ oceanic entry,​ and if​ this changes​ by​ 3 minutes or​ more,​ should pass​ a revised estimate​ ​
to ATC.​ As planned longitudinal spacing​ by​ these OACs is based solely​ on the estimated​ ​
times​ over​ the oceanic​ entry​ fix​ or boundary,​ failure to adhere​ to​ this​ ETA amendment​ ​
procedure​ may​ jeopardise planned separation between aircraft, thus resulting in​ a ​
subsequent re-clearance to​ a​ less​ economical track/flight level for​ the​ ​ complete​ ​ crossing.​ ​
Any​ such failure may​ also penalise following​ aircraft.

This is what our manual says......is it out of date.....or was this never correct?
