ICAO Flt Pln Item codes

[I-Fly-River]

Hi guys, i've been looking up on the flight plan codes, but cant find these 2 codes and need some clarification.

1) Item 10: equipment code E, does it stand for EGPWS or FMC with DME/DME and Datalink updating?? conflicting sources....

2) Item 18: PER/D, wat does the D code mean in terms of aircraft performance? cant find any info on this.

Hope someone can help wit this... thanks in advance.

According to this guide E is Decca

Flightplan (http://www.flyingineurope.be/Flightplan.htm)

For the performance question in item 18, have found this advice

PER/Aircraft performance data, if so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority.

Grasscarp,

Yes, I found those items as well, but need more details on them coz I cant seem to have conflicting sources.

E - Decca is for old flt pln as Decca is no longer in service. Also, US AIM states E is for FMC with DME/DME updating, how about for International ICAO? Some sources says E is for EGPWS.

As for PER/ need to know what are the details put in after the PER/....

Thanks.

Example : Performance Mach .78

PER/M0.78

Where did u find "PER/D" ?

[I-Fly-River]

PER/D was from a 747 flt plan. was wondering was the D was, thinking probably Aircraft Category D? Quite interesting though... maybe the differences based on where the aircraft flies to?

Jeppesen ATC Page AU-615

Item 18(b):

PER/ to indicate aircraft performance as described in TERMINAL, INSTRUMENT APPROACH/TAKEOFF PROCEDURES, paragraph 2.1; e.g., PER/B. IFR aircraft arriving at a controlled aerodrome must insert their performance category.

Not sure of an applicable reference for those outside of Australia.

Hi !
Item 18.

PER/
As Grasscarp (post 3 ) says ....if so prescribed by apprporiate ATS
authority. Looks like OZ are prescribers but never encountered it
elsewhere. See ICAO DOC 4444

Item 10

E - not allocated according to ICAO DOC 4444 . However, my DOC
may not be current ........

thanks guys....

its probably for australia operations... anyways, still trying to figure out the E also.. hehehe... thanks again.

[LGW217]

E is deffinatly unassigned at this time.

My flightplanning system uses PER/ for the cruise mach number, eg PER/M078 for .78 Mach, however I have never seen this a a requirement for field 18 outside of Australia.
