new 1/2 degree Oceanic Tracks use by corporate operators
I teach International Procedures in the class room for FlightSafety International in Wilmington, Delaware. I have been asking the pilots who take my courses if they have been assigned one of the new 1/2 degree Organized Tracks yet. All who responded said “no”. Is there a policy in place that says only airline flights are presently being offered the new 1/2 degree tracks?
Thanks!

From what I could read so far as long as the aircraft is compliant the operator may file RLatSM tracks:
Eligibility:
-Authorized required navigation performance 4 (RNP 4)
-ADS-C (automated dependent surveillance-contact) and CPDLC (controller pilot data link communication) equipped and, where applicable, authorized
-Operating required communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) systems

NAT Doc 007
The NAT Doc 007 2015 edition has established the trial (see 1.10.10) and requirements.
I suppose it still going on as there is no change on this topic on the 2016 version.
Cheers…

Howdy Neighbor!
I suspect one of the reasons might be that the aircraft that meet the requirements for RLatSM typically fly above the top altitude for the tracks (typically FL390). That said, I suspect that an aircraft will not be assigned a random route (over a track) that is over an RLatSM track.
Make sense?
Purple beat me to it!

Random routes over the RLAT are being issued. Had one the other day. I guess as you are above it?
As rightfully said, this issue probably doesn't affect most operators of biz jets as they head over the top.
