Adacel Launches ICAO New Flight Plan Converter

Adacel (ASX:ADA) today announced the launch of a new tool designed to convert formats between the existing and the planned ICAO new flight plan. The flight plan converter is intended to facilitate the implementation by Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) of the ICAO approved new flight plan data requirements.

The ICAO new flight plan (INFPL) format will contain more detailed data concerning an aircraft’s Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) advanced capabilities in order to meet the evolving requirements of modern automated Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. ICAO has approved the new flight plan through an amendment to the Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Air Traffic Management (PANS-ATM, Doc 4444). It should be noted that although the new flight plan form implementation date is 15th November 2012 all States should have their systems available to accept the new flight plan form by mid 2012 in order that aviation users can become familiar with submitting the new format before the November deadline.

As an alternative to upgrading or replacing the ANSP’s existing Flight Data Processing (FDP) systems, Adacel is offering a flight plan converter as a robust and cost effective solution. The Adacel application interfaces with the Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network or the Aeronautical Message Handling System (AFTN/AMHS) circuits and the ANSP’s ATM/FDP system. It converts data between the new 2012 flight plan format and the legacy format to enable compatibility with both older and newer automated ATM systems without the need for system upgrade or replacement.
