ENR 1.10 FLIGHT PLANNING

1 Requirement for the Submission of a Flight Plan

1.1 All aircraft intending to conduct an IFR flight within the Hong Kong FIR shall file a flight
plan, except that authorised operators may submit a CAD approved flight notification
form for local VFR flights (page AD2-77).

2 Procedures for the Submission of a Flight Plan

2.1 There are three means of filing flight plans for flights departing HKIA

a) by Private Communication Network (PCN);

b) by AFTN (for scheduled flight operations only);
c) by Flight Plan Form

2.2 FILING OF FLIGHT PLAN BY PRIVATE COMMUNICATION NETWORK (PCN)

2.2.1 Airline operators can use the PCN service to submit flight plans to the AIMC for flights
departing HKIA.

2.2.2 PCN is the most effective means above all and is widely in use.

2.2.3 A customized flight plan form is provided by the system on-line for users to complete
and submit to the Aeronautical Information Centre for flights departing HKIA.

2.2.4 The flight plan form mimics the present ICAO flight plan format with the following
customization:

a) all flight plans are addressed to VHHHFPLM which is the default address on the
flight plan form;
b) for the purpose of flight plan message distribution by VHHHFPLM, an “AD/ ” field
is provided on the flight plan form for airline operators to insert up to a maximum
of 40 individual or collective AFTN addresses of the flight plan recipients. Please
note that VHHHFPLM is not permissible under the “AD/” field; and
c) flight plan Field 19 can be activated for the input of supplementary information
but Field 19 will not be transmitted as part of the normal flight plan message. The
supplementary information stored can be transmitted as a Supplementary Flight
Plan (SPL) upon request from ATC units.

2.2.5 Prior to the submission of flight plan, the system will perform validity checks on the
flight plan fields as follows:
a) syntactic check for fields allowing alpha characters only or digits only;
b) syntactic check on time format;
c) semantic check on aircraft type and location indicators for destination/alternate
aerodrome;

Civil Aviation Department Hong Kong

ENR 1.10-2
3 March 2016 AIP HONG KONG

d) syntactic check on route as required by ICAO Doc 4444, 15th Edition, Appendix
2 but no semantic check is provided;
e) checking of AFTN addresses in the “AD/” field against the global address
book; and
f) checking of all entries in Field 18 and sorting them according to the sequence
prescribed in ICAO Doc 4444, 15th Edition , Appendix 2.

2.2.6 For details of PCN service, refer to GEN 3.4 para 3.6.

2.3 FILING OF FLIGHT PLAN BY AFTN

2.3.1 This facility is only applicable to scheduled flight operations.

a) Flight plans are to be addressed to VHHHFPLM;

b) Addressees of flight plan recipients are to be inserted in the “AD” field positioned at
the beginning of the flight plan message, before the open bracket symbol; each line
of “AD” field shall be prefixed by the characters “AD”. “AD” and each addressee
shall be separated by a space; and a maximum of 7 addressees may be inserted to
each line of “AD” field.
c) Supplementary Information in Field Type 19 is not required but it should be made
readily available when requested by ATC units.

2.4 FILING OF FLIGHT PLAN BY FLIGHT PLAN FORM

2.4.1 The flight plan shall be completed on Flight Plan Form DCA6a. Flight plan forms other
than DCA6a will not be accepted.

2.4.2 Flight Plan Form DCA6a is downloadable from the following CAD website:
http://www.cad.gov.hk/application/DCA6a.pdf

2.4.3 The addressees of all recipients shall be inserted into the addressee boxes provided
in the beginning of the flight plan form.

2.4.4 To ensure legibility, flight plan data shall be printed onto the flight plan form. Only fair
copies of flight plan will be accepted. A flight plan form with manuscript entries or
amendments will be rejected and not processed.

2.4.5 Completed Flight Plan Form DCA6a shall be submitted to AIMC by the following
means:

a) by hand to the staff in the AIMC, HKIA; or

b) by facsimile to the AIMC, HKIA, fax number 2910 1180.

Civil Aviation Department Hong Kong

 ENR 1.10-3
AIP HONG KONG 3 March 2016

2.4.6 The ultimate responsibility for compiling an accurate flight plan rests with pilots and/or
airline operators. In order to avoid undue delay in flight plan processing, operators are
advised to refer to the guidance notes appended to the Flight Plan Form DCA6a and
other pertinent documents to ensure the information entered into the form is compliant
with all relevant requirements.

3 Time of Submission

3.1 Airline operators can file a FPL up to 5 days (120 hours) prior to the EOBT but the
FPL will be held in the system and only be transmitted to the Addressees annotated in
Item 18 of the FPL when it is 24 hours prior to the EOBT.
3.2 Any aircraft departing from Hong Kong is required to file a flight plan at least
60 minutes prior to the estimated off-block time (EOBT).

3.3 In the event of a delay of 30 minutes in excess of the EOBT for a flight for which a
flight plan has been submitted, the flight plan should be amended, or a new flight plan
submitted and the old flight plan cancelled, whichever is applicable.

4 Place of Submission

4.1 Aircraft inbound to Hong Kong or overflying through the Hong Kong FIR will file a flight
plan either at the aerodrome of departure or with the telecommunications service en-
route.

5 Contents and Form of Flight Plan

5.1 For airline operators operating non-scheduled flights or general aviation flights at
HKIA, aircraft identification used in Item 7 of the flight plan and flight number / call sign
used for flight application via Electronic Filing System in Hong Kong CAD website
<http://www.cad.gov.hk> shall be identical.

5.2 Because the Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) in Hong Kong is fully automated
the flight plan data must be submitted in accordance with the standard format
designed for the purpose. All operators are required to strictly comply with the route
syntax specified in paragraphs 7 to 10. Any discrepancy made on FPL will be rejected
by the system which can cause delay to the flight.

5.3 In addition to the flight plan requirements detailed in this section, operators shall refer
to ENR 1.8 para 8 and strictly adhere to the flight levels prescribed in the Flight Level
Assignment Scheme.

5.4 Any aircraft planning to enter/transit the Hong Kong FIR, must insert in Item 18 of the
flight plan form:

a) the Date of Flight field in the form of DOF/yymmdd;

b) the national registration letters/numbers of the aircraft if different from the aircraft
identification in Item 7;
c) the accumulated estimated elapsed time to the Hong Kong FIR in the form of EET/
VHHK and without a space, a four figure group indicating hours and minutes.

5.5 Only specific indicators shall be used in Item 18 (Other Information) and adherence to
the specific sequence of the indicators is mandatory.

Civil Aviation Department Hong Kong

ENR 1.10-4
25 May 2017 AIP HONG KONG

5.6 Free text is not allowed for ‘STS/’ of Item 18, only specific indicators as prescribed in
ICAO Doc 4444, Appendix 2 shall be used.

6 Changes to the Submitted Flight Plan for Flights Departing Hong Kong

6.1 Airline operators, regardless of their means of filing flight plans, shall inform the AIMC
by telephone of any subsequent changes to a Filed Flight Plan (FPL) so that
associated ATS message such as Delay (DLA), Modification (CHG) and Flight Plan
Cancellation (CNL) can be sent by AIMC.

6.2 In order to avoid confusion, airline operators shall not send DLA, CHG or CNL with the
PCN system on their own.
