FPFDE FF-ICE/R1 Mixed Mode Transition Operations

The objective for this document is to present the main factors which have to be taken into account, as part of a transition plan to support mixed modes of initial flight planning, with translation and conversion measures, and to evaluate and mitigate any obstacles or difficulties that may arise.

The implementation of FF-ICE flight planning and its adoption within Europe involves an extensive transition period, during which mixed modes of operation have to be supported. This includes changes to the current flight planning methods, some of which have been identified by ICAO as mandatory for implementation globally. These are also addressed in the European perspective by regulatory measures which are intended to expedite this transition.

This impacts on all parties involved in the initial flight planning activities and FF-ICE involves the introduction of functionality which is fundamentally different to that currently deployed.
