FORWARDING FLIGHT PLAN DATA BETWEEN U.S. ARTCCs AND CANADIAN ACCs

This reproduces published FAA reference text for study. It does not replace the current official FAA publication or regulation.

EN ROUTE

Domestic. (Continental U.S./Canadian airspace except Alaska) Proposed departure flight plans and en route estimates will be handled on a 30 minute lead time (or as bilaterally agreed) between any ACC and ARTCC.

International. Any route changes (except SIDs) must be forwarded to the appropriate Oceanic/Pre‐oceanic ACC or ARTCC with an optimum lead time of 30 minutes or as soon as this information becomes available.

Initially, if a flight goes from U.S. airspace into Canadian airspace and returns to U.S. airspace, the ACC will be responsible for forwarding the flight plan data to the appropriate ARTCC by voice transmission except for flights which traverse mutually agreed on airways/fixes. These airways/fixes will be determined on a case‐by‐case basis and will be based on time and distance considerations at the service area office.
