It's happening. The requirement for a separate Oceanic Clearance in the NAT HLA is ending. Significant technological advancements in Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance made this possible.
As an executive summary, the operator will send the Request for Clearance (RCL) that reflects the FMS loaded filed route but will not receive an Oceanic Clearance in return. Instead, ATC will use the data provided in the RCL to gather the information needed to deconflict and sequence traffic. If a reroute is required, an FMS loadable routing will be uploaded to the aircraft or received via Voice. Review the details below:
Our training focuses on the application side of international Flight Operations while surpassing the standards as set forth by the FAA.
I thought I'd provide you with a little feedback on yesterday's course. It was excellent and right on the money with respect to providing us with the latest updated information and best practices. Alex did a great job. He re-enforced much of what I have been advocating here for a while now and his "endorsement" will go a long way in helping us recognize the importance of following these best practices.
