Just a quick note to thank you again for info provided at the recurrent course. I have attended Scott IPC many times and I thoroughly enjoyed yesterdays course (practical and informative).

For Gander, the departure clearance will be the oceanic clearance unless it is modified by ATC. The aircraft shall NOT change the route unless ATC clears it for the route change.
Effective July 11, 2026, when a reroute is required, Gander Domestic FIR (CDQX) will resume issuing CPDLC amended route clearances [CLEARED TO (position) VIA (route clearance)] before an aircraft reaches its Oceanic Entry Point (OEP). The route may be issued by Gander Domestic FIR (CDQX), Moncton Domestic FIR (CZQM), or Montreal North Domestic FIR (CZUL).
Gander Oceanic FIR (CZQX) will continue to issue CPDLC amended route clearances once an aircraft is past its Oceanic Entry Point (OEP).
Our training focuses on the application side of international Flight Operations while surpassing the standards as set forth by the FAA.
In full honesty I was not looking forward to having to do an Initial again but I can say that this course was VERY different and very enjoyable. Shawn is a good teacher and explains items with relevancy which is huge. Look forward to coming to the site from time to time to square myself up. Many thanks!!
