Indicate data communication equipment and capabilities not
specified in Item 10 a) or “CPDLCX” to indicate exemption granted from the
requirement to be equipped with CPDLC-ATN-B1.

granted for the requirement to be equipped with SSR Mode S transponders or ADS-B
transmitters.
DEP/
Name and location of departure aerodrome, if ZZZZ is inserted in Item 13, or the ATS
unit from which supplementary flight plan data can be obtained, if AFIL is inserted
in Item 13. For aerodromes not listed in the relevant Aeronautical Information
Publication, indicate location as follows:
With 4 figures describing latitude in degrees and tens and units of minutes
followed by “N” (North) or “S” (South), followed by 5 figures describing longitude
in degrees and tens and units of minutes, followed by “E” (East) or “W” (West). Make
up the correct number of figures, where necessary, by insertion of zeros, e.g.
4620N07805W (11 characters).
OR
Bearing and distance from the nearest significant point, as
follows:
The identification of the significant point followed by the bearing from the
point in the form of 3 figures giving degrees magnetic, followed by the distance
from the point in the form of 3 figures expressing NM. In areas of high latitude
where it is determined by the appropriate authority that reference to degrees
magnetic is impractical, degrees true may be used. Make up the correct number of
figures, where necessary, by insertion of zeros, e.g. a point of 180° magnetic at a
distance of 40 NM from VOR “DUB” should be expressed as DUB180040.
OR
The first point of the route (name or LAT/LONG) or the marker
radio beacon, if the aircraft has not taken off from an aerodrome.
DEST/

aerodrome(s), if no indicator is allocated. For aerodromes not listed in the
relevant Aeronautical Information Publication, indicate location in LAT/LONG or
bearing and distance from the nearest significant point, as described in DEP/above.
TALT/
ICAO 4-letter indicator(s) for take-off alternate, as specified
in Doc 7910, Location Indicators, or name of take-off alternate aerodrome, if no
indicator is allocated. For aerodromes not listed in the relevant Aeronautical
