    The document discusses how to properly fill out an ATC flight plan, including explanations of the different boxes and fields, VFR limits, and examples of filling out a plan for local flights.

    Item numbers 7 through 10, 13, 15, and 16 are discussed in detail regarding what information should be included in each.

    The VFR limits for visibility and distance from clouds in different airspace classes and altitude bands are shown in a table.

    ATC Flight Plan

    What do the boxes mean and How to fill them up?


    Definition of Flight Plan: Specified information provided to air traffic services units, relative to an
    intended flight or portion of a flight of an aircraft.
    Sample ATC Flight Plan:

    What do the boxes mean and How to fill them up?


    The above box is for the use of ATC and Communication Personnel.

    The above box is for the use of ATC and Communication Personnel. However, for the efficiency of
    workflow of the ATC personnel at Chittagong Tower, we fill it up in accordance with the intended
    flight that we are planning to fly.
    Usually for Local Flights that we carry out mostly, we fill up the above box in the following manner:

    Note that the addressee(s) start with


    VGHSZQZX (Dhaka Control), VGHSFICX (Dhaka
    FIR) and VGCBZTZX (Coxs Bazar Tower) [Coxs
    Bazar being the Alternate Airport]. For training
    flights these are the long followed addresses.
    However, while VGHSZQZX and VGHSFICX
    remain the same for all flights that take place
    over Bangladeshi Airspace, VGCBZTZX may not
    be there all the time, as mentioned before it
    was there being an Alternate Airport. It could
    be VGHSZTZX (Dhaka Tower) if you were to fly
    to Dhaka [VGHS] from Chittagong [VGEG].

    Then you have to fill up the Originator box, which shall read the Tower to which the flight plan has
    been submitted to:

    Item number 7: Aircraft Identification

    This is where you shall write the Registration


    Mark of the intended aircraft that you want to fly; i.e. S2AEX, S2AEY or S2AEN. Note that there is
    no hyphen () in between S2 and AEY.

    Item number 8: Flight Rules and Type of Flight

    Here you shall write either V for a VFR flight or I if an IFR flight is intended; and always write G
    in the Type of Flight box.
    Heres a quick reminder the VFR limits:
    VMC visibility and distance from cloud minima are contained in the table below:

    **Note:
    The VMC minima in class A airspace are included for guidance to pilots and do not
    imply acceptance of VFR flights in class A airspace.
    *Note:

    When so prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority:


    a.

    Flight visibilities reduced to not less than 1500 m may be permitted for flight
    operating:
    (1)

    At speeds that, in the prevailing visibility, will get adequate


    opportunity to observe other traffic or other obstacles in time to
    avoid collision; or,

    (2)

    b.

    In circumstances in which the probability to encounters with


    other traffic would normally be low, e.g. in areas of low volume
    traffic and for aerial work at low levels.

    HELICOPTERS may be permitted to operate in less than 1500 m flight visibility, if


    maneuvered at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or
    any obstacles in time to avoid collision.

    Item Number 9: Type of Aircraft and Wake Turbulence Category

    In
    the
    Type of Aircraft box you shall write down the type of aircraft you intend to fly. For Cessna 152 write
    down C-152 and for Cirrus SR 20 G3 write down SR-20. Note that there is a hyphen () in
    between C and 152.
    The Wake Turbulence Cat is always L for our training flights.
    Item Number 10 (a,b): Equipment

    Consult the following table for the meaning of the letters you shall write in the Equipment box.

    Item Number 13: Departure Aerodrome and Time


    The Departure Aerodrome is the one you are commencing your flight from and the the time shall
    always be in

    UTC.

    Item Number 15: Cruising Speed, Level and Route

    The cruising speed shall start with N followed by 4 (Four) digits, like here for C-152 aircraft the
    cruising speed is N0090. The altitude that you intend to maintain for the flight shall be written in 3
    (Three) digits following the letter A. Those who will be flying routes in the Cirrus SR -20 aircraft
    shall write down the desired Flight Level in 3 (Three) digits following the letter F like F060.
    The route for local flights shall be VGEG-Local. When you shall fly Cross-country mission under VFR
    conditions at low levels you shall write down the different legs and names of place with intended
    track. For example, if you plan a cross-country mission starting from Chittagong to Chiringa, then to
    Kutubdia, Bashkhali then back to Chittagong, you shall fill up the Route box as shown in the

    following diagram:
    When you shall file a flight plan for route flying it should be as follows. For a flight from VGEG to
    VGHS at Flight Level 080 following the route G463:

    Item number 16: Destination Aerodrome, Total EET, 1st/2nd ALTN Aerodrome
    Item number 18: Other Information

    Please consult the New ICAO flight plan format publication (Pg. 19-22). You can download a copy of
