ATC FPL

[AvivBashan 0]

Hey there,

 

I've just got an OFP and there is something in the ATC FPL that I do not understand..

Here is the part that I don't understand: "IFP/MODEASP".

 

What's the meaning of IFP and MODEASP ? 

 

Regards

I think it's IFP/MODESASP. According to the following quote this is automatically added to the flightplan by Eurocontrol's Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System:

 

The IFPS checks the profile of a flight to determine whether or not a Mode S equipped flight remains entirely within Mode S airspace and if so IFPS adds the IFP/MODESASP indicator to the flight plan distributed to ATC units.

[uR.FPL.SEQPT.002]new (added in CTOR)

The IFPS mechanisms should be adapted such that compliance with Mode S checking can be achieved when one or more of the indications 'E', 'H', 'L', ‘S’ or ‘I’ is present in Field 10b.

Got you, but I still don't understand for what the MODEASP stands for..

It 'means' what it says in the quote above.

 

I would imagine it is derived from 'MODE S AirSPace'.
