Upcoming ICAO Flight Plans

Asked by: 1209 views FAA Regulations

I have been filing ICAO flight plans for over 2 years now thanks to help from John Collins. His advise "With your equipment, I would file: SBGR/CU2, I would also file PBN code of D2", well this works fine. My question now is should I add “Y” (VHF 8.33 kHz spacing) to my equipment code, primary comm radio is a GTN 650. SYBGR

Thanks.

    If you are flying in Europe, you will need to add Y. As far as the rest of the world, it is irrelevant. From the US AIP, states “Mandatory carriage of 8.33 KHz equipment has not been established in the US. The U.S. continues to use the channel separation of 25 KHz”.

    I know you don’t have a crystal ball, but what’s your guesstimate as to when if ever the U.S. will require 8.33Hz channel spacing?
