NOTE
−
1.
Filing of RNP 2 alone is not supported in FAA controlled airspace; PBN/L1 (for RNP 4) or PBN/A1 (for RNP 10) must
be filed to obtain the indicated separation.
2.
Use of “RNP2” in NAV/ signifies continental RNP 2 (and means the same as M1). Continental RNP 2 is not adequate
for reduced oceanic separation. Descriptor M2 indicates RNP 2 global/oceanic RNP 2 capability.
10.
Date of Flight (Item 18 DOF/)
Flights planned more than 23 hours after the time the flight plan is filed, must include the date of flight in DOF/
expressed in a six
−
digit format YYMMDD, where YY equals the year (Y), MM equals the month, and DD equals
the day.
NOTE
−
FAA ATC systems will not accept flight plans more than 23 hours prior to their proposed departure time. FAA Flight
Service and commercial flight planning services generally accept flight plans earlier and forward to ATC at an appro-
priate time, typically 2 to 4 hours before the flight.

NOTE
−
Priority for a flight is not automatically granted based on filing one of these codes but is based on documented proce-
dures. In some cases, additional information may also be required in remarks; follow all such instructions as well.
