NOTE-
1. If the flight is requesting an RNAV SID only (no RNAV STAR) or RNAV STAR only (no RNAV SID) then consult guidance
on the FAA website at
https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/air_traffic_services/flight_plan_filing.
2. PBN descriptor D1 includes the capabilities of D2, D3, and D4. PBN descriptor B1 includes the capabilities of B2,
B3, B4, and B5. PBN descriptor C1 includes the capabilities of C2, C3, and C4.
3. In NAV/, descriptors for advanced capabilities (Z1, P1, R1, M1, and M2) should be entered as a single character string
with no intervening spaces, and separated from any other entries in NAV/ by a space.
EXAMPLE-
NAV/Z1P1M2 SBAS

7. Automated Departure Clearance Delivery (DCL or PDC). When planning to use automated pre-departure
clearance delivery capability, file as indicated below.
(a) PDC provides pre-departure clearances from the FAA to the operator"s designated flight operations
center, which then delivers the clearance to the pilot by various means. Use of PDC does not require any special
flight plan entry.
(b) DCL provides pre-departure clearances from the FAA directly to the cockpit/FMS via Controller Pilot
Datalink Communications (CPDLC). Use of DCL requires flight plan entries as follows:
