DCP SE AOC Sub-team 6 Federal Aviation Administration 1 Feb 2013 SDB and ICAO FP ICAO Flight Plan Content –Optionally specifies the clearance type (DCL/PDC/Both) –Does not provide the address for the Dispatch message, Gate ID Request message or a PDC. Hierarchy for Information from ICAO FP and SDB –ICAO FP will take precedence over Web Access. ICAO FP is checked for Clearance Type first –IF Clearance preference is available in FP Types of Dispatch Copies (CC) are retrieved from the SDB ADNS address for CC is retrieved from the SDB –No clearance preference available Clearance preference is retrieved from the SDB Types of Courtesy Copies are retrieved from the SDB ADNS address for CC is retrieved from the SDB –Voice clearance is issued if the clearance type (DCL, PDC) is NOT specified in the ICAO flight plan or SDB
