Amending Flight Plans

Editing Flight Plans

1. Important Consideration:

   Note: We only check the section of the route that is within Turkey. Anything outside of Turkey is not our concern.

2. Altitudes:

  Right-click on the destination to open the flight plan.

 Check the Direction of Flight:

  Westbound: Must fly at an even level (e.g., FL320, FL340, FL360).

      Eastbound: Must fly at an odd level (e.g., FL310, FL330, FL350, FL370).

Example:

 If traffic is flying LTFM-EDDF and has filed FL350, note that Frankfurt is west of Istanbul, so the traffic must fly at an even level. You can correct this using the following phraseology:

 "THY5EV, Istanbul Ground, hello. Flying westbound, I can offer you FL340 or FL360."

     (Since FL350 is requested, it makes sense to suggest one level lower and one higher as the correct FL.)

            The traffic will either confirm or request a different level. Once you have a level, say:

 "THY5EV, roger, final level updated to FL340."
