IFR Flight Progress Data

Forward control information from controller to controller within a facility, then to the receiving facility as the aircraft progresses along its route. Where appropriate, use computer equipment in lieu of manual coordination procedures. Do not use the remarks section of flight progress strips in lieu of voice coordination to pass control information. Ensure that flight plan and control information is correct and up‐to‐date. When covered by a letter of agreement/facility directive, the time requirements of subparagraph a may be reduced, and the time requirements of subparagraph b1 and paragraph 2-2-11, Forwarding Amended and UTM Data, subparagraph a may be increased up to 15 minutes when facilitated by automated systems or mandatory radar handoffs; or if operationally necessary because of manual data processing or nonradar operations, the time requirements of subparagraph a may be increased.

1. Forward the following information at least 15 minutes before the aircraft is estimated to enter the receiving facility's area:
   1. Aircraft identification.
   2. Number of aircraft if more than one, wake category indicator, type of aircraft, and aircraft equipment suffix.
   3. Assigned altitude and ETA over last reporting point/fix in transferring facility's area or assumed departure time when the departure point is the last point/fix in the transferring facility's area.
   4. Altitude at which aircraft will enter the receiving facility's area if other than the assigned altitude.
   5. True airspeed.
   6. Point of departure.
   7. Route of flight remaining.
   8. Destination airport and clearance limit if other than destination airport.
   9. ETA at destination airport (not required for military or scheduled air carrier aircraft).
   10. Altitude requested by the aircraft if assigned altitude differs from requested altitude (within a facility only).
   11. When flight plan data must be forwarded manually and an aircraft has been assigned a beacon code by the computer, include the code as part of the flight plan.
   12. Longitudinal separation being used in nonradar operations between aircraft at thesamealtitude if it results in these aircraft having less than 10 minutes separation at the facilities' boundary, unless (otherwise) specified in a Letter of Agreement (LOA).
   13. Any additional nonroutine operational information pertinent to flight safety.
2. Forward position report over last reporting point in the transferring facility's area if any of the following conditions exist:
   1. Time differs more than 3 minutes from estimate given.
   2. Requested by receiving facility.
   3. Agreed to between facilities.
