FLIGHT PLANNING AFTER OCEANIC ENTRY

 Communication/Navigation/Surveillance (CNS) Flight Plan  Squawk 2000 – 30 minutes after entry, if applicable
Codes and planning documents  Maintain assigned Mach, if applicable or if an immediate
 Plotting Chart – plot route from coast out to coast in temporary change in the Mach number is essential, ATC must
 Equal Time Points (ETP) - plot be notified as soon as possible.
 Track message (current copy available for all crossings)  VHF radios - set to air-to-air and guard frequency
o Note nearest tracks on plotting chart  Strategic Lateral Offset Procedures (SLOP) – SOP fly cleared
 Weather Analysis – Note enroute temperature and turbulence route or 1NM or 2NM to the right of ATC cleared track

If unable to continue in accordance with original ATC clearance, no revised clearance is obtained or no contact is made and prevailing
circumstances require immediate pilot action, follow in-flight contingency procedure:
Aircraft should leave assigned route or track initially turning right or • Turn ON all external lights
