The FF-ICE concept was developed to address the limitations and constraints of the current flight planning mechanism, commonly known as FPL2012 and the increasing need for the exchange of flight and flow information in a trajectory-based operations (TBO) environment. The session will provide an overview of the FF-ICE concept and global requirements and procedures that are envisioned to be applicable in November 2024. The session will also discuss considerations for planning and implementation of the FF-ICE services, including transition strategy and determining regional and national dates for sunsetting FPL2012. The session will also provide an outlook on global ATM concepts, such as connected aircraft and trajectory-based operations, and consider how to transition by implementing key building blocks.
