In connection with the scheduled August 10 start of the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) mandate in Canadian airspace, Nav Canada recently issued Aeronautical Information Circular 10/23 describing fight plan filing requirements. The circular also details procedures Nav Canada will use to accommodate unequipped aircraft in ADS-B airspace.

Operators planning to enter ADS-B mandatory airspace must file the following equipage codes in Item 10 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) flight plan: B1 (ADS-B Out capability) or B2 (ADS-B In and Out capability). In addition, they need to include the following new entry in Item 18: SUR/CANMANDATE.
