About the Customer Aircraft Database

IMPORTANT This document contains information on International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) 2012 database parameters. The Jeppesen cutover to the ICAO
2012 Filed Flight Plan (FPL) format occurred on November 14, 2012. All flight plans
filed with Jeppesen flight planning products are now filed in the ICAO 2012 format by
default. Flight plans not filed in the ICAO 2012 format might be rejected by (Air Traffic
Control) ATC.
IMPORTANT This document assumes a working knowledge of the “Procedures for

Air Navigation Services — Air Traffic Management, Fifteenth Edition (PANS-ATM,
DOC 4444)” which describes the ICAO 2012 FPL requirements in detail.
For information on the ICAO 2012 parameters in the CADB, see “CADB Parameters: “ICAO
2012 Certification and Equipment” Section” on page 88. For a summary of ICAO 2012
changes and filing requirements, see the “ATC Filing” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual or
the Help topic for the ATC Filing page on JetPlan.com.
The CADB provides a medium for the creation, storage and maintenance of aircraft
information in convenient records. CADB records can be used in the JetPlan system on a
regular basis, replacing generic aircraft inputs, minimizing other input requirements, and
increasing your flight planning capabilities in general. You identify each CADB record with a
name of your choosing. (Aircraft tail numbers are commonly used for CADB record names.)
The information stored in a record includes static and dynamic performance factors, specific
output factors, and other factors that support various feature applications.
The CADB interacts with several related but separate databases that support specific JetPlan
features. For instance, the Route Constraint Database is a separate database that interacts with
information in the CADB. The Route Constraint Database enables you to impose constraints
on route selection based on the equipment and certifications defined for the aircraft in the
CADB. For more information, see the “Route Constraint Database” chapter in the JetPlan
User Manual.

In addition, the CADB contains several sections or “sub-databases” that support specific
JetPlan features. The following sections provide information about the CADB subsections and
parameters:
• “CADB Parameters by Section” on page 26

• “CADB Record Sections” on page 5
NOTE The number of options available in the CADB depends both on the access
privileges assigned to the password you use to access the system and on your
customer preference settings.
CADB Records
CADB records originate from generic aircraft data records residing in the JetPlan Aircraft
Library in the JetPlan system. Every generic record in the library is derived from the structural
and performance data developed by the aircraft manufacturer. The data within a generic record
is specific to the model configuration and engine type for the aircraft. Certain models might
have more than one generic record, depending on modifications, refittings, and customer
input. For more information on the JetPlan Aircraft Library, see the “Aircraft Type
Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
When you create a CADB record, you save the characteristic data for a specific instance of a
generic aircraft found in the JetPlan Aircraft Library. You define required and optional
parameters relevant to your operation and provide a name for the database record.
You do not need to set values for all the parameters in an aircraft database record before you
can use it. Some parameters, however, are preset with values carried over from the aircraft’s
generic data (for example, certain weight limitations). In general, values must be defined for
the preset parameters, as they are vital to the performance characteristics of the aircraft and the
JetPlan computation process. Within certain limits, you can elect to change the values of
preset parameters, but you cannot delete these values completely.
With the exception of Operational Weight, parameters that show no preset values upon record
creation can be set as needed or left untouched. Operational Weight must be given a value
before you can use the record in a flight plan. The use of other unset parameters is strictly
optional and dependent on the information you want to see in the flight plan or on the type of
operation you employ.

For detailed definitions of the CADB parameters, see “CADB Parameters by Section” on
page 26.
NOTE Generic aircraft records must be loaded into your account by Jeppesen
before you can access them. For more information, contact your Jeppesen account
manager.
CADB Record Sections

A CADB record contains a large number of parameters. These parameters are grouped into
separate sections that divide the record into logical units of information. You can view all the
parameters within a given database record or just those within a specific section. When you
view the Aircraft Record summary page in JetPlan.com, you are looking at the current values
of the parameters within each section of the selected CADB record.
NOTE The following image does not show the entire Aircraft Record page.
The parameters on the Aircraft Record page correspond to editable options that appear in
JetPlan.com on the Change <Section> in Aircraft Record pages. These JetPlan.com options
allow you to modify the aircraft records.

CADB Parameters by Section

The following tables define all of the parameters available in the CADB. Each table below
corresponds to a section in a database record. Each parameter in a table appears as an option
on the corresponding CADB page in JetPlan.com. As you use JetPlan.com to review, create,
and modify aircraft records, consult these tables for detailed information on the parameters,
including the role they play in flight planning and their valid input values.
NOTE Depending on your customer preference settings, some options in the

following tables might not be available in JetPlan.com. For more information, contact
your Jeppesen account manager.
NOTE JetPlan.com is the recommended interface for customer database

maintenance. For the convenience of JetPlan command-line users, the tables below
list JetPlan database codes under the parameter names.
CADB Parameters “Weights” Section

The “Weights” section provides parameters that help you define the aircraft’s weight
limitations.
Table 2 CADB Record: “Weights” Section
Parameter Description
NOTE Unless stated otherwise, all parameter values in this table are entered as pounds or kilograms.
Max Takeoff Weight Enables you to adjust the takeoff weight. You can change the setting, but only
(TO) within certain limits for the aircraft.
NOTE This parameter is preset with a value from the generic version of the
aircraft.
Max Landing Weight Enables you to adjust the landing weight. You can change the setting, but only
(LA) within certain limits for the aircraft.
aircraft.

26
Table 2 CADB Record: “Weights” Section (continued)
Max Zero Fuel Weight Enables you to adjust the zero fuel weight. You can change the setting, but only
(ZF) within certain limits for the aircraft.
aircraft.
NOTE If the Zero Fuel Table (ZT) parameter is set to Yes, the Max Zero Fuel
Weight (ZF) parameter must be set to the lowest value in the MZFW table in the
Generic Aircraft Database record.
Operational Weight Enables you to set the basic operational weight (BOW) or operational empty
(OP) weight (OEW). You can change the setting, but only within certain limits for the
aircraft.
NOTE This parameter must be set before using the aircraft record in a flight
plan request.
Max Payload Enables you to set the maximum payload. Typically, MP=ZF-OP, but you can
(MP) change the setting to limit payload to a value less than typical.
aircraft.
Max Ramp Weight Enables you to set the ramp weight to a value greater than the maximum takeoff
(RW) weight. The weight beyond maximum takeoff would typically represent
departure taxi fuel.
Nav Charges Weight Enables you to set the weight at which navigational fees are levied. Typically,
(NW) the maximum takeoff weight is the value used, but this parameter enables you
to adjust the value.
Min. Flight Weight This parameter is used to ensure that a minimum in-flight weight is maintained.
(MW) When set to a non-zero, positive value, JetPlan compares the MW value with
the calculated enroute weight (the sum of the aircraft’s operational weight,
payload, and unusable fuel at various mid-segment points). If the calculated
value is less than the MW value, JetPlan adds enough unusable fuel to meet the
MW value and recalculate the plan. Thus, weight is increased and fuel capacity
is decreased.
NOTE This parameter is format or ID/Password-dependent.

27
CADB Parameters: “Fuels” Section

The “Fuels” section contains parameters for various fuel specifications allowed in JetPlan.
Table 3 CADB Record: “Fuels” Section
NOTE Unless stated otherwise, all parameter values in this table are to be entered as pounds or kilograms.
Zero Fuel Table Enables you to access the aircraft’s MZFW table (if it exists in the aircraft’s
(ZT) generic data record), which sets the zero fuel weight for the aircraft to an
amount related to the planned takeoff weight. If takeoff weight is reduced so
that it meets specific thresholds, zero fuel weight is increased.
The input value is Yes or No. No is the default setting.
NOTE The MZFW table does not exist in every aircraft and must be requested
for load in your aircraft.
NOTE If the ZT parameter is set to Yes, the Max Zero Fuel Weight (ZF)
parameter must be set to the lowest value in the MZFW table in the Generic
Aircraft Database record.
Hold Calculation ZF When set to Yes, this parameter instructs JetPlan to determine hold fuel based
(HC) on the zero fuel weight table instead of the calculated landing weight. The
MZFW table must exist in the aircraft’s generic data record before this
parameter is applicable to your operation.
The input value is Yes or No. No is the default setting.
Max Fuel Capacity Enables you to set the fuel capacity of the aircraft to some value less than
(FC) default (using standard density, 6.7 lbs/gal).
aircraft.
Holding Fuel Flow Enables you to set the fuel flow rate for the holding fuel calculation. This
(HF) parameter works in coordination with the hold time you specify in the flight
plan request.
The value you enter represents all engines combined per hour. Example: 15000
Min. Fuel Enables you to set a minimum amount of fuel the aircraft must have at Top of
(MF) Descent (TOD). If the calculated fuel total for holding, alternate divert, and
reserve/contingency is less than the MF value, JetPlan adds extra fuel.
Min. Hold Fuel Enables you to set a minimum amount of fuel for the purpose of holding. This
(MH) parameter only applies when you specify a hold time of one minute or more in
the flight plan request (a hold time input of zero does not invoke the MH
parameter). If the calculated hold fuel is less than the MH value, JetPlan adds
fuel to meet this minimum. Example: 5000
Min. Departure Fuel Enables you to set a minimum amount of fuel for departure. Ensures that the
(MD) fuel listed in the total fuel block of the flight plan has at least the amount
specified. Example: 50000

Min. Alternate Fuel Enables you to set a minimum amount of fuel for alternate divert. This
(MA) parameter only applies when you specify an alternate airport in the flight plan
request. If the calculated alternate fuel is less than the MA value, JetPlan adds
more fuel to meet this minimum. Example: 5500
Step Climb Fuel Adds a fuel penalty of the amount specified for every step climb initiated in the
(SF) flight plan calculation. Example: 400
Reserve Fuel Enables you to set a minimum amount of fuel for reserve. This parameter only
(RF) applies when the flight plan is calculated in the departure fuel or weight case
(when you specify departure fuel or weight). Example: 5000
Approach Fuel Adds the amount specified to the Extra Fuel block. The AF value is in addition
(AF) to the calculated approach fuel included in the Descent or Alternate Fuel block.
Example: 2000
Min. Contingency/RES Fuel Ensures a minimum amount of fuel in the Contingency or Reserve Fuel block.
(MC) If calculated amount is less than the MC value, JetPlan adds fuel to meet this
minimum. Example: 4500
Fuel Over Destination Similar to the MF parameter (see above). Adds a warning message to flight plan
Warning output that the minimum specified has not been met in the calculation.
(FW) Example: 22000
NOTE This capability is dependent on specific output format designs. Contact
your Jeppesen account manager for more information.
Min. Contingency/RES Similar to the MC parameter (see above). Ensures a minimum amount of fuel in
Time the Contingency or Reserve Fuel block. If the calculated amount is less than the
(MT) MT value, JetPlan adds fuel to meet this minimum. The input value must be
specified as minutes. Example: 25
Taxi Fuel Flow This parameter works in coordination with the Taxi-out and Taxi-in Time
(TX) parameters (TO and TI) in the Customer Airport Database. If the departure or
arrival airport is in the Airport Database and has a taxi time value specified, that
time is applied to the TX value to determine taxi fuel. The TX value represents
all engines combined per hour. Example: 2500
This parameter also works in coordination with the taxi-in and out data sets in
the City Pair Fleet Database and the Airport Fleet Database.
Max Contingency/RES Fuel Enables you to set a maximum amount of fuel that can go in the Contingency or
(MX) Reserve Fuel block. If calculated amount is more than the MX value, JetPlan
distributes excess to Extra Fuel block. Example: 8000

29
Min. Emergency Fuel This parameter is dependent on specific output format designs. JetPlan adds a
(FE) warning message to the flight plan output if calculated emergency fuel does not
meet the FE value. Example: 15000
NOTE Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more information.
Reserve + This parameter can be used to specify a minimum amount of Reserve and
Hold/Contingency Holding/Contingency fuel. If the sum of Reserve and Hold/Contingency fuel is
(RH) less than the desired minimum, JetPlan increases the Reserve fuel accordingly.
NOTE The RH parameter has no effect unless Special Reserve Policy 46 or 48
(RESDOM 46 or 48) is set. Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more
information.
Taxi-out Fuel Enables you to set a specific departure taxi fuel amount. Example: 2200
(DT)
Situation Code The situation code applies to aircraft that require the auxiliary power unit
(ST) (APU) to be running while in ETOPS airspace.
Input values:
• E – APU fuel burn is calculated for the time while in ETOPS airspace.
• W – APU fuel burn is calculated for the whole flight.
• X – APU fuel burn is calculated from takeoff to the ETOPS exit point.
NOTE The X situation code is used only with ETOPS II flight plan options.
Contact Jeppesen Customer Support for more information.
• None – Set to None if you do not need to calculate ETOPS APU burn
while in ETOPS airspace.
NOTE The APU Burn Rate (BR) parameter value is applied only when the
Situation Code parameter is set to E, W, or X.

30
Taxi-in Fuel Enables you to set a specific arrival taxi fuel amount. Example: 1500
(AT) The following overrides apply to the use of the DT and AT parameters:
• Ad hoc taxi fuel inputs on the POD or POA command lines of a flight plan
request override all taxi fuel settings in various databases, including the
CADB DT and AT parameters.
• Taxi fuel inputs on the POD or POA command lines of a Customer
Schedule Database record override all taxi fuel settings in other databases,
including the CADB DT and AT parameters.
• The DT and AT parameters do not override format-generated taxi fuel
values.
• The DT and AT parameters do not override software-generated taxi fuel
values (customer-specific).
International Reserve Policy This parameter enables a default International Reserve Fuel Policy value to be
(IR) set.
This field can contain the following values:
• -32768 – Unset value
• 0 – Unset value
• 101-199, 201-299, 301-399, 401-499, 601-699, 701-799, & 801-899 –
Valid International Reserve Policy entries as defined in the “Payload,
POD/POA, Weight and Fuel Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User
Manual.
Example: 301
APU Burn Rate The APU burn rate parameter applies to aircraft that require the APU to be
(BR) running while in ETOPS airspace. This parameter refers to the unloaded APU
burn rate. Unloaded in this context means that the APU is running idle. When
the APU is running idle, the fuel burn is lower than when there is a load on the
APU. The APU fuel burn is not included in the Critical Fuel Scenario (CFS)
calculation.
Input value: Pounds or kilos per hour
Example value: 185
NOTE The BR parameter value is applied only if the Situation Code (ST)
parameter is set to E, W, or X.
NOTE Separate display of the APU fuel burn on the flight plan is format-
dependent. The APU fuel burn is part of the trip fuel if not otherwise defined in
the format.
Fuel Type Identifies the fuel type used by the aircraft. This parameter is used to calculate
(FU) CO2 emissions in support of EU ETS flight planning.
NOTE If the Fuel Type parameter is not set in the CADB when the Flight Brief
Database EU ETS flag or the EUETS line option is used, an error occurs.
Valid input values: JET A, JET A1, JET B, AVGAS
Default: Blank

31
Minimum Safe Divert Enables you to define a minimum amount of reserve fuel in pounds or kilos for
Alternate Fuel arrival at a Point of Safe Diversion/Return (PSD) divert airport.
(MDF) This parameter does not cause more fuel to be added to the aircraft. It only
ex. MDF=6000 determines how much fuel is still on board when arriving at your diversion
airports.
Input value: Weight in pounds or kilos, depending on the weight unit used for
the aircraft. Default is 0.
Example value: 6000
NOTE For more information, see the “Point of Safe Diversion and Point of Safe
Return” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
NOTE This parameter is not yet available in JetPlan.com. However, you can
configure this parameter using command-line inputs—for example: 01 OPTIONS
AC,CHG,<CADB Record Name>,MDF=6000. See the JetPlan User Manual for
complete instructions on using the command-line to maintain this database.
Minimum Safe Divert Enables you to define a minimum amount of reserve fuel in minutes for arrival
Alternate Time at a Point of Safe Diversion/Return (PSD) divert airport.
(MDT) This parameter does not cause more fuel to be added to the aircraft. It only
ex. MDT=10 determines how much fuel is still on board when arriving at your diversion
airports.
Input value: Time in minutes. Default is 0.
Example value: 10
NOTE For more information, see the “Point of Safe Diversion and Point of Safe
Return” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
NOTE This parameter is not yet available in JetPlan.com.However, you can
configure this parameter using command-line inputs—for example: 01 OPTIONS
AC,CHG,<CADB Record Name>,MDT=10. See the JetPlan User Manual for
complete instructions on using the command-line to maintain this database.

32
CADB Parameters: “Miscellaneous” Section

The “Miscellaneous” section contains parameters that apply to various unrelated features on
the JetPlan system, including cruise Cost Index Method parameters and Climb/Descent
Method parameters. To use the OUTFLT cruise cost index method and the FPM cruise and
climb/descent methods, you must ensure that the aircraft has OUTFLT and FPM files
available. You can use the Search All Aircraft Types menu option in JetPlan.com to search
for this information. See “Viewing a JetPlan Generic Aircraft Record” on page 14.
Table 4 CADB Record: “Miscellaneous” Section
Performance Index Enables you to define the overriding optimization factor (fuel, time, or total
(PI) cost) in the calculation of the flight plan. The input value choices are: fuel, time,
or money. The default setting is fuel optimization.
NOTE If a fuel price has been set in the Customer Airport Database record, that
price takes precedence over what is set in the CADB.
For more information about these optimization factors, see the “Profile
Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
Print ETOPS Setting this parameter to Yes displays the “ETOPS” section of the database in
(EP) the aircraft record. This section is otherwise hidden in the CADB record.
Max Flight Level Enables you to prevent the aircraft from exceeding a specific flight level
(FL) (altitude) in the flight plan computation. The input value is a 3-digit entry that
identifies a flight level in hundreds of feet.
Print Brackets Setting this parameter to Yes displays the “Bracket Modes” and “Mode
(BK) Coupling” sections of the database in the aircraft record. These sections are
otherwise hidden in the CADB record.
NOTE JetPlan.com does not currently support modifying the “Bracket Modes”
section.
Min. Alternate Distance Enables you to set a minimum distance to the alternate airport. If the actual
(AD) distance from the arrival airport to the alternate airport is less than the AD
value, JetPlan adds distance to meet the AD value. The entered value acts as a
distance bias, allowing JetPlan to properly calculate the performance data for
the divert leg.
The input value can be a 1 to 3-digit entry, in nautical miles.

33
Table 4 CADB Record: “Miscellaneous” Section (continued)
Print Altitude Capability When you set the Print Altitude Capability Table parameter to Yes or to
Table (CW) FPM/OUTFLT Available (A), the application displays the “Cutoff Weight
Tables” (altitude capability) section of the database in the CADB record.
Otherwise, the “Cutoff Weight Tables” section is hidden.
The cutoff weight tables enable you to apply flight-level limitations to the
aircraft based on specific flight conditions, such as altitude, temperature, and
Mach number.
The Print Altitude Capability Table parameter also activates cutoff weight
tables for use with a specified cost index method. The Cost Index Method (LC)
parameter in the “Misc” section of the CADB lets you specify the cost index
method. The options in the “Cutoff Weight Tables” section then let you activate
specific tables for use with your selected cost index method.
Input values:
• Yes – The cutoff weight tables are activated for use with any of the
following cost index methods, which you can set using the Cost Index
Method parameter:
– (N) Default CI Method
– (F) FMS Matching
– (L) Traditional Method
– (Y) Simulated CI
• FPM/OUTFLT Available (A) – The cutoff weight tables are activated for
use with any of the following cost index methods, which you can set using
the Cost Index Method parameter:
– (P) FMS Matching (FPM)
– (O) FMS Matching (OUTFLT)
– (G) Golden Section Search (FPM)
NOTE For more information, see the Cost Index Method parameter in Table , “,”
on page 33 and the Cutoff Wt Tables parameter in “CADB Record: “Cutoff Weight
Tables” Section” on page 45.
SITA Address JetPlan does not currently use this value.

(SI)
Print Driftdown Setting this parameter to Yes displays the “Driftdown” (Terrain Analysis)
(DD) section of the database in the aircraft record. This section is otherwise hidden in
the CADB record.
NOTE Access to the “Driftdown” section is limited to certain customers.
Profile Optimization Provides control over the altitude optimization, or step climb process. Enables
Interval you to override the programmed review of step climbs at each checkpoint by
(OI) setting a distance (in nautical miles) at which JetPlan considers a step climb.
Thus, if a flight segment distance (checkpoint to checkpoint) is greater than the
OI value, JetPlan considers a step climb somewhere between the checkpoints,
as well as at the checkpoints. Example: 100.

34
Hold Altitude Enables you to set the altitude at which hold fuel is calculated. This parameter
(HA) overrides the hold altitude setting loaded in the aircraft’s generic data. The input
value is an altitude entry, in feet. Example: 15000.
NOTE The Hold Altitude parameter is dependent on hold table data. You must
request that the aircraft’s generic data include hold table information. Contact
Fuel Distribution Table Enables fuel distribution to be displayed in the flight plan output. This
(FD) parameter is dependent on special table loads in the aircraft’s generic data.
To display a fuel distribution report within a flight plan, the user can add the
option FDIST to the JetPlan option line.
NOTE The format keyword FDIST must be properly set by your account
manager.
Fuel distribution reports can also be retrieved by flight plan number or by
aircraft database name. Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more
information.

35
Cost Index Method The Cost Index Method parameter enables you to select the method that JetPlan
(LC or LC=) uses to determine the economy airspeed for a given cost index value. To use this
parameter correctly, enter a cost index value in the flight plan request or ensure
that the system automatically determines one for you. For more information,
see the “Cost Index Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
NOTE To use the cost index methods associated with the First Principles
Aircraft Model (FPM), an FPM aircraft file must be available. To use the OUTFLT
method, OUTFLT aircraft files must be available. You can check the generic
aircraft record for the presence of this information. See “Searching Generic
Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT Information” on page 15.
NOTE You can apply cutoff weight tables to selected cost index methods. For
more information, see “CADB Parameters: “Cutoff Weight Tables” Section” on
page 44.
Choosing a cost index method

The presence of an aircraft FPM file and FMS speed data determines whether a
method is available for use. The cost index methods associated with FMS
Matching are preferred. If possible, select either the (N) Default CI Method or
one of the three FMS Matching options instead of any other option. The
following list of input options ranks the cost index method options in order of
preference.
Input options:
• (N) Default CI Method – When the (N) Default CI method is selected, the
following occurs:
– The application attempts to use the (P) FMS Matching (FPM) CI
method based on the availability of an FPM file (Airbus, Boeing, and
McDonnell Douglass aircraft) and FMS optimal speed data.
– If an FPM file is not available, the application uses the (F) FMS
Matching method.
– If FMS optimal speed data are not available, the application uses
the (G) Golden Section Search (FPM) method with optimal FPM
speeds.
– The altitude is automatically applied for any of the above methods
based on the settings in the CUTOFF tables in the CADB. See “CADB
Parameters: “Cutoff Weight Tables” Section” on page 44.
• (P) FMS Matching (FPM) – If it is available, select (P) FMS Matching
(FPM). When this option is selected, the application computes the optimal
speed (Mach number) based on formulas used in a real FMS. However,
rather than using the traditional interpolation tables method, the fuel flow
is calculated based on the FPM method, which reduces the compute time
for the cost index flight plans.

36
Cost Index Method When (P) FMS Matching (FPM) is selected, the application checks limits
(continued) set by the maximal cruise thrust and 1.3 G buffet limits in the FPM file and
by the Rate of Climb with Max Climb Thrust or Rate of Climb with Max
Cruise Thrust parameter in the Aircraft Fleet Database. For more
information, see the “Aircraft Fleet Database” chapter in the JetPlan User
Manual or the Help file on JetPlan.com
• (F) FMS Matching – If (P) FMS Matching (FPM) is not available, select
(F) FMS Matching. When this option is selected, the application uses the
same algorithm as in the FMS, which ensures that speeds and fuel flows on
the flight plan match the speed that the FMS selects and the corresponding
fuel flow.
NOTE The Lowest Cost Index Mach (LM) and Highest Cost Index Mach (HM)
parameters in the “Modes” section are supported for use with the (F) FMS
Matching method.
• (O) FMS Matching (OUTFLT) – When this option is selected, the
application computes the optimal speed (Mach number) and the fuel flow
based on formulas used in a real FMS, which provides highly accurate fuel
flow and speeds and minimizes the computation time in cost index flight
plans.
When FMS Matching (OUTFLT) is selected, the application checks the
limits set by the maximal cruise thrust and 1.3 G buffet limits in the FPM
file and by the Rate of Climb with Max Climb Thrust or Rate of Climb
with Max Cruise Thrust parameter in the Aircraft Fleet Database. In
addition, the application uses the values of the MMO Margin and the
VMO Margin, also in the Aircraft Fleet Database. If MMO Margin or
VMO Margin is set to zero (0) or is not defined, the application uses a
default value of five (5) calibrated airspeed (CAS) in knots. For more
information, see the “Aircraft Fleet Database” chapter in the JetPlan User
Manual or the Help file on JetPlan.com.
• (G) Golden Section Search (FPM) – When this option is selected, the
application computes the optimal speed with the fuel-flow calculation
based on FPM. The application checks limits set by the Rate of Climb with
Max Cruise Thrust or Rate of Climb with Max Climb Thrust parameter in
the Aircraft Fleet Database. For more information, see the “Aircraft Fleet
Database” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual or the Help file on
JetPlan.com.
• (L) Traditional method —When this option is selected, the application
builds a numerical model of cost as a function of Mach number for each
flight segment.
NOTE The Lowest Cost Index Mach (LM) and Highest Cost Index Mach (HM)
parameters in the “Modes” section are supported for use with the (L) Traditional
method.
• (Y) Simulated CI (Constant Mach) —When this option is selected, the
application selects a single constant-Mach cruise speed for the entire
flight. This speed minimizes the combination of fuel and time equivalent
to the Cost Index number requested (or determined by the application).
The profile is also optimized to minimize the combination of fuel and time.

37
Noise Category Enables you to display the aircraft’s noise category in the flight plan output. The
(NZ) input value is an alphanumeric entry of up to 5 characters.
NOTE This capability depends on specific output format designs. Contact your
Jeppesen account manager for more information.
Index Enables you to display the aircraft’s center of gravity (CG) index in the flight
(IX) plan output. The input value is a numeric entry of up to 3 characters.
NOTE This capability is dependent on specific output format designs. Contact
Weight Unit Enables you to override the lbs/kgs setting tied to your ID/Attribute file. If your
(WU) attribute file is set to display all weights in kilograms, setting the WU parameter
to pounds changes all weights associated with the aircraft and any flight plan
output to pounds. The input value is Pounds, Kilograms, or Default.
NOTE You can set the WU parameter value when you create an aircraft record.
Once saved in the aircraft record, the WU parameter value can be changed only
by Jeppesen. Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more information.
Climb and Descent Method Parameters

The Climb and Descent Method parameters enable you to select a method to compute climb and descent with
cost index or with a user-specified climb and descent profile (speed schedule). Currently, two methods exist for
computing climb and descent in JetPlan:
• Using First Principles Aircraft Model (FPM) – Based on FPM, this method involves building FPM climb
and descent data into the FPM file for each model and engine configuration for use with any climb and
descent profile with cost index support. FPM is currently available for Airbus and Boeing aircraft. You can
check the generic aircraft record for the presence of FPM climb/descent data. See “Searching Generic
Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT Information” on page 15.
• Using the default climb or descent speed schedules from the generic aircraft file – If the Climb Method or
Descent Method parameter is left blank (no value is selected), JetPlan uses the default climb or descent
schedule from the generic aircraft file. For information on viewing the generic aircraft file, see the
“Aircraft Type Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual. If you are using JetPlan.com, see
“Viewing a JetPlan Generic Aircraft Record” on page 14.

38
Climb Method The Climb Method parameter enables you to define the climb performance
(CM) method.
NOTE Display of this information on the flight plan is format-dependent. For
information, contact your Jeppesen account manager.
NOTE To use the FPM methods, an FPM aircraft file must be available. You
can check the generic aircraft record for the presence of this information. See
“Searching Generic Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT Information” on
page 15.
NOTE If no option is selected for Climb Method, the application uses the default
climb speed schedule from the generic aircraft file. For information on viewing the
generic aircraft file, see the “Aircraft Type Commands” chapter in the JetPlan
User Manual. If you are using JetPlan.com, see “Viewing a JetPlan Generic
Aircraft Record” on page 14.
Input options
• (F) Cost Index: FMS Matching (FPM) – The application uses the FPM
cost index method to calculate the optimal climb CAS for an aircraft with a
FMC. The application computes climb using the FPM method with the
optimal climb CAS.
NOTE To use the (F) Cost Index: FMS Matching (FPM) method, both FPM
climb/descent data and climb/descent cost index FMC data must be available for
the aircraft. You can check the generic aircraft record for the presence of this
data. See “Searching Generic Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT
Information” on page 15.
• (G) Mach CAS Schedule (FPM) – The application uses the FPM climb
method with speed schedule parameters. The application uses the climb
profile parameters (if set) of the RALT, RIASC, MACHC and CASC
parameters in the Customer Airport Fleet database (CAPFDB).
If RALT and RIASC equal 0 (are not set) in the CAPFDB, the application
defaults to 100 (10000FT) for RALT and 250 knots for RIASC for Boeing
and Airbus aircraft.
If the MACHC and the CASC parameters are not set in the CAPFDB, the
application uses the climb CAS and the climb MACH speed in the aircraft
performance database record. For example, the default AAA descent mode
in the format MACH/CAS is 0.78/300. This information can be found in
the generic aircraft record. See Chapter 10, “Aircraft Type Commands” in
the JetPlan User Manual. The application computes climb using the FPM
method with climb profile.
• (N) Traditional Raw Sample JetPlan (FPM) – This option is no longer in
use.

39
Descent Method The Descent Method parameter enables you to define the descent performance
(DM) method.
NOTE Display of this information on the flight plan is format-dependent. For
NOTE To use the FPM methods, an FPM aircraft file must be available. You
can check the generic aircraft record for the presence of this information. See
“Searching Generic Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT Information” on
page 15.
NOTE If no option is selected for Descent Method, the application uses the
default climb speed schedule from the generic aircraft file. For information on
viewing the generic aircraft file, see the “Aircraft Type Commands” chapter in the
JetPlan User Manual. If you are using JetPlan.com, see “Viewing a JetPlan
Generic Aircraft Record” on page 14.
Input options:
• (F) Cost Index: FMS Matching (FPM) – The application uses the FPM
cost index method to calculate the optimal descent CAS for an aircraft
with an FMC. The application computes descent using the FPM method
with the optimal descent CAS.
NOTE To use the (F) Cost Index: FMS Matching (FPM) option, both FPM
climb/descent data and climb/descent cost index FMC data must be available for
the aircraft. You can check the generic aircraft record for the presence of this
data. See “Searching Generic Aircraft Records for FPM and OUTFLT
Information” on page 15.
• (G) Mach CAS Schedule (FPM) – The application uses the FPM descent
method with speed schedule parameters. The application uses the descent
profile parameters (if set) of the RALT, RIASD, MACHD and CASD
parameters in the Customer Airport Fleet database (CAPFDB).
If RALT and RIASD equal 0 (are not set) in the CAPFDB, the application
defaults to 100 (10000FT) for RALT and 250 knots for RIASD for Boeing
and Airbus aircraft.
If the MACHD and the CASD parameters are not set in the CAPFDB, the
application uses the descent CAS speed and the descent MACH speed in
the aircraft performance database record. For example, the default AAA
descent mode in the format MACH/CAS is 0.78/300. This information can
be found in the generic aircraft record. See Chapter 10, “Aircraft Type
Commands” in the JetPlan User Manual. The application computes
descent using the FPM method with descent profile.
• (N) Traditional Raw Sample JetPlan (FPM) – This option is no longer in
use.

40
Climb/Descent Cost Index Enables you to define the climb/descent cost index.
(CL) NOTE Display of this information on the flight plan is format-dependent. For
This parameter can be set to perform climb/descent cost index calculations
using the (F) Cost Index: FMS Matching (FPM) method. If the (F) Cost Index:
FMS Matching (FPM) method is set, and the Climb/Descent Cost Index
parameter is not set, the application reuses the cruise cost index value.
ILS Category NOTE Use of this parameter is limited to specific customers.

(PP) NOTE The ILS Category parameter is different from the CAT III Approved
parameter in the “Certified” section of the CADB.
This parameter enables you to specify the Instrument Landing System (ILS)
approach category capability for the aircraft.
Input options:
• 1 – Approach category I
• 2 – Approach category II
• 3 – Approach category III
Apply French Contingency NOTE This parameter’s impact is limited to modifying contingency fuel
Factor calculations being done under the auspices of European fuel policy regulations.
For information on using this parameter, contact your Jeppesen account
manager.
When set to Yes, this parameter instructs JetPlan to calculate the flight plan in
accordance with French fuel policy rules—specifically, applying a French K-
Factor method to allow for a small reduction in the contingency fuel calculation
relative to the standard 3% or 5% methods normally used by European
operations. The small reduction allowed is for the fuel amount needed to carry
the contingency fuel to the destination. “K factor” is defined as the quotient of
the takeoff weight divided by the landing weight. The allowable reduction is to
divide the normal 3% or 5% contingency fuel by the K factor, which reduces
the contingency fuel number by an appropriate amount.
When set to No (the default), JetPlan applies the standard 3% or 5%
contingency fuel calculations for AIR OPS flight plans.
Input options: Yes/No

41
CADB Parameters: “Modes” Section

The “Modes” section contains speed setting parameters. They allow you to set default values
for the various profiles of a flight.
Table 5 CADB Record: “Modes” Section
Default Climb Enables you to set a secondary climb schedule as the default climb mode. If no
(CB) value is entered, JetPlan uses the default climb schedule from the originating
(generic) version of the aircraft. The input value is a valid JetPlan speed
schedule for climb. Example: 340
NOTE Ad hoc climb schedule inputs in the flight plan request overrides this
parameter. For more information, see the “Cruise Mode Commands” chapter in
the JetPlan User Manual.
Default Cruise NOTE An ad hoc cruise mode input in the flight plan request overrides this
(CR)
The Default Cruise parameter enables you to set a cruise mode that JetPlan uses
automatically for flight planning. If the Default Cruise parameter is not set, you
must specify a cruise mode in the flight plan request.
NOTE The input value is a valid JetPlan speed schedule for cruise. Example:
M82.
Default Descent Enables you to set a secondary descent schedule as the default descent mode. If
(DE) no value is entered, JetPlan uses the default descent schedule from the
originating (generic) version of the aircraft. The input value is a valid JetPlan
speed schedule for descent. Example: 280
NOTE Ad hoc descent schedule inputs in the flight plan request overrides this
Default Cost Index This parameter is the default cost index used in the Required Arrival Time –
(CI3) Cost Index (RATCI) calculation. The input value is a valid cost index number.
Example: 100
NOTE For more information, see the “ETD Commands” chapter in the JetPlan
User Manual.
Default Reclear Enables you to set a secondary cruise schedule as the default cruise mode on the
(RC) reclear segment of a Reclear flight plan. The input value is a valid JetPlan speed
schedule for cruise. Example: M88
Fixed Operating Cost NOTE This parameter enables you to specify a fixed operating cost
(dollars/hour) for use with the JetPlan cost index functionality. The fixed
(OC)
operating cost is typically used to capture fixed maintenance costs per flight.
Example: 200.

42
Table 5 CADB Record: “Modes” Section (continued)
Min RAT Cost Index This parameter sets the lower cost index airspeed limit in the Required Arrival
(CI1) Time – Cost Index (RATCI) calculation. The input value is a valid cost index
number. Example: 010.

CADB Parameters: “Cutoff Weight Tables” Section
NOTE To display the “Cutoff Weight Tables” section in the Aircraft Record, select Y
or A for the Print ALT Capability Table (CW) parameter in the “Miscellaneous” section.
See “CADB Parameters: “Miscellaneous” Section” on page 33.
Cutoff weight tables (altitude capability tables) provide a way to limit altitude based on the
perceived weight of the aircraft. The perceived weight corresponds to a physical barrier, such
as maximum cruise thrust or buffet limits. It is the boundary of the flight envelope for a
specific condition.
Almost every aircraft in the JetPlan Aircraft Library has cutoff criteria loaded in the generic
data records. One cutoff weight criterion is always set as the default (standard) cutoff weight.
Having several active criteria helps ensure against flight outside of the designed capabilities
for the aircraft in any given situation.
You can apply cutoff weight tables to a selected cost index methods. You can use the Cost
Index Method parameter in the “Misc” section of the CADB to specify the cost index method.
The application of the cutoff weight tables to specific cost index methods depends on the
setting of the Print Altitude Table parameter in the “Misc” section of the CADB as follows:
• To activate the cutoff tables for use with non-FPM and non-OUTFLT cost
index methods, set the Print ALT Capability Table parameter to Yes.

44
• To activate the cutoff tables for use with the FPM and OUTFLT cost index
methods, set the Print ALT Capability Table parameter to FPM/OUTFLT
Available (A).
Table 6 CADB Record: “Cutoff Weight Tables” Section
NOTE When you set the Print ALT Capability Table (CW) parameter to Yes or to FPM/OUTFLT Available (A), the
application displays the “Cutoff Weight Table” (altitude capability) section of the CADB record in JetPlan.com.
Otherwise, the “Cutoff Weight Table” section is hidden. The Print ALT Capability Table (CW) parameter is in the
“Misc” section of the CADB.
Cutoff Wt Tables (1-9) This parameter enables you to apply flight-level limitations to the aircraft based
(CW) on specific flight conditions, such as altitude, temperature, and Mach number.
Depending on the aircraft, you can apply up to nine table settings.
In JetPlan.com, click Y to activate a table. To deactivate a table, click N. Then
click Submit New Cutoff Table Values.
The application of the cutoff weight tables to specific cost index methods
depends on the setting of the Print ALT Capability Table parameter in the
“Misc” section of the CADB. See the Cost Index Method and the Print Altitude
Capability Table parameters in “CADB Parameters: “Miscellaneous” Section”
on page 33.
Input values:
• Y – Activates the cutoff weight table
• N – Deactivates the cutoff weight table
NOTE For FPM and OUTFLT cost index methods, you can activate any
combination of other cutoff criteria.

45
CADB Parameters: “Bracket Modes” Section
NOTE At present, modifying the Bracket Modes section of the CADB is supported
only in JetPlan, not JetPlan.com. For information, see the “Customer Aircraft
Database” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
A “bracket mode” refers to the “bracketed” range of airspeeds applied to the cruise portion of
a flight plan calculation (between TOC [Top of Climb] and TOD [Top of Descent]). When a
specific cruise range is entered in the flight plan request, one which matches the data found in
an activated bracket mode table, JetPlan applies the climb and descent airspeed schedules
defined in that table to the flight plan calculation for those portions of the flight.
Foregoing the use of bracket modes restricts JetPlan to using one of the following: 1) default
climb and descent schedules defined in the aircraft’s generic data; 2) the climb and descent
schedules defined as default in the CADB (the CB and DE parameters); or 3) the climb and
descent schedules defined in the flight plan request on the Cruise Mode command line (ad hoc
inputs).
Bracket Modes are applied automatically when data exists and is activated in the “Bracket
Modes” section of the CADB record.
Table 7 CADB Record: “Bracket Modes” Section
NOTE You can display this section in the Aircraft Record in JetPlan.com by selecting Print Brackets in the “Misc”
section (see above). Modifying this section is currently supported only in JetPlan, not JetPlan.com.
Bracket Mode Tables In JetPlan, this parameter enables you to apply specific climb and descent
(BK 1-6) schedules based on a range (the bracket) of cruise speeds applied in the flight
plan calculation. There can be up to six table settings per aircraft. See the
“Customer Aircraft Database” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual for
information.
NOTE This only works with cost index cruise modes.

46
CADB Parameters: “Mode Coupling” Section

The Mode Coupling parameter is similar to the Bracket Modes parameter in that particular
airspeeds for certain phases of flight are linked to cruise mode information. However, this
parameter enables you to couple more phases of flight and to do it based on an individual
cruise mode, not a cruise mode range.
With the Mode Coupling parameter you can couple the climb, descent, alternate, takeoff
alternate and hold phases of flight to a particular cruise mode. This feature can be applied
to each cruise mode available, up to 20 in total.
Table 8 CADB Record: “Mode Coupling” Section
NOTE To see the “Bracket Modes” and the “Mode Coupling” sections in JetPlan.com, you must set the Print
Bracket Modes parameter in the Miscellaneous section to Yes. Jeppesen has to load specific data in the generic
version of an aircraft to make Mode Coupling a viable option. If your aircraft has this data, you can see the “Mode
Coupling” section immediately after the “Bracket Modes” section in the Aircraft Record. To have the necessary
data for Mode Coupling loaded in the generic version of your aircraft, contact your Jeppesen account manager.
Mode Coupling Enables you to link, or “couple,” specific airspeeds for climb, descent,
CP alternate, takeoff alternate, and holding to a particular cruise mode. You
can apply couplings to as many as 20 cruise modes per aircraft.
To enter Mode Coupling information in JetPlan.com, first select a cruise
mode from the Cruise drop-down list. Then select airspeeds for any of the
other phases you want to couple to the cruise mode. If you omit a phase
input, JetPlan relies on the default setting in the aircraft’s generic data
record.

47
CADB Parameters: “Tanker” Section

The “Tanker” section contains parameters related to the Single-Leg Tankering feature.
Table 9 CADB Record: “Tanker” Section
NOTE All of the parameters in the “Tanker” Section apply to JetPlan’s Single-Leg Tankering feature. See the
“Payload, POD/POA, Weight, and Fuel Commands” in the JetPlan User Manual.
Tanker Fuel Index Applies to the Fuel Index method of the Single-Leg Tankering feature (TANK1
(TI) or TANK1X options). The TI parameter is a required element of this feature. It
is a ratio that defines the relative price of fuel between two airports. The ratio
expresses a point at which tankering is warranted—the cost of fuel is so much
greater at the arrival airport compared to the departure airport that tankering
fuel is cost effective to your operation.
The input value given to the TI parameter must be determined by the customer.
Example: 10.5
Tanker Currency Enables you to define the type of monetary output data you to work with in a
(TC) single-leg tankering plan calculation. The input value must be an ISO currency
code. Example: JPY
Tanker Threshold Applies to the Fuel Cost method of the Single-Leg Tankering feature (TANK2
(TT) or TANK2X options). The TT parameter is an optional element of this feature.
It defines a minimum monetary savings value at which tankering is warranted.
The TT value needs to correspond with the TC value in this database. For
example, if TT=30000 and TC=JPY, you have expressed a tanker threshold of
¥30,000.00.
Tanker Landing Weight Enables you to set a limit to the landing weight when tankering is involved.
(TL) Since the aircraft already has a Max Landing Weight value (LA parameter), the
Tanker Landing Weight parameter is only used if you want to express a
different value in the tankering situation.
The input value can be expressed in pounds or kilograms, depending on your
preferred unit of measure. Example: 620000
Tanker Fuel Maximum Enables you to set a limit to the amount of fuel tankered in the single-leg
(TM) tankering plan calculation. The input value can be expressed in pounds or
kilograms, depending on your preferred unit of measure. Example: TM=15000
Tanker Fuel Capacity This field is used by certain external graphical user interfaces to JetPlan. There
(TK) is currently no other associated functionality with this parameter. Value range:
0-FC.

48
CADB Parameters: “Equipment” Section

The “Equipment” section of the CADB contains parameters that designate the types and
quantities of hardware onboard the aircraft. Some of the parameters are used for Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) prediction reports.
Overview of RAIM Prediction Report Parameters

The “Equipment” section of the CADB record stores parameters that support requests for
RAIM prediction reports. Using a front-end GUI application that interfaces with JetPlan, such
as JetPlanner or Jeppesen Dispatch Control, you can plan your route of flight and submit a
RAIM prediction request. The system then uses sophisticated algorithms to generate a
prediction for the entire route, including the departure and arrival airports. Baro-aided outages
are reflected as True or False within the RAIM report, to allow easy analysis of Baro-aided
algorithm usage. You can also request RAIM prediction for reports for individual airports.
NOTE RAIM prediction reports are an additional fee service, and can be set up for
RAIM only, or for RAIM and RNP permissions. Contact your Jeppesen account
manager for fees, terms, and conditions.
You can request RAIM prediction reports for:
• Airports associated with a flight plan

• A set of airports not related to a flight plan
• The route in a flight plan
The following parameters in the CADB can be configured to support RAIM prediction
reports:
• GPS
• RAIM GPS Algorithm
• RAIM Mask Angle
• Departure Required Navigation Performance
• Enroute Required Navigation Performance
• Arrival Required Navigation Performance
For detailed information on how the CADB RAIM parameters are used in RAIM prediction
report requests as well as how to submit the requests, see the user documentation for the
applicable front-end flight planning product or contact your Jeppesen account manager.

Overview of ADS-B SAPT Report Parameters

JetPlan.com enables you to perform the following actions:
• Configure the Customer Aircraft Database (CADB) to support Automatic

Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment and ADS-B
Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT) reports.
• Use the ADS-B SAPT Report option on the Dispatch tab to request ADS-
B SAPT reports for calculated flight plans. The ADS-B SAPT Report
option generates the prediction report using the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) SAPT application programming interface (API)
service.
The ADS-B SAPT Report functionality helps operators comply with Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR), sections 91.225 and 91.227. This CFR, which is effective on
January 1, 2020, requires aircraft operating in airspace described in section 91.225 to have
ADS-B Out equipment installed. The ADS-B system must meet the performance requirements
described in 14 CFR 91.225 and 91.227. This CFR is referred to as the ADS-B Final Rule. You
can use new options for parameters in the CADB to define your ADS-B system.
ADS-B SAPT reports enable operators to comply with the FAA flight planning guidance that
requires operators to perform ADS-B service availability predictions within 24 hours of
departure and in enough time to replan the flight if a route segment is predicted to have
insufficient GPS service availability. Operators are required to save prediction documentation
for three months.
NOTE JetPlan does not keep a log of the request for either an SAPT report or the
response from the FAA. Customers must retain this data to comply with the FAA flight
planning guidance.
IMPORTANT This document assumes familiarity with the requirements of Title 14 of

the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), sections 91.225 and 91.227 and with the
related FAA flight planning guidance.

About ADS-B SAPT reports

ADS-B SAPT reports contain the following information:
• Basic waypoint information:

– Point name, lat/long, and time over the point
• Waypoint disposition:
– Sufficient − The waypoint has sufficient coverage to meet the ADS-
B Final Rule.
– Insufficient − The waypoint lacks sufficient coverage to meet the
ADS-B Final Rule.
– Alternate Surveillance − The waypoint lacks sufficient coverage to
meet the ADS-B Final Rule but is predicted to have coverage from
an alternate surveillance source. In this case, the flight is subject to
SAPT Policy with Exemption 12555 if the exemption is in effect
and if the airline or pilot permits its use.
– Unregulated − The waypoint is outside of rule airspace (USA or
unknown to the FAA waypoint database). No prediction was
performed.
– Expired −The waypoint’s Estimated Time Over (ETO) is in the
past. No prediction was performed.
• Points that are not in the request but that appear in the response. If a distance
greater than 60 NM separates points on a submitted route, the FAA SAPT
service inserts points. The name of the added point is “Direct@,” “<Route
Name>@,” or “<Radial>@” (depending on the type of the previous point),
followed by the distance from the previous point.
• Navigation Integrity Category (NIC) – Computed NIC for the point.
• Navigation Accuracy Category for Position (NACp) – Computed NACp for
the point.
• Potential Interference – True if the point is predicted to be subject to
potential interference. Unspecified if outside USA airspace.
• Summary information about the requested transaction and the equipment
parameters used for the SAPT request.

Overwater Equipped* When set to Yes, identifies the aircraft as certified for overwater flights.
(OW) The OW parameter is used in conjunction with the Customer Route Constraint
Database (CRCDB) to define routes that require aircraft to have certain
characteristics—for example, to be overwater approved. If the selected
customer aircraft does not possess all of the characteristics to fly a route as
defined in the CRCDB, route constraint is automatically applied. See the
“Route Constraint Database” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
NOTE The OW parameter is different from the Overwater Capability parameter
(OA), which is used by JetPlan only when the Overwater Avoid (FP, OWATAA) or
Overwater Alert (FP, OWATAN) flight plan option has been invoked. See
“Overwater Capability” below.
NOTE Both the Overwater Equipped (OW) and the Overwater Capability (OA)

CADB Parameters: “ETP” Section

The “ETP” section is a sub-database that contains parameters for the application of equal-
time-point diversions. This information is applicable to basic ETP, ETOPS, and Overwater
Driftdown calculations.
NOTE The aircraft selected as well as customer preference settings determine

which ETP parameters are available for use.
Table 14 CADB Record: “ETP” Section
Non-emergency ETP True Scenario: All-engine, pressurized
Airspeed (Optional). Used in conjunction with the NF parameter, the NA parameter
(NA) enables you to define a true airspeed constant for an all-engine, pressurized
(high-level) ETP calculation.
The input value is a 3-digit true air speed entry, in knots.
NOTE This parameter overrides the EA parameter. Set a parameter value only
if you do not want ETP calculations performed in a depressurized, low-level
scenario.
NOTE For overwater driftdown flight plans (DRFT or DRFTX options), an
aircraft with the NA and NF parameters set produces ETP data in the ETP
summary (usually at the top of the flight plan) based on these non-emergency
settings. However, the ETP data in the Driftdown summary (usually at the end of
the flight plan) is based on other settings, specifically, the parameters for all-
engine, one engine-out, and two engine-out calculations (the EA, EA1 or EA2
parameters).
Non-emergency ETP Flight Scenario: All-engine, pressurized

Level (Optional). Used in conjunction with the NA parameter, the NF parameter
(NF) provides a flight level constant for a pressurized, high-level ETP calculation.
The input value is a 3-digit altitude entry, in hundreds of feet. Example: 350
NOTE A millibar entry is unavailable with this scenario.

65
Table 14 CADB Record: “ETP” Section (continued)
ETP All Engine Scenario: All-engine, depressurized
Depressurized Cruise Mode The EC parameter enables you to set the cruising speed of the aircraft for the
(EC) divert portion of an all-engine, low-level ETOPS or Driftdown flight plan based
on cruise table data. If the EC parameter is not set, the system defaults to using
the LRC cruise mode. If EC is set, it must be equal to LRC or a Mach number
between the primary Mach number cruise modes that exist for the aircraft.
Set this parameter only if LRC is not preferred. The input value is a 3-character
cruise mode or true airspeed entry.
NOTE If EC is set with a Mach number outside the range of those listed for the
aircraft type, an error occurs.
NOTE The aircraft’s generic record must include cruise table data for ETOPS
and Driftdown. Additional table data can be loaded in the generic record upon
request.
See the “Cruise Mode Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual for
more information on cruise modes.
ETP Cruise Mode (Anti-Ice Scenario: All-engine, depressurized

On) See EC parameter. The ECA parameter setting considers the application of anti-
(ECA) ice procedures.
request.
NOTE Use of this parameter is limited to specific customers.
ETP Cruise Mode (Anti-Ice Scenario: All-engine, depressurized

Off) See EC parameter.
(ECN) NOTE The aircraft’s generic record must include cruise table data for ETOPS
request.
ETP True Airspeed Scenario: All-engine, depressurized

(EA) The EA parameter enables you to set a true airspeed constant for the ETP
calculation for the divert portion of an all-engine, low-level ETP flight plan.
Since ETP calculations are performed for ETOPS and Driftdown flight plans,
the EA parameter is also the standard by which those calculations occur.
The input value is a 3-digit true airspeed entry, in knots.
NOTE The NA parameter overrides this parameter when set. This is for basic
ETP position, but not for overwater driftdown and ETOPS.
Entry/Exit True Airspeed This is a true airspeed constant parameter used to determine ETOPS entry and
(NX) exit points. Example: 450.

66
ETP Depressurized Flight Scenario: All-engine, depressurized
Level (All Eng, 1LE) The EM or EF parameter enables you to set a flight level for the divert portion
x 100 Feet (EF) of an all-engine, low-level ETP, ETOPS or Driftdown flight plan. These
or parameters act as both the cruise flight level and the wind data extraction level
for the ETP calculation.
Millibars
You have the choice of how the parameter value is entered.
(EM)
If you want to enter an altitude as you would a flight level, select the EF
parameter. The input value is a 3-digit entry, in hundreds of feet (for example,
140 = 14,000 ft). The use of the EF parameter allows for any flight level the
aircraft can fly. Example: EF=140
If you want to enter an altitude in millibars, select the EM parameter. The input
value must be one of the following millibar levels: 200, 250, 300, 400, 500,
550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850.Example: EM=700
The EF and EM parameters are mutually exclusive.
ETP Available Oxygen Time Scenario: All-engine, depressurized

(OX) The ETP Available Oxygen Time parameter is used for Driftdown flight plans
(DRFT or DRFTX options). This parameter enables you to indicate the time in
minutes that oxygen is available for use after depressurization occurs. While
oxygen is available, the aircraft can cruise at a higher altitude (and therefore
burn less fuel) until the oxygen runs out, at which point, a descent to 10,000 feet
can occur.
Use this parameter in conjunction with the ETP Decompressed Cruise Altitude
parameter (OF or OL), which enables you to indicate the flight level at which to
fly while depressurized and using oxygen (see below). For example, the
following settings indicate that the aircraft has 60 minutes of available oxygen
and can cruise depressurized at 25,000 feet: OX=60, OF=250.
Setting the OX parameter to 0 (the default) disables this feature and renders the
OF/OL parameter inert.
Input value: Time in minutes; default is zero.
NOTE Output of this information on a flight plan is format-dependent.

67
ETP Decompressed Cruise Scenario: All-engine, depressurized
Altitude The ETP Decompressed Cruise Altitude parameter is used for Driftdown flight
x100 Feet (OF) plans (DRFT or DRFTX options). It enables you to indicate the flight level at
or which the aircraft can cruise while depressurized and using oxygen.
Millibars Set this value only when ETP Available Oxygen Time (OX) is set to a positive
value (see above). The OX parameter indicates the number of minutes that
(OL)
oxygen is available for use after depressurization occurs. When the OX
parameter is set to 0 (the default), the OF/OL parameter value is inert.
The input value for OF is a 3-digit entry, in hundreds of feet (for example, 140 =
14,000 ft).
OL is the flight level in millibars. The input value must be one of the following
millibar levels: 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850.
The OF and OL parameters are mutually exclusive.
NOTE Output of this information on a flight plan is format-dependent.
ETP Hold Time Scenario: All-engine, depressurized

(EH) Provides a reserve fuel that is used in the ETP worst case (critical) fuel
or calculation for the all-engine, low-level scenario.
ETP Reserve Fuel The EH parameter enables you to set a hold time for the purpose of providing a
reserve fuel. The input value is a 1 to
(EX)
3-digit time entry, in minutes. Example: EH=15
The EX parameter enables you to set a specific amount of reserve fuel. The
input value is a 1 to 6-digit fuel entry, in pounds or kilograms. Example:
EX=2500
NOTE The EH and EX parameters are mutually exclusive. You can use one or
the other but not both.
ETP 1LE Scenario: One engine-out, pressurized/depressurized

Pressurized/Depressurized The EC1 parameter is similar to the EC parameter except that it applies to the
Cruise Mode one-engine-out calculation. For ETOPS, this is a depressurized scenario. For
(EC1) Driftdown, it is the highest one-engine-out altitude attainable.
If EC1 is not set, the system defaults to using the 1LE cruise mode. If EC1 is
set, it must be equal to one of the auxiliary cruise modes that exist for the
aircraft.
Set this parameter only if 1LE is not preferred. The input value is a 3-character
entry specifying an auxiliary cruise mode. Examples: 330 or M76.
NOTE If EC1 is set to a value other than one of the auxiliary cruise modes listed
for the aircraft type, an error occurs.
and Driftdown. Long Range Cruise (LRC) data for one engine-out (1LE) and two
engine-out (2LE) scenarios is loaded in the generic record as appropriate for the

CADB Parameters: “ETOPS” Section

The ETOPS section within the CADB enables you to control and modify the relevant
performance criteria used in the ETOPS flight plan calculation.
NOTE The database must be activated before any of your parameter values
become applicable in a flight plan. To activate the ETOPS Database, set the EP
parameter in the “Miscellaneous” section of the CADB to (Y)es.
If the ETOPS Database is not activated, the analysis calculations become limited to generic
performance factors or whatever methodology is tied to your User ID or format. If your
aircraft has no generic ETOPS information, then you receive no ETOPS analysis, whether the
option is turned on or not. Once the ETOPS Database is populated (and activated), your inputs
override any stored data found in your aircraft’s generic data file.
The parameters in the ETOPS section include flags and factors. Simply put, the flag turns a
feature on or off, and the factor says what to do when it is turned on. The value given to a flag
or factor is coded information. A factor is the formula used in an ETOPS calculation. A flag
activates a particular factor and specifies the situation in which it is applied. Although some

71
factors are fixed values that do not need the activation of a flag, most have a corresponding
flag. For example, if the anti-ice flag is activated, the corresponding anti-ice factor is
calculated—for example, .05 x (cruise fuel + descent fuel + hold fuel).
The following tables list the CADB ETOPS parameters and the flags and factors that affect
them.
NOTE See the ETOPS User’s Guide for more information on these parameters.
Click the User Manuals link on the JetPlan.com home page to access the ETOPS
User’s Guide and other manuals.
For information on ETOPS II, contact your Jeppesen account manager.
Table 15 CADB Record: “ETOPS” Section
Use ETOPS When set to Yes, JetPlan calculates ETOPS performance data based on the
(ED) parameter settings in the “ETOPS” section of the CADB. Otherwise,
calculations are based on the generic aircraft information or hard-coded ETOPS
methodology tied to a specific format. The default input value is No.
Cruise Mode Begin Flag NOTE In ETOPS II plans only, this parameter has been replaced by the
Scenario Options parameters in the Flight Brief Database. See the “Flight Brief

topic on JetPlan.com.
Must be used in combination with the CE flag. Together, CS and CE allow you
to specify which of the ETOPS critical fuel scenarios the system computes: All-
Engine Depressurized or Engine-out Depressurized or both. The CE and CS
parameters must be set to either 1 or 2, or an error occurs.
Set the CS and CE parameters in the following manner to include the specific
cruise modes in the ETOPS calculation:
• CS=1 and CE=2 – Applies All-Engine Depressurized and Engine-out
Depressurized
• CS=1 and CE=1 – Applies All-Engine Depressurized only
• CS=2 and CE=2 – Applies Engine-out Depressurized only
Cruise Mode End Flag NOTE In ETOPS II plans only, this parameter has been replaced by the
Scenario Options parameters in the Flight Brief Database. See the “Flight Brief
(CE)
Database” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual or the “Flight Brief Database” Help
topic on JetPlan.com.
Must be used in combination with the Cruise Mode Begin (CS) flag. Together,
CS and CE allow you to specify which of the ETOPS critical fuel scenarios the
system computes: All-Engine Depressurized or Engine-out Depressurized or
both. The CE and CS parameters must be set to either 1 or 2, or an error occurs.
See the Cruise Mode Begin Flag (CS) above for examples of how to set the CS
and CE parameters.

(FS) Enables you to specify the amount of cargo fire suppression time that is used by
JetPlan to compute the Time-Limited System compliance times for ETOPS
flights greater than 180 minutes.
Other Most Time-Limiting NOTE This parameter is used only with ETOPS II flight plan options. Contact
System Limit your Jeppesen account manager for more information.
(OS) Enables you to specify the amount of fire suppression time other than cargo fire
suppression that is used by JetPlan to compute the Time-Limited System
compliance times for ETOPS flights greater than 180 minutes.
Divert Time Flag Defines the flight segments from which diversion time is determined. The flag
(DV) input value depends on how you want to calculate divert time. Enter the
predefined flag code followed by the situational code(s). Example: 1CDH
Performance Bias Flag Enables you to apply a performance bias when Hold and Missed Approach
(PF) fuels are calculated. The input value is 1 (on) or 2 (off). Example: 1
In JetPlan.com, the input value is On or Off.
ETOPS Flag and Factor Codes

The following tables list the flag and factor codes you use with the ETOPS parameters. Flag
codes can be entered in various combinations, depending on the type of performance factors
you want to affect. The first set of flag codes are the “activation” codes, which basically
instruct JetPlan to turn “on” or “off” the particular ETOPS control parameter. The second set
of flag codes are the “situation” codes, which instruct JetPlan to apply the factor formula when
a particular situation exists (for example—apply the formula during the LRC segment of the
ETOPS calculation, or apply when icing is present). Lastly, there are some special codes that
apply only to particular controls. All of the flag codes are shown in the following tables.

77
ETOPS Activation Flag Codes

The following activation flag codes instruct JetPlan to turn “on” or “off” a particular ETOPS
control parameter.
Table 16 ETOPS Activation Flag Code
Code Definition
0 (off) This code implies no application; this feature is turned “off.” For example, if the Ice Drag
Flag is set to 0, no fuel burn computations are performed for this particular control
parameter, whether you have a formula stored in the Ice Drag Factor parameter or not.
1 (on) This code is used if you want to activate the corresponding factor (formula). For example, if
the Cruise Flag is set to 1, then the corresponding Cruise Factor is calculated and added to
the ETOPS analysis. When a flag is turned “on”, the calculation made depends on the
formula you set in the corresponding factor field.
NOTE The following are special applications of the flag code 1:
- A Hold Flag set to 1 indicates that the Hold Value is a time entry.
- An ISA Flag set to 1 instructs JetPlan to add the ISA deviation burn (factor) for every 10
degrees of temperature increase above Standard ISA temperature.
2 (on) The flag code 2 applies only to certain controls. A Hold Flag set to 2 indicates that the Hold
Value is a weight entry. An ISA Flag set to 2 instructs JetPlan to add the ISA deviation burn
(factor) for every 5 degrees of temperature increase above Standard ISA temperature.

78
ETOPS Situation Flag Codes

The situation codes instruct JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) when a particular situation
exists—for example, the factor is applied when icing is present.
Table 17 ETOPS Situation Flag Codes
Code Definition
C This code instructs JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) to the LRC segment of the ETOPS
analysis.
D NOTE This code is used only with ETOPS II flight plan options. For more information,
contact your Jeppesen account manager.
This code instructs JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) to the engine-out pressurized
(driftdown) segment of the ETOPS analysis.
For example, adding the D code to the Auxiliary Power Unit Flag (AP) parameter indicates
that the APU burn is computed for the engine-out pressurized (driftdown) segment.
Example: AP=1CED
E This code instructs JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) to the 1LE segment of the ETOPS
analysis.
I This code instructs JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) to the ETOPS analysis when icing
is present.
N This code instructs JetPlan to apply the factor (formula) to the ETOPS analysis when icing
is not present.
NOTE If neither I nor N is specified, JetPlan applies both the ice drag and anti-ice
penalties simultaneously.

79
ETOPS Special Flag Codes
The following table lists the ETOPS special flag codes.
Table 18 ETOPS Special Flag Codes
Flag Special Code Explanation

Cruise Flag The Cruise Flag has an “initial descent distance” code, D which enables you to set the
distance, in nautical miles, to the initial descent point (for example, D20 indicates an initial
descent distance of 20 nautical miles).
Divert Flag The following codes apply to the Divert Flag only:
• The code, C, indicates that “cruise time” is included in the diversion time calculation.
• The code, D, indicates that descent time is included in the diversion time calculation.
You can also cut the descent time in half by entering D(/2).
• The code, H, indicates that hold time is included in the diversion time calculation. You
can also set the hold time to a specific number of minutes (for example, H(15) sets the
hold time to 15 minutes). The hold time can also be multiplied (for example, H(*2) sets
the hold time to twice its calculated value).
Example:
ID=1C – Demonstrates the combining of code parameters with an ETOPS Database flag. The
number “1” activates the factor formula, and the letter “C” applies the formula to the LRC
segment of the divert.

80
ETOPS Factor Code Definitions

Factors are the formulas applied to the divert “phase of flight” fuel burn numbers. They are
activated by the corresponding flag. The codes used for each factor vary, so factors that use the
same code nomenclature are grouped together for explanation.
The following factors use the same code nomenclature: Ice Drag LRC Factor, Ice Drag 1LE
Factor, Anti-Ice LRC Factor, Anti-Ice 1LE Factor, Conservatism Factor, Time Conservatism
Factor, and ISA (Deviation) Value. The codes for these factors are shown in the following
table.
Table 19 ETOPS Factor Codes
Code Definition
x Integer multiplier input. This value, when combined with the codes for the fuel burn phases
of flight (for example, cruise, descent, hold, and so on shown below in this table) is
multiplied by the calculated fuel burns to provide a fuel pad total for the flag entered.
For example, if you enter an Ice Drag LRC Factor of 2CDH, the calculated fuels for the
cruise, descent and hold (CDH) phases of the divert are doubled (CDH x 2) to provide the
fuel burn total for the Ice Drag Factor. The multiplier you enter needs to be a rather small
number, because the product fuel burn you produce can be a number so large as to exceed
the capabilities of the aircraft (the error “needs more burnable fuel” results).
Pxxx Percentage multiplier input. This value works in the same manner as the integer multiplier
explained above. However, in this case you are taking a percentage of the calculated fuel
burns.
For example, if you enter an Ice Drag LRC Factor of P1000CDH, the calculated fuels for the
cruise, descent, and hold phases of the divert are multiplied by 10% (CDH x .10) to provide
the fuel burn total for the Ice Drag Factor.
NOTE The percentage you wish to enter is multiplied by 100 to arrive at your input (for
example, 5% is entered as P500).
C Using this code includes the cruise fuel burn from the divert as part of the calculation. As
one of the elements that can be applied to the factor formula, this code is used in conjunction
with the integer or percentage multiplier.
D, D(/2) Using this code includes the descent fuel burn from the divert as part of the calculation. As
with the integer or percentage multiplier. The D(/2) entry halves the descent fuel in the
calculation.
H, H(xxx), Using this code includes the hold fuel burn from the divert as part of the calculation. As one
H(*2) of the elements that can be applied to the factor formula, this code is used in conjunction
with the integer or percentage multiplier. The H(xxx) entry sets the value of the hold fuel to
the number entered—for example, H(100) sets the hold fuel to 100 lbs/kgs. The H(*2) entry
doubles the hold fuel.
M Using this code includes the missed approach (MAP) fuel burn from the divert as part of the
calculation. As one of the elements that can be applied to the factor formula, this code is
used in conjunction with the integer or percentage multiplier.

81
Table 19 ETOPS Factor Codes (continued)
Code Definition
A Using this code includes the auxiliary power unit (APU) fuel burn from the divert as part of
the calculation. As one of the elements that can be applied to the factor formula, this code is
V Using this code includes the conservatism fuel burn from the divert as part of the
calculation. As one of the elements that can be applied to the factor formula, this code is
T Using this code includes the anti-ice fuel burn from the divert as part of the calculation. As
I Using this code includes the ice drag fuel burn from the divert as part of the calculation. As
Examples:
• IL=P200CD – Ice Drag LRC Factor. This factor calculates a fuel total based
on the product of 2% (P200) of the cruise (C) and descent (D) fuel figures
from the divert fuel totals.
• IE=2DMA – Ice Drag 1LE Factor. This factor calculates a fuel total based
on the product of 2 times the descent (D), MAP (M) and APU (A) fuel
figures from the divert fuel totals.
• AL=P100CDH(/2)MAT – Anti-Ice LRC Factor. This factor calculates a fuel
total based on the product of 1% (P100) of the cruise (C), descent (D), half
of the hold (H(/2)), MAP (M), APU (A), and anti-ice (T) fuel figures from
the divert fuel totals.
The following tables list the codes for the other factors individually. Some codes are the same
as above, and others differ from factor to factor. Examples are provided after each table.
Table 20 APU Burn Factor Codes
Code Definition
xx Integer multiplier input. See previous table.
Pxxx Percentage multiplier input. See previous table.
C Using this code includes the cruise time for the divert as part of the calculation.
D Using this code includes the descent time for the divert as part of the calculation.
H(xx) Using this code includes the hold time for the divert as part of the calculation (for example,
H(15) sets the hold time to 15 minutes).

82
Example:
5CD – APU burn is 5 times the cruise and descent time values.
Table 21 MAP Burn Factor Codes
Code Definition
xxx Enter the MAP burn value, in pounds or kilos (for example, the entry 150 sets the MAP burn
value to 150 lbs/kgs).
Example:
150 – MAP burn is 150 lbs/kgs.
Table 22 ETOPS Hold Burn Factor Codes
Code Definition
xxx Enter the hold burn value. This is a fuel weight entry (lbs/kgs) when the Hold Flag is set to
2, and a time entry (minutes) when the Hold Flag is set to 1.
Examples:
• 500 – Hold burn is set to 500 lbs/kgs when Hold Flag is set to 2.
• 15 – Hold burn is set to 15 minutes when Hold Flag is set to 1.
Table 23 ETOPS Cruise Distance Factor Codes
Code Definition
xx This input adds xx nautical miles to the cruise distance.
C This input includes the great circle (GC) distance to the cruise distance.
D This input subtracts the descent distance from the cruise distance.
H(xx) Using this code includes the hold time from the divert as part of the calculation (for
example, H(15) sets the hold time to 15 minutes).
Example:
20CD – Add 20nm to the cruise distance, plus the great circle distance (C), minus the descent
distance (D).

CADB Parameters: “ICAO 2012 Certification and

Equipment” Section
IMPORTANT The Jeppesen cutover to the ICAO 2012 Filed Flight Plan (FPL)
format occurred on November 14, 2012. All flight plans filed with Jeppesen flight
planning products are now filed in the ICAO 2012 format by default.
IMPORTANT This document assumes a working knowledge of the “Procedures for

DOC 4444),” which describes the ICAO 2012 FPL requirements in detail.

88
How the CADB Supports the ICAO 2012 Filed Flight Plan
Format
The “ICAO 2012 Certification and Equipment” section in the CADB contains data elements
that support the changes implemented for ICAO 2012 flight plan filings. These changes and
the new CADB parameters are summarized in the following paragraphs. For detailed
definitions and input values, see “CADB Record: “ICAO 2012” Section” on page 94.
New Item 10a/b You can select new codes for communication and navigation
EQUIPMENT equipment and capabilities. JetPlan automatically inserts the selected
Parameter (NC2) 10a codes before the “/” indicator in Item 10a/b EQUIPMENT on the
and Codes flight plan filing strip.
You can also select new codes for surveillance equipment and
capabilities. JetPlan automatically inserts the 10b codes after the “/”
indicator in Item 10a/b EQUIPMENT on the flight plan filing strip.
R - PBN Certified The new PBN Certified parameter enables you to indicate whether or
Parameter not the aircraft has Performance Based Navigation (PBN)
capabilities. When the PBN Certified (I1) parameter is set to “Yes,”
JetPlan inserts an “R” in Item 10a on the filing strip.
New or Revised The following new or revised Item 18 indicator parameters are
Item 18 Indicators available. When an Item 18 indicator parameter is populated in the
and Definitions aircraft record, JetPlan inserts the stored value in Item 18 on the filing
strip:
• Item 18 PBN/ – Enables you to select ICAO codes for the

aircraft's PBN capabilities. JetPlan inserts your selected codes
as a single, concatenated string in Item 18 PBN/.
• Item 18 COM/ – Enables you to specify communications
applications or capabilities not listed in Item 10a.
• Item 18 DAT/ – Enables you to specify data capabilities not
specified in Item10b.
• Item 18 SUR/ – Enables you to specify surveillance
application/capability not specified in Item10b.
• Item 18 CODE/ – Enables you to enter the aircraft address.

89
Item 18 indicators must be filed in a prescribed order per the

“Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Air Traffic Management,
Fifteenth Edition (PANS-ATM, DOC 4444).” When an Item 18
indicator parameter is populated in the CADB, JetPlan automatically
inserts the stored value in Item 18 on the filing strip in the required
order.
New links between Several links between Item 10a and Item 18 apply, as follows:
Item 10a/b and
Item 18 • R (PBN Certified) and Item 18 PBN/ – When “R” is in Item
10a on the filing strip (the PBN Certified parameter is set to
“Yes” in the aircraft record), PBN levels must be specified in
Item 18 PBN/ and vice versa. Otherwise, the flight plan might
be rejected.
The Item 18 PBN/ parameter enables you to store the required

data for insertion into Item 18 on the filing strip.
• Specific Associations Between Item 18 PBN/ and Item 10a –
The following table lists specific associations that exist between
Item 10a codes and descriptors in Item 18 PBN/.

The Other Equipment (OE) parameter in the “ATS Plan”

section of the CADB enables you to store the GNSS
augmentation information for insertion into Item 18 NAV/ on
the filing strip.
• Z (Other Equipment) and Item 18 COM/, NAV/, or DAT/ –
When “Z” is in Item 10a, equipment or capabilities that are not
specified in Item 10a must be specified in Item 18, preceded by
COM/, NAV/, or DAT/.
The Item 18 COM/ and Item 18 DAT/ parameters allow you to

store data for insertion into Item 18 on the filing strip. The
Other Equipment (OE) parameter in the “ATS Plan” section of
the CADB enables you to specify the data for insertion into
Item 18 NAV/ on the filing strip.

Before Using the ICAO 2012 CADB Parameters

Before using the ICAO 2012 parameters or filing ICAO 2012 flight plans, be aware of the
following guidelines:
• You must configure your CADB with ICAO 2012 parameters to file ICAO
2012 flight plans using Jeppesen’s flight planning products. The ICAO 2012
FPL is pre-populated with this data.
• If your CADB is not configured correctly for ICAO 2012, your flight plans
might fail or be rejected. For information on setting up the CADB, see the
following sections.
• See “Reducing the Likelihood of Flight Plan Rejects” on page 92 and
individual parameter definitions in “CADB Parameters: “ICAO 2012
Certification and Equipment” Section” on page 88 for important notes and
cautions.
Reducing the Likelihood of Flight Plan Rejects

To reduce the likelihood of ATC rejections of flight plans due to incorrect entry of ICAO 2012
data, follow these guidelines:
• Ensure that when the PBN Certified (I1) parameter is set to “Yes,” PBN
levels are specified for the Item 18 PBN/ (I2) parameter.
• Manage the other dependencies between Item 10a EQUIPMENT and Item
18 PBN/ described in “How the CADB Supports the ICAO 2012 Filed
Flight Plan Format” on page 89.
• Enter no more than eight PBN codes in the PBN/ parameter.
• Enter only numbers and letters for the ICAO 2012 parameters. See “CADB
Parameters: ICAO 2012 Certification and Equipment Section” on page 93
for information on entering data in the ICAO 2012 database fields.
• Enter ICAO 2012-specific data only in the designated ICAO 2012 database
fields. For example, enter Item 18 PBN/ information only in the Item 18
PBN/ (I2) parameter in the “ICAO 2012 Certification and Equipment”
section.

92
• Do not enter ICAO 2012 Item 18 RMK/ information in the Other Equipment
(OE) parameter in the “ATS Plan” section. Use the Flight Brief Database to
set up an “A” Flight Brief type that uses the Flight Brief Text parameter to
output Item 18 RMK information.
• Do not enter any of the Item 18 indicators themselves in any database field.
The indicators are the following terms: NAV/, PBN/, COM/, DAT/, SUR/,
CODE/, PER/, STS/, ORGN/. For example, in the Item 18 CODE/ (I6) field,
do not enter “CODE” or “CODE/” followed by the input value. Enter only
the input value for the field. Example: F00001

This parameter enables you to identify the aircraft's Performance Based
Navigation (PBN) capabilities. If the aircraft has Area Navigation (RNAV) or
Required Navigation Performance (RNP) capabilities, they must be described
in Item 18 PBN/, using only the codes listed below. You can make multiple
selections, and JetPlan inserts your selected codes as a single, concatenated
string in Item 18 PBN/ on the flight plan filing strip.
Example: A1B2C2D2LIS1T204
NOTE The number of allowed codes (currently eight) might change in the
future. Therefore, there is no limit in the CADB to the number of codes you can
select. It is your responsibility to ensure that the number of selected codes
complies with the current ICAO 4444 Amendment.
NOTE The application of a degradation to the Item 18 PBN/ parameter in the
ICAO 2012 section of the MEL Database overrides the PBN/ parameter value in
the CADB and removes the CADB output from Item 18 PBN/ in the ICAO filing
strip. For more information, see the Help topic for the MEL Database in
