Chapter 4 — Operational flight plans

4.01  Pre-flight content of operational flight plan
 (1) This section prescribes the information for paragraph 135.145(2)(b) of CASR.
  General information requirements
 (2) The operational flight plan must include the following information:
 (a) the aeroplane's registration mark;
 (b) the flight number of the flight, if any;
 (c) the date of the flight;
 (d) the name, or identification, of the departure aerodrome, and planned destination aerodrome, for the flight;
 (e) whether the flight is planned, whether in whole or part, to be a VFR flight at night, an IFR flight or both;
 (f) the amount of fuel required to be carried on board the aeroplane for the flight under regulation 135.215 of CASR, and the actual amount of fuel carried on board the aeroplane for the flight;
 (g) for the planned flight route for the flight:
 (i) the route and route segments of the flight, including waypoints, distances and tracks; and
 (ii) for a VFR flight at night or IFR flight —the published LSALT, or LSALT (whichever is applicable), for each route segment of the flight; and
 (iii) the planned cruising speed, and flying times between waypoints, for the flight; and
 (iv) the planned altitudes or flight levels during the flight.
  Information about alternate aerodromes
 (3) If a destination alternate aerodrome is required for the flight, the operational flight plan must include details of the destination alternate aerodrome, and the routes, or route segments, required for the flight to the destination alternate aerodrome, unless:
 (a) there is a last-minute change:
 (i) to the destination alternate aerodrome required for the flight; or
 (ii) requiring a destination alternate aerodrome to be planned for the flight; and
 (b) it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances to update the flight plan to include either or both matters; and
 (c) in the case where the information identifying the destination alternate aerodrome is not included — there are procedures in the aeroplane operator's exposition to ensure the pilot in command is notified of the details of the destination alternate aerodrome before the aeroplane takes-off for the flight.
Note: Regulation 135.180 of CASR requires the inclusion of details of a take-off alternate aerodrome in the operational flight plan in certain circumstances.

4.02  End of flight information for operational flight plan
  For paragraph 135.145(3)(a) of CASR, the following information is prescribed:
 (a) if waypoints detailed in the flight plan are required, under regulation 91.630 of CASR, to be reported to ATS — the estimated time the aeroplane flew over each waypoint;
 (b) the fuel calculations made in compliance with the fuel requirements under Chapter 7;
