COMSOFT – Support of the Bidirectional Conversion
{"Image DocumentName": "COMSOFT \u2013 Support of the Bidirectional Conversion", "Image ImageDescription": "New F10a. New F18. J1. J3. J4. R. PBN/C1. PBN/C2. Present F10a. Present F18. J. DAT/V COM/J1. DAT/V COM/J3. DAT/V COM/J4. R. NAV/RNAV2 C1. NAV/RNAV2 C2. e.g. Asia/Pac. Specs. COMSOFT. COMSOFT supports the conversion in both directions. Conversion Present to NEW is based on the information in field 18. J1, J3, J4, C1 and C2 are some of the new capabilities introduced by ICAO in the new format. In its specifications for converting those capabilities to the present format, the ICAO Asia/Pacific Regional Office (and also CFMU) decided not to remove this new capabilities but to put them in a free text indicator of field 18 (in this example COM/ and NAV/), i.e. as additional information. AIDA-FPL can make the conversion back to the new format by means of this additional information. Today, an operator filing an FPL in the present format is not used to provide this additional information, so that the converter wouldn\u2019t know how to convert the FPL to the new format. As consequence, operators filing FPLs in the present format after November 2012 will have to get used to provide this additional information in order to make their FPLs convertible.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
