HAR Non-
Restrictive
Routing
An airport in EUROCONTROL airspace must be in Sector 1 or
Morocco (ICAO code starts with GM) with the following exceptions:
• If the airport is in Iceland (ICAO code starts with BI),
Estonia (ICAO code starts with EE), or Greenland (ICAO code starts with BG), it is excluded.
• If the airport ICAO code starts with U, it is excluded unless the following letter is D or K, as in UD (Armenia) or UK
(Ukraine). EUROCONTROL airspace includes UD
(Armenia) and UK (Ukraine).
Non-Restrictive Routing (NRR) uses an optimized route with
Navigational Reference System (NRS) waypoints. NRR allows an adequately-equipped aircraft to fly using Point-To-Point
(PTP) navigation above FL390 (39,000 ft). The NRS waypoints define “pitch and catch” gates or entry and exit points for the
High Altitude Redesign (HAR) airspace.
A waypoint is generated every 30 minutes of latitude and every two degrees in longitude. Ultimately, the grid system names a waypoint every 10 minutes of latitude and every one degree in longitude and lowers the minimum altitude to FL 290.
The HAR Non-Restrictive Routing option is available when the Origin and Destination airports are both within the continental U.S. (Sector 2). This option assumes that the aircraft has all NRS waypoints in its flight management system
(FMS) and is RNAV-equipped. If the aircraft has traditional (not
NRS) waypoints in its FMS and is RNAV-equipped, you can select the PTP Non-Restrictive Routing option.
The NRS Capable (NRS) parameter in the Customer Aircraft Database must be set to
Yes for the aircraft to be used in an HAR flight plan that uses the NRS points. If the NRS
Capable parameter is set to No, a HARSET01 error is generated when you request the
HAR flight plan. Contact your Jeppesen account manager for more information about the NRS Capable (NRS) option in the Customer Aircraft Database.

Directions
Maximize the payload with regards to the weight limits of the selected aircraft and the fuel and weight scenario you have selected in the Fuel and Payload list.
Consider structural payload limitations (14 CFR 119.3) and fuel limitations
(carrying a lot of fuel limits how much payload you can carry to stay under your max takeoff/landing weights). This instructs Jetplan to maximize payload until
FPO finds one of those limitations.
You can select the Automatic Weight Reduction check box in combination with any payload or fuel scenario.
In cases when the plan calculation exceeds a weight limit or fuel capacity limit, automatic weight reduction recalculates the plan using a reduced weight value.
Jeppesen FlitePlan Online continues to iterate the value down until it eliminates the error or the value reaches zero. Typically, the autoweight process adjusts the payload or fuel weight (depending on the scenario) until it determines a viable solution to the excess weight problem.

If you have specified an airway to avoid, use the Checkpoints Start box to type a beginning checkpoint on the segment of the airway you want to bypass.
If you have specified an airway to avoid, use the Checkpoints End box to type a ending checkpoint on the segment of the airway you want to bypass.
Use the Avoid User-defined list to specify an ad hoc area to avoid. You may specify a circular area to avoid, or a polygonal area with up to five sides. To avoid a circular area, you must specify a center point of the circle and a radius. To avoid a polygonal area, you must specify each corner point of the area.
If you are creating a circular avoid area, use the Latitude boxes to type the latitude point for the center of the circle. If you are creating a polygonal avoid area, use the Latitude boxes to type the latitude points for each corner of the polygon.
If you are creating a circular avoid area, use the Longitude boxes to type the longitude point for the center of the circle. If you are creating a polygonal avoid area, use the Longitude boxes to type the longitude points for each corner of the polygon.

Enable EUROCONTROL Route Availability Document (ERAD) routing, allowing the system to create a route that is both optimized and compliant with
EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions. Jeppesen recommends that you select the ERAD check box when performing a EUROCONTROL test file validation, unless you have selected Optimized for EU as the routing option. (If
Optimized for EU is selected as the routing option, the ERAD check box is selected by default but disabled.)
These options increase your likelihood of passing the test file validation. For

MEA/MAA
Consider and maintain a profile constraint based on MEA/MMA factors.
MAA (Maximum Authorized Altitude) is the maximum altitude at which you can be certain the VOR stations on the same frequency do not interfere with each other. MEA (Minimum Enroute Altitude) is the minimum altitude at which you can receive reliable VOR signals along a specific segment of an airway. MEAs also assure adequate clearance (1000 feet) of any obstacle (2000 feet in the mountains) within 5 NM of the airway center line.
Grid MORA
GRID MORA (Minimum Off Route Altitude) is a Jeppesen method of depicting the minimum flight altitude within a grid formed by the charted lines of latitude and longitude. Select GRID MORA if routing deviates from airway structure and you want to maintain minimum flight altitudes.

Managing Favorite Flight Plans
Jeppesen FlitePlan Online lets you save flight plans as favorites to save you time if you frequently use the same flight plans. A favorite flight plan prevents you from having to recreate a new flight plan every time you need a similar plan.
A flight plan does not need to be complete for you to save it as a favorite; you can save a flight plan as a favorite with only an origin and a destination.
To view favorites
• At the top of the Create New Flight Plan pane, select Load
Favorite.
The Load Favorite dialog box displays the names of the saved favorites.
If you prefer to work with flight plan numbers, you can include the flight plan number in the name of the favorite. See
Saving a Flight Plan as a Favorite
.
Saving a Flight Plan as a Favorite
Besides saving frequently used flight plan as a favorite, Jeppesen FlitePlan Online also lets you save an incomplete, uncomputed flight plan as a favorite after entering an origin and a destination in the Create New Flight Plan pane.
Each name for a company favorite must be unique. If you try to save a new company favorite under a duplicate name, an alert appears to inform you that the name is already in use. To save the new favorite, you must enter a different name.
You can save a new favorite flight plan in two ways:

Test Filing with EUROCONTROL
Test Filing with EUROCONTROL
EUROCONTROL offers a test file validation service that allows you to check in advance that a computed flight plan is accepted for filing when submitted to
EUROCONTROL. This service applies only to flight plans that are submitted to
EUROCONTROL (those that enter European airspace). Test filing does not guarantee that the flight plan is accepted when it is filed, but provides an indication.
This allows you to correct errors that would prevent your flight plan from being accepted, before it is time to file.
To use the EUROCONTROL test file validation service in Jeppesen FlitePlan Online, see the following topics:
•
About the EUROCONTROL Test Filing Process
•
Computing a Flight Plan with EUROCONTROL Test Filing
•
Manually Submitting a Flight Plan for EUROCONTROL Test Filing
About the EUROCONTROL Test Filing Process
When you compute a flight plan, Jeppesen FlitePlan Online recognizes if the flight plan falls under EUROCONTROL restrictions. Only flight plans with an ETD in the next 5 days (120 hours) can be submitted for test filing. All qualifying flight plans are then automatically submitted to the EUROCONTROL test filing service. You do not need to take any action to submit a flight plan for test filing. The results of the test filing appear in the Flight Plan Summary area in the flight plan package and on the
Flight Plans navigation tab. Results can include: EUROCONTROL Test File Passed,
EUROCONTROL Test File Ineligible, and EUROCONTROL Test File Alerts.
Details for any alerts are found in the Alerts area of the Flight Plan Summary.
Computing a Flight Plan with EUROCONTROL Test
Filing
All flight plans that qualify for EUROCONTROL test filing is automatically submitted to the test filing service at the time you compute them. You do not have to take any action to submit your flight plan. However, you can increase the likelihood that your flight plan passes by test filing and by selecting certain options on the flight plan form.

Filing Flight Plans
Test Filing with EUROCONTROL
To understand how to create a new flight plan, see
. When you enter an origin and destination on the flight plan form that fall within
EUROCONTROL restrictions, a new option is added to Routing list. Select
Optimized for EU to enable EUROCONTROL Route Availability Document (ERAD) routing, allowing the system to create a route that is both optimized and compliant with EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions. This minimizes errors that may cause your flight plan to fail the test filing validation. The CRAM check box is selected by default when you select Optimized for EU.
If your flight plan does not have both an origin and destination that fall within
EUROCONTROL restrictions, the Optimized for EU routing option is not available.
However, your flight plan may still fall within EUROCONTROL restrictions if the route of flight crosses EUROCONTROL airspace, or if either the origin or destination is within Europe. Such a flight plan is submitted to the EUROCONTROL test filing service. To minimize errors that may cause your flight plan to fail the test filing validation, go to the Advanced Flight Options pane and select the ERAD check box under Routing. This also optimizes the route according to EUROCONTROL’s traffic flow restrictions.
Manually Submitting a Flight Plan for EUROCONTROL
Test Filing
You can manually test-file in the following cases by selecting the Refresh button on the flight plan package:
• When you want to resubmit closer to filing to “double-check.” For example, you might have computed the flight and test-filed 5 days before ETD, and then you want to revalidate the day of the ETD. This excludes cases in which you have changed something in the flight plan (you would need to recompute and the flight plan would be revalidated automatically).
• When you initially computed the plan more than 5 days (120 hours) prior to ETD, and the flight plan could not be test-filed at the time of computation.You can then manually test-file within 5 days (120 hours) prior to ETD.
• If the flight plan was originally computed when the EUROCONTROL filing service was down, and you want to verify it later.
• If for any other reason, you want to double-check the filing.

Jeppesen FlitePlan Online supports Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
(RAIM) prediction reports. The Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) technology assesses the integrity of global positioning system (GPS) signals in a GPS receiver system. It is of special importance in safety-critical GPS applications, such as in aviation navigation. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online uses algorithms to generate a RAIM prediction for the entire route, including the departure and arrival airports.
For more information on using RAIM reports, contact your Jeppesen account manager.
You can choose from two kinds of RAIM reports in FPO:
• Settings > Airport RAIM Prediction for a single airport that you select.
• Flight Plan button > View Package > RAIM Report > Generate for all airports in the flight plan package, as well as enroute waypoints in the Flight Plan (if selected).
Requirements for RAIM Prediction Report Requests
The following rules apply for making RAIM report requests:
• You must have Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and/or
RAIM permissions set in your ID attribute file. Contact your Jeppesen account manager to ensure that you have the required permissions.
• You can generate RAIM prediction reports for computed flight plans and for individual airports.
• You must first select an aircraft when generating a report for an airport.
• You cannot generate RAIM prediction reports if the Customer Aircraft database indicates that your aircraft is not GPS-equipped.
• RAIM prediction reports use defined values for RNP departure, enroute, and arrival procedures; GPS equipment; and RAIM mask angles.

About a Weight and Balance Plan
Jeppesen FlitePlan Online enables you to create a weight and balance plan for a calculated flight plan. A weight and balance plan is a data record that defines the stations and center of gravity envelope for a specific aircraft. The Jeppesen weight and balance plan is a check and balance feature that enables a crew to review and, if necessary, demonstrate that the planned flight weight conditions do not exceed the certified limitations of the aircraft.
To successfully generate a weight and balance plan, an aircraft configuration must first be created for the aircraft. (See
About the Weight & Balance Interface .) You can
create one aircraft configuration per aircraft.
Figure 9.1. Weight & Balance in the Flight Package
To create a weight and balance plan, the following conditions must be met:
• A valid weight and balance configuration must exist for the aircraft used in the computed flight plan. See
• You must have a successfully computed flight plan. See Creating
Flight Plans for additional information.
The weight and balance plan enables you to enter weight and other measurements in various areas of an aircraft. There are two parts to a weight and balance plan; the aircraft configuration, which displays the aircraft stations, Arm values, weight and

graphical depiction of the center of gravity. See About the Weight & Balance
.
About the CG Envelope
The CG Envelope Diagram is a graph that plots weight on the vertical axis, and CG
(center of gravity) or MAC% on the horizontal axis. FPO displays the CG position on the graphic using three weight values:
1 Zero Fuel weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, and galley, excluding fuel weight.
2 Takeoff weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, galley, and fuel remaining at liftoff.
3 Landing weight—The total weight of the aircraft, passengers, baggage/cargo, galley, and fuel remaining at touchdown.

The Weight & Balance plan is configured via a series of steps in which you enter values that define the center of gravity (CG) for your flight. Jeppesen FlitePlan Online produces the CG envelope for your flight when you have entered all required weight & balance configuration information.
About Weight & Balance Information
Below you find descriptions for Weight & Balance options and functionality. If you wish to use a weight and balance configuration on a flight plan, you must create the configuration first. This section provides information to help you make decisions as you progress through the steps that are required to create the configuration.
For directions on creating a weight and balance configuration, see Creating an
Aircraft Weight and Balance Configuration .

Corrected Empty
Weight
The aircraft’s operating empty weight including the crew and crew supplies, removable service and emergency equipment, oil and usable fuel, and any other additional aircraft items that have a standard weight and position within the aircraft, minus the crew. Additionally, you can use the corrected empty weight to increase the efficiency of aircraft loading by adding any aircraft items that have a standard weight and position but are not part of the aircraft's operational empty weight. If you use the corrected empty weight to add items, you need to understand which items are already accounted for in the Corrected Empty Weight (CEW) value.
Corrected Empty ARM
ARM value that correlates with the corrected empty weight--for example, the weight of the operating empty ARM of the aircraft adjusted for any additions or subtractions made to the operating empty weight of the aircraft.
Step 2: Stations
The Stations pane provides information related to CG values organized by station type (Fuel and Non-fuel).
Non-fuel Stations are “seats” where passengers sit and “other” indicates any other position on the aircraft. Examples for “Other” stations include cargo, baggage, closets, galleys or any item located at a fixed position in the aircraft that is not a seat
The following table describes the information you have to enter in each box.

ARM value), for a total of 6 per row.
Type the Name of the fuel station in this box.
The options in the dropdown menu let you define the Arm Type as fixed or variable. If the manual for this aircraft lists a single value for this aircraft’s fuel ARM, select Fixed Arm. If the manual for this aircraft provides one or more tables and/or graphs depicting the change in the fuel station ARM or CG position as a result of fuel burn, select Variable.
Type the Arm measurement into this box.
The maximum volume of fuel allowed in the fuel tank. The
Volume Limit is optional, and is used for advisory warnings.
Fixed and Variable ARM Types
Fuel stations can have an ARM type of Fixed or Variable. A fixed ARM type is used for fuel tanks whose ARM does not change during the burning of fuel from the tank.
The Variable ARM type is used when the fuel station’s ARM changes as fuel is burned.
When a variable ARM type is used, variable fuel ARM tables must be configured. If there is one fuel tank with a variable fuel ARM, then a single fuel table must be configured. If there are multiple tanks with variable fuel ARM types, then either a single fuel table can be defined for all the tanks, or multiple fuel ARM tables can be defined, one for each tank.
For aircraft with a CG envelope based on zero fuel weight, fuel ARM values are not required for CG calculation. This is a required box, however. Add “0” ARMs for this type of aircraft to save on the time required for setup. FPO ignores this number when you
select the “based on zero fuel weight” check box in Step 3: CG Envelope

Working with a Load Plan
A load plan is a distribution of weight (station weight values) for a particular aircraft that you specify. Typically, you create a load plan during the weight and balance planning process. You are legally required to create a load plan for a flight. You can create one with Jeppesen FlitePlan Online or another tool.
Creating a New Load Plan
You must have the following to create a load plan:
• At least one customer aircraft available in Jeppesen FlitePlan Online.
• At least one weight and balance configuration available for the aircraft.
You can create a load plan before you create a flight plan by using the Payload
Calculator. For more information about the Payload Calculator, see Completing Basic
.
You can also work with load plans from the flight plan package. See Managing Flight
.
Load plan names must be unique.
To create a new load plan

Runway Analysis
This section describes the Dynamic Runway Analysis (DRA) functionality in Jeppesen
FlitePlan Online.
Runway Analysis is limited to certain types of aircraft. If your aircraft does not meet the requirements to use DRA, you neither see nor are able to access the features and functionality described in this section. For additional information, please contact your
Jeppesen account manager.
This section consists of the following topics:

About Dynamic Runway Analysis
DRA allows the pilot to monitor and quickly decipher runway conditions in order to assure that the aircraft does not exceed its capabilities during departure, takeoff and landing. To do this, DRA supplies on-screen data for factors like weather, weight, wind speed, pressure, temperature and runway length and to calculate how close the aircraft would be to approaching its limits for the selected runway(s). You can then make adjustments to avoid potential risks during takeoff, landing, and when considering shortening the runway. The Weight & Balance/Runway Analysis tab displays at the top of the window. The selected airports are displayed below the
Weight & Balance/Runway Analysis table.
After you have accessed DRA from the flight plan, the Weight & Balance/Runway
Analysis tab opens, displaying the following areas that can be used to review and modify runway analysis options.
About Calculating Runway Analysis
FPO starts the runway analysis calculations after you select Calculate on the Weight
& Balance / Runway Analysis page.
Selecting Calculate instructs FPO to perform runway analysis computations for the selected runways, aircraft settings, and weather conditions. When FPO returns the calculations, you will see that the output includes limiting weights and Vspeeds for the selected weather conditions and default increments.
Using the Dynamic Runway Analysis Pane
To access Dynamic Runway Analysis:
1. Open an existing flight plan or create a new one.
2. In the flight plan details pane, select View Package.
The Flight Plan Package opens.
