We recently went to the NAT Ops Forum in Montreal to find out what might be changing on the North Atlantic.
There’s still no news on when Shanwick will remove oceanic clearances. But we came back with notes on a few other things worth knowing:
- RCLs and procedures across the five OCAs
- Gander’s post-OCR headaches
- Mixed whole and half-degree tracks
- FF-ICE implementation
- Malbusca (Azores) and the SpaceX (US) launch impact on the NAT
- TTA – target time of arrival
- GPS jamming and spoofing on the NAT
- Greenland as an option for tech stops and diversions
- A cheeky little operator wishlist
- An upcoming datalink NAT Ops Bulletin update
- Space-based VHF, supersonic ops and the next NAT Doc 007
OPSGROUP members can read the full briefing with all the juicy details here.
