Airspace user testing of FPLs ...........supported by FAA
  1. Prior to testing with live FAA systems, users will be provided the opportunity to submit Filed Flight Plans (FPL) and changes in NEW format to an off-line system for testing.  This testing will be scheduled on a per-user basis and spread over the available time period.
  2. The FAA is investigating the possibility of developing a website that would enable users to check the format of test NEW FPLs against the Amendment 1 rules prior to any testing with actual systems.  Upon successful completion of offline testing, approved users will be given the opportunity to file NEW format FPLs with operational systems during prescribed times at a limited number of sites.  IATA reaffirmed their offer from previous meetings that their members were willing test partners and would support States where they can.
