(a) EGZYVFRP Scottish and Oceanic FIRs

 
(b) EGZYVFRT London FIR

 
Further addressing information is available at UK AIP ENR 1.11, and in the CAP 550 ‘Random FPL AFTN Address Book’, available for reference at ATSUs.
 
Additionally, CAP 550 is available on the CAA website here: CAP 550
 
 
Addressing VFR Flight Plans with Portion(s) of Flight Operated as IFR
 
The UK is a participating State in the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS). IFPS is the only system for the distribution of IFR General Air Traffic (GAT) flight plans and associated messages to Air Traffic Service Units (ATSUs) within the participating European States - the IFPS Zone. The roles and responsibilities of IFPS, with regard to addressing FPL, are detailed in the paragraph 3.
Note: Although IFPS handles IFR flight plans, it will not process the VFR portions of any mixed VFR/IFR flight plan.
 
Therefore, in order to ensure that all relevant ATSUs are included in the flight plan message distribution, pilots or Aircraft Operators should make certain that whenever a flight plan contains portions of the flight operated under VFR, in addition to IFR, the FPL must be addressed to:
 
(a) IFPS (EGZYIFPS)

 
(b) Aerodrome of departure

 
(c) Aerodrome of destination

 
(d) All FIRs that the flight will route through under VFR (in UK address to EGZYVFRP for Scottish/Oceanic FIRs and/or EGZYVFRT for London FIR).

 
(e) Any additional addressees specifically required by State or Aerodrome Authorities.

 
 
 
UK Parent ATSU System
 
Facilities exist within the UK for the interchange of messages for aerodromes not connected to the AFTN, and also for aerodromes without an ATSU, through the use of nominated ATSUs which have the capability to act as Parent ATSUs (Parent Units).
 
The chart at UK AIP ENR 6-1-10-1 shows the areas of responsibility for each Parent Unit. Any pilot or operator at an aerodrome which does not have an ATSU, or is not on the AFTN, and who wishes to file a FPL, should file their FPL to the appropriate Parent Unit that is responsible for their departure aerodrome. This procedure also applies if a FPL needs to be filed outside the hours of operation of the ATSU at the departure aerodrome.
 
The staff at the Parent Unit will assist in the completion of the FPL if required and will address it appropriately for processing through the AFTN. It is preferable to fax the FPL, if possible, and include the telephone contact of the pilot or operator in case of a query. When the pilot or operator requires specific addresses, in addition to those normally inserted by the ATSU for that flight, it should be ensured that such requirements are notified at the time of filing the FPL. Operators and pilots are reminded of the importance of adhering to the submission time requirements detailed in this publication when filing with a Parent Unit.
