Kiev (Ukraine) - 1st July - The ICAO EUR FPL 2012 Workshop was held in Kiev (Ukraine) on 29 June -1 July 2010.

The Workshop was organised in follow up to the ICAO EANPG decision and was hosted by the National Aviation University of Ukraine.

The Workshop was attended by 52 participants from 18 States and 3 international organisations. The objective of the workshop was to present the contents of Amendment 1 to 15 th Edition of Doc 4444 that modifies the format of the ICAO flight plan and discuss ways and means to foster a harmonised and coordinated implementation of these changes in the ICAO EUR Region and globally. The Workshop was marked by  very good attendance and participation. Various issues pertinent to implementation were discussed, including risk assessment issues, regionally coordinated implementation programme, transition guidance, national implementation progress etc. As an outcome of the Workshop, the EUR FPL 2012 programme was updated and  guidance to States in support of the implementation was provided where and when required. The Workshop has also produced several recommendations that will be further reviewed by ICAO EANPG groups to determine any follow up actions that might be required.
