Translation of "Pendant le vol propulsé " (French → English) :

1. This Regulation lays down the requirements on procedures for flight plans in the pre-flight phase in order to ensure the consistency of flight plans, repetitive flight plans and associated update messages between operators, pilots and air traffic services units through the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System, either in the period preceding the first delivery of air traffic control clearance for flights taking off from within the airspace covered by this Regulation or in the period preceding entry into that airspace for other flights.

7. ATC units shall, during the pre-flight phase, make available through IFPS any necessary changes affecting the route or flight level key items of a flight plan that could affect the safe conduct of a flight, for flight plans and associated update messages previously received by them from IFPS.

‘initial flight plan’ means the flight plan initially submitted by the originator including changes, if any, initiated and accepted by pilots, operators, an ATS unit or the centralised service for flight planning processing and distribution of flight plans during the pre-flight phase.

Propulsion: the integrity of the propulsion system (i.e. engine and, where appropriate, propeller) must be demonstrated throughout, and sufficiently beyond, the operational envelope of the propulsion system and must be maintained for the operational life of the propulsion system.

Two thousand and nine marks the 100th anniversary of powered, heavier than air flight in Canada.

Originally, it was to be an assessment largely of boost-phase missile defence options, i.e., missile defence options to strike missiles while their rocket motors are burning as opposed to later phases of a ballistic missile's flight. The committee revised this guidance somewhat, and we looked at boost-phase but we compared it to alternatives, in particular mid-course defence alternatives — shooting down the warheads as they fly through outer space.
