 Include CPDLC codes in Item 10a only if the flight is capable of en route/oceanic CPDLC, the
codes are not required for DCL.
 Include Z in Item 10a to indicate there is information provided in Item 18 DAT/.
 Include the clearance delivery methods of which the flight is capable, and order of preference in
Item 18 DAT/. (See AIM 5-2-2)
" VOICE - deliver clearance via Voice
" PDC - deliver clearance via PDC
" FANS - deliver clearance via FANS 1/A
" FANSP - deliver clearance via FANS 1/A+
