SUS LCL CTLR VOICED CONCERN REGARD THE NEWLY ADOPTED ICAO FORMAT FOR FILING FLT PLAN INFO; ALLEGING SID IS NOT INCLUDED IN RTE BUT IN REMARKS.

Narrative

IN THE LAST FEW WKS SINCE THE NEW ICAO FLT PLAN FORMAT HAS STARTED; WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH FLT PLANS REQUESTING THE GATEWAY 4 DEP OFF OF SUS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED THROUGH COMMERCIAL OPERATOR FLT PLANNING SVC. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES THAT I HAVE WITNESSED. 5 OF THE TIMES I KNOW THE COMMERCIAL OPERATOR FILED THE FLT PLAN AND THE OTHER 3 OCCURRED BEFORE I IDENTED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROB. THERE ARE 3 ISSUES THAT I SEE AND THEY ARE ALWAYS THE SAME. 1) THE PLT IS REQUESTING THE GATEWAY 4 DEP; BUT IT IS NOT BEING ENTERED INTO THE FLT PLAN. INSTEAD; THERE IS A STATEMENT PLACED IN THE REMARKS SECTION OF THE FLT PLAN STATING 'REQUEST GATEWY4.' I HAVE SEEN ICAO FORMATTED FLT PLANS THAT CONTAIN THE GATEWAY 4 DEP IN THE FLT PLAN RTE. I DO NOT KNOW WHO FILED THESE CORRECTLY. 2) THE FLT PLAN RTE ALWAYS HAS BLV AS THE FIRST FIX E OF SUS IN THE FLT PLAN. TODAY'S CLRNC WAS 'KSUS..BLV..ROD..KCVG.' BLV IS AN ARPT AND NOT A NAV FIX. ACFT ENRTE SHOULD BE NAVING TO NAV FIXES AND NOT TO ARPTS ALONG THE RTE. 3) THE FLT PLAN INDICATES FULL RTE CLRNC; BUT THIS INDICATION IS BURIED IN THE REMARKS. TODAY'S REMARKS WERE: 'ACFT X IRMK/FRC0REQUEST GATEWY4.' THIS HAS ALMOST AND MOST CERTAINLY WILL CAUSE ERRORS IN THE NATL AIRSPACE SYS. IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO OVERLOOK THE FRC WHEN IT IS BURIED IN THE REMARKS. IF THE FLT PLAN HAD BEEN ENTERED PROPERLY; A FULL RTE CLRNC WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.
