So with the ICAO switch happening next month, I thought I'd file that way today. All I got was errors. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with FS when we got back and got a crash course on the codes. If you have Garmin equipment, you can download the spreadsheet below. This tells you which PBN codes to select. This was my issue. I had the wrong PBN codes selected.

We have the following in the panel...

Aspen 2500
GTN650
GNC255
GTX327
FreeFlight ADS-B in/out

Here is what worked for me...

ICAO Equipment: B, G, R, S
ICAO Surveilance: C, U2
ICAO PBN: A1, B2, C2, D2, L1, O2, S2

If you select R in the equipment codes, you have to select the correct PBN codes. The GTN and GNS GPS units allow you to select most of the available PBN codes. It's all in the spread sheet.

FS told me that in order to fly published GPS arrivals and departures, I had to select R and along with PBN code D2. Also have select B in equipment codes for LPV for GPS vertical nav.
