BUT a website would be great, especially ............ as there could be software behind it which would tell you if you are going to go into CAS, breach danger areas, etc!! Could also check Notams. No, that would be too good so it can't be done
Watch out! The much reviled AIS website uses software known as Aeronautical e-Services (AES) from Thales Information Systems of France. This was specifically designed to allow filing of flight plans, althought the feature has not been implemented in the UK.
This accounts for some of the funnies that users complain about, like the date format and the fact that you can't include an airfield in a route (both of these in accordance with ICAO Flight Plan format).
I suspect that part of the reason it has not been implemented is that FP's are routed differently depending on whether they are VFR or IFR. (Couldn't be anything to do with Eurocontrol wanting to charge Rustle for flying his C310 IFR could it?
- no I thought not
