SsaKcaj:

As advised previously, it all depends on what you inserted within Field 15 of your FPL. However, in your example you would only have to give the estimate for the next mandatory reporting point ie ELW.

The only exception to this is if you had specifically nominated the intermediate waypoint DUGGI as a reporting point in your FPL.

In other words:

(a) if you had entered the text string "DCT AY ELW ML DCT" or "DCT AY V147 ELW V175 ML DCT" in Field 15 of the FPL form (for a flight from AY to ML) then no estimates (or position reports) for DUGGI or BELLA would be required to be notified to ATC.

(b) however, if you had entered "DCT AY DUGGI ELW BELLA ML DCT" in Field 15 for the same flight, then both estimates and position reports would be required to be provided to ATC for DUGGI and BELLA (assuming you are not under radar surveillance by that stage).

Hope that clarifies the situation.
